~ 1raeplng ana Greedy Corporation.
EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-The Hon. j.
Allen Watts ana his man Friday may
talk till doomsday, but they can r.yur
tear down nor blot out the cold facts Ct
history. The records show ,has Mr..
Watts, the paid attorney of this Gas ana
Water Company aud State senator for
the people OF the Fourth Virginia dis
trlct, laid aside the interest of the
people OF Roanoke and used his office in
| an effort to promote tho Interest," of his
wealthy client.
1t was dark snd dangerous scheme
concocted by the Gas and Water COM
pany to rob the people OF the springs
that God had given them, and deliver
them over to the use and keeping of
this greedy corporation, and 1t is both
surprising and shocking that 1t should
have found On advocate aud patron In
tho past two years, has had the honor
Of representing the people of this dis
trlct in the State senate.
The past few years have been years
OF hsrdship and privation to many of
the people of Roanoke. Men with true
patriotism and genuine fidelity to every
trust, standing up bravely under the
Affections of adversisv, have worked
and watched apd hoped for a return of
better times. During all these years of
| hardship the Roanoke Gas and Water
Company has been prosperous oorpo-
ration. 1t has unrelentingly dem anded
It's pound Of flesh and It's price for every
drop OF water. LIS water rates are more
than double the rates of many cities in
| the South.
Whom these things are considered in
| connection with its effort to condemn
and close up every spring in Roanoke
| in order that it NIGH. compel rery
| family to contribute 80 Us already lucra.
tive profits the thing smells to heaven
aud smacks Of q greed and tyranny
that is almost enough TO make it's in
tended victims turn savage for an hour.

portant part OF the report ia that re-
ferrinR to mail service on street rail-

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-The stock mar

from abroad and its accelerated

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
The Georgia Editors Take the Day ts
See the Big Show.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 19.-To-day was
the calm after the storm at the Cotton
States and International Exposition.
The machinery which President Cleve-
lands touch set in motion yesterday, was
moving with busy whirr and there was a
general air of hustle and preparation
among the exhibitors who were anxious
to put the finishing touch on their dis
plays.
This was Georgia Editors day, and the
members of the State Press Association
were on the ground one hundred strong.
They viewed the exhibits, took in the
midway, shot down the chutes and had
a good time generally. There is general
qualification over the success Of the
opening exercises, and the people of At
lanta are inclined to shake hands with
themselves in their delight. The big
show is now fairly under way with a
fair field and no favor

NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS.
They Yesterday Nominated John w.
GTisgs for Governor.

TRENTON, n. j., Sept. 19.-The Re
publican State Convention, met here to-
day and nominated John W. Griggs, Of
Union county, eX-State Senator and %
prominent lawyer, for governor.
Because of the fact that the Republi-
cans are very hopeful of success this fall,
the convention attracted to the city more
of the rank and file Of the party than
has been seen at a similer gathering for
over twenty years, and there was a gen
uine effort on the part of half a dozen
gentlemen to secure the coveted nomina-
ton which finally fell 10 Mr.. Griggs on
the third ballot. His chief competitor
was ex Congressman John Xean, Jr.,
who was the candidate against Governor
Werts three years ago.
Upon questions Of national import,
the platform says
"We re-afirm our devotion to the ma
tional policy of our party; our opposi-
ton to any attempt to impose upon this
country a debased or deprecated cur
rency, and our firm belief in the wisdom
and beneicence of a tax upon imports
which will afford protection to American
industry and adequate revenue"

Little credeGce is given here to the
story that ''Mr Carlisle had accepted an
invitation to make two or three speeches
in Maryland during the campaign, but
when Mr.. Cleveland heard of it, so the
story goes, he promptly notified Mr..
Carlisle that he should regard his enter
ing the Maryland campaign in the inter
ests Of the Democratic ticket as the
height of pernicious activity. The init
nation was conveyed to Mr. Carlisle
that be could not appear upon the stump
in Maryland and remain member Of
Mr.. Clevelanfs cabinet. The Secretary,
in this instance, as he has done upon
several occasions in the past, yielded
meekly to Mr.. Cleveland's superior wis
dom. His Maryland engagements were
Cancelled at Cnce."

BIG FIRE AT WASHINGTON.
six Dry KiIns of the Short Lumber
Company Burned.
to the News and Observer.
WASHINGTON, N. O., Sept

" ASHINGION, N. ~, sept ~.
This morning about 2 O'Clock six large
dry kilns Of the E. NJ. Short Lumber
company were discovered to be in flames
Hardly had the alarm been given before
the southern corner Of the dry kilns
were ablaze. The fire spread rapidly
and the kilns we're nearly consumed b3-
fore the fire department got upon the
scene. This was due, however, to the
fact that the mill is located ip the ex-
trerne western portion of the city.
The fire seems to have originated in
the shed or southern corner Of the Hlns
but how is unknown. Several buildings
near by were in danger Of destruction
and it was only through the excellent
work of the fire laddies that they were
saved. The kilns, six in number, 300
00C feet of lumber, the Office and other
small buildings were consumed. The
loss is estimated at between 1920, 900
and S150,000, partly covered by insur-
ance.
This is the third time the kilns have
been burned, the mill has met the same
fate once and blown up twice, The
whole community sympathises with the
Short Lumber Company in this loss.
1t is understood the kilns will be re-
built at once. The fire department,
although little late arriving upon the
scene rendered valuable service. They
never left the fire till 8 o'clock this
morning, having worked eight hours
fighting the confagration. The wind was
a little high at the time Of the alarm but
fortunately changed before any other

THE STEAMER EDAM sUeK.
She CoIIided with the Steamer Turks
tan in a Dense Fog,

PLYMOUTH, Eng, Sept 10 Tie
steamer Bere8ford has arrived here hav-
ing in tow the Trawler Vulture, o~Brix-
ham, and four ships boats, containing
the captain, crew and passengers Of the
Netherlands American Steamship Com
pany's steamship Edaro, Of Rotterdam,
from New York, bound for Amsterdam.
At one o'clock this morning the Edam
collided with the Turkistan when fifty
miles southeast of Start Point. The col
lision occurred in a dense fog The
Edam foundered and the Turkistan was
lost to view in the fog. The captain,
crew and passengers of the Edam who
had taken to the boats Immediately after
the collision, were picked up by the
TraWler.
The Trawler Vulture was in fishing
grounds, fifteen miles from the Eddy
stone lighthouse last night The night
had been clear, but just before 1 O'Clock,
a thick fog came up. Those on board
the Vulture heard a great blowing CT
whistles and then terrific crash, the
Vulture crossed Immediately to the spot
from which the sound issued and went
alongside the steamship Edam, which
was rapidly filing. Captain BrunSma,
OF the Edar0, requested that the Vulture
stand by. The ships boats were then
quickly lowered and the passengers
we're helped into it without accident.
The passengers were greatly alarmed,
but there was no panic among them.
The majority went on deck without hav-
ing taken time to dress. The women and
children were first embarked in the ships
boats The sea at the time of the col
lision was perfectly smooth.
The steamer Turkistan, which did not
appear to have sustained serious injury
by the collision, stood by until danger
was passed and then proceeded in the
direction of Cardiff The Edam found
cred at o'clock, two hours after the col
lision.
The Edam and Turkistan came together
with great force, although they were
proceeding cautiously in the fog. The
Turkistan's prov made great hole in
the side of the Edam. Both vessels i'm
mediately lowered boats, and many pas
sengers were taken from the Edam by
| the Turkistan's boats.
Another account says that the Edam

Everything is being done at Plymouth

| Edam had on board SO steerage passen-
gers but no cabin passengers.
The Turkistan's bows were badly dam
aged by the collision.
The officers Of the Edam refuse to give
any details of the disaster, beyond say
ing that there was no panic on board the
steamship, but that everybody kept per
foctly cool. From other sources it was
learned that the Edam settled down,
stem first, and sank about forty minutes
after the vessels struck, by which time
all the boats had gotten clear of the
doomed ship. Capt. Brunsma tried to
