KING OF The ngeeARs.

Bampfyllo Moore Carow, Famous in tho
Reign OF George 1.
Arare old volume to be found in few
English libraries, says Pen and Pencil,
contains the history of the once famous
Banpfyldc Moore Carew, known in
England during the reign of George
|. as the king of the bcggars. Carew be-
longed to one of the oldest and most
honorable families in England. His ia
Their was n clergyman and his grand
father was an earl.
He passed through Elton with distinc-
ton, and entered Oxford. In his twcn-
tieth year he left college and joined q
gang of gypsics, with whom he re-
manned until his death, forty years
later. The entreaties of his family and
the ridiculc of his friends had no effect
upon him.
At his fathers death he inherited a
large estate, which he refused to claim,
continuing to live in tents, wandering
through Europe often in dire want and
squalor. He supported himself in beg
gary, in which profession he showed
such remarkable ability as to be every
where known us the king of the mcndi-
cants.
His disguises and limitations of suffer-
ing were endless. Carew, it is said, was
n man of great ability and winning
manners, hence, when he came in con-
tact with men of his own class, they
acknowledged him us still their equal.
His cousin, Lord Seaton, once laid q
wager with him that he could not de-
ceive him as beggar.
Carew approached him an hour later
as a decrepit old soldier, and received Il
pound; and the next day as widow
with n babe in her arms induced him to
give him three guincas. He undertook
voyage to America ito see what
could be made out of the Quallcrs," and
made q begging tour among the
Puritans of New England, the Dutch
in New York and the Cavaliers in Vir-
ginia-
He Travelled thousands of miles on
foot, actually begging from the saw
ages as he went. He returned triumph
ing in his petty gains, strings of wam-
pun and furs. All this time n manor
house and settled income waited his nc-
ceptancc. Carew was neither drunken
nor vicious. He was possessed by n
spirit of adventure which made the
tame, dccorous life of nm English squire
intolerablc to him

THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Commercial Association is taking
on new lease of life. Seventeen new
contributing mombers we're elected last
evening. The series of meetings which
have been held during the past two
months have evidently borne fruit.
To mako such an association sue
cess it is necessary that the progressive
element which has made Roanoke a
possibility should be allowed and en-
couraged to CONF to the front.
The reading rooms are attractive and
supplied with the leading dailies and
periodicals. No pleasanter place can
be found to spend an hour, day or even
ing.
Members are urged to aid the associa-
ton by lending their presence on all
occasions.

AsPER WAS TREASURER.
Running Down a Gang of Horse
Thieves.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
PULASKI. VA Nov 10.

PULASKI, VA, Nov. 10.
Asper, tho horse thief, seems to he not
alone in his vilIiany
To-day THE TINES correspondent had
most satisfactory in terview with Mr..
c. w. Callaghan, of Newberry's Mills,
Wythe county, tho finding of ono of
whose horses was mentioned yesterday.
Mr.. Callaghan says that on the night
of September IA, presumably between
IL and 12 o'clock, two horses, set of
buggy harness, saddle, bride, blanket
and buggy whip were stolen from his
stable.
About five days later he struck tho
trail of his property and followed it
tediously through the counties of Wythe,
Pulaski, Floyd and Patrick, into Surry
county, North Carolina, to the hands of
one Jacob jackson. The property had
not stopped there, and he followed on
to tho top of the Blue Ridge mountains,
at Fancy Gap. There tho horses had
fallen into the hands of Spencer Taylor,
| the father-in-law of jackson.
Taylor was arrested, and after q trial
lasting nine days before q magistrates
court, three justices presiding. Taylor
was found guilty. Taylor was defended
by Lawyers Grave and Carten, of Mt.
Airy: Messrs. George w. Sparker, of
Mt. Airy,and Bucksten, of Winston, ap-
peared for prosecution.
1t seems that Jackson was overhauled
and brought over to the Virginia side.
warrant being sworn out against Mr..
Callaghan for removing jackson to Vir
ginia without due formality, and find
ing that his horses were most likely in
Virginia, Mr.. Callaghan concluded that
Virginia was his best place and home
he came.
lie followed his stock, however, and
found that in the Blue Ridge, in Floyd
county. they had passed into the hands
OF another confederate (now found to
have been Asper,) and that this man
had ridden ono to Pulaski City.
Another of the Taylors'. Josiah, was
found in Knox county, Tenn, and is
now in Jail at Wytheville. 4 self-con-
fessed horse thief.
e. w. Carter's coup d'etat, mentioned
yesterday, wherein Asper was arrested
and Callaghan notified, brought the
latter to Pulaski, and this morning he
found one of his horses at Asper's home.
Floyd, as stated yesterday, and men
have gone after it.
Callaghan visited Asper in Newbern
Jail to-day. The prisoner claims to
have traded for or bought the horse,
and told Callaghan the blanket was at
his house.
Mr.. Callaghan says they now have
deadwood on seven or eight of the gang
and that the evidence is sufficient to
get them each eighteen years in the
penitentiary. He suspects Aspor as
being treasurer of the gang, as tho
others had money that seems traceable
to him. Asper evidently didn't steal
the Callaghan stock. He seems, how
ever, to have stolen q fine Jersey
heifer from Col. James Macgill, in addi-
ton to other depredations.
The past few days work will I'M
doubtedly be worth thousands of dollars
to the Southwest. The depredations
have, it is now evident, extended over
many years, while no important cap
lures have ever hitherto been made

quiet monotony of Campbell street yes
terday afternoon about o'clock
Councilman Walter Pocabontas Huff
was standing in front of the post
Office, when w. II. Oliver came up and

Mr.. Oliver blow that sent him to the

opponent, giving him several blows,
considerably bruising his face and head.
Friends interfered and no serious
damage was done.

progressive North Carolina town. and
that another large sc ,pe of territory

Eanss and stinc,.

In the examination of the poisonous
machinery of insects and reptiles it is
apparent that the destructive principle
is the same in all, and that the fang in
all possesses n hollow through which
the poison flows into the wound the
moment the incision is made. The
sting of the scorpion is precisely like
the fang of the rattlcsnalsc and pcr-
forms its deadly work on the same me-
chanical principles.

CATHEDRAL FAIR.
The Third Night is Marked by Larger
Attendance.

The Third Night Is Marked by Larger
Attendance.
The third night of the Cathedral Fair
was repetition OF the former evenings,
but on more elaborate scale. The
attendance was much larger than upon
either of the preceding evenings, and
the receipts were correspondingly
greater.
The dinner served at noon by the
ladies of the supper table was well
patronized. Half ahundred meals were
served. At supper another rush was
experienced. During the afternoon the
children of the Cathedral Parochial
School, st. Vincent's High School, and
st. Joseph's Academy attended In a
body, and succeeded In making mat
tiers very lively while they were pres
ent. To-day the pupils of Mt. de Chan
tai will be present. accompanied by sew
eral Sisters.
The novel attractions at the fair,
some of them entirely new, are great
drawing cards, and create no end OF
fun and amusement. The express
package system, conducted by COM
mittee of charming young ladies con-
nected with the art booth, is pleasing
Innovation in the church fairs. The
postoffice officials were kept busy. This
Office will not observe the usual holiday
hours to-day, and patrons are assured
that the usual deliveries will take place.
1t is probable that the bazaar will be
continued on Friday evening as great
many articles will not be disposed Of be-
fore that time.

II the attendance and the interest
manifested upon the opening night OF
the ladies fair and festival for the
benefit of the Church OF the lmmacu-
la+e Conception may be regarded as In
dicative of the success Of the affair,
then it will certainly bring most graft
fying results. The basement OF the
church last night presented beauteous
and most animated scene, the hand
somely draped booths, in contrast with
the bright colors of the bunting every
where displayed, forming a most pleas
ing view. The hall was crowded, yet
the spacious aisles reserved for prone
nading afforded ample room for the
people to move about.
The booths contained many handsome
donations, which were arranged so as
to be displayed to the best advan-
tage. Upon the fancy booth, which
occupied the centre OF the hall We're
dolls and fancy articles In endless vari-
ETY.. handsome pieces of furniture, and
many Quaint articles of bric-a-brac. The
refreshment booths occupied positions
on the east and west sides OF the hall.
Here cakes and delicacies to tempt the
natrons were offered for sale In profu-
sion. Neatly arranged ice cream par
lors adjoined the booths, and were well
patronized. At the north end OF the
hall was the supper table, where sub
stantial meals were served for modest
consideration. A handsome photograph
of The pastor, Rev. Father Mullen, Is
shown, mounted In handsome manner
mon a BACKGROUND of vari-colored glass.
This was quite novel piece OF work,
and a contribution from Mr.. Henry Ho-
brecht, q well-known glassworker OF
Flndlay. Ohio. The shooting gallery
was in charge OF Master Michael Fitz-
gerald, and did a thriving business. at
the fishing pond three sprightly Misses,
Mamie Brady, BERTHE Douglass, and
Mamie Lavel lie, balted the hooks.

charge of the different booths:

The Hebrew Benevolent Association
gave a donkey party last evening at

large attendance. The hall was filed
with merry participants, many Of the
younger ones being noticed in the

other hall of the city last night. 1t
was a handsome assemblage, too, many
of the pretty debutantes of the recent

1.-The reason why the balance OF the

Attorney, claiming the prisoner, and
stating that he was taken away
from Wheeling in violation OF
the Revised Statutes OF the

county that proceedings by way Of In
formation or indictment would be be-
gun against our Sheriff and your iailer

concluded to hand over the prisoner TO
