A special train consisting of a bag? gage and three Pullman cars rolled into the Union depot yesterday morn? ing at 10:20 o'clock over the Norfolk and Western railroad. The train was that of President Ex. Norton, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad he was accompanied by the following well-known gentlemen from the North: Messrs. 11 Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad company; Hindekoper, president ot the South Atlantic and Ohio railroad company: Earnest Cassell, of London, England; Jacob Shif, of the banking firm of Khun, Loeb Company, New York; Frank Einiuons and Kittying Euimons, his sou. of New York; Ed ward Atkinson, of Boston, a distin? guished writer on political economy; Higginson, of Lee, Higginson Company, bankers.

New York: .1 Warner, a prominent lawyer of Now York; George Blagdon, of the firm of Clnrke, Doods A' Company, New York; John Greenaugh, of the linn of Poore, Greenaugh Company, New York, and General JamesB Wilson, a Federal figure in the late war. Mr. Thomas, piesident and general manager of the Nashville and Chat? tanooga railroad company, will join the party at Chattanooga. As soon as the train arrived the entire party went down to the Ma? chine Works and went over the plant under the guidance of Vice President Eddy, nnd Mr. S.

B. Haupt, superin? tendent of the works. After taking in all the sights at the shops the party went up to Hotel Roanoke. where a good view of the city can be obtained and after "viewing the landscape o'er," lett at 11:13 o'clock for the South, accompanied Mr. Eddy, of the Norfolk and Western, under whose charge the party is while they are on this road.

From this city they went to Radford. and from there over the New River Road to the mines at and uear Pocahontas, and leaving there they go to Bristol, where tin East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road is taken for Chattanooga, which place will be reached today. From Chattanooga they take in South Pittsburir. Victoria and Inman. Ten? nessee, and arrive at Nashville on Sunday.

On Monday and Tuesday. Birmingham. Anuiston and Shelby will be inspected, and from there they go direct to Louisville, where the re.st of tho trip will be determined npon. This party is composed of a large number of prominent men, capitalists of tho North, and the amount ot money represented is enormous. A TlMKS reporter had a very pleasant interview- with President Fx.

Norton. Said he: uOur excursion is proving a big success and is resultingvery satis? factorily to all parties. The object is not only to show up the improvements along my line of road, but we desire to show tho people the rapid rise of some of the South's young cities, which are fast falling into the full rush and razzle dazzle of metropolitan life. The South's progress beats all the wonders of the Arabian Nights with a tin shop of Alladin's lamps thrown in. You have a very progressive city here The situation is good and I see many marks of importance since I was last here Roanoke will be a big city, and here the conductor pulled the bell cord and the train moved off without giving the president an op? portunity of finishing his tribute to our city.

Mr. Norton bade the repor? ter a hasty adieu and the train was lost to view in the distance. A Loss to Snllolk. Soseph L. Little, one of Suffolk's most worthy young men, whose moral worth is above the average, left on Wednesday for Roanoke, where he is to engage in business, which the Herald hopes will be pleasant and successful.

The social musical and religsous circles will miss him and his influence in Herald. Contract Awarded, Mr. J. E. Muleare has been awarded the contract for litting up all the gal? vanized iron piping on the Ponce de Leon hotel by a firm in Syracuse, New York.

Mr. Muleare is alive and ener? getic man from Rocky Mount and gives thanks to his many friends for their patronage and hopes they will doutinuethe same. A Sew The brewery company is erecting a hotel just opposite its plant in the East End. There are a number of new buildings going up in that section of the city, and when the brewery is in successful operation which will be about May 10, everything will hum down there, Tho Pocahontntt Strike Ended. The strike of the employes of the Southwesternlmprovement company, a full account of which was published in yesterday's Timks, is at an end, the men having returned to work.

Quiet has been entirely restored. Tbe Friendship Fair, The usual large crowd attended the fair last night-. Prof. Keely's orches? tra furnished the music which was fully up to its always high standard. A large attendance is expected to? night.

A BAULKY ENGINE. nnt (lie Party MuUcs the Test ol tlic Morton Salcty floater. Two cars which had been equipped with the apparatus of the Morton safety which were to have carried a load of Roanoke capitalists to Buchanan and hack on the track of the Shenandoah this morning. They were ready for tho trip and so were the capitalists, but at the lust moment the locomotive that wastp have furnished the motive power, became baulky and it was thought best not to trust it. Rut, though the trip could not be made, Captain Branscoin who had charge of the affair determined that the test should.

So he invited the gentlemen who had assembled to the lower port ion of the yard and the cars soon followed them. Among the party was resident of the Roanoke and Southern: Councilman Buckner, Professor William Taylor Thorn, Dr. Sorrel 1, Mr. Eugene rington and a number of other gentle men. VIce-President Eddy joined them Boon after they arrived.

The cars were hacked up to where the party stood waiting and Superin? tendent Thomson, with couple of thermometers under his arm, led the way inside. The atmosphere inside wa.s pleasant and the thermometers registered seventy-three. The gentle? man sat down and told stories while tho steam connections being In a couple of minutes two of the party who badon overcoats took them off, in three minutes they were using their hats as fans, while the hands of the thermometer went stead ily up. Then a tiny bead of perspi? ration rolled down the brow of one of the party off from the cud of his Inexactly ten minutes the therinSjjieter register ed eighty-six or a rise of thirteen. Then the steam was cut off but the temperature continued to rise rapidly and twelve minutes later it was ninety-nine degrees.

By this time most of the party had vacated the car and they the system an eminent success. It is simple like most irreat inventions are. Its the same thing in principal that they use in (Termany said Dr. Sorrell. "On the trains there they use porcelain stoves mid after keeping a tire in them for a couple of hours it is allowed to go out.

But all the same thecars are comfort? ably heated for a long time after? wards." 'Yes" answered another gentleman, "that is just where the superiority of the system over others is manifest. It is in storage. All other systems of steam heating have to have continu? ous supply of steam, thus constantly robbing the locomotives of the power it needs and must have. By the Morton system the heat is stored when the train is going down grade or at a standstill, and so that diffi? culty is obviated. The heat is stored in the four inch eilenden under the seat.

These cilenders contain terra cotta composition and retain the heat for hours." A meeting of the executive depart? ment of the company will he held in this city on Monday when it is ex? pected to take steps looking toward the establishment of a plant here. Hotel PA LACK IlOTKL.

COURT BUST CONSIDERING CASE, The Fidelity Insurance, TriiNt itnd llrpoMlt Company ot IMilladcl phla Aquilin! uir.Shciiaudonh Valley Railroad. An Array of Legal Talent. A famous ease will be decided in the Circuit Court today and one of the most tedious litigations ever known i In the state will probably come to an end. For two hours yesterday morning' from ten until twelve, the court was busy considering the case of the Fi? delity, Insurance Trust and De? posit company of Philadelphia, again.it the Shenandoah Valley rail? road. There was an array of legal talent seldom seen in the court room here, some of the brightest iegal minds of the country being present.

The con? flicting interests were represented by men with national reputations. Hon. William Trovers, of Churlestown, the general counsel, appeared for the railroad company. The plain? tiffs were represented by Messrs. Dixon Dale, two eminent lawyers from New York City.

The first mortgage bondholders bad Charles Lanibertou of New York, and Joseph Leeduru of Philadelphia, and the interest of the general bondholders were looked after by Judge Waller P. Staples, of Rich? mond, and Frank T.Clark, of Balti? more. The bill of the Fidelity company is of long standing, having been filed in 1885. It asks that the and third mortgage on the road be paid and tbe resuit was the appointment a ceiver. The claims of the plain titT have been sustained in both the Circuit court and Court of Appeals.

During the progress of the suit a number of interesting questions arose and these had to be decided. Among the most important of these were the claims of the Central Improvement company and that of the general mortgage stockholders. Upon the decision of today the future of the road to a great extent hangs. A OF 1'KOGItmS. Itouuokc a Motablr Example of this Somborn Boom.

Colonel Pat Donan, for years the great boonier-in-chief of Dakota and the New Northwest, to a reporter of the Manufacturers' Record, recently asked the following question "Why should the enterprising, in? dustrious, thrifty multitudes flock to the blizzardy plains of the far north? west, a region where it is winter nine months in the year, and d-d late in the fall the other it is a bitter struggle even for coyote or a prarie-dog to the South offers to all honet comers every bounty of soil, climate, mine and forest that Jehoviah himself could possibly be? stow on His most favored children? Why should capital seek investment in a thousand wild-cat schemes and remote barbarian lauds, when the grand treaMire-houses of the gods in the South only await the touch of enterprise and energy to pour their infinite riches into any coller?" Colonel Donan asked this cpaestion some time ago, and since then the tide has turned southward in full foree The whole South is a vast field of limitless resources, and it is only necessary to sow a little more money and nerve with an abundance of push and energy to harvest a whole crop of well paying ventures. The people realize this and are flocking to the Southland in large numbers. Especially is this the case in this part of Virginia where the growth has been marvelous, magical, glorious. One who never visits the freight depot would be surprised to know the amount of household goods that arrive, each belonging to families that have recently moved here. Some? times the number is as high as live or 6ix families a day.

These people must have a place of residence, a dwelling in which to live. Therefore attention is called to the West End property, a section that is blessed with so many and such vast natural advantages. The West End has the right men be? hind it. Men of push and business activity who are sweeping everything stupid and old fogyish out of their path, and have built up and beautified that section of our city till what was once arid desolution upon which a prairie dog would starve to death, is now the most favored portion, and one that is being much sought for as a place of residence. The land is high and rolls gently down to the river which runs through the property.

The Roanoke street railway company have extended their line through the entire length of the section, almost to the new furnace, which brings it into close connection with tho business portion of the city and gives it greater advantage now than formerly. This is especially convenient for the business man, as he is thereby enabled to reach his place of business early in the morning, and at the same time enjoy all the comforts of a suburban home. This is to be the benton sec? tion of the city and many beautiful residences are going up. Among those already completed are Messrs. R.

H. Woodrum's, James S. Simmons', and T. T. Fishburne's, all of which have nicely laid off grounds.

Messrs. James S. Simmons have a large lot of this property now on hand for sale. The lots in this sec? tion are going rapidly and are very valuable. Messrs.

Simmons have been closely identified with the West End and will give good bargains. FBOM 3ALF.M. What Im Going on tho Baity "Town an tlie Bond. TlMKS rcreau, HoTKL LUCBRITB, I )' One of the surest indications wf sue cess in the formation of a new city is tiie continued establishment of uew enterprises. Some time ago the Hols? tein woolen mills were secured in pros? pect for Salem, and yesterday definite? ly located.

The company will at any early date betrin the erection of three large buildings on the coruerof Bridge street, only a short distance from one of the new and handsome iron bridges now in process of construction aeros Roanoko river. The capital 6tock has been increased to 150,000, and this augmented supply of capital will en? dow the mills with ample facilities for the progress of their work. About operatives will be employed. The work on those iron bridges is being rapidly pushed forward and their completion will largely increase the value of the lands lying beyond the river. An order for fifteen thousand ice cream freezers has been secured oy the Salem Folding Chair Company, in conjunction with the Caniden Iron Works.

The thought of such a thing makes one's mouth water on a day like this. The Conrad Chair Company has gone actively to work. They mean business. The Salem Improvement Company has advertised for bids for the con? struction of six large and commodi? ous brick ware-huuses, which will probably be located on College av? enue. One of these buildings, Presi? dent Allemong informs me, is to be used as a furniture will be 50x100 feet in dimensions, con? sisting of two stories and a basement.

Today the papers were drawn up closing the sale of the farm formerly belonging to Professor Graybill, of Roanoke city. This farm, comprising about eighty-live acres was pur? chased by ten men at $4,000 last October, and is sold now for $15,000. Yesterday afternoon a team on one of the back streets ran over the little son of Clayton Howard, a color? ed barber. The child's leg was broken. This evening at eight o'clock in the Town Hall, the Annual Junior De? bate of the Demostheuian Literary Society is expected to take place.

The Salem band is unable to furnish music, and a committee has been dis patched to Koanoke to secure a band. Mr. Joseph T. Brand, formerly of Salem, but now a resident of Bristol, Tennessee, is at the Lucerne. T.

C. Oakley, a contractor and builder of "Roanoke, is in town. NOT A Winsome Winnie'-, Prospective band In a Good Democrat. It now transpires beyond the shadow of a doubt that the young man whom Miss Winnie Davis is to wed is not a scion of a howling abo? litionists and South-hater as has been alleged. The young man himself is a States rights Democrat of the first water and his father and grandfather wer of the same poitical faith.

He is a grandson of Judge Wilkin son, the founder of Syracuse, New York, and.a man universally beloved and honored. The Wilkinsons are an old aristo? cratic family which, from one gener? ation to another, have st )od at the top of the social ladder of Syracuse. Miss Winnie's prospective husband is a highly educated gentleman, hav? ing graduated among the first of his class at Harvard University. He is a lawyer by profession, and is regarded as one of the most promising and brainy youngmen of New Y'ork State A BOOM'S WORK. What it Did For a Bright Tonne Man From Blcbnioad.

An enterprising young gentleman of Richmond returned this morning from Southwest Virginia, where he went to revel in the heart of the spec? ulative boom His forehead was bruised and one eye was very black. He looked like he had just battled with a grizzly or fell down a high flight of stairs headforemost. A friend asked the cause of the warlike appearance, and the reply was: ''I was out in Southwest Vir? ginia prospecting for mineral land, and, like many others out there, kept my eyes on the ground pretty much all the time. While doing this I butt against another prospector who was searching just as intently as I was, and you ought to see his head. It looks like the war map of Egypt.

The young gentleman nevertheless thinks Southwest Virginia a great place and believes it will be greater Leader. Ho received a Message from tbe Express. Christopher Gould, the assistant dispatcher of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, who resides at 609 North Harrisburg, last Wednesday received $15,000 from the Louisana State Lottery. He held one-twentieth of ticket No. 8,174 which drew the first capital prize of $300,000 in the drawing of the 10th inst.

In a personal interview with the gentleman, he informed us that the first ticket he had ever purchased was about four month's ago, and that $8 was all that he had invested in Advocate, Sept. 27.

Goins is now in jail at Newbern and will have a preliminary hearing on Saturday. Stupendous Frauds in Kansas. By United Press.

New Yoke, April, 25, special from Paris, Texas, gives the details of a stupendous fraud which has been practiced in Stevens county, Kansas, upon charitable people of the west. On account of short crops last year many farmers were left in need of neessaries of life. A relief committee was formed, and an appeal for aid sent out. To this a generous response was received in the shape of provisions, clothing, etc. The two hundred distressed families were soon placed beyond want.

Then a number of rascals managed to get possession of further supplies as they came in, and actually organized a stock company to dispose of them and pocket the proceeds. These men have filled their smoke-houses, cribs and cellars with meat, corn, oats, wheat and potatoes given them by charitable strangers, besides realizing considerable money on articles which they sold. It is openly charged that the Stevens County Relief committee was organiz? ed to speculate upon charitable pro? clivities of the peopieofthe country. The fraud has been very shrewdly managed, and even the people of Kansas are not aware of the swindle. Clayton's Found.

By United Press. Los April winter during the Hoods in this sec? tion a rancher named Thomas Hooper died at Ranchito in this county. It is learned that prior to his death, the sheriff's officers here collected evi? dence sufficient, it is alleged, to im? plicate him in the murder of John M. Clayton, a brother of Governor Pow? ell Clayton, of Arkansas, after com? municating with Governor Eagle, of Arkansas, they were about to proceed to Ranchito and arrest him when the floods came and cut him off for a few days, and during the time'Hooper was taken down with pneumonia and died. It is alleged that the deceased told a friend, Charles Lewis, that he killed two men in Arkansas, who were concerned in lynching his Hooper's) father, and that there was a third man who he would yet kill.
