in the wholesale beer and liquor trade
in this city. They started here nine
years ago, in the days OF Big Lick, with
a small capital. All their money,
brought from outside of Roanoke, has
boon invested here, until now they rep
resent u capital OF Sl25, 900. They are
now employing directly OF indirectly
from 20 TO 40 mon and have paid out in
Roanoke city within the past 80 days in
cash the sum of S22, 900.
E In conclusion we say it is not true
that we or the companies we represent
desire war Of determination 30 far as
the Virginia Brewing Company is con-
cerned. We want fair and honest treat
mont and mean to have it, even if it be
necessary to wage - war Of extermina-
ton"
We make and sell far better beer than
is made by tho Virginia Brewing. Com
pany and challenge that company to a
test
We will wager from $1,000 to SIS, 600
that our beers are better as to quality,
strength, purity or keeping properties
than that now being made by tho Vir-
ginia Brewing Company.
We are willing to fix any prico upon
tho beers sold by us that the Virginia
pio"ihB ION panY may say lS right and
proper, and put up forfeit in any
bank in Roanoke Of from IS, 900 to $40, 900
cash, provided the Virginia Brewing
Company will sell its beer at the same
price and put up like forfeit, for we
cannot and will not accept the word Of
its present manager.
We arc prepared to prove any of the
allegations Of faot herein contained be-
fore any committee OF reputable bust
ness mon.

We learn by the catalogue before us
that the last session of the Southwest

this school is climbing up. Many won

HOME FOR AGED GERMANS.
An Organization Effected Yesterday by the
Board of Directors

An Organization Effected Yesterday by the
Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors of the German
Protestant Home for the Aged met yester-
day and effected an organization. This new
institution was brought into existence
through the efforts of Rev. F. Ruoff. When
Mr.. Ruoff had instituted the German
Protestant Orphans Home, in West Liberty,
he found that there were a number of aged
people, not exactly poor, but without rela-
tives and in need of home where they
could get proper attention. He went to
work and in six months raised $4,000 for
home for the aged. A tract of five acres
with suitable buildings, was found at Fair
Oaks, on the Ft Wayne Railroad, and was
purchased for IS, S,Oc0. 1t is between Sewickley
and Economy and is 161a miles from Pitts
burg. The place was taken possession
Of at once, and number of aged people
are now located there. In the meantime
q charter was applied for and granted.
Neeb, John Dimling and Matt Weiss are
named life directors. In addition to these
the German Evangelical Protestant congre-
cations of the two cities elected as directors
Louis Beinhauer, Mrs. John P. Ober, Mrs.
Helena Hamm, Reinhard Dipper Mrs. Emile
Spohn, C. T. Venter, Miss Margaret Straub,
Antin Hoffman,, ,Trangott Obenauf, Ludwig
kredel, Adam Herchenroeder and William
Eberhardt.
The board met yesterday afternoon and
organized by electing the following officers:
Honorary President, Fred Gwinner; Presf-
dent, Rev. Fr. 2uctf; First Vice President,
Mrs John P. Ober; Second Vice President
Mrs Emile Spohn; Third Vice President,
Mrs Hele-il Hamm; Recording Secretary,
John n. Neeb; Financial Secretary, Miss Mar
garet straub; Treasurer, Louis Beinhauer.
The board will meet at 8 P. M. on the first
Thursday of each month in the office of Rev.
Mr.. Ruoff.

SIGNED NEW ARTICLES.
Hall and Fitzsimmons Adopt a New Agree.
ment for Their Proposed Battle.

ment for Their Proposed Battle.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Messrs. Frank U. Shaw
and T. z. Cowles of st. Paul, made their ap-
pearance in Chicago to-day, having spent
the forenoon at Beloit where Jim Hall is in
active traininp for his finish fight with Bob
Fitzsimmons, the night of July D, the open
ing day of the Twin City Jockey Club.
The purpose of Messrs. Shaw and Cowles
in visiting Beloit was to secure the signatures
ofJim Hall and Parson Davies to an entirely
new draft of the articles of agreement. The
original articles stipulated that Frank Shaw
should give a purse of $l2, ,000 of which the
winner should have SlI 600 and the loser
1000. Shaw to have the privilege of NAM
ing either st. Paul or Minneapolis as the city
in which the contest should take place,
while Fitzsimmor and Hall reserved the
right to choose q referee Then came the
incorporation of the Minnesota Athletic
Club, with capital of $50, 900 and having in
its list of incorporators and officers some of
the leading business men of St. Paul, among
them Mr.. Shaw himself, who was most act
i've in promoting the enterprise.
1t was his original intention to turn over
the Hall-Fitzsimmons contest to the new
club, and this has accordingly been done.
New articles were drawn in st. Paul and
signed by T. z. Cowles as President and
John f. Baker Secretary, of the Minnesota
Athletic Club, and last Wednesday Fitzsim-
mons affixed his signature, his trainer Jim
Carroll, also signing as witness. Hall and
Davies signed it to-day, and the now articles
are therefore complete and binding upon
all parties. In addition to transferring the
contest to the Jurisdiction of the Minnesota
Athletic Club, the new articles embody the
very important provision that the club and
not the contestants shall select the referee.
In this way the club becomes wholly re-
sponsible for the conduct of the fight, and it
is enabled absolutely to insure a battle to
the bitter end and on its merits.
A temporary amphitheater is already in
course of construction in a central location
in st. Paul, provided with private boxes,
reserved seats and flrst-class accommoda-
tions generally. 1t will comfortably seat
1000 people, and from the bookings already
made it is evident the capacity will be fully
tested.

CAUGHT UNDER THE WHEELS.
Alfred Roosevelt, the Millionaire Banker,
Probably Fatally Injured.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
NEW YORK, July 2.-Alfred Roosevelt, the
millionaire banker of Wall street. and son of
the late William C. Roosevelt, founder OF
the Roosevelt Hospital in this city, at
tempted to board the s:35 train for New
York at Mamaroneck to-day. He succeeded
in reaching the platform, but lost mold of
the iron rod which he had seized with one
hand. The train had already acquired a
quick motion, and Mr.. Roosevelt was
thrown violently against one of the abut-
ments of the iron bridge, with his right leg
under the car wheels.
Two cars passed over him, and when he
was picked up it was found that the leg,
midway between the ankle and the knee,
was held together only by the skin. Blood
was issuing from a scalp wound, where his
head had struck the bridge, and he was also
suffering from internal injuries. Dr. McBur-
ney, the attendant surgeon of the Roosevelt
Hospital, was telegraphed for, and arrived
about noon. At late hour tonight the in
lured mans condition WIS so critical that
DR.. McBurney decided not to leave him
during the night.

LADIES DRIVEN OUT.
Friends Of Miss Couzins Applaud an
Attorneys Speech, and
RAISE THE WRATH OF THE COURT.
They Are Elected From the Room in an
Unceremonious Fashion.
THE CASE NOW UNDER AMUSEMENT

CHICAGO, July 2.-The climax in the suit of
Phoebe Couzins to retain the Secretaryship
of the Board of Lady Managers OF the
Worlds Fair was reached this afternoon in
Judge Blodgett's court. The case had been
on nearing all day, and Colonel Robert Rae,
attorney for Miss Couzins, was just closing
an eloquent appeal on behalf of his client.
He pictured Miss Couzins' honorable career
and the positions of distinction she had
filled. He referred to her aged mother, who
was present, as a woman who had risked her
life in defense of the Union during the war,
and wound up by saying, in voice pitched
to the highest key, "Let justice be done
though the heavens fall"
This was too much for Miss CoUzins' lady
friends, Il half dozen of whom had sat
spellbound by the eloquence of the counsel.
In front of Colonel Rae sat DR.. Augusta KIM
ball, lady physician and a woman suf-
fragist of some repute, who had been taking
the attorneys sat Miss Couzins' mother with
Miss Bulline, the deposed Secretary's
amanuensis; DR.. Lucy Waite, daughter of ex-
Judge waite, and several other ladies'. No
all the Indies began to applaud with their
hands. The hand-clapping made great
noise in the almost empty courtroom. 1t
was interrupted in an instant by Judge
BlOdgett who grew red in the face and said
Sternly:
"Stop it! Stop itr' This is no town meet
ing. Mr.. Marshal, clear the ROOM"
Deputy Marshal George Jones baStened
from his seat and advanced toward the now
very quiet women. He walked boldly up to
the row of ladies, and, waving his hand to-
ward the door of the court room, said with
great force, "Get out get out" The ladies
rose even to Miss Couzins aged mother.
Ex-Judge Waite was on his feet in an in
stant. "Your Honor" he said in panied sur
prise at the Courts action, "you can see that
the applause was only the impulse of a mo-
ment.">
cit doesn't matter Judge Waite" replied
the Court, now thoroughly angered, 'let
those people leave the room"
The people" filed out, looking rather
abashed. They were thoroughly frightened,
but not so much so as to prevent q little
meeting in the corridor. They claimed they
were not used to courtroom etiquette.
None of them returned to face Judge Blod-
gett, however.
Previous of this dramatic little episode
the arguments were made. Edwin Walker,
for the Worlds Fair Directory and Board of
Control, argued that Miss Couzins never
held an office, but was subject to the same
rules that governed the other employees,
such as typewriters and stenographers.
Colonel Rae and ex-Judge Waite made elo-
quent pleas for Miss CouZins and some
strong authorities were presented in sup
port of their case, notably a decision of
Philadelphia court in a suit of similar nat
ure, began during the Centennial Exposi-
ton, in which the court sided with the de-
posed official Judge Blodgett took the case
under advisement.
