ferred against officer L. N. Tinsley for
neglectlng Salem avenue beat on the
morning of November 4.
After hearing of the testimony of

Tense the board suspended him for
thirty days. Tinsley did not deny be-
ing off his beat, but said he only went
to THE TINES press room for a paper
and remained there for three or five
minutes. Otherwise he showed very
clear record for all officer, and proved
that he had been attentive to his
duties.
Officer L. Johnson,o of the police force,

Jones claimed that he found him asleep
at the Continental Hotel early yester-
day morning, and going in, he walked

ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
RADFoRD, VA Nov, O.

The demand for the anthracite coal
near Radford is so great that 1t is al
most impossible to fill orders promptly.
This is another source of Radford's
wealth.
The great red hemntite ore beds
south of Chris tiansburg have been
opened and tho outlook for handsome
output is so encouraging that railroad
will be built to them in short time.
1t is due to the untiring efforts of Mr..
N. r. Stranger, OF Radford, that this ore
was brought to the attention OF promi-
nent capitalists.
The first kiln of pressed brick made
by the famous Boyd machine ut the
Radford Brick Company's works was
opened last week and proved to be a
success.
The first ball of the season will be
given at Radford Inn Friday night,
November 10, under the auspices OF
Manager G. f. Calibaugh and his
charming wife, R. e. Griffith and A. P.
Page. Dancing will begin at nine
o'clock and the spacious dining room
will be thrown open to about ono hun
dred and fifty guests. Refreshments
are to be served at twelve, and all in all
it promises to be great success. The
Roanoke Machine Works band will fur
nish the music.
Mr.. e. T. Clymer, who for some time
had charge of the Crane Iron Works as
its superintendent, has resigned to take
charge of the Allentown Iron Works, at
Allentown, Pa. Mr.. Clymer had
charge of these works before coming to
Radford.
Mr.. Arthur Roberts, OF Lunenburg,

copies of an editorial that will appear

calling the attention of tho newspaper
men of the State to the Importance of
the Worlds Fair convention, which
will meet in Norfolk October "a.
The Iron Belt opposes the proposed
trip OF the Virginia Press Association
to Dallas, Texas, advocating instead
the trip to Cincinnati, which has been
arranged for by President Pugh. The
Iron Belt argues that the former trip
will make it impossible for the editors
to attend the Norfolk convention, but
that If they go to Cincinnati they will
gain valuable information about sec
lion with which Virginia has recently
been put in close communication and
return in season to be on hand at Nor
folk.
This is quite stroke Of enterprise
for the Iron Belt, and THE TIMES hopes
that the editorial will meet with hearty
respone and cooperation from tho en-
tire State rress.

how 1t seems to have little practical APP
plication to too many OF their liyes.
"Haven't a right to wallop my Mig
ger?" This celebrated motto seemed no
doubt unanswcrablc to the ordinary
mind OF 200 years ago. "Haven't l a
right to spend my money as l like?"
This question seems perhaps unanswer-
able to us; but only because we equally
with u forefathers are content to
draw our opinions from the convention
al code OF the world about us, instead OF
going to the true source. If our hearts
were earnest and faithful some way
would be found OF using-not boarding
and not lazily giving away, but using
our surplus wealth for undolng the
heavy burdens and letting the oppressed
go free. Those who are employers OF
labor-and q number of us I suppose
have servants if nothing moroccan do
much by treating their employees as
fellow men and women, for whose good
we are in a special degree responsible;
by taking care that we give them enough
IN wages to supply every real necessity
and try to use every influence not by
patronizing, but by friendship-to cdu-
cate them and get them to use their
money well and wisely. 1t is necessary
to mention this, not that there are not
many who set a good example in this
respect, but because the custom OF the
world is too much for the employer to
regard his servants as machines for
whom he has no concern when the stip-
ulated wages have been paid; and the
secret feeling about it hasleaked through
into the language and crystalized itself
there: a master no longer speaking OF
his men, but only OF his hands. The
evils attendant upon our civilization
and the large system on which we do
business come out again here; in a large
concern it is impossible for master to
know his men intimately, if he knows

casting ever transported by the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad arrived here yesterday for the
Cambria Iron Company. 1t is half section
of fly wheel for the new billet mill, and
weighs $1,000 pounds.
The special car on which it was transport
ed from Philadelphia was borrowed by the
railroad company for the purpose from the
Baldwin Locomotive works, the company
having no car with capacity above 5000
pounds. The casting viii be unloaded next
week and the car will be taken back to
Philadelphia for the other half Of the wheel
The total weight of the wheel complete is
about lsO.O pounds.

Long-Lost Husband Turns Up.

WLKEBARRE, May 24.-An Enoch Arden
case has just come to light here. Forty-six
years ago George Thorn came 10 this country
from England. In 1866 he married Miss
Dorrey A. Scranton, miss Of sixteen. -Four
children were born TO them. Then one
morning Thorn had a quarrel with his wife
and he left home Nothing was heard of
him until five years later, when a copy of
the New Orleans Picoyuac was received by
his wife containing her husbands death
notice
Eight months later Mrs. Thorn married a
William Jones. They are now living hap
PLY together On Friday morning last, who
should knock at Mrs. Jones front door but
her long lost husband. The wife recognized
him at once and then tainted. Thorn, after
remaining two days as the guest Of Jones
and wife, left for his home in Knoxville,
Tenn, last night. He now says that be is
sorry for what be did, but will not disturb
his wife's present happiness.

JoHx BARDsLEy, the City Treasurer Of
Philadelphia, has gone estray financially
and has carried down with him several
Of the banks Of that city; or rather the
bank which was the depository OF the
CITY and State taxes has embezzled the
money. and the Treasurer, who perhaps
was pa4tio9s crim1a,is, is ruined. The
money Of Tie State, amounting TO over
$4,000, was in the Keystone Bank,
which is in the hands Of a receiver and
whose President has fed. Mr.. Bardsley
is in and under arrest, and until thor
ough investigation is made no one can
tell how much Of this vast sum will be
lost to the State. The worst, however, is
70 be feared, as the probing the banks
affairs are now undergoing discloses the
fact that the concern was rotten TO the
core. and the books and accounts were
outrageously and criminally doctored.

IT is most amusing 10 watch th'

ocrstic brethren. They have been COM
PEELED, however reluctantly, to admit
that all future attempts TO make the
country believe that it has a nonentity
for President must be abandoned His
many speeches, delivered underal kinds
of circumstances, in different sections of
the country, to masses of people not pre-
viously impressed in his favor, were able,
versatile, shrewd and statesmanlike. The
whole country recognizes this fact, and
for once petty parhsanship has been Ut
terly discomftted. The Democratic lead
ers are in a perfect funk. They see that
sneering, cheap-wit caricatures Of grand
fathers hat" and ridiculous stories of
Baby Mckee" have had their day. The
President has come in contact with the
people throughout the South and West

themselves, and campaign trumpery
must henceforth be cast aside. We COM

To Tell Poisonous Vines.

A very little csre and discrimination viii
save people from being poisoned by eitheI
sumach or ivy when wandering the woods
at picnic.
If one remembers that the three-ieayed
ivy is dangerous, while the five-leaved is
harmless; that the sumach with the white
berries is poisonous, and the red-berried
sumach not at all so-indeed, the red ber-
ries have an acid often enjoyed by the
writer, who knows them TO be harmless and
ever wholesome--one need never suffer from
poisons.
Both the poison ivy and the sumach, al :
though dissimilar in appearance of foliage
have white berries growing in small slender
clusters from the axis of the leaves, and 1t
is Of these the wanderer in the woods should
beware.
