A Winters Tale.

Mr.. R. D. Mclean and Miss Marie
Prescott will appear at the opera
house tonight in a Winters Tale.
AS impersonators of Shakespeare's
plays they have few equals and can
be surpassed by none. Both are too
well known and too much admired by
theatre-goers in this city to need any
extended praise Mr.. Mclean grows
in strength and mower as an actor
every year, and Miss Prescott is his
equal in all respects as an actress. The
Chattanooga Times in speaking Of
Miss Prescott's impersonations OF the
characters in Winters Tale says:
Miss Prescott took the part of
Hermoine and Perdira, giving good
scope TO her rare powers as an
emotional actress In the statuary
impersonation of the dead queen she
was especially fine and rendered these
difficult parts throughout to the en-
tire satisfaction of her audience. She
was called before the curtain on the
last two acts"

"Othells,, Last Night.

A large audience greeted the Nc
Lean-Prescott combination st the
opera house last night, and witnessed
a most superb rendition OF Shake
speare's great play, "Othello." Mr..
M.Lean's delineation of that charac-
ter was very powerful and effective,
and shows that he has studied hard.
His strong voice and great emotional
nature were much in his favor, and
the impersonation Of the character
was excellent. Miss Prescott took
the very difficult part of the subtitle
villain "Iago" and her rendition of
the character was splendid. showing
her to be an artistic Of superior merit.
After the curtain had fallen on the
last act the audience applauded so
vociferously that Mr.. Mclean had to
appear before the curtain. The play
tonight is a winters Tale" and is
just the opposite Of "Othello," one
being a heavy tragedy and the other

Slight Fracture OF the Hkull..-The

acter.

George Brown, a young man about
twenty five years old, made narrow
escape from death last Sunday after
noon. He was sitting on the side OF
the Shenandoah Valley railroad near
the rolling mill, just before S o'clock,
with his head between his hands, and
as the train due here at $40 p. N.
came laundering along the engineer
whistled and the bell was rung, but
he needed not these warnings OF dan
ger.
Owing to some trouble with the air
brakes the engineer was not able to
stop the train, and parties who
saw the man sitting, quietly
on the track expected that
he would BIZ instantly killed.
His position, however, was such that,
while the cars passed within q few
inches of his head, he would have es-
capped entirely had he continued in
the attitude he occupied when the
engine and the first coaches passed
him; but unfortunately as the last
Pullman sleeper rolled along he
raised his head and was struck by the
rear steps Of the coach just behind
the left ear, and was knocked sense
less into the ditch below.
Friendly hands soon lifted him up
and he was taken to Mr.. NJ. A. Jones'
restaurant, on Norfolk avenue, where
he remained until about s o'clock,
when Doctors Buckner and Fry came
to his relief. The blood had been
flowing from his ear, and there was
some evidence of excitement when he
was seen by the physicians. 1t
appeared that the skull had been
fractured to some extent back OF the
ear, but, unless symptoms OF a more
serious character intervene, there is
no reason, il kept quiet, why he
should not recover from the effects OF
the injury.
Brown came here from Altoona, Pa,
and was employed at the new West
End furnace. His friends say he is q
quiet and industrious young man,
and it is hoped he will soon be well
again.

By reference to the record Of the

will be seen that the charge of INSIDE

has been withdrawn and the prisoner
discharged from custody, but MIR.
Miletti seems to be somewhat disturb
ed fearing that someone might modest
him. When he was first arrested there
was movement among some I'M
thinking men to take the law in their
own hands and deal out justice (?) to
him, but if this had been done it
would lave been forever blot upon

The number of persons afflicted
with the Russian influenza or la

continents to sneezing within the
past two mouths. seems to be largely
on the increase in Roanoke, but no
alarm need be felt over the manifold
dlscomforts of the epidemic if ordi-
nary precautions are taken and the
rest and retirement which the doc
tors urge is observed. The favorite
remedy for the disease seems to be
quinine and antipyrine. The TIMKs
reporter on inquiring at the drug
store found that the sale OF these two
medicines had largely increased since
the malady first made its appearance
in our midst.

ST. LOUIS, January 13.-At 4:S0
o'clock Sunday afternoon a tornado
entered the city in full force at Twen-
ty-third street and Chouteau avenue,
passing northeast until it reached
Seventeenth and Olive streets, where
it swerved, taking direct easterly
course to Fourteenth street, and then
again turned to the northeast, leav-
ing the city and striking the river just
north of Tyler street. The only an
nouncement Of the approach and pro-
gress OF the storm was O. dull, sullen
roar, quickly followed by a torrent OF
rain, which, in turn, was succeeded
by sieet, and before the victims could
realize what had happened the storm
had swept by and on. Trees were
torn up by the roots and broken of,
telegraph poles swept down as though
ings were lifted like feathers and
tossed into the streets.
Mrs. Charles Miller, who resides
with her husband at Twentieth and
Eugepia streets, was sitting in the
rocking chair with her babe in her
arms, when the roof was lifted from
her house. She rushed to the window,
and just then the wall geve way and
Mrs. Miller and her babe were buried
in the debris. The babe miraculously
escaped without a scratch, but the
mother was badly hurt and may not
recover. Mr.. Miller was in another
part of the house and escaped unhurt.
This is but one of dozens Of incl
dents of the terrible storm. All sorts
OF reports are now coming In. A
telephone message from Venice, ILL.,,
Nopposite the northern part Of the city,
says the storm was very disastrous
there, and that several lives were lost.
1t is just reported that a number Of
passenger cars were blown from the
track in the upper part of the Mill
creek valley, the western outlet OF the
Union depot yards.
The list Of victims by the storm
secured up to $50 p. M, Sunday,
are as follows:
Dead-Mrs. Maggie Corners, aged
40 years; Bernard Mcdonnell, aged 40
years; Joe Weaver, aged 90 years.
Injured-Thereas Weaver, aged 8,
both legs broken, will probably die;
Mrs. Charles Miller, badly cut and
bruised. Seriously injured-Annie

GATHERED BY OUR REPORTERS.
Rough Attack ON - House In Brick
Row Endeavor to Force the In
mates to MoYe-Charge Of Inn
morality tho Excuse for the Attack.

Visitors to Vinton by the dummy
line, Sunday afternoon, were sur
prised to find evidences of a rough
attack on one or more of the houses on
Brick Row, below the machine works.
Window blinds were broken and
marks of bricks were left on other
portions of the building, showing
that the assailants were determined
to make their indignation felt.
On inquiry it was learned that the
residents of few buildings in that
locality were accused OF immortality,
and, certain parties, incensed at their
alleged conduct, had determined to
make 1t SO unpleasant for them that
they would be compelled to vacate
the buildings occupied.
On Sunday afternoon they appeared
to be ''holding the fort" but it wa,
learned yesterday morning that the
attack had been resumed Sunday
night and matters wore a decidedly
war.like appearance until the arrival
of the police, who succeeded with
some difficulty in suppressing the
outbreak.
Without intending to uphold i'm
morality in any shape, it would ap-
pear that the laws of this city were
ample to meet all the requirements in
such cases, and it is a matter of regret
that the outbreak should have oc-
Cured.
1t is hoped the city authorities will
make a. thorough investigation OF the
case and spare neither the residents
nor their assailants ifit should be
found that the law has been outraged
in either case.
The reputation of this city for ODE
dience to the law is excellent, and 1t Is
too important matter for any per-
son to be allowed to disregard its pro-
visions with impunity, both on &C
count of the good name of Roanoke
and the law itself.
