hended. These two men admit that

mountains most of the day, intending
to evade the officers under the cover OF
night.

ARRAIGNED FOR ASSAULT.
Two Union Seamen Charged With At
taeking Captain MattsOn.


SAN Diego, June 26.-Charles Wills,
local agent of the Coast Seamen's
Union, and John Helander, another
member of that organization, were ar
rested today for participation in the
murderous assault upon Captain Matt
son, of the bark Memnon, night before
last, and the spiriting away OF the first
mate. The story Wills tells is to the
effect that himself and companions went
on board the vessel by request of the
mate, who is a union man, and who de-
sired them to aid him in leaving the
ship. Captain Mattson was drunk,
and he attacked us in the cabin and
tried to shoot u.s." said Wills. "He
snapped his revolver at us twice, when
we took it away from him. Captain
Mattson knows | never touched him,
and that he made the attack himself. L
saved him from getting killed"
The two men were arraigned on the
charge of assault with intent to kill, and
released until next Tuesday on bonds OF
81 500 each.

horbitant prices for lands that the

To the Editor Roanoke TINES.
Allow me to call the attention of
the city council to the deplorable
condition of that piece of public prop
erty-most public at that-known as
Market space-and in particular to
the lane connecting Salem avenue
and Campbell street.
1t is indeed nuisance, and l think
the councilnen should take upon
themselves the necessity of improving
the condition of this portion of the
city. By doing this they will gain for
themselves the good will of the citi-
gems of Roanoke and abate a menace
to the healthfulness of that section.
Were to compare the condition of
this portion of the city | would not
hesitate to say that the streets are as
bad if not worse than any swamp, and
the stencil cannot now be compared
to glue or guano factory. | appeal
then to the cGuncilmen of Roanoke
in behalf of our worthy citizens to
give this their immediate attention.

TEE ELECTION BILL.
An Agreement Said to Have Been
Reached Preventing HIS Passage.

RcncHcu preventing His Passage.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Dispatch says the
election bill will not pass. Your
correspondent, he adds, is able to
state on what seems TO be the most
reliable authority that no attempt
will be made by the Senate Republi-
cans TO pass this session the force bill.
The backbone of the measure has
been broken, and it will be laid away.
1t seems that an agreement WAS
reached to-day between the leading
Senators on both sides that if the
minority would consent to discuss the
tariff bill only in a way to emphasize
their protest against the measure an
adjournment could be reached by the
end OF the first week in September,
and no attempt would be made to
pass the Federal election law this
session.
One of the most prominent of these
Republicans said that his own side
WAS divided and ten or Il dozen Of the
Republicans would never consent to
having limitation put on debate,
would he impossible to pass the force
b..l this session.
Senator Blackburn and other
Democrats admitted tonight that an
agreement had been reached, and the
news is about the best that has been
obtained here in many weeks, if not
months.
1t will be It crushing blow to old
Boss Reed and the other Radicals, but
the Senate finds that it will be useless
to carry this fight any further without
the gaS-iaw. Besides, the
business clements of the
country are opposed TO the proposed

Score stood Twelve TO Nothing, All

The game at Riverside Park yester.
day afternoon was almost repetition
OF what it was the day before.
For tho second time the Bright
Stars failed to score and the game was
even poorer, if possible, than the pre-
ceding one. The visitors could not
hit Brodie, who was in admirable
condition and played q superb game.
Up to the last half of the ninth inning
the Stars had not made a single hit,
and not one of them had touched the
first bag with his foot. The only in
terest the audience had in the game
was to see how :long the Roanoles
would keep this up. They didn't,
though, and one of the Bright Stars
took his base on balls.
1t didn't take long to play the first
inning, neither side scoring. In the
second the home batters got to work
in earnest, and GettiS, who had hith-
erto been almost invincible, was hit
right along. This kept the fiel1ers
busy looking for the leather and the
pitcher became little ratified in coll
sequence. Rosenthal was the first man
to make hit, and Irving Brodie fol
lowed him with a single, stole second,
and Kirby picked up the stick and
sent them both home with single to
the RIGHT. Then y. Brodie made sin
gle and Dolan sent Il grounder to
Smith, who threw Kirby out when he
was at the plate. Widgin sent beau

The fifth was lucky for the home

With a man out, both Rosenthal and
