The early extension of the Baltimore

Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great Industrial
center Of Virginia.
Che proximity of the great Flat Tor
coal fields, the cheapness of the famous
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan.
tageous point for manufacturers.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud OF

THE APPROACHING COURT.
Gases to be Heard at the March
Term of Court.
The ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.

The county court will convene next
week with Judge Griffin on the bench,
and the docket will be large, as nearly
all the cases of the last months court
were continued on account of the illness
of Commonwealth Attorney Hans
brough.
Among the more important cases are
those Of the commonwealth veruS the
Norfolk and Western railroad for run
ming freight trains on Sunday, and OF
the commonwealth against eight or ten
persons indicted for selling liquor in
Salem without license.
j. Allen Watts. ESQ.,, of the coun-
sci for the Norfolk and Western rail-
road, will argue that the Sunday law in
this State forbidding the running of
freight trains on the first day in the
week is unconstitutional under the inter
state commerce act.
There are thirteen indictments
against the road for the offence men,
toned.
The case of Joe Brackett, colored,
charged with shooting Granville Hairs
ten at n festival at Brackettown about
five months ago will come up, Mr..
Montgomery representing the defen-
dant.
Hairston was shot in general row
in which two other negroes, John Israel
and one Johnston, were mixed up.
Bracketts counsel will introduce evil
dence to show that both Israel and
johnson had more provocation for shoot
ing Harston than Brackett, who swears
he did not do it, as he was not at en-
nifty with Harston.
Harston, who has recovered, and two
other witnesses will swear that Brack-
EFT did the shooting.
Bracket was shot in the check, near
the nose. The negro Johnston's wife
was the dusky Helen who caused all
the trouble.

VISITORS AT THE GAME.
The Portland Players Watch the Local

The Portland Players Watch the Locals
Beat Themselves.
Hank Harris met the conQuering heroes
at the dock, and after lunch invited the team
out to his baseball preserves TO diagnose, as
it were, their chances in the Coast cham
plonship business. From the style Of the
exhibition the visitors from up Portland
way could readily imagine they saw another
pennant streaming over the ramparts by
dawn's early light, though they made no
comments for publication.
AS was only meet and proper, Hank Harris
apologizrd to Rockwell and his red hands
Immediately after the game. This apology
was supplemented by an amcnde honorable
from Colonel T. Prunes Robinson, as his
belated outfit won the game by score of to
3, thus giving Oakland an everlasting cinch
on fourth place. With this gltterinR pros
pect ahead Of him what manager could not
afford 10 be magnanimOus?
Having told Rockwell he was well aware
that his employees from the dripping north
had just recovered from long siege of deep
sea nausea, and that the first dose of Cali
fornia League ball dIshed up to them was
not calculated to remove that tired feeling
OceaSl0ned by the voyage, Rockwell begged
Hank not to mention it, but Hank did men,
ton II, and at the same time assured his
guest that it would not happen again if he
could help 1t. No. indeed, it will not If
Hank can help it. because his team is now
two games behind instead Of one, as at the
beginning Of yesterday.
With the cold, critical eyes OF the pen
nant-winners upon them the FriscoS lost
their grip and stacked up a multiplicity of
bungles that presented cheerful and pleas
ing variety of tints. They outbaJed their
opponents but for once the Colonies curbed
their chronic desire TO err, while the locals
gave full swing TO their privilege in this
branch Of the baseball industry. Pop
SWEET and Peck Sharp were the only two
who escaped with clean record, but their
seven accomplices divided ten able-bOdied
errors that were highly appreciated by the
Oakland people.
BoRCHERs SQUARED HIMSELF.
Still the visitors seemed to enjoy them
selves during the bright spots in the game
and appauded each and every play made by
the Young men with whom they played uD
north last summer. The play took slow
but not majestic movement from the start,
and both sides got along toleraby well dur
ing the first few innings Up to the fifth
Oakland had but one run and had failed to
find Cobb for a single hit. On the other
hand the locals had touched B0rehers I'D
for two singles, but the ms were coming in
the second section.
In the fifth for Frisco Cobb was given a
bag, stole second and scored on Sweeney's
hunt Sharp sacrificed the little man across
the plate. IN 0akland's half OF this inning

Colonies three runs, aud in the next they

more TALES, placing them four ahead. linen
Harris men revived for a moment ana IL
looked as if they might entirely recover.
With the bags full in the eighth and TWO
men out COBB sent double whizzing down
the line in close proximity to Mr.. Borchers
hair that dumped three tallies across the
plate. A hit here would have tied the score,
but Sweeney hunted pop fly over near the
third base line which Borchers plucked out
of the air with one hand. Mr.. Borchers was
in rapid motion at the time. making the play
all the more difficult and giving it pleasing
circus aspect.
In Oaklaud's half of the eighth Borchers
further distinguished himself IN the eyes
of his former associates from the north by
pulling the plug out of two-bagger that
scored two more runs for his employer.
During mis- other three times up Mr.. Borch-
ers had persistently famed out, but these
disasters were lost in the light of his subse-
quent achievement and all was forgiven.
The same teams play to-day with Blau-
welt and Balsz in The box. Following is the
score:

SACRAMENTO, Oct. %. - San Jose began
its last series of season hele to-day before
ali average-sized attendance. Both clubs
put forth their strongest players, as this
series is expected to decide the home teams
chances for the peunant. Had Mcdonald
worn lis spectacles the home team would
have won the game. Harper and Hoffman
were opposed to each other, and the latter
had slightly the best of it. He was hit for
seven hits and Harper for eight and gave
four men naSes on balls, three OF whom
scored, to Harpers ten, three of whom also
scored. Four of the seven hits off Hoffman
were made in the third inning, while those
OFF Harper were generally scattered. Each
team made three errors, those of the home
team being responsible Tor four runs while
the visit, rs errors let in but two. HASA
mer and K .itZ each made phenomenal back
ward running catches which were features
of the game. Ward and HuStin played for
the home team and each did fairly well.
The former was sent to first base on balls
four times and scored two runs. In the first
inning the home team scored once on
Wards base on balls, sacrifice, Everett
error and Hustin's hit. In the last half
Hanly got first on balls, second on passed
ball, and third on Mc1ale's error Of
EbrIght'S grounder. Ebrigh5 stole second,
and both scored on Hassamer's error.
In the third HaSSamer led off with a sin
gle, second on Everett's error, and scored
on McGuirk's single, Mac taking second on
the throw in. He stole third, and scored on
passed ball. In the last half Everett was
safe on rank decision Of Mcdonald, and
scored on Ebrighl's triple. Ebright scored
on Wards error Of Dooley's fly ball, and
DoOley scored on hits by McVey and Stall
ings. In the fourth McGucken got first on
balls, third on TWO sacrifices, and scored on
Ebright's single. In the seventh Everett
got nrst on balls, and scored on Dooley's
three-b Dagger. In the eighth Roberts and
Ward took first Oh balts. and scored on
Hassamer's double. Big Bill scored on
Spies three-base hit. In the ninth the
home team had three men on bases, with
Ward at bat, but the best he could do was
