The Big Meeting For Monday Night
Speaking Last Night.
A consolidated meeting of the cleo
ton committee appointed by the Central
Democratic Club was held last night at
7:30 O'Clock at the Old Opera House,
when the committees of each of the five
wards made their final report.
Waller P. Huff was elected chairman
and E. j. Rowan secretary of the meet
ing. The following chairmen and a

ond ward, S. Hamilton Graves; Third
ward, p. @. Greeley; Fourth ward, John
R. Greene; Fifth ward, g. w. Crum-
pecker.
The reports from the different ward 8
showed that the preliminary work has
been done, and the club is we'll pre-.
pared to do effective duty on election
day. The meeting adjourned at $50
o'clock, and number of the memb ers
took the Vinton car for that village to
attend mass meeting there that was
addressed by j. Allen Watts and Capt.
w. w. Berkeley The meeting at Vim.
ton was largely attended, and the

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MAsslMEETING.
All the arrangements have boon per-
tied for the grand mass meeting Mon
dav night at the old Opera House under
the auspices of the Central Democratic
Club. The Roanoke Machine Works
Band has been secured and everything
prepared for a grand rally. 1t is prob

PoPUIIsTS TALK TO THE NEGROES.
The Populists were on the rampage
last night in Roanoke with lurid streaks
OF war paint on their countenances, and
they made Rome howl. PENIS hail in
Old Lick was chosen as the rendesvou
and about 200 of the faithful, nearly ali
colored, gathered early.
After the colored band had played
several vigorous selections the chair
man of the meeting, "Deacon" Ferdi-
nand Hannibus, introduced the first
spell-binder, Jack Garst, candidate
for the legislature. Mr.. Garss sue
ceeding in consuming half an hours
time in which he referred to the finan.
clal oppression OF inc country and had
much to say about the Democratic
party.
G. f. Ward next mounted the rostrum
and spoke for nearly an hour. He made
some heartrending charges against the
administration and urged the negroes to
join the Populist party.
Mr. Ward was followed by Mr.. Porter
in speech OF about Ave minutes, after
which Judge Thomas B. Claiborne next
walked behind the footlights for about
half an hour. Judge Claiberne's speech
was on par with the ones he usually
makes and was decidedly the speech OF
the evening.
Drawing conclusions from this meet
ing 1t is not likely that the Populists
will be able to secure large majority
OF the colored vote of Roanoke.

THE ROBBERS WARM RECEPTION
Smith, Who Gave the Snap Away, VIII
Die-The Other in Jail

Smith, Who Gave the Snap Away, Will
Die-The Other in Jail.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 4.-The PEG.
pie of Knoxville were greatly excited
when they read this morning of an at
tempted robbery OF the express train at
Coal Creek, on the Knoxville and Ohio
road, last night. The plot to rob the
express originated with f. w. Gerdinp,
who served for long time as delivery
clerk in the local express office here.
Jim Smith, his pal. who gave the
snap away and put the authorities on to
it, is bar room loafer. He paid dearly
for 1t as he is in the hospital here and
will die.
Gerding belongs to respectable
family that once possessed considerable
wealth. He is in the Knoxville Jail
and will pay the penalty of his crime.
Chief of Police Atkin, who was shot
in the left arm below the elbow in the
fight at Coal Creek last night with the
would be robbers, had the ball extracted
from his arm to-day and although pain
full, his wound is not considered very
serious.
The time and place for the robbery
were we'll selected, being at night and
at water tank considerable distance
away from the village of Coal Creek.
Had not the express and railroad off,
Gals been previously notified of the at.
tempted robbery and provision made to
prevent it, 1t would doubtless have
proven successful.
There was comparatively little cur
rency in the express car at the time.
The defeat and capture of the robbers
was so complete that it serves as an
emphatic warning to all who may think
OF attempting like robbery in the fu-
ture.

Lynohed the whole Family.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. A special
from Fayetteville, Tenn, says: EARLY
this morning on the farm of Jack
Daniels, near Lynchburg, Ned Wag-
goner, his son Will and daughter Mary
and his SON in-law Motlow were found
hanging to one tree. All the parties
are colored. The only cause to exp ain
their fate is that they were supposed to
have been implicated in the numerous
barn burnings which have taken place
in Monroe and Lincoln counties rec
Gently. There is no clew as to the per.
pertrators of the deed.

THE directors of the Worlds Fair have
given out an official statement to the
effect that the great show has made
enough money to meet all expenses and
pay out of debt and shows up with a
small balance to its credit in the trea-
sury The fair was stupenduous under
taking from the start and there were
many predictions that il would turn out
a big financial failure, but the increased
interest in the attendance for the last
months was far beyond anything antici-
pated, and the gate receipts were simply
enormous. People are still hocking to
Chicago by the hundreds to get sight
OF the big show before it closes finally on
the 81. There is but little time now re-
naming for those who have not attend
ed and II il is desired TO see quite the
greatest exhibition in the whole universe
our advice is that you had better move.
It's more than likely that another humid
red years from now will find you some
