Opposed to the School Bill.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature by Representative Hunter,
providing that all children of parents
who pay taxes in the city be allowed to
attend the schools of the city, whether
they are residents of the city or not
The Lynchburg school board has taken
steps to bring to the attention of the
legislature the objections they entertain
to tho passage of the bill, claiming that
such law would be unjust to the city.
In reply to the question as to what
Roanoke would do aboutit Mr.. Stephens,
a member of the school board of this
city, said that it had not yet been
called to the attention of the board. He
could not say for the others, but thought
they would oppose the measure He
did not think it would be fair for Roam
oke because so many of the taxpayers
OF the city live out of town and besides
they have the benefit of the schools.

CORONER GRAY
Wants the Screws Put on a
Newspaper Man.

Coroner Henry v. Gray vested him
4 self with judicial authority yesterday
morning and issued peremptory
order on the chief of police to summon
certain newspaper man before the
special grand jury that convened yes
terday, because the said newspaper
man had not done his bidding. The
order Is dated January I4th and reads
as follows:
To the Chief OF Police, Roanoke city, Va:
command You to apprehcnd one II. A. Col
man and summon him to appear before the spc.
cial grand jury which con, eics on tomorrow by
order OF the Honorable Judge William Gordon
show cause why he should not he fined, impris,
oncd or otherwise dealt with according to law
LOT withholding the evidence in tho case OF one
same HENRY v. GRAY Coroner
The issuing of this mandate was
caused by the request of the reporter to
sknow If Coroner Gray would be re-
ponsible for tho expense of writing out
the evidence, as Council had intimated
that it would approve no more bills of
this character. The coroner had up.
pointed the newspaper man clerk of the
jury which inquired into Officer Mabry's
death, and was accordingly looked to as
the one who should sec the bill paid.
Gray wrote the above order to the chief
of police.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
coroner has no more authority to order
man to appear before grand jury Tor
any other body, for that matter, except
coroner's jury than any private citizen
would have, the summons was obeyed
and the reporter appeared before Judge
Robertson Yesterday morning.
The judge in the meantime had re-
ceived note from DR.. Gray, explaining
the circumstances of the case and re-
questing that the screws be applied to
the newspaper man, who had committed
the enormous offense of sighting the
coroner's authority.
Both Judge Robertson and Common
wealth's Attorney Smith were very
much amused at tho affair, and the lat
ter informed the reporter that there
was no need for his coming to the
courthouse at all. That all he wanted
was the names and addresses of tho
witnesses with n brief statement of
their evidence, which it was the duty
of the coroner to furnish. He said he
dN not want tho evidence in full, and
[Srobably would not read it if he had
been furnished with it.
Judge Robertson said that the coroner
had no authority to hire stenogra phcr
to report an inquest, but tina tCouncil gen-
orally paid tho bills. When Mr.. Smith
informed him that he did not require
the evidence in full and that he had
sufficient OF it in his possession, tho re-
porter was once more a free man but he
was advised to beware Of the coroner.

He bad been graphing day after day
for something like $4,000, 900 lost with
the British ship Hussar.
After the first plunge Of the bucket
about one cubic yard Of mud was

men began to sort and wash for treas

glitter in the silt and picked.it up.
II was m English guinea Of thetime

perfect preservation, and only a little
blackened by the water. Halfa dozen
more were found, two gold buttons
from the uniform Of a British naval
officer. The the next plunge Of the
bucket brought up quantity Of cop

That ended the find Of the day, but
1T established beyond doubt that Capt.
Simonds has located the lost Hnssar

haps on the threshold Of great wealth
for himself and other members Of the
company. This is as far as known the
