NoRroLK's GOOD PLAYING.
A Fine Record Against Roanoke
Made Yesterday.

NORFOLK. VA. May lG.-(Special)-
Ten runs. and all earned. was Norfolk's
record against Roanoke to-day. This
would mean victory under ordinary cir
cumstances. but there were extraordinary
circumstances, Ed. Hers pitching being
OF the latter. Up to the sixth inning hc
had allowed only two hits, and having
wen the game he let down, not caring &c
use his good right arm any more than ne
cessary His opponents then batted out
runs and stopped. that is. the rain took
a hand in the contest and stopped II.
Jupiter Pluvus however, cut down Nor
folks score 4 runs. In the ninth inning
Norfolk batted out runs. one of which
was a fencer by Herr-the second during
the game-but Roanoke did not have her
chance at the bat. rain preventing. The
umpire called the rarne back 90 the end

the only error made was a ragged throw

The most remarkable feature OF the game
was the batting of Herr. He really went
TO the bat five times and lined out two
home runs and two doubles Zone OF thc
former not being credited. however,, while
Corcoran also hit the BAH hard, he having
a home run. a double, and single added

New Trial for Chase.

County court convened at Newport
last week to hear the motion fora new
trial in the case of State vs.. Chase,
recently convicted Of the murder
OF J. E. Holloway, and the mo.
ton to set aside the verdict on &C
count of new evidence and disaualifi-
cations Of juror. Simon Moranville
Of Derby was disqualified from the
fact that he had expressed and formed
an opinion before the case was heard.
Judge Start rendered decision and
set aside the verdict. The states at
torney directed to prosecute the Juror
for perjury. Chase will be tried at
the February term.
1t Is reported that Mrs. Holloway,
who was tried at the same time and
was acquitted, is having a harder
time to settle with her counsel than
she had before the jury. Report says
that her counsel charged her $3.50 and
that other parties who assisted in the
case have brought in bill for $500 or
more. She will doubtless wish, before
she gets through with the lawyers, that
she had been convicted.

A very affecting incident occurred al

The general stepped forward, reached
out both hands, and grasped both Of
hers, and the two stood looking into
each others faces for what seemed sew

tears coursed down the woman Is cheeks
and look Of intense sympathy and
sadness was reflected on the generals

the silent expression Of despair on one
side and intense sorrow on the other.
They dropped hands and Mrs. Chisholm
passed on. The general was about TO
turn away to resume his place upon
the platform, when, by sudden i'm
pulse, he turned his head to gaze at
the retreating form of the poor widow,
while she at the same instant turned
her face to take aslast look at Gen.

G. G. Graves and w. C.White, armed
with warrant from States Attorney
Stanton, proceeded to the Central
Vermont freight depot at Montpelier
Thursday morning to search for liq-
uor A suspicious looking room in the
rear end Of the depot was the object
of their attention. To this they we're
denied admission, but broke the lock
and entered. There they found and
seized casks Of rum, whiskey, beer, ale
and Italian wine, some OF them on tap
and others unopened. This was taken
up to the court house. B. B. Bailey,
station agent, was summoned to city
court and was charged with allowing
this state Of affairs to exist in the
premises over which he had control.
He was fined SLABS for the expense of
the raid and costs of trial. The liquorl
except barrel Of beer which belonged
to Mr.. Bailey and the cask of wine
which was taken from open freight
depot, were ordered contiscated. Geo.
W. Wing appeared for MI. Bailey and

1t is probable that case arising from
this will be tried in county court this
term or next.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE LAST REUNION.


| Touching Story Of GEN. Grants Farewell
visit 10 the Boys In Blue.
In the fall of 1882 Gen. Grant came
toAyashington to visit his old friend,
GEN. e. F. Beale, lately deceased, and
the Boys in Blue, expressing great
anxiety to meet their old commander
once more, dispatched committee to
Gen. Beale's residence to interview
GEN. Grant and ask him to be present
the next evening at meeting to be
held Ut Masonic temple, on which oc-
casion it was contemplated. In view OF
the fact that many Of the old soldiers
were passing away, to take him by the
hand, look upon his face, give him
greeting, and make their last farewell.
Gen. Grant consented and the next
evening the large ballroom at Masonic
hall was literally packed with thess
boys in blue, accompanied by theiR
wives or other female relatives, await
Ing the coming Of their old COM
mander. Having been detained at q
dinner party, Gen. Grant did not
arrive at the hall until after nine
o'clock. when. in company with Gen.
Beale. he drove up in q carriage. He
was met by the commanding officer of
the regiment and when he saw the
immense crowd Of veterans there as
sembled he expressed great hesitation
about entering
slow can | ever get away from
these old soldiers?" he said 1T is i'm
possible for me to remain longer than
half or three-ouarters OF an hour, and
| am afraid nv presence will excite
them to such an extent that will not
be able to escape in time to meet nv
engagements.
Upon being assured that perfect or
der would be maintained, and that
these old soldiers had not lost, in the
lapse OF time, the lessons of discipline,
and that the general should leave at
any moment he saw fit. he consented
to enter, and amid great cheering and
beating Of drums and squeaking of
flies he was conducted to the platform.
The tumult was simply appalling, and
Gen. Grant was in dismay.
The colonel of the regiment stepped
forward on the platform, commanded
silence. and in an instant hush came
over the assemblape and a pin could
almost have been heard to fall. He
