A Singular Method of Treatment.

A peculiar case of poisoning by a
physician was that Of DR.. Stephen EOt-
vos. in Hungary, about twenty-five
years ago. EotvOs undertook to hasten
the death Of patients whose cases he
considered hopeless by putting them out
of their misery, as he termed it, with
fatal drugs. He encountered no OppOsi-
ton to his peculiar methods of benevo-
lence while he practiced them on people
of no particular standing. But when
the doctor FASTENED the death Of "a well
known land proprietor named Szlavy,
who was slowly dying Of cancer, the
relatives Of the dead man presented a
violent protest and demanded the prose
cutiOn Of EotvOs.
The physician declared on trial he was
actuated by humane motives and had
merely eased the journey of his victims
to the inevitable goal. This defense was
not accepted by the court. Eotvos was
acquitted of malice, but found guilty of
homicide without malice, and sentenced
to long term of imprisonment.-Pitts-

At the Worlds Fair.

The Manufacturers Record has the fol-
lowing to say about the North Carolina
exhibit at the Worlds Fair: The plans
for the state building at Jackson Park,
Chicago, are now ready, and it is proba,
bic that work on it will begin soon. Good
progress is reported as being made in the
collection of exhibits for this state. Ac-
tive operations have begun in the forestry
division, in the collection of fine speci
mems of all varieties of trees native to
the state. The horticultural division is
doing well, but in the agricultural depart
ment less progress is being made, owing
full collection of specimens. A very at
tractive feature of the exhibit will be the
way in which it is contemplated TO repre-
sent the magnificent scenery of North
Carolina. 1t is found that enlarged pho
tOgraphs do not give the desired effect
nor do justice to the grand and sublime
views found in the mountainous regions
Of the Old North State. 1t is probable that
this rarely beautiful scenery will be re-
produced in a series of oil paintings, each
5x10 feet in size, and painted by scenic
artist recommended by the Worlds Fair
commission. 1t is stated that the exhibi-
tion of gems and precious stones from
North Carolina Will surpass anything in
this line ever made in the state The
gems will be cut and of the finest char
acter, and will occupy case twenty feet

a Railrondin Trouble.

MACON, Ga. Dec. 9.-Question has
been raised as to tee validity Of the
charter under which tho Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad is operated.
The affairs Of this company have occu-
pied the attention of the court for nearly
two years. The road is now in tho hands
of a receiver. Tho b ondholders, whose
majority interest is represented by Mer-
camille Trust and Loan Compa of
Baltimore, have endcavored to foreclose
the mortgages and have tho road sold.
This action has been stoutly resisted by
the Macon Construction Company, which
is trying to prevent tho sale OF the road.
The latter holds $4,000, 600 Of common
stock among its assets and thinks if tho
road is sold this stock will be- rendered
valucless, whereas if not sold at this
time they will be- able 20 realize from
these assets in tho neigh horhood of 81

Of the charter will delay the proceed
ings until the matter is ht ard by the

appoint the same officer receiver of tho

RECEIVING THE NEWS.

Everyone Says 1t is One of tho Best Things
That Ever Happened For Roanoke.
The article in yesterdays TIMES in
regard to the increase at the Roanoke
Machine Works was the ll.absorbine
topic on tho street yesterday The good
news was hailed with joy and all united
in saying that it is one of tho best things
that ever happened for Roanoke Fol.
lowing are few of the expressions
given to TIMES reporter:
Mayor IL. S. Trout: my opinion has
always been that tho stability OF Roa.
noke would depend on her manufacture
ing industries. The increase OF force in
the shops viii increase our population
largely. The money paid these men
for their services will be spent in the
city. If 1000 additional mechanics arc
employed that will increase the popu.
lation about 5000, and inside three
years expect to see "a city of IS, 600 in
habitants."
w. =. DupuY: Il honestly believe this
would be d better thing for the city than
the building of the Roanoke End South
ern railroad. 1t will give an impetus
to business that the city has not wit.

crease in population of four or Ave thous-
and and plenty OF money in circulation
1t also kills the doctrine that our Re.
publican friends have been preaching
that Northern capitalists will not invest
money here"
Col. S. S. Brooke: THE Machine
Works has always been the back bone of
this city, and what Is All improvement
to them is an advantage to the city and
the surrounding country. Such an in
crease as stated in THE TIMES article
should be of incalculable value"
r. Wood ward: The Machine
Shops are the salvation OF Roanoke, and
II this report is true her future IS as
sured. The Norfolk and Western rail
road and the shops have already done
moro for this city than al. other enter
prises combined. When tho shops are
enlarged and such number OF men
employed in them, with lite industries

hts to the city which will be inestima.

restoration OF confidence would be fol-
lowed by large investments of capital in

Clarence Coleman: "If the news that

Nc Laughlin was very quiet last night

The only variance with yesterdays

drinking, and that lie did not know
what he was doing. He would not state
just when he left Roanoke. The only
remark of any real significance that he
let drop, was when he was told that he

Record reporter this morning inter
viewed Geo. w. Ramsey, general man

tive to the reported improvements and
engagements to be- made at the Roam
okc Machine Works. but found, to his
great surprise, that Mr.. Ramsey was
entirely ignorant of the fact that such
improvements had been definitely deter
mined upon. Mr.. Sands was
now in Philadelphia on business con.
nected with the equipment of tho Ohio
extension, but had not communicated,
to his kno Wedge, with anv one in
Roanoke concerning tho Machine Works
improvements, and Mr.. Ramsey could
not, therefore, either confirm or con-
tradict the assertion

L think the port is based
upon the fact that the capacity of the
Machine Works has been estimated at
three locomotives monthly aid twelve
freight cars daily, besides repairing and
miscellaneous work, but when this
amount OF work was required the capac-
ity was little oversGralned and work in
the repair and other minor departments
was somewhat delayed
about three weeks ago Mr.. Sands
asked for an estimate of the cost of the
tools and building extensions necessary
to keep up the above output the year
round, without ncglecting or delaying
other work The estimate was furnished,
and few days lator he requested an cs.
innate for enlarging the capacity of the
plant so per cent. viz: So as to allow Tor
the construction of AZ locomotives

the enlargement of the smith shop and

What was the estimated
cost OF the respective schemes?"
Mr.. Soule-"I am not at liberty to
answer further than that the first
scheme proposed would cost much less
than $3.50, 600. and the second somewhat
more"
Roporter-"How many additional
hands would be employed under the
