The Mcnt All Right.

A TIMES representative saw II. D..
Coyner, the manager Of the Cold Storage
Company, yesterday. lie said IN refer
ence to the reports that the cold storage
meat was preserved with kind o, liquid
substance, that such was not the case.
1t was first killed and put under cold
air current where it remained for sew
eral days. This prepared it for ship
ping and it is then placed in refriger-
ator cars and sent throughout the
country.
This meat on being shipped to Roam
oke is placed in the cold storage vaults
and kept perfectly pure and fresh.
There is no comparison" said Mr..
Coyner, "betwcen tho meat killed in
this country and the cold storage sup.
ply, which is always tender, fresh and
sweet. That it is healthy is beyond
question. Every doctor in tho country
who examines our system of keeping
meat says it is healthy. We want all
the housokecpers to try our meat. If
they do so once they will never use any
other" mayl6-1t

Have Fight.
w. c. OVERLY, q hatcher at the city
market, swore out q warrant yesterday
charging James Maher, the weighmas-
ter at the freight depot, with feloniously
assaulting him.
Mr.. OVERLY alleges that he carried a
quantity of beef hides to the depot and
requested that they be weighed. Maher,
who had charge Of this work, Tut five
hides on the scales and announced the
weight. OVERLY said it was not cor
rect, whereupon Maher cursed him in
an unbecoming manner and called him
several names which no gentleman
could take. Some hot words cnsued
and OVERLY was assaulted by Maher,
who struck him under the left eye with
his fist, knocking him down on pile of
goods.
OVERLY did not resent the attack, but
went at once to Mayor Evans and got
out warrant. The instrument was
placed in the hand, Of Policeman Vest,
who arrested Maher. He put up $50 for
his appearance before the mayor this
morning.
OVERLY is much incensed at his treat
ment at the depot and says he intends
to sue for dam ages.

OUR GOLD EXPORTS.

Commenting upon the immense
amount of gold coin annually drawn
from this country to Europe, the Chi
cago Tribune very justly asks the ques-
ton whether much of the enormous
drain is not accounted for in tho sixty
millions or SO of gold carried to foreign
parts every twelve months by the leis-
ure classes. But the disadvantage to
the United States does not find its root
at this point. The solution of the
conundrum is elscwhere-namcly, the
scramble for our gold by tho mono me-
tallic countries abroad to aid in relieving
their financial needs. Since the ex-
change of gold bars was refused the
needy European nations have generally
Offered American bankers q small pre-
MUM, varying from one.eighth to one
quarter per cent, to secure what was
wanted, and their efforts have been sue
ccssful.
The holdings and gold production of
the United States have very naturally
made this country bear the brunt of tho
drain and in disadvantageous manner
for the reason that we have no banking
institutions like the Bank of England or
the Bank of France to exercise needed
control of financial movements Of such
magnitude. Wall street is beginning
to look at the outgoing tide of yellow
coins with considerable apprehension,
but If tho views or Director Leach of tho
United States Mint are, faultless, then
there appears to be little cause for
alarm, as our stock Of gold is ample in
every respect and the present sales
abroad are not too large in proportion.
AT the beginning of May tho approx
mate amount Of government gold coin
then in the country was $4,000, 900,
while tho stock of gold bars in thc minis
and assay Offices reached some $50, 00O,-
900 more. Mr.. Leach holds that the
production Of American mines is $780,
100000 per year in excess of the demand
from Europe, and that the exports of
grain and merchandise of a like nature
can reasonably be counted on to bring
back much Of the metal now taken out
This year promises to be even more
favorable ,han 1890 in that respect, and

AFFAIRS OF STATE.

The return of President Harrison from
his months jaunt through the South
and West is announced and by Monday
tho nations chief executive will be in
readiness to take up the thread of pub
lie affairs which await official consid-
GRAFTON and sanction before further
Roadway can be made. There are
large number of questions Mr.. Harrison
will have to decide, from the granting
of consular leave of absence to the
joint council with Secretary Blaine on
the New Orleans lynching and the new
reciprocity agreements with Spain and
Venezuela, which cannot go into effect
until such proclamation is made.
The report of United States District
Attorney Grant in the Italian affair has
not been made public, but if it proves
to be what is generally limited at and
the President approves Humbert and
Rudini may not view the question Of
arbitration with unlimited equanimity.
However, the most important affair by
far to require executive attention is the
Dering sea business; whether arbitra-
tion is to be callod in and whether the
United States shall, pending a final
settlement enter into an agreement
with Great Britain to maintain n close
season in the seal fisheries for several
years. President Harrison was in q
position to mako special inquiries into
q 10 f,,,
Pacific Coast, and it is extremely proba-
bic he lost no opportunity to learn much
of nature, which may aid in disposing
amicably and satisfactorily of snarl,
that if left unsettled is bound to pro-
duce some very complicated relations,
If not open hostilities, between thc
United States and England.

Post says: Quarles, the young Roanoke
pitcher, who will be given trial by
the Nationals, was an employe in the
car shops of the Norfolk and Western

he could do betser playing ball than
building cars. He was signed by the

LAST season as being the best twirlcr in

From the Baltimore Sun.
Col. Charles G. Eddy, the energetic
vice-prcsident Of the Norfolk and IVES
torn Railroad Company, in letter to
w. r. Younger, mayor of Salem, cxpres-
scs the belief that he would live to see
population OF half million people on
both sides of Roanoke river, from
Tinker's crock, east Of Roanoke, to
Shawsvillo on tho west, distance OF
about thirty miles. In view OF tho pros
poet of this great population, Colonel
Eddy takes the ground that every city

the limits named should arrange for a
system of sewerage that would not ad-

and, after trying in vain to ward them
off, Mr.. Mervine escaped into the hotel
lobby. A number of friends of the
solicitor were kept at bay by we'll
directed thrustS, and, when he escaped,
the woman turned and walked away.
The woman proved to be Mrs. Daniel
