A Runaway.

Just about 2 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon Ben Hampton, colored was
driving a horse belonging to Milt.
Coleman down Main street, attached
to wagon, and when near the corner
of Ann street one of the bolts which
holds the shaft in the clip attached
to the front axle, broke and let the
SHAFTS fall on the horses heels, caus-
ing it to take fright and run away.
Ben held on manfully to the lines and
guided the horse as best he could I'M
til in front Of the Fire Engine House,
where the wagon was upset and he
was thrown out. He turned som
ersault and lit on his back and
shoulders, but still chung to the lines.
The horse. freed himself from the
wagon and pulled away from him,
continued on down the street, upset
surrey in front of Mangan & OAR
nell's stable, ran around square and
was caught on the return. Ben be-
came insensible from his tumble and
was carried into Messrs. L. B. Mar
shall & Co.'s office, where DR.. Gober
attended him and he was soon all
right with the exception of severe
bruises, no bones having been bro
ken.

My wife was confined to her bed
for over two months with a very
severe attack of rheumatism. We
could get nothing that would afford
her any relief, and as last resort
gave Chamberlain Pain Balm trial.
To our great surprise she began to
improve after the first application,
and by using it regularly she was
soon able to get up and attend to her
house work. E. H. Johnson, Of O. j.

in Roanoke stronger than the weakest
three on the Roanoke Athletic Club
team. The public wants the strongest
team which Roanoke can produce, not
one made up on lines OF favoritism. II
there are stronger players outside the
Roanoke Athletic Club than in, 1t Is the
duty of the club to use every reasonable
effort to get them in.
TIE TIMES does not desire to hurt the
feelings Of any member of the nine or its
management, but nine out of ten of the
occupants of the grand stand could see
where the weak points were and what
was needed to strengthen the team. We
give few of the expressions which had
common currency in the grand stand
yesterday:
Why was Monahan allowed to back
Boyd when he had had no work with
him for two years? THE TIMES believes
Monahan has got firstclass material in
him, but it was suicidal to allow him to
attempt to handle Boyd's difficult de-
delivery without practice.
Why does not the management get
hold of such men as Everett Sproul,
John c. Hill. Traynham, Daniels and
the three or four really strong men on
the Citizens and work up more material
until it gets what it needs? The team
is weak in batting. Daniel, who came
in as a substitute, is the only man so
far who seems to give promise of hold
ing Boyd.
1t is understood that Boyd is going to
leave at once for Richmond. Is the
management trying to support the
whole athletic club off it's baseball earn
ings that it will let it's best pitcher
slide? This will not do.
There is too much wrangling on the
grounds. The public gets tired of it.
The coaching is poor and loses as many
runs as it saves, being designed more
to rattle the other team than to aid the
runner.
The management must have the SYM
patty OF the entire team. If it cannot
keep it, the team or the management
ought to retire. There is no room for
false notions about this, it is a vital
point. There should be more practice
and team work. 1t is useless to put in
a catcher who can't cover second base
reliably. 1t is clear that the team must
be strengthened above the thirteen
error limit which characterized the
game yesterday, if the public is ex-
pected to put up for baseball.

In speaking of the business changes
OF the city and the remarkably large
number OF firms who have done business
for awhile in the Magic City in the past
decade, the attention of Il representative
of The TINES was called yesterday TO
the fact that c. R. Wertz was the
pioneer grocer of Roanoke, and has been
in the trade steadily for twelve years.
At that time, when the Magic City was
city in name only, he took his place
as leading grocer, which he has held
continuously ever since. II is really a
pleasure to look through his handsome
store on Commerce street and examin G
the large and we'll selected stock OF
staple end fancy groceries Mr.. Wert2
has trade which demands superior
line of goods. and his stock is therefore
selected with especial care, and the
goods are the purest and freshest that
can be found.

HUsTINGs COURT.

The argument in the application of P.
L. Terry and others for an Injunction to

Hastings Court yesterday. Judge
Woods took charge of the testimony and
aff1davits relating to the case and will
give his decision after he has given the
matter more thought
The verdict OF the jury imposing a
fine of S25 against j. E. Kidd for mis-.
demenor was set aside

ROANOKE, VA. JULY 9. 1893.
DELEGATES ELECTED TO JULY $.
o,Ferrall. TYLER. Doubtful.
THE CANVASS.

The following counties elect delegates
tomorrow: Botetourt, Buckingham,
Caroline, Elizabeth City, Floyd, James
City, Louisa, Matthews, Nansemond,
Northampton and Wythe. Chesterfield
elects on the 11th and Greene on the
18th. Several counties, which were
thought to select on the 10th, have de-
farred their conventions until later
date, but out of the 100 delegates to be
chosen Colonel O'Ferrall is reasonably
certain of receiving over 100, making
his total we'll above 900 with not over
fifty for his opponents.
1t is officially announced that Colonel
O'Ferrall has the full number OF dele
gates claimed for him and THE TINES
desires to inform the misinformed
Record that Major Tylers personal
estimates allow for only $50 delegates.
We are Indifferent to what he gives out
as his estimates. He may lead Colonel
Butord fifty votes, but he will not have
over 400 delegates at the outside against
LOO for Colonel O'Ferrall. Up to date
Colonel O'Ferrall is about ten votes
ahead Of his estimates. This Is due to
to the fact that he began by con-
ceding every doubtful vote to his oppo-
nents. Now, watch the result OF this
weeks ballotings.

Points ON Coffee Making.

Remember III making coffee
That the same flavor will not suit ev-
cry taste.
That every one can be suited to a
nicely by properly blending two or moro
kinds.
That equal parts of Mocha, Java and
Rio will be relished by good many
people
That a mild coffee can be made dan
gerously strong and still retain the mild
ness of favor.
That the enjoyment of beverage and
slavish devotion thereto are quite differ
snt things.
That the flavor is improved if the
liquid is turned from the dregs as soon
ms the proper strength has been obtained.
That where the percolation method is
used the coffee should be ground very
fine or the strength will not be extracted
That if the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should be rather
coarse; otherwise it will invariably be
muddy.
That good coffee will always com
mand fair price, but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily of high
quality.
That in serving the cups and cream
should be warm. The cream should be
put In the cup before the coffee is pour
ed in, but it is immaterial when the
sugar is added.
That level teaspoonful of the ground
coffee to each cup is the standing allow
ance, from which deviation can be made
in either direction according to the
strength desired.

They Are Not Complaining.

At present. while the whole converse
tlon of most men you meet is on the
stringency of the money market it is
really relief to meet with business
man VINO is not croakiDg over hard
times. TINES man dropped into the
X. e. S. clothing store yesterday. and
asked the proprietors: How is bust
ness?" oh" was the answer, "busi.
ness is booming Hard times do not
seem to be affecting us. We have such
large lot OF summer goods on hand
that we are disposing Of at greatly re-
duced rates that business keeps in a
rush. Do you see this enormous stock
of summer clothing suits that run from
S12 to SIS each? Well, we are selling
these goods off, to make room for fall
stock, at 50 so per suit" just then q
rush OF customers came in, and the con.
versation was broken off.

HANGING BASKETS.
Homemade In Every Respect and Worry
Pretty When Finished.

To make something out of nothing,
says the New York Recorder, is prob
lem which affords endless delight to
many minds. Where resources are linn
tied this is not n waste of energy. Old
fruit cans may be converted into very
graceful hanging baskets with no ex-
pense except the labor of the artisan.
who may be home artisan at that. It
is II modified idea of the working in iron
that is such u fad with English women.
For good sized basket take one of
the empty 9-pound cans, such as apples
come in. With n scribe awl mark it
into strips from an inch to half inch
In width, and with pair of large, old
shears cut to within two inches of the
bottom. Now bend these strips first
into n sharp right angle, then into a
compound curve, inclining somewhat
toward the center, and again outward.
Graceful curves will suggest themselves
to you as you proceed, but all the curves
for each basket must be alike. With q
heavy piece of heavy wire form hoop
larger in circumference than the top of
the can in it's natural state, and with n
pair of pliers bend the strips over the
iOOp az CHuti lIOLl edCU OUTe1.
Use three or four lengths of wire for
hanging it mp by securing these also to
the hoop at equal distances from each
other, so as to get perfect balance.
Cans of all sizes. from large 5-gal-
Ion oil can to the pound baking powder
box, may be used. The larger cans,
whether square or round, make graceful
urns, and mounted on rustic stumps or
on some huge bowlder or crowning "a
bit of rockery will serve to adorn your
lawn.
The tops of the vessels must be cut
out with the shears as the first step in
the proceedings. If you do not own and
cannot borrow n pair Of timers shears
for the heavy work, it will cost but d
few cents to get timer to do the cut
ting. Paint them seal brown, black or
red, and before putt & in the plants
line with moss or spaghnum to keep the
earth from sitting through.
