THE MABRY BENEFIT.
Abont $275 For the Widow of
the Murdered Officer.

The benefit for the relief of Mrs.
Mabry occurred at the Opera House last
night and was witnessed by almost $50
people. This number does not repre-
sent tho number of tickets sold, as the
policemen have not yet made their re-
turns. 1t is estimated that the officers
have sold at least 125 tickets, which
will bring the grand total up to about
S275, which will be given to the widow
of the late officer.
The entertainment was very sue
cessful one. and everything passed off
without hitch. Professor Kelly, of
Philadelphia, acted as referee, and
Professor Turner presided at the piano.
The Roanoke Machine Works Band
gave concert in front of the house
before the show, and also rendered
some music in the house. The band
played with its usual spirit, and the ex-
cellent music was greatly enjoyed by
all.
The programme consisted of boxing,
wrestling and an exhibition of roller
skating by John j. Christian, the cham
pion colored skater of the world. His
performance was an excellent one and
received deserved applause. The box
ing contests were all spirited, espe-
cially that of Prof. Layton and Murphy
for the wind up.
The wrestling match between Profess
sor Layton and Professor Mann was an
nouEced to be the best two in three
falls.
The first bout was very spirited one,
and after much hard work the fall was
given to Layton. Professor Mann was
dissatisfied with this decision, and the
other two bouts will be wrestled to- night
at the clubs gymnasium.
Taken altogether the benefit was a
very successful one, and much credit is
due Messrs. Brennan and Layton for
the manner in which it passed off.
WATCHING SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
Three Men Supposed to BE Burglars Under
the Eyes Of the Police.
The police think they have spotted
the safe blowers or at least a part of
them. Three very suspicious men were
observed Thursday night and their
actions closely watched by several of
the force. They were white men and
soon discovered that they we're being
watched. This discovery probably has
caused them to leave town or seek some
place of hiding, as the men were not seen
yesterday The police declined to give
any details concerning the matter, foar-
ing 1T woald interfere with their detec-
ton and arrest. However, they are on
the alert and if the same mon reappear
and give the slightest evidence of being
crooks they may get into trouble.
