Roanoke defeated Lynchburg yester-
day. but the happiness Of victory wss
turned to sorrow over q sad accident,
which has disabled one of the home
players for the balance Of the season.
In the seventh inning McGett!gan, who
was receiving Boyd's delivery, bad his
left leg broken at the ankle He was
carried from tho grounds and Daniel
substituted.
When play was called yesterday a
very small crowd was present, notwith-
standing the fact that this series of
games will have great deal to do with
determining whether or not Roanoke
will end in last place.
AS usual the home team went first to
the bat and by couple of safe hits and
like number of errors piled up three
runs. They made two more In the
third on McHooveter's single, Crockett's
double and Reeds error.
Lynchburg got on to Boyd's delivery
in the third and touched him up for
two doubles and single. This, together
with base on balls, gave them three
scores. They added another in the
fourth on Violet's wild throw, base on
balls and Morgan's muff of Reeds high
fly.
The score was tied in the fatal sew.
enth. Reed led off with q single, Moran
flew out to Ellis, McFarlan's single put
Reed on second, and both men were ad-
vanced base when Meara was hit by a
pitched ball. Knox sent high one to
McHooveter, which the latter caught,
but Reed came home en- the out, Nc
Farlan going to third. A moment later
no attempted to steal home. Boyd had
the ball and threw il to McGettigau
the plate. He struck McGet,iga 4 3 left
ankle terrible blow, breaking the
bone. The plucky little catcher held on
to the ball, however, and retired Nc

grounds and he went a. once to McGet,

The Cattle Men Are kicking.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 3O.-It is claimed
by the cattle men Of Southwest Texas
that the new tariff bill will result in
serious injury to the cattle interest of
this section. The duty is reduced from
$40 Der head to 90 per cent ad valorem,
and now that the grass is good on this
side, it is expected that at least 100, 900
cattle will be brought into Texas from
Mexico within the next sixty days and
after being fattened, marketed in this
country, thus forcing down the prices.
Thousands of head of cows and cattle
will also be brought into Texas from
Mexico. There Will also be large ex-
portstions of cheap horses from Mexico
into this country.

Childs of Brattleboro for the Soon

tons of the Forest and Stream Club,
Wilmington, VT" This is hand

about one mile from the charming
village of Wilmington, and command

charming scenery only to be found
among the green hills of old Vermont.
This club is composed of about fifty
>gentlemen from New York, Boston,
Providence, Brattleboro and other
New England towns. The club owns
about $50 acres of wood and tillage
land, on which they have erected a
three-story building with two-story
annex, both handsomely furnished.
The club also owns thirty head of
cattle and horses. Have a good
sugar house fitted with all modern
improvements for making maple
sugar. All are paid for and sur
plus ofpearly $4,000 stands to the
credit of this well organized and well
managed association How delight
fully can the members of this club,
with their families, enjoy, at this SUI
perb mountain home, relaxation
from business cares through the hot
season. They have builded wisely.
And Vermont is full of just such
fairy-like places that sooner or later
will be utilized in just this way.
The New York Press of Monday is
out with lengthy sensational article
showing up the bargaining and intrigue
of Democratic Senators and the Sugar
trust and others of the same ilk. 1t is
charged that certain Senators, assisted
by Secretary Carlisle and connived al
by the President, allowed Havemeyel
to construct the sugar schedule, and in
way to put into the trust treasury
from fifty to fitty-six millions during
the next year, above the regular profits
of refining. This is to be done by de.
laying the time for the sugar schedule
to 90 into effect until December, and
allowing the trust, in the mean time tc
buy sugar, now free, to be put upor
the market at that time with the tariff
addition of one cent Or more pound
The Senatorial end of the bargain wa,
the opportunity to buy sugar stock anc
make an immense gain. 1t is also charg
ed that number of dignifed Senators
embraced this chance and are toda,
richer by hundreds and thousands o
dollars.
This is startling story and there i
but little doubt that it has a substantial
basis In truth.
