Railway company has decided to close
it's agency in this city. Mr.. Williamson
Dunn, who has had charge of the office,
will 60 to San Francisco today, where he
will take the position of commercial
agent for the company. His family
will remain here for some time, and, in

spend a considerable portion of his time
here. The company is to be congratu-
lated on having in its service this &C.
complished railroader, whose personal
qualities win the warm regard of all
who know him.
The report was current yesterday that

BLACK NABBED.

Officer Goodman's Slick Piece of Work
x Da Completed.
Robert Black, who was arrested about
week ago by Police Officer Goodman
on charge Of burglary, had his exam
ination yesterday before Justice Austin.
The testimony in the case was very di-
rect and conclusive, and puts Officer

of local hawkshaws. As the story was
told in the court room, the defendant

burglary of which he was suspected,
and the principal part of the work left
for the officer was gathering up and
putting together the necessary testi-
mony.
Briefly stated, Black broke into a
house near the Main-street gardens,
opened trunk with monkey-wrench,
took out silver watch, and sold it to q
secondhand goods dealer on New High
street. How he was discovered and ap-
pretended has already been told in
these columns.
Judge Austin held the defendant to
answer before the superior court to the
charge, with bail fixed at $4,000.
Thomas O'Reagan pleaded guilty to
the charge of disturbing the peace, in
Justice Austin's court, yesterday. He

tin, yesterday, on a charge of battery.

on $15 bail.
Justice Austin disposed of two cases
OF drunk yesterday. Frank Bernard
and James O'Reilly were each fined So
for this offense.
N. III. Mullin and William Wall APP
peared before Justice Austin yesterday,
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The two men fxed up
a check. for $25 on the Southern Cslifor-
MIA National bank and passed it. They

Ono or two light frosts have fallen in

varied hues OF autumn. In few more

Tho fields, too, are gay with tinted
grasses and waving plumes of golden
rod, or masses OF "Black.eyed Susans. "
Tho air is bracing and little cool, but

doubt, are coming, but as yet there is
no suggestion in the atmosphere of any
thing but JOY and health and beauty.

THE GREAT POET DEAD.
Lord TennysOn Passed Away Yesterday
Morning.

Morning.
LONDON. Oct. 6.-[Speciall Lord
Tennyson died at 1925 this a. m. All
the members Of his family were with
him, and Sir Andrew Clark remained by
his side from the moment of his arrival
yesterday until he breathed his last.
So gentls and painless was his passing
away that the family did not know he
had gone until DIR. Clark broke the news
to Lady Tennyson, who bore the closing
scenes OF her great trial we'll in spite OF
her extremely delicate health. Hon.
Hallam Tennyson, the poets son. says
that his fathers death was eminently
peaceful.
He did not show single trace Of suf-
ferin9 to distress his sorrowing rela-
tives and friends. OncY or twice during
the night he lifted his eyes to the faces
OF the watchers by the bedside aud a
beautiful smile played over his features.
No doubt as to the future was in his wan
face, and as the end came he appeared
to fall asleep. So restful was he and so
calmly did he respond to the beckoning
hand OF the angel of death that those
who stood beside him scarcely knew
that he had passed away.

ROANOKE, VA, OCTOBER :, 1899.
SWELLING THE RETURNS.

the Georgia returns arc even more
emphatically Democratic than predic-
tions had forecast. The present indica-
tions are that it will be larger than
Cleveland's majority in 1888, and may
exceed 10000. The Third party is
showed under and the colored vote is
split in another Southern State.
The Republican party leaders should
by this time be convinced of the fearful
blunder they made in forcing the force
bill to the front. The plain people are
jealous of those political liberties which
are near at home. The local and State
officials whom they elect directly are of
moro and closer Importance than the
remote Federal administration. Rev.
enue officials and appointees of far-off
Washington are remote and regarded
with suspicion when given power to
interfere with local matters.
A singular feature Of the campaign in
the North is the lack of enthusiasm
Neither party is indulging in fireworks
or torchlight professions. The cam
p3lBH IL more tnan even before one or eu
ucation. The impression gains ground
every day that 90 per cent. OF the voters
have made up their minds how they
will vote and have accordingly settled
down quietly till election day. If the
roofs could be taken off the heads of the
great American public and the contents
noted, tabulated and summed up we
would know at once how the cleo lion
will result
The great danger at present lies in
the use of money on election day. 1t is
too we'll known that close States have
been repeatedly carried by the direct
bribery of voters at tho polls In sew
eral of the Northern States this has
been carried on to an extent Of which
the South has no conception. The op.
Grafton of the Australian ballot system,
now in vogue in a m ajority OF the North
ern States will have tendency to check
this use OF money to corrups voters, and
on its successful prevention depends in
largo measure the result on November
8. At present it locks like Cleveland
and Stevenson.

Special Policeman Folkes Tried by Mayo
Trout for Beating IA Prisoner.
The charges preferred against Officer
Folkes by Owen Duggan were heard be-
fore Mayor Trout yesterday evening at
6 o'clock. They were to the effect that
on Saturday night, without any cause,
Folaes arrested Charles Steptoe and hit
him over the head with a club Messrs.
Duggan, knepp and Lewis testified that
the negro was inoffensive in every re-
spect, and that they had known him a
long while and none had ever heard him
make use of an oath, and they all con-
sidered him truthful
officer Folke testified that he was on
his beat on Campbell avenue that night
and Steptoe came to him and told him a
parcel OF white men in East Roanoke
had attacked him and struck him several
times and wanted him to arrest them.
The officer explained the matter to the
darkey and told him warrant would
have to be issued before he would have
any authority to act in the matter.
At this Steptoe became angry and
used some very loud and boisterous Ian.
gUage and started off Fokes also stated
that Steptoe struck him with stick be-
fore he touched him with his club and
he was drunk. This the colored man
positively denied in his statement, and
when asked by Mayor Trout how hard
he was struck replied, Hard enough for
the lick to flung mo-
After hearing all the evidence Mayor
Trout reserved his decision until this
morning.
