WILL GIVE ELECrIoN RETURNS,

G. w. Beckner, manager Of the Acad-
envy OF Music, is inaugurating a plan to
give the election returns on the night of
Novembre 3 at The Academy of Music. A.
special wire will be placed in the build
ing, and any returns that may come in
the early part of the night will be given
between the acts of Louis Morrison in
"Faust." After the show the returns will
be announced as fast as they come in. It
may be that it will be arranged to give
the returns by means of n stereopticon.
All who are interested in this scheme
might do we'll to see Mr. Beckner. The
returns Will be received all night. The
street cars will run between the Firey
building and the Academy every ten min
utes that night. The service which Mr..
Beckner proposes to give will cost about
$50, and unless the people of Roanoke
show a tendency to lend hand the
scheme may fall through.

CUBAN RAILROADS.

From the Railway Age.
Railway operation in Cuba at present
and for the last few years has been
anything but pleasant, To an almost
complete stagnation of business is add
ed the interruption OF trains and de-
struetion of roads and equipment by
military operations on both sides.
Trains containing troops are ferequent-
ly fired upon by the insurgents, and
now and then passengers find them
selves lifted and dispersed by explo-
sions Of dynamite under the cars. The
annual report of the Western railroad
shows that up to June 80 the damage
to the company's property caused by
the insurrection amounted to. 195,OOO,
and a claim for that sum has been pre-
sented to the government. Trains are
run irregularly and under the protce-
tion of military escorts.

sponse to a hearty encore rendered sew

demonstrated that he is perfect mas
