Peter PEBBLES died ut his residence on
Seventh avenue II. e. about o'clock YES
terday morning of paralysis. He was
partially paralzed about two years
ago, but was taken worse about
two days ago. His remains were taken
last night to his old home in Lonacon-
ing, Md, for intermcnt, and were accom-
panied by John McIndoe, his brother-in-
law, and John Engleby, who has known

from the Roanoke Land and Improve
ment Company twenty-nine double blocks
of houses on Seventh avenue, which he
improved greatly. He still retained his
business in Homecoming, and leaves a
large estate, which it is supposed will be
divided among is brothers and sisters, as
he was not IL married man and left no
will. Mr.. PEBBLES was n progressive and
liberal man, uniformly kind and indul-
gent to his tenants, ann will be greatly
missed by n large number of friends in

CATTLE THIEVES ARREsrED.

Detective c. d. Halter, of Baldwin's
detective agency, of Roanoke, placed in
jail at Tazewell last night, Oscar Bane
and Bob Infancy, two negroes charged
with cattle stealing. He arrested the
negroes on the Ohio extension Of the Nor
folk and Western railroad. Bane was
caught at Thacker and Infancy at Din
CESS in coal mine. Several hundred
dollars worth of fine fat cattle have been
stolen i'll Tazewell county and driven
away and sold either in Elkhorn, w.
Va, or at Bluefield and Pocahontas. A
short while ago two fine steers the prom
erty of Alex St. Clair, n prominent citi-
zen of Tazewell, were stolen and taken
to Pocahontas, where they were sold for
SGT to the Southwes Virginia Improve
ment Company;.. the cattle were sold by
two negroes. After n few days they were
missed by Mr. ST. Clair, who traced them
to Pocahontas. The negroes had skipped
and after several weeks were traced by
Detective Halter to the points named and
arrested. Infancy was in coal mine
with several other negroes, who attempted
to rescue him but were promptly held IN
with pistols in the hands of the detective
and an assistant The negroes were
fully identified by the Southwest Com
pany people as the men who sold them
the cattle.

THE MlNSTRELs LAST NIGHT.

The Barlow Bros. Minstrels PLAYED MI
the Academy last night to small down
stairs audience, but the galleries were
packed. The show is IL good one and all
lovers OF minstrelsy who were absent last
night missed treat. There were many
new and taking specialties introduced i'm
the performance and among so many
good features it would be invidous to
specialize. However, the iugglery of
Eberhart, the -contortion of "Zelln and
the scene in ''The Crazy Musician" were
such as to call for special mention. The
most of the jokes gotten off were new
and fresh, and the audience was agreea-
bly, disappointed by the absence of the
usual "chestnutso handed down from
one minstrel troupe to the next. Not n
few of the brightest and most popularlv
applauded jokes found their origin i'm the
present political situation The vocal
music is another strong feature of the
show, there being some voices among
them one would hardly expect to find in
minstrel show. The clear. sweet tenor
OF Thos Crockett in the song and chorus.
'Will They Answer if Write ?" and the
deep, mellow bass of Ed. c.. Sampson in
the Hermit Song were specially fine.
The Barlow minstrels are under the man
agement this season of w. A. Mosely.
Esq, resident of this city, and it was ut
the end of the first part of the perform
ance that an innovation was rang in on
the audience, when Mr.. Mosely was called
or rather dragged to the front of the stage,
where Mr. Simpson, in behalf of the
members of the troupe,as an acknowledge
ment of the efficiency of his manage
ment and the promptness with which the
salaries of the employees had been met
This and Mr.. Moseley's reply of thanks
was loudly applauded by the audience.
The troupe has had il very successful sea-
son and goes from here to Lynchburg to-
night

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.

11ase night young colored man who
seemed rather intelligent, was picked up
IN the vicinity OF the brewery, stripped
Oh ms clothing all but a pair of overalls,
anu almost in dying condition. The
ponce oilcers We're notified and the man
WAS taken to the station house, where
medical aid was summoned at once. He
seemed to be suffering the most Intense
agony anu his groans were pitable to
hear. Whei questioned rs to his condi-
ton he said that his name was Henry
Davis and that he was sailor. He
CLAIMS to have just made trip from
England aboard the English ship
tramp" as fireman and landed in North
carolina. His time being up, he was
pa,a OIL and was making his way to his
olu nome IN Catlettsburg, Ky, and was
travelling in Il box car in company with
Two white men and another negro who
claimed they were from Roanoke and
6lueiieid. Before reaching Lynchburg
Davis let his companions know that he
had some money and when that city was
reached bottle of whiskey was secured
ana Davis induced to take drink, which
ne ana: lie soon became very sick and
weak from the effects of the liquor which
was evidently drugged. Knives were
then drawn on him demanding his
money. He was then stripped of his
clothing, they taking n navy blue sailor

was in silver and the remainder consisted
OF twenty $40 bills. The robbers jumped
OIL the train near hill ten or twelve
miles OF here, land he came ON TO Roanoke,
getting oil the train at the east end tower
and walked to the brewery. where he be-
came so weak that he could not walk any
further. At Il late hour last night the
poisoned man was resting quietly.

PROHIBITION SPEAKING.
Candidate for vice-President Addresses

S""uiuate ior Vtce-President Addresses
the Citizens Of Roanoke.
me Prohibtionists held the boards Mt
the Old Opera House last night. There
was large audience present and consid
cradle enthusiasm prevailed. The meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev. Ira w
hunmel,after which b. Lacy Hoge, State
chairman OF the party, in few we'll
CHOSEN words introduced the speaker of
Ine occasion, Hon. Hale Johnson, of Illi-
nois, VICE; Presidential candidate on the
Prohibition ticket Mr.. johnson is some.
thing OF an orator and for nearly two
hours beld the attention of his hearers
ne presented the issues from q Prohi-
oition standpoint in clear cut and con-
else manner and was Mt the same time
sulhclently humorous to hold the attep-
ton of all present.
lie said that this campaign had mar
rowed itself down to three propositions
VIZ; The Republican party declaring for
the gold standard and high tariff, the
democratic party standing on the finan-
ciai issue of free coinage of silver and the
Prohlbitionists declaring for the aboli-
ton of the saloon. He said that there
are 2lO, 0OO licensed saloons in this coun-
Try that must be wiped out before any
real anu lasting prosperity will ever come
10 the American people. There are now
over loO,OO0 men and women in the pris-
ons oil the land and the whiskey traffic is
responsible for the condition of moro
than 50 per cent. of them. Chicago last
year had no, 900 objects of charity and in
one district careful examination was
made which showed that out of SIT fam
ines IN destitute circumstances, so were
headeu by drunkards. Every year the
people OF this country paid over counters
OF the grog shops $3.50, 900, 600 and at least
oO per cent. of this comes from the wages
Oh the laboring men and in many cities
over S0 per cent of it is spent BY the
wage earners.
lie said that the difference betwe Ell the
present Democratic tariff law and the Nc
hiniey bill in the production of revenue is
only about S20, 900, 900 annually, but the
hepuotlcans claim that to make up this
deficit will restore prosperity and they
look at Mckinley as being the advance
agent OF prosperity The speaker said he
may be, but he is long ways in advance
OF it. He said that Mckinley stands for
the existing gold standard and the exist
ing saloons of the country, that BRYAN
stands for free coinage of silver and the
free coinage Of drunkards ms well.
lie made powerful appeal to Oh rstian
voters to stand by them and vote as they
pray. He did not take much stock in
maintaining the panty of gold and silver
put would like to see the Christian voter
maintain parity between his PRAYERS
and his vote.

GAME DIDN'T COME OFF.

Harris T. Collier, captain of st. Adams
football team, writes to The Times that
the game scheduled for yesterday after
noon between his team and Blacksburg
eleven, on the grounds of the latter, did
not take place, to the disappointment of
large crowd assembled to witness IL;
because "Blacksburg insisted on playing
their hired coach, man who has played
on the University of Virginia for five
years" This, CAPTAIN Collier claims,
was contrary to all the rules of amateur
athletics in the colleges of the country
and the st. Adams team refused to begin
or to play the game if he participated
in it,
