The different Transatlantic steam

fever outbreak and especially over the action

timing such large numbers Of immigrants. As
the companies are obliged TO support the I'M
migrants while they are In quarantine, the
profits made in carrying them are wiped out.

DR.. TALMAGE'S TABERNACLE
The Building May BE Sold Under the
SherIns Hammer.

Charles T. Wills obtained a mechan-
les lien on DR.. Talmage's tabernacle In
Brooklyn, and then brought an action to fore
close it, and Judgment was rendered In his
favor for So, ,2l6, on the 10th of February.
Last Wednesday the Judgment was signed by
Judge Pratt, and it will be enforced by the
sale of the property by the sheriff at public
auction in one parcel.
The tabernacle cost more than $500 900, and
the contractor, fearing he would not get his
money, placed the lien on the building. 1t
was thought that money would be raised to
pay it, but the trustees of the church failed
to get it. Then, as above stated, Wills went
to court and obtained the Judgment 1t has
been a struggle to pay running expenses.

The company has appealed to the mayor for
police assistance, but he refuses to allow them
to interfere, claiming that the police have no
right to interfere except when property and
life are endangered. He states that as no
violence has yet occurred or been threatened
the company must run its cars without the

A,Generous Offer.

at recent meeting of the trustees of
Roanoke College the Salem Development
Company informed the board that they
had agreed to increase the site rendered
to the College, as gift, from seventy
acres to one hundred acres, and to leave
the offer open for acceptance by the
trustees until January, 1898.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
company for their generous propos ition.
In the meantime DR.. Dreher Will make
an earnest effort to increase the income
of the College from subscriptions for
current expenses, or by increasing tho
endowment fund, and thus put the insti-
buildings.
While the trustees are fully agreed as
to the desirability of erecting new
buildings on the fine site offered, they
deem it unwise, in the present de-
pressed condition of this part of the
country, to commit themselves finally
to step involving the expenditure of
so large an amount of money. In order
to carry out so important an undertake
ing it will be necessary to raise con-
siderable portion Of the money in this
county and State, and before this can
be done there must first be revival of
business. That such a revival will
come before long all confidently believe,
and hence they look forward to fine
new college buildings as among the
things that are to be in the not distant
future.
