THE BASEBALL FIELD.
EASTERN LEAGUE MATTERS.

How the Climbs Now stand-The virsinias
Losing Grennd and the Nationals Coming
up-The virsinias Defeated Yesterday.
The Virginias during the past week
lost one third as many games as they
had previously lost during the entire
season. This is doubtless due to the
fact that the club has been weakened
ana somewhat disheartened by the re-
lease of the favorites, Nash and John
ston, and that no one had been en-
gagged to I'LL the vacancy made by the
release OF kimber, and thereby reliev-
ing Pyle from doing double duty.
This trouble, however, will now be
remedied, as the management have Sc
cured Gagus, who began pitching for. the
club at Bridgeport yesterday. The
Nationals, on the other hand, are in
good condition, have made a marked
advance, and are not now far behind the
Virginias, with good chance Of yet
taking the lead from the club which all
along has seemed like dead-sure win
ner. The other clubs have not changed
positions, Trenton, Norfolk, Newark,
and Bridgeport following in order.
The record for all games. including
those of yesterday, will be found below

Richmend as Cotton Market-A New
Bale.

The Charlotte IN. Co. Obserrer says
Over in Cabarrus two prominent
farmers, Martin A. Ludwig and John
II. Morrison. have for several years had
it hot and heavy as to which Of the two
should get the first bale of cotton on
the market. They have for some time
arrived in town on the same day with
their bales, and whichever won the
victory would win it by few hours
only. Last Monday morning at /
o'clock Mr.. Ludwig drove into town
with his new bale, and at : O'Clock had
sold it. Just about the time he was
starting to the depot with it his rival,
Mr. Morrison, drove into town with his
new bale. Mr.. Ludwig beat him by
three hours. Mr. Ludwig's bale
weighed 4S2 pounds, and was bought
by Cannons & Fetzer at III cents. 1t
was shipped by them to W. A. James,
Richmond. Va"
This bale reached Richmond a day
head Of the first bale received at Nor
folk.

Sudden Death Of a Lady-Escape from an on
c.r->easOnnble Rais- Births and Deaths
Personal and Statistical.
Correspondence ofths Richmond Dispatch.
PETERSBURG, VA, August 81.
Mrs. Anna II. Uzzell, a respected
widow lady, aged sixty-eight years,
died very suddenly at her home, on Old
street, this morning about 3 o'clock.
She was well when she retired last
night. The family were awakened by
her sufferings. but she was dead before
a ply sician could reach her. She was
the mother Of Mr. William II. Uzzell,
the printer, who died very suddenly in
Richmond year or two ago, and leaves
two married sons.
Two negroes were arrested in the
western part Of the city last night
on the charge Of house-breaking, and
were brought down to be locked up in
jail, each in charge Of an officer. On
reaching Sycamore street one Of the
negroes, named Osborne Ridley, broke
from custody and ran. The officer
pursued, and several times attempted to
shoot the fugitive at close range, but
the pistol failed to fire. The negro
made his escape, after passing several
persons who failed to obey the sum-
mons Of the officer to stop him.
The rain Of night before last and yes
terday seems to have been a general
one, and was much needed. 1t was Of
that gentle, steady character that the
farmer likes TO see.
There has been a decided improve
ment in trade here during the past two
or three weeks. and the outlook for the
fall business is very encouraging.
Mr. p. II. Curtis, chief engineer of
the Petersburg Fire Department, will
attend the annual meeting Of the
American Fire Engineers Association,
to be held at Long Branch ON the Sth
Of September.
Only nine marriage-licenses were is
sued from the clerks office in this city
during the present month. OF these,
three were issued to white and six to
colored couples.
The books of the commissioner Of
revenue present the curious record Of
800 births and 707 burials in this city
last year. 1t is almost impossible to
get the exact number Of births in q
community, and it is very apparent
that the heads of families in listing their
taxes last year failed in many in
stances to give In the additions to their
families. ROBIN ADAIR.

CRUSHED IN THE ICE.

whs,ss ir sbe Arctic.
A Halifax IN. S. special Of the 18th
says The Allan steamer Nova Scotian
arrived here to-day from st. Johns. N.
F., with Captain Benjamin q. Blossom
and twenty y-one Of the crew Of the New
Bedford whaling brig Isabella.
The Isabella sailed from New Bed
ford with crew Of twenty-four on the
eth Of May, last year, bound on .
whaling cruise to Hudson's Bay. On
July 18th the vessel entered the heavy
ice, which in few days closed in on
her 50 firmly that her side was stove in
and she had to be abandoned. The men
took to the ice with their boats, but on
the first night all Of the boats-thrce in
number-were either lost or smashed.
4 small quantity Of provisions Was
saved, however, and with this the crew
made their way TO shore, reaching il
after journeying for four days, drifting
on the ice whichever way the wind and
tide carried it. Intense suffering was
experienced from cold, but all pulled
through the exposure without serious
mishap. They landed at the small set
tlement named 0ckerler, peopled BY
a few Esquimaux, who supplied them
with further provisions in the shape Of
seal meat. Early in August they re-
moved to another pointin Ockerler bay,
called New Guiminuto, where, shortly
after their arrival, the whaler Ezra,
Captain Clisby, put in to escape DRIFT
ing iee-feld. Ice closed the bay, and
she had to remain there q whole year,
until the beginning Of the present
month, when the ice opened and made
a passage for her to get through.
The crews of the Isabella and Ezra
remained together dnring the whole
tme, the men on board the latter shar-
ing their food with the others, and all
existing on limited allowance per day.
Some provisions were obtained by hunt
ing, the only occupation the men could
find to while away the time, and winter
dragged through YEARLY. Several at
tempts were made by the Eira to force
a passage through the ice. On one oc-
casion she drove ashore, bat was float
ed again without damage.
On the 7th instant the field began to
separate, and on the same day the ship
got through the open water and headed
for St. Johns, \. F., which was
at New Guiminuto one Of the crew Of
the Isabella, a Portuguese named Fran
els PeDero, died from the effects Of a
diseased leg, but all the others retained
their health. On their arrival at st.
Johns the first mate of the Isabella
shipped on board the Eira. The re-
mainder came on to Halifax, and will
be forwarded to Boston by a steamer

Rev. DIR. Hawthorne's Lecture Last

his new lecture on "True Manhood

Clear, able, practical, humorous, and

and instruct, and to carry happy in
fluence to all who may hear it.
