The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-11-28

There is no doubt that there will be
grand public celebration in Roanoke
upon the completion of the Roanoke
and Southern Railroad. The CONNER
cial Association has taken hold of the
matter, and at its meeting Tuesday
night a resolution offered by DR.. f. A.
Parsons was adopted, suggesting that
public celebration would be in order
and that committee of five be APP
pointed, with power to enlarge their
number as they may think necessary to
devise ways and means to fittingly cele-
brate the event.
This resolution was heartily supported
by Messrs. Jas. S. Simmons, Col. Lewis
and j os. II. Engleby at the time of its
adoption. The citizens of Roanoke are
anxious to have such a celebration, and
the event will no doubt be grand sue
cess. a TIMES reporter interviewed
large number of people yesterday and
they were unanimous in expressing their
approval of the plan.
Hon. H. S. Trout, director of the
road, thought the idea an excellent one,
but enough money should be raised to
make the celebration grand one. 1t
should be no shoddy affair. Martins
Vile is going to have a celebration and
Roanoke should not be behind in this
matter. If tho celebration is decided
upon the citizens from Martinsville and
Winston should be invited, as they have
invited the Roanoke people.
DR.. Il. A. Parsons, who offered the rcso.
luton at the Connie rcirl Association
meeting, is for the project heart and
soul. lie thinks it would be a good
thing for Roanoke, and SO enthusiastic
is he over tho matter that he oven
lapsed into poetry when the reporter
talked to him. His poetcal effort is as
follows:
1--WE will astonish the nation
And all creation
by whoopng up the celebration
City Solicitor Miller also favors the
plan. lie thinks it would be q good
thing for Roanoke and would like to
sec grand celebration upon tho COM
pletion of the road.
w. w. Coe, chief engineer Of the Nor
folk and Western, thinks it would be a
very good thing for tho road and also
for Roanoke. 1t would let the people
know we have another railroad here.
Hon. nj. @. Thomas stated that al
though he would not be here, he thought
the event should be fittingly celebrated,
,Ihu Ihihhs III woulo De Sooo thing Tor
Roanoke
Roy Is. Smith, commonwealth attor-
ney, said it would be an excellent thing
provided it was done in such a manner
as to attract people. If it is going to
be done at all it should:be we'll done, as a
trifling affair would be of no advantage
to the city.
j. G.. Rawn, manager of the Gas and
Water Company, thinks the celebration,
should be held, as it marks an import
ant epoch in the history of Roanoke.
The matter will probably be called to
the attention of Council and com
mittee appointed to cooperate with
the committee Of Che Comm ercial Asso-
citation in arranging for the event 1t
is expected that the road will be COM
pleted some time in January and ar
engagements for the celebration should
be made in the near future.

ALBANIANS PLOT MURDER.

Conspiracy on IA Steamer From Constnuti-
nople.
MARsEILLEs, Nov. 27.-A mail boat
which has arrived hero from CONSTANT
nople brings information OF an unsuc-
cessful conspiracy among certain pas
sengers to kill the chief officers of that
vessel. 1t appears that while in port at
Constantinople, eighty Albanians, who
were passengers on the vessel, became
engaged in quarrel, and the police
were summoned TO quell the disturbance.
After the vessel had sailed from Con-
stantinople, bound for Salonica, the
Albanians, out Of revenge, plotted to
murder the captain and mate, by whom
the police had been summoned at the
time Of the quarrel. Fortunately, tho
plot was discovered before the Alban-
ians had time to carry out their plans.
The crew, being heavily armed, lost no
time in arresting the plotters and put
ting them in chains, and handed them
over to the police at Salonica.

Cancer, Shoots Himself.
Charles Lumley, wine dealer at 627
Sixth street south, committed suicide
early yesterday morning by firing a
bullet into his brain through his left
ear. Lumley had been afflicted with
cancer of the stomach for several years.
Last February he submitted to an OPP
Grafton, which did not prove entirely
successful, and from that time ne was
confined to his bed, only leaving il once
about three months ago, when he was
taken up town. At that time he Sc
cured revolver, and frequently after
wards he spoke of suicide. Latterly,
however. he appeared in better spirits.
During the past week he was very
low. and it was not expected that he
could live more than few weeks.
Yesterday morning between and
5 O'Clock he called his nurse and asked
to be lifted into his arm chair. He then
sent the nurse away, and few minutes
later the fatal shot rang through the
house. Lumley only lived about thirty
minutes and did not regain conscious
ness.
The revolver which he used had been
covered with q paSteboard funnel. upon
one end of which was large screen of
the same material. which completely hid
the weapon from his view. The bullet
entered the left ear and, CHANGING from
the skull, entered the brain. Lumley
was siXty-eight years of age and was
native of Yorkshire, Eng. He has
lived in Minneapolis since 1867, and
most of the time has been engaged in
the grocery trade.
During the past ten years he has
dealt in wines at 627 Sixth street south,
where he also lived. Besides his wife he
leaves grown-up daughter. The cor
oner has decided not to hold an inquest.

Yesterday the Attendance Record
at the Exposition Was Broken

The only thing that can be said about
is that the Exposition for this season is
simply hummer. Since the day of the
opening the people have been crowding
into the building, and each day the
crowds have been larger than the day
previous. Those who came to see the
big show returned to their homes and
told their friends what fine thing it
was, and the persons who were told
these things came in their turn to see
them for themselves. There has not
been heard one word but of praise for
the great exposition. and the manage
ment has been complimented time and
time again for the excellent class of the
exhibits and the arrangement of the
displays. Those who came with the
expectation of seeing something of
the style of fair, gotten up in cheap
manner. were greatly surprised to find
collection of exhibits which were of
character to compare in the most favor
able manner with any exposition In the
country. They expected to see cheap
collection of paintings in the art gal

such magnificent display of the finest

which, have made the sixth ANNUAL Ey-

THINK 1T a WINNER.
Said That Flax Can Be Raised for
Both Seed and Fiber.

The American Fiber Machine COM
pany of Minneapolis claims to solve the
problem of raising flax for the seed and
the fiber at the same time. 1t claims to
have some patents that will handle flax
so that the farmer can make two profits
out of it instead of one. This company
has one machine that is said to thresh
the flax without injuring the quality of
the fiber. Then it is.said to have other
machines thatwill prepare the fax for
the linen mill and do it in better shape
than it has ever been done before. The
patents are on inventions of George
Y. Smith and John McGrath. Both are
experienced mechanics and McGrath has
had extensive experience in the linen
mills of the old country. They have
formed company for the manufacture
of these machines, and hope to do an
extensive business in the Northwest,
since the farmers OF this section have
taken to raising flax in large quantities.
1t is proposed to establish in all the i'm
pOrtant Northwestern towns plants for
the manufacture of tow, cut line and
long fiber. Then these products will be
brought to the parent factory and made
up into yarn, Irvine and linen goods of
all kinds. 1t is also intended to make
bags for the mills. The flour manufact-
urers now use over $l,O00,000 worth of
jnte bags. The men at the head of this
new enterprise claim that they can
make better bag than the jute for q
little more than half the money that is
now paid for the jute. The company is
now doing business in the building re-
