FARMERS WIN THE PENNANT.
shutting Ont the Spiders Yesterday Gives
Them the Victory

Especial telegram to the Dispatch)
PETERSBURG, VA. September o.
The baseball crankS OF this city are wild
tonight, as their victory Of this even
ing over the Spiders makes them the
pennant winners The Spiders, I'm the
game this evening, were greatly strength
ened by battery Of the Stanton team,
and they had banked heavily on winning
the game. Messenger pitched a good
game, and was we'll supported by Elsey,
but the work of the rest of the team,
with the exception OF Duke, Scott, and
Phillips. was very Chinese. The home
team played a perfect game. Not an err
ror did they make, and they only allowed
the Spiders to get one man as far as third
base during the game. Quarles and Leach
pitched for the pennant-winners, and they
divided the honors, only one hit being
made off each OF them. The features
OF the game were the double-play OF VIII
liam Quarles. Keefer. and J. Quarles in
the third inning; the batting OF Keefer
and Brodie, the base-running of Lang and
Myers and the third and first basework
of Boucher and Myers Outside of the
Spiders battery work. Phillips and Scott
are the only players who deserve TO be
specially mentioned. Score:

Mixed Gas.

being supplied. Objection has always
been made to water-gas that having nC
odor It was exceedingly dangerous. as
escaping gas could not be detected as
coal-gas is
SO Il would seem. quite paradoxically
TO be sure. that this fault Of our gas
Is really a virtue. Yet We dare say the
public would be willing 10 take more

that the new gas Is better illuminant

THE GOTHAM NEIGHBORHOOD.
Summer Visitors from Richmond-Castie

(Correspondence OF the DESPATCHED

(Correspondence of the Dispatch.)
ROWLESVILLE, VA. September %-
This has been quiet summer IN the
Gotham neighborhood, 10 which Bowles-
willie belongs. Quite early in the summer
vour columns recorded the drowning or
Young Page Lewis, which brought griet
TO a large family connection. and threw
a gloom over the whole community A
few DAYS later Mr.. Richard Dickinson's
death brought new sorrow TO family
which lost two members only year ago
thus deepening the gloom OF this whole
section. These two sad events have
precluded all gaieties in the neighbor-
hood.
The boarding-houses in the Keswick
and Gotham neighborhoods have been
well filed. At DIR. Bowcock's, near the
former depot, your city has been re-
presented by the families Of Messrs. q.
G. Minor, a. X Yarbrough, and Conway
Sands.
DIR. Robert Shackelford. at Bowlesville,
has had a large company, among them:
Mrs. Caroline Graves, Mrs. a. Judson,
Watkins and sons, Miss Josephine Lowell
of Richmond. Misses Russell Nelson, and
Hare. and Mesdames GriswOd OF Peters
burg. Dr. ]. l.. Hall and family. and Mrs.
l.. w. Lane, Jr., and family OF Williams
burg. Mrs. J. l.. Boyden's house has
been filed with a charming company,
mostly BaltImoreans.
AMELIE RIVES.
Castle Hin. the home of the gifted and
celebrated Amelie Rives, has been quiet
this season. Mrs. Chanler left some
months ago 10 summer on the coast OF
Maine. Colonel Rives Is at home on
a brief visit TO his family.
Misses Mag Macmurdo and Bessie Mar
tin. of Richmond. are guests at Castle
Hill.
The recent freshets were the severest
ever known In this section. Great dam
age was done to crops fences roads. and
bridges. on some valuable fields the
soil was washed TO the depth OF several
inches, the damage to Castle Hill alone
being estimated at $500 Some roads
will perhaps never be repaired, as 1t would
require fabulous sums to restore roads
little travelled. At this writing 1t Is i'm
possible 10 drive a wagon TO Gordonsvile.
Among the greatest privileges OF this
neighborhood are the sermons Of Bishop
Jackson, OF Alabama, who always spends
September at Mr.. PAGES. His noble pre-
sentation OF the doctrine Of Christian
charity thrilled a large congregation at
Grace church last Sunday morning.

N.Y. Chambers Scheme

After announcing that the Hon. JEFF
Chandler of New York, has promised to
come TO Virginia TO speak in behalf OF
Colonel O'Ferralrs election, the Index.
Appeal says:
MIR. Chandler IS the author OF the
House bill which provides for the pro
lection of bank depositors by the General
Government. His idea IS an excellent one.
and If his plan can be embodied into the
shape of a wise enactment it will be
heartily endorsed by the multitudes who
are at the mercy of banking corporations.
MIR. Chandler proposes to levy a smafl
tax upon the depositors or the bank-oI
bOth-for the creation of a redemption
fund. There IS hardly a depositor who
would not be glad to be taxed for such
protection as Mr.. Chandler thinks he can
provide
The consequence would be a banking
system nearly perfect and absolute i'm
munity from such panics as the one which
now afTlicts the country. The small cost
Of the guaranty would be as nothing com
pared with the resultant good. The banks.
too, would thereafter be used as deposit
tories for all the moncy which timid per-
sons now put away in stockings and other
private places; and the owners thereof
would not trouble themselves to go at
any time to the banks TO learn the con-
dition OF those institutions. AS 1t is now,
depositors run for their money as soon as
a panic is threatened; the banks are
compelled to call in their loans. but the
call cannot be compiled with in
faga
ninety days, and so the panic comes.
General Hunton must not lose sight of this
important measure. The repeal OF the
sherman silver law accomplished, let the
protection OF depostors be the next bust
ness In order. The man who will make
the most reputation out of the existing
condition of things is the man who shall
devise the best scheme for protecting de-
positors.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your sensible editorial OF yesterday
you caution Southern congressman. and
Virginia congressman particularly, to
keep their weather eye upon the North
ern Congressman who are tinkering with
the tobacco and whiskey tax with a view
to increase the same. You also endorse
the existing tartff laws regarding sugar,
coffee, and tea.
We all know that sugar. coffee. and tea
TALL foreign products) are cheaper now
than ever; while a high tariff on foreign
tobacco and a low internal revenue tax
protect our planters and manufacturers.
and at the same time afford an unsur-
passed home market. We also know that
these laws were prepared and passed by
our friends the Republicans.
In view OF this, It strikes me as being
foolish to attack the existing tariff in
any particular. for 1t protects each sec
ton OF the countrywide manufacturers of
the East and West. and the planters of
the South.

DEMOCRATIC WATERLOO
The Result Of Tuesdays Election a
Tremendous Surprise.
COLD DAY FOR The ADMINISTRATION
B0ies Laid 10 Rest In loVa-MaSsachusettS
Elects q Republican GoVernor-POp-
ullsts Cut q Sorry Figure

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-rhe result Of
the elections is surprise to all parties
here. In fact they do not accord with
the predictions OF either the democrats,
republicans or populsts. The only grain
OF comfort for the democratic is in the de-
feat OF the populists and the election of
O'Ferrall in Virginia, where they were
terrorized by the populists. They ex-
pected a defeat in the states where the
free coinage element was strong, but
were not prepared to be showed under in
sound money states like Massachusetts
and New York. All the prominent dem
ocratic leaders ascribe the result to tive
causes: Dissatisfaction OF farmers over
the financial situation, and the apathy
Of disappointed ofiice-seekers. The de-
feat in Iowa is regretted, as it practically
removes Governor Boies from the list OF
eligible presidential timber. Populists
are much disappointed at their showing,
but claim later returns will be better for
them. About the only mplacent men
in the democratic ranks are the silver
men, who are in q position to cay to the
president, 81 told you 30" They will
take this as text and at the opening OF
the regular session will be prepared 10
renew the fight for silver more vigor
ously than ever 1t is not believed the
president is discouraged by the land
slide, as he is known to believe that time
will vindicste his policy.
