ANOTHER DEFEAT.
The Richmond College Boys
Score Another Victory.

The Richmond College took the home
team into camp again yesterday after
noon to the tune of Z to 4. Anthony
started in to pitch for the "Spiders"
and for three innings he had the R. A. C.
boys at his mercy. In the fourth
the home team lined the ball all over
the field. In this inning Meade started
of with home run. the ball bounding
over the left field fence. Colliflower
made his first appearance in the box
for the R. A. C. He only pitched five
innings, the college boys making seven
hits off him and four runs. He was
not as effective as he would have been
had he and Daniel played together be-
fore. Yesterdays game is no criterion
of what he can do. After he and Daniel
practice together for a while he can be

up mnch better game in the field than
they did the day before, and they also
hit the ball harder.
Richmond was first to bat and Phil
Ups led off with hit and went to second

his base on four balls. c. Hodge flew
out to McGinDiss and O'Hara struck

Johnson went in the box for the WISH
tors, and he held the home team down
to two hits. The playing of Johnson,
e. Hodge and Phillips, for tho visitors,
was very fine. For the home toam,

his position like veteran. While he

TO ROB THE GOVERNMENT.
A Very Extensive Conspiracy Now Being
Unearthed,

very Extensive Conspiracy Now Being
: Unearthed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-What is be-
lieved to be very extensive conspiracy
to defraud the Government is now being
unearthed by the inspectors of the
Postoffice Department. c. P. Barrett,
of Spartansburg, S. c., who is said to be
the head conspirator, has been arrested
upon what is believed to be positive
proof Of his guilt. The story as told by
the Postotiice Department officials, is
substantially as follows:
EARLY in the last administration Bar
rett succeeded in getting him self and a
friend appointed as postoff1ce refrees in
the Spartansburg district. Officials of
the department. were expected to refer
to them all applications for appoint
ment as postmasters in that section
together with all questions as to the
establishment of postoflces, etc. Bar
rett, 1T is said, at once began operations
and succeeded in getting from twenty
live to fifty new offices located
in York, Greenville, Pi:kens.
and other counties in his section OF the
State. 1t has since been discovered
that in many cases the postmaster was
the only patron of his office, and by
false returns as to cancellations Of
stamps very good income was OBJ
tanned.
10 some of the cases the bonds fur
niahed are said to have been bogus.
Barrett also had himself appointed as
special mail carrier to these Offices,
which was another service OF revenue.
1t is also said that some OF these post.
masters procured printed letter heads
and by taking advantage of their posi-
ton as postmasters and by giving as
references Barrett and a numbe OF
other postmasters in the deal succeeded
in getting credit for pianos, sewing
machines, etc, from city dealers. AL
together the scheme is said TO have
been very extensive and profitable
one. Several OF the parties are now in
jail and additional developments are
eXpected.

Yesterday afternoon that Gen. James

G. Wysor in the courthouse at New
bern, Pulaski county, Wednesday after
noon, iufiicting wounds in the shoulder,
throat and face.
The court had been engaged for sew.
eral days in hearing the case OF Hugh

folk and Western Railroad Company
for S20,0 damages Cor injuries received
in the wreck at New River one year

the grounds that the amount was OK.
cessive. Judge Williams refused to
entertain the motion, and Mr.. Wysor
stated that he had heard that the, de-
PENDANT would file bill OF exceptions
for an appeal and hoped they would
hurry about it so as to allow Judge
Ford Of counsel to return home to
Lynchburg.
General Walker replied; 1--WE will
take onr own time about that and a
wrangle ensued. AS the quarrel be-
came angrier, the lie was passed and
MIR. Wysor showed General Walker up
against the railing of the bar. Several
blows were struck on each side, and be-
fore the bystanders could prevent It.
General Walker cut Mr.. Wysor with a
knife in the shoulder and on the cheek,
the cash running from the mouth
When the injured man found he had
been cut, he was desperately angry, and
1T required dozen men to hold him.
When he got away from his friends he
secured pistol and instituted search
for the General, who had been spirited
away by his friends. Afterwards he
was taken to the office of DR.. Samuel
Preston, who dressed his wounds,
which are not as serious as was first re-
ported: Both gentlemen were placed
under bond of 5000 to keep the peace,
and the court adjourned until next
Wednesday.
General Walker is one of the most
prominent lawyers and politicians in
Southwest Virginia. He was COM
mander OF the "Stonewall" brigade
during the civil war, served one term
as attorney general and at different
times was prominent candidate for
governor. OF late years he has been
aff1liating with the Republicans.
j. c. Wysor is a young lawyer of
prominence. He is one of the ablest
criminal lawyers in the western part OF
the State He was one of counsel for
the prosecution in the celebrated Baker
trial at Abingdon and is ted with
almost every great criminal case in his
section of the State. He was a Presi-
Dental elector at the last election and
is shrewd and influential politician.
Bad blood existed between the two
lawyers and several unpleasant "tilts"
have occurred between them in the
courtroom recently. Friends of the
gentlemen fear that this is not the end
of the trouble.
