The official announcement Yesterday
that General Manager Joseph H. Sands,
OF the Norfolk and Western railway, lad
rendered his resignation to take effect at
once, was received with deep regret by
the people of this city of all classes and
conditions. During his residence hore of
twelve years and more Mr.. Sands has
proven himself a worthy and patriotic
citizen. ready ut all times to advance the
interests of Roanoke and Southwest Vir-
ginia, as was shown in his liberal invest
ments in all commendable enterprises and
his deep interest in the welfare and pros
perity OF this city and section. In the
discharge of the duties of his position as
general manager no man could have been
more jealous and untiring, while the high
place held by him in the esteem of the
officials of the road and the affection felt
for him by his subordinates were alike
evidences of his ability to direct and con-
troll large numbers of men.
What his future plans may be is not
known, but whatever he may decide tc

DIR. Robert O'Reilly, of the medical de-
partment of the United States army. was
selected by President Cleveland as physi.
clan to himself and family during his
stay in the White House, but President
Mckinley has gone to the navy to get his
doctor, the lucky individual being Med
ical Director Newton l.. Bates. AS the
President of the United States is com
mander in chief of the army and navy he
is at liberty to make such selection as
he desires without any additional drain
upon his financial resources on that ac-
count. All things considered the position
OF President of this great republic is not
wholly without its benefits and advnnt
ages.

The present insurrectiol in Crete is the
ninth that has broken out there since the
island came into the possession of the
Greeks in 1860, and as the people are still
under Mohammedan rule faint idea of
the suffering endeared by the unhappy
people through all those years of anarchy
and bloodshed may be gained by recalling
the bacbarities of the Turks whenever
helpless Christians are the objects of
their animosity.

Miss Grace Dinsmore, II young woman

character it is hard to see how the fair
damsel of the Empire State will be bene-
fitted by the exchange.

MONDAY, Aug. Ia.
The dealings in stocks to-day were about $780,
900 shares less than the daily average last week.
There was an equally large falling off in the
volume of business in bonds. Notwithstanding
those decreases a fairly large amount of business
was transacted in both departments Of the Ex-
change. The most plausible explanation
Of the smaller dealings as compared
with last week is that important interests
that have been active upon the long side OF tho
market arc temporarily less aggressive than
they have been for two or three weeks past. 1t
Is possible that they arc apprehensive of . scare
regarding the condition Of the maturing crops.
II 30, their caution appeared to be warranted to
an extent this afternoon when advices came to
hand from the West representing that
the spring wheat and tho corn crops
had sustained serious damage. This incl
dent, like all Jews or reports of an unfavor-
