DEMOCRATS TO BE COUNTED OUT.

Texas, the other day: 1--WE republicans

LIKE A SKUNK'S TAIL.

A gentleman who arrived In Charles.
ton the other day, says the Charleston,
Mo-, Democrat, while travelling last
week met Sam Jones on the train. In
conversation with the Rev. Sam the
talk naturally driited into politics and
upon Senator Ingalls, "negro speech
which had Just been delivered in the
senste. Said Mr.. Jones "Mr. lngalls
is Just like q skunk's tail; all he is flt

right thing at very opportuue time.

q tariff will not change the price of
grain or other farm products. "The
price of farmers products" it says, "is
fixed by foreign markets, and the price
of nearly everything the farmer buys is
determined by the tariff and its Incl
dents. This is au ugly truth but it
cannot be wiped out"

A ROOMS WORK.
What it Did For Bright Young Man
From Richmond.

An enterprising young gentleman
of Richmond returned this morning
from Southwest Virginia, where he
went to revel in the heart Of the spec
ulative boom. His forehead was
bruised and one eye was very black.
He looked like he had just battled
with a grizzly or fell down a high
flight of stairs headforemost.
4 friend asked the cause of the
warlike appearance, and the reply
was: Il was out in Southwest Vlr-
GINA prospecting for mineral land,
and, like many others out there,
kept my eyes on the ground pretty
much all the time. While doing this
1 butt against another prospector
who was searching just as intently
as was, and you ought to see his
head. 1t looks like the war map of
Egypt.
The young gentleman nevertheless
thinks Southwest Virginia a great
place and believes it will be greater

A TEDIOUS CASE.
1T WILL COME TO AN END
TODAY, PERHAPS.
COURT BUSY CONSIDERING CASE.
The Fidelity Insurance, Trust and
Safe Deposit Company of PhiladeI-
phia Against the Shenandoah valley
Railroad. An Array of Legal Talent.

A famous case will be decided in the
Circuit Court today and one of the
most tedious litigations ever known
in the state will probably come to al
end.
For two hours yesterday morning.
from ten until twelve, the court was
busy considering the case of the III
deity, Insurance Trust and Safe De-
post company of Philadelphia,
against the Shenandoah Valley rail
road.
There was an array of legal talent
seldom seen in the court room here,
some of the brightest legal minds of
the country being present. The con
ilicting interests were represented by
men with national regulations. Hon.
William Travers, of Charlestown, w.
Va, the general counsel, appeared
for the railroad company. The plain
tiiTs were represented by Messrs. Dixon
& Dale, two eminent lawyers from
New York City. The first mortgage
bondholdcrs had Charles Lamberton
of New York, and Joseph Leedum of
Philadelphia. and the interest of the
general bondholders were looked after
by Judge Waller p Staples, Of Rich
mond, and Frank Il. Clark, OF Balti-
more.
The bill of the Fidelity company is
OF long standing, having been filed 10
1885. It asks that the first, second and
third mortgage on the road be paid
and the result was the appointment
OF receiver. The claims OF the plain
tiff have been sustained in both the
Circuit court and Court Of Appeals.
During the progress of the suit a
number of interesting questions arose
and these had to be decided. Among
the most important of these We're the
claims of the Central Improvement
company and that of the general
mortgage stockholders.
Upon the decision Of today the
future of the road to great extent
hangs.

NOT SOUTH:HATER.
winsone wfnnie's Prospective Hus'
band is n Good Democrat.

1t now transpires beyond the
shadow of doubt that the young
man whom Miss Winnie Davis is to
wed is not a scion of bowling abo-
litionists and South-hater as has
been alleged.
The young man himself is a States 5
rights Democrat of the first water,
and his father and grandfather were
of the same political faith.
He is grandson of Judge Wilkin-
son, the founder of Syracuse, New
York, and a man universally beloved
and honored.
The Wilkinsons are an old aristo-
cratic family which. from one gener-
alton to another, have stood at the
top of the social ladder of Syracuse.
Miss Winnie's prospective husband
is highly educated gentleman, hay
ing graduated among the first of his
class at Harvard University. He is a
lawyer by profession, and is regarded
as one of the most promising and
brainy young men of New York State

SALEM, Va, April 25, 1890.
One of the surest indications vf sue
cess in the formation Of new city is
the continued establishment of new
enterprises. Some time ago the Hols-
tein wooden mills were secured in pros
pect for Salem, and yesterday definite
ly located. The company will at any
early date begin the erection of three
large buildings on the corner OF Bridge
street, only a short distance from one
of the new and handsome iron bridges
now in process of construction across
Roanoke river. The capital stock has
been increased to Sl50,0O0, and this
augmented supply of capital will en-
dow the mills with ample facilities for
the progress of their work. About
400 operatives will be employed
The work on those iron bridges is
being rapidly pushed forward and
their completion will largely increase
the value of the lands lying beyond
the river.
An order for fifteen thousand ice
cream freezers has been secured oy
the Salem Folding Chair Company, in
conjunction with the Camden Iron
Works. The thought of such d thing
makes ones mouth water on a day
like this.
The Conrad Chair Company has
gone actively to work. They mean
business.
The Salem improvement Company
has advertised for bids for the con-
struction of six large and commodi-
Gus brick warehouses, which will
probably be located on College av-
enue. One of these buildings, Presi-
dent Allemong informs Inc, is to be
used as furniture establishment,and
will be 50x100 feet in dimensions, con-
sisting of two stories and basement.
Today the papers were drawn up
closing the sale OF the farm formerly
belonging to Professor Graybill, OF
Roanoke city. This farm, comprising
about eighty-five acres was pur-
chased by ten men at $4,000 last
October, and is sold now for $4,000.
Yesterday afternoon a team on
one of the back streets ran over the
little son of Clayton Howard, color
ed barber. The child's leg was
broken.
This evening at eight o'clock in the
Town Hall, the Annual Junior De-
bate of the Demosthenian Literary
Society is expected to take place.
The Salem band is unable to furnish
music, and a committee has been dis
patched to Roanoke to secure band.

Salem, but now q resident Of Bristol,
Tennessee, is at the Lucerne.
