B. AND o. IN THE SOUTH.

The question of extending the Bahi-
more and Ohio to Roanoke. Va, is
again being agitated. AS readers of
the Manufacturers Record are aware,
the railroad terminates at Lexington,
Va. Under the old regime the question
of building it TO Roanoke was consid-
cred. and a roadbed partially con-
structed. but nothing further was done
about the matter. The Manufacturers
Record learns OH good authority that
If the Baltimore and Ohio can secure n
Southern connection at Roanoke 1t
would probably build from Lexington
Such a connection would be offered by
the Norfolk and Westerns division
known as the Roanoke and Southern.
extending from Roanoke to Winston,
n. c. The extension from Lexington to
Roanoke would greatly increase the
business of the Valley branch of the
Baitimore and Ohio. The extension
would be about forty-five miles in
length.

One United States Marshal Killed and
Three Desperadoes Wounded.
ST. LOUIS. July ia special to- The
Post Dispatch from Glencoe, o. T.,
says: One United States marshal in
stantly killed and three desperadoes
MORALLY wounded and captured is the
record of the fight on the Arkansas
river 40 miles east Of here. The three
desperadoes who were captured had
stolen whole herd Of cattle from the
reservation and were taking them to a
railroad station preparatory to dispos-
ing Of them when the three marshals
overlook them and the fight began.
The members Of both parties were
armed with Winchesters and Colts pis-
tolls. One Of the marshals was killed
at the beginning Of the fight and the
leader Of the desperadoes was next to
fall. Then the fight continued for
nearly an hour when another desperate

run, but was brought down. It is
thought that none Of the outlaws will
recover. If they do they will be re.
moved to the federal Jail at Pawnee.

Reforming New York.

Reforming New YORK.
Things are in queer way 10 the
merry city of Gotham. Reform is in
the air, and the gamblers and dive
keepers Of the metropolis are conse
Quently in a sad state Of excitement.
From being wide open" town it has
become tightly closed one, and the
erstwhile brilliant resorts Of the Ten.
derloin and the east side are draped In
gloom, all of which is the result of a
laudable attempt to clean the Augeap
stables of the great city.
The movement began when District
Attorney Gardiner took action which
resulted in the dropping Of "Sapho"
from the repertory of we'll known &C.
tress. How it grew seems as yet
shrouded in mystery. The gamblers
and divekeepers themselves are at a
loss explain condition Of things
Of which they are painfully aware.
Some people maintain that the present
wave of reform will pass away in due
course of time without leaving any
very noticeable mark on the under
strata Of the city; others contend that
it is certain to do much good.
Whatever was the immediate cause
Of the reformation movement, 1t can be
stated as a positive fact that it was
aided If not fostered by the newspa-
pers Of New York city. Once again the
old dictum 1.-The power Of the press"
has been indicated. From the edito-
rial columns Of the great dailies arose
a stentorian appeal to the authorities
Of Gotham, q cry urging them to re-
move a much deplored stigma on the
name Of the city. Reporters We'd with
one another in securing evidences of
public depravity, and the news COL
umns Of the papers fairly teemed with
Instances of the violation of law and
order.
One phase of the movement has
rather amusing side. In the crusade
against vice the police made Sunday
arrests of divekeepers for violating the
so called concert law, which forbids
music in places where liquor is sold
unless such places are licensed as mu-
sic halls by the board Of police. Some
one called the attention Of the chief Of
police to the fact that this law would
apply to respectable restaurants and
hotels as we'll as dives, and at once
some of the proprietors of leading and
fashionable hotels were warned to
cease providing an orchestra in the din
ing hall, while in a few cases arrests
were made.
Another result of the crusade against
vice is that the poolroom keepers have
been forced to ply; their vocation on
the curbstone. While some of, the
poolrooms are still kept open. the ma
jority Of the bookmakers have conclud-
ed to quit business for the present or
else have sought the seclusion Of a
quiet saloon, there to make what ia
known as Handbook" for the benefit
Of their patrons. They still take bets
on the races, but do. not lay odds, and
the quotations on the telegraph. ticker
guide them in paying of the pickers Of
winners. Under the present conditions
they are not doing nearly a. good q
business az they did when In their
rooms.
To the dweller Of another burg the
spectacle Of the crusade in New York
is an interesting sight. To the Go.
thamite himself it is pleasing or dis
tasteful. according to his point Of view
