About six months ago my little SON, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
oltOn his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Tried several reme-
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. l concluded
to try the ,CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought

and bottle of CUTICURA REsOLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CuTIcURA SoAr.

This is the third serious riot which
Roanoke has witnessed within two years.
The first was the winter of 1892, when
Charles Lavender, a notorious negro
thief, was taken from the house of a
policeman. where he had been secreted
by the authorities for safe keeping, and
lynched by mob of 200 men at 2 o'clock
in the morning. His offense was the
attempted assault of a 12-year-old girl,
of which he made confession. The in
vestigation which followed failed to dis
close the names OF any participants.
In March, 1892, a drunken white man
was arrested charged with attempting a
similar offense on the person of a 3-year-
old girl. A large mob storlned the sta
tion-house in which he was confined and
secured possession OF his person but re
leased him because Of a doubt as to his
guilt, which was never satisfactory dem
onstrated He was acquitted of the
charge, and Is well>known citizens were
indicted by the grand jury for PARTIES
pating in the riot.
Acting Mayor R. A. Buckner has as
sumed charge Of the city government
and has suspended Chief Of Police Terry
Sergeant Griffin and Officer M. G. Nor
ris pending an investigation of their
connection with the affair.

At the break of day hundreds began
to throng all the streets leading to the

verdict that he came to his death at the
hands of mob of unknown men,

afternoon.
PLEADING WITH THE MOB.
Rev. DIR: Campbell and Captain R. B.
Norman, pleaded with the excited peo-
pie to spare the city so disgraceful a
scene, They caught the rope by which
the negro was hanged and resisted their
efforts to carry out their threats, with
main strength as well as words. These
gentlemen were dragged some distance
but finally persuaded the crowd to de
sist. Captain Norman hired a wagon,
the body was placed in it, and report
er driving, and the crowd followed from
the scene of the lynching, growing as it
moved along. About 500 yards above
the narrow-gauge bridge on the banks
of the Roanoke river, the crowd halted.
The body was then taken out of the
wagon and dragged to convenient spot
where it was proposed to,enact the last
scene of the horrible drama.

very likely that some of the silver men

THE NEW LAW.
No More Chinese VIII Be Deported
for Six Months.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Attorney Cen
eral Olney today sent the following
order to United States Attorney Den
mis-, at Los Angeles, California, regard
ing the deportation of Chinese:
Excepting the Chinese felons here
tofore convicted, the act passed by
congress discontinues all pending pro-
ceedings taken under the fifth section
of the Geary act, as originally enacted.
The Chinese felons heretofore convict
ed and now subject to deportation un-
der the said act as amended by the act

A similar order was also sent to the
district attorney for the northern dis
trict of California. The state depart
ment has, 1t is said, received assurances
from the Chinese minister that he will
induce his countrymen now in the
United States to comply with the Geary
act as amended, and 1t is believed that
the law will receive the moral support
of the Six Companies.

Chicago, Nov. "A disgraceful riot
occurred in the city council chamber
today when the aldermen met to elect
a successor to the late Mayor Harrl-
son. The rivalry for the chairmanship
of the meeting was so intense that
there were number of fist fights In
the chamber almost las soon as the
session opened. Quiet was finally re-
stored and Alderman McGillen, DEM
ucrat, was chosen chairman. A reso-
Il tion was passed for holding special
election on the third Tuesday of this
month for mayor. Pending that elec-
ton it was necessary to elect a mayor
pro tenn, and this precipitated another
scene of disorder in which the police
were called in to preserve order. Swift
was finally nominated for mayor by
the republicans, and MCCLELLAN was
nominated by the democrats. The vote
resulted in "a for Swift and SO for
McGillen, and one blank. The chair
called no election The repuDncanS pro-
tested, and left the chamber, but the
democrats, fearing a trick, remained
in the chamber. At the end of an
hour the republicans returned and the
session was regularly adjourned. Coun.

with the waves until within four hum
dred feet of the long dock at South
Beach, where the men were TO disem-
bark. The sail was just lowered when
a sudden squall struck the boat BY
quick work the yawl was kept from

For a few minutes the men We're sue
cessful In keeping the yawl afioat, but
a large wave struck the boat and filled
her completely. The yawl sank, leav-

rescuers could reach the spot where
the men were struggling In the water,
nine had gone down for the last time.

j Washington Nov. 4-The populist
members of congress today issued an
address appealing to the people to take
up the silver cause. II is significant
that the name of Senator Jones, OF Ne
vada, appears among the signers of
the document The address calls atten-
ton to the fact that the arts require
almost the total gold production, and
says that the decrease In the volume of
| this metal caused by the boarding of
1t. has caused 1t to appreciate forty or
fifty per cent The address continues.
1.-THE repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act destroys silver as
money of ultimate redemption, and re-
float only by it's redemption in gold
One billion, one hundred million dollars
of paper and which is silver now IN
circulation, must rest upon less than
$780, 600. 900 of gold in the treasury as
available for redemption. The only
reason for demonetizing silver was to
enhance the value of gold and obliga
tions payable in money" The address
asserts that the sherman act interfered
with the establishment of a gold stand
ard, and the New York and London
bankers and the present administration
in the United States, and the Glad
stone administration in England, have
conspired to force its repeal The doc
ument ends with an appeal to the peo-
pie to study the question, and says:
'"Trust no man who has once betrayed |
you. Put no faith in any president

by Senators PETER, Jones, Stewart

Davis, Baker, Boon, Bell. Harris, Hud-

officers I'm citizens dress have been de
tailed to guard the White House and
protect the life of President Cleveland
which Is supposed to be in danger from
n murderous crank who is at large In
his city. Last Wednesday there ar
rived in Washington man who keeps
q restaurant in Boise City, Idaho. The
II ans name the police for the present
refuse to divulge. Yesterday he went
to the chief of police and told his story.
He said aboIt a week ago a miner who
was out of employment came to his
restaurant and in the course of heat
ed discussion about the silver question
and the effects of the repeal bill on the
mining interests of the west, he de-
clared with emphasis that he was go
Ing to Washington and If the Repeal
bill passed Internationally he would
kill the man whom he knew should be
held responsible. The restaurant keep

disappeared from Boise. he concluded
it was his duty to come here and no.
tify the authorities. He arrived on
Wednesday, and that afternoon strolled
up to the White House promenade, and
the first person he saw was the miner
with whom he had had an alteration.
AS soon as the man saw him he took
TO his heels. The restaurant keeper
thought possibly 1t was a case of mis-
taken identity, and he said nothing to
anybody until the next day when he
again went to the White House and
saw the same man lurking there. Then
he knew there was no mistake. He
went to the chief of police and told
his story, giving a full description of
the man. AS a precautionary measure,
a number of officers were detailed to
guard the White House, and detectives
are looking for the man who avows
himself an intended assassin.

San Francisco. Nov 4.-The Stanford
University football team played its first
game of the season today against a
team from the Olympic Athletic club.
Stanford won by score of forty to
nothing. The Olympics put up good
game, but could do nothing with the
college boys. who were their superiors
at every point. While playing quick,
snappy game, similar to last years
style, the Stanford men are heavier
this year. and will be able to play more
of a rushing game. Intense interest Is
already manifested in the big game
between Stanford and the University

superiority is yet to be settled. The

Washington, Nov. AIN reply to in
quiries, it is stated at the treasury de
partment that the actual resumption o
the coinage of silver dollars is not a!
yet ordered, but the mints have beer
directed to manufacture ingots ant
blanks so as to be prepared to resume
coinage on short notice in case it should
be decided to do so. 1.-The mints OF
New Orleans and San Francisco can

pacity of the force now at those places
ccin about 100000 silver dollars q
month";" said an official of the treasury
department today. There will not be
any coinage of silver dollars at the
Philadelphia mint for some time to
come" he continued "as all efforts of
the force now there are concentrated
in turning out gold coins. The seignor-
age of silver will approximate $75O,OOO
per month, the department having paid
for silver purchased under the Sherman
act at the average rate Of 92l@ cents
per ounce"
In view of the expected coinage of
silver dollars the question was asked
whether the treasury department can
issue treasury notes against the selgn-
orage, which, if the whole amount of
bullion were coined, would amount to
about fifty million dollars.
The Official of the department to
whom the question was put, replied
that such notes could not be issued
against the seignorage, and in support
of his assertion quoted the following
clause from the Sherman law;
But no greater or lesser amount of
such (treasury) notes shall be outstand-
ing at any time than the cost of the
silver bullion and standard dollars
coined therefrom, than held III the
treasury on the purchase of such
notes"
He said, however, that the seignorage
could be deposited in the treasury and
silver certificates could be issued
against them, which would bring about
the same result as the issuance of
treasury notes, so far as increasing
the circulating medium was concerned,
But they will be redeemable only in
silver and not in gold and silver, as
