ANOTHER KLoNDIKE.

A few years ago an old miner told
Mr.. Frank Rieden, now residing at
1905 West Commerce street, this city,
who still retains the old Rieden home
stead at Quihi, Medina county, that
at a certain point on his land he saw
traces of gold and silver. Mr.. Frank
Rieden, as was then published here,
encouraged the old miner to follow up
the surface indications and from time
to time reports ''of rich soif' came in.
These increasing indications of grow
ing wealth put the mining fever on
Mr.. Rieden and he began to dig a
shaft 120 feet deep, then followed a
10 to IL feet vein about 40 feet, when
he had to stop for want of funds and
at time when indications of great
wealth were almost in sight. He has
been offered the services of miners
lately again, since mining became 80
prominent, to work the mine for board
| only, provided they would get good
share as wages, IL they struck 1t rich,
and this may induce Mr.. Rieden to
resume work in the Klondike OF Quihi
again, il his pocket book allows it.

TIP MORRISON ON TRIAL.
Jennie Morrison, Principal Witness
Again Disappears.

Jennie Morrison, Principal Witness,
Again Disappears.
Tip Morrison, a negro, who shot
Walker Richardson, another negro,
night last April, while the latter was
walking along San Pedro Avenue,
near the Springs, with Jennie Morri-
son, is on trial in the Thirty-seventh
District court today on a charge of
murder. Richardson died from the eff
fects of the wound and Morrison had
left the city. He was arrested at Mar
ia and brought here by Sheriff Camp
bell. 1t appears that Tip Morrison
was jealous of Richardson about Jen-
ME Morrison, and when he saw the
two together he pumped Walker full
of lead. The case was set for trial
once before, but was postponed on ac-
count of the absence of Jennie Nor
rison, who is the principal witness.
She mysteriously disappeared. When
the case was called this morning she
was again found missing. 1t is said
she has gone to Mexico. She had been
out on bond in the sum of 800 and
this was ordered forfeited and $50
fine was entered against the default
ing witness.
A special venire of 14I men had
been summoned as jurors and after
these names had been called there
were still two lacking for a complete
jury. Judge Shields then ordered an
other venire of twenty-five men, return
able at 3 p. m.
The following are the ten jurors Sc
lected this morning:
Gustav f. Niggle, William Schroed-
er, Henry G. Rips. Edw. III. Witte, w.
G. Silliman, A. +. Beckmann, Ed.
West, William Maltsberger, Willard

The organization of the bosses proposes

1t was announced late this afternoon
that committees from each organization

ROANOKE WAS OUT EN- MAssE
TO GREET MR.. JEFFERSON
STANDING ROOM AT A PREMIUM
TO WITNESS THE PRODUCTION
OF THE IMMORTAL TRIP VAN
w1NKLE"-THE GREAT ACTOR
AT HIS BEST.

Roanoke has seen Joseph Jefferson, and
Roanoke is happy Rumor had is that
Lynchburgs endeavored to get him last
year, but it is said Mr.. Jefferson replied
feelingly and with characteristic humor,
that he was sorry, but on that day he had
to go fishing. We, too, have.been want
ing him for u long time, but Manager
Beck er, it seems. is the only manager
who has had the genius to secure him.
Inst night he seemed to be the happiest
man III all the vast thrcng-as he Witness
ed the successful completion of his COM
mendable venture. Southwest Virginia
is justly indebted to him for his energy
and enterprise. -
Ever since the unprecedented rush
when the seats were first put on sale,
there has been no doubt but that the
Academy would he crowded to its utmost
capacity. So it turned out. Everybody
was there, regardless of financial condi-
tion, church afliliation, domestic ties, or
matrimonial intentions. Roanoke society
was out in full force. All the boxes were
occupied by prominent persons. The
parquet and balcony shone Respondent
with beautiful women, handsomely
gowned, and men in evening attire. The
"Wednesday Club, under the genial chap
eronage of Prof f. w. Duke and George
Van Lear, attended in body and occu-
pied prominent seats. All cur educa-
tional institutions, Hollins, Virginia Col
lege and Allegheny. Institute, were largely
represented. All the incoming trains yes
terday brought visitors. There was N
special train from Hollins bringing about
seventy.tive, and also party came from
l4ynchburg, numbering about fifty. Ia
Long before the doors were opened n
crowd had assembled in front of the
Academy. Finally, when the doors were
opened, the rush began, and for nearly an
hour steady stream of humanity poured
into the building. Every available seat
was taken and standing room was in de-
mapd.
Every one is familiar with the story OF
Irying's Grip Van Wrinkle ;, In reading
Irving, however, one would hardly dream
OF the humor and puthos which the in
imitable genius Of Mr.. Jefferson gives to
the character.
The curtain rose promptly Mt 8 o'clock,
and shortly after Mr.. Jefferson appeared.
His appearance elected great applause,
and throughout the whole performances
he completely captivated the audience.
They felt that great.actor-perhap the
greatest living actor-was before them,
and they were conscious of true art, and
true art never goes unapprociated The
scene between Rip Van Wrinkle and his
daughter Meenie and his wife, Gretchen,
i'll tho last act, was full of pathos, and
the next moment the house would be con-
vulsed with laughter
The support was excellent. The two
little children Meenie and Hendrick,
were surprisingly apt. and several times
