Daniel Will Not Be Tried Until
the May Term of Court.

The case of Edward Daniel, charged
with the murder of Thomas G.. Massie.
was called in tho Hastings Court yester-
day morning at 1890 o'clock.
Tho witnesses for the commonwealth
were called. There was a long list of
them, but several were absent The
court room was pretty we'll filed.
The commonwealth attorney said he
was not ready for trial, but asked that
the prisoner be arraigned.
Mr.. BcIkley as counsel for tho nr;s-
oner, objected to tho arrairnment.
Judge Robinson said it was in accord
ance with the law, and ordered tho
prisoner to be brought in.
sergeant Traynham was not LONG in
unlocking the massive doors and Ed
ward Daniel was placed beside his coun-
sci before the bar Of Justice. He looked
none tho worse for his close c,nf;no.
ment. IL there was any difference in
his appearance since he was arrested it
was for the better.
The court asked Mr.. Berkeley if he
was ready to go into the case.
~ 10 not know whether am or not, ="
The witnesses for the defense were
then called. They were nearly all
strange names. And but two or three
answered. Then Mr.. Berkeley said he
was not ready for trial.
Mr. Smith again asked that the pris-
oner be arraigned. Mr.. Berkeley OF.
Jecteo the second time but the obi ctions
were overruled by the court.
ne prisoner was told to stand I'D and
the clerk read the Indictment in n clear
tone. Daniel looked directly at him.
I nut over and anon his eyes would drop
There appeared to be an effort on his
part TO look unconcerned, but when the
clerk read over those portions of the in
dictment charging him with almost
every muscular movement in the assault
upon Mr.. Massic, the prisoner WINGED
ana opened his eyes in apparent alarm.
How say you? Are you guilty or
not guilty?' said the clerk.
No, sir; I'm not guilty." said the
prisoner and he sat down.
The commonwealth moved to continue
the case, and 1t was set for tho 18th of
May.

THAT PRIVATE DEFECTIVE
Didn't Get His Man, But Had to Shell Out
Hard Cash for His Work.

Didn't Get His Man, But Had to Shell Out
Hard Cash for His Work.
The Worlds private detective got
more glory than gold out of his sharp
work and not much of either. The
World announced in black type that the
so called detective had located Watkins
and would soon leave the city to capture
him: This enterprising sheet has not
yet informed the public as to tho result
and is keeping the dear people in sus-
pense.
The detective did leave tho city. A
negro was lodged in Campbell county
Jail on information, the source of which
is still unknown. When the Worlds de-
tective arrived he found that the negro
was not Watkins and did not resemb Bile
him in the slightest degree.
The detective was out his travelling
expenses and considerable assessment
to keep the negro from instituting pro-
ceedings to recover damages for false
Imprisonment.

Hon. Henry S. Trout, president of the
Roanoke and Southern railroad, re-
turned from the grand jubilee at Mar
tinsville yesterday afternoon. He was
seen by TIMES reporter last hight, and
said that Martinsville did itself proud in
the celebration of the completion of the
road to that place.
"We had a great time" said Mr..
Trout, land Martinsville. as we'll as all
tho towns along the road, seems to have
a bright outlook. Regular trains will
now run between Martinsville and
Winston, distance of sixty miles. The
passenger train leaves Winston in the
morning and returns in the evening.
1.-THE freight traffic he's been very
sati factory, making an increase of ssthe
rolling stock necessary. Large quaint
ties Of tobacco have been shipped over
the road and Jhcre are large number
OF saw mills all along the line. There
is manufacturing plant of some kind
for every $50 people on the road be-
tween Winston and Martinsville.
Tho work is being pushed forward
as rapidly as pc 'sible. about twenty
miles being graded this side of Mar
tinsville. Track laying will continue
from the other end and will be COM
menced at this end very soon. General
Gill, who is anxious to have the work
pushed forward, hopes to sec trains
running to Roanoke by tho first of
October. There is no doubt that the
road will be completed to Roanoke by
next January, The present outlook for
the road is encouraging.
There was no formal meeting of the
board OF directors, and no definite action
has been taken in reference to the pro-
posed change of route. The middle sur
vey, which leaves Rocky Mount,
present line again at Maggotty. Creek
This is direct line and is about four
miles shorter than the Rocky Mount
route, besides it strikes more valuable
mineral properties than either of the
other surveys.
The recent decision of tho court of
appeals of Virginia in reference to the
right of a railroad to approach house
seems to have had something to do with
the trouble In some insta uces it will
cost $4,000 to go around houses; when
if the houses could be condemned the
cost would be only $4,000 The right of
way agent is now at Rocky Mount, and
an effort is to be made to effect a COM
promise in reference to the right of way.
Mr.. Trout responded to the toast to
the Roanoke and Southern and its con-
struction company, and e. II. Stewart
to the toast Railroad corporations with
souls.
Mr.. Stewart will return homo to-mor-
row. When asked about the report that
branch is to be built from Walnut
Cove to Danbury to reach the extensive
iron ore of Stokes county, N. c., MIR.
Trout said that it will be the policy of
the road to build branches wherever
they can be made valuable feeders,
and he thought the Danbury branch
would be built and the iron works
erected in Winston, as reported in to-
days TINES from its Winston cores
pOndent.

knowledged the duty of delivering tho
guilty parties over TO Justice and had
acknowledged the further duty of in
Identifying the families of victims who
were Italian subjects.
Italy could not admit that the United
States government had no responsibility
for acts committed within the iurisdic-

OF the present complication was, in his
opinion. one which Interested not only

In conclusion Rudini gave expression
to the hope that Notwithstanding tho
occurrence OF some Incidents which
were greatly to be regretted in the con-
troversy between Italy and America,
means of reconciliation honorable to
both countries would be found. The
premier's words were listened to with

MIR. KEELY ELECTED LEADER.

Tho Old Members of the Machine Works
Band VIII Return.
Prof w. X. Carr, who has been leader
of tho Roanoke Machine Works Band
for several years, has resigned. The
reason given for this step was that Mr..
Carr is unable to attend the duties of
the Office and give attention to his bust
ness affairs.
Several months ago thcre was trouble
between tho leader of the band and the
orchestra. The orchestra was composed
OF several members Of the band, who
gave more attention to the former than
the latter. Mr.. Carr raised serious OBJ
]ections, and tho orchestra withdrew
from the band.
AT one timo it was thought tho band
would be disorganized, but it went on as
usual, but with not so many members or
as much enthusiasm,
a few days ago an effort was made to
get up another band. The.norehestra
members were the chief movers, and
were getting along nicely. Several
members of the Machine Works Band
had significd their intention of becom-
ing members of the new band. Prof
Carr saw the condition of affairs and
resigned.
At the regular weekly meeting of the
band held last night John Keely was
elected to fill the vacancy.
Messrs. Leonard, Christian, McVeiph
Devon and Meals will return to the old
band. Prof Phillips and son, of At.
lantic City, were also added to the list
of membership. These gentlemen will
play the cornet and clarionette.
The membership is thus brought up
to thirty, and the band starts off this
season with bright prospects. Like
Prof. Carr, Mr.. Kelly is a first-class
musician, and thorouR hly competent to
handle the organization.
A committee was appointed to notify
Mr.. keely Of his election.

ROANOKE VA. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL II 1891
A SEWER PLAN.
City counciImen Hear About
the West System.

An informal meeting of Councilmen
was hold last evening in the Office of
Councilman j. Ii. Skinker to examine
into tho merits of tho West sewerage
system as presented by Mr.. John j.
Deery, of the National Sewerage and
Sewage Utilization Company, Of New
York.
There were present Councilman Han
thorn, Skinker, Mcconnell and Shee-
han and Bridge Engineer Boswell. The
West system as set forth by Mr.. Deery
is separate system, whereby one set
OF sewers carries off tho surface water
and another the house sewage. The
former discharges directly into the runs
ana rivers, and the second and principal
one into deep reservoir, from which
the sewage is pumped into filter beds
and reduced to solids. making ferti-
lizers.
MIR. Deery had made q cursory exami-
nation of tho topography of Roanoke
and said he was prepared to at once
make an offer to undertake tho work.
The West system is comparatively
cheap as the house sewage is conveyed
entirely through pipes which can be laid
at small cost. The pumping plant could
be enlarged as the city grew. The cost
Wouiu oe aOOuC SS,U milo Tor the hrSt
ten miles and $1,000 mile thereafter.
Mr.. Deery was closely questioned by
all present to bring out the details of
his plan. His explanations made a
favorable impression, but, as Mr..
Sheehan put it, the Council would want
to hear Mr.. Hering's plan in detail be-
fore twould take action. Mr.. Deery was
invited, however, to appear before the
council at regular meeting and Law
his proposition before it, and this he
will do, possibly Monday night; GER
tainly as soon as Mr.. Hering's plan has
been received.
Apropos of which, preliminary re-
port has been received from Mr.. Hering,
but some maps which should accompany
it are not at hand. AS it stands there
are certain discrepancies and obscure
points which it is expected will be
cleared up by the map.
Mr.. Deery is quito certain that his
company would take city bonds at par
in payment for its work, provided the
bonds were kept at par by the city.
