The subject OF the subterranean

published in THE TINES Tuesday morn

Several old ladies have become
alarmed about the existence of river

science for a theory have given the sub

Since the article printed on Tuesday

discoveries tending to substantiate Mr..
Welsh's theory have been made.
Before Roanoke began to brild as
east side of Commerce street, near the
Lutheran Church. 1t was just after a
rainy spell, and the earth sunk one
night, leaving yawning chasm a hun
dred feet deep and large enough to re-

hole. 1t took several days work with q

In many other places such openings
have been found recently, and a

VIII Lavender Arrested Again OH Various
and Sundry Charges.
Sergeant Jones and Officer Schancks
arrested Will Lavender, of chair gang
notoriety, yesterday evening, and
locked him up at police headquarters.
Lavender went into S Nyburg's jew
elry shop on Railroad avenue, and
wanted to sell small silver watch.
Tho proprietor questioned Will so
severely that he broke and ran. Ser.
geant Jones and Policeman Schancks
saw the fleeing negro and started in
pursuit They ovcrhauled him lust in
the rear of the Norfolk and Western
officers.
Just before tho officers captured him
he threw away small revolver which
had been concealed on his person. This
was secured by the sergeant and the
watch also was taken from him. Tho
charge OF vagrancy, carrying concealed
weapons, and stealing watch was pre-
ferred against him. Lavender was re.
leased from the chain gang on Tuesday.
Late yesterday evening Il. ii. Baugh-
man, who lives on Nelson street. went
to police headquarters and identified
the pistol and watch. They were
stolen from his house yesterday morn
ing during the absence OF the family
from the room.
Lavender is a noted sneak thief, and
this exploit will probably check him
for some time.
