Roanoke Boys Jump On to Me-
kenna, But Can't Find Moran.
After Scoring Five Runs in tho Second
Inning At LynchburR Our Boys Slump
in Their Batting, and We Record a
Yellow Defeat.

LYNCHBURG, Aug. 2O.-Fitzmorris was
in the box for the visitors and did hard
work, but the sluggers got on to him.
McKenna started out to pitch the game
for Lynchburg, bat was batted SO heavily
in the second inning that Moran was put
in the box. Moran pitched seven in
nings and his work was superb in every
respect, only two hits being made off
him.
The entire team played winning
game, and stronger com bination than
the Roanokes would have gone down
before such playing as the Lynchburgs
did this afternoon. Lynchburg took the
lead in the first inning, Meara, McFar-
Ian and McClosky scoring. Roanoke
got ahead in the second, five of her
players coming home. McHooveter hit
to right field, Crockett was hit by a
pitched ball, Ellis made two Dagger,
McGinnis and Fitzmorris made singles,
Daniel a double, and Meara made an
error. Five to three in favor of Roa-
noke was the way the score stood then.
In the third inning Elsey landed out
a two-bagger and scored on McCloskey's
double. In the fourth Kuox bstted 3
little easy ball and made first. 1t was
in this inning that Third Baseman Cav
anaugh, OF the Roanokes, got his hand
hurt by thrown ball from Fitzmorris
and had to retire from the game. Nc.
Hooveter was put at second, with Boyd
at third and Cross in left field. Meara
came to the bat and got his base on balls
and Moran hatted one to short, Knox
scoring. McFarlan banged out a two
Dagger and Mesra and Moran crossed
the plate.
In the fifth Reed batted a ball to
Boyd, and went all the way round the
bases on Boyd's wild throw to first
Knox hunted and beat tho ball out and
Moran smashed out the handsomest hit
OF the game, a three Dagger, and Knox
scored. Then McFarlan knocked fiy
which Cross muffed, and Moran scored
In the sixth McCloskey made hit,
went 10 second on Leshy's sacrifice, to
third on Chilis' hit and scored on Nc

BRECKINKIDGE STILL FIGHTING.
He Speaks at the Home of His Opponent,
But Is Poorly Received.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 2O.-The
breckenridge storming Of Hon. w. c..
Owens home, Georgetown, to-day was
failure so far as converting citizens of
Dick Johnson's old homo TO the Brock
inridge faith vas concerned. Special
trains were run from all points in the
Ashland Congressional district, and
probably 1000 people landed in the CITY,
On nearly every house and the Ian

stopped, placards were thickly tackled
up bearing the Device: "Our candidate
Hon. w. G. Owens The speaking
took place in the courthouse which held
only about 600 people. There was
probably 200 women present. Colonel
breckenridge was introduced by Dr.
John Lewis, who said he did not
condone the adulterous acts OF Colonel
breckenridge, but was not willing to
desert friend in need.
The Colonel was on his mettle and
did his best to convert some Of his
county opponents, but his dragging into
the campaign the name of their idol,
Richard Nj. johnson, was too much, and
not a man extended the Colonel his
hand OF sympathy. There WAS an ex-

Prof. j. Poyntz Nelson, of this city, was
shot through the left thigh, and for q

the State capital to day to personally
investigate the condition of 1000 desti.
tute employees OF the Pullman Palace
Car Company, their wives and children.
Chairman Heathcote, of the strike com

of the company, who we're out OF work,
were in starving condition, and that
their families were also suffering for
want of the necessaries of life. After @
thorough investigation the governor
found that this statement OF tho condi-

THE POP-CUN BILLS RETURNED
To the Senate From the Finance
Committee Greatly Altered.
The House Made an Amazing Blunder on
the Barbed Wire Bill, Passing a Meas
ure They Did Not Intend-Lead Ore
Amendment Agreed to by the Ways
and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Har-
ris, acting chairman CT the finance COM
mittee, carried out today the promise
which he made to the Senate last week,
that the four house bills to place on the
free list sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed
wire, would be reported back from the
committee il they were referred to it.
They were all reported back--but. all
but one, in forms very different from
those in which the House had prepared
them The free sugar bill no longer
provided for free sugar, but for an ad
valorem duty Of 40 per cent. on all
sugars, and for special specific duty of
cents a gallon on molasses testing
above 40 and not above Sc degrees, and
OF cents on molasses above Sc de-
grees, emitting all reference to differ
entails. The free coal bill came back
with provision for duty on all coal i'm
ported from countries that levied an i'm
port duty on American coal. The free
iron ore bill was the only one that came
back in its original shape.
AS to the barbed wire bill, the expos
ure Of laundering on the part of the
House was amazing. 1t appeared that
VIC house III representatives In Its pre-
clpitancy had not, as 1t intended to do,
placed barbed wire on the free list at
all, but had, on the contrary, made the
materials out of which it is manufac-
tured free, thus giving all the benefits
OF the legislation to the manufactures
OF baroed wire, and none OF them TO the
farmers OF the United States.
InSthe House.
The House was in session but fifty
minutes to-day and in that time trans
acted little business of Importance. a
bill was passed appropriating 50, 600 for
additional clerical force In the bureau of
internal revenue and 5000 for the ex.
penses OF the commission to determine
the amount of tho claim OF the Venezu.
elan Steam Transportation Company, OF
New York, against Venezuela.
Tarsney's bill to amend the lead ore
item was agreed upon by the committee
on ways and means and was reported
and placed on the calendar.

Imitation Currency.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20.-United States
secret service operatives have discovered
here box containing S70.0 in due
bills, which have been passing as cur
rency in the small towns OF Kansas.
Operative Muphy seized the bills at
Topeka, Kan, on the ground that they
were made in intimation of United
States currency. The bills are as large
as the 10 cant currency notes which
were in circulation many years ago and
paid by merchants to farmers for crops
and which called for their face value in
goods sold by the issuing OF these notes.
No arrest we're made. but business was
ordered to be discontinued.
