TOM PAGE SUES FATTY"
The Author Bought Team Of Horses ana
One OF Them Went Blind.
(New York Worldly


(New York Worldly
Charles +. Bates, the eminent horse
man, known to his friends as Fatty
and Papa had hardly recovered from
his astonishment at the announcement
of the marriage of Miss Annette +. Nc
Grath, who claimed to be his wife and
exhibited him In the courts, when an
other surprise overlook him In the shape
of a suit brought by Thomas Nelson
Page. of Warrington. Mr.. Page Is well
known TO III public as a brilliant lite
rary man. II may never be known how
his path crossed that of Mr.. Bates,
equally prominent in the horse line, but
the result Of their meeting Is the fact
that the author wants 500 from the
obese tandem driver.
On Saturday Severance a. Clark. coun-
sci for Bates, asked Judge Bischoff, In
the Court of Common Pleas. TO compel
MIR. Page. as a nonresident. to give Sc
curity for costs. The motion was granted.
The complaint is directed against
Charles S. Bates, c. Francis Bates, and
others, doing business under the firm
name of Martin, Bates & Co., as the
New York Coach, Horse and Cab Com
pany. 1t alleges that on February q,
1884, the plaintiff bought from Bates and
his co-defendants two carriage horses,
warranted kind and sound, with one re-
servation.
The price paid was s700. 1t was stipu-
lated that the defendant should pay Mr..
Page 500 "if the near horse Jake, went
blind In one eye within a year." This
stipulation shows either that Mr.. Bates
had great faith In his horse, or that Mr..
Page had very little confidence in Mr..
Bates or the horse. The contract went
even farther, however, and stipulated that
the buyer should receive 500 from the
defendants IL Jake went blind in both
eyes within a year Mr.. Page seems to
have been better guesser that Mr..
Bates, for he says that prior 20 April,
25. 1894, Jake did go blind in one eye.
The plaintiff asks that he shall be paid
500, as per agreement for that eye, or
the loss OF 1t.
AS a second cause of action, Mr.. Page
alleges that the horses were wild and
unmanageable. He says that on April
the defendants in as good condition. ex-
cept for the 800 blindness of one OF
them, as when they were received by
him. The defendants refused Mr.. Page's S
offer. and the horses were accordingly
brought to this city and soldcat public
auction. They brought only Sle5. The
plaintiff asks in this action $655 damages
and for expenses in sending the horses
to and from Washington. for stabling
&c The defendants have put In no
answer as yet. The name OF the other
horse was Jack.

LYNCHBURG. VA. July l7.-tSpecial)
During the past seven days the tempera-
ture has averaged slightly below the nor
NAL for the season. but this has been
mainly due to the cold nights. as the
DAYS have been hot There has been
generally more than the normal amount
OF sunshine, and generally very little or
no rainfall. During the past week, though
favorable local showers occurred on SUM-
day In Rockingham, Roanoke, Bedford.
Campbell. Prince Edward. Surry, and
Norfolk counties. yet rain Is still needed.
In all other sections, and even In the
above-named counties, the drought Is very
damaging to all growing vegetation. In
the vicinity OF Fredericksburg and In
portions OF Pittsylvania county the stock
is being fed as In mtdwinter.
CONDITIONS.
The crops are doing fairly well In the

orally In fair condition though rain Is
needed But generally throughout Pied

and the Valley districts, the drought has
been, and Is, very damaging to the grow

After the game Mr.. Harry Cramer. a
trick bicycle-rider, from Alexandria, gave
an exhibition of his skill on the wheel.
He went through successfully quite a
number Of difficult feats, and showed
himself TO be a thorough master Of the
cycle.
A slight row occurred on the bleacheries
during the progress OF the game, In which
one young man attempted to throw an
other over the fence. They were both
elected by the county authorities.
Probably the most popular and highly
esteemed man in Richmond to-day Is
little Baby" keenan,. His pitching in
Yesterdays game was almost wonderful,
and so successfully did he hold down the
hits of the Clam-Openers that by many
Of the cranks he is considered to be worth
his weight in gold. He not only twlrls
well. but he bats and fields WELL and
nan who steals base on MIN has to be
mighty quick.
Bailey will probably go In the box for
