"A Very Important Feature OF City Lifc.
A Museum of OutIawry.
A TINES reporter called at tho Office
OF Captain Baldwin's Detective Agency
on Jefferson street yesterday and was
highly entertained by what he saw.
Several cold chills kept chasing each
other up and down his vertibral column
as he looked at the various guns"
taken from old 6esperadocs, tho pieces
of homp cut from tho hangman's moose,
tho bullet taken from wounds, the
knives formerly used by cutthroats and
in fact veritable museum OF outlawry
is presented in the detectives cabinet.
great variety Of brace cts" and
"ho bbe" and chains and all the para
phernalia incident to the arrest OF GRIM
inalS are to be seen on the walls.
Ono would naturally conclude from
all this that q detectives life was 4
very stirring ono, which is true, but the
gontlemcn engaged in tho work arc
thoroughly agreeable and so courteous
that one would imagine that an arrest
at their hands would be pleasure. Blu.
you can't always sometimes tell about
tn $50 things until you try um."
Capt. Baldwin does very extensive
business and has been, and is yet,
powerful factor in the development and
civilizing of the West Virginia coal
region. A vast deal of trouble has been
averted through the timely intervention
OF Baldwin's detectives and they do as
much in tho direction of suppressing
and preventing crime as in the arrest of
criminals. In fact, it is difficult to esti-
mate the good done by such an institu-
ton and it is another evidence of the
cityhood Of Roanoke that Capt Baldwin
has established his headquarters in this

TIE EXTRA SESSION.

1t is apparently settled that there
will be no extra session of Congress in
the spring, with the probability of a
few weeks extra time just before the
regular meeting in December. While
there has been no official announcement
this is understood to be tho result of
the conference between the President.
elect and Speaker Crisp.
This programme is in defiance of Mr..
Clevelands wishes, as it is we'll known
that Mr. Crisp favored an early spring
session. Mr.. Cleveland evidently does
not want Congress to be in session dur
ing the first few months of his admins.
tration.
There are several things which indi-
cate that he intends to be President,
and evidently he does not want to be
annoyed by office seekers. Leaving
out this consideration Mr.. Crisp's policy
appears to be the most reasonable.
The sooner the Democrats accomplish
their work, the better for the party and
for the country. The real meaning Of
the election should be made to take
practical effect. Under Mr.. Crisp's
plan the committees would have been
organized and ready for reports imme.
diately upon the assembling OF Con.
gress, and apparently tho revision of
the tariff greatly expedited. However,
the present programme is not unalter-
ably fixed, and the future developments
are of the untathomed mysteries.
