A great many people labor under
the belief that the building of the
Ohio River Railroad along the Ohio
river has injured the business OF
the steamboats,, but a prominent
steamboat Captain says that it has
not affected the river trade at all
but on the other hand has material
ly helped it, from the fact that the
building of the railroad has caused
numerous industries to spring up,
has enlarged the business of the
towns along its line, thus adding
much new freight for boats.

TAKEN AT ITS TIDE
There is no Other Section where
Success can be More Easily
Attained than in Virginia..


Apparently the big end of the
Horn of Plenty is located in Vir-
ginia, and its fruits are being poured
out along the Chesapeake L Ohio
Railway. At least, the amount of
money which has been made in real
estate investments and Industrial
pursuits in the new cities along that
thoroughtare indicates as much.
Excursion rates have been an
nounced by the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway for the following towns to
afford an opportunity of attending
the land sales:
Bessemer, Va, November 18th.
Buena Vista, Va, Nov. 10 and 20.
Suffolk, Va, November 18th.
Newport News, Va, November goth.
Basic City, Va, December Sd K 4th.
Excursion tickets will be on sale
day or two in advance of the above
dates.
Bessemer is a new candidate
among the Yirginias great enter
prises. 1t is located along the banks
of James River, eighteen miles from
Clifton Forge, at the Junction OF
the new branch of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railway, extending to New
Castle and the wonderful Craig Val
ley iron lands. 1t is significant
fact that the Chesapeake & Ohio has
invested a larger amount in the new
city of Bessemer than any other
town in Virginia, the amount ag-
gregating $4,000. This fact OF
itself is sufficient TO insure success.
and everyone who goes in at the
start and procurcs property in Besse-
mer will have an opportunity of
acquiring wealth speedily and in a
large degree. In pointing to the
future of Bessemer, the past history
of Roanoke, Buchanan, Buena Vista,
GLASGOW, Basic, Staunton, Goshen
and other industrial towns in Vir-
ginia may be cited as to wealth to
be acquired by carly investments.
The town company has been but
recently organized. So great was
the demand upon its stock that the
original holders were compelled, in
order TO satisfy their friends, TO scale
the amount they had intended to
originally take, and before the stock
had been issued, and while the com
pany was scarcely organized, the
fortunate subscribers to the stock
were offered u premium of from 10
to 80 per cent. for their privilege.
1t will be one of the greatest towns
along the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
way, and Immediately the company
will commence the construction of
bridges, streets, etc, which will in
short time place tho town in ad-
vance of other and older places.

THE HOME BOYS WIN.
THEY PLAY A FINE GAME OF BALL
AND DEFEAT BALTIMORE.
kain's Jumping One-Hand Catch and
Hurd's Fine Work Largely Con-
tribute to the Victory.

The Richmond boys entered yesterdays
ball contest with spirit of determined
vim and energy and the result OF their
welLdirected efforts was eminently salts
factory.
This was the fourth OF their series of
practice games with the Baltimore club
and their well-earned victory was the first
one for the home organization.
The words of advice frankly spoken by
the Dispatch seemed TO have the desired
effect both on the management and the
players. Some thought the criticism n
little harsh but they endeavored to remedy
the imperfectiOns pointed out and right
well did they succeed.
Every movement during the evening was
quick, and it was evident that live young
men and not old and worn-out beings were
ming the respective positions; There was
adash about the game that madeit interest
ING and at times exciting.
WELL PLAYED.
II was a game well played. .
This observation applies TO both teams.
In no particular was the work OF either
seriously defective.
The Richmonds entered the contest pro-
perly. They came in with an aggressive
step and by properly directed movements
succeeded in marching 10 victory.
But three runs were made altogether and
these were the output of a great deal of
earnest exercise. In the first part of the
struggle Baker was the least bit careless in
handling the ball, but he soon realized that
the men in front Of whom he stood could
hit the ball and he taxed his abilities lit
tie more heavily. A sufficient number of
hits were made by both sides, but they
were scattering and did not pan out much.
SOME ZINE PLAYS
Hurds pitching was q great improve
ment on that of Tuesday, and he did active
service. making several very pretty and
valuable plays.
Twice the visitors had every show for
winning the fight. but superior fielding
ayerted this result.
The feature of the evening was a catch
by Kahn, who jumped up about two feet
and captured n ball hot from Townsend's
bat 4 miss here would have given the
visitors n run and would have made the
home clubs defeat much more probable.
McCaffrey's work behind the bat was very
good, as was that of Townsend.
In the ninth inning it seemed almost
certain that the score would be tied.
There were two mon on bases when Ray,
the Baltimore's greatest hitter, picked up
the bat and drove the ball lust to the
right of second base. But Hill was there,
and this meant the salvation Of our boys:
He not only leaped for the ball and locked
his fingers around it but ran to the base
and cut of O'Rorke, thus ending the
game, which was throughout one OF the
closest and best ever played here.
The changing of Stanhope from third
base to right field was a wise move.
Roche. the Baltimore's third baseman,
showed great lmprOyement.
