"A Brief Skotch of IL Successful business
Career ola n. Il w. Director.
From the London Financial Times,
MIR Gray's engaging personality was
well known in the city, whore he had
practically spent the whole of his active
life. He was a Scotsman, 4 native of
Perth, and was educated at Trinity Col
legc, Glcnalmond. After leaving school
Mr.. Cray went to brussels, where, in
tho service of the Banquc de Paris ct
des Pays Bas, he became acquainted
with Continental methods of business,
knowledge which was invaluable
to him in later years. NIcssrs. Vivian,
Gray Il Co. having important connect
ions abroad. In 1872, at the age of
eighteen, Mr.. Everett Gray joined Mr..
vivian, whose partner he afterwards
became, and his talents and quick in
telligence soon won him high position
in financial circles in London. Mr..
Gray was particularly identified with
Virginian enterprises. His firm acted
as London agents and correspondents OF
the Norfolk and Western railroad. and
MIR. Gray had a seat on the board of the
company. To his prescienoe and know
ledge Of the capabilities of the State,
the investing public owes the intro
PRODUCTION here of several of the most
substantial of Virginian undertakings,
such as the Flat Top Coal Land Associa-
ton and the Virginia Development
Company. Mr.. Gray's personal and
business qualities were as much ap-
reciatcd on the other side OF the
Atlantic as here, and his frequent
visits to Philadelphia and to Virginia
to keep himself posted in the affairs OF
the enterprises in which he. his firm.

DARNALL's APPLICATION DowNED.
Judge Robertson Against Saloons In tho
Resident Portion of the City.

Judge Robertson Against Saloons In tho
Resident Portion of the City.
The Hastings courtroom was pretty
we'll filled yesterday morning at 0
o'clock. Judge Robertson, notwith-
standing his severe attack of illness on
the day before, was on the bench. The
occasion was the application of c. l..
Darnall for a liquor license on Shenan-
doah avenue n. Q. The application was
before the judge on Monday morning.
but all the witnesses were not exam
ined.
The resumption of evidence was be-
gan yesterday morning, and several
policemen were put on the stand to
prove the condition of the police pro-
lection in that locality.
Quite an extensive examination was
entered into by the attorneys on either
side, but Judge Robertson soon checked
the proceeding. The courtroom was
full of witnesses who would oppose the
saloon.
'Gentlemen think this matter has
gone far enough" said the Judge. 81
am satisfied additional testimony is
useless, for it is clearly shown that the
citizens are objecting to saloon in
their midst"
The judge then went on to state that
he did not approve of barrooms being
dotted around over a residence portion
of the city. There would not be a
single saloon in East Roanoke to-day
if the people had objected to them. If
he were to grant Darnall license it
would be inconsistent with his former
decision in the Corrigan case. All he
desired to know was that the residents
and property owners of a certain local
ity objected to a saloon and there should
be none to interfere with them.
The application was accordingly dis
missed. Judge Robertson was then the
hero and champion of the people in that
community. One lady who was present
said: ''He is the best Judge | ever
heard of. hope he will hold his place
as long as he lives"
Darnall says he is done with East
Roanoke. lie wants to get rid of his
property in that side of town and never
set his foot in it again.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION ABROAD.

MIR. Garner's Discoveries of Monkey Lam
guage in London.
K. L. Garner, of Roanoke. who re-
Gently attracted so much attention in
this country by his remarkable expert
ments with the monkey tongue, has
written an article for leading scicn-
tific journal of London. OF this the
London correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic says:
No article in the June magazine has
attracted so much attention as that by
the American professor, X. i. Garner.
on tho Simian tongue in the new re-
view. Possibly America has hereto
fore heard of the progress Of his re-
markable experiments with the phon-
ograph in catching and comparing the
vocal sounds of monkeys and deducing
from them the rudiments of language,
but tho whole thing came as revela-
ton here and created the liveliest curl
osity for further information. One per-
picking thing which number of Eng
lishmea have spoken to me about is
why Professor Garner, IN order to prose-
cute those studies, was dependent upon
chance encounters with monkeys in
ZOOS" of various towns, instead of
being provided by some institution with
a sufficient number of animals for the
purpose, as would be done here or else
where in Europe.

PERHAPS IT WAS A MISTAKE.
L. ID. Workman Arrested on the Charge o.
Obtaining Money by False Pretense.

l.. ID. Workman Arrested on the Charge of
Obtaining Money by False Pretense.
l.. D. Workman, young man for
merly in the employ of the Norfolk and
Western, was arrested yesterday on a
warrant sworn out by John Nj. Roberts
charging him with obtaining $50 under
false pretenses.
1t appears that young Workman owed
Mr.. Roberts livery bill, and gave him
check for $40, stating that he wished
to pay s. on his account. Mr.. Roberts
gave him SIS in money, but afterward
learned that Workman had no funds in
the bank on which the check was drawn
1t seems that misunderstanding was
the cause of the trouble. Workman S
father-in-law promised to send him
some money and the check was drawn
with that prospect in view The mat
ter was arranged satisfactorily as soon
as the young man was arrested His
friends assert that it was a case of over
sight, as Workman belongs to highly
respected family. His uncle, Captain
Workman, arranged the case without
going to trial.

THE LICK RUN SEWER.
The Sewer Committee Decides to Deviate
from the Original Plan

The Sewer Committee Decides to Deviate
from the Original Plan
The Lick run sewer is being changed
considerably from the first plan. The
sewer committee have decided to Law
two mains, ono on each side OF the
wall. This necessitates a change in
the walls. and much of the masonary
which has been put up will have to be
torn down.
1t is claimed that the present stream,
if only walled up and covered, will not
prevent the sewers from being offensive
which empty i'll at different points.
The east wall will be moved about
two feet from the stream, and the west
wall about the same distance into the
stream. This change will give ample
room to lay the sewer on the outside of
each wall.

for Their Health,

for Their Health.
The stay of execution which had pre-
viously been granted by Judge Robert
son in the case of George Colvin, who
was sentenced to the pcnitentiary during
the May term of court for robbing Ilud-
dlcston's saloon, was set aside yesterday
George appeared before Judge Robert
son and said he would much prefer to
go on to Richmond, as he believed that
the exercise would be beneficial to his
health.
George Hairston, one of the accom-
plices in the robbery, also made up his
mind to go to Richmond, and was dealt
with accordingly. Dudley Lee, the
other accomplice, regrets to leave Roa-
noke, and still has an idea that Capt.
Bcckcley will carry his case up higher
and get him out of trouble. The stay
OF execution still holds good in his case
but Colvin and Ilairston will be taken
to Richmond in few DAYS.

its author. Recently a baking powder
concern has been attempting by the pub
LEGATION Of cooked-up interviews ana
blackguard advertisements to injure the
reputation Of the baking powder lest
known and most used in this community.
This has brought out a letter from Pro
lessor Rising Of the California State Uni
YerSlty and Analyst of the State Board OF
Health, in which he says:
Il wrote the report of the committee OF
the Mechanics Fair ON baking powders
two years ago, awarding the medal to the
Royal Baking Powder Company for the
purity and care in the preparation of their
baking powder. This report was made
out after careful chemical analysis on NV
part, and expressed my views at the
time, and / have had no occasion to
Royal Baking Powder since. Please re-
fer to that report.'
The report to which Professor Rising
refers is as follows:
'Y our committee have made a very
| careful examination of the ROYAL Baking
Powder, and are satisfied that it fulhlls
all the requirements which the puhlic
can make of baking powder For
purity and care in preparation it equals
