Tie Norfolk md Western VIII Dupli-
cate thc Crewc Plant at Norfo!!t.
The Norfolk and Western road has
finally decided 70 build immense car
works ut Lambert's Point, aud have
selected site on which to erect the
buildings.
The shops will be erected on the
old Barker estate, north of the COM
panyS tracks and west Of the tene-
ment houses. 1t will cost 100000 to
put up the buildings and equip them
with the necessary machinery.
Fifty laborers are now at Lambert :
Point ready to break ground for the
building. Their picks and shoveIs
will commence making the DIRT Ay
next week, and by the first of De
cember it is proposed TO have the
building up.
The shops here will he styled after
those at Crewc, with the exception
that they will be put upon a much
more elaborate scale. Tie company's
rapidly increasing business demands
more cars than the shops at Crewe
have the facilities for building, lud it
is now matter Of necessity TO have
greater building room. When the
Shops are in full operation il is esti-
mated that they will employ 560 men.
Most of these men will be skilled me
chanics, and as they will undoubtedly
want houses near the place they work
big building boom will undoubtedly
prevail in the Lambert's Point see
ton.
The railroad company find that
Lambert's Point is just the place fol
these shops, because most of the Goa
cars which come there loaded Will
coal will always be empty right at
the doors of the shops after havina
been unloaded. The coal business i:
now assuming such enormous dimen
sions that cars are short, and The
company cannot build them fast
enough to supply the demand. There
are already six miles of side tracks II
the company's yards at the Point
and four more miles are being con
structed, which will make n total Of
ten miles of side tracks.-Norfoll

GeorSe Wilson'S Biz azinsreis.

The season of amusements will
open at the Opera House on Monday
evening August IS, when George vii
sons Mammoth Minstrels will appear.
Wilson is said to have this season the
very best minstrel company ever or,
gained, everything being new and
replete with novelty. The New York
journal says of the company: Conn,
cal George Wilson stalked upon the
stage of the Criterion Theatre last
night at the beginning of his special
turn, and stood still. The audience
looked at him a second and then
some one laughed. George laughed
little, and some one else laughed
Then the disabilities of the audience
were stirred to their depths, and such
good old fashioned laugh as the
patrons of that house enjoyed will
be long remembered. And what were
thev laughing at? Why nothing il
particular but Wilson, but they
seemed to think it was time to laugl
and did so. His makeup was eX
tremely comical. The minstel organ
ization Mr.. Wilson has with him thi
season, is second to very few, if any
in the country. The singers are thu
be t, the comedians of a higher elias
thar us,ian.' eecn in minstrel shows
ialu tie iustrumentalists excellent.

TO the livery. Moss consented, but
rrStead of returning the team to the
stable Darlington concluded to take

MIR. Miller found the horse literally
bathe, in his own sweat, and with
whip marks all over his back and hind
legs. Alarmed at the condition. of the
horse, Mr.. Miller had Carrington ar

he was brought before Justice Hover

the evidence, concluded that SD fine

the demands of Justice. Darlington
was not able to pay Tie fine, and so

The promoters of the Paper Bag
Company are not allowing any grass
to grow under their feet. They have
been pushing things right ahead, and
expect TO have several machines.
turning out 2l0 paper bags a minute
each, and giving employment to forty
or fifty people, in running operation
by the first of September.
A preventative Of the TINES took
a ride yesterday with L. l.. Powell,
one of the prime movers of the com
pany, and had an Opportunity Of see
ing what had been done.
The promoters have purchased the
Price tobacco factory. corner Com
merce and Franklin streets, at cost
of $4,000, and have had it thoroughly
renovated and repaired. 1t has been
fitted up especially for the business
of the company, and IS now quite q
handsome and commodious structure.
An 50 horse power engine has been
put in as q moto', and the first floor
will be used as beehive plant. The
second floor will be used rs Office and
storeroom Of the paper bag company

Wan. More ofThenn.

From comparative statement Of
the business of the Norfolk and West
ern railroad for the first six months of
the present year with the same period
in 1889, it is learned that "a Ash more
local passengers have been transported
this year than last, and 4S9, 461 more
tons of local freight. The local freig
traffic is 81 per cent. greater than last
year. and the local passenger business
26 per cent. greater.
And the Norfolk and Western road
has thus increased its business by the
very liberal policy it has pursued in
developing the country through
which it passes. Pity we haven't a
dozen railroads in Virginia like the
Norfork and Western, for if we had
the boom would not be confined to
one section of the State.-Danville

ONWARD STILL.
The Inaustrinl south is Pushing Ever
TO thc Front.

The Manufacturers Record OF
August9 says: The contrast between
the West and Northwest and the
South is being very strikinglY
brought out at present by the daily
crop reports. In the former sections
disastrous crop failures seem to be
the order of the day. From Kansas
comes the report of Il corn crop of
only % per cent of last years, while
Dakota sends ont dolcful tales Of
short yields Of cereals. In the South
the farmers are rejoicing over the
finest prospects known for many
years, and the indications now point
to the largest cotton crop ever raised,
with prices high on account of the
stcaGily increasing demand through
out the world for cotton goods
The past week has witnessed the
organization of many enterprises
Glowing in tie line of the steel
works reported last week comes the
contract for steel works ut Middes

& Coed Idea.

1t has been suggested to the TIMES.
and the idea is good one, that it
would be an excellent thing for the
advancement of the city if the presi
dents Of the different land companies
here would form an organization and
secure more concerted action. SUI h
company would be stronger than
any single one, and it is readily seen
could be most valuable factor in
securing new industries. The com
pany could hear propositions from
persons thinking of locating plants
in this section, and then each presii=
dent could have Il meetiuG--of his
company called, and recolnIIe end to ii
whatever plan the large% company
had fixed upon. The idea - a goo'
one. .,M -

ABOUT THE HOTELS.

Captain A. J. Featherstone, Il
prominent investor and politician of
Bedford, was in the city yesterday
The captain was perhaps the tallest
man in town, and Charley Thomas,
the city treasurer, would have to look
up to him. But he is not only big in
size, he is big any way you take him,
and he numbers his friends by the
hundred. He has almost abandoned
politics of late, and is engrossed in
the development OF his prof. erty in
Southwest Virginia. But it is not
unlikely that he will again take the
stump if he is needed, and a better
champion would be hard to find.

Nine-tenths of the railroad acct
dents that happen to passengers are
directly due to the passengers them
selves. The railroad companies know
the dangers of travel and they take
every precaution to reduce them TO
the minimum, laying down rules that
are safe and wise. If passengers,
through their own reckless and fool
hardy conduct, transGress those rules
and are killed or manned, they them
selves are to blame and not the com
pany. Passengers must not get on
the platform until the train stops.
STAY in the car until it stops.

Yesterday morning the first spike
was driven in the dummy road con
Meeting Roanoke and Salem, and in II
few weeks the liue will be completed.
There has been considerable delay
in the work owing to the failure Of
the iish-plates to arrive. The car in
which they were lay at Buchanan for
over Il week, and no one knew where
ii WAS. The rails and spikes came
through without delay, but no rails
could be laid without the fish-plates,
aad so Houston & Co, the contrac-
tors. had to content themselves with
getting everything in readiness for
laying the road when the plates did
arrive. So the rails We're spread along
the road for Il distance OF two mile,
aud yesterday ut / o'clock big negro
picked up II sledge and sent the first
spike safely home.
The road is now graded within a
mile of Salem, and a large force of
hands are at work pushing it forward
rapidly. a saw mill has been placed
in position, and timber for the
bridges is being cut every day, and it
will not be long before the streams
living between will be spanned.
Next month will not be very old
when one can be whirled o;er 10

President Gable, of the Rock Island
road, is quoted us saying that the roads
do not make the most money out OF
big crops, for the reason that the
Changers insist on low rates, and the
general business is, therefore, con-
gested by the plethora of produce for
which there is no demand.

The weakness OF Missouri Pacific is
commented upon as showing the posi-
ton of Mr.. Gould in the market. That
gentleman is looked upon as a very
important and prominent factor in
the next bull campaign, and if this
be confirmed he is naturally favorable
to as low range of prices for start
ing point as can be obtained. There
are some who believe this is the ex-
PLANTATION of the present weakness.

Saturday is a big day at the Roal-
oke market, and yesterday more bust
ness was done than ever before in the
experience of the Oldest dealers. Up
to II o'clock last night the place was
thronged with people.
One hundred and seven wagons
paid curbage tax at the market house,
amounting to $50, the receipts
being about 81 more than any pre-
vious market The average receipts
per day for the first nine days of the
month have been $11, and they are
increasing as the later fruits and
vegetables are coming into market.
Prices for all kinds of produce remain
high. and we hope this fact will en-
courage our farmers to try and supply
the needs of our people.
