Trains Can Pass Now
    The big slide on the Virginian, near the Allegheny summit has so far been removed as to allow the passage of trains. On Tuesday evening last the first train to pass on Virginian rails between this place and Roanoke since the slide, was sent out about 6 o'clock. This was followed by numberless coal trains at intervals of twenty minutes throughout the night in the endeavor to clear the yards and sidings of coal accumulated for several days past while the road was blocked.
