denly at her home in Prince George

THE LATE BASEBALL RIOT.
The accounts sent out 10 Baltimore
and some other cities In reference TO the
alleged mobbing OF the Baltimore team
while here are so greatly exaggerated
and so grotesquely inaccurate as to cause
amazement. not to say Indignation, here.
Not a man of the Baltimore team was
hurt and the grossly obscene language
uttered by one of the Orioles on the
park during the game, caused all OF the
trouble.
In the Mayors Court this morning, Mr..
Charles Sholtc, the second-baseman OF the
Petersburg team, and Messrs. w. T. Hub
bard and w. A. Heath. spectators OF the
game. We're up on the charge of assault
ing players OF the Baltimore team. No
one appeared against them, and they were
discharged. The three members of the
Baltimore club, whom it had been sought
to bring to the bar of the court, both IS
witnesses and as defendants, had left
their team at Norfolk and gone beyond
the Jurisdiction OF the State courts. In
discharging the three men, Mayor Col
lier expressed his regret that none OF
the Baltimore men were present: that,
from his understanding Of the case, Mr..
Sholta had only acted as any. other gen.
tleman would have. and as he the Mayor
would have done under similar circum-
stances.
THE REPUBLICAN GUARDIANSHIP.
The question as TO whether or not Col
onel Lamb will succeed himself as chair
man OF the Republican party in Virginia
excites a good deal of interest in this
section among Republicans. That he
has friends, as well as enemies. admits
of no doubt. General Stith Boiling, whose
name has been mentioned as the probable
successor Of Colonel Lamb. positively de-
MES all inclinations in that direction.
He admits, however. that there Is OPP
position to Colonel Lamb. and OF such
character that the Staunton convention
may overthrow him.
Bishop Van de Nyver has granted
Father O'Farrel a vacation Of two

ferrng the pallium on Archbishop Kahn.
