THE CAPTAIN.

Howard Fletcher will have the respon-
sibility Of captaining the team. He will
play right field, where he already has
an established reputation. He is a safe.
hard hitter, swift base-runner. and a
smart chap at cutting off right-field base
hits.
r. d. Merritt, of Norfolk, will play
short again. Every ball-player in the
State knows Dan. He showed up In great
shape last summer on the Norfolk Col
lege-boys' team. He Is also a good man
with the ash.
C. NJ. Kilby. of Suffolk, has liking
for both third base and catch. He will
do well at either place. but he will pro-
badly be put behind Fletcher He can
throw to second with great ease and pre-
cision, besides taking kindly to stick
work.
Il. NJ. Allen. of Fincastle, Is the heavy
weight of the team He Is quite sure to
hold Robinson. Allen is a left-hander.
and has shown up superbly behind the
BAT. 1t is no effort for him to throw ac-
curately TO second; he likewise knows
how to punch the ball.
]. II. Poindexter, OF Bellview, Va, and
w. S. Brown, Of Ashland. are both after
first base. They are good men, and have
plenty OF grit. The former is the better
batter. while Brown Is quicker on the
base.
8. II. Beckley, Of Fincastle. Is a good
fielder. both In and out. He knows how
to go after and stop hot grounders.
Drury Kerr. OF Ashland, has often
played short-stop. He knows his work,
and wishes chance to let the public
judge for themselves. He Is far above the
average at the bat ft-
Warheld. White, Cooper, Diel, Kern.
Bob Whitehead. and Jordan are also on
the field every afternoon. In the last
bunch may be found plenty OF hot stun,
and ere the season is over they may make
regulations for themselves.

MOTION OvERRULED.
Judge McCOmas Denies the District n
New Trial.


New Trial.
In the case Uf Edwin N. Gray against the
District, in which Mr. Gray, several days
ago, recovered judgment Of $4,000. Judge
McComas has overruled the Districts mo-
ton for a new trial. The trial before
Judge McComas was the third one, the
previous trials having taken place before
Judge Montgomery ard Judge Bradley,
and in those trials Mr.. Gray was success
full, recovering judgments of S,1G3 and
s., 500. respectively. The first judgment was
set aside by the Court of Appeals, and the
second one was set aside by Judge Bradley.
In the summer Of 1889 Mr. Gfay's foun-
damaged by the overf1owing of the Tiber
creek sewer. 1t was the year OF the Johns
town flood and a season of unusually
heavy rainfalls. Mr.. Gray Instituted suit
against the District, asking damages to the
amount of $4,000 He claimed that the
flooding of his foundry was due to the
faulty construction Of the sewer, and be-
cause it had been allowed to become greatly
choked up by sand and filth. That was de-
MED by the District whose counsel
Messrs. S. T. Thomas and A. B. Duval,
contended that the flooding Of the sewer
was due to the act of God-that Is, to the
unusual heavy rainfalls.
Mr. Grays counsel, Messrs. Jere NJ. Will
son and Randall Hagner, were successful
in their contention, and Judge McComas,
in overruling the motion for new trial.

jures had decided against the District 1t
is understood that the District will carry
the case to the Court of Appeals.

He Shows the Need of a New Govern
msnt Printing Office.
THE PRESENT Site RECOMMENDED
Reasons Why It Should Be Pre-
fened to Others.
ECONOMY OFTIME AND MONEY

There are Indications that the subject of
a site for new printing office Is becoming
a most important issue in both houses of
Congress- and the chances are that If a
vote should be reached on the subject at
any time this session the lines formed. es-
pecially in the Senate. at the time of the
last effort to secure action will be found to
have changed greatly. There is no dispo-
sition on the part of those Senators who
believe that there is immediate necessity
for a new building to surrender to the in
sistent claims of the Malone site people,
who have so stubbornly asserted that no
ground would ever be chosen if their land
could not be bought
One of the most earnest advocates of a
new structure is Senator Gallinger OF New
Hampshire always a friend of the District
and especially interested in this matter. be-
cause of his former acquaintance with the
printing business. He has graduated from
the case and since his association with
Congress in both houses he has been deeply
Interested in the government office, having
been a member of the committees on print
ing-at both ends of the Capitol Indeed. 1t
Is expected that. If the republicans should
succeed in reorsanizing the Senate commit
tees he will be made chairman on the COM
mittee on printing. He was a member OF
that committee when Mr.. Henderson was

q large part of the structure is absolutely
ffre-procf and safe in every respect, COM
prising over 10000 square feet of floor
space. and entirely separated from the I'M
safe portion of the buildings. In these
buildings are situated a complete steam
power plant of several hundred horse
power. a perfect electric light plant, the
best equipped electrotype foundry in the
world. machine shops, paper warerooms,
vaults for the storage of plates, SC, all OF
modern construction. and adequate to the
needs of the office for many years. They
are as good as could be built elsewhere a
moderate estimate of the cost of duplicat-
ing which would be rather over than below
$sJO.oOO. In addition TO that, Congress at
its last session appropriated $4,000 to I'M
prove the safety of the building. This
amount. under the wisdom OF the public
printer and Col. Wilson. superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, Is being ex-
pended at the present time in adding an
additional story to the fire-proof portion of
the structure, making IL iive stories high.
and adding about 1t.uS square feet of
floor space, making a total OF over 5000
square feet of floor space in the fire-proof
portion OF the building. Is IL good business
sense to abandon ali this property. suit
able In every way to the needs of the office,
and go elsewhere. especially TO q remote
and Inaccessible location. and replace it at
a cost of over half million dollars. to say
nothing of the value OF the other improve
ments which would be rendered worthless
"A still more pregnant factor in the prob
lem Is the difference In time IL will take to
get relief from the present condition. By
adopting the plan of adding to the present
site eight or nine months will suffice to
get everything in good working order.

ahIe statistics the Armenians living in
Turkey are a little over 100000, of whom
oOO OOO are established in Constantinople
itself.
..Thosa of the Armenians who reside In
the provinces are distributed all over the
country. so that nowhere do they consti-
tute the majority of the population. The
fact acknowledged even by Turkeys de-
tractors that the Ottoman Armenfans have
schools and a literature not only proves
that they are not exposed to veXatious
treatment, but that on the contrary the
Turkish government favors their inStitu-
tions wishes them to preserve their Ian
guage and nationality, and has secured
their well-being."
