ITO THE EDITOR OF Tue TIMEs:-To

second day Of February.
CONSTANT READER"
According to the computation Of
timo in 1892, Washington was born on
the 18th of February; by the way time
is now reckoned he was born on the
22nd. Under the Julian calender which
was in use at Washington's birth, the
year consisted of 365h 4 days and was
reconstruction by julius Cnsar Of tho
Roman calendar of 355 days.
Pope Gregory NIII finding Caesars
calendar faulty ordained what is known
as the Gregorian calendar in 1852 This
is now in use, but it's adoption cid not
take place in England until
1851, when it was enacted that
eleven days should be omitted after
September 2, 1852, so that tho ensuing
daY should be the 18th. CAESAR made an
error in calculation. year, in reality,

Assistant Bank Cashier Redwino IL De-
faultcr to the Extent of SGD, 900.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 22.-The disap.
pearance and defalcation of Assistant
Cashier Redwine, OF the Gate CITY Ma.
tional Bank, of this city, is tho biggest
financial sensation Atlanta has known
in years. This morning d thorough
examination of the banks affairs was
made by officers of the clearing house
association and they reported that the
defalcation was about $50. COO, Certainly
not more than that.
They also say that Redwine must
have taken the bulk of this within the
past few days and that he probably left
with thirty or forty thousand dollars on
his person. Tho clearing house officers
declare that the Gate City National
Bank can pay depositors every cent and
can pay stockholders in full. Tho
greatest mystery about the affair is
Redwine's disappearance. Up to this
time absolutely no trace has been found
OF his whereabouts. He walked out of
the bank bareheaded, borrowed a hat
from bartender in q saloon in the
basement of the bank building and
nothing has been seen of him since.
Whether he is in hiding in the city or
whether he happened to catch an out
going train nobody knows. Tue bank
is only half a block from the Union de-
pot and tho latter theory seems the
most probable. 1t is believed that he
has gone West. Redwine has evidently
been living beyond his means for years.
He has been one of the most prominent
mem bers Of the Capital City Club, and
/ t is believed that he has some funds of
the club, the proceeds of recent bond
sale.

The Association of Engineers Of Vir

THE RAILROAD PROPOSITION.

Tho Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
proposition is now fairly before the peo
pie Of Roanoke. 1t needs TO be coolly,
calmly and fairly discussed. Its every
detail should be carefully and minutely
examined, that intelligent action may
be had.
Council will BIO asked to submit to the
freeholders an ordinance authorizing
the issue of 100000 in five per cent.
bonds as the city's subscription toward
the enterprise. This subscription is of
course to be predicated upon the guar
anteeing of 100000 first mortgage
bonds by the Che sapeake and Ohio
Railway Company, and the raising of
100000 subscription to income bonds
by other communities and parties at in
terest.
1t is plain that the business COM
munity of Roanoke and of intervening
points want competing line, but they
want it's independence assured beyond a
doubt. They also want assurance that
no pooling arrangement with existing
lines be made to destroy the advan-
tages which natural competition and
wider field should bring. There should
be no wild leap in the dark in this
matter either for or against the railroad
proposition. We want no repetition of
the Roanoke and Southern experience,
While the Roanoke and Southern is a
valuable acquisition to Roanoke that
100000 was big price to pay for it,
If this new road will be all that it's
projectors claim for it, we'll and good.
The character and standing OF the gen
tlemen who are most closely allied to
the movement are unimpeachable.
They are the foremost and most infu-
entail citizens of Roanoke. They have
been at the front in every important
enterprise which has been fostered here.
The Board of Trade are unit for the
new road, and nine out of ten citizens
will be influenced by their action in the
matter. But cities are so apt to make
bad bargains by not having all the
screws properly frightened that we want
this whole subject gone over as care.

depended on it. Let US get all the
bearings.
