Standing OF tho clubs.

League Park was ouly fairly patron.
lied yesterday by the Norfolk public,
but what was lacking in numbers was
made up IN enthus asm, for tho home
team, with the exception of one inning,
took the lead and maintained it to tho
end OF the game, winning by score of
to b. Home run hits were the features
OF the game, four of them being made,
two on each side. and Hager has broken
the record In Norfolk, for when the
''rooters" are longing for good hit,
they generally yell out for some one TO
put 1t over the feuce, but the PLAYER in
question just reversed the order OF
things yesterday and put it under the
fence for "homer," aud this was the
hit that won the game.
Now, word about the umpire, Mr..
Mitchell, whose fitmness in dealing
with the players is TO be commended
but there is limit to all things, and
he should know this. The VIR.
GILMAN speaks especially of his eX-
travaghnt ideas of filming the
players heavily and often. Joanes
was fined yesterday-for what, nobody
knows; and even Mitchell himself does
not know. He was asked why and his
reply was. dirty ball playing" The
game was clean one throughout aud
This style Of holding up an open hand
and saying, THAT costs you five" for
no real or just cause is an imposition
upon the players, and shonid lie uiuped
in the bud. When player deserves n
fine impose it; that is proper, but fin
Ing them because the umpire has the
authority to do SO, and for no other
reason, is simply outrageous to say tue
Ienst. He was of in several of his de
clsions yesterday, and if he wonld on "
get II move on himself aud not pose SO
much, he would do much better.
Besides, he talks TO some of the PLAYERS
when they come to the plate, and even
goes SO far as to tell some Of them
'that they could not hit barn door. "
and that they were rotten" and push
them, when talking to them, aud If they
say anything, lit costs you five" or ten
be the case may be, is the reply. He
should he more consistent.
Appended Is the score:

Marriage in July, Suicide in February.

A dispatch from Luray, Va, says :
"0ur community was shocked Satur-
day when it was announced that the
young and charming wife Of Mr. w.
D. Bohannon had been found dead in
bed. Mrs. Lavinia Bohannon was the
daughter of Hon. William A. Harris,
of Kansas, and eloped with Mr.. Bohan-
non last July, being only about twenty
years of age. The particulars, as far
as can be gathered, are as follows: Mr..
Bohannon had business that called him
away for several hours. He saw his
wife in her room, and while she was
perfectly well, she requested to be al
lowed to remain in bed. On his re-
turn about l p. M, he went to her
room and was Mortified to find her
dead. He at once called Dr. Hudson,
who stated that she had in all proba-
bility been dead several hours. A
letter in locked drawer said /: This
is my own work / did it myself. The
letter also stated that no blame was to
be in any way attached to her husband
who had always been devoted to her.
A box of proprietary pills, of which
only few remained, are supposed to
have caused her death. Quite a num-
Der of her relatives reside in Page.
An inquest was deemed unnecessary
by Coroner Hudson"

She Tore Her Babe to Pieces.

Mrs. Michael Wassel, of Wellington,
Bergen county, N. j., was removed to
the Hackensack Jail Wednesday night
a raving maniac. Early Wednesday
morning Mrs. Wassel awoke with a
shrek which startled her husband.
She called to him to save her from the
grasp of robbers. She said there was
a man in the room. Wassel jumped
out of bed. and quickly lighting a
lamp, became almost powerless with
horror at the sight of his wife tearing
her six weeks old babe to pieces. She
bit it and beat and wrenched the babe
ferociously. The woman seemed to
have the strength Of a lion. Wassel
summoned his brother and the two
wrenched the helpless babe from her
hands after a struggle, but the child
was dead. Mrs. Wassel fought like a
demon with her husband and his broth
er, biting, shrieking and kicking. 1t
took four men to control her before
she was locked up. Their clothing
was partly torn from their backs. The
mangled remains of the dead child
were given over to Undertaken Polluk,
of Passaic, for burial Just after the
birth of the child Mrs. Wassel showed
signs of a deranged mind, and this is
the second time within three weeks
that she has attempted to kill her child.

A "Whosoever Farm"

Rev. DR.. H. M. Wharton, the Balti-
timore evangelist, is arranging to es-
tablish a home and farm for boys
and girls at Luray, Va. He already
owns the farm, which is situated in
the Little Page Valley of Virginia and
among the Blue Ridge mountains. 1t
is his intention to give it the name OF
the "Whosoever Home and Farm,
that its name may indicate that not
only children but others will find there
work, shelter and food. The farm will
be undenominational and open to boys
and girls from every State in the Union.
Those who are not able to pay will
have nothing to pay, but those who
are able to give something will be
charged small sum sufficient to cover
expenses.
There will be school for the Eng
lish branches and workshops of various
kinds in order that the boys and girls
may be taught how to make living.
Boys and girls will be taken from the
Baptist Orphanage in Baltimore to the
farm as fast as they grow large enough,
thus making room for others in the
orphanage.
The farm consists of 800 acres. 1t
will be sustained entirely by free-will
offerings. The Young Mems Chris
tan Association of Rochester, n. Y
where DR.. Wharton is now holding
meetings, has begun to raise a fund,
and, in connection with other associa-
tons, will establish at Luray what will
be known as the Y. NJ. G. A. cottage.
1t is expected that other organizations
will follow this example. Mrs. Whar-
ton is going to raise what she calls
chapel fund in order to build chapel
sufficient for the home and school. DR..
Wharton also intends to endeavor to
give any of the poor, delicate children
of Baltimore accommodations at the
farm for week or ten days during the
heated term.

Proceedings of the Legislature.


The bill TO tax companies operating
rolling stock in the State, which was oe-
signed to catch the Pullman Company,
was killed in the Senate. A bill passed
both houses providing for monthly pay
mems to normal school teachers. Dill
was passed requiring the biennial re-
norris of the State officers to be printed
and furnished to members-elect OF the
Legislature previous to the'session. The
annropriation of so, 900 for State ex-
bibit at the Baltimore exposition was
Knocked out in the House. The Senate
refused to pass the bill distributing the
permanent school fund. The resolution
calling for constitutional convention
was rejected by the Senate
The Senate rejected bills providing
that all sessions of the Supreme Court
be held at Charleston and amending the
law relating to newspaper libel. Inc
latter bill was prepared by Senator Reed,
president of the State Editorial Associa-
ton. and newspaper men all over the
State favored its passage. 49,,
The Governor approved House bill
No. /. amending divorce laws; No. III,
concerning boards of regents OF the
State University, Normal Schools and
School for Deaf and Blind; No. l73, con-
solidating Charleston and Elk City.
The bills providing for compulsory
attendance at schools and making coun-
ties and cities liable for damage done to
property within their limits by mobs
were killed by being referred back to
committee.
In accordance with resolution of the
House. Auditor Johnson rendered an
itemiZed statement of the amount OF
fees collected by him during his term
of office The aggregate amount Is
shown to be Sl3, DIG, of which Sll 602. 90
was received in fees from insurance COM
panies and $1,4l3.50 from the redemp-
ton of lands. He states that the Nir-
ginia land grant books have never been
in his possession, and he has received
nothing from that source. There are
now seventy-seven insurance companies
doing business in the State. Secretary

showing that during his two years of Of
flee he has received in fees 81 ,692. 80.
The bill providing for the reduction
of the State tax to % cents and the in
crease of the State scoool tax to II cents
was killed in the Senate on Monday. Ii
came up before that body and was post
poned until Friday, the day of adjourn
ment.
Conference committees have been APP
pointed on the Senate and House disa-
greements on the appropriation and
school book bills. It's possible that no
agreement will be reached on the school
book bill, which will extend the use OF
the series of books now in use for at
least two years to come.
A resolution providing for committee
to confer with Hon. H. G. Davis as to his
proposed donation of $4,000 and site
for an industrial school for girls has
passed both houses. The committee is
to report to the next session of the Legis-
lature,

a Bank Cashiers Rascality.

The Bank of Lexington, the only
bank at Lexington, Va, closed its doors
last Friday and the announcement was
made that G. NJ. Figgatt, who was for
25 years its cashier, had absconded.
An investigation of the banks affairs
showed that Figgatt had stolen no less
$4,000. OF this amount 100000
was the capital stock of the institution
and the other $4,000 belonged to
the depositors. There was $4,000 OF
the depositors money in the bank
only $6,572 is left to pay it. The Vir-
GINA Military Institute loses $4,000.
The county treasurer's funds were all
in the bank. The closing of the bank
involves all branches of business, and
viii seriously cripple business there for
some time to come. 1t is believed
that most of the money was lost by
Figgatt in speculations, but it is be-
lieved he took large sum with him.
Steps will be taken to arrest the dis
honest cashier.
President Campbell, of the bank, says
the surety bonds for Cashier Figgatt
will yield, he thinks, about $4,000,
which, if realized, will give depositors
say 65 cents on the dollar The pass
books and certificates of deposits were
called in, and the amounts thus repre-
sented will be far in excess of the led
ger accounts, making the shortage
greater than at first reported. The
failure will fall severely on some of the
best business men there, who were de-
positors and stockholders in the bank
and sureties on the official bond and
indorsers of the private paper of Fig
gait; widows and orphans are left des-
titute; ladies, with their all in bank
stock, are penniless, business men are
without a dollar to meet obligations
and confidence is gone. Many of the
merchants are obliged to enforce strict
ly cash to all. Students of Washing
ton and Lee University with funds in
! the bank have no means to pay ex-
penses. A sad feature Of the crash Is
that much of the stock of the bank was
held by ladies whose only income 1t
was.
