Wood Before the Engineers' Association. Changes lu tin' is.1 iniiic of Streets ami N'umbcriu? of Houses Recommended. Tliu Conslltutluu mill Itv l.inm Ainend Association Completes Its Work and Visit to the I Development Company. Tho Engineers' Association was in session noarly all day long yesterday, and a groat deal of work was accom? plished, the most important of which was the indorsement of a now consti? tution. The forsnoon session was called to order at 11 o'clock by President Win gate, who announced that tbo first or? der of business should bo tbo presenta? tion of tho president's address.

Ho was sorry to say that tbo address which be bad prepared was not satisfactory to him for obvious reasons, and be asked tho indulgence of tho association and permission to print it with tbo proceed? ings of tho meeting. President Wingato introduced tho now president, Clarence M. Coloman, who upon taking tbo chair, thanked as? sociation for tho honor it had conferred upon him. The remainder of tho morning ses? sion was tauen up with tbo reading of papor by Mr. Oeo.

P. Woods, engineer in charge of tho olllclal survey in Roan oko, in regard to tho work being done in this direction, and a discussion of tho Hame. Tho first part of tho papor was de? voted to a descriptioa of tho work done, a description of which was recently pub lishid in Tilk TlHRS. Mr. Wood has tho following to say In regard to naming and numbering of stroots: "At present the unlimited centenary system is authorized.

Under proper conditions this Bystem is undoubtedly "tho best; but it seems strango that iL should bo adopted by tho city of Roan oke, with its many diagonal streets and streots which havo directions peculiarly their own. Py tho present method an avenue of one number may lead to streots which, instead of having house numbers correspoudlg to the number of tho avenue, are several hundreds, or blocks, bigbor or lower. This causes confusion, especially to strangers. It is to bo hoped that before the names of streets and avenues aro put upon tho map some authorized change will bo "No change will bo made in'thc num? bers of most streets whoso direction is nearly north and south, but several will receive fractional numbers. All streets having a goneral easterly or westerly direction, and all that cross tho num? bered streets will bo named and with the excoption of Oainsboro, Poach and Franklin roads and Riversido boulevard bo called avenues.

The numbeting on Franklin road, tho Riversido boulevard and all avenues will be from Jefferson street; on Poach and Gainsboro roads and all streets from the Norfolk and Western railroad. On motion of Mr. Cummings ex-Prosi dont Wingato was requested to sit for his photograph for the purposo of hav? ing it published in tho annual proceed? ings of the association. Mr. Cummings also offered a resolu? tion to the effect that the board of di? rectors be authorized to apply to tho board of managers of tbo association of engineering societies for admission to tho association.

This motion was amended so as to read that the board of directors bo authorized to apply to tho board of managers of tho association of engineering societies if, in their judg? ment, it is desirable and within tho present linancial ability of tho associa? tion. Artbington C. Gilpin extended an in? vitation to the association to visit tho Roanoke Development Company's prop? erty, which was accepted. The visit to tho various industries was a vory on joyablo one and the mcmbors expressed themselves as doliirhted with tho var? ious industries, especially the Shelf Hard ward Plant. Tho afternoon session was wholly consumed with a discussion of tho now constitution and rules, as was also a greater part of tho night session.

At night Mr. C. J. Cushman read a very interesting paper on steam boiler ox plosions and tho constitution was again taken up and finally indorsed. President Coleman announced the fol? lowing standing committees for tho en? suing year: Marr, Cushman.

A shooting alTair occurred near the Crozer Furnaeo yesterday aftornoon about 1 o'clock, in which a recent bride and groom figured conspicuously.

Two eeks ago William Ferguson was mar? ried to Annie Hlack, who is a plain, simple girl, only ir. years old. Tho first week of tho honeymoon was spent seem? ingly without a wavo of trouble to dis? turb the harmony ana bliss of tho happy couple. It seems from what information could bo gained fiom Mrs. Ferguson's brother that prior to the marriage of his sister and Wro.

Forgurson, ono Norman Po i ins was also a suitor for the hand of his sister, but through tho influence of her father marrlt-d Ferguson two weeks ago. Two days ago she left him and returned to her mother's. Friday night Pegins came from Clovordalo mines, where ho had been at work, and at once proceeded to tho houso of Mrs. Ulack, whoro bo always stops when in tho city. Yesterday tho deserted husband with a trusty shotgun went to reclaim the truant wifo and bring ber home.

Heforo arriving at her mother's bo met his former rival and it was a hail fellow well met, and tho two walked in toward Mrs. Black's houso seemingly on tho best of terms. Pegins, according to his own state? ment, was drunk, while Ferguson was apparently cool. On arriving at tho house tho husband asked his wife to so homo with him, but she refused. Thou Ferguson and Pegins becamo engaged in a friendly tustlo in which tho former, was dragged off tho porch.

Pegins got mad and attempted to fight Ferguson, but was prevented by John Black, who caught Pegins and hold him while Fer? guson took his gun and started away. Pegins succoeded in releasing himself from Black's grasp and pursued his lleeing rival with a rock in his hand. Ferguson.still back to his pursuer to stop, and when ho failed to i obey ho turned and tired at his legs, but this failed to stop Pegins, and he turned again and tired, striking Pegins in tho head and also in his hand, as he threw it in front of his face just as tho gun went olT. Several small shot peppered Pegins about tho head and face, but he was not seriously injured. Ferguson went to tho station houso and give him? self up.

I3o was locked in a cell pend? ing a hearing. Ferguson was released last night by Howerton on $50 bail. IW 1.1. JACKSON AltltESTED. Thought to bo the Man Who Struck Otllcer Adams, of I.j im Ii Um-? Mayor Evans received a communica? tion yesterday from the mayor of Pocahontas, informing him that a negro named Hill Jackson had beon arrested at that placo.

Jackson is wanted hero by tho police. About a year ago ho throw a lighted lamp at Lottie May, on Railroad avenue and nearly killed her. Jackson made his escape, and this Is the-first heard of him. In his communication to Mayor Evans, tho Pocahontas olllcial statod that Jack? son had been fined $31.50 for the offenso ho had com mi teil there, and that he appeared to be very anxious to pay tho fine and get away. Several members of the polico forco hore are certain that Jackson is tho man who assaulted Policoman Adams in Lynchburg last week.

His great basto to get away from Pocahontas is taken as an indica? tion that this suspicion is true. Chief of Police Jones has sent a warrant to Pocahontas for Jackson's arrest on tho charge of assaulting Lottie May, and ho will probably bo brought liero in a few days. THE A It II BENEFIT. Many More Tickets Sold -Every Indica? tion Crowded Uouse. Good progross was made yesterday by Brennan and Layton in dis? posing of tickets for the Mabry boneflt at the Opera Houso Monday night, and tho policemen also sold a largo number.

There is no doubt that the Opora Houso will be crowded, and as Mrs. Mabry will receive tho ontiro proceeds of tho entortanment, her wants will be pro? vided for for a long timo to como. Tho exhibition will be entirely freo from any objectionable features, and ladies can safely attend it. Pretended to be Sick. Wm.

Cooper, the colored man who was sentenced to tho city jail for ono year tho othor day, used some vory des? perate methods to get out of his coll at the polico station. Ho made out that ho was very sick and did manage to vomit some. Tho authorities thought that he was up to somo trick, and when Dr. Buckner camo in yesterday morn? ing bo was asked to examino Cooper. He did so and prescribed a ball and chain for him.

It is to say that tho prescription was quickly filled. Sent the Grand Jury. Justico I lower ton tried tho casosof J. P. Calloway, Calloway and Thos.

Dr. Meade and famllr of deceased. MORNING, JANUARY RQANOKE'S COURT QUESTION Affected by a Recent Decision of the Court of Appeals. Tho Jurisdiction or the Jnetloo Court? Curtailed, thus lut-reuslng the Work of tho Corporation Trial by Jury be Instituted In the Police Court nn I'nsettled Hardaway the First Lawyer to Tnke Advantage of the Decision.

The supreme court ot Virginia has rendered a decision aiTecting the juris? diction of tho justices of the peace, which gives a now phase to tho court question in Roanoko. Mary Miller, the plaintiff in error, was tried before a justice of tho peaco of Rockingham county, and sentenced to pay a fine of 8100 for a misdemeanor, from which she appealed to tho county court, and before any further proceedings were had, sho moved tho court to quash the warrant and disobargo her from cus? tody on tho ground that tho justlco had no jurisdiction in the case. Tho mo? tion was overruled, and her caso oamo up for trial, the jury returning a ver? dict of guilty, and fixing her punish? ment at one month and twenty days in jail, and a fine of S17. A motion for a new trial was overruled, but a writ of error was awarded by ono of tho judges of tho supremo court. Tho paper quotes from tho uodc and nays: "Jusiocs of peace and polico justices are given jurisdiction over the offonso concurrent with that of tho county and corporation courts." The woman was charged with keeping a dis? orderly house.

The opinion states that tho guarantee of tho constitution relied on is plain and unambiguous and de? clares in unmistakable terms that in all Orlminnh offenses tho accused has tho right to a speedy trial by an impartial jury. further explains that there are many minor olTonces, such as Subhath broaking, drunkenness, vagrancy, Ac, which are triable without a jury, and tho right of trial by jury is that which existed when tho constitution was adopted. Tho paper stipulates that tho keeping of a disorderly house does not come in this class, and torms it an of? fence of a gross nature. "There is no the opinion declares, "of which wo aro aware that holds that the olTenco is, or at any time in our judicial history ever was, triable without jury, ami it is needless to say that it is not competent for the legislature byclassify ing it, as it has dono in section 4100 of tho-code, with offenses which are so triable, to deprive a person accused of tbo olTenso of the benefit of a jury trial." Tho judgment of tho lowor court was reversed and the plaintiff ordered to be discharged from custody. The lawyers of Roanoko who havo noticed this decision aro agreed that it will, by curtailing tho jurisdiction of the justices of tho peace, put moro bus- loess in tho corporation court.

As i most of them havo not yet seen tho opinion in full, they would not express a definite opinion as to tho extent of tho clfect of tho decision, though sov- oral who wero seen by a Timms re- i porter regarded tho decision as a strong argument in favor of the criminal court. instead of tho establishment of a now circuit consisting of Roanoko city and Bedford county. It was suggested that the police jus? tice, provided for in the now charter, be empowered to try such eises by jury as may bo required under the constitution, according to tho decision of tbo suprome court. A reporter talked with several lawyers on this subject, but none of them bad looked into the matter sufll cicntly to cxpross a doflnito opinion. Mr.

VV. O. Hardaway has so far as known gone on record as the first law jor in tbo Stato to tako advantage of decision of tbo court of appeals. In tbo Hustings Court yesterday bo ap? peared for Pinkoy Montaguo in tho caso which was an appeal from a justice court, in which court sho was fined S50 and costs. Tho counsel presented tho decision of tbo court of appeals in tho Mary Miller caso and on this ground succeeded in having tho decision of the lower court sot aside.

The chargo against tho woman, and tho ono on which tho warrant was sworn out, was instituted by W. B. Williams, a proprietor of a livery stable and was to the effect that she, whilo driving out on Mill mountain, damaged a horse and buggy belonging to Mr. Williams. Tilt With a Stick of Wood.

J. B. Staples was arrostod and brought in last night by Oflicor Kanos on a war? rant sworn out by an old man named J. B. Cross, Staples' father-in-law, who charged Staples with assaulting him with a stick of wood.

It seems that Cross was boarding at Staples' house and tho two bocamo involved in a quar? rel over the preparation of some fuel, when Staples doalt Cross a terrific blow on the head with a stick of wood, in? flicting a sovcre and painful wound. Postotilce Improvements. The vestibule of tho postofflco has in the last two days undergone a thorough renovating and cleaning. Tho walls have been kalsominod, and a new coat of whito wash put on. All advertise? ments havo been taken out, and horo after no signs or notices of any charac? ter will bo allowed.

In Manitoba, North Dakota, and in the Canadian northwest the temperature ranged from thirty to ll'ty degrees be? low zero in spirit thermometers. 17, I FUNERAL OF THE DUKE. The Intermenr to Take Place Wednesday at Noon. London, Special tions for tho funeral of the Duko of Clar? ence and Avondalo are being mad on all sides at Sandringham by tho railway companies and at Windsor. Tho state? ments regarding tho condition of tbe Queen's health are grossly oxaugerated.

She is greatly affected by tho death of her favorite hor depression would naturally tend to make hor more liable to an attack of tho prevailing epidomic of influenza, but that sho is serlowsly or at all unwell is not shown by tho arrangements that bavo been made for her presence at tho funeral ceremonies. As has now been decided her majesty will remain at the Osborno House until fi olther Monday nlgbt or Tuesday morn? ing. She will then proceed on tho royal yacht to Portsmouth, from which place a special train will convoy her to London. She will arrive at Windsor oastle early Tuesday. The body of tho duke will be conveyed from Sandrlng ham and will arrive at Windsor castle on the same-day.

All the details of tho funeral have not been arranged, but it is announced positively that tho interment will take place at noon Wed nesday. Tho body will bo placed in its crypt In St. (ioorge's ohapel. GONK TO- TBE BOGS. i lic Legislature Tinlc-orlnc Away ut Vir? ginia i.UWH.

Frve of tho members of Uouso oora tnittee on foroign affairs called at the Department of State betoro noon to pay their respects- Secretary Maine. This visit was in pm suance of the established whereby at the beginning of euch- Congress the committee of the House, whtoh has to lo with' foreign relations calls u.jon the Secretory of State. Usually these visits are purely formal, and particularly is this- true when a majority of tho House is-polltioally op? posed to tbo Scorotary. Hut the call made by the committee- was awaited with much interest-, for it was expected the strained rolations between thia-oountry and Chill touched upon by tho Secretary.

Tho flvn members of the committee wore Chairman Mount, Hooker, tieary, O'Donnoll and Harmer, and according to thoir statements Mr. Maine dioS not make a single direct allusion to our rolation with Chili. To tho surprise of tho oommlttee he did oali to their attention to the neces? sity for speedy action by Congross upon tho Nicaragua sanal project Tho secre? tary was fully equipped with faots and figures to support his and very fluently he described the political Importance of Vho canal, tho volume of tratlio which would probably pass through it, and tho advantages to- ac srue from a retention of its manage? ment and control, in American hands. Incidentally it was made to the committee that the possession of such a water-way between tho Atlantic and 1'aoiflc oceans would bs of enormous itratogic advantage, if it shwuld be locossary to transfer our naval vessels one side of tbo country to tho Hut of tho Chilian troubles, the loorctary said not a word direotly. It cannot bo learned that any.oornmu sations have passed this morning be the State Department and Minis tor Egan, nor was Sonor Moult, tbo Chilian minister, at the department.

Tbo trouble with Chill is fast ap? proaching a climax. Whether it shall bo war or peace will be known in a vory few days. The attitude of tho adminis? tration has not changed a particle. Tho President) is growing more and more irritated ovor tho dolay of Chill in answering his demand for an apology ind an indomity for tbo assault upon the Baltimore's sailors. For a time it seemed as if the matter would be sottled through Sonrotary Maine and Minister Moivtt, but that liopo has gono by.

The Presl lent is simply waiting now to learn from Minister Egan tho result of his efforts to induce tho Chilian government Lo withdraw tho now famous noto of ox Minister Matta.

Tho President is very anxious about this. Ho sent word to Minlstor Egan several days ago directing hira to Insist upon its withdrawal. No roply has yet boon received from Mr. Egan. This de? lay is regarded by the administration as strong indication that Chili is'not lisposed to be friendly toward tho United States and doos not intend to make it possible to maintain peace.

A oablo from Roar Admiral Walker, at Montevideo, received to-day inteusi llos the fooling in tho Cabinet that tbo soonor tho Chilian matter is brought to a head tho bettor. Tbo cablo was to Secrotary Tracy and proved that tho Chilian government is not remaining idle tho progress of warllko prepara? tions in this country. Rear Admiral Walker informs tbo Navy DoDartinont that a consignment of 100 Whitehead torpedoes passed through Montevideo to-day on their way to Valparaiso. This plainly indicates what has boon inti? mated in theso dispatches horotofore, that Chili is making full as active pre? parations for hostile operations as aro being in ado in this country.
