Messrs. Scott and Staples and Colonel
Penn made motion for g new Trial in
the case o. the. commonwealth vs.. d. b.
Mitchell, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary for five years Thursday
evening by the Lynchburg jury.
The grounds upon which the new trial
was asked for were that the verdict was
defective. The motion was argued ex.
tensiyely by the counsel and Judge
Woods reserved his decision in the
matter until 10 o'clock this morning, in
order TO have time to carefully examine
the law on the subject.
Judge Woods refused to grant new
trial to James G Richardson, s. w.
Fuqna and D. D. Kennedy, who were
recently convicted for rioting on Sep.
TENDER 90. The former was fined 500
and sentenced to jail for thirty days.
The two last named were fined 81 each
and sentenced to jail for one day.
Judge Woods remarked that if the re
was such n thing as the commonwealth
making motion for new trial that be
would grant ir on the grounds that il
the parties we're guilty, the punish
mont was too light,
Captain Berkeley. counsel for Mr..
Richardson, asked that the execution
of the verdict be suspended for thirty
days The request was granted.

able young white farmer OF Pike county,

Weinbush.
When the body was found this morn
ing three miles from Concord in Birch

head and face as to make it almost uu-
recognizable by his friends, but the
faithful officers and plucky citizens
soon began a search for tho guilty
parties and soon found negro with a
pair OF brass knucks in his pocket
covered with blood.
This negro brute was arrested, and
confessed the crime, giving the name of
his accomplish. The chief of police
here was notified by wire to look out for
the fond, and detectives from Pike
county have been here all day on the
look out. 1t has just been learned,
however, that both negroes have been
caught, and it is the belief here that
there will be some hemp stretched in

for Smyth county, which will begin on
next Monday, will probably be ad-
journed. The local bar have petitioned
Judge Kelley not to hold court, blu, he
has not yet indicated what he will do,
but little preparations are being made,
and the supposition is that there will be
no court.
Capt. John P. Shelly and d. f. Buch-
anan, mem bers.elect from Smyth to the

WASHINGTON, Dec. L. President
Cleveland to-day appointed First Lieu

Artillery, captain and assistant quarter
master. This appointment was made
under probably the most strenuous
pressure ever brought to bear upon the
President, nearly every first lieutenant
in the army being q candidate for pro-

brought to bear upon the President in
favor OF one or the others of them.

making this change is that the cruiser
is coaled in dock at the Brooklyn navy
yard, and there is no necessity for de-
laying the trial longer. The Now York
will proceed TO sea, and be tested for
forty eight hours in deep water.
The official comparative statement of
the receipts and expenditures of tho

THE OBLIGATION.
How You Can Assist in Secur-
ing a New Road.

The above is copy of the note you
are asked to sign to help bring the new
railroad which is contemplated by the
Roanoke Railway Construct ton Com pany
into this city. Read it over carefully
and decide for yourself if it is not

by you" is meant every public-sp spirited
property holder, whether OF small or
large amount, in the city of Roannke)
not give some assistance to q project
which ostensibly will do SO much for
this community. II the construction
company gets competing line of rail-
road into this city, either the Chesa-
peake and Ohio or the Baltimore and

made out becomes due, otherwise not
II $50 men will sign these notes for
5000 each, the road is assured.
Here are some of the reasons for get
ing the road into Roanoke:
1t will give employment to several
hundred mon in its construction who
will spend most of their money in this
city.
Roanoke will become the central
point for the purchase of supplies neces.
sary in the construction of the road.
When completed it assures Roanoke
cheaper coal, and in consequence of i,s
being competing line. more reasonable
freight rates.
II opens up a new country and in
creases population for our trade.
1t removes the last obstacle to manu-
facturers who are contemplating moving
South and who will not move to u one
railroad city. No real friend to Roam
oke can see anything but good to come
by having road built here as proposed
by the construction company, and no
real friend of the city should hesitate
about promising to pay 5000 to see the
road in operation. Remember it costs
nothing until the road is built and run
ming.
Ponder upon these facts, and if you
think it is worth $500 or SlOO or even $50
to you to have the road constructed,
then cut the above note out or call at
the Office of President R. II. Woodrum,
OF the construction company, and make
out note for just the amount you think
it will benefit you.
Now is tho time to act. Roanoke has
had a long spell OF hard luck; will you
help to change it?
