A License Hns Been Obtained and They.
wiz he Given ns Usual.
The following is an extract of a letter.
received by Manager Rawn, of the Gas
and Water Company, from President
Kimball in regard to Sunday concerts
By the Machine Works Band:
Regarding the matter of concerts in
the park, you will understand, of
course. that my interest in the matter
is entirely with view of making Roa.
noke as attractive as possible for the.
citizons of the place, and for the tran
sient visitors. We cannot, and will not
OF course. be AZ any (further) expense
In the matter OF concerts, although we
do not expect to mako profit, and at
any time that you find it is advisable
for any reason to stop the concerts, do
not Walt for any further advice from
me; or At you find that there is any gem.
eral feeling against tho concerts, WIN L
would stop them. would BIO the last
man in the world to suggest anything
that could offend religious people, as no
one has greater respect for the Sab.
bath than l. Personally / SEQ NO more
objection to having instrumental music
in our park than Instrumental music in
| Church, my opinion being that music
is elevating. l leave this matter en-
tirely in your hands"
To TIMES reporter yesterday Mr..
Rawn stated that in giving these con.
eerts it was certainly not the int ntion
OF the company to do anything that
may seem sacrilegious. He thought
that the concerts were of an educa-
tional nature and OF great benefit to the
working class. who could not enjoy
them on any days except Sunday
license has now been obtained, and
the concerts will go on as heretofore.
Several days ago Major Sands was neti-
fed by wire at Virginia Beach of the
state OF affairs, and he at once tele-
graphed to j. Allen Watts to take legal
steps to have the concerts go on. Mr.
Watts went to Salem yesterday and
procured the necessary papers, and the
concerts will be given as usual every
Sunday afternoon.

Negro Murderer Hanged.

COLUMBIA, S. C.. July 2o.-lSpeciall -
julius Wise, colored, was executed at
Lexington Court House to-day at 1886
o'clock for tho murder Of another negro
some time ago. 1t was expected he
would make confesson on tho gallows
duplicating Sheriff Drafts in the recent
Jail delivery by which Wise escaped,
but nothing OF the sort occurred. The
condemned man stated that Drafts was
not connected with tho matter. Wise
joined the church an hour before the exc
cution and professed belief in his souls
salvation. The lynching of negro
rapist was feared Immediately after the
legal execution of Wise, but 1t did not
take place and there are now no indica
tions OF such an event.

citing than that for governor. Ohio
county, tho largest and most influential
county in tho State, presented the name

Roanoke has ono of the most COM
plete and effective volunteer fire depart
ments Of any city in the State AS il
now stands it is composed of three COM
panies. The Vigilants, Company, No. !, :.
IS the ab}est company in the city. Their
quarters are on Jefferson street, and
they are equipped with all of the para
phernalia OF frst.elass company. The
membership of this company is about
forty active members.
The Junior Hose Company, No. 2, has
its quar- tiers on Campbell street, under
the police station, is we'll fitted up with
the necessary I'm elements for fighting
the flames and has an active member
ship OF thirty six men.
The Friendship Hose Company is To-
Gated on East avenue in a handsome
three-story brick building. The first
floor is occupied with the fire depart.
ment proper, and the second floor by
the company's elegant parlors, which
they have recently fitted up at cost Of
over 81 900. This company has enrolled
sixty members.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
these companies. They have had much
TO contend with, Notwithstanding which
they have brought the service to a high
order Of perfection. The CITY only
owns the engines and wagons and the
companies all OF the rest of the outfit,
including ladders, reels, helmets, gum
coats and tho horses. The ciry, bow
ever, pays for the feed of the horses
The men serve absolutely without paw
with the exception OF the drivers, who
receive small salary from the city.
notwithstanding this fact when the
alarm sounds the boys respond with the
alacrtty and enthusiasm of the best
paid departments, and in recent fires
have made for themselves most en-
viable records.
This is an institution that we'll de-
serves the fostering care of tho City
Council and it could we'll afford to be-
liberal In assisting to a higher degree
of efficiency an institution upon which
the property holders of the city look for
protection from their most dangerous
foe. AT present there is no regular en-
gineer and every time ire occurs there
Is from three to five hours of work that
must be done upon the engine in clean
ing and putting in good repair There
should be regularly paid engineer to
attend to this. Other improvements
could be made by the judicious expendi-
ture of little money that would make
Roanoke's fire department second to
none in the country. Such an invest
ment by tho Council would pay a safety
dividend that would be most satisfac-
tory to the property holder.
The officers Of the department are j.
Il. knepp, chief, with James T. Engle-
by and James Nc Fall assistant chiefs.

upon which the gentleman from Georgia
had based his Wholesale charges. If it
were true that the members had been
reeiing through the aisles drunk it was
alsgrace to the House If. on the con-
trary, these charges were not true then
they were disgrace to their author.
The House owed IL to itself to ascertain
the facts
Holman said that the gentle man from
Georgia had referred to him and stated
that he had made the same charges as
were made in the objections BILE para
graph.
He had not done so, Watson ex-
planned that in making his remark he
had referred merely to the retrench-
ment and reform items ofthe paragraph.
HE had, he admitted said something
about extravaganza in the House, but
he had never known House so exempt
from misfortune OF incompetence as tire
adopted, and few minutes afterward
the Speaker appointed as the special
committee Boatner, Walyerton. Buch.
anen, OF Virginia.; Grout and Simpson.
The incident was one OF the most.
dramatic of the session, the Speaker
and Watson being about tho only men
who preserved their customary coolness
The remainder OF the day was CON
sumed in filibustering over the Worlds
Fair amendment. In Outhwaite's abb
sence Cummings, of New York, was
promoted to the leadership of the Hi.
busters, with Bailey, OF Texas, as his
lieutenant. They did their work we'll,
for at 5 o'clock when fridays session
was interrupted by a recess the sioua-
tlon was the same as last night.

ON the New Ordnance Proving 6ronn DIS at
bethlehem, Pa.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, July 29.--The first
firing on the Bethlehem Iron Company's
new proving grounds was done yester-
day afternoon. The grounds are in a
large stone quarry at Raddington, six
miles from here. They are equipped
with six-inch' and eight-inch modern
cannon, forged at the Bethlehem iron
works and fabricated at the Washington
gun foundry. There are velocity and
armor-plate butts, q powder magazine
and instrument house.
Yesterdays shooting was to obtain
the velocity of an eight inch gun. a
projectile weighing $50 pounds was
fired with an eighty -one-pound charge
of hexagonal prismatic powder. Tho
ball flew through screens connected by
electricity with instruments from whose
indicators u velocity of l,7O2 feet a sec
ond was computed AS tho standard for
charge and distance is LOO feet, but
one round was necessary. The test was
one of tho most satisfactory in the his
tory OF modern ordnance. Twelve.inch
Harveyized armor. plate will be tested
with the same gun On Saturday
