In an illustrated article on Base
batl-for the Spectator says Walter
Camp in the October Century: The
history OF college base ball follows the
line of the professional game very
closely. AT times the college men have
been rather more conservative, and
have clung to certain rules for a season
or two after their abandonment by the
professionals. In the end, however, in
nearly every instance, they have real
lied the advantage Of the change, and
followed tho lead set them. In the early
days of the sport the collie
gians cOped successfully with the
majority of the semi-prOfessionals. but
oven then, when they were pitted
against the strongest. the college nines
met with defeat. The first game Of
note between II college nine and pro-
GessiOnals was in the spring of 1868,
between Yale ana the Unions, of Nor
risania The Unions were at that time
the champions Of the country. The
game was intensely exciting. At the
end Of the fifth innirg Yale led. to 4,
but by the end Of the ninth inning the
Unions had tied the score and cveutu-
ally won the game, lG to ~. Frequently
the score sheets OF college mines show
excellent fielding, but when these
same men are brought to face the sharp,
hard hitting OF tho professional Dats-
men their errors begin to multiply, and,
in an inverse ratio, their hits diminish.
The increase of errors is due
to the difficulty they find in
handling the fast drives OF tho
trained batmcn, and also to the nery-
ousncs5 produced by tie knowledge that
they must play II quicker game. A pro
fessiOnal goLs away To first ba Sc fan more
rapidly than n college player, and the
first sensation Of II college lnfeld on
meeting n professional nine is one OF
hurry. a shOrt-sLOp or third baseman
finds that he has no time 10 juggle' the
bali and then throw the man out, as ho
often can do with the college runners.
The ordinary college pitcher is no
match for league or association battcrS,
aud they find an easy prey in him. On
the other hand, the skill Of the profcs-
sona pitcher readily balks the attempts
ofthc college batsmen TO find the ball anu
only the best men handle the stick with
any effect. Tho rest Of the nine become
nervous over their failure TO Judge tho
delivery. aud before the end of the
game apparently dread TO come to the
plate for their turn"

A LONG BRIDGE.
IL May BE Built between England
and france


A most remarkable engineering pro-
jcct was suggested ut the recent meet.
ing of tho Iron and Steel institute in
Paris, says Il London cable to the San
Francisco Chronicle. This is nothing
less than the erection OF great bridge
between Franco and England from Cape
Grisne2 to Folkcstone. An idea of what
is involved in this undertaking may be
gathered from some estimates prepared
by the proposers OF the project.
The length of the bridge would he
thirtvtw miles. The number of piers
12O, the Roadway for ships $50 feet. and
the height from the foundation to the
top of structure, 600 feet. 1t is pro-
posed to build tho bridge entirely of
steel. To do this 200. 900 tons of steel
would be required, and the cost of the
bridge it is estimated would amount to
about $l75, ,00O, 900.
The project would have attracted less
attention than it has but for the fact
that it was suggested by M. Schneider,
leading French iron master, and NJ.
Hersent, a very eminent engineer of
that country. and indorsed by Sir John
Fowler ana Mr.. Baker, chief engineers
of the Forth bridge. The examination
of the project by these authorities has
convinced them that it involves no
difficulties which can not be overcome
by engineering skill.
The scheme is regarded in rather
critical spirit by English professional
and trade journals. The fact that such
II proposition should be made at this
time bears witness to the very consider
able development of the modern ten

in Virginia. His fathers farm is close to
the big stone gap turnpike, the great thor
oughfare over which the rebel and union
armies drove each other back and forth,
and battle was going on almost coDtin-
uousy around there. After the house was
between the contending forces, and when
the shells began to fly over it at a lively
rate the family fed to the cellar. When
the valley was burned, they were among
the sufferers. The night their house and
barn was burned, seyen Other barns, and a
mill, three or four houses and dozens of
wheat stacks, all in sight, were fired and
burned at the same time. The family
were allowed to take their clothing and q
few articles out of their home and then q

having no place to 60. Mr.. Scott was only
years old then. but we'll remembers the
stirring scenes of those dark days.

SHOT DEAD.
A Bride and Groom Killed and
the Preacher Fatally
Wounded.

Piketon, Ky., Oct. News is recsived
of rival of the Hat6eld-Mc 10y feud, re-
sultipg in the killing of three, and possibly
tour, more persons involved in the warfare
which began more than seven years ago.
The details of the tragedy are meager,
owing to the fact that the scene OF the kill
ing is sixty or seventy miles away from
any railroad or telegraph Office. but sufi-
cient 10 learned to warrant the following
account:
The daughter Of Peter Mccoy had
promised to marry John Hand, q rela-
tive of the Hsi6elds, IN opposition to the
wishes OF the members Of both families,
who declared thst they uoul prevent the
wedding. Neither Peter Mccoy nor Hand
has ever taken part in the disputes and
battles of the families, and they refused
to recognize the leaders of the factions.
Hence the objecIiDg Parties were unable
to obstruct the preparations Tor the mar
rIage
On Tuesday night ii e bridal party and
guests assembled at the house of Mccoy
Miss Mccoy and young Hand stood in the
middle of the room, facing the minister,
when suddenly and without warning a
volley was fired through a
window, and the young couple Tell
dead and the clergyman. fatally wounded ,
Icy near them. Members of The family
and guests rushed f,om the house to inter.
cepI the murderers end as they did so, an
other shot was fired, seriously wounding q
man whose name is not given,
The murderors escaped 10 the mountains,
but the farmers and mountainous of the
nsigh5o hood are In hst pursuit, and q bat.
tie between them and the outlaws will
ensue when pursuing parties vertake
the aggressors, as they certainly will.
No feud In the history Of the country
has been followed with more unreiep,ing
venom and more deacly results than this
feud between the Hal6eIds, of Logan
county, West Virginia, and the Nc.
Coys of Pike county, Kentucky. 1t began
during the war, about 1872, between
Jim Vance of the Hatfield crowd and
Harmon Mccoy. Ever since it has been
prosecuted with fatal activity. Men,
women and children we been butchered
in open warfare or by ambuScade. No less
than twenty-five murders have been COM
mIIted. This wiil make twenty-six. 1t
was thought the war would close when
El,hu Hatfield, at Charleston, W. Va, was
sentenced to hang last month and two of
his confederates got life sentences for their
crimes. There cannot be many IF either
family left, but the present outbreak of
hoslilities proves the undying malice that
controls the combatanls.

A New Test OF Soils.

The following item is worthy of q place
in every farmer and horticulturists scrap
book:
NJ. Georges Vile, French scientific
sgriculturist, after almost thirty years OF
assiduous researches on the experimental
farm at VincenUes, has made q remarkable
and important discovery, of q relation ex.
listing between the color of plants and the
richness of soils in fsrtilizing agents. His
conclusions, recently reported to the Paris
Academy of Science, deserves consideration
by all farmers and horticulturists.
He finds that the color of the leaves of
plants undergoes marked change when
ever the soil is lacking In phosphate, pot
ash, lime, or nitrogen. The color remains
light green or turns to yellow when the
soil is deficient ia phosphate, potash or
nitrogen. When none of the fertilizipg
clements are wanting the color is dark
green.
Bv his experiments NJ. Vile furnishes
agriculturists with positive indications by
which they can determine with the great
est facility what kind of fertilizer the soil
needs most or in what elements of fer
tility il abounds. His experiments should
be repeated by our department of sgricul-
ture and the esults published. The prac-
teal information which might thus be
supplied to American farmers would en-.
