ROANOKE, VA, FEB. 16. 1892.
ALL QUIET.


All isquiet along the Roanoke. There
is no more danger of future trouble of a
hempen and peremptory character than
there is of lightning striking twice in
the same place. This is evident to all
who are in contact with and feel the
temper OF the people.
SO indisposed to violence are the gen
eral public that the calling out of mill
tia to guard jeff Dooley is open to plain
criticism as unwarranted under the
circumstances. Tho police are capable
of defending the station house. They
were equally capable ofdefending it the
night that Lavender was spirited away.
The conduct of the authorities at nearly
every point for the past four days has
been ill-advised and calculated to pro-
woke excuses. 1t is bad policy to treat
the public with suspicion.

THE hop crop of 1891 amounts to o43,-
Sos bales, against 2O4,S4o bales in 1890.
COLORADO has over 30, 900 square miles

IN Switzerland the first sugar factory
is being erected at Romanshorn, upon a

A Port HURON (NIich.) factory is said

those made of wool.
THE 5000 people engaged in watch
making in the United States turn out

posed of by about 5000 retailers.
THOUSANDS of men, women and chill

Portugal arc busted in cutting cork. It
is domestic trade, and it occupies
whole villages.
In Switzerland matchmaking has
taken quite jump; many large cstab-

sales, the amount received now annual

NOT BINDING.

While the powers OF the new charter
arc conferred on present city.oflicials, il
should clearly be understood that no APP
pointments made now will be considered
binding upon the officers to be elected
in May when they assume position next
July. Whether it be board of public
works, police or police justice. ne ap-
pointment can be considered binding
hereafter.
The officers soon to be elected will be
responsible to their constituents and it
would be unfair to hold them hampcred
by the act or appointments of their pre-
dccessors.

at this place was completely Quilted by
fire today. In the dock was lying the
Spanish steamer Ramon de Larrinaga,
Captain Echerarria, from New Orleans.
Her rigging caught fro owing to the in.
tense heat. The smoke was SO dense it
was impossible to let 90 her lines and
get her out of danger. A detachment
of the fire brigade got aboard of her,
however, after time and extinguished
the flames on the deck
In the meantime the steamers iron
plates became intensely hot and SGT fire
to the cotton slowed in her forward
holds. There are about 2,7OO bales in
this part of the steamer. The fire Is
still burning and the holds are being
flowed. There had been landed from
the steamer 3,4OO bales. These were
lying under the sheds and were for the
most part destroyed. 1t is possible that
the cargo in the farther end of the
steamer can be saved in dry condition.
Fifteen hundred bales are in this part
of the steamer.

DRY title to gold watch and guard which
had been placed in ''soak." The con-

as is always the case, succeeded in
pleasing one side, while the other
didn't feel we'll. The examination was

Charley Dolan, and the justice presided
outside the bar-with his usual grace

| On Monday last Taylor Gearhart, for
many years popular prospector on
| Florida and War Eagle mountains, met
with an accident which may cost him
his life. He and man named Peter
son were running tunnel to cut the
| Boonyille lode on Florida mountain,
and at noon Peterson took the tools to
the shop to sharpen while Gearhart re-
NAMED in the tunnel to fire round of
holes. Shortly after the explosion oc-
Cured, he came into the blacksmith shop
and fell to the ground Peterson went
to the Black Jack boarding house for
assistance, and when he returned,
Gearhart had again gone in the tunnel;
he seemed dazed, but walked to the
boarding house with assistance. DIR.
Weston was talephoned for, and found
the unfortunate mans skull broken and
pressed in against the brain. A piece
of the bone was taken out and the skull
raised. The conclusion was SO great
that it caused blood to flow from the
opposite ear. The nearest blood found
to the face of the tunnel was 100 feet
distant, and it is supposed that piece
of rock was thrown that distance, strik-
ing Gearhart over the left ear with the
above results. At last accounts he was
resting quite easy, and The DR.. thinks
he may recover.
