THE SKIES FRIGHTENING.

There can be no doubt that the times
are getting better, not only in Roanoke
but all over the country. The farmers are
getting better price for most of their
products, and in this city there are fewer
idle men than have been seen here for
years. The street corners during work
ing hours are not blockaded by men dis
cussing political and other questions,
but everybody is moving forward, i'm
PEELED by the desire to be up and doing,
and there is a hopefulness on the faces of
the men of business which shows that
they see something as the reward of their
exertions ami are going to make the most
of the situation. There is no rush, of
course, as in boom days, and men with
plans that have thousands in them" are
conspicuous by their absence. Neverthe-
less Roanoke business men and Roanoke
people generally feel that there is flu
ture for their city and that it is bound to
grow and prosper.
"But, we have only one railroad, -
some one will say when hopeful citizen
speaks encouragingly OF the future,
land 40 place can increase in population
and wealth beyond",a certain degree that
depends upon one line for all Its traffic
and travel" This to certain extent
may be true, but when city's CONNER
cial Importance is evidenced by it's loca-
zion, growth and progress, as in the case
of ROANOKE, railroads are sure to come in
for share of the business that is known
to be there. Competition in this country
is too sharp to allow opportunities to be
long neglected, and the managers of great
railroad lines are too anxious to add to
their business TO allow m onopolies to con
tinue long.
For the past -four or Ave years the
country has been suffering from severe
financial depression. Industries of all
kinds have languished; labor has been
unem p.oyed, or MT best repaid in scanty
wages; capital has been locked up in the
vaults of the banks or boarded in other
places of security. The distrust caused
10y the wild speculation of the period of
apparent prosperity eliminated in a lack
OF confidence that paralyzed business and
brought ruin and disaster. All of this
Is happily passing away and, despite the
errors OF uDwise financial legislation, the
natural recuperative powers of the A aieri-
can people are asserting tn emselves and

Veuezneln, wns spending the summer
Each country submitted II list OF distin.
guished jurists who would be acceptable
to it as umpires; but Mr.. Maertens' name
was the only one on the list of both cor IL
tries. For this reason he was selected
and on being suggested to the four arbi-
traitors he was formally Rgreed to by
them.
Mr.. Macrtens' reputation as an author
ity on international law is world wide
and this has led to his frequent selectien

disputes. He is an official of the Rus

tioI al law at the University of St Pc.
tersburg, and author of standard book
of reference or all the treaties of the
world. He will not only act as umpire
but will be president of the British Vene-
zuelan court. The four arbitrators are
Baron Herschel and Sir William HEM
Collins for Great Britain and Chief Jus.
tice Fuller and Justice Brewer, of the
United States, for Venezuela. With such
an umpire and such court the settle

Great Britain and Venezuela now seems

A NlIsTRIAL.

The jury in the case of the wife of Gov
ernor Atkinson, of West Virginia, who
was on trial upon the charge of forging
her former husbands name, failed to
agree and Immediately thereafter the
governor issued a statement declaring his
wife innocent and expressing belief
that the whole scheme originated with
Camden Summers, r grandson of his
wife's second husband, who was anxious
to get some of his grandfather's prop
erty. In defending his wife Governor
Atkinson is right; but as the jury stood
seven for acquittal and five for convic-
ton, it is evident that some of them had
doubts about the matter. Mrs Atkinson
has been married three times: First in
1876 to Edward S. Davis, II wealthy and
prominent man, who drank lya for whis-
key in tho dark and died; next in 1888 to
Judge Gideon ID. Camden, II millionaire

tract gave her 800, 900 and when he died
left her all his property except few
small requests to his grandchildren.

kinsoi,, and though so years Old, she is
said to be remarkably well preserved and
good looking for her age. She is evil

u Washington, Oct. 15.-It was an

that Justice Stephen ]. Field. of Califor-

RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
Large Number of Employees. Killed and
Injured Last Year.

The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission shows that for the year end
ing June 30. 1895, the whole number of
railroad employees killed was 1911, and
the number injured 25, G96 But during
this time only 10 passengers were killed
and but 65 injured hese figures. which
may be relied on as accurate, show that
one employe was killed for every 433 EN-
ployes, and one injured for every 81 men
employed in the service of the railways
In striking contrast is the statement that
only one passenger met death for every
2,0S4,8 1892 carried by the roads in 1895.

Goes on a Spree

Goes on Spree.
Bristol Courier Bristul's "Door of
Hope" or home for fallen women, which
some OF the good women and rlen of Bris-
tol labored SO faithfully to establish, is
no more
Mrs. MacKay came to Bristol from New
York, wearing the red cross, seemingly
anxious to rescue the fallen ones of her
sex. She gained the confidence of Bristol
pepole, and about So, 600 in cash, furni-
ture and provisions were donated to start
the home, but to the surprise of the en-
tire community, Mrs. MacKay, only one
day after she had opened. the rescue
home was found in n state of intoxica-
ton.
She imbibed freely on the day Buffalo
Bill came to town and was "gloriously
drunk" TO use u phrase common under
such circumstances Her appetite for
drink went far beyond her control and
her condition is said to have been pitiful
for day or two, ii it is not so even yet
This state of affairs caused consterna-
tion among the good women who had
labored to secure the establishment of
the home, add they saw..at once that the
conduct of Mrs. MacKay had resulted
disastrously to all their efforts.
The door OF Hope was for this rea-
sou closed, and the merchants and other
citizens who had donated furniture, ETC.,
to equip the home, were hauling their
donations away from the house Thurs
day.
The plan is to send Mrs. MacKay back
to New York. She will probably start
to-day.

Britain and Venezuela ia the celebrated

President Cleveland's enunciation of the
Monroe doctrine. has been completed by
the selection of Mr.. Maertens, a distin-

their latent energies are coming INTO dis
play in various directions.
First, the necessary repairs of build
ings and machinery, which lack of
means or no need for use has hitherto
prevented, must now be made; then, as
times get better, household goods and
other articles which necessity compelled
people to do without at the cost Of con-
venience and comfort, will be purchased.
And so one thing and another will CON
tribute to the general activity, until all
the wheels of industry are in full motion
and the country will be at last in the en-
joyment of all the blessings of real and
substantial prosperity.
The rise in the price of wheat was the
first turn in the tide, and with thousands
at work who have long been idle there are
already increased demands for the COM
forts OF life. With more money in circu-
lation and an increased demand abroad,
the farmer is receiving better prices for
his products, and as the land after all is
the source of all wealth, as long as agri-
culture and mining industries are remun-
erative the country will lie prosperous.
Roanoke, as the center of region rich
in both of these resources, is particularly
fortunate, and with trade that is capa-
BILE Of unlimited development it cannot
DO long, in spite of artificial restraints,
before the managers of railroads willaabe
looking in this direct ton with II view of
sharing in the benefits to he derived from
| the extension of their lines to this city.
The days of railroad building for the de-
velopment of certain regions and the
building up OF cities, with the view of
speculation in land have probably passed
away forever in the United States. Mil
liens upon millions of hard earned
dollars have been lost in these selfish
schemes; but as population increases and
new demands for transportation facilities
are created, the capital set free by the
general prosperity will be readily in
vested in making the necessary railroad
| connections

Is already All illustration of the advan-
tages to be gained by railroad extension.
With "a population Of over $1,000, and

Possibilities, this city cannot remain in
definitely at the mercy of one corpora
tion, however liberal it's policy. The
allurements of competition are too bright
to be much longer neglected, and though,
as was the case in the earlier history of
the city, the people may not he reaching
out for better railroad facilities the time
has come when the managers of these
great arteries of trade will find it to the
interests of the corporations they control
to share in the BENEFITS SO plainly in
sight. All things considered, there is
everything to hope for in the future of
this city. and that it's people will neglect
no opportunity to advance it's interests
goes without saying.
