Western take possession of tie road

/ Western take possession of the road
/ SO soon. 1t is too early yet to say
how the deal is regarded here as the
announcement is SO sudden. How
ever it is not likely to be considered
favorable to Roanoke as it will take
away some of the inducements for
the Chesapeake & Ohio or Baltimore
& Ohio to extend their lines to tIis
city.
MIR. MASLIN MAY BE RETAINED.
The changes in the administration
of the road under the new control, if
there are to be any, have not yet been
announced. However, it is likely
that the Norfolk & Western will
make their new line "a division with
General Manager Maslin as Superin-
tendent, if he desires TO remain in
the service of the road.
The trains will soon run into the
Norfolk & Western Union depot.
The remaining fifteen miles of tele-
graph to be constructed, as this end
of of the line will be pushed to com
pletion 8 early as possible. Then a
through passenger and freight sched-
ule between Winston and Roanoke
will be arranged. The schedule will
be so fixed that the Roanoke &
Southern trains will make the con-
nections with the through trains on
the Norfolk & Western main lines.

A SKETCH OF THE r. & s.
Its History Briefly Reviewed-A Sue
cessful Road.

Many years ago an old intinerant
| Dunkard preacher. of more than or
binary sagacitY, made trips across
| the Blue Ridge from the valley of
the Roanoke in Virginia to the val
ley of the Yadkin in North Carolina
His home was near Big Lick, and
long before that sleepy old Virginia
village dreamed of the dawn of a
brighter day, the eagacious old preach
er began to tell the people that there
was a natural pathway across the
mountains, which railroad might
| follow with comparatively small
| cost.
Finally the Shenandoah Valley
came to Big Lick and Big Lick was
no more. New money and new blood
lad started to build a city. Others
| began to see that the old Dunkard
preacher knew what he was talking 6
about.
Col. S. S. Brooke, now clerk of
| the corporation OF Roanoke, wrote
an editorial iu the Roanoke Leader,
paper he was then publishing, ia
yoring movement to build the
road. A mass meeting was held a
while later. and representatives of
Winston, Charlotte and other places
in North Carolina were present.
| While Fl. S. Trout, for while
President of the road, was in the
Senate of Virginia the Roanoke and
Southern Railroad Company was
chartered by Virginia, and Senator
Fl, E Fries secured the North Caro-
lima charter. Work was begun late
| in 1888, and in June 1889 the first
train was run from Winston to Wal
nut Cove.
| From the start the road paid we'll,
and by careful management was
gradually pushed along till it reach
| ed Roanoke about three months ago.
| At one time last fall, there were
rumors that the Roanoke 6 Southern
was to be sold, and number of big
corporations wanted it. Negotia-
tions were pending with the Balti-
more & Ohio for some time, but the
deal failed to go through.
One OF the greatest strokes of man.
agement was securing the money to
prosecute the work to build the
road to Roanoke early last year
when nearly all the enterprises of the
country were paralized and capital
was hard to get.
No better more for Winston could
have been made then the lease of the
road to the Norfolk & Western.
That they will operate it satisfac-
torily to the people of Winston and
make such Improvements as the pat
ronage of the road will demand and
justify, goes without saying. This
means too that the road will be ex-
tended South, and the Roanoke 6
Southern will soon be one of the

The Bigamist Gets Five Years in the
Penitentiary.

GREENSBORO, N. c., February 25.
The trial of the Wylde bigamy
case is the sensation of the week in
Greensboro.
Wylde is an Englishman who came
to this country several years ago.
He lived in Greensboro mum Der of
years and was prominent in religious
and Y. M. c.. A. work. On October
22nd he married Miss Lizzie Monroe
a worthy young lady of this city.
1t developed that Wylde had wife
in England and in December he was
arrested in Kinston charged with
bigamy.
The case was called in the Superb
or Court Tuesday. The evidence
was completed Yesterday, and at 8
o'clock this morning the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty.
Judge Whitaker sentenced Wylde
to five years in the penitentiary.
The counsel for defense i'm mediately
made motion for a new trial which
was overruled and notice of appeal
to the Supreme Court was given.
The Workman in its report says:
The first witness introduced was
Rev. W. B. Wingate, pastor of the
Baptist church in this city, who per
formed the second ceremony. The
next was the Register of deeds, who
issued the license.
The case was resumed this morn
ing and Thomas Woodroffe. of this
city, was put upon the ste nd.
He said he knew defendant, who
worked for him in 1882 at Abe
marie, Va, and recently in this city,
said he knew the defendants hand
writing and identified his signature
to several letters which were intro
duced and read. In one letter he
spoke of his family in England and
directed the witness to send the bal
ance due him to his wife in England.
(This letter was written in 1882
Two letters were introduced from
defendant to his wife in England,
one of which was written two days
before he was married in this city
and the other one since he has been
in Jail here.
In the second letter, which was
dated Goldsboro, Tenn, Ga new name
for our county Jail, and it must
be tough place If it is any thing
like the jaiD he spoke of the trouble
he was in and requested her not to
let any one come to this country to
testify against him, that if she did
he would be sent TO prison and all in
tercourse between them would be
cut off forever; but on the other
hand he would be truer to her than
he had ever been before, and signed
himself affectionately.
Mrs. Thos. Woodroffe was called
and said she knew the defendant,
and said she had heard him speak of
his wife and lad about ten years
ago.
The neKt witness introduced was
Willie F. Dolphin, of Bromsgrove,
England, brother of wife No. 1. He
was very deaf and the question had
to be put to him in loud tone of
voice and when Mr.. King, counsel
for the defendant, wished to object
to the questions asked, he had to
waive him down in order to stop
him. He said he was at his fathers
house in Bromsgrove, England, in
1872, when his sister and the defend
ant left the house for the chapel for
the purpose of getting married.
That he did not go to the marriage,
said Mr.. McDougald, of the baptist
denomination, was pastor of the
church, that his sister and defendant
Wide lived together thereafter as

Mr.. Mclean Intends Scientifically 10 Re-
form Grand Rapids Inebriates.
s. A. Mclean, general organizer of
the Happy Home Clubs of America,
arrived in the city last night. To re-
porter for THE HERALD, who asked
Mr.. Mclean what he was gong 10 do
here, he said:
''Do? Why just what We are doing
IN other towns. Cure your inebriates
and organize 1. society whose object 1t
IS TO see that such as need treatment
get 1t, and that they are helped TO get
a start again after being cured and 10
see generally that once on their feet
they stay there. We are not looking
after your high toned DRINKS, but
after tradesmen who cannot afford the
expense and time necessary to go to
costly institutions. We have sobered
up IN Alpena 800 men and have made
good start IN Bay City and other
towns. We intend TO sober up your
city. We're mere TO stay just so long
as you have plain DRINKS on your po-
lice doCkets and women and little
children wanting for home comforts.
We purpose that there Will he more
whisky this winter. We expect the
help OF such of your citizens as are In
favor or having happy homes instead
of novels, and such as are the friends
Of little children and have any OF the
milk Of human kindness in them. The
well-fed, self-satsied kind that never
have time to think of anyone but
themselves wont give us much encour-
agement. This kind are easy to dis
tinguish, as they have an air about
them that suggests Armour's best. But
thank the Lord they are the exception
in any community. But We can tell
in few days whether you have more
than your percentage or not. tell
you the Happy Home clubs are the
temperance organization of the age.
We intend to cure by medical science
and not by broken pledges.

For-Ail
OVER A FIGHT FOR GOVERNOR

Engaged IL knitting Each Others
Candidate foI Governor.

Albert Chimene Of Houston, Texas
Is 3 guest al tie Morton. Mr.. Chimene

10 stock up. business Is excellent u
the vicinity OF Houston" he said. I'VE
have had wonderful cotton and corn
crops. l oan't remember when We
have had any better. AL through the
south the cotton crop has been an I'M
mense one this year. II WAS feared
when the south was soaked by the con-
tinuous rains Of the spring and early
summer that the cotton crop had been
seriously injured, bat except on the
very low lands the yield mas been I'M
mense. 1t is the same with cOrn-wlth
everything, in fact, Including demo-
cratic politics. We never had a better
crop OF state politics than We have this
year. The factions began their work
several weeks ago and they have con-
tlnued 10 knife each other with marked
y!gOr and enthusiasm everslnce. There
are two factlOns-those that support
Hogg and those that are following
Clark. The fight over the state ticket is
over the manner IN which the railroad
commissioners shall be chosen. Hog
is IN favor OF their appointment by the
governor, and Clark heads the faction
that believes the commissioners ought
to be elected by the people. The state
democratic convention was about as
hot Il thing as ever Texas politics has
kicked up In some time. TwO-thlrds
of the delegates were instructed for
Hogg, and when the Clark delegates
realized il they bolted the convention
and will have a l;tlie ticket of their
own. | don't think they have strength
enough to materially mjure the Hogg'
chances for reelection. 1t IS an I'M
portant matter - the people OF the
state and to the railroads, and every
body is taking hand in the fight.
The Farmers Alliance was expected
TO show up in great form at the coming
election, but 1t doesn't look as if they
could realize on their hopes. The men,
bers of the alliance will probably fuse
with the republicans and thus save
their party from being ignored en-
tlrely. Texas wall probably roll up the
usual loo, 900 democratic majority this
year, If the democrats don't fight So
hard among themselves that they
queer the VOTE"
