ROANOKE WILL
 DO SOME BUILDING
BUSINESS SECTION OF THE CITY WILL SOON HAVE ANOTHER
 BLOCK ADDED.

Roanoke February 22.-(Special)--Roa- noke will soon have another block of fine buildings added to the business section. Harper & Weathers have sold-for $1, 1,000- the lot next to the R. L. Watson stand (Floyd's building) to Charles J. Sudduth. who will soon begin the erection thereon of a handsome brick store, with glass front.
 They have also contracted with MT. Sudduth to build for them on the east ern portion of their lot a very fine and large brick stable. The front will be of pressed brick, with stone trimmings, and the building will be one of the most mod ern and handsomest structures in all this section These gentlemen have reserved a strip of land between the location of their stable and the residence occupied by J. NJ Belcher, which they will convert into a street to intersect Weathers street, which Is to be extended eastward.
 H. w. Davis has purchased lot on this extension and will roll the residence he now occupies back on his new lot. S.. D. Burdett will then probably build 8 store house on his lot now occupied by Davis residence, which will make the block complete-the three new buildings joining walls In succession.

BIC STEEL DEAL
 HAS BEEN CLOSED  American Steel and Wire Con- pany Brought Into the
 Great Combination

Pittcburg, February 22.-The Leader says:
 Word was received in Pittsburg today from New York that the negotiations with the American Steel and Wire Company relative to it's participation in the great and Federal Steel Companies are to be the center, have brought to a close satisfac- tory tv the promoters, J. P. Morgan t& Co and the directory of the Wire Com rany. So far as the Moore interests are concerned, such progress has not been made. There is still a wide variation be- tween the figures of the two sides but the promoters have issued an ultimatum which if the Moore concerns accept, will be the basis of which they will be in- cluded, but if they refuse they will be omitted from the combinations entirely or go o, a new basis at some later time. It is understood that the securities of the Gew company will be introduced in the London Stock Exchange.
 Henry Phipps has returned to New York to attend a conference of the pro- nioters of the steel combine. He was here preparing matters of great impor- tance 1t is said, which are to be dis cusSed by those interested in the ombina- .ior, and until MT. Phipps report is pre- ;ented the announcement of the comple- ion of the deal cannot be made. c. M. schwan and H. c. Prick are expected lome Sunday and may return to New York at once.

pays the penalty to Nero In view of the spectators
 This act closes with tlse disclosure of the death of Neros and Poppaea's 8 child and the frenzied accusation of the em- press against Lygla that she bewitched the child Lygia is saved by the ready wit of Pretronius, In that famous scene in which the courier stops the emper- OTIS mouth by the simple process of put ting his hand over 1t. and saves himself annihilation by the entreaty not to i'm pair that divine voice."
 The third act Is In Petronius house, handsome interior, in the bright Pompe- ian colors. During this act Vinicius tells the elder man, who listens with the freed slave Eunice at his feet, of what he has seen during his search through Rome In quest of Lygia, who has been rescued by the Christians. He has seen men, women and children butchered. This is Neros world. He has seen little bands of worshpers In the new religion listen ing with rapt attention to the words Of the Apostle Peter, and conveying one to the other, the message of peace and good will and this, he says, Is the Christian world To Pretronius' house comes Nero and his following, and the conclusion of the act sees the beginning of the burning of Rome.
 InG dCl IS ldhGn up WIlh thiS feature of the story. The garden of Linus house Is shown where Vinicius finds Lygia, and where the assembled Christians are arrested by Nero's sol diers The interior of Neros palace Is next shown, and an episodal scene, which is one of the best in the play. The sec ond scene is the interior of the Manner tine prison, whence the Christians are led forth to die in the arena, and where Pe- tronius again comes to save Lygia from the Empress and her mnion, Tigelllus.
 The last act Is the exterior of the cir GUS, with a view of the arena and the city in the distance. Here Petronius and Vinicius describe, from an elevated plat form, the scene in the arena, during which Ursus effects the rescue of Lygia by breaking the meek of the wild bull. Here the soldiers revolt, incipiently, and the populace rises, compelling Nero to yield and grant pardon to Lygia and Ur- sus. Nero serves upon Petronius notice that the latter will be expected to "open his veins on the morrow, and upon the reunion of Lygia and Vinicius and the impending death of Petronius, the final curtain falls.

TUSCALOOSA DIRT

MANY SALES OF REAL ESTATE HAVE BEEN MADE DURING
 PAST FEW DAYS.

Tuscaloosa, February 22.-(Special.)- The real estate market in Tuscaloosa has been unusually active the past week. Woolsey Finnell has purchased of Jake Forster the latter's home on Bike street, the consideration being s150O Forster in turn has bought from Col. Henry B. Fos- ter the latter's home on Greensboro street for the sum of $3500. Colonel Eos ter has also sold another dwelling on Greensboro street to H. Magill, the con- sideration in this transaction being S2250. Colonel Foster has now purchased the residence belonging to Mrs. Sallie Hester on Greensboro street, consideration not stated. Tuscaloosa was visited this after noon by Presidents Spencer of the South ern and Russell of the Mobile and Ohio, and Superintendent J. D. Clark of the lat ter road who are making an inspection of the Mobile and Ohio property in their private cars. The party includes num- Der of prominent officials The party was here only a short time, inspecting the property at this place.
 Gen. Robert Ober of Baltiore Is in the  caloosa Belt Railway Company, of which he has recently become the sole owner. It is reported that General Ober expects to begin some permanent improvements on the line in the course of a few weeks. The line has never been very successful, and it is thought that with the proposed improvements the property will be made more of a revenue producer.
 John G. Minniece. who for several years was trainmaster of the Mobile and Ohio at this place, has left for Bloomington, H., where he will work for the Chicago and Alton Railroad.
 The Washington tea given at the pub lie schools yesterday afternoon for the benefit of the library for that school was quite successful A large crowd was pres- ent. The school will soon have a first class library.

The Rouers Brothers.

Next Wednesday and Thursday patrons of the Jefferson Theatre will have the first opportunity of witnessing the Rogers Brothers in "Central Park" In com mentlng on this performance tie critic of the Minneapolis Journal said:
 "A discriminating and experienced poet once proposed this toast:
 Here's to champagne the drink divine,
 That makes us forget our troubles;
 It's made of a dollars worth of wine
 And three dollars worth of bubbles
 "This description may also be fairly applied to the vaudeville farce Rogers Brothers in Central Park It has the eff fervescent and evanescent quality of champagne. And yet it is little less than wonderful that the Klaw and Erlanger Company is able to uncork that same bot tie of farcical champagne at every per formance and pour out therefrom such bubblng sparkling, eXhliarting draft ex- actly as if the cork were freshly drawn. The dialogue Is swift and smart. It Is em- broidered with gags that explode at 1n- tervals like so many firecrackers. Most of them are new or at least new twists on old themes. Of course it Is the Rogers Brothers Max and Gus, who touch them off. When they stand face to face and each thrusts his chin whisker out aggres- sively at the other. the explosions begin and the audience jumps convulsively at each little detonation. The Rogers Broth CTS are very funny German comedians, and they have n theatrical tailor who produces some sartorial miracles for them to wear. The audience usually let's them go with reluctance and welcomes them back on the stage with effusiveness One I. c., ~R +.

MORE TALK OF THE E. & ". EXTENSION Tho Ramor is Revived in Rail-
 road Circles THE SEAB0ARD AIR LINE Settlement of Litigation Against It Lives Rise to the Rumor-Pres- ident Williams Talks of the
 Settlement.
THE SEABOARD AIR LINE

The settlement of the litigation that has been carried on for years by Thomas F. Ryan against the consolidation of cer- tain southern railroads into the greater Seaboard Air Line system, of which John Skelton Williams Is president, re- wives the rumor that the Seaboard will acquire the East and West Road and will at an early date enter it into Bir- mingham. The settlement was made un- der decision of Daniel Lamont, vice president of the Northern Pacific Rail- way, as arbitrator on the points at issue.
 It is stated that under the terms of the settlemen MT. Williams, for the interests he represents, takes all of the holdings of MT. Ryan, and that In consideration of this MT. Ryan is to withdraw all of his suits still pending and to abandon all opposition to MT. Williams plans for consolidation.
 President Williams Talks.
 In speaking of this settlement MT. Will Hams says:
 "The report that we have bought MT. Ryan's holdings of stocks in the Seaboard Air Line system upon which he has based the suits which he has been con- ducting for several years past is correct This purchase embraced all of the stock owned by MT Ryan in the Seaboard and Roanoke, Raleigh and Gaston and Ra- leigh and Augusta Railroads, and the certificates for these stocks were deliv- cred to me today and are now In my pos session. The settlement was on a cash basis, and no new securities were issued in exchange for the securities delivered to us by MT Ryan. All suits which have been pending will be immediately with drawn, and with the consummation of this transaction all opposition of every sort whatsoever to the plans of the Sea- board Air Line is removed and the last cloud disappears from the horizon
 The earnings of the Seaboard are in- creasing according to a statement maoe by President Williams, the gross earn ings for December showing an increase Of $1O5. 900, while the operating expenses will be reduced considerably, probably to ratio of about 65 per cent.
 MT. Ryan's holdings in the companies to be included in the greater Seaboard system are said to be about $40O,OOO.
 Alliance With Southern.
 Following close upon the settlement of the litigation between MT. Williams and MT Ryan comes the report of a close al- liance between the Seaboard and the Southern. A dispatch from Richmond, Va, states that President John Skelton Williams of the Seaboard; President Samuel Spencer of the Southern. and F, J. Kimball, chairman of the board of directors of the Norfolk and Western, have been elected directors of the Old Dominion Steamship Company, which runs large fleet of steamers from Rich- mond and Norfolk to New York. This &C., tion indicates that this steamship line and the railroads represented by the three gentlemen named will act in harmony in all traffic arrangements. It is also in harmony with the joint arrangement which the six great railroad companies recently made with the Richmond, Fred ericksburg and Potomac.

AMUSE SEMENT IS.

"Quo vadis," the powerful drama adapted from Senkiewicz' novel, was presented at the Jefferson Theatre last night to a select audience, opening an engagement of two nights and a mati- nee. The production is given by Whitney and Knowles and Is elaborate in every detail. The play itself Is intensely dra- matic, portraying, as it does, the dra- matic page from the worlds history the grandeur of ancient Rome and her environs. It is almost oyerpowering, and while it interests, 1t dulls the apprecia- tion by the mere force of its action. The players are called upon to the extent of their ability, and the cast, with few ex- captions, Is equal to the task. although the individual work Is to a certain extent overwhelmed by the force of the strong ly-drawn situations.
 The first act of the play introduces the spectator into the house of Petronius. the Roman patrician and member of Me- ro's court. Thither comes Vinicius, his nephew, and tells him of the love for Lygia which has gained a mastery over him during his soJourn in the house of
 
 CTS of the book are familiar with the story of Lygia's status as hostage to Nero, given over to the custody of Aulus. who has come to regard her as virtually his own kin. In this scene is brought out the fine if not subtle character of Pe- tronius, the man of wit, sympathy and right feeling, the single example of man. Illness in the whole of Nero's following. One of the neatest strokes in the delinea- tion of this character is the episode of the slave girl, Eunice. who Is brought to declare her love for him.
 The second act has for it's location the gardens of Nero and the entrance to his palace, stage setting of magnificent splendor. The rising curtain discloses Nero In the center of the scene, Tyre in hand, and surrounded by his courtiers. When all have gone into the feast Lygia is brought to the scene by the guard, which has torn her from Aulus' grasp Here Lygia makes appeal 10 the Empress Poppaea to save her from what appears her obviously destined fate. and there oc- CUTS the scene during which the girl, a known Christian. stretches her hands ap- pealingly over the infant daughter of Caesar and Augusta, a circumstance that affords the handspring for one of the dramatic scenes of the play. It is in the garden that Vinicius is made to press his manifestations of love for Lygia upon her in a fashion such as to call in the strong rebuff from Ursus, the giant ser vitor of Lygia. and like her. convert to the Christian faith.
 Pretronius is the popular hero of the play, whatever sympathy. sometimes tears, there may be for Lygia and Vim cius and poor little Aulus, son of Lygia's foster parents, who gives up his life In prison, the only one of the martyrs that

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Explanation Offered Regarding the
 Retirement of Gen. CoIviIle.

London, February 22-In the House of Commons MT. Frederick, secretary of war, replying to MT. Mansfield, Liberal, took occasion to offer an explanation re- garding the retirement of Major General Colville for which he (Mr. Broderick) had been so much criticised. General Colville, said MT. Boderick, was sent home by Lord Roberts for inefficiency in the field General Colville was never tried and though his case was considered on his return to England, and he was allowed to resume his command at Gibraltar, he was not exonerated from blame. Subse- quently General Sir Evelyn Wood, the adjutant-general, brought the Lindley disaster to MT. Boderick's notice. After consultation with Lord Roberts, who ad- vised that General Colville should not be allowed to retain his command at Gib- raltar Mr. Boderick ordered action in accordance with this advice.
 MT. Boderick added that he understood the matter would be brought to the at- tention of the house later and therefore he would defer a fuller statement.
 Replying to MT. Redmond, Nationalist, MT, BrOQ6TlCk tHdL LOi0 Asoc- erts had previously commended General Colville, but subsequent events had not connected his removal from the army.
 Replying to MT. Dillon, Irish National ist, MT. Frederick said he had received a telegram from Sir Alfred Milner con- firming the accounts of i'll treatment of the natives by the Boers at Calvinia. Sir Alfred said he had absolutely no doubt but that the Boers murdered the man named Esau, that he was hogged and afterward shot.
 Lord Cranborne, parliamentary secre- tary for the foreign office, assured Mir. Redmond that the Emperor of Germany had not offered to arbitrate to terminate the war in South Africa.
 Replying to a question of the cost of the war, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chan cellor of the exchequer. said that thus far fS1500,OO0 of bonds had been issued, the weekly issue was from f1,0OO, 900 to fl, ,250, ,000 MT. Frederick imparted the in formation that the Boers in the field had recently been estimated at from 1900 to 10000. In January there were 16.000 Boer prisoners and this number had since in- creased.
