LYNoHBURG, Va, July l6.-In the
two games played at the baseball park
this afternoon Lynchburg "broke
even" with Portsmouth. tho visitors
winning the first game and the home
team the second. Neither of the exhl-
bitions was OF extraordinary interest,
and the playing Of both WAS ragged on
the Lynchburg side.
In the second, Portsmouth went all
to pieces, but in the first they played
an errorless game. The local cranks
were disappointed IN the results of tho
day, as it had been hoped TINT two vic
tories would be chalked up to Lynch
hurg's credit.
Clare's pitching was the great stumb-
ling block for the Tobacconists in the
first game. For the second time here
this smiling twirler has held the
Lynchburg batters under control by
his slow, tantalizing curves.
Nevertheless, the home team scored
the inst two runs aud up to the sixth
inning, the visitors had not scored al
all.
Willis was pitching fine game for
Lynchburg. Only nine hits were made
oil him during the whole game. but IN
the sixth aud eighth innings they were
punched on him sufficiently to give
eight runs to the truckers.
In the sixth a bad error by Thomp-
son, followed by some Portsmouth
hitting, gave the latter four runs and
they batted out four more in the
eighth.
In the second game the visitors hi
often enough to win an ordinary game,
but on the part of the locals, every
man that wanted 10 hit did SO pretty
much when and where lie liked.

Mysterious Double Suicide Mt Galesburg.
A man aged about % and woman
somewhat younger arrived at Gales
burg on the 3 q. IN. eastbound train
and went to the Bennett house, where
the man registered as Frank Robbins,
South Haven, but the woman was not
mentioned. The man asked for a
room and gave orders not to be called.
At o'clock in the afternoon the clerk
raped on the door, but received no
response, and at he called again, but
still no reply. An officer was called
and the door forced open. The couple
lay dead in bed, both holding hand
kerchiefs in their hands as though
chloroform had been used. A paper
labeled strychnine lay upon the floor.
One of the mans cuffs bore the name
of Bulge Whitney, and on his arm
were the initials sc. l.. W." These
led to the Identification of the couple,
as the following telegram from Kala-
maZoo shows:
The young man is the son of j. II.
Whitney, superintendent of the Bots
ford Paper mill at Kalamazoo, and the
woman is Lizzie Smith, a notorious
character, who has run a house in the
city for several years. Young Whit
ney left home, his parents not know
ing where he was going. The woman
had recently reformed, it is said, and
was for several weeks past living with
her father. There is no cause known
for the double deed.
