TIE Universal Postal Congress
which has clio sed its labors at Vienna,
Austria, agreed upon schedule OF low
and uniform rates OF postugo- among
nearly all nations. There have been
three preceding congresses, the first
session being held at Berne, Switzer-
land. in 1874, where the original
was formed, and meetings have since
been held at Paris and Berlin The
last congress at Vienna contained lzo
members, every civilized and semi
civil led country with the exception OF
China being new represented IN the
postaf union. The next congress Will
meet in Washington, D. C.. IN 1891.
Under the operation of this interna-
tional alliance the promptness and
cbeapness with which mail Is dis
patched to every country in the globe
i one of the marvellous achievements
If modern civilization. Previous 10
',e organization of the union, there
listed 1000 different POSTAL taxes
but these have been reduced to an In
significant number with uniform ano
moderate tariff. The countries adopt
ing the postal union have population
Of 915. 200, 600, or more than three
6fths OF the total inhabitants OF th'
globe. An idea of the increase ot tn
nostal business of the world since tn
adoption of the union schedule may D
gathered from the fact that in 1871 tn
total number of postal pieces carrie
was $500, 100000, while in 1888

Duval's Case Dismissed.

The case Of J. Hampton Hoge against
G. B. j. Duval for obtaining money
under false pretences was called aud
dismissed by Judge Williams without
trial. Mr.. Duval negotiating loa n
upon certain securities and being di-
rected to draft for the amount SO neeo-
tiated and believing the same would
be honored, gave to Mr.. Hoge the draft
which was the foundation for the war
rant. Mr.. Hoge at the time of suing
the warrant was not acquainted with
the above facts and when they were
made known to him, he consented to the
dismissal of the warrant, and the
matter was amicably settled.
The above negotiations failed, as above
stated, and Duval went to Lynchburg
last Thursday to arrange to get the
money from George Eldridge. They arr
ranged for meeting on Saturday, but

meeting Of the board of directors of
the Roanoke Hospital Association was
held yesterday evening in tho rooms Of
the Commercial Association.
There werc present: President t. t.
Fishburne, Messrs. A. Pope, w. G.
Evans, e. C. Pechin, j. Allen Watts.
Thomas Lewis, j. t. Engleby and d. s.
Meadows, the secretary.
Col. Pope, as chairman of the commit
tee on securing n site for the proposed
hospital, said hi, committee had re-
ceived several propositions from differ
ent land companies, but tho one on
which he was more inclined to make q
favorable report was that of the Roam
oke Gas and Water Company. Mr.Pope
said that tho company had agreed to sell
tho association n lot on its lands lust
beyond tho river on Jefferson street,
and near the foot Of Mill Mountain, in
consideration of tho maintenance and
perpetuity of one bed for an adult in tho
hospital.
The lot contained about Il acrcs. was
admirably located, and we'll adapted for
the purpose. The board Of directors OF
the Gas and Water Company had al
ready sanctioned such q deal, and tho
matter was now left to the hospital
board for acceptance or rejection.
Col. Lewis moved that the proposition
be accepted.
Mr.. Watts objected to this until a
better understanding could be arrived
at. He raised tho point that should it.
become necessary to move tho hospital,
the contract should be so understood
that tho association had q right to sell
the property, and if such be the case, to
have the matter equally binding on the
party, that tho bed in the hospital
should still be maintained.
Col. Pope said he understood that.
should n location be secured, it was per
petual II, however, there was any
occasion to move tho hospital, tho
property Of course would revert to tho
original owner.
The value OF the lot was started at
idea which the Gas and Water Company
wished to convey by tho proposition,
that tho hospital be perpctually located
at this point.
The proposition was then accepted on
the following conditions:
First. III at any timo in tho future it
| should be necessary to move the hospital
buildings, that the company shall have
the right TO sell the said three or moro
acres of land and invest the proceeds
elsewhere, provided that tho new
hosuital bed be maintained
Second. That ifsthe said Roanoke Gas
and Water Company prefers, they may
take $1,000 worth OF stock in tho
hospital company.
On motion of Colonel Pope Mr.. Watts
was appointed as attorney for the as
ISOLATION to make the deal. Tho report
of the lady patronesscs, who were
elected at previous meeting, was next
read by tho secretary and adopted.
The board then adjourned.

My Fellow Citizens: / have found
not only pleasure, but instruction in
riding to-day through the portion of the
state OF Virginia that is feeling in a.
very striking way the impulse of new
development. 1t is extremely gratify-
ing to notice that those hidden sources
OF wealth, which were SO long unob-
served and SO long unused, are now be-
ing found, and that these regions, once
so retired, occupied by pastoral people,
having difficult access to the center of
population, are now being rapidly trans
formed into busy manufacturing and
commercial centers, In the early settle
mont OF this country emigrants poured
over the Alleghanies and Blue Ridge
ike waters over an obstructing ledge,
seeking the fertile and attractive farm
regions OF the great West. They passed
unobserved these marvellous hidden
stores of wealth which are now being
brought into use.
Having filled those great basins of
the West, they are now turning back to
Virginia and West Virginia and Ten
nessee to bring about the full develop.
ment and production for which time is
ripe and which will surprise the world.

ROANOKE. VA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL Is 1891

soon as the President had ceased speak
ing, man made his way to the rear of
the car, climbing over the shoulders of
people when ho could proceed in no
other way. He sprung upon the coupler,
mounting the elegant bronze railing and
stood among the party on the platform
of the car. He handed tho President a
small souvenir. 1t was q small pocket
slate and pencil with q place for the
name and address of the owner, and is
designed for directions to any who may
find the owner an unfortunate victim
in railroad accident. On the outside
was the card Of the real. estate man.
The President accepted the souvenir
with bow and the cheeky man pro-
ceeded to distribute the valuable article
among tho party, after which he
triumphantly descended to place with
the crowd
Mrs. Harrison was presented with a
handsome boquet by Mr.. and Mrs. Eddy,
and many people asked for and obtained
the Presidents autograph.
The Postmaster General slipped
through tho observation car with a
friend and made his way through the
crowd unobserved to the gate leading to
Hotel Roanoke. A lady who was hurry
ing down from the hotel to see the
=
Harrison and addressed him as Mr..
President, saying that she was glad to
see him and wished HIM a safe and
pleasant journey.
This was rather sudden, and the lady
didn't give tho Postmaster General time
to correct her. The lady is quite at
tractive, and of course he must saw
something in answer to her good wishes.
Finally he replied: Madame, YOU
have my sincere thanks. l am reason
ably familiar with tho MAILS of Roam.
oke, and l am sure l would like to be-
come acquainted with many more of the
females"
The Hon. jerry Rusk, secretary of
agriculture, was the only man in the
party that wore silk hat. Fortunately
there were but few farmers out to SEQ
him. All of the party were plainly
dressed, the gentleman wearing plain
black suits with turned down collars
and dark scarfs.
There was nothing especially notice
able about the travelling dresses of the
ladies. They stood most of the time
looking through the windows, apparent
iy with no more curiosity than the eager
crowd they gozed upon.
The President expressed himself as
highly pleased with the demonstration.
AT 9:35 the Presidential train pulled
out Vice President Eddy, of the Nor.
FOLK and Western, accompanied the
party to Radford, where he met the
afternoon train.
Tho Presidential train arrived at
Lynchburg at ESQ o'clock, having made
the run from Washington on schedule
time.
There was no special incident en-
route Fifteen minutes were spent
there for the purpose of shifting the
train from the Richmond and Danville
road to the Norfolk and Western A
large crowd gathered at the station, but
thore was no demonstration. This was
due to the early hour and the fact that
the President had not arisen.
Another brief stop was made at Blue
Ridge, where crowd gathered and en-
loyed the spectacle of the Chief Magis-
trate OF their country and his family at
bI eakfast.
