An Ordinary Brawl Exaggerated Into Il
Charge of Criminal Assault

An Ordinary Brawl Exaggerated Into II
Charge of Criminal Assault.
Charles Casey, colortd man, who
lives near the furnace. got out war
rant charging Will AiliT. Will Robinson
and Jim Blankcnship, three young mon
who live on Brick Row, with disturbing
the peace by assaulting his daughter
Sallic and niece Lucy on the Fourth of
July.
Mr. Lockett was engaged as counsel,
and the mayor was to have tried the
case yesterday morning; but Mr.. Lock
cit drew another warrant charging tho
same young men with attempting Z. Grim
inal assault. OF course this changed the
aspect of the case, and the prisoners were
sent to the magistrate.
Justice llowerton refused bail, and
Aililf and Robinson were locked up.
Blankenship could not be found.
When the case was tried yesterday
evening large crowd filled the court
room.
Tho testimony of tho women showed
tempted. Their evidence developed the
trouble into a common row, in which
they fought as much as any one else.
Two ladies, Mrs. RACER and Mrs.
Griffith saw the disturbance, it being
about o'clock in the daytime, but
thought it was only a small row.
Only few witnesses were examined.
Both Ailiff and Robertson testified and
denied nearly all that had been charged
by the two women. 1t had been clearly
shown that Robinson had nothing what
ever to do with the case, and Ailiif was
only an actor in the last part
Captain Berkeley defended the prison

cution. Justice Uowcrton dismissed the

MODEKATION.

matter OF some Importance, descry,
ing fair consideration at the hands of the
the Council is brought about by tho
order of Mayor Evans issued Saturday
evening, forbidding the sale of cigars
and tobacco at any open place of sale
in Roanoke on Sunday.
Sunday observance is good and ad-
visable, and proper and decent regard
of the Sabbath Day one entitled to all
consideration. but the days have gone
by in America when tho Puritanical
observation of the day of rest is either
needed or to be desired.
No one can justly complain that Roa-
noke is not a misunderstanding city.
The many beautiful houses of worship
going up in this city bear ample testi-
mony to the strong Christian character
of its population. We question if any
city in the country can show such
C crowded churches, such honest and earn.
est Christian endeavor by so many and
80 large population Of it's people. The
visitor amongst us is struck with the
order and decorum of our streets on the
Sabbath day, and while in many cities a
beggarly number Of people give scant
attendance at houses of worship, here
in Roanoke the opposite is the case. The
c hurches are crowded to the doors.
This being the case, there is no sound
reason for driving the Sabbath law with
too strict hand. 1t is not in aid of
cigar selling or tobacco selling that a
protest is made, but in particular against

The drug merchants and restaurant

usually large yield Most of the butter
used in Rio Janeiro, a city of $1,000
population, is the modern adulterated
article, imported in tin cans, which
shows the law status of the dairy inter-
est of Brazil. The city consumes an
average of 10000 head of beef cattle
yearly, and most of them come from
two large provinces. They are driven
to market much as they were in this
country before the RAILROAD period. The
meat retails at an average of about II
cents per pound.
There are number of mixed breeds
of cattle in the different provinces,
among them the Musticos, Qutabanos,
Turino, and in the principal cities and
towns some Jerseys, Shorthorns, etc,
imported for family use. The great
mass of cattle have not been improved
since their first introduction two cen
turtles ago Turinos are black and
white, probably cross with the Dutch
or Holland cattle, and are the best for
dairy purposes, yielding 1900 pounds
of milk per year. The annual average
production of milk of the common Bra
lillian cattle is 720 pounds per year and
the average value of product is: Meat,
$50; milk, $50; cheese, S25 per year.

FORGERIES.

Never was there time when there
were so many defalcations, breaches
of trust and forgeries as are being re-
vealed every day. One may well
stop and ask whether there are now
any honest men. The fast pace that
this American life leads as, the rush
and strain for wealth, the lowering of
the public tone and the recognition
that mere money wins, all of these
things have conspired to make men
reckless and to lead them to adopt the
maxim: "Any thing for success" 1t
is not worth striving for when one has
to pay such price for it. Better by
far preserve ones health that is almost
certain to be lost in such an unequal
contest. When you feel blue and
weary of the world take a dose of
REDS GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE and stop all of these
morbid feelings at once. This great
remedy contains no poison and can be
obtained of any druggist.
