When the club-owners of the National Base
hall League put their heads together back in
the eighties and decided that the best thing for
the game at large was to equalize the play
ing strength of the teams they took sensible
step. After years of trials and tribulation this
equalization scheme has been effected, and the
present race for the League pennant shows
that the dozen teams in the race are about as
equally matched as it is possible to make them.
Now another problem shows itself, and it is
becoming more conspicuous every day. With
the teams so evenly matched the least slip or
misfortune is likely to turn an apparent de-
feat into victory. Luck now plays an i'm
portant part in the game, as has been clearly
shown this season. Dame Fortune has been
particularly unlxind to the Giants and Bride
grooms, and they are hoping that something
will call from them the unfavorable attention
of the tickle jade. They certainly seem to de-
serve few kindly smiles.

SCENES OF R1oTING IN MARsErLLEs

Bread Depots and Wagons Mobbed by
Crowds of the Unemployed.
PARIS, Feb. 3.-Bread riots broke out
Ill Marseilles to-day while the carts
were carrying the loaves to the centers
Of distribution. The carts had been
placed under military guard, as the
crowds OF unemployed were already
threatening when the first carts were
sent out. In the abattoir district the
guard at the bread depot was over
powered, the doors were forced, and the
building was pillaged.
In tho evening rioters stormed a
bakery. The proprietor met the leaders
after they had forced the door, with a
revolver in each hand. He ordered the
men out, and when they tried to seize
him, fired two shots. Two rioters were
wounded severely, and the rest re-
treated. The mob tried to enter another
bakery, but was beaten back by the
police and friends OF the proprietor.
There were several skirmishes between
troops and strikers, but only few men
were injured. Ten strikers we're ar
rested. The strike was soon after
ended.

Seriously Burned.

occurred this afternoon in the Conyng-
ham mine OF tho Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company in this city, and eight
miners were burned. four perhaps
fatally. Those likely 20 die are Thomns
Donnelly, burned on face, arms and
breast; Thomas: Keenan,, burned on face,
and breast: Patrick Meehan, badly
burned on the face and body; John
Morgan Parsons, burned on head and
breast. The others injured are william
Johnson Michael Ramsay, Samuel
Fassett and Edward Ward.
The men are all miners and laborers
and were working in the first district oS
the upper lift OF the mine when the ex-
plosion occurred. Doors and props we're
blown down and heavy falls Of rock and
coal followed the shook. The explos icon
was followed by heavy black damp,
but the rescuing party managed to gea
to the wounded mon with stretchers and
carried them out Of the bottom OF the
shaft and to safety. The mine officials
are unable to account for the explosion.

were negligent, and that the main ar

The question OF hospital for Roa-
noke is now addressing itself to tho
serious consideration OF the thoughtful
people Of tho city. The present quar-
ters of the Homo for the Sick are en-
tirely too small for the accom- mediation
OF all who apply, and are in no wise
characteristic of the public spirit OF
Roanoke.
To ascertain the facts and learn Just
what is needed in the hospital matter
TIMES reporter called on Mrs. j. A.
Jamison yesterday. Mrs. Jamison is
president of the Kings Daughters
board, who have the Home for the Sick
in charge.
The home is situated at 726 Nelson
street, and is u ten-roomed brick house.
There arc seven beds in tho house, con.
sequentiy only seven persons can be
cared for at once. The rent of the
building is paid by gentlemen VIII obli-
gated themselves to pay 1t. Nothing is
ever said to the public about money to
meet the expenses of tho home.
The five circles Of Kings Daughters,
regardless Of denomination. obligated
themselves to have all the other neces-
saries provided for. and have been doing
it in their quiet way all along. The
regular monthly income of the Home is
$40, and the monthly expenses amount
to $3.50.
The societies OF Kings Daughters
have given two splendid entertainments
within the last year, which were liber.
ally patronized by the people of Roa-
noke. The ladies are now arranging to
have a regular donation on Ash Wed.
nesday, which will be applied to the
needs of the home with the same care
that has always been q distinguished
characteristic with them
There are two trained nurses, Mrs
st. John and Mrs. Dennison, of New
York, who give the patients their entire
time and attention. A colored man and
woman do the cooking and the work of
the home.
All of this costs money and shows at
once how much tho good woman are
willing to do without word of com.
plant. 1t also shows that the business
men Of Roanoke have become negligent
in matter that should be top on their
minds.
A com Portable and commodious hos
tital is one OF the crying needs of Roa.
noke to-day.

A Burning Building Full of Mon and Girl
Employees.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 3.-One of the
fercest and most destructive fires that
has visited this city for some time ragged
late this afternoon on Spring stree
opposite the Crittendon Hotel. The fire
was caused by the explosion of gas
oline stove on the fourth floor of Stahl-
man & STAIRS trunk factory and the
entire fire department of the city was
needed to subdue the flames, and this
was only done after q stubborn fight.
The building was full Of men and girls
at work, many of whom leaped from the
upper stories to lower buildings. Miss
Barnett, forewoman in the trunk fac
tory, jumped from the third floor window
to the ground, and escaped alive. Miss
Hattie Hamilton. aged II, would not
jump, and was burned to death The
others escaped. The loss will reach
$4,000, and falls upon Stahlman &
