The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-01-23

Readers OF THE TIMES will remember
that few days ago mention was made
of bill containing the proposed cnar-
ter OF the Roanoke Mineral Belt Rail
road Company, which was reported on
favorably by the house committee on
railroads in the Virginia le gislature. 1t
is now entirely probable that the char
ter viii be granted at an early day.
The arrangement of the plans to build
this proposed new railroad have been
effected very quietly and few people in
Roanoke, when reading tho paragraph
referred to, understood the magnitude
OF the enterprise and it's Importance to
the people OF this city The plan briefly
told is this: syndicate OF capitalists,
some OF them living here and others in
other cities, have organized company
and applied for charter to build this
line OF road which will run from Roam
oke through the counties of Roanoke,
Bedford. Franklin and part of Pittsyl
vania and connect with tho Richmond
and Danvllle system at a poin, between
Rocky Mount and Franklin Junction.
IT, w. Crumpecker, a wellknown
attorney, has been retained by the
company to draft the charter, which
work mas been done, with the exception
that 1t does not contain the officers and
board OF directors of the company.
The new road will be about thirty
miles in length, and will run through a
continuous section OF some of the
richest mineral lands in the country.
he two great objects in view is to de-
vclop this mineral wealth that these
counties have been so richly endowed
with, and TO connect the two great
trunk lines, the Norfolk and Western
and the Richmond and Danville
The entire cost of the construc ton of
the road will be borne by tho com pany
and no subscriptions will be asked from
the counties or from the citizens along
the limo. One important fact that
should not be lost sight OF is that 1t is
entirely probable that road will
shortly be built from Pittsburg, Pa di
rectly South, running through Roanoke
and connecting with this line.
Should this be done the Mineral Belt
road would be extended from the point
of intersection on the Richmond and
Danville through North Carolina, thu,
making the now proposed system one of
the longest roads in the country.
This road will not antagonize the
Norfolk and Western road or the Roa-
noke and Northern, but will of necessity
be helper both to the Norfolk and
Western and the new Roanoke and
Nor horn.
The men at the helm of the new
scheme have brains, money, vim and
enterprise and will push their plans
forward until Roanoke is made tho
greatest railroad centre in the State if
not in the South.

MORE HAWAIIAN VIEWS.
a Petition From Some of the
Queens Supporters.

WASHING TON, Jan 22.-The President
transmitted to Congress to-day some ad.
ditionai Hawaiian CORES pondence, but it
was not II sensational character. Min.
ister Willis, under date of January 9th,
reports tho resignation Il Vice Presi-
don't Hatch and the election Of w. G.

petition was brought here last night by
Hon. j. A Cummins. the honorary
president OF the association, and A.
Marques, a member of its executive
council who state that they were q
committee for that purpose"
The Nom orial, which is addressed to
the President. starts out by saying:
The Hawaiian people are moved with
the deepest concern in view OF the
delayed and uncertain condition Of at
fairs in Hawaii and also Of tho active
hostility that seems to have suddenly
developed in the United States against
the policy OF your excellency and the
American Administration regarding our
unhappy little country and the Just
restoration of our national monarchy. :"
1t then reproaches the newspapers OF
America for their 'unchivalrous and
untruthful sbuse of our queen" 1t
asserts:
First Thatthrough Minister Stevens
conspiracy the Hawaiin people have
been deprived OF their political rights.
Second. That the inhabitants Of
Hawaii are now living under an arbi-
trary rule.
Third. That the people have lost all
confidence In the administra sion OF JUS
tice, as tho supreme court is now filled
with adventures
Fourth. That the public funds have
been squandered for the maintenance OF
an unnecessary large company composed
entirely Of aliens.
Fifth. That all tho native and foreign
royalists have been disarmed
Sixth. That foreign club and leagues,
composed mostly of Germans and
Portuguese, have boon called into exist
cnce for the support of the revolutionary
government.
Seventh. That these clubs have
threatened murder, violence and deporta
ton against those in sympathy with
them.
The memorialists say that though

ment may be distasteful 70 the radica
Democracy of America, it is the chosen
and preferred form of the Hawaiia,
people
Therefore, they say in conclusion
"We now pray the God Of common
faith that, right, justice and honor pre-
vailing, Hawaii, our home and country
be again allowed to enjoy the blessings
OF an independent autonomy and consti
tutional regime, which was so imam
ously slbverted on the 18th day OF

AURORA, Mo-, Jan. 12.-The sheriff OF
Lawrence county and posse of several
hundred citizens have been hunting all
last night and to-day for the negro, who
assaulted tho 10 year old daughter OF
MIR. Joaquin. Early last evening Il sus.
pected negro was traced TO tramp
camping ground near Billings. Some c f
the tramps recognized the negro as the
suspected perpretrator of the outrage
and informed the citizens.
a posse at once went to the camp and
tried to shoot the negro but failed. The
negro thon made a dosprate fight to es-
cape, throw off his assailants nd dashed
into the timber, where he is now sur
rounded. lie cannot escape and the
posse are surrounding him. He will
surely be captured, and his fate will
probably be horrible one.

LATEST FROM THE FIGHTERS.
Injunction Asked For to Restrain the Gov.
ernor From Interfering.

Injunction Asked For to Restrain the Gov
ernor From Interfering
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. % The
Duval Athletic Club is making a last
desperate effort to pull off the Corbett-
Mitchell mill in tho arena which has
been built in this city, despite Governor
Mitchell, Sheriff Broward and the bat
talon OF State troops which will reach
here to- morrow or Wednesday.
That effort was made this evening
and Is in the shape of an application to
Judge Rhydon Call, OF the State cir
cult court, for an injunction to restrain
the sheriff from invading the property
OF the club or in any way interfering
with the proposed so called glove
contest"
The bill was filed in the circuit court
late this afternoon by Colonel Cockrell,
attorney for the club, and Judge Call
agreed to hear argument upon it at IL
o'clock tomorrow morning. Sheriff
Broward has been notified to be pr esent,
as have also StatesAttorney Hartdidge
and County Solicitor Christie. AS soon
as States Attorney Hartdidge was noti
fed Of the proceedings he wired the
governor, outlining the text Of the bill
and asking for instructions
This procedure practically puts tho
settlement of the case in the hands of
Judge Call. If he refuses the injunc tion,
it will prove a knock out blow for the
club. IT, however, he grants the in
junction, it will strengthen the clubs
hands but not necessarily down the
governor. The governor has said time
and again that ne whould regard the
decision OF no circuit court as to the
prize fight. but has urged tho club to
get decision from the supreme court.
The club refused to 60 to the supreme
court because it knew it would lose. If
Call grants tho injunction Governor
Mitchell will have an opportunity to
do what he has repeatedly said he
would do, namely, disregard the circuit
courts decision and declare martial
law in Jacksonville and Duval county.
Those close to Governor Mitchell say
that is just what he will do If Judge
Call grants the I'M motion tho club has
asked for.
Lillian Lewis Thinks Mitchell VIII win.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 22.-Draft
number 49l, 1875 for $500 drawn by the
First National Bank of Charleston, on
National Park Bank, New York, was
posted here to-day by Miss Lillian
Lewis, the actress, against $500 of local
money on the Corbett- Mitchell fight,
Miss Lillian Lewis betting that Mitchell
would como out first best.

number OF persons employed ii tho
classified service, from each STATE and
territory and, as far as possible, the po-
litical party to which they bolong.
Berry remarked that the law had
boen called partisan, but he be-
]ieved that it was regular party ma
chino which was used to keep Republi-
cans in Office. 1t was alleged, he said,
that five out OF every six persons en-
pleyed in the classified service belonged
10 the Republican party and that was
unfair and unjust. He did not know
whether the law could be repealed or
not, but he believed that it should be
modified and it's operations restricted

be to allow the bonds TO be issued and
then to enjoin their payment. The

Scaly Legs in Poultry.


Scaly legs in poultry is not consti-
tutional disease, but q local affair;
that is. it is entirely confired to the
feet and lower part of the legs, rarely,
If ever, extending over the hook joint.
1t is q parasitic disease, induced by de-
composing filth and moisture, and may
be eradicated by means of local appli-
cations and due attention to cleanli-
ness. Soak the legs thoroughly in
warm soap-suds. Then remove with Q
stiff brush the loose parts. Do not
forcibly remove the scales. After each
daily soaking and brushing, hold the
feet during ten minutes in mixture
of half an ounce of creosote and pint
of whisky. Before Hberating the fowl
for the day, applying a coating Of an
ointment made of an ounce of flowers
of sulphur and five ounces of hogs
lard. In the course Of ten to fourteen
days, the feet will gradually assume
the normal condition. It is necessary
that the yard should be cloan and free
from mud and filth as well as the hen
house, and the fowls kept from ex-
posure to wet and damp OF any kind.
