When Bauer came into the box he ap-

his balls with apparent precision. The
umpire failed to call them strikes, and
gave three men bases on balls. Bauer
became angered aud began to pitch
wild and carelessly. The visitors
scored five runs, and it was apparent
that the game was gone. The home

scarcely an error. The Augustus played
with several errors, enough to have made
the game a pickup for Atlanta if she

Nearly all those Wheelingites who wit

Some of the pilgrims told wonderful

endeaYors to secure accommodations-en-

were bootleSs and f~ruitless. One gentleman,
who arrived in the Capital Tues,

Capital City at ! O'Clock Tuesday evening,
having deferred bis visit q day longer than
he had intended through assurances that
there would be no trouble in securing quar-.
tiers. Proceeding through the throngs of
people that filed the sidewalks to the Ma.
tional Hotel, where West Virginians did
most congregate, he found, to his dismsy,
| that he not only could not be accommodate
ed there, but that every available room, bed
and cot in every hotel, boarding house and
private dwelling within the city imits-and
many outside, as well, was already occupied,
and that he, in common with unnumbered
thousands of others, would have to hoof it
about the streets all night, or seek shelter
in some friendly doorway. After spending
halt the night in f~ruitless wanderings in
search of q bed, the gentleman sat down on
g door STEP utterly exhausted, and
dozed through the night in a
painful way, getting on his feet
at dsybreak with rheumatism in every Joint
and a first class case Of incipient diphtheria
in his throat, and oh, 80 hungry. A sand
wieh and a beer constituted breakfast, at
3 in the afternoon he got a fair dinner in
the Arlington after nearly bs~nkrupting him
self in feeling q waiter to give hin a show.
and at 6 o'clock he boarded a train and
shook the mud Of Washington from his feet
fasting until Cumberland and breakfast was
reached yesterday morning. The citizen
says he has enough Of inaugural experience
to last him the remainder Of his life.

everybody from Governor to Janitor, which

so long presided over the various interests
of the State. Governor Wilson was only at
the Executive apartments a few moments
during the day, the illness Of Mrs. Wilson
demanding his almost constant presence at
her side.
Up stairs, whence, the evening before, had
come the enhancing strains OF kramers
music, and where the halls and corridors
had echoed to the sound of laughter and gay
conversation, all was confusion and untidl-
ness. The Supreme Court chamber was a
mixture of glass ware, dishwashers and
china, while in the hall of the House of
Delegates, and along the corridors and stair
ways the %janitor and his assistants were
busy clearing up the debris Of the dance
and putting things to right.
