WINSTON, N. G, Sept. 30.-Winston is
rejoicing tonight over the victory won
by her blue Ball Sluggers' this after
noon. They won the deciding game from
Richmond for the championship of the
South by a score of 10 to 7. They piled
up six runs on Richmond in the first in
ming, eight in the second, two in the
third and three in the ninth. Richmond
put in three pitchers during the game,
but they were lot in it. Winston's left
handed wizard, A. NcGann, held them
down with a sore arm for seven innings
and his brother shut them out in the two
last. It is a great victory for Winston.

a Man and Woman Burned Alive by
Fiends.

ROxBORo, Sept. 30.-News of a horri,
BILE death by fire reached here to-day,
William Dixon and wife lived ten miles
east Of Roxboro. Last night about s
o'clock screams were heard by a neigh
Dor, but as Dixon and wife were known
to live %unhappily, it was thought they
were having a fight. Shortly after the
house was in flames, and to-day the
charred bones of two people were found
in the building. Dixon's hat, with a
hole knocked in it, a bloody rock and a
pool of blood in the yald led people to
believe there was a murder before the
fire.

La GRIPPE REIGNS.
THE DISEASE HAS IT'S GRIP ON
MANY MARTINSBuRG
PEOPLE.
NEW VICTIMS BEING ADDED DAILY
AND 1T is NOW ESTIMATED
THAT 500 ARE SUFFER-
ING FROM IT

THE WORLD the other day stated
that, according to the physicians re-
ports, there were at least 800 people in
Martinsburg who were afflicted with
La Grippe. During the past few
days the malady has gradually been
increasing and the number Of people
now suffering is estimated at 500.
Martinburg is far more fortunate than
some of our neighboring cities, as it is
authoritatively stated that at Winches-
ter there are at least 1900 cases. The
disease in this city is of rather mild
type, and so farno fatal cases have been
reported. Grown people and children
suffer alike but the malady seems
specially severe in its onslaught upon
children and there are now good
many who, are absent from their ac-
customed seats in the school rooms Of
the various wards. The doctors are
doing thriving business and are
kept on the go night and day, while
the druggists are kept constantly busy
filing prescriptions.
There is hardly business place in
the city that cannot report one or more
on the sick list and within the past 4S
hours four of THE WORLDS force have
succumbed to this prevalent complaint.
In some of the large cities there has
been an alarming increase in the death
rate, which is believed to be due to the
present epidemic.
While the warm weather continues,
grip microbes will generate by millions,
and victims more and more will be
added to the already enormous list Of
sufferers from their attacks. Physi-
clans all agree that, until a normal at
mospberic condition sets in, the cpl
demic will hold sway.

SHOOTING AT A PREACHER.


He Kissed the Wife OF n North Caro- .
Iinian in q Fatherly Way.
GREENvILLE, N. c., Dec. 15.-W. E.
Grimsley, of Snow Hill, who, on the
9Th instant, shot Rev. j. T. Alternately
for kissing his wife, made second as
sault on Alternately on the streets of
Snow Hill yesterday. Alternately was
on the streets for the first time since
the shooting. Grimsley saw him, and,
with oaths, began firing at him with
pistol. Alternately drew pistol and
returned the fire. Alternately was
struck on the left cheek with thirty
eight caliber ball, which passed through
and came out at the back of his neck.
1t is feared the wound will prove fatal.
Grimsley was struck in the leg, but has
fed and cannot be found. The senti-
ment of the communityis strongly on
the side of Alternately, who alleges that
he only kissed Mrs. Grimsley goodbye
in a fatherly manner as he was leaving
her. The people don't believe there
was the slightest criminality between
them. Grimsley's father so expresses
himself, and declares his belief in the
entire innocence of Alternately and
Mrs. Grimsley. There is a great ex-
citementin and around Snow Hill over
the affair, and indignation is so arous-
ed against Grimsley as to provoke
threats of lynching if he is caught.
Warrants have been issued for Grims-
ley's arrest.

The regular monthly meeting of the

terday, and Mr.. Charles +. Mayer
was unanimously reelected president
for the ensuing year. Mr.. VIM. F.,

The president reported to the board
the result of the very thorough inspec-
ton trip Of three weeks that has been
recently made of the company's line,
by himself and the chief staff officers
of the company.
He referred especially to the extern
sive Cumberland Yard that is about
being commenced at Cumberland, the
concentration of three Divisions there !;
the acquisition of large properties in
Pittsburg, giving the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad terminals there inferior to
none of the lines the immense termi-
nails of the Pittsburg and Western in
Allegheny City, covering rs acres, with
6 miles of tracks on the water front of
the Allegheny river the ore docks,
elevators and warehouses at Fairport.
on Lake Erie, and the recently acquir-
ed valuable water front of the compa-
ny in Cleveland, Ohio.
He also reported on the superior new
line from Akron to Chicago junction,
which shortens the line of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad to Chicago, and
gives it the lowest grades of any line
from the seaboard but one.
The president referred in detail to
the railroads new terminal in Chicago,
perhaps the most complete, attractive
and thoroughly equipped passenge,
station in this country, with extended
freight and other facilities.
He also referred especially to the
continued rapid development Of indus
trial enterprise along the line of the
road and the remarkable growth of its
local traffic. Also, the continued inn
provement in, and the superior condi-
ton of, the roadway and equipment of
the entire system, including the Balti-
more & Ohio Southwestern. The rapid
increase in the business Of the latter
company-especially local--places it in
a condition of assured prosperity.

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
Congressman Springer Confident that the
$5,OOO,O0O will be Loaned.


WASHINGTON, December 15.-Rep-
resentative Springer, of Illinois, in
speaking of the action of the Board of
control Of the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position in deciding to ask for an ap-
preparation of $5,000,00O, instead of
loan Of that amount, as was at first
contemplated, said: I do not think
that there is any good reason to expect
this Congress to make an appropriation
of the amount specified, for this Con-
gress will be quite chary in its expendi-
lures. Nor do understand that re-
gular appropriation will be asked.
Congress will, however, Tam confident,
make loan to the board of that
amount, for guaranteed as it will be
by the receipts, which will aggregate
three times the amount asked, there
will be no failure on the part of the
government to.'have itrepaid. Congress
in this way advanced million and
a-half to the Centennial, and | know
of no reason why for the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, which will be i'm
measurably larger, the sum asked
should not receive the same generous
treatment"

UNITED STATES COURT
JUDGE JACKSON OPENS THE REGULAR
DECEMBER TERM IN
THIS CITY.
HE CALLS THE ATTENTION OF THE
JURY TO THE NECESSITY OF
MORE STRICTLY ENFORC-
ING THE LAW.

It was nearly three o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Judge jackson took
the bench and opened the December
term of the United States Court. All
of the court officers were present, and
there was quite a large number of wit
nesses and attorneys present from var
ious sections of the district, and the
court room was pretty well crowded.
The first business requiring the atten-
ton of the court was the calling of the
list of Grand Jurors. The following
answered to their names:
Thomas G.. Smith, Gregory Rup-
penthol, Eliza S. johnson, A. r. Nc
Mel, Hon. Chas. B. Smith, Decatur
Hedges. Hon. Columbus Sehon, M. D.
Neville, j. H. Keeling, J.. B. Small, J.
B. Rees, D. M. Peukin, Isaac L. Enoch,
W. H. Mccullough, j. H. Alexander,
G.. T. Gosorn, N. G.. Kline and Hon. G..
W. Atkinson.
After the Jurors had taken their
seats Judge jackson instructed them
at considerable length as to their
duties. His remarks occupied nearly
an hours time, and they were equally
as interesting and valuable to the mem
bers of the bar and spectators present
as to the Grand Jurors. His Honor
referred to the grand republic under
which the American people lived, and
tried to impress upon his listeners the
importance Of preserving the institu-
lions andlaws. A free and untrammeled
vote, he said, was the corner stone of
the political liberty of the country and
much depended upon the strict enforce
ment of the election laws.
He very much regretted to say that
the crimes of bigamy and perjury were
on the increase in this country, and
unless desperate remedies were resort
ed to, the very principles on which
the nation had been founded would be
undermined. Judge jackson also urged
the necessity of enforcing the law pro-
hibiting the importation of alien labor
ers, paupers, criminals and Cinnamon
from abroad. Mr.. 7. W. B. Duckwall
son of Judge Duckwall, of Berkeley
Springs, was admitted to practice be-
forethe Court. The following petit jurors
were sworn in: c. Merreman, Marcel
lus Baker, Adam Brenneman, U. s. g.
Pitzer, VIM. Widmyer, Abraham S.
Miller, S. N. Miller, James P. Clipp,
j. 7. Lyon, L. r. Chrisman, G.. S,
Phillips, P. Lipscomb, VIM. B. Land
aker, A. H. Pownall, Louis Sargent,
W. B. Hill, A. j. Lemaster, w. F.
Light, H. M. Couchman, S. s. Slower,
J. F. Dickson, J. D. Rinehart, A.
Monroe.
The first case called up was that OF
the United States against Edward
Wells, charged with violation of the
Internal Revenue laws in having re-
tailed liquor without license. The de-
PENDANT plead guilty, and the District
Attorney asked that he he dealt with
leniently insomuch as it was his first
offense.
