Lynching at Roanoke.

Roanoke, Va, September 20.-Robert
Smith, a negro. today assaulted and
nearly killed Mrs. Henry Bishop, th
wife of a well-to-do farmer of Botetourt
county. Mrs. Bishop was at the markc
with a load of produce and Smith bought
box of grapes. He asked her to go
with him to get the money, and taking
her to house near by locked the door
and bovnd her. Then, drawing a razor.
he demanded her money. She gave it
up, and while doing so ojelked the razor
from his hand. The negro then choked
her, threw her down and pounded her
head with brick, leaving her for dead.
Mrs. Bishop shortly after regained con-
sciousness, and returning to the market

A despatch received in London states
that Admiral Mello, commanding the

declaring that unless the city surrenders
at once he will renew the bombardment,
with all the strength of his command.
There is panic in the city. Nobody

The house of Cochran the man who
robbed the mint at Philadelphia, has
been found to contain a steel safe hidden
behind sliding panel over mantel
piece. In the cellar there is a myster-

contains several secret drawers. In the
house are several dozen large calico um-
breilas which Cochran had made to order
and a large amount of wearing apparel
which has never been worn. There are
also fifteen or twenty pairs of boots.
The house would seem to give pretty
good evidence that it's owner was mental
ly unsound.

How the Report Originated.

! Boston, Septem Der 2O. O.-Ine New Lon
don Day has it that General Hyde may
be induced to move his iron works from
Bath to New London. In an interview
stated that, if his plant was located at
New London, he thought he could con-
troll the steel ship repairing of New York
and Boston, and in facB most of the re-
pairing of the Atlatic coast, the city is so
easy of access and has all the natural
advantages for the industry The Bath
iron works employ 750 men, and Gen.
Hyde, in reply to the question if induce
ments could be made large enough to get
the company to locate at New London,
said it was possible.
The Day suggests that the proper
authorities, the mayor and the board of
ter at once.
Gen. Hyde was seen by a Boston Herald
reporter last evening at Young's hotel.
He said: "When was in New London
the other day l received great many
CONGRATULATIONS on the fine record made
by the Castine in her recent trial Some
one, more.s as joke than in serious
earnest, asked me why it wouldn't be a
good plan for us to move to New London.
I laughed, and answered, Perhaps we
will if you hold out sufficient induce
mentS'.
"Ot course, the point lies in the use
I made of the word sufficient we would
start for China if the Cinnamon made us
a satisfactory proposal To induce us to
leave Bath would require pretty big
offer, but, on the other hand, it must be
confessed that New London has excep
tional advantages for the building and
preparing of steel vessels, owing largely
to its proximity to New York"
