A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.

A singular coincidence, in which
the name of Jay Gould, Americas late
railway king, is associated, is thus re-
lated by an eastern journal;
Did you ever stop to think said a
prominent railroad official, "that the
troubles which have lately been over
whclmiDg the Georgia Central rail-
road begun Immediately after Cover
nor Northern saw fit to enub Jay
Gould? 1t has only been year or so
ago and the incident Is familiar to
most newspaper readers. Jay Gould
had recently acquired a considerable
interest in the Central, and was max
ing Il tour of inspection over the road
The Georgians, after the manner OF
those enterprisiDg people when a
prominent man comes within sight OF
their territory, fell to making much OF
the multi-millionaire. They dined,
wined, feted and made public speech
90 70 him. The climax was reached
IN Atlanta.
oThe railroad king was given bar
quet, and Governor Northen was In
vited to attend. lie did not do 80
not only that, he wrote letter of de-
clination, in which he said in substance
that he considered Jay bad citizen
and that he did not have any desire
to make bis acquaintance The affair

created quite furry in the newspa-
pers. II was seven days wonder,
and then was forgotten by the public
generally. But you will observe that
the Central has been in hot water
ever since. OF course it may be mere
ly coincidence, but it seems worth
mentioning, especially just now, when
new evidence of the Gould influence
over the road has been given"

Where Wakeiulness has It's Birth.

Intelligent physicians are regarding
with an eye less and less favorable the
use of narcotics. While these are used
in extreme cases to afford greatly
needed temporary relief, professional
efforts are far more generally direct
ed, now days than formerly to means
of buildingup the nervous system at
the basis of its quietude. This is one
reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters has received the sanction of ply
siciaus as a nervine tonic, Indigestion
unrelieved ia the fruitful father of in-
somnia, and the relief of the parent
malady by the Bitters is usually fol-
lowed by return TO tranquil sleep.
Overwork, mental anxiety, sedentary
habits impair digestion and weaken
the nerves. The bitters strengthens
them by renewing the ability to digest
and assimlate the food. Besides this
it beautifully stimulates the liver and
kidneys, Bilousness, constipation,
rheumatism and debility are remedied
by this sterling medicine.

Roanoke for some time was given at
st. James Methodist Church in Melrose

feature was the Waiter drill" in
which twenty eight young ladies in
appropriate costumes as walters went
through the manual Of arms, and, in
lieu of guns, carried the mere effective
weapon, lat festival atleast), a waiter,
upon which later on ice cream was
served. During the drill beautiful
march was played on the church organ
by Miss Carrie Bacchus. At the con-
clusion Of this interesting perform nee
lawn party was held on tho vacant lot
adjoining the church. The grounds
were splendidly illumined. and the
tables were artisticaily decorated with
flowers and loaded down with things to
eat which looked good. Both the
entertainment and the lawn fete were
we'll patronized, and q considerable sum
OF no oney was realized for the benefit OF
the Ladies Aid Society of st. James.

TWO LOVING HEARTS.
a Stern Parent Fails to Keep
Them Apart.

June. the month of roses. is also the
popular month for marriages, and it is
noticeable that in this month, standing
just midway between spring, when
youthful fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love, and the golden summer, that an
unusually large number OF nuptial
knots Of tho elopement variety are tied.
Why this is cannot be explained, but
the fac. remains that when two young
people of opposite genders want 70 get
married Love will ind way"
One Of these romantic marriages was
made by two young Roanoke people at
Winston, n. C., yesterday. For some
time Pryor Fitzgerald, popular, sober,
energetic and industrious eighteen. year
old EN- ploye of the Roanoke Machine
Works, and Miss Lillian Jennell, the
pretty and vivscious sixteen-year old
daughter Of j. Jennell, a well'known
citizen of Roanoke street 8. w. have
been basking in the sunlight of each
others smiles and resolved they would
tread the pathway of life together
The young lady's parents objected to
their daughter forming matrimonial
alliance so early in life, and for several
weeks have kept close watch on her
and never let her so out alone. Means
of com munication were found, how
ever, and plans for an elopement were
made.
The lovers intended TO go to Lynch
burg Tuesday night on the last train
and from here TO Durham to be married.
A short while before the train was due
the young Romeo, accompanied by his
friends, A. w. Herman and Harry Hester,
repaired to Mr.. Jennells residence,
when Miss Lillian raised the window
OF her room and leaped TO the ground
from the second story, a distance of
fifteen feet. The young lady sprained
her ankle by the fall and suffered acute
pain. She was carried to the steps of
ST. Johns Church while a carriage was
procured from DR.. Whites livery
stable and the injured young lady was
taken to Mr.. Fitzgerald's mothers
home in Belmont addition. DR.. Lewis
was sent Tor and did what he could to
alleviate the suffering OF the yonng
lady.
Another carriage was procured and at
o'clock Yesterday morning the lovers
and a. w. Herman and the groom's
sister in.l law, Mrs D C. Fitzgerald,
drove TO Boon's Mill. in Franklin, where
at Q o'clock yesterday they took the
Roanoke and Southern train for Win.
ston, arriving there at o'clock. Ar
ranGementS were maze DY Telegraph
and few minutes after l o'clock, in
the passenger coach, in the presence Of
the mayor and a large number of citi-
zens of Winston, Pryor Fitzgerald and
Lillian Fennell were bound together by
that tenderest OF all ties-marriage.
The north bound train waited fifteen
minutes for the ceremony to be per-
formed, and the young and happy couple
arrived q Roanoke at -:lO last evening,
and were driven from the Roanoke and
Southern depot TO the home of the
groom's brother, D. c. Fitzgerald, in the
Belmont addition, where they are at
present.
The father of the young lady dis.
covered her absence from home, and
watched the Norfolk and Western trains
Tuesday night. Mr.. Fitzgerald will
continue TO work at the Roanoke
Machine Works, and Will reside in the

The Unwritten Law.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FrOm the PhlIhdeIph1a Times.
The truth may as we'll be looked
squarely in the face both North
and South, and let the confession be
made that there are few communities
in any section OF the country where
lynch law would not be provoked by
negro assaults upon white women
However unjustifable, it is the truth,
and it Is not wise to attempt to conceal
it. The prejudice of race doubtless is
an element in this lawless punishment,
but the more brutal passions of the
ignorant race have mad much influence
in the summary execution OF the negro
for pffenses. against women, and it may
now be accepted as the unwritten law
OF all sections to pc applied, as rule,
in cases OF such revolving crime.

ROANOKE, VA. JUNE s, 1899.
RoANoKE's POPULATION.

Commissioners Turner estimates the
population of Roanoke al over 1900,
and as he is O careful and conservative
Judge, he is probably within few hun
dreds of the right figure. This is re-
markable showing. There has been
nothing within the past year TO bring
new people to Roanoke and the increase
is undoubtedly principally from inter
nal growth, heavy birth rate and
light death rate.
In this connection it is in order to call
attention to the fact that Roanoke is
pursuing the even tenor OF its way, not
materially disturbed by the crash Of
nations and wreck of worlds elsewhere.
while banks in the North and West are
breaking by the score Roanoke's fnan-
cial institutions exhibit an unbreken
front of safe and conservative solvency.
The reason is not far to seek. While
the North and West have been skating
along on thin ice for the past two years,
they have not discovered it until they
found themselves foundering in deep
water. On the other hand Roanoke
fnanciers discovered that the city was
on thin ice two years ago, and have
been drawing back toward solid ground
ever since.
AS result Roanoke need have no
fears for the future. While money is
tight and will remain SO until it eases
up all over the country Roanoke has a
bright and assured future before it.
Can the same be said of some of the
ne " aspirants for popular favor? Ger
tainly not of the new gas towns Of
Indiana and Ohio.
They are largely dependent on certain
industries for pport-glass making
being one OF the main supports. Nat
ural gas can be piped in any direction.
Why should one locality be developed
when another equally as good can be
reached by merely turning the gas pipe
in another direction? There seems 10
be too little fxity about gas town for
permanent investment.
