Richmond Shut Out in the Second
Game.

The second game was one OF those
| slow, listless contests in which every
| body on the diamond appeared TO be half
asleep or tired out Lever went In to
| pitch for Richmond, and was given a
| great ovation when he stepped into the
| box. He appeared 10 be in his old-time
| form, but some how or other he couldn't
fool the Norfolkians as successfully as lie
did last year and the result was that he
was pounded somewhat more literally
than had been anticipated.
At that however, he was not hit hard,
and had Richmond been able to hit Staley
at all the five hits secured from Lever
would not have yielded a victory. II was
nip and tuck during the first inning, but
in the second Norfolk worked some clever
base-running, and this. assisted by a gift
from Lever and an error on the part OF
Stocksdale, netted run for the visitors.
From that time on, until the seventh in
ming, the fight waged fiercely. and the
two teams fought vigorously for the SUI
premacy.
TOOK A SAFE LEAD.
In the fifth. however. the accident oc-
CURED which put Hess and Dundon out
Of the game and this somewhat disheart-
ened the other Richmond players, while
it very perceptibiy weakened the home
team. Therefore, In the seventh, the
Norfolk lads, who went in to bat in ear
nest, had all the advantage. They would
have won the game had the accident not
occurred. but they would never have
made the other two runs.
Knox started the fun I'm the seventh
with a two-bagger, and when Weddige
followed with a single Dick coursed over
the, plate Wentz was retired on an easy
one 10 first but In the mix-up Weddige
want IN seconds Then Professor I,eever
almost broke Bergers heart with a crack
In the ribs, and the jolly catcher walked
to first. A hit made by Staley scored We'd
dige, and Berger tried to go TO the rub
Der, but was thrown out at home. This |
ended the run-getting.
RICHMOND'S VAIN EFFORT.
In the succeeding innings Richmond |
tried TO recover and crawl out OF the hole |
she had gotten into. but she was unable |
10 do so, and the game ended with no. |
thing but goose-eggs to the credit of the

of anatomy at the Memphis medical

Mrs. Mary Sanbrink, a widow, and
Friday night lies in a dying condition

revolver to her breast ana sent bullet
through her heart. The cause of the
tragedy is veiled in deepest mystery.

in fact as soon as he was seen by those
who went to his aid, DIR. Rogers blamed
her for the deed. From what can be
gathered in connection with the trag.

The dead woman's clothes were un.

or other evidences that any struggle
at all had occurred prior to the trag-
edy. The right hand of the dead WON.
an was ungloved, showing that she
took ample precaution that the shoot

Mrs. Sanbrink was stylishly dressed.
Every effort has been made by the
police and reporters to discover the
cause for the shooting, hut up to late
hour Friday night the mystery had not
been unraveled. 1t is said that the
woman was infatuated with the physi-
clan and on one occasion had threat

THE NEW YEAR

Begins With Disappointment for specus
lators In Stocks-Failures in 1897 Less
Than In Any Year for the Last Five Years.
New YORK, Jan. S.--R. e. Dun u Co.. 's
Weekly Review of Trade Saturday
says:
In failures 1897 was not only the best
year since 1892, but on the whol, the
best ever definitely known. With 49,
522 failures, in number lis per cent.
less than 1896. and S1s2, ,5s1, III default
ed liabilities, 34.0 per cent. less than in
1896, the years banking failures count.
ed for $2s, ,249, roo and the commercial
failures were but 49, ,351, with liabilities
OF S154,332,071, the average per
failure being only S11.559, the
lowest ever known except in 1892.
But even in that year the failures dur
ing the last half averaged liabilities of
of S10,477 per failure, while in the last
half of 1897 the average was only
$9,593. The returns by branches of
business show that in Is out 2S classes
the failures were lower than in any
previous year of which there is record,
with especially large decrease in the
great number of unclassitied manufac-
turing and trading failures.
The new year began with disappoint-
ment for spectators in stocks and
grain, which is not bad sign. Prices
of stocks have gained little, after
yielding at first and closed 70 cents per
share higher for railroads, and $1O5
per share higher for trusts.
Wheat declined ~ cents owing to
the termination of the corner at Chi
cago, and western receipts were about
double last years, with Atlantic ex-
ports 2,S40,31S bushels, flour included,
against 2, 150,909 last year. A specula-
tive estimate makes the quantity still
in farmers hands 40 per cent. of the
crop, which is quite possible, but the
consumption and exports in half the
year ought to take more than 40 per
cent of the years supply. A fleet of
vessels is reported at Baltimore, or on
the way thither for wheat Exports of
corn for the week fell below last years,
although western receipts are unusu-
ally large, and the price fell but s5 of
a cent. Cotton was disappointment
to many because it did not change at
all in spot price, although the ac-
counts of reduction in wages by New
England works warrant hopes of larger
consumption.
Cotton manufacture is a little en-
couraged by larger demand for goods
since the reduction in prices, and the
abstention of buyers for months past
has been due in large measure to ex-
pectation of that reduction. But with
the certainty that the print cloth
works are to continue prices have
further declined to 2.12 cents. The
woolen and worsted mills are both
buying wool quite largely at prices
probably close to the best,
for reports which declared there were
no concessions a month ago are now
rejoicing that recent raggedness in
