FRY BATTED OUT OF The BOX.
The Hitherto lnvincibIe Staun-
tons Taken Into Camp.
They Had In Their Crack Twirler, Who
Shut Out the Charlestons without a
Hit, But the II A. q. Boys Touched
Him UP For Ten-The Same Clubs Will
Play Again To-day.

The threatening sky kept about 500
Roanokers yesterday afternoon from
seeing one OF the prettiest games OF
baseball which has been put up this
season. But they will all be GU It day,
for the R. A. c. is going to do OF break
vein in the attempt.
The hitherto invipcible Stauntons
with three victories over the R. A. c.
to their credit. went down before Boyd
with score of tc Z. The visitors pat
Fry and Tenley at the points and Fry
was simply batted out Of tho box for six
runs in the second inning. He had
pitched phenomenal game the day be
fore, retiring Charleston without base
hit or run, and 1t was too much of 4
task to try it again the next day. Viox
was substituted in the third inning and
but one run was made Off his delivery
to the end of the game.
Boyd pitched a strong game, striking
nine men out, but perceptibly let up in
the last half Of the game, seeing that
1t was we'll in hand. and desiring TO save
his arm for to days work.
Meade knocked a beautiful hit over
the left field fence in the second inning
bringing Riley in ahead Of his own home
run. ana Vlox ala the same for the
Stauntons in the eighth with Blake in
front Of him from third, where a long
drive to center had landed him.
Daniel caught strong game, accept.
ing every chance, and making some
phenomenal stops.
The fielding was excellent on both
teams, the home team showing a con.
slant improvement in the snap they put
into the ball. Meade still throws with
occasional wildness toward first, and
Settles has not quite enough tar on his
glove, fast balls will slip through.
There is better position fo- his left
hand If he will hunt it.
The grand stand will do Riley a ser
vice If it will not advise him to knock
every ball over the fence. Too much
coaching disconcerts him. He is the
most scientific batter on the team if let
alone.
Daniel is the best Judge of ball on
the nine.
Wigmore has got down to those
gronnders at last and took part in two
beautiful double plays.
Staunton captured Blake from the
Charlestons and will put him in to pitch
to day. Blake str ick out thirteen of
the r. A. G. team in that famous tie
game last Friday.

nIAY BREAK THE LEASE.
Reading BondhoIders Say Lehigh Valley
10 q Constant Loss.

New YORK. Aug. A circular,
signed by j. Edward Simmons and Will
liam Mertens, as chairmen Of the COM
mittees of the general mortgage bonds
and OF the income bondholders respec-
lively, has been addressed to tho bond
and stockholders Of the Reading rail-
road, asking for their assent for the use
of their names to be made in the appli-
cation to the courts for the abrogation
of the Lehigh Valley lease.
1t sets forth that the losses under the
lease for the first seven months OF the
fiscal year were S636,05 making total
loss since January /, 1892, Of 50, 1877, liz.
1t recalls the proceedings before the
master in chancery, showing that during
the re ceivership the capital invested in
coal increased 81 5000 as the result of
continued purchases Of coal, while in
the meantime the Readings own coal
output was considerably decreased.
In the face of these facts and the in.
solvency of the company the Lehigh
Valley dividend due June last was paid,
while the July interest on general mort.
gage bonds was allowed to 90 by default.
Attention is also called to the fact that
the receivers have announced it as their
policy to maintain the Lehigh Valley
lease, to make the payments stipulated
hereunder and to contine the purchase
of coal.
The lease of the Lehigh Valley was
made subsequent to the date Of the in
come mortgage. Payments Of dividends
under the lease before five per cent. is
earned and paid upon the third income
bonds is diversion of the funds applic-
able 20 the income bonds, and there fore
in direct violation of the terms of the
mortgage which secures them, the effect
of the payment in this case being also
to cause default under prior lien,
thus imperilling the existence of the
income bonds.

We are not in Rome, and are not. there
fore. under any obligation to do as the Ro-
mans do. but there Is common sense in the
example set by the police force Of the Eter-
nal City as to the suppression of anarch-
lists For some time past the followers OF
the crimson banner in the heart Of Italy
have been threatening all sorts of mischief,
and undoubtedly planned many startling
and nnurderous surprises, which were to be
exploded when a labor demonstration af-
forded the necessary cover But the pro-
gram has been destroyed and peace Sc
cured by the arrest Of all the more promi-
nent or vicious of the professionally dis
contented. Everybody who Is anybody
recognizes the unassailability of the truisn.
IAN ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
OF cure. and must commend the Roman
authorities for their foresight Il is all
well enough in the flapdoodle line of alleged
argument to say that anarchy Is powcrless
so long as II Is permitted to indulge IN I'M
limited language. but as a matter of fact,
there fs great danger in the utterance5 OF
such lawless and characterless creatures
as Emma Goldman and her kind. Such reo-
pie are at least public nuisances. and should
be arrested as soon as they begin to coun-
sci disregard for law.

There are interesting complications In
connection with the Duke OF Edinburgh's
becoming Duke Of SAKE Coburg and Gotha
The duchy over which the English prince
now reigns Is portion of the German en-
pire. SO that the son of Her Majesty Queen
Victoria Is vassai of the Emperor VIII
lam Now IL so happens that years ago
the duke was married to the daughter of
the then Gar of Russia and this daugh-
ter is a sister of the present car. That
assists materially in mixing I'D the situa-
ton. for while Germany and Russia are
scowling at each other over recently erected
ramparts Of import duties there sits on the
throne OF SAKE Coburg a Russian princess
and a British husband, who more than
probably sympathizes with the nation that
gave him his wife. but who owes his allie
glance to the power that permits the Duchy
Of SAKE Coburg and Gotha to continue in
existence. Some OF these days these now
rather amusing facts may not seem so
laughable; they are pregnant with serious
ness and may easily cause trouble in lands
20 easily disturbed as are those of Europe
The European sense Of humor is far from
keen.

The Timely Meeting of the Business
Men in Washington.

The meeting of delegates from the COM
mercial bodies of all kinds in Washington
next week will be timely. The House is
in a direct. simple. conclusive, and bust
nesshke manner No other work of any
consequence will be taken up by the House,
upon the Senate. It will be an excellent
thing for the Senate to have, in the ma
tional capital, a convention of practical
business men from all parts of the United
States, who can express in plain terms the
sentiment of the business community and
the reasons for IL. The grave and reverend
gentlemen who imagine that the demand
for sound currency comes from a small
class of wealthy men who want to grind
the faces Of their debtors may find It in
structive TO spend few hours in the con-
vention. They will find that the demand
comes from all those who wish to make a
decent living by honest trade, and who are
debtors and creditors both.
