iety by those interested a considerable
pressure was brought to have Mr.. Hooper

a formidable movement to secure new

well qualified for the position, having been
a practicing lawyer in Paris for several
years and therefore acquainted with tho
language and business of the country.

DR.. HAMMER STILL WORKING.
He Charges City Officials With
Opposing Investigation.
Mayor Trout Commended For Prohibiting
Liquor Drinking by the Police on Duty
or In Uniform-The Charges Repeated.
Gambling and Irregularities In the
Liquor Trahic"-Drinking OmclaIs
Scored

Rev. w. +. Hammer preached at
Greene Memorial Church Sunday morn
ing on the "Powers of Darkness" and
took for his text the passage OF scrip.
ture found in Romans, 1878. AS on the
previous Sunday his theme was the evils
OF intemperance in the city. A very
brief synopsis of the discourse is as fol.
lows:
"If any modification had to be made
OF my sermon OF May it would be with
plus and not with minus. To nv
surprise that sermon met with opposi-
tion from the very people that in
tended 1t should benefit the most.
II have conversed with Mayor Trout
over the whole ground, and he has
declared that these things exist in Roa-
noke and has asked that the co.opera-
top OF the preachers be given him.
was also surprised at the opposition in
ofhclal circles, be cause the officials had
agreed to facts and asked for the back
ing OF the moral sentiment of the com.
munity. These men should have raj.
lied to the movement rather than put
the m selves in opposition.
III you ask Mayor Trout he will tell
you that the police do drink whiskey
and he is going to discharge one on
the evidence given before the grand
jury. L was given to understand that
the jury would only investigate the
violations Of the liquor law and didn't
place in their hands the evidence of
the whiskey drinking police. II the
officers had been as active Last Monday
in enforcing the law as they were in
trying to down the preacher that i'm
moral exhibition for men only would
have been suppressed. i congratulate
the mayor, the citizens and the w. C.
L. w., that hereafter tho police force
Will be run on temperance regulations.
There are some honest, conscientious
officers on the police force who are
discharging their duty as they best
can, but IL they class themselves with
the whiskey crowd it is their own fault.
"All the charges in the sermon of last
Sunday night are true. There is gam.
bling and Irregularities in tho LIQUOR
traffic. The drinking officials are here
too. One city official said he only
drank quart day but he was afraid
another official was drinking to excess.
One city official stated before the grand
jury that he didn't buy whiskey on Sun
day because he always laid in supply
on Saturday night.
ut is astonishing how some good men
will fall in line with these bowling
mendicents. While some of them
laughed and criticised my sermon the
devil laughed at what q scene he had
created"

Wounded Sunday.

afternoon by boy of about 12 years of
age, who has since been found out to be
Robert EARLY, who, with his father,
John Early, claim to be from Jelli.o,
Ky, on their way to Coal Valley, w.
Va. The circumstances as they were
brought out in the police court yester.
day morning seen to be that Albert
Wilson went out from home SUNDAY
afternoon in search of his fathers COW
near the rock quarry, when he met two
boys, one OF whom appeared to be drunk
and who said as he forished barlow
knife that he had made up his mind to
cut the first boy he met and he sup
posed he must do so. Wilson broke
Into run and after chase OF some
distance the boys in hot pursuit caught
him and in the alterca ton that followed
Wilson received serious cash under
his left shoulder. Some men who were
passing by ran to his assistance and
found that upon taking off his coat the
wound was bleeding profusely.
The injured lad was quickly carried
home and DR.. 81. E Jones summoned,
who arrived just in time to save the
boy from bleeding to death as the
wound was very near an artery. The
doctor pronounces the wound very seri-
GUS and that the lung may b, pene-
trated.
Police Officer ]. A. Vest was soon on
the ground and had Early under arrest
and lodged in Jail. The desperate
proved to belong to gang of tramps
near the furnace. OF this troupe John
EARLY, Luther Reed, Will Bailey and
Will Barnes were also arrested and
fiued $40 each in the police court yester-
day and consigned to the chain gang.
Robert Early, who.is very repulsive-
looking, unprepossessing youngster, is
still in jail pending the result of the
cutting.
Two boys named Burton Kessler and
Sam Dillon were with young Wilson
when the affair happened, and their tes
timony corroborates in the main the ac.
count given by the wounded boy.
Albert Wilson, the victim of this un.
fortunate affair is brother OF Lizzie
Wilson, whose mysterious and tragic
death on the evening Of the Presidential
election in 1854 near where the Bridge
Works now stands, is still fresh in the
minds OF the people OF Roanoke.

No satisfactory Understanding Reached.

WASHINGTON, May 15-The representa-
tives of Spain and the United States have
not reached satisfactory understanding
regarding the programme of courtesies to
be exchanged between the president and the
1nfanta Eulalie in the course of her stay
in Washington. According to custom the
princess at a convenient period after her
arrival here would call upon president and
Mrs. Cleveland. Whetheror not the presi-
dent should return the call upon the prin-
cess at her quarters in the hotel is the cues
ton upon the settlement of which depends
tho future course of the Infanta The
Spanish representatives insist that the re-
turn visit to the princess is one that is due
by courtesy and should be paid. The sub
ject has been very thoroughly discussed in
Washington and Madrid, and the telegram
from the latter capital expressing an appre-
hension that the Infanta's health would.
not permit her to continue on her journey
to the United States is construed here as
preparing for her return to Spain from
Cuba, if it is found necessary to change
the original programme The situation is

A FARO KINGS FORTUNE.
He Retired Winner and Died Lenv-
ing "a Big Estate i'm California.

James p. Rynders. the faro king
never made much of a talk among the
sports about being a rich man, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. He was one
Of those kind of people who do a whole
lot Of thinking and very little talking
Consequently, when he died In Oak
land a few weeks ago not many of his
friends knew whether he had gone to
his grave a rich or a poor man But
they said that old Jim would not care
because he was alone in the world
never having married.
1t had been years since Jim Rynders
toyed with the kitty" or bucked the
tiger. He had forsaken many of his
old sporting friends and located himself
in a quiet home in East Oakland, where
he spent his last days in peace and nap
piness.
1t was said of him that he had no
worry on account of his gambling days.
for he had lost more money at the gam
bling table than he had ever won. In
fact, he made the greatest loss in the
state, dropping 100000 at one sitting at
faro. That loss is a matter Of history.
But Jim Rynders did not die penniless.
When he retired from the ring of chance
he made a few legitimate speculations,
and the reformed gambler made an hon
est fortune. That is the reason that
he could enjoy life.
Yesterday w. ID. Thomas, John L.
Bromley and James Larne filed in the
Alamada superior court an inventory
and appraisement of the Rynder estate.
II shows that the decedent had S4730
in cash and some mortgages in the East
valued at 81 ,622. He als) held a prom
issory note Of an attorney for 50 263.
The home place in East Oakland is val
ued at $4,000 The Pulgas ranch, in San
Mateo. consisting of 4O4 acres, is valued
