mur1er OF Mr.. and Mrs. Borden, and
from others who threatened him for
prosecuting an innocent woman 1t is
suggested by one spondent that the
friends of Miss Borden should organize
and behead the marshal in public.
Another suggests that the marshal be-
ware, as white caps may overtake him.
Among the articles received by the
marshal is a big leather medal from New
York.
The neighbors say that they have not
yet seen Miss Lizzie Borden about the
yard, although they have noticed her
moving from room to room. She is
gradually recovering from the nervous
strain OF the past months and is again
feeling quite at home. Her sleep is
much better than it has been for many

physical illness. Miss Borden receives

Band Is Going to Pieces
L. II. Frayville and Ed Russell, two
prominent members of the Roanoke Ma
chine Works band, left Roanoke last
night with the intention of taking a
vacation at their homes in the North.
1t is an open secret among the members
that they will not return.
A reporter called on John J. Keelev,
leader OF the band, and asked him why
the mem bers OF the band were leaving.
but he declined to talk about it. He
said that his relations with the band had
always been Of the friendliest character,
and that he was very sorry to see them
leaving; that the band had been Bile to
play the better class of music for the
past two years and he would not like to
see the band dissolve.
Other mem bers said that eight or nine
OF the band had gone and that others
were talking of leaving, that rehearsals
would probably be discontinued, and
that the band could not now credi ABLY
take an engagement. The band had
progressed remarkably under Mr..
Kelley, and the departure of the men
had nothing to do with his leadership.
They also said that unless something
could be done that the band would 20

BY ONE VOTE.
Emperor William VIII Carry His Army
Bill Through.

BERLIN, June 24.-The progress of
to.day's bye elections appears to sup
port the governments calculation that
the re.balloting will give 1t sixty. nine
seats. Taking the adherents OF the
army bill elected on the first ballot at
40, the government will thus have in
the new reichstag 1919 votes out of 397.
A bare majority of one vote is not much
to rejoice over, yet the government or
gans express content with the result.
In Berlin Thursday the national
liberals and centrists voted for Prof.
Rudolf Virchow, candidate OF the radi-
strength OF three parties was not suf-
fcient to defeat Fischer, the candidate
OF the social democrats.
In the first Berlin district, whore a
reballot was also necessary, DR.. Ian
germans, Richter socialist, scored the
first success yet credited to that party.
Everywhere the social dem ocr ats are
polling their last man while the coali-
tions against them are irregular and
INDECENT.
The feature of the campaign has been
the appearance OF large number of
foreign socialits, Czechs and Austrians,
who are assisting the canvass of their
German brethren.
UP to o'clock barely 25 per cent of
the electors had cast their ballots. but
after that hour they came in rolling
tide, the workingmen swelling the
socialist totals.
Basing calculations on the most re.
liable data, the aggregating socialist
vote will fall short OF the 100000 pre-
dicted by Vorwaeres and Cologne Ga
zette. 1t is estimated that their vote
will show an increase of 372 900 over
that polled in 1890. The anti semitic
vote is calculated at 500, 900, being ten
times the number cast by that party in
1890. Both sections of the freissinnige
party cast total vote OF $40, 900, loss
of 3l4 300 votes since 100.
The enormous increase in the anti
semitic vote accounts for the failure of
the socialists to reach the figure they
expected, the anti-semiteS drawing
large proportion of their gains from
electors who would otherwise have voted
for social democratic candidates. The
Norwaerts thereto justly holds that
large part OF TIE anti semitic vote ought
to be placed to the credit of socialism.
The speech OF Emperor William, open.
ing the session OF the reichstag, is
awaited with much anXisty, as the re-
port widens that mis- language will
menace restriction of the suffrage.

TROUBLE IN THE BAND.

Unpleasant news of an authentic ma
ture is published in another column.
Unless steps are taken TO change matters
the Roanoke Machine Works Band will
become seriously disorganzed and an
institution whose history has been in

Some eight or ten members have left
and more may go. A band is not an
organization which can be put together
in a month or hardly in year. 1t does
seem as if so splendid band, in which
everyone connected with Roanoke, from
President Kimball down to the boot
blacks, has an honest pride, should be
made more secure Of it's valuable mon.

Kelley is one OF the best band masters

offer to have his right arm cut off as

SELMA, Ala, June 24.-About one
month ago Leila Woods, daughter OF
white farmer living near here, gave
birth to child whose black skin de.
noted that its father was negro. A
few days ago Dan Edward, a negro
about 81 years of age, was arrested on
suspicion. After much persuasion the
girl confessed that Edward was the
father of the child; that about a year
ago he had raped her, but on more than
once occasion since she had been com.
PEELED to submit to him, as Edward
threatened to poison her whole family
if she told.
Thursday night while officers were
bringing Edwards to Jail here they were
overpowered by mob, who took the
prisoner into the woods and hanged
him. AS the negro swung between
earth and sky the mob literally riddled
his body with bullets. Upon his back
was found pinned yesterday morning
the following card. Warning to all
negroes who are too intimate with white
girls. This Is the work of 100 OF the
