A Mystery.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, October a.
This city was thrown into fever of ex-
citement this morning at 8 o'clock by
the finding OF the body Of a girl, II
years old, floating In Corpus Christi
Bay, near here. 1t proved to be that of
ROwna lIamlin. The discovery revealed
the fact that Horace IIamlin, father of
the girl, had left his residence at 5
this morning for a walk, accompanied
by his two year-old boy and two daugh-
ters, aged II and l3 years respectively.
After the finding of the first body,
thousands Of people assembled at the
wharf while stout hearts and willing
hands dragged the bay with every
facility at their command. One
hour was spent in this way
when the inanimat6 form of pretty
Helen was brought to the service,
adding horror to the sad occasion.
Further search resulted in the recovery
of the father, whose remains were con-
veyed to tho house, only to add to the
poor Wife's anguish.

DIR. PEDIGO'S LECTURE.
An Entertaining Discussion of the Line
between the Soul and Body.

An Entertaining Discussion of the Line
Between the Soul and Body.
An interesting and appreciative audi
ence listened to the lecture of DR.. L. G.
Pedigo at the Vigilant Fire Company's
Hall last night, entitled GA Blurred
Boundary Line" The Doctor discussed
at considerable length the demarkation
between body and SOUL
He took the position that the discus
sion as to the location of the soul is
absurd, and that the existence of the
soul is not perceptible. There seems to
be boundary between the soul and
body, but it is indistinct. He referred
to the theory of Sir William Hamilton
that nothing is tangible and all things
are imaginary, and to those who under
took to approach from the material side,
proving that all things are physical and
that spirit can have no existence.
The new movement in the medical
profession regards mental science as
the peculiar province of the physiolo-
gist, or the medical men. 1t goes no
farther than the end of life, and con-
siderS the question of the existence of a
soul or the immortality of the mind be-
You'd its province, but rather a theo-
logical question. The lecturer claimed
that the physiological school had done
more to clear up the mysteries of the
mind in the last fifty years than had
been accomplished by philosophers in
1000 years.
In this investigation certain type of
brain action, embracing everything,
part or pretense, which savored o. the
supernatural, had received attention.
The doctor continued for some time an
interesting discussion of the nature and
functions of the brain, and eXr lained at
some length the mysteries of hypnotism
from a scientific standpoint.

WHERE ARE THE GUARANTEES ?

1T is just one month from to-day that
Roanoke will vote on her bond ordin-
ances. That vote will be the most i'm
portant civic action in the history of the
corporation. Every freeholder should
become an active agent in his own be-
half. Some 100000 in bonds are asked
for.
That means an average of nearly 5000
20 each freeholder. Some of them will
nav ia the end several thousand dollars
On these bonds in principal and interest
The freeholders are putting their
aeads together and are watching and
waiting. Where are the safeguards
which they demand? Not yet in sight
ana the time draws near.

SOUTH AMERICAN REcIpRocITy.

Another South American reciprocity
treaty is promised before the 4th of
March, this time with Venezuela, and
ION much the same lines as that with
Brazil. Brazil, though the largest in
!. area of the South American States,
holds by no means as important place
. commercially as the Argentine Repub-
llic.
The total of South American com
MERGE under liberal reciprocity treaties
will be we'll worth attention. The
United States is now in position to have
the major share oft and to displace the
European influence which has been
bnilt up in field which naturally be-
longs to us.

sc Q T & RIVES
sTATION-KEEPER BAILY DEAD.
Pneumonia and Mental Disorder Brought
the End Yesterday Afternoon.

the End Yesterday Afternoon.
j. G.. Baily, the poor old station
keeper, is dead. The last breath of an
eventful life was drawn shortly before
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
1t was reported to DR.. Stone yester-
day morning that he was very sick and
unable to sit up. After an examination
the doctor found that he was violently
attacked with pneumonia in both lungs.
He was moved from the cell in which
he was confined to room adjoining the
mayors Office and laid gently upon a
mattress.
He suffered terribly during the entire
day and never recovered consciousness.
From o'clock his breathing became
hard and irregular, and his friends knew
that he was sinking.
The sturdy, kind-hearted policemen
came oft and bent over him, hardly
able to conceal the tears that rose in
their manly eyes. They said, "IIe is
gone. Not with the contortions of a
violent death, nor with the peaceful
smile of a saint departed, but on his
features were tokens of a helpless re-
signation of one who, in his last hours,
know not the world before or behind,
and thus he died amid strange surround
ing, while the bewildered spirit went
joyously out to the God who gave it.
Mr.. Baily was about SO years old and
was born in Albemarlc county. lie re-
sided the better part of his life at
Amherst Court House, and was a car
penter by trade. He worked in Lynch
burg before the war at the undertaking
business, and when the great struggle
came on he enlisted as volunteer in
Munford's cavalry, in which he made q
most excellent soldier.
He was married ~ or 10 years ago,
and his wife lived with him until her
death last spring. Since then he came
to this CITY.
The remains will be taken to Amherst
Court House to-day for lnterment.

TIE MONEY ASSURED.

Nothing succeeds like success. That
$4,000 is in sight and Roanoke can put
in her bid this week for that shelf hard
ware industry. The Opera House meet
ing last night repeated the success of
the Real Estate Exchange meeting of
last Wednesday. When President
Hockaday called the meeting to order
$4,000 was needed. When Chairman
Dupuy declared tho meeting adjourned
the entire 100000 was either signed or
pledged by the impromptu committee
which sprang into existence.
1t takes a meeting like that of last
night to show how thoroughly in touch
with each other are the real promoters
of Roanoke's prosperity. The example
of one was infectious. A good sugges-
ton found dozen echoes. 1t is by such
mon as met last night that cities are
built.
The addresses were timely and to the
point. One idea ran through them all.
1t is the wage-earner which makes a
town prosperous. He is the benign mi
crobe which does the work. He earns
his wages and spends them in tho town
where he earns them. lie builds houses
and adds to ground values.
1t was good days work. Every man
in Roanoke who can save SIS Il month
ought to own n share in this new in
dustry, and identify himself with the
agencies which are making a second
Pittsburg of the Magic City. The com
mittee which has pledged itself to see
that the remaining $4,000 is subscribed
should be aided and encouraged.
Now pray for pleasant weather. The
spring boom is upon us.

TALLEYRAND'S AUDAcITY.
A Contempornry's Anecdote of tho Fa-
nous DIPLOMAT,

A Contempornry's Anecdote OF the Fa-
nous Diplomat.
M. de Beugnot, a contemporary of
Talleyrand's and superintendent of DO
lice at the time of the Prussian occupa-
ton of Paris, relates the following
anecdote of Talleyrand, an incident in
which he, himself, played no incon-
spicuous part:
IN. de Talleyrand," says NJ. de Beug-
not, ION hearing that the Prussian
army intended to blow up the bridge Of
Jena, and knowing that on these occa-
sions no time was to be lost, ordered
me to find Marshal Butcher, wherever
he might be, and to use the strongest
language in my vocabulary on the part
Of the King and his government in order
to induce the marshal to give such
peremptory orders as would prevent
the threatened outrage.
"'Shall I say said I, that the King
will have himself carried to the bridge
and be blown up with it?
mot precisely; people will not be-
lieve us quite SO heroic; but say some
thing strong-very strong.
"Off l went to discover the marshal,
who was easily to be found, in GER
tain gambling house in the PALMS
Royal. Though by no means delighted
ut being disturbed in his only amuse-
ment, the marshal, on being assured
that the name Of the bridge was to be
altered, gave the necessary orders for
stopping it's destruction.
when l returned, and gave an ac-
count of my mission, M. de Talleyrand
said, spontaneously:
"'Wen, now 1 think that we NAV
profit by your idea of this morning.
You remember the King threatened to
be carried to the bridge, and was pre-
pared to be blown up with it. 1t will
make good newspaper article
IL profited by the hint. The anecdote
appeared in all the papers, and the
King received the compliments made to
him upon it with his accustomed affa-
bility and assurance"

A Hot Lamp Post.

The lamp post at the corner of Henry
and Campbell streets gives the light
committee no little trouble. 1t has
been out OF order for some timc. A
force of hands dug around the post to
fix the pipes, and tho lamp was lighted
last night. 1t burned at the jet and in
a large flame about the thumbscrew.
The post was so hot to the ground last
night that ones hand could not be
borne upon it.

Different Kinds of Men.

A philosopher who has plumbcd the
depths of science may, nevertheless,
seem very ignorant in general society.
He may be chemist, but the chemical
affinities" are not subjects for drawing
room chat. There arc celebrities, how
ever, who add to thorough knowledge
of one fold of study familiar ac-
quaintance with almost every topic dis
cusscd by the thinking world. 1t is de-
lightful to meet with such men.
