No Contractor Found 10 Put Up the Building
for $4,000.
The Council Committee on Grounds and
Buildings met last evening In the Chancery-
Court room to consider proposals for build.
Ing the new City Hall.
Months ago. In a contest in which there
were several competitors. the prize for the
best plan for the hall was awarded to Col
onel Myers, Of Detroit, the understanding
ard agreement being that the cost OF the
building should not exceed the approDria-
tion-S3O0, 600. Colonel Myers said he
would furnish bidder to do II within that
amount.
The committee last evening resolved to
spread upon the black board the names OF
all the bidders. but not TO give the bids
unless IL was found that there were one or
more bidders for the work a. a whole, or
that there were enough bids in separate
items 10 cover the whole work. A consId-
crable number Of the bidders were present,
and thew all agreed that this arrangement
was iail
II was found that no person made bid
for the work as a whole and that only about
two thirds OF the work was covered by
separate bids. These bidders were as fol-

The committee returned all these bids (un-

Myers TO come on here at once and confer
with them and comply with his obligation
TO furnish bidder TO do the work for a
sum less than 100000.
Myers has not vet received his $1,000
premium for his plan, and will not unless
he furnishes or the city can get a bidder.
Several Of the bidders present last night

according to the present plan and specif-
cations will cost between i've and six hum
dred thousand dollars. The Myers plan.
az originally drawn, contemplated brick
building with sandstone trimmings, and
the estimated cost was S3il 900. As that
oyerstepped the appropriation, and wa,
not fer stone building, rs required, it
was changed to its present form.
This result Of the bidding causes no sur

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.I
OSANCOCK, September 30, 1884.
The Democrats have opened the cam
paign on the Eastern Shore in dead earnest.
Last week Thomas CroXtOn, the candidate
for Congress in this district, made speeches
al number of places on the Peninsula,
gong from CherrystOne TO ChincOteague
Island. Hon. c. +. Stuart arrived here on
Saturday and spoke on that day TO fine
crowd at PungOteague. and at CashyiIe
Saturday night flag woS flung to the breeze
from pole nearly 4 hundred feet high. in
the presence Of several hundred enthusias-
tic Democrats, who were addressed by local
speakers.
On Monday (cOurt-day) the largest crowd
assembled at Drummondtown since the
celebrated Daniel and Cameron campaign.
The spacious cOurt-2reen was filed TO over
flowing with the solid men Of the county
TO hear Mr.. CroXtOn and Speaker Stuart.
EX-Audli0r Brown Allen was present to
speak for the Republicans, and "A Joint dis
cussion was arranged between him and Mr..
Stuart.
Allen opened in 4 labored and rambling
effort for one hour. but failed to make any
impression on the crowd. Stuart REPLIED
in speech OF one hour and half. utterly
Giscomiiting hi. adversary and ridiculing
him and his party unmerciiully. lIart
rakCd Allen with shot and shell and caused
tie great crowd to cheer and laugh at
Aliens expense.
When Alien came TO reply he had 80 lost
his head that his frantic efforts 10 deieud
himself from the severe arrlicument which
Stuart made against him provoked de-
risiye laughter in the crowd, and 1t i gene
rally conceded that only two white men in
the crowd seemed to symp1thize with
him-Onc Federal oiiice-h0lder, the other
a crazy man from Mary land.
AllCn was 80 glad TO get away tia. "a
soon as his time was up lac seized his hat
and documents and left in hot haste.
Never was a man more terribly cXcorisfed
ly speaker. or more severely rebaked by
the silence Of his auditors.
Nr. CToXton followed in a powerful
sTeech, in which he arrai. ned the Repubn-
can patty in scath.ng terms, showing the
necessity OF turning the rascals out and
putting in men who will conduct the Gov
ernmCnt on honest principles. His speech
aroused great enthusiasm and convinced
all who heard it that be Is the proper man
to represent this district.
Monday night Mr.. CroXtOn made mag
nifccnt speech at Onancock before a large
audI'nce. which eyInced the greatest
unaEimity and enthusiasm. To-day he re-
turns to the We.tcrn Shore with the ASST
rance that he will get at least l 400 majority
in the two counties on this side the Chesa-
peakc. CroXton's election is assured. and
the manner in which he has been received
here shows that there il no detection
among the Democrats OF the Eastern shore.

THE NOME TEAM DEFEATED.
The indianapolis Win Their First Game
With tbe virgtnias.

With the Virgfntas.
Between seven and eight hundred per-
sons witnessed the first meeting between
the boys from Indiana aud the home team
ut Virginia PARK yesterday afternoon.
Dugan and Quiuton served rs the
Virginia battery, while the visitors
presented their crack pitcher, Me-
Kcon. supported behind the bat by
Keenan,. The game was opened by
the VirgiEias, who were first at the bat,
scoring one run on three. base hlt by
MGnsell. he coming home on wild pitch.
In the fourth inning another run was made
by Powell, who. after striking out. got
first on Keenan's muif Of the third
strike, advanced to third. on another
mufr Of Larkin's third strike, and got
home on passed ball. The third and
last run was made In the ninth
inning of hits by Scnenek and Hanna, both
being advanced by passed ball, and
Schenck crossing the home-plate on q se-
cond rassed hall. The home team were
unsuccessful throughout the whole game
in understanding Nckeon's delivery. which
was not only puzzling, but remarkably
swift, be striking out sixteen OF the
twenty-seyen, while only five scat.
teriDg bits were made OFF OF him.
Tie Vlsiiois scored three OF thctr runs
IN the second inning off MaDselrs
and ScbeDck's errors, Watkins's hit. Nc
Kcon's three-bagger, and Donelly's hit,
two OF the runs being cleanly earned. They
were then successfully BANKED up TO the
eighth inning. when Keenan,, with three
base-hit and 4 passed ball, made the fourth
and winning run. The game, IN its en-
tirety. was highly interesting. some OF
the plays on both sides ellciting gene
rous applause. The feature of the
game. however, was the brilliant double
play in the seventh inning, when Man.
sell caught Mckeon's long fly, which ordi-
narily would have been good for three
bases, and from against the rght-fieId fence
threw the ball home i'm time TO catch Lewis
before he crossed the plate. The applause
which greeted this play was prolonged for
some time. QuiDton 10 putting out the
runner in this play had his right thumb
badly sprained, necessitating the substtu-
tiOn OF Hanna TO finish the game. Another
pretty double play was made in the infeld
by Larkin and Powell. The following is

"Thc October SUM-" discovered here by
Daniel Webster about forty years ago, has
been all along considered the perfection OF
weather. This year ii is an exception. We
have now summers heat, and added To II
severe drought. Streams are falling, the
grass is scorched 40 il by fire, and the
fields are too hard TO plough. But
there Is expectation OF better weather.
There was a very good rain north and west
OF us Tuesday evening. aud il came within
the county OF Hanover, but passed Us by.
Our time will come next.
Happily droughts no longer affect our

nice, clear water; but for the good Of the
