RAILROADS AND The PUBLIC.


The Subject Discussed by the Commercial
Association.
The meeting at the Commercial Asso-
citation last night was the largest at
tended of the series.
The subject discussed was railroad
corporations and their relation to the
public, and the matter was discussed at
considerable length by various speakers.
The entire train of argument was to
the effect that the features which have,
in the past, existed against criticism of
railroad homogeneous have, of late
years, been disappearing with great
rapidity, and that the railroad corpora
tions OF to-day are The largest bene-
factors of mutual development and
great factors in the promotion and dis
tribution of wealth.
Addresses were made by Messrs.
Pope, Pechin, Nicholson and Parsons
On next Tuesday evening the "Colnfy
Roads Around Roanoke" will be dis
cussed by Capt. NJ. NJ. Rogers. Special
invitations will be sent to the county
supervisors and overseers of highways
TO attend.
There will be no meeting on the eve
ming of Tuesday, November 8, that be-
ing election night, but on Tuesday, No
vember 10, carefully prepared address
will be read by prominent lawyer, we'll
known throughout Southwest Virginia,
on the subject of Model City
Charter"

TWO REVEALS.
The Services at Calvary Con-
tinued-At ST. James.

The Calvary Baptist Tabernacle was
crowded again last night. The revival
is still in progress and the interest con-
tinues undated.
Mr.. Elsom took for his text the 1st
verse of the Goth chapter OF Proverbs:
"Ho that being often reproved, harden
eth his neck. shall be suddenly cut off,
and that without remedy"
Mr.. Elsom spoke of tho application of
the text to everybody. Not one was
excepted. This was the most awful
text in the Bible, and no one could
escape its application. Every person
in his life had at some time been re-
proved for his sins. He gavo q graphic
account of how Jonah was reproved
when God told him to go and preach to
the people of Nineveh.
The sermon throughout was replete
with warnings to the unconyerted. He
spoke of the danger of delay, and how
men had been cut off when they least
expected it and had been dashed into
eternity unprepared to stand in the pre-
sence Of an all-wiso God. -e
At the close of the sermon there were
many who stood up for the prayers of
the church, and several came forward
and made professions of faith.
Mr.. Elsom gave notice that he would
preach sermon tonight especially to
men. Tao ladies could come out also If
they so desired. He would say nothing
at which they could take offence. He
will preach a sermon on Friday night on
the "Backslider." A7
The revival services which began on
Sunday night at st. James Methodist
Church, are growing in interest and are
fairly we'll attended. Rev. w. +. Ham
ner, pastor of Greene Memorial,
preached last night from Psalms, Goth
chapter and 9Th verse, SIN the; Temple
OF Our God We Will Set up Our Ban
ners."
The sermon was listened to with
eager interest by tho entiro congrega-
ton, and at the close when the call to
the unconverted was made several came
forward to the altar J
The services will continue every
night this week. Rev. Mr.. Dey will
preach tonight. ~

CAMPBELL IN CINCINNATI.
He Was Enthusiastically Received by a
Large Audience. p

ho WIS Enthusiasticaily Received by n
Large Audience. -
WASHINGTON, Oct, 20.-TSpeciall-
The Post this morning says: The Gin
cinnati meeting of Governor Campbell
has been looked forward to with great
interest. 1t was expected to show the
feeling OF the Cincinnati and Hamilton
county Democrats toward the Governor,
and II there is anything in numbers and
noiso the meeting can BIO pronounced q
success. The large Music Hall was
packed to suffocation last night, and it
was 10 O'Clock before the clubs had
finished parading, reached the stage,
and tho meeting actually begun. The
democratic managers claim that this is
largest political meeting in the history
of Cincinnati. This may be somewhat
exaggerated, but 1t is certain that it
was the largest meeting of tho cam
paign, and the Republican managers
Will now go to work to make an effort to
QUITO it.
Clubs were present from Columbus,
Dayton, Lima, Middletown, Hamilton.
Loveland and other surrounding towns
and cities 1t was 10 o'clock when Hon.
w. 5. GroSebeck, the chairman of the
meeting. was introduced.
The first speaker was Judge Crisp, of
Georgia. While he was speaking the
governor was escorted to the outside of
the hall, where he addressed an over
flow meeting of 6,O00 or 1000 people.
His speech was in q happy vein, but bo
didn't attempt to discuss any of the ia.
sues OF the campaign.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage wero Senator Calvin S. Brice
aud other Democrats OF State and ma
tional reputation. Quito sensation
was caused by the appearance on the
stage of a number of those Democrats
who signed the protest against the re-
nomination of Governor Campbell. This
means that the Democrats are using the
party lash to some effect in this county,
and the Republicans will take warming
and not depend too much on Democratic
detection.
When Governor Campbell was intro
duced later to the audience in the hall
the cheering was deafening, and it was
kept up for fully five minutes. When
he was permitted to speak tho governor
said: THE speech which you have lust
made TO me is the most eloquent one
have ever heard, because it speaks with
10000 tongues of the Democrats in Ohio
In which Hamilton county will lead the
procession. Where. am moved to in
quire, is that $4,000 Republican major.
ity to come from?
The Governor then proceeded to dis
cuss State issues and replied to the
charges that he had not defended his
administration in any of the speeches
he has made during the campaign. Tho
Governor closed his speech at midnight,
expressing confidence in the outcome of
the great battle which will occur on
tho Sd of November next.

SANK SMALL OUT ON BAIL.
APecuiiar Renl Estate Transaction Which
He Is Asked TO Explain.


BosroN, Oct. 2O.-Sam Small, the
evangelist, and tho Prohibitionists i'm
ported orator in tho Massachusetts
campaign, is in trouble. He has been
arrested, and is now out on bail fur
nished by the Prohibition State COM
mittee. His arrest took place last
week, but the Prohibltionists kept the
matter hushed up, and it was not known
until to-day.
Rev. H. v. Monroe, rector of Sc.
Mary's Episcopal Church, OF Newton
Lower Falls, has caused his arrest on q
suit to recover $1,000 invested at Rev.
Sans instigation in lots, corner or
otherwise, in Ogden, Utah--lots which
the Rev. Sam alleged were first-class
investments.
He thinks there Is snake in the
grass somewhere, and will bring Small
into court. In tho meantime Small is
occupying tho position of the leader of
the Prohibitionists upon the stump,
being kept out of jail by means OF the
So, 600 bail furnished by them.
In conversation with reporter Mr..
Small was not inclined to enter into the
details of the transaction on which his
arrest was based, but affirmed that he
was not guilty of any wrong doing, and
there was nothing on his heart that
would not bear investigation in any
court. The action against Mr.. Small is
not of criminal character, but is a civil
suit

R G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
1t cannot be said that the business OF the
country Is expanding when there is a de-
crease OF nearly one-SiXth within a single
month In the output OF pig-iron. In nearly
all quarters the admitted slackening of
trade Is attributed to merely temporary
causes, but the state of the iron trade cam
not be thus explained. and while it may at
any time change for the better 1t IS at pres
ant an unfavorable symptom. Another ele
ment which may prove of great though tenn
porary Importance is the decision of Il great
body Ut miners to strike May l for eight
hours Il day. The Eastern coal trade Is
very irregular, buyers wa iting the effects
of the Coke interstate decision. Other in
dustrics show no material change. though
the wool market is more dull. Reports from
the various ccntcrs of trade re atont the
same as last week, but recognize tempo rary
Slarkcnmg even more generally. while 1t Is
attributed mainly to bad weather and the
state OF country roads. Pittsburg reports
lower prices for iron products. but
glass is sustained wit h improving trade.
AT Cleveland general trads is fairly active.

chinery IS very brisk. but other trades only
