The Dispatchs prediction as 20 the re-
suits of the ball games played yesterday
In Richmond ana Norfolk was verified.
Richmond has taken three siraights from
Roanoke, and Norfolk has performed a
like feat with the retersviilians. The
Crows have recently defeated the oyster
Dredgcrs with apparent ease. and there
Is no apparent reason. everything taken
into consideration, why the rest of the
prediction should not prove equally as
accurate.
The Farmers have certainly let go their
hold on first place. and whether by the
attraction of grayi:auon or other induce
nents limited at by the Petersburg pa
pers. they are rapidly falling to medic
Gritty. While tits true the Agriculturis,s
downward career has raised Norfolk, who
rests on the other end OF the sec-saw.
the Crows are doing a little balance act
Of their own. and are not letting the salt
water FISH gain an inch on them.
There was flaw in the Dispatch's
prediction, however, which may cause a
slight change in the standing between
Norfolk and Richmond at the end OF
next week. II was stated that the Crab
eaters would lay of for three days
Monday. Tuesday. and wednesday. That
was the programme, but Mr.. summers
has decided not TO allow his boys too
much rest, so on Monday he Will play Il
postponed game with I.ynchburg. III The
Hin Climbers should tahe the game, and
Richmond should carry out the pro-
gramme as arrangedwhich she VIII
doubtless do--,hen Norfolk will take a
back seat. even before the seat has been
arranged for her. IT, on the other hand.
the I'M Climbers should be defeated. then
Norfolk viii only have partially Kept
abreast Of Richmond and II the Crows
take the two games expected OF them
from the Crabs. the result will be as an
toipated on next Saturday.
We've arranged the programme now,

the rest Put your shoulder TO the wheel.

The Record,
A sad Fatality.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August 25.-
Near ST. Augustine. Fla. to-day Mr.. j.
W. Craft accidentally killed his wife. MIR.
Craft was preparing to so hunting and
was sitting on the porch with his gun
across his knee. the muzzle pointing to-
ward his wife, who was sitting with her
back toward her husband. In some unac-
countable way the gun was discharged,
the load of buckshot entering the woman's
back and killing her instantly. Mr.. Craft
is almost crazed by the accident.

II will be seen that Richmond has play
ed four more games than Norfoik ana
two more than Petersburg. the crows
have achieved one more victory than the
Crabs and one less than the Farmers
The last column. though, Is Attle
against the black-plumed birds.
If Richmond takes the three games
from Petersburg this week she will have
won GO games and lost Al. and Petersburg
will have won 60 and lost IL also. Peters
burg's percentage will then be 59i and
Richmond's will be COZ IL Petersburg
succeeds in getting one out of the three
the percentage will still be in favor OF
Petersburg. Richmonds percentage Will
be b92 and Petersburg's Goa. The loss or
one OF these games will not only be hurt-
full to the Crows chances for the pen
nant. but will almost preclude the posi-
bility of their taking even second place
unless Norfolk loses to Lynchburg. and
even then q large element of doubt VIII
exist II behoovcs the black-suited boys

 g Representing Macon County in the General Assembly,
DIES SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME
Tn TuSkegee-Both Houses Ad- journ Out of Respect to
 His Memory.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 21.-[Sper l. The general assembly transacted no ousi- ness today.
 After the journal had been read In each house the announcement was made that Judge P. Syd Holt, the distinguished mem Der of the house from Macon county, ha died during the morning at his home 1n Tuskegee. Both houses appointed com mittees to attend the funeral of the de- ceased and adjourned out of respect to his memory.
 The senate committee is A1essrs. Good wyn and Williams. The house committee is Messrs. Knight, links, Green, Ewell, Mcqueen, Smith of Autauga and Harris. They went to Tuskegee tonight and will att tend the funeral in body.
 Judge Holt was one of the best and wisest democrats in the assembly. He has served his people in the lower house for years and had formed many warm attach ments there among the old members. Speaker Clark showed his appreciation of Judge Holt's good qualities by placing him upon several of the most important com mittees and making him chairman of the committee on education.
 Judge Holt's death was unexpected. He was in attendance at the opening of the session and remained at his post in the house until last Saturday, when his en- feeDled condition necessitated his depart ure for home. The news of his death was a severe shock to his friends.

He said: "Wben it appeared there was not quorum pres- ent I, of course, adjourned to the next reg ular meeting night, as is a custom; but my attention was called to the fact that it was the last regular meeting night before the election, and that it was necessary to meet before that time.

TWO YOUNG HEARTS MADE ONE AT THE
 uNION nEpoT-

TWO YOUNG HEARTS MADE ONE AT THE
 UNION DEPOT.
 The union depot was the scene of an- other runaway marriage last night about o'clock.
 It was the same old tale that has been told over and over again, that of objecting parents and couple blindly in love. The bride's parents objected, the loving couple planned for the execution of what they in- tended to do sooner or later and resolved to carry out their plans. They set a date and selected Birmingham as the place, for they knew if such thing could not be carried out successfully here there was no spot upon the green earth where it could. They knew that dozens of others had carried out such plans here, and therefore they felt they would be at home.
 On Louisville and Nashville No. 2 yes- terday morning was J. D. Lamor, well dressed young man, who got off here. He walked around the city all day and seemed little restless. Last night at S:30 Miss Carrie M. Doster stepped off Louisville and Nashville No. 10 and was met by the young man mentioned. They seemed happy to- gether and no time was lost. Judge Porter was sent for and in a short while arrived. h the ladies' waiting room of the union passenger station he met the young couple and in the proper manner pronounced them man and wife.
 The couple came from Prattville, thirteen miles from Montgomery, where they had known each other and learned to love.
 There was but one witness to the solemn ceremony and that was MT. William Wise.
