Making Fight For the Seat.
PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 25.-At the
last Congress sional election Col. J..
Thomas Goode, of Mecklenburg county,
Third party candidate for Congress from
the Fourth Congressional district of
Virginia, was defeated by the Demo
cratic Candidate, Hon. James F. Epes,
of Nottaway county Col. Goode, after
the election, claimed that he and not
Mr.. Epes had been elected. and on tho
cath Of last December, through counsel,
served upon Congressman Epes notice
of contest, to which Congressman Epes
has within the past day or two made his
reply.
Congressman Epes says the notice Of
contest served upon him was vague and
indefinite. while the United States stat
utes require that every notice of con.
test shall specify with reasonable Ger.
tainty the particular acts relied on by
the contestant to sustain his general
charge. The friends of Congressman
Epes believe that Colonel Goodies no.
tice may be dismissed on this ground.
No doubt Is entertained, however, of
the ability Of Congressman Epes to meet
even the charges with testimony easily
sufficient to entitle him to his seat with
out resortiDg to the motion to dismiss.

BRILLIANT GATHERING.
The Grand Democratic Banquet
at Richmond.

RICHMOND, Jan. 25.-(Special)-Th
grand Democratic banquet tonight in
celebration of the recent victory was in
many respects most successful. The
promoters, however, were somewhat
disappointed owing to the limited num-
Der OF prominent mon present from out
side of the State. Virginia, however,
was fully represented.
Tie following gentlemen reached the
city at 1925 p. IN. from Washington to
attend tho banquet: Senators Daniel
and Hunton; Congressman w. L. Will
son, of West Virginia: John Allen, of
mississippi; w. G. p. Breckenridge, of
kentucky; Wise, Jones and Lawson,
OF Virginia; Holmes, Conrad, j. G.. NJ
Curry and Judge John Il. Harris, Con-
grossman.elect; ID. Gardiner Tyler and
Lyon G. Tyler, OF William and Mary
College; Thomas II. Carter, FL. L. Will
son and Lee Robinson and wife, of
Washington, ID. c. Col. G. S. O'Ferrell
came last night. Gen. Fitz Lee came
also day. Ex-Secretary OF the Treas
ury Fairchild, of New York, came this
evening.
The banquet was very brilliant
affair. The menu was most elaborate
one and wit and humor followed in I'M
broken streams.
The following is n list of the toasts
and the names of those who responded:
The President-elect and tho Demo
cratic party: Through answering adher-
ence to principle tho indomitable self
reliance OF the one, the triumph of the
other-has been achieved q triumph
which secures to the country an Amerl
,.~r t.,% -,
name.
Hon. w. c. P. Breckenridge, OF Ken
lucky.
Tariff reform: The Democratic party
champions the cause which defeat could
not induce it to surrender and which no
success short OF complete accomplish
ment can tempt it to neglect.
Hon. w. l.. Wilson, of West Virginia.
The lessons of the election: The peo-
pie have spoken. Their verdict is
reduction of governmental expenditure
and taxation, an honest currency, a
pension list purged of fraud, and the
repeal of all laws which sanction Federal
interference with elections.
Hon. Charles s. Fairchild, of New
York.
Commercial fruits of the Democratic
triumph: An immediate revival OF
business, the harbinger of prosperity.
will follow the removal of unjust re-
strictions of foreign trade, the wild ening
OF our markets, and the pledge Of peace,
order and wise conservatism afforded
by the former administration and recent
election of our Democratic standard
bearer.
Hon. John M. Allen, of Mississippi.
The Northwest: The imperial gilt of
Virginia to the Union. A community
of rests-commercial and indus
strengthens the ties that bind
the States of that great dominion to
their common mother.
M. E. ingalls,, of Cincinnati
Virginia: The laws which must gov
ern true republic were in her youth
defined and established by her states
men. In her maturity she sits serenely
and joytully at their fresh and over
whelming recognition.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia.

ROANOKE. VA, JANUARY &c. 1893
A BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES is now preparing q special
edition which will make every Roam
oker proud of Roanoke. 1t will be
primarily building edition, giving a
full detailed statement of the phen-
omcnal bull ling boom of 1892. This
will be given with all its ramifications
and attendant circumstances There
will be also synopses of previous years
growth and an extensive forecast of the
development of 1898.
But an attempt to confine the edition
to these facts alone will be i'm
possible. Tho edition will tell of
an unparalleled industrial and CONNER
oial development. 1t will contain Stats
tical tables on many important matters
in Roanoke's progress. 1t will show
what the outside public and not few
Roanokers are unaware of-that the
liquidation of real estate obliga-
tions exceeds that of any year
to figures far in excess OF those
of any city in Virginia. It will show
by this that notwithstanding the in
vestment of hundreds of thousands Of
dollars In building, the citizens of
Roanoke have reduced their aggregate
Indebtedness by figures running into
the millions.
If The TINES has any mission to per-
form in issuing this edition it is to back
up the efforts Of the courageous business
men OF Roanoke who have put their
brains, their muscle, their hearts and
their fortunes into the hard, unremit-
ting fight which is going to win for the
Magic City, the crown of commercial
and industrial supremacy over any city
between Washington and Now Orleans.
THE TIMES desires to call especial at
tention to this edition and desires the
cooperation of every citizen OF Roanoke
in placing it in the hands of as many
people as possible. Every man who has
an interest in Roanoke must have it,
and every one who may be induced to
take an interest should have it,
