81 100000, have voted liberal sums
for now industries. A wooden
mill (nearly completely that will
manufacture it's goods into clothing,
will employ large number of females
The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail-
way center, and hasten it's growth into
a large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Che proximity of the great Flat Top
coal fields, the cheapness of the famous
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan-
tageous point for manufactures
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud OF
Its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
OF Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record of progress for the last twelve
menths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lished on solid industrial basis.
The property of the Salem Improve
ment Company adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
erty, 1t will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamized at cost of 50, 900, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
At the foot of this avenue stands the
fine new stone passenger station of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and
on it the Hotel Salem, costing $685.
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is under roof, the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-5O by
80 feet, three stories-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and number OF large
business houses have been built and
others are in course of erection.
This avenue is sure to become one
of the finest business thoroughfares
in Virginia.
Persons Interested in locating plants
or in making investments in Virginia
should not fail to visit Salem. A
pamphlet of 80 pages, map and
further information will be furnished
by j. w. ALLEMONG, President,

NO WINE CONSUMED.
Emphatic Denials From Members Of the
Hearst Funeral Party.

WAsulNGToN. March 2S.-The Congress
sional Committee which accompanied Sen
ator Hearst's remains TO California re
turned TO Washington last evening.
Sergeantat- Arms Valentine, OF the Sen
ate. denies In the most positive manner the
published stories of disorder and disgrace
fnl conduct on board the funeral train, IN
which he IS corroborrted emphatically by
Senator Faulkner and Representative Nc
Comas. of Maryland. The latter IS tenn
Derance man, and said that nothing oc-
Cured on the trip TO give rise to such
scandalous stories
Mr. Valentine admits that wine was on
the train on the return trip, but IT was
what individual members OF the party had
purchased or been presented with, and the
cases were brought 10 Washington un-
opened. Senator Faulkner said: "Ihe
trip was marked by the utmost decorum.
Every member of the party was seen daily
bv Mrs. Hearst, who repeatedly expressed
her appreciation of our thoughtfullness IN
seeking her comfort and welfare When
we arrived in San Francisco on Thursday,
we found that the State authorities had
taken charge of the funeral arrangements,
fixing the time for the ceremonies at
O'Clock on the following Sunday. We i'm
mediatelv held meeting, and unanimously
resolved that we would not accept any in
vita,ions in our official capacity, as com
mittee. until after the funeral had oc'
CURED.

WEST VIRGINIANS
DEPENDED IN TIE SUPREME COURT BY
SENATOR KBNNA,
Assisted By Senator Faulknsr-A Celebrated
Case From Texas, In Which Two Former
Citizens Are Condemned For Murder.
The Important QleshOns Involved.

Special telegram 20 the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Kenna
has been devoting most of his time since
the adjournment of Congress to the prepa-
ration of his brief and argument in the cases
pending in the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, brought up from Texas, in
which Robert +. Boutwell, and John c..
Ball were condemned to death for the mur-
der of William T. Box, in the Indian Ter
ritory Boutwell, and Ball are former West
Virginians, and lived in the county of
Boone They went TO Texas some years
ago. and in 1889 were indicted in the Uni
ted States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas for this
alleged murder They were tried before
Judge Boarman, who had been assigned TO
that court from a Louisiana district, and
who il will be remembered narrowly es-
capped impeachment by the late Congress.
The cases involve number OF interesting
and important questions, including the
validity of the assignment of Judge Boar
man TO hold the court. The counsel who
conducted the case at the trial for Bout
well and Ball arraigned the proceedings IN
such a manner as 10 make issue with every
stage of the case, the jurisdiction of the
court, validity of the indictment, number
of points arising upon the testimony, the
suficiency and validity of the iudgment,the
form as well as the substance OF the SEN
tence, and in fact nearly every detail OF the
important and protracted trial will come
in review before the Supreme Court. Mr.
Kenna said to-day: ~ have been much
interested in the case, as, Of course, any
LAWYER would be in such case, and never
saw record so painfully loose, bungllng
and inefficient. The local attorneys who
tried the case in Texas seem to have done
all that was possible, but how any Judge
could permit or make such record | can
not understand"
"Will the case be reversedt'
Il cannot doubt that the case will be re-
versed,n said Mr. Kenna, although law
yers usually feel delicacy in forestalling
the action of the Court, but this case may
have TO be remanded in the present state
of the record for final Judgment Mr..
Faulkner is associated with me in the case
here and will take hold of il Immediately.
We are employed by constituents in West
Virginia who are related 10 the condemned
men. In my absence Mr.. Faulkner
looked after the preliminary matters
in the Supreme Court and in
his absence have run through the author
tiles so that when we get together think
we can be ready at any day to present the
case TO the Court. II win probably be dis
posed of on the first MOndayin April, and
although "a number of questions are in
volved. l think the argument will not neces-
sarilV be long

His Adherents Assist Him In Getting
Hearing-A Lively Row.

DUBLIN. March 2S.-Mr. Parnell made
triumphal entry into Sligo to-day. He was
escorted by fifty carloads OF supporters

ers afterwards made counter display
Three hundred police and squadron %

collision between the opposing factions.

The struggle which took place on the ST.
of the town hall, in which Mr.. Parneh
claimed to have been assaulted,
was contest between two fac
tions for possession Of the hall.
Each side fought fiercely. but the Parnell-
ties. being assisted by the police, finally
overcame their opponents and VIGOROUSLY
entered the building. When his friends
succeeding in getting inside the building,
Mr.. Parnell made a speech in which he
described a cowardly attack which had
been made on him by townsman named
McHugh, who, Mr.. Parnel claimed, had
threatened TO "swab the streets with his
body The remainder Of the speech was
mass of vituperation OF the seceders
from his ranks
On returning to his hotel Mr. Parnell
made an attempt 10 deliver speech from
one of the windows. but was compelled 10
desist. owing 10 the hooting and yelling OF
"A body Of McCarthyites, who drowned the
speakers voice.
Mr.. Davitt received different reception
TO that accorded Mr. Parneli. being wei
coined to the town with the utmost enthus
iasm. Mr. Davitt was not feeling well
and only responded briefly to the greeting
Of his friends. He denounced the dictator

SAME OLD GAME.
Capt. w. +. Dowen of Fayetteville, Ark .
Robbed of $4,000.

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK, March 2S.-Capt.
w. f. Dowell, one of the leading farmers
and State treasurer of the Farmers AL
lance of Arkansas, was robbed OF 5000
this morning by three sharpers. TWO OF
them have been here ten days. and repre-
sented themselves as DR. Howard and
Judge Baker, from Springfield, Mo. They
entered into negotiations for Capt. Dow
ellis fine farm, three miles from the city,
and closed the trade this morning for
s.. 900. They wanted the farm for DIR.
Howard's sister, whom they represented
as being in the city
After closing the trade they started to
the city, and on the way met man with
valise. with whom they engaged in conver-
sation. He had a game of cards, at which
he told them he had lost 500 while in town.
DR. Howard commenced betting small
sums. and won about $50 The stranger
then offered to bet 5000 and put up the
money. DR.. Howard did not have that
amount. but his father-in-law at Spring
field was worth $4,000 and his sister had
only $1,000 with her. He asked Capt.
Dowell TO 90 in with him and put up the
other X. 600. but Dowell told him he did
not bet He then asked Dowell to let him
have 5000, which Dowell told him he
would do If he would come to town. Judge
Baker and the man with the valise re-
mained bv the roadside, while Capt Dow
ell and DR. Howard came to town and got
the money.
When they returned Dr.. Howard put
s9 600 in Judge Bakers lap, and Capt.
Doveu did the same. Baker commenced
counting the money, but the stranger
Grabbed the whole pile, jumped into the
hack. and drew pistol as though he was
Going TO shoot. The lash was put TO the
horses. and when Capt. Dowel urged
Howard to not let the rnscal get away
with their money that way the latter eX.
nressed great fear, and said they would all
be killed.
The man with the valise escaped and the
other two men went home with Capt. Dow
ell and got dinner. DR.. Howard cried about
their great misfortune, but did not want 1t
mentioned. as he was strict member Of the
church. of which Capt Dowell is also mem
Der. and his father-in-law being very
wealthy. he could not afford to have II
known. He said he would take the evening
train for Springfield and return Saturday
and pay Capt Dowell every dollar.
They came to town and were just ready
TO start TO the train when Capt. Dowell
came in. They supposed he was after them
and broke and run, but were soon overtak-
en- by officers and are now IN jail. They
acknowledge that the man with the vallse
was a partner, and the remarkable thing is
that Capt. Dowell had all along regarded
Them as fellow sufferers, so well did they
act their parts
1t is supposed that the man with a vallse
took the 1 o'clock train, but nothing has
been heard of him as yet.
