A BRAKEMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED.
RELY Wood, of the G. and d.
struck by a Projecting Timber.

Rely Wood, brakeman on the James
River Division of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway, was seriously and. per-
haps fatally, injured yesterday short
while after midday at Sixth and Byrd
streets.
Just at this point the Richmond, Frede-
ricksburg and Potomac railroad trestle
crosses the Chesapeake and Ohio road.
The brakeman was on his car at his post,
but as his train passed under the trestle-
work. a projecting timber struck him In
the side, throwing him TO the ground.
The train was not running rapidly. ard,
fortunately, the fall did not increase his
injuries, which already were bad enough.
The ambulance, with DR.. Nuckols In
charge. was hastily called, and upon ar
riving the physician ascertained that the
force OF the blow had broken one Of the
trainman's ribs, and that a part OF the
splintered bone had forced its way into
the lungs.
This the Doctor readily recognized
very serious injury, and Mr.. Wood was
removed TO his home, No. 3lS east Cary
street. with the least possible delay. and
the family physician, DR.. HIllsman, sum-
moned. One Of the physicians who saw
him said last night that while his injury
was very serious, II would not necessarily
result fatally.

AN HONORABLE RECORD.
Rev. Dr. L. II. Shuck conducted 1t last
year and though he has arranged to take
another school. there is a likelihood that
he will be secured TO run ii the coming
session.
The institution has an excellent record.
1t was established forty years ago, ana
had as its first president the late Pro-
fessor John Hart. Professor Croiford H.
IVY. now of the Cambridge University
was then a member of the faculty.
1t is the purpose of the trustees TO
conduct the school along denominational
lines and to keep it up to the high
standard that it has always maintained.
With this end in view they purpose COM
mencing at once to raise the $4,000 neces-
sarv to secure the like sum from Mr..
Rawlings. and this DR.. Dickinson said
last night, he thought could be done with
little trouble.

Richmond's bail team is not in such
fine feather now. as it was on Saturday.
The Glorious Fourth proved not so glori-
Gus TO the lads who constitute the team
rs they had anticipated, and instead OF
celebrating Independence-Day with VIC
tory. such as was achieved by their fore
fathers. the Johnnies fought a losing
battle. and were twice defeated by the
Lancaster hard-hitters.
Richmond had every announcement TO
win Yesterday for the largest crowds that
ever assembled on a baseball field in this
CITY gathered to see Jake Wells and his
lads contest for honors with the Lancas-
teriaps. Every true lover Of the sport
in Richmond saw one or both of the
games Yesterday, and they did everything
that I'm their power lay to urge The local
team on to victory Twas all in Vain'
however; the Johnnies were outclassed by
tbo Pennsylvania lads, and they couldn't
win.
The morning game was called at 1O:3O
o'clock. and $3.50 were seated in the grand
stand or on the bleacheries, their ap-
petites Whctted LOT NiStOiS' '""F

LANCASTER WINS THE FIRST.
SUPERIOR and Helpful batting Gives
Them the Victory.

More than 1900 people saw the hrst
game. and sat by while Lancaster ad-
ininistered a drubbing 10 the locals The
contest was exciting and intensely in
teresting throughout, the result being in
doubt from the moment that the first
man approached the rubber until the last
man was out in the ninth inning.
Umpire Burns was too unwell to Off
cIate ia the morning, and Elem, Phillips
was substituted. The Lancasterians
kicked strenuously against him. at one
time refusing to play unless one of their
players was allowed to umpire. They
were molnhed. and the game was pro-
ceeded with but the kick had its effect
upon Phillips. who, in his eagerness TO
show his impartiality, overdid the thing
and roasted the home team rather Sc
Verey No one imagined that he did so
intentionally, but the fact remains
nevertheless. and Richmond's defeat was
largely due TO this.
OUTBATTED THE LOCALS.
The local lads made an abundance OF
errors, but. as a rule. these errors were
not at an disastrous. and indeed the
Johnnies outplayed Lancaster The visi-
tors. however. outbatted Richmond, and
thereby hangs a tale. Lever was in
o. twirl for Richmond. and West manipu-
lated the sphere for Lancaster. West
was decidedly the most effective Of the
Two. though Lever really pitched a
good game.
For eight innings the two teams played
seesaw game. the lead going first TO
Richmond and then 70 Lancaster. At no
stage until the eighth was either club
more than one run ahead. and in the
Eighth Richmond was the leader. The
Lancasterians got 70 work on Leever
when they came 10 the bat, and with
lhree hits. and errors by Foster and Har-
grove they succeeded In getting three
runners over the plate and took lead
or lwo which Richmond was unable to
