adopted, after long wrangle, by I'M
animous consent, the silver men agree
ing to 1T as the best solution of tho
question. If the programme here out
lined is carried out it will mako it
impossible to pass that bill second

Sketches of tho Members of II Prominent
New Real Estate Firm.
The new real estate firm of Ludwig &
Jamison is going to at once take a prom
inent rank among the live operators of
Roanoke and Southwest Virginia. 1t
has secured fine quarters on the ground
floor of the Exchange building, and
will fiji up the rooms in elegant style.
1t will not only do q general real estate
business, but will mako 4 speciality of
furnishing abstracts. The members of
tho firm are among the best known men
in this section.
L. Ii. Ludwig was born in Charlotte,
N. c., where no was educated, 26 years
ago. His family moved to Statesville,
n. c. In 1851 he entered the service of
the Southern Express Company as
messenger. When the Cleveland ad-
ministration came in, Mr.. Ludwig was
its first appointee in tho railway mail
service from North Carolina, in which
service he remained until President
Harrison wanted his place for Repub-
lican. He at once came 70 Roanoke
and entered the merchandise brokerage
business, which he followed successfully
until October, 1889. In that month he
became associated as partner with
+. b. Kemp & Co., remaining until it's
dissolution last week. He lives in a
fine residence in tho West End Boule-
ward.
Mr.. a. l.. Jamison is 81 years of age,
and is native of Frederick county. He
came to Luray, Va, in 1852, and for
three years was engaged successfully in
the implement and hardware business
in partnership with ii. V. Hudson, who
succeeded to the business Mr.. Jamison
located in Woodstock Va, in 1855, and
there conducted the largest and most
successful grain, implement and coal
business in tho county until October,
1890, when ne sold ont to ITightman,
Hisey &c Co., who are following up Mr..
Jamisons success.
Mr.. Jamison's reason for selling out
was his desire to enter larger field of
operation. He came to Roanoke and
accepted the position of general mana
ger of the Old Dominion Paper Bag
Factory, which industry he is pushing
into remarkable success. Mr.. Jamison
is a brother of Mr.. ]. V. Jamison.
treasurer and secretary of the Fidelity
Loan and Trust Company. With his
brother he also conducted banking
business at Luray.
The firm of Ludwig 6 Jamison will
be heard from early and often. To Mr..
Ludwig is almost entirely due the
credit o. securing tho glass plant,
which will shortly be erected in Roa-
noke.

IN THE HOUSE.
Payson, of Illinois, Elected Speaker Pro
Tempore-Speaker Reed has n Cold.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 1s.-[Spcciall +
Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, was elected
Speaker pro TEN. to-day in the absence
of Speaker Reed, who was confined to
his room by a severe cold. A con fer
ence was ordered on the District Of
Columbia appropriation bill. Tho In
dian appropriation bill was then taken
up and passed. The postoffice appro-
priation bill came next, and gave
Blount, of Georgia, an opportunity to
talk against the shipping bill. Simonds,
of Connecticut, and Kerr, of Iowa, ia
vored it.
Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, submitted
an argument against the shipping bill.
In some of his remarks, he touched up
on the silver question, and in response
to question by Mr.. Hopkins, of Hi
nois, as to the position of Mr.. Cleveland
upon that subject, he declared that
Grover Cleveland was deeper down in
the heart of the Democracy of the coun-
try than any other living man. 1t
might be that Clevclands views on sill
yer did not suit the Democracy. They
were the views of an individual mem
Der of the Democratic party.
He assumed that whatever Clcveland's
! position might be to-day on the question
of silver coinage, when the national
convention spoke in 1892, he would en-
dorse the principles of their platform,
whatever they might be. He did not
believe that Mr.. Cleveland would sur
render his convictions, but there were
questions of Democratic principle far
paramount to the question of free coin
age Of silver. Several other gentlemen
discussed topics entirely foreign to the
bill before the House. Without dispos-
ing of the bill, the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

SCOT & R|V IS
THE IRISH DISPUTE.
Both Factions Mixed up in the Disposition
of Funds.

LONDON, Feb. 49, [Spociall The
financial dispute between the Mccarthy
tic and Parnellitc factions of the Irish
parliamentary party is likely to be much
in evidence during the coming struggle.
The $4,000 released a month ago from
tho league funds was divided in the fol-
lowing manner: S25, 600 went to the
campaign committee and SIS, 900 passed
into the hands Of the tenants defense
league. The latter sum forms the sub
iect of the present dispute. The Nc
Carthyite idea is that tho amount is out
of proportion to the number of cvicted
tenants Lea had relieved, but the Nc
CarthyitcS are inclined to waive this
point
They contend, however, that instead
of being devoted to evicted tenants it
was used to meet an Overdraft on the
IIibernian bank. Thomas p. Gill's
letter to Mccarthy, referring to this
matter, rather evades the point OF issue
by declaring that when he signed the
release. Mccarthy must have known
that the fund set apart for cvictcd
tenants was heavily ovcrdrawn. Jas.
| L. Zavicr'S, O'Bricn's and J. J. Clanccv's
| checks were dishonored, though it is
evident that Mccarthy left Boulognc,
believing that the money was devoted to
the relief of tenants only
The proof that O'Bricn gave his sane
ton to meeting the ovcrdrafts is
found in Timothy lIarrington's state
mcnt last night that he had documents
proving that the money had been
disposed of in the manner promised by
O'lirien. The question arises whether
there was some misconception at Bou-
| loguc or whether O'Brien came to the
| conclusion that he was acting within
| the lines of the agreement by adjust
ing tho bank account.

WASHINGTON, Feb. is Special =
The copyright bill having been taken
up as unfinished business, Mr. Platt
yielded to the request of Mr.. Davis to
allow somo pension bills on tho calen-
dar to be passed. Some dozen pension
bills were taken from the calendar and
passed, including bill increasing the
pension of the widow of Gen. Custer to
500 per month.
The copyright bill having again been
taken up. a vote was taken on Mr.. Sher-
mans amendment to admit copyrighted
books, etc, printed in foreign countries
on payment of tariff duties. The
amendment was agreed to-yeas 80,
nays "a. Thereupon Mr.. Frye renewed
his amendment requiring charts, photo
graphs, ETC., to be printed on plates exc
cuted in the United States. The amend
ment was agreed to-yeas Al, nays pa.
MIR. Daniel suggested an amendment
TO section three, which required a
printed copy of the title of copy
rlShted book, etc, to be sent to the
librarian of Congress on or before the
day Of publication in this or any for
eign country. The suggestion was to
make the section read within six
months after the day of publication. :"
He offered an amendment embodying
his suggestion. After debate it was de-
feated; yeas Il, nays 81.
MIR. Daniel then moved to amend Sec
ton three by striking out all OF the pro-
visions. Roman cmperors wcrc said, he
remarked, to have sometimes Toasted on
pcacocks' brains. The bill. as it stood.
would enable certain traders (chicfy
bookmakcrs) to feast on much richer
diet-the brains of authors; and his
amendment was for the purpose of
making the bill pure copyright bill
In conclusion, he characterized the bill
as com bination to butcher authors
and to butcher people in order to make
holiday for publishers. The amend
ment was disagreed to; yeas II, nays 81.
Finally vote was taken on the pass
age of the bill and the bill was passed,
yeas 36, nays II.
a conference was asked on disagree
ing votes of tho two Houses, and Platt,
Hiscock and Gray were appointed CON
ferees on the part of the Senate. Third
section OF the bill, in which the most i'm
portant changes have been made, re-
quires printed copy of the title of a
copyrighted book, map, &c, to be mailed
or delivered to the librarian of Con-
gress on or before the day of publica-
ton.
The Senate bill for the erection of a
new custom house in the city of New
York was taken from the calendar and
passed. The Senate then took up the
substitute for the House bill to provide
for the adjudication and payment of
claims arising from Indian depredations.
1t was at once evident that there was Il
wide difference of opinion as to the
amount of money that would need to be
appropriated, tho difference ranging
from five millions to sixty millions.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to strike out sec
ton of the substitute, which prohibits
the allowance of any claim made by the
Indians on the testimony of any witness
of the Indian race.
The vote on Mr.. Edmunds motion to
amend, disclosed tho lack of n quorum,
motion to adjourn was defeated, and
then a recess was taken to enable the

THE CHAIN GANG.

There never was u finer example Of
the quick, ollband action of Roanokcrs
than when curbstone crowd raised
twenty-five dollar pool in five minutes
yesterday to release two unfortunate
white boys from the disgrace of the
chain gang.
1t speaks we'll for tho human sympa-
thy which wells up when striking mis-
fortune is visible.
But is not the whole chain gang sys-
tenn barbarous ? Is it not lesson of
evil and degradation thrust before the
eyes of innocent young people who
should be kept innocent?
Crime should be punished and sin
made to suffer for the protection of So
ciety. But when the crime is ono of
purely legal construction, when it is
crime which the best citizens Of Roanoke
commit daily, the criminal ought not to
be Inundated by punishment calcu-
lated to degrade his manhood. The OK
ecution OF justice becomes thon almost
crime itself.
But the fault is in the law, not in the
officer who has sworn to execute the
law. Isn't Roanoke sufficion fly ad
vanced to seriously consider tho advisa
bility of abolishing the chain-gang as q
STRENGTHENING force?

On the Farm.

Practical economy can be best
demonstrated in Prowers, or any
other county, at this season of the
year by selling enough product at
any price, Gfmoney cannot be got
ten any other way to enable the
farmer to build his house so that
it will keep his wife and children
warm. To erect barn in which
he can store his grain, his pillow,
cultivator, mower, binder, wagon,
and the many tools that winters
exposure will knock half the value
ont of. To build stable that is
warm enough to make his teams
comfortable; these will do bet
ter on half the feed in such place
than on double rations outside. To
put up a corral with shedding on the
north and east sides, so that his cat
tie will be worth more in the spring.
To dig dug out SO his root crops,
cabbage, pumpkins, etc, will be of
some use to him next spring. Now
we know a majority of our farmers
who have not got these things fixed
up, will say its very easy for those
newspaper fellows to talk, but l
should like them do it themselves.

The probabilities now are that
James Brennan, the slayer of Col
onel Sam Wood, will never be
brought to trial for the murder.
All of the men in Stevens county,
Kansas, where the crime was
committed, who were subject to
jury duty, have been brought into
court and examined, and only ten
were found who were acceptable.
The case had to be continued in
consequence. 1t is not probable
that the state will try to get
another Jury, as it has been shown
to be impossible. A change of
venue can not be taken by the
state in such cases, and after three
terms have gone by without trial,
the prisoner will be entitled to his
