Strong Testimony as to His High Char
acter for Truth and veracity.
RICHMOND, Aug. l5.-If the clouds
about Goodman were bit dark yester-
day, they frightened considerably this
morning and he and his wife INST have
boon proud OF tho array OF testimony to
his high character for truth and verac-
ity. Rev. DR.. Hatcher. Captain Hulace
and Sergeant Eppes, OF Richmond, and
Q. G. Walker, M. l.. Akers and other
Chesapeake and Ohio people, including
engineers and brakemen running with
Goodman, Hon. l. L. Withrow, citizens
along the line Of Goodmsn's run and
many others enthusiastically testified
that. Goodman's character for tru th and
veracity was high and that they would
believe him on oath whether interested
or not.
The prosecution got decidedly q set
back whom Engineer George e. Fisher
was on the stand. Mr.. Craig asked il
Bryant's character for truth and veracity
was good. The witness had heard not.
He had heard Baggage Master Gunter
say that he would not believe Bryant on
oath. Bryant Ia the witness who testi-
fed that Goodman said of Parsons, 81
collared him and gave him all had"
This caused sensation in court"
Train Dispatcher Cooper testified
that he was present and satisfied Good
man did not say this to Bryant The
station agent at Springwood testified
that Mrs. Staples once came to the
station and asked II Goodman was
aboard, and after seeing he was, boarded
Goodman's train. The Misses Parsons
are here and will probably go on the
stand for the prosecution.
This afternoon the evidence was con-.
Guided and to morrow argument will
begin as soon as Judge Moore gives his
instructions to the jury The case will
probably be submitted Friday afternoon.
A verdict msy, therefore, be expected
by the end of the week.

MADE IT THREE STRAIGHT.
Richmond Won Again After a
Hard Fight.
1t Was a Splendid Game, However-Roa-
noke's Fielding Almost Perfeot-The
Magiclans Gould Not Hit Bailey-Fitz-
morris Was Also nm Enigma to tho Wis.,
itors-Won in the Ninth.

Richmond made it three straight
yesterday, but they had to labor mighty
hard to do it. Roanoke put up an al.
most perfect fielding game, and they
lost through their inability to hit
Bailey.
Fitzmorris did the twirling for the
home team, and pitched a gilt-edged
game; but the visitors managed to bunch
two hits each in the seventh and ninth
innings, and these coupled with Ellis
unfortunate throw did the business.
Notwithstanding this wild throw Ellis
played great ball and covered an i'm
mense amount of territory.
Roanoke made their only runs in The
third. Daniel was given his base on
balls. O'Hagan hit to right and
McGann fumbled 1t SLOWING Daniel to
soore, O'Hagan going to second on the
&. throw in. Boyd singled and O'Hagan
went to third. Boyd started to steal
second and while they were trying to
run him down between bases, O'Hagan
stole home.
Richmond broke the ice in the seventh.
McGsnn hit to left and the ball bounced
over McHooveter's head, the runner
reaching second. Tate's single scored
McGann, but Pop" was left on base as
Gettinger, Gilman and Wells were
easily retired.
The score remained to In Roanoke's
favor until the last OF the ninth.
McGann, the first man up, put the
ball over the left field fence for home
run, tieing the score. Tate followed
with two-bagger and Gettinger sscri-
feed him to third. Gilman then sent a
grounder to Ellis, who f1elded the ball
cleanly. but threw low to the plate to
catch Tate. O'Hagan let it pass him
and the game was lost. Following is
the score:

Rumors That the Washington Train WIN
Go Over Some Other Road.
The officials of the Southern Railway,
the corporation formed to further the
scheme OF Drexel, Morgan & Co. for
the reorganization of the Richmond and
Danville+ and the East Tennessee,
virginia and Georgia, are being ques.
toned by Atlanta and Chattanooga re-.
porters, regarding the rumor that the
route OF she popular Washington Yes.
tibule Is to be changed.
When the receivers of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia formally
transferred that property to the new
company on August l. Mr.. Baldwin, the
third vice-president, remarked: Nov
we have line of our own through to
washington" 1t was generally under
stood by the non official witnesses of
the transfer that Mr.. Baldwin directly
referred to the running Of the Washing.
ton vestibule.
The Knoxville Sentinel goes further
and asserts that, commencing Septem-
Der l, the Washington vestibule from
Chattanooga will be switched off the
present route at Morrissown, Tenn, and
sent over tho company's own lines to
Washington vis Asheville. This would
leave the Norfolk and Western out en-
tlrely, and would save the Southern the
ditfe rential now paid the Norfolk and
western on through passenger service.
The distance via Ashville from Chat
tanooga Is very little longer than via
Bristol and Roanoke, and the assertion
Is freely made by the newly appointed
assistant general passenger agent, Mr..
Benscoter, that II it was decided to
change the route the time schedule
would be no longer for the run than at
present. The officials Of the Southern
refuse either to directly deny or affirm
the rumor.
The officials OF the Norfolk and West.
ern were seen by TINES representa-
tive yesterday and stated that they had
not been notified by the Southern Com
pany OF any such change.

Henry j. Davidson, jr., proprietor OF

some time for an orchestra suitable to
play TO the guests at his elegant Haleyon

ninety miles from New York. He had
heard eight orohestrss within the past
| few weeks, previous to his arrival yes
/ terday in Keene to listen to the local
organization, and had almost arrived at
the conclusion that he could not find
what he was after. One OF his first state =
ments to Mr.. Darlington was as follows;
Il thought il funny that a musical organ
ization that amounted to anything could
exist, in the backwoods of New Hamp-
shire,
A special rehearsal was given for Mr..
Daviuson's benefit yesterday afternoon at
the rooms Of the orchestra, and II was a
genuine surprise to the New 1orKer.
Comprehensive miscellaneous program,
from dance music up, was given, and the
delighted. The result was the drawing
up OF an agreement at the close OF the
performance, ten members OF the orches-
ira signing a contract Tor a season 81
