Two Tie Tourists Make an Acquisition
but Afterward Let Go.

Two tramps named Walter Lamar and
j. Nichols struck the town Sunday morn.
ing bound east in a freight car. They
had a gripsack between them, but that
vas not sufficient for gentlemen Of their
elegant calibre, so they appropriated one
that was in the waiting room belonging to
a stranger. Officer Jno. Nolan was notified
and found Lamar up near the Burlington
%roundhouse composedly sitting down with
the grip by his side. His partner mean
while was up town after a bottle OF
whisky to celebrate their new acquisition.
Lamar was brought down town and Mich
OILS. who is an old man, was caught
later on.
The two men were examined Yesterday
before Judge Carroll and we're bound over
in the sum OF $500 each to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. Both are now
boarding with Sheriff Kelley.
The grip belonged to J.. Gilbert, a stem
ographer of BOISE City, who was on his
way to Denver. For the most part the
grip was filled with manuscripts which
the thieves destroyed. Mr.. Gilbert est1-
mates his loss at ove 800.

WANTED 70 GET MARRIED.
An Oddly Matched Couple no TEN.
porarilv Failed 4 Get IA License.

An oddly matched couple walked into
the county clerks office yesterday alter
noon and asked for a license, as they de-
sired to become one. The lady inquired
the cost of the desired article and when
told what it would be seemed much re-
lieved. She was mrs. Krajewsky, the
widow of Julius Kraiewsky, who died
some time ago, and the prospective BRIDE
groom was a fellow who gave his name as
Jones.
The lady said her pet bad told her when
she talked of marriage that the license fee
would $50, and that he had no money,
but if she would give him the money he
would get it. The amount rather over
whelmed her, as the license at that high
she reached the office she had 81 in her
hand to pay for the license and had hoped
that it would be sufficient. Mr.. Leaning
who had been conversing with them soon
saw that they did not mean business and
stepped out the room for a few minutes
and when he returned found that Jones
had left, probably seeming arrest. His
intended bride soon followed suit, saying
she would return after the license. About
5 o'clock in they came again, the woman
having in her hand the required amount
for the license. Owing to the ~lateness OF
the hour the license was not lssned last
evening but may be today.
Jones is a rather seedy looking fellow
of about 35 years of age. AS he is withaI
suspicious looking the police are watch.

A VIEW.
City siEh4s From the Top OF a Twelve
story building.

Special Correspondence.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, July 25.-It is
a pity the editors who recently met in
convention at St. Paul were not afforded
a better opportunity to visit this wonder
full city. There are some things here
that cannot be seen in any other city.
Today your correspondent had the pleas
ure of a birds eye view of Minneapolis
from the towers Of the Guaranty Loan
building. 1t is claimed Tor this building
that it is,the best Office building in the
world. 1t Is twelve stories high, or 172
feet, and including tower 220 feet. The
building weighs 100. 900 tons, covers half
an acre, and cost 81, OOO, 900. The cost
of the glass alone was $4,000. There
are six passenger elevators, using three
miles of cables; fifteen arc and 5000 IN
candescent lights and thiity-one miles of
electric light wire. The interior is of
iron. brick, terra Gotta and finished In an-
tique oak. There are four l20-horse-
power boilers in the building, and under
uedtu du hIIeSldu "eH sOO lSob uSSp.
This water is run to the different apart
ments through pipes imbedded in ice.
There is a $40, 900 Tree law library for the
use of tenants. On the twelfth floor Is a
restaurant and billiard room, and on the
roof a beautiful garden, with gravel walks
and lovely flowers, At this season
nightly concerts are given on this root.
The admission to the roof is 10 cents.
From the top of the tower-the dizzy
height of 900 feet-the view today was
grand indeed. Far away in all directions
stretched the handsome streets and from
amongst the mingled trees and houses
rise many steeples. From this point one
can read the story Of the success of the
city he looks down upon in the great -four
ing mills and the miles and miles of lum.
Der stacked around the many saw mills
scattered along the Mississippi. Later in
the day the great Washburn Touring mills
we're visited. The capacity of these mills
is 5000 barrels of -four per day. and Of
all the mills in Minneapolis Sc, 900 bar
rels per day. They are run by water
power and lighted by electricity from a
dynamo in the basement. 1t is interest
ing to watch the experts sacking the -four
and putting it in barrels ready for the
market.
After the finishing touch by the man
who brands on every barrel the trade
mark, the flour goes out carrying the fame
OF Minneapolis to every part of the known
world. Il. 7. p.

The Gould Party Moving Westward IN
n LeIsureIy Manner.

The Gould party remained here Sunday
till . o'clock in order to give the ladies Of
the party an opportunity to attend church.
Mrs. Clark accompanied by the Misses
Gould attended divine service at the
Congregations church. Their presence
created no. even a futter as the audience
was entirely ignorant as to who they were,
as they had not announced their intention
of remaining over the night before.
After leaving Cheyenne the party
stopped Tor some tune at Sherman, where
all took a look at the monument erected
there to Oakes Ames. Upon reaching
Laramie, MI. Gould, his two daughters
and DR.. Mum were driven by Mayor
Spicer to the fish hatchery, where the
party was entertained by Major Schnitger,
who presented them on leaving a large
basket of fine trout.
The special left Laramie yesterday
morning for the West. The journey will
be continued in the same desultory
fashion, the train stopping wherever the
fancy OF the party may dictate.

letter from Mr.. Fred Coates. admins

he tells Mr.. Iiams that he has been
rounding up Waggoner's stock and finds
in the herd one horse that probably be-
longed 10 Mr.. Ijams. Mr.. ljams' brand
is OK bar. The brand on the horse
was similar, but had been recently burned
and slightly changed. Mr.. Coates says
the herd is a hard lot and comprises
brands of all kinds that have been burned
and mutilated.
Mr.. Ijams has also another letter from

There is a way of being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth at least as much as you
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff
ferences in material which make
such a material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-
caution of making yourpurchases
where Misrepresentation are
never for a moment tolerated.
You will be more than pleased

A PLAIN DUTY.

To THE CITY COUNCIL OF ROANOKE:
1t has been plainly and fully proven
that city official appointed by you has
been guilty of the grossest inefiiciency
and neglect of duty.
That official is George l.. Bennett,
clerk of Council and city auditor.
He has grossly failed to fulfil the
plain and explicit requirements of tho
ordinances defining his official duties.
Section S, chapter ", of tho General
Ordinances declares that mo money
shall be paid by the city to any person
unless the balance so due or payable be
first audited, adjusted or determined by
tho auditor" Yet he has knowingly
permitted thousands of dollars to be
irregularly paid out in the police de-
partment which have never been de-
posted in the treasury.
Section o, chapter w, declares that
the auditor is especially charged with
the preservation Of the faith and credit
of the city, and that he is authorized to
call upon any city. official for assistance,
lulOruaClOH, DOOkS OF aCCOunCS III Jnclr
possession Which he may deem neces-
sary for the discharge of his duties.
This important function he has scrupu-
lousy avoided, by his own admission.
Section IL, chapter ", declares that
the city auditor shall report annually
at the end of each fiscal year to the
finance committee the liabilities and
resources Of the city, setting forth IN
DETAIL all sums due to and from the
city. The city auditor knew the deficit
Of the chief of police at the end of the
fiscal year. Why did he not report it
to the finance committee, as was his
plain and sworn duty under tho ordi-
nances?
These are not all, but enough
Here is one officer who has been
proven guilty of gross neglect CT duty
and incapacity, whom Council can
reach. Section 4, chapter III, covers his
case. 1t reads us follows:
For malfeasanco, neglect Of duty,
incapacity or any other good cause, the
Council may remove from Office any
officer appointed by it,"

A VIOLATED ORDINANCE.

Section 6, chapter III, of tho general
ordinances of the city of Roanoke reads
as follows:
''The mayor shall keep record of
his proceedings and regular account
OF all moneys received by him as fines,
fees, ETC.. under this or any other ordi-
nance of the city. which he shall report
monthly to the Council, and pay over to
the treasurer AT THE END OF EACH
month"
If this ordinance had been obeyed
there would not now be an invcstga-
ton into the conduct of city administers
ton. Treasurer Thomas testified last
night that not even since tho 1st of
January has he received the fines from
the mayors court with any regularity
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-09-25
WHAT WAS FOUND.

The special investigating committee
of the City Council has started into
its work with vim that will sweep
away not only rank corruption from the
city's administration but sloths and in
competents, whose gross neglect of
duty have made possible defalcation
now nearing $4,000.
The City Councils will meet tonight
at o'clock and will be asked to enlarge
the scope Of the special committees
powers that it may not be hampered in
any direction in it's endoavor to clean
out the city's Augean stables.
This is what was discovered at last
nights session:
That the chief of police is short in
his accounts $4,000.
That Mayor Evans, City Treasurer
Thomas and City Auditor Bennett have
known for several months that the chief
of police was derelict in large sum.
That mono of them considered it his
duty to report the fact to Councils
The committee found further:
That the grossest laXity Of system OBJ
tanned in accounting for the fines col
1ccted in the mayors court.
That, though the mayor reported the
amount of these fines to Councils
monthly, they were turned into the
city treasury at irregular intervals,
often covering several months.
That the city auditor never made the
slightest endeavor to ascertain whether
his paid-in warrants were followed by
tho payment of money into the city
treasury.
That, so far as tho city auditor con-
cerned himself, every Stream of revenue
to the city might be diverted and he
would be in Cimmerian darkness as to
the fact.
That tho city auditor nevcr audited
except in tho most superficial and
perfunctorY manner.
In sentence the committee found
that large sum of the city's funds had
never reached the city treasury, and
that the city auditor, whose duty it was
to look after just such affairs, would
never have known it if it had not been
fairly crammed down his throat.

EDITORS IN COURT.
The Trial For the Publications of the Sing
Sing Electrocutions.

The Trial For the Publications Of the Sing
Sing ElectrOcutions.
New York. Sept, 24.-f Special Tho
editors of the newspapers who were in
dicted for printing accounts of the cleo
trocutions at Sing Sing on July = were
called on to-day in Part 1, general ses-
sions court to plead to the charge. Tho
Indictment characterizes the offense as
misdeameanor. The names OF nine ed
itors were on the calendar. Only four
however, put in an appearance. These
were James Gordon Bennett, repre-
scented by lawyer John II. Townshend;
Albert LIeckley, of the Morning Jour
nal; George w. Turner, of the Recorder:
and Charles Miller, of the Times.
Lawyer Townshend declared that his
client was not guilty of the charge.
He said that was his plea, but told
Judge Fitzgerald that he wanted the
privilege of withdrawing it or demur-
ring to it in two weeks time, if he so
desired. Dospassos, representing Hoeck-
10y, had his plea recorded in the same
way. Other editors, through their coun-
sci, said they were not guilty.
Pulitzer, Of the World; Cockerill, Of
the Morning Advertiser, and Merrill, of
the Press, were called, but no one
answered for them.

WILL THERE he WAR2

Warliko news comes from China
The government expects demand from
the combined powers of Europe for a
redress of the wrong done to foreign
citizens in the recent riots. China
evidently does not expect to yield to
these demands if tho report be true that
she is turning her attention to prcpara
tions to meet the demands with the
force of arms. In the meantime the
riots and dcprcdations continue.
The United States is interested
in this matter to the extent that
the government has entered into
an agreement to cooperate with Euro
pean powers, and is strengthening her
feet in European waters.

EAST END BURGLARIES.

The Residence of A. Nj. Voigt Entered With
aJimmy-Jewelry and Watches Valued
at $500 Carried Away Thursday Even
ing.
The residence of A. NJ. Voigt, of the
Storage and Supply Company, Liberty
street, who resides near the corner of High
land avenue and Margaretta street, was
forcibly entered by a burglar, or burglars,
Thursday evening, and watches and jewelry
valued at $500 are gone.
Mr.. Voigt went to Camp Kensington on
Thursday and his family were attending
picnic. On this account the house was
locked up and left without an occupant
until about dark. When the family re-
turned the servant girl entered first and soon
came out again, saving there was burglar
in the house. A neighbor went for an officer
and search of the premises was made, but
no burglar was found.
The knight of the dark lantern had en-
tered by way of the cellar, forcing open the
kitchen door at the top of the stairs with a
jimmy. He had then opened the rear door
to provide for hasty retreat. The house
was found in confusion. All of the trunks,
bureau and dresser drawers had been turned
inside out, and the rooms were Uttered with
the contents.
This is the third burglary that has been
committed in the East End within the past
few weeks, and there is not a clue to the
author up to date The theory that one man
has been doing all the work unaided seems
to find the most favor with the detectives at
work on the case.
