If' there wa orh in the present Opposition to vots dower the repeal bill, he asked that that Dower sahouId be exercised. iIe was ready to embrace its fate whatever it might be, and his own with it. iBut he appealetd to Senators to come toa vote.

He had hoped for some indica-. .tions from the other side, but as yet $ere was an absence of any Indication *f a willingness to fIx a time, and that et evinced to his mind that ho could fl~aflf) tethe fixing of an~y time by - n ewarned the op posi tion that pub opinion would hold them to an ac counting.

ROANOKE, VA., September 20.-One of the most dastardly crimes in the his tory of the city occurred at about 10 o'clock this morning. Mrs. l1enry S. Bishop, aged about 50 years, and a re spectable white woman, from Clover dale, eight miles from this city, was en ticed by a negro named Thomas Smith from the market, where she had come to sell produce, into an empty saloon b:isement, where he beat her into in sensibility and robbed her of her pock otbook containing less than two dol lars. The woman was left for dead but managed to revive a few minutes later and crawled up to the street., whore she told her story. The fiend had in the meantime es caped, but was detected from the do. scription given by Mrs. Bishop board ing an outgoing train. A colored man Junped on the car and grabbing the crimimia I the two fell to the ground. A crowd immediately surrounded the priscner and threatR of lynching were loud and frequent. Detective Captain W. W. Baldwin eeized the man and, holding the crowd at b-Ay with his re volvor, started on horseback with the frightened negro behind him. Herode to the saloon where the wounded wo man was removed, and she positively identiied him. lie was then taken to jAil. A crowd gathered around the jtil, and kept increasing as night ap proached. At 5 o'clock the Roanoke Light Inufantry marched to the jail by order of Mayor Trout. Guards were posted and the streets in the immedi ate vicinity were cleared. About, dark the crowd was increased by a hundred men from the vicinity of the woman's home headed by Mrs. Bishop's son, a fireman on the Norfolk and Western Itailroad. At 8 o'clock a portion of the mob battered at a side door of the jail, where the militia and Mayor Trout had retired. The shooting was commenced by tie mob, and the mayor was shot in the foot. The militia were then ordered to re turn the fire, and a volley from about twenty-five rifles was poured into the mob. It is thought tnat about live men were killed by this fire and as many more wounded, some of them fa. tally. During the excitement caused by the volley the negro was taken from the jail by an oflicer and secreted. The dead mnd wounded were remove.1 to a1 druq store and to the ollicas of near by physicians. The militia were then dis pvrsed and left the scene as quietly as possible. Tho following is a list of dead and in jiired as tar as known at present: Dead-8. A.

At the Itichmond and I%tviflo It il- d road yesterday there were two innocent c. looking barrels such as dried fridt and c oftentimes vegetables are shipped in. One of these innocent lookinr barrels was consizued to 1t. F. Clark and the other to John S'.uirt Columbia. They rve no in,lications of the "evil that y lurked within.'' Another package that ei lo)ked as imuocent as atn old timno dar- V dov used to lo:k when aceuwd ol takin- S a watermelon was seizzd. But Uncle Sam's agents were on the l lookout; they had come across such things as these before. The box was 1 marked "D.," Darlington, S. C.
