Carrie Pruitts House Destroyed From
the Explosion of u Lamp.
By the explosion of a lamp in tho
dwelling owned by Ellen Sheldon,
colored, and occupied by Carrie Pruitt,
white, located on Sixth avenue, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, a dis
astrous conflagration occurred about II
o'clock last night.
The first alarm turned in at box II
only called the Friendship Company
and when the hose was found mad eouate
and an attempt was made to send in a
second alarm for the Vigilants, the
wires would not work; thus fully twenty
minute elapsed before stream could
be turned on.
The flames quickly communicated to
the adjoining dwelling owned by Jesse
and Elijah Brown and occupied by
Henry Moddler, and favored by stiff
breeze soon reduced both structures,
together with the most of the contents,
to ashes. a small grocery just west of
the Sheldon dwelling was also slightly
damaged. The losses are as follows:
Ellen Sheldon, loss $4,000; insurance,
1900; Carrie Pruitt, loss $4,000, insur-
ance, 81 400; Jesse and Elijah Brown,
loss 81 200, insurance not ascert ained;

GETTING IN GOOD SHAPE.

There is some entirely unnecessary
rossip afloat concerning the Norfolk
and Western railroad and receiver
ship. Roads do not go into the hands
OF receivers until they are unable to
nav their fixed charges. The Norfolk
and Western is not only able to pay its
fixed charges, but its affairs arc getting
on yery we'll and the present outlook is
for steady improvement from now on
really from the first CT March on. 1t
has the semi annual interest to pay the
list OF May on two series of bonds, the
Norfolk and Western general mortgage
forty-year coupon bonds, maturing in
1881, and the Scioto Valley and New
England first mortgage loan, maturing
November 1, 1887. Tho semi-annual
interest charge on the first is S91S,49o
and on the second 100000, total of
S51s. 400. To m et this the road had
nearly $500, 900 held up by passing the
last dividend, the months earnings
yielded moro than 100000 addi-
tioDal, and the April earnings will
net still more. The road will have over
$500, 900 in it's treasury May l.

The Most Brilliant Review In American
History Promised.
Fort MONROE, Va, April 15-The
gayest resort in the country to day is
in a state of feverish excitement over
the expected arrival of the British feet
next Monday, headed by the finest speci-
men of foreign marine architecture that
will be at the review, and upon which
more interest is conferred than will fall
to any other war vessel in the Roads
next week. Admiral Gherardi expects
the Britishers to arrive early Monday
morning, and to be followed next day
by three Italian ships and possibly tn O
French and Brazilian vessels The
third Russian, which has been due for
some daye, has not yet made her ap.
pearancc, but may drop in UneXpect-
edly at any moment.
Inspector General Breckenridge, in
full regalia and accompanied by two staff
officers, started the guns to firing on
the Philadelphia, when at ten o'clock he
paid an official call upon Admiral
Gherardi and an hour later they again
belched forth the number due his rank
when he departed over the ships side
Following the generals launch we're
any number of others from the feet
taking visitors TO see the ships
Last week before tho naval rendez-
vous proper was closed with the brilliant
german given by the ladies OF Hygeia
Hotel to the Russian and American
officers OF the fleet in the roads, sixty
beautifully gowned women danced with
nearly as many uniformed officers of the
Navy, half a dozen army officers sta
toned at the post and the few civilians
who were fortunate enough to BIO in
cluded among the guests.
The ladies to day dete, mined to let
down the bars and include few of the
army men and civilians in their list, as
it was not considered courteous to como
on the promontory of the army and not
invite them.
Every ship in the roads whose officers
could be spared sent her quota to either
dance with the girls or look on with the
captains and admirals. at 0 o'clock
the german began and lasted until mid
night. Admirals Gherardi, Benham and
Walker were present with their STATS
and watched the dance. Every section
of the country was represented by its
own type of beauty.

coNoERNING WATER METERS.

There is feeling of dissatisfaction
among the water consumers of the city
over tic placing of water meters IN
houses. The rate OF 25 cents per 1000
gallons is to be charged by meter
measurement. New York city charges
only 1874 csnts thousand gallons,
Columbus 10 cants, Philadelphia cents
and Staunton about half the rate CT koan-
oke. OF course the Roanoke Gas and
Water Company has shown commehaa'
BILE enterprise in laying mains and nave
expended large sums OF money, but
the figures will show that rate of 90
cents per 1000 gallons to private con-
sumers with liberal allowance at re-
duced rate to manufac turing establish
ments will, on the present consumption,
increase the gross revenues from water
about 20 per cent. There is moreover
general disposition to insist that the
water meters be SO placed that they can
be easily read and inspected by the con-
sumers as we'll as by the inspector for the
gas and water company. at the present
rate OF consumption householder gets
about 10000 gallons for S25 year,
while by the use Of the meter he only
gets 100, 900 for the Same money. There
is moreover grave question as to the
right OF the company to insist on the
general use OF meters. II storekeeper
kicks against having one put in and
chooses to fight it what can the Gas and
Water Company do about it? Just
look at the agreement between the city
and the Gas and Water Company on
at point, as accepted by the latter.

Professor Colonna, assistant superiu-
tendent of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, told the writer week
ago that when the present city survey
was completed Roanoke would have the
best and most complete survey of any
city in the country. Which is O pretty
stiff com pliment, as Professor Colonna
is the practical working head of ono of
the greatest and most accurate works of
survey the world has ever seen. No
one but those on the inside know tho
thoroughness OF tho government survey
work. During the war the effectiveness
of the Federal blockade was largely
duo to the effectiveness, of this work.

The Arrests at Beaufort.

COLUMBIA, s, c., Nov. 28.-Assistant
Attorney General Buchanan returned
from Beaufort, where he was sent by
Governor Tillman to supervise the
arrests of the men who assaulted Con.
stables Swan and Strobel. He saw to
the arrests of eight white men and six
negroes. They were arrested by the
sheriff of the county, taken before q
trial justice, waived prellminaries and
gave bonds for their appearance at
court. Among those arrested was the
acting mayor of the town, q man
named Townsend; the colored chief of
police, J. E. Grant, NJ. ?. Stopperbein,
a wealthy Northen man; B. L. Cal
houn, II. Harrison: q man named
O'Rouke, and a man named Opland.
The first three, it is alleged we're lead
ers of the mob. The arrests will con-
tinue until every msu in the mob has
been arrested. The riot, says Mr.. Blu.
chanan, was commenced by handful
of white men, who urged everybody
to join in 1t, and were instrumental In
urging them on. The sheriff was fired
upon twice while going home. The
men have been arrested on three chnrg-
es: Resisting an officer in the dis
charge of his duty; assault and battery
of a nigh and aggravated nature; and
riot.

A T.ller's Narrow Escape.

ROANOKE, Va, Nov. 24.-a. F. Low,
ing, former paying teller of the First
National Bank of this city, who was
indicted on October % for embezzling
$500 from the funds of the bank, was
tried IN the Hastings Court today and
acquitted. The jury returned a YER
dict of not guilty after fifteen minutes
deliberation. The defence was ably
conducted by the counsel for the &C
cused, Messrs. Wright & Hoge, and
Col. John E. Penn. The prosecution
failed to prove that Loving actually
took the money, Or that there had been
a real embezzlement. The evidence
was to the effect that Loving, while
teller at the bank. vas careless and
negligent, and often In cashing checks
would overpay large sums, sometimes
paying out as much as $1,000 in excess
of the face of the check presented. 1t
was shown to be likely that Loving
made these mistakes, and when he
found the shortage in his accounts fall
siied the figures, hoping to hide the
matter temporarily until the shorting
could be made good. The verdict,
which was in accordance with the in.
structions and the evidence, was re-
ceiyed with applause by the audience
In the Court room.
