this Chamber held on October II, 1881, IL

OF the acquisition by the United States Gov
ernment OF the telegraphs throughout the
country"
The preponderence OF opinion was who'll

and delegates favored the purchase Of eN-
i>ting line, by the Government rs a matter
OF equity, they believing that the Govern.
ment would and could convey message,
more rapidly, more certainly, and more
economically than existing companies could
or would do.
The Executive Council OF this Chamber

condition Of the crisis brought about by
the present strike OF teleraphers.
The Council win he glad to know as

The Electric Light.

The effort to have the electric light in
Richmond is not to be abandoned. Cap
tam Andrew PizZini means to make appli-
cation for the privilege in his own name,
so that for want OF leader Richmond shall
not longer be forced to endure the shame
Of being the only city OF its size in this
country which is not so supplied.
The people will sustain the City Council
in all proper efforts to protect her inter
estS. All that they do with sincere regard
for the public welfare will be approved and
appauded. but the people want the electric
light. Surely the difficulties are not insur-
mountable by the Council. If so, the mat
ter might be referred to vote OF the peo-
ple. Put the question, For the electric
light" Against the electric light and
see what the people are really in favor OF.
Captain Pizzinis information is that the
electric light does not interfere with the
sale and consumption OF gas. Gas stocks
that went down when it was first intro
duced in New York soon rebounded. lie
and many other reliable gentlemen who
have investigated the subject feel sure that
it win not iniure the city's Gas property
Ii this is so, formidable reason for opposi-
tion is removed.

Baseball.

SPIRITED CONTEST YESTERDAY, IN wu!CH
THE TRENrONs DEFEAT THE HOME NINE BY A
SCORE OF to 3-TEN INNINGS PLAYED.
One Of the most interesting and exciting
games OF baseball witnessed here this sea-
son was played yesterday afternoon between
the TrentOns. Of New JERSEY, and the VIr-
ginias. In the first inning the visitors Sc
cured three runs two OF them being on
errors by Nash aud the Virginias one,
Glenn leading off with three-base hit and
finally getting home. The succeeding four
innings resulted in blanks for both sides.
BY hard batting in the sixth the Virginias
made two more runs, blanking their oppo-
nents and tieing the game. Neither side
were able to score in the other three in
nings. causing the score TO stand at
the end OF the ninth three to three,
which necessitated tenth inning. In
this the visitors by a fortunate punching
OF base hits (maling Eve OF the nine ere
dited TO them in the game) secured four
runs and BANKED their opponents. making
them the winners by score OF TO 3. Ii
was generally conceded that but for the
unfortunate errors Of Nash i'm the first in
ming the Virginils would have come of
victors by score OF to |. The batteries
OF each team did excellent work, and were
well supported by both inner and outer
fields. SchaTf, Of the Nirginias, and Green,
OF the TrentonS, carried of the honors i'm
fielding. Both Glenn aud Scharf would
probably have gotten i'm home runs but for
the quick playing o! Green, the former
making Il clear threC-base hit. and the lat
ter Il two-bagger. The following is the

Death OF Alfred +. Harris.

This well-knOwn gentleman and long
time resident and merchant OF this city
died vt the White sulphur Springs yester.
day, TO which place he went about month
ago, having four weeks before been TO Bal
timore and had an operation for cataract OF
the eve, which proved unsuccessful, and
was the immediate cause OF his death.
The deceased was born in the county Of
Powhatan in the year 1899, and about 1915
became citizen OF Richmond, and had
ever since lived here. He entered business
life as a clerk i'm the commission-house OF
Mr.. George Perkins, and after some years
service in that capacity was admitted as
partner-the firm being Perkins d Harris,
and il so continued till Mr.. Perkins died
after which Mr. Harris and Mr.. Robert
Riyes thc father OF the late Hon. William
G. Rives) formed partnership, and con-
tinued the business under the name OF
Riyes & Harris till Mr.. Rives's death. Mr.,
Harris from that time till 1852 was carry
ing on business on his own account and in
his own name, when he formed partner
ship with Mr.. W. ID. Gibson.
About 1860 Mr.. Harris retired from
business, but resumed after the war, the
firm being Alfred T. Harris d Son, and
this lasted till the 1st OF January, 1888,
when il was dissolved.
Mr.. Harris was married TO Miss Cathe-
rine Brandcr. OF Manchester, who survives
him, and they have two children-Alfred
Il. Harris, Jr., who married in Kentucky.
and who is now resident Of Louisville,
and Mrs. Daniel ID. Talley, OF this city.
Mr.. Harris was a man Of the highest in
tegritv and sense OF honor, rs hundreds OF
people who had business with him in his
long residence here will cheerfully testify.
He was a director III the old Bank OF
Virginia, and was for many years senior
director Of the Mutual Assurance Society
OF Virginia, which position he resigned
only about year ago, on account OF I'll
health. Before the war he was a State
commissioner OF free schools. He long
served rs director OF the Virginia Fire and
Marine Insurance Company, and OF the
Male Orphan Asylum. and was quiet and
unostentatious but intelligent, thoughtful,
and useful man. HIS remains will. arrive
here by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
train at 4 p. NJ. to-day, and the funeral
will take place from his late residence, No.
