Our City Fathers.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
council was held Tuesday at which there
was a full attendance of the members.
ihe auditing committee made its re-
port showing the financial condition OF
the city to be as set forth in a publica-
ton a week or two since. The net bal
ance in the treasury is $176.51, and the
uncollected assets 81, 1862.
The council adopted the following Or
dinances
Be 1t enacted, that all persons throwing
water on the side walk, or throwing pa
per or refuse of any kind from houses or
stores into the streets, shall after prop
err notice, be fined $25 for each offense.
Be 1t enacted. that all engineers and
others in charge of engines, blowing
their whistles, allowing their engines to
pop off. or running with cylinder cocks
open, inside the city limits, shall be
fined SO. so for the first otfense, $500 for
the second, and $40 for the third otfense,
unless it shall be shown necessary to do
SO.

Ticket sales.


The ticket sales at the Clifton Forge
ticket Office for the month of July
amounted to SIS, 1874 80, and the number
of tickets sold was 4,07S. This is an in
crease of $500 over July, 1896. and
about the same increase over the sales
for the month Of June. 1891.
These figures are significant in several
respects. First. they show the continued
and increasing prosperity of this section,
and the interest manifested in it by the
public The business of the post-office
shows similar increase, and taken to-
gether, these two offices give great er evil
dences of the substantial growth of the
community than any other two indiea-
tions we could name. And we may just
add that Clifton Forge is growing, and
more, the growth is substantial These
further show the absolute demand for
better depot facilities at this point A
ticket Office with receipts amounting to
over 5000 d month, without a decent
waiting,room for ladies, to say nothing
of their comforts, is so inconsistent that
comment is. Unnecessary. We are glad
that the officials of the road are recogni-
zing this condition of things, as stated in
last weeks issue. et

A Daring Attempt.

On Saturday morning last about 2
O'Clock, the Express train that left
Clifton Forge at Ills on arriving at Ba-
sic City, man entered one of the sleep
ers, and going to berth, drew aside the
curtains. Perceiving lady in it, he
apologized, saying he had missed his
berth. He passed on a few sections,
where Mr.. Council, of Portsmouth, Ohio,
was sleeping. He addressed Mr. Connell
demanding his money. Mr.. ConneN
thought he recognized the voice Jas that
of an engineer he knew, and kicking at
him, told him to go away. The response
was bullet from a pistol in the hand
of the intruder which entered his stom-
ach. The robber quietly passed out and
escaped, while Mr.. Connell was taken to
Charlottesville, where at last account, he
was lying dangerously i'll. Mr.. Conneil
is a capitalist and it is supposed the
highwayman knew this, and believed he
had money with him. No clue. as yet,
has been discovered as who the robber
is, or where he is from.
There is a band'of thieves and despera-
does traversing Virginia, committing all
kinds of depredations-ro bbing post
officer, breaking open stores. stealing
horses. and committing other similar
crimes Four of them We're arrested at
Richmond last week, as suspicious char
acters, and it was found that they had
valuables on them which had been stolen
at Farmville, to which place they were
taken. They are connected with gang
in Philadelphia, to which place some of
the stolen property was shipped, and
where they are wanted. No doubt some
OF the same gang robbed Mr. Hutchin-
sons store at Iron Gate, and Mr. Faber's
jewelry store in Clifton Forge, a few
weeks previous to that at Iron Gate.
The displacing Of the switch of the same
train at Staunton week before the at
tempt on Mr.. Connell's life, was doubt
less by some of this band OF thieves and
murderers. There have no arrests been
effected, except those at Richmond. Sew
eral suspected parties are under surveil-
lance at Basic City.
P. s.. Judge James w Marshall, OF
Craig, left the bedside of Mr. Cornell, al
Charlottesville, yesterday morning, at
4 O'Clock. At that time the wounded
man was thought to be dying. His wife
and daughter had just arrived Three
of his sons and family physician had ar
rived previously. Another son, the
youngest, at Craig City, was to have
left for Charlottesville last evening on
the arrival of Judge Marshall

From a letter found on his person, his

England. This letter was written by
his wife and dated at London, and adj
dressed to him at Covington. From the
fact that he carried trowel and rule 1T
is supposed he was a stone mason, who
had been working at Coyington- He
was perhaps leaving, but why he-should

Dr. Hughes was called to do what he

Church Dedication at Iron Gate

The Dedication services at Iron Gate
on last Sunday, were particularly inter
esting. The day was perfect summer
day. The crowds in attendance were
very large, and the preaching of a high
order of excellence. The opening prayer
was made by Rev. Mr.. Pryor, of the
Methodist Church. Rev. j. r. Fiser, of
the Baptist Church, read the scriptures
and Rev. E. w. McCorlSle offered the
dedicatory prayer, as well as conducted
the formal service of dedication
The sermons by Rev. j. A Qnarles,
d. D., were especially simple, earnest
and strong. That in the morning was
somewhat out of the line of dedicatory
sermons. 1t was striking, clear and
able exposition of the great doctrine of
Justification by faith, and made a pro-
found impression.
The music, under the leadership of
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Hileman was excel
lent and gave great pleasure to the peoe
pie.
The building is a pretty one, situated
on a plateau and near the centre of the
town. 1t was built by the Withro W
Lumber Co., at a cost of $4,000 90 or
$4,000 90. The President Of the Lum Der
Co., besides liberal subscription, gave
the pulpit. The Bible and Chandelier
were given by little girls. The Pulpit
chairs by an unknown party. A gentle
man at Iron Gate, besides generous
subscription, has offered to give the
bell.
The name of the Church is the Kay
ser Methodist Church. A member of
this family also gave a handsome sub
scription to the Church.
The Kings Daughters of Lick Run, OF
which Miss Belle Shirley, is President
have contributed very materially toward
the erection of the building. 1t will be
great blessing to the community
Therefore to those and all others who
aided in the work, the committe returns
sincere and hearty thanks.

More Robberies.

On Sunday afternoon, about 9 o'clock,
the jewelry store of Mr.. J. A. Faber was
again entered by thief who carried off
a small amount of jewelry. 1t has been
only short time since burglars entered
his store at night and stole nearly every
thing he had, amounting to thousands
of dollars. This theft, though the booty
obtained was of com paratively small
value, was even more daring than the
former, being committed in open day
light. Entrance was effected by break
ing through glass panel of the front
door. There is no clue to the perpetra-
tor.
1t is reported that some one entered
the house formerly occupied by. Mrs.
Wayland as a millinery store on Church
street, Sunday night, and small guam
