extra session
OF congress
Will be Called by the President
to Convene Monday. Nov
ember 9th.
WORK HAS BEEN MAPPED OUT
Enactment of Laws Approving Cuban
Treaty one of the First Duties.
Financial Legislation to be
Considered.

President Theodore Roosevelt is
financial legislation. AS stu
dent of affairs he has noted for
long time the necessity of financial
legislation of remedial character and
he oppressed to Senator Lodge, OF
Massachusetts, his desire that early
action upon the subject should be talk
en- by congress along the lines OF his
recent messages and speeches.
Indeed it can be said he hopes aa-
ton will be initiated at the extra SEES
sion of congress which he will call
on Monday November 3.
Senator Lodge gave out the fol-
lowing concerning his conference with
the president. In this statement the
presidents hopes regarding the finan-
cial legislation are reflected.
''You know, of course said Mr..
Lodge, that an extra session is to
be called to meet on Monday November
8, Immediately following the fall cleo
lions. The session will be called pri-
marily for the purpose OF enacting leg
islation approving the Cuban treaty
which was ratified by the senate last
spring. The president hopes however,
as | do, that we shall be able to take
tup for early consideration financial leg
fislation along the lines of his mes
sages and speeches since he became
president. In this legislation the pre-
|sident takes the deepest interest.
mo specific bill has been under con-
sideration.. The preparation of
measure of that kind is the work of
congress itself. 1t was understood
when the senate adjourned last spring
that the committee on finance would
prepare a remedial financial measure
during the recess. The committee now
is engaged on that work | assume
that the house committee on banking
and currency also will take up the sub
ject but I am not informed whether
it is the intention of that committee
to begin the consideration of the sub
ject before the extra session shall con-
venep
No official information of the inten
tion of Mother Jones and her army
to visit the president at Sycamore
Hill, has been received at the exc
cutive office. In the circumstances
neither Mother Jones nor her army
would be received by the president
unless arrangements were made in adj
vance for the meeting. If such ar
rangements were not made there would
be no possibility of the army reach
ing Sycamore Hill. The members
would be sent back by the secret ser
vice officers 1t is reasonably certain
| that the president would nor receive
| the army as body.

LOVE SICK BOY WANTED TO DIE.
Richmond Youth Swallows Laudanum
Went Out in Field to Die.

But for his chance discovery by two
soldiers, Wister Taylor, young man
of Church TTill, Va, would have died
alone and helpless in an old field.
whittier he had taken himsel4 intent
upon ending life which had become
hateful to him.
According to the father of the young
man, who was saved after hard work
by two physicians, a love affair is at
the bottom of his sons attempt upon
his own life. He stretched himself in
a field near P and Twenty-ninth
streets, Richmond, Va. and swallowed
an ounce of laudanum. and there he
lay alone for some time. About $50
O'Clock. or perhaps a little earlier two
soldiers stumbled over him, and took
him in hand He was then in a very
serious condition, and there is no doubt
that had he stayed there much longer
death would have ensued.

RAILROAD FOR FLOYD COUNTY.
Work Actually Begun--Electric Line
Will be Constructed.

| Floyd county has been greatly ex.
cited for several months over the. open
ing OF the United States arsenic mines
near Terry's Fork, and the proposition
to construct an electric railway from
some point on the Norfolk and Western
railroad to this point, which will be ex-
tended to Floyd courthouse, and pro-
badly to the Froncery copper mines,
seven miles further west.
The Scheme has been the subject of
great doubt by our rural people, but
now it is considered that the fondest
hopes of the citizens of Floyd are about
to be realized. For several months
machinery for the mines has been, COM
ing in slowly, and five car loads more
have arrived at Christiansburg. Twen-
ty wagons and three traction engines
will make several trips IN order to lay
the equipment on the grounds. Many
men are being worked, and good wages
are being paid to the laborers. The
average. wages is from 81 to SIS per day.
Actual work has begun on the cleo
trio railway, which will connect with
the Norfolk and Western at Chris
tiansburg, The line will not go to
Shawsville, as was first proposed but
will go by way of Auburn and up the
Pilot mountain, where better grade
has been secured. A three-mile branch
road of the Norfolk and Western from
Christainsburg to an abandoned mine
in the vicinity of Auburn will be uti-
lized, and it is also learned that the
Norfolk and Western has subscribed
$S, 900 to the stock of the electric sys-
tenn.
The Westinghouse people. of Pitts
burg, Pa. have had $500 contract
for some months to construct the road.
1t will open UP one of the greatest
undeloped mineral, timber and agri.
cultural sections of Virginia.

ality of the hour.
The cardinal is the exact antithesis
of Pope Leo, having none of the late
pontiffs sympathetic and benevolent
characteristics. He comes from a no.
Bile Piedmonese stock and his nobility
is shown in his naughty and austere
bearing. He is not popular among his
colleagues or the Romans, and his
brusque manner has earned him the
title of "the Piedmont bear" He is

MOB L.YNCHED
WHITE NAN
Law in the Bluegrass State Too Slow
to Suit Taste of Some Citizens.

Enraged at the hardness of the
courts. mob broke into the Flemings-
burg, KY, Jail and hanged VIM. Thack-
er, white man, who had been given a
life sentence for the murder of John
Gordon two years ago. Thacker, in
qurrel with Gordon at Foxport shot
and killed him and then sat on the
body Winchester in hand, while he
smoked his pipe and dared any one to
attempt to arrest him. At the time
Thacker escaped, but he was later ar
rested and lodged in jail at Flemin-
burg He was given two trials and
finally got life sentence.
Gordon was a good citizen and an
inoffensive man. After being sentenc-
ed, Thacker appealed to the court of
appeals, and was waiting for another
trial. Thacker had some money and
was able to command the support of
some influential men and it was feared
that he might escape punishment al
together.
The mob collected at Mount Car
mel, where Gordon once lived, and
came into Flemingsburg by twos and
threes in order not to arouse sus-
picion. They advanced upon the Jail
shortly after midnight. The jailer re-
fused to surrend the keys. He was
overpowered and the keys taken from
him. Thacker was hurried to a tree
near the jail and was given time in
which to say his, prayers, which he
refused to do, but begged for his life.
To hush his cries, he was hitson the
head with rock and his unconscious
body strung up until life had become
.extinct.

The latest enterprise for Roanoke is
a large factory for the manufacture of
candy, which will be established at
an early day. Mr.. Miller of the firm
of Miller e. Higdon. which was lately
dissolved, and Mr.. Andrews. of Char
lotte. N. c., will be the proprietors.
They have leased large brick build
ing on Commerce street, and will begin
operation as soon as the necessary
apparatus and machinery can be. put
in position.
The fact that splendidly equipped
hosiery factory will be in active opera
ton in Roanoke within the next six
weeks is not very well known. The
matter has been kept very quiet, and
the gentlemen who win establish the
enterprise have transacted all their
business through two or three of ths
city's leading business men. One OF
the proprietors is now IN the city
making necessary arrangements te
have the machinery shipped within the
next two weeks.
