mains Sent to His Former Home.

T. A. Keller at Woolwine's undertake
ing establishment yesterday morning.
Before summoning jury tho coroner
examined number Of witnesses to as
certain whether or not it was necessary
TO call jury.
w. &. Baug hman, who had employed
young Keller for over three months,
told of how he had let him off to 90 to
the picnic and how he received mes
sage few hours later that Keller had
met with an accident. lie hurried to
the scene and found that Keller had
been carried into tho brewery. Keller
told him some fellows who were riding
on the platform told him enough were
on, and pushed him off. No liquor was
on his breath. lie did not see any one
pushed Off
Z. T. lliler, condu ctor of the Vinton
dummy, and L. nj. Brown, engineer.
both testified that they saw no signal
from anyone at tho brewery, and conse-
quently did not stop. They knew moth
ing of the accident until signal was
made by some one to stop. The dummy
was running slow; not over six miles an
hour.
DR.. Gordon Simmons and w. II. Nc
Kay testified to hearing Keller say that
some one had pushed him of. Other

Daily News talks about Roanoke:
Nino years ago Roanoke was known
to aboriginces as tho Big Lick, where
the deer roamed at will among the sur
rounding forests, and the GOO souls in
the Village basked in the sunshine of a
contented humdrum life. But their
dreams were dispelled. their peace dis
turbed when the iron horse Of the Nor
folk and Western Railroad Company
came snortins into their valley past
their doors, and they walked up to find
that now era had dawned upon them.
The banner of progress and prosperity
had been unfurlcd. tho car was moving
and they must join the procession or be
left in tho rear
They were married to tho enterprise
of the North, and it was an easy change
of namo from Big Lick to Roanoke, bo-
cause they liked the NJ arriage, and they
love it still. But what q progeny in
nine years! From 600 to $4,000 busy,
enterprising, indomitablo souls, sup
ported by fifty or more manufacturing
establishments, surrounded by rich
mineral and agricultural country with
splendid church edifces, four public
school buildings, four of the finest
hotels in the State, handsome and
unique residences, etc. Space will not
a. nit Of enumeration. TO appreciate
Roanoke's activity it must be seen, and
once seen you inevitably fall into the
whirl and swirl OF its attractions, and
seek TO invest, believing you must get
good returns.

pie who arc looking around for first
class investments will find ready mar
kot for their capital, either in Roanoke
or Salem The iron interests OF both
these sections arc being rapidly dovel-
optd.

OPPOSED TO MACADAM.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE TIMES: have
just read your editorial of yesterday on
macadamizing of tho principal steets of
Roanoke, and as am property owner
and taxpayer OF your city. desire to
emphasize your disapproval of said
plan.
Tbe crushed limestone rock has been
used here for years at never-ending ex-
pense, and about all the satisfaction we
get is to see it grind up in dry and
windy weather and blow into our faces
and houses, and in wet weather trans
form into mud This 1 am satisfied
you can't prevent il you make it six feet
instead OF six inches deep. This
crushed rock business will answer for
resident streets where the travel is
light, but by no means should be put

''There is not much show for Flagg,
the Farmers Alliance candidate. The
Republicans talk OF putting up a man,

will.
"Flagg is Malone Republican. and
you may rest assured that mono of the

they be in the Alliance, will support
him. This is one reason why the Ro-

date. They do not like Malone.

What Hoods Sarsaparilla
will do. First, Remember
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
preeminently a blood puri-
fer and building-up medi-
cine, and by its efficient
action upon the blood it
reaches every organ of the
body, thus curing many
complaints which remedies
more local in effect utterly
fail to reach.
