WORK on THE ROAD SUSPENDED
Details Not Yet Arranged for 1t to
Come To Richmond.

Mr.. W. M. Habliston, president OF the
Citizens Exchange Bank and one Of the
moving spirits in the effort TO bring the
Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina rail-
road to this city, has returned from a
visit to Nashville, Tenn.
As far as the railroad is concerned,
he says. everything is in statu quo. The
work Of construction has been entirely
suspended, even on the line beyond the
twenty-mle limit, which has just been
completed.
Mr.. Habliston does not speak so hope
fully of the prospects Of the road, and
is most reticent. 1t appears to be the
general belief that another factor has
sprung into the path of the Seaboard
Airline and its protege, the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina road. The At
lantic-Coast Line, it is said. is indus
triously at work to hinder the plans Of
the new road. a gentleman who is close
" identified with this last-named cor
poration said yesterday that the Atlantic
Coast Line had even gone so far as TO
purchase property along the river front
so as to prevent the Richmond, Peters
burg and Carolina from entering the city.
An official Of the Coast Line who was APP
preached on the subject ridiculed the
idea. He said it was absurd, because it
would involve the purchase Of miles of
property, and even then the company
that had set its mind on coming here
might tunnel through. The Atlantic
Coast Line was not giving a thought TO
the new road. There would be time
enough TO reckon with opposition when it
was manifested.

The Opening Concert IA Success.

The first entertainment Of the Star
Course was siven last evening at the
Young Mems Christian Association be-
fore a large and appreciative audience,
by the BOstonia SeXtette Club, assisted
by Miss Alice Burns.
This entertainment was indeed musi-
cal feast, and the audience thoroughly
enjoyed each delicious morsel. The pro-
gramrne was an excellently selected one,
and the pieces were well rendered, each
number being given hearty applause.
Miss Burns captivated her audience with
her splendid voice and her rendition OF
Aria from Gounods ia Refine de Saba"
At the conclusion of this the applause
was irresistible, and Miss Burns was
forced TO Teappear, as she was again
after singing her second number. The
seXtette during the evening rendered seve-
raj selections, and were handsomely
rewarded with applause. Mr.. Fries charm
ed his hearers and showed his complete
mastery Of his instrument with cello
solo, and Mr.. Loud rendered his violin
solo, NieuX>empts' "Fantasie Caprice"
with such exquisite expression as TO en-
chant the soul. With his skilled hand
Mr.. Loud made the violin utter from its
throat strains that pleased the ear and
charmed the mind, and spoke with more
eloquence and force than any human
tongue.
The entertainment was prolonged by the
large number of encore calls.

SECOND WEEK OF TIE FAIR.
The Attendance Increasing, and New
Attractions Being Added.

The second week OF Sacred Heart Fair
opened with the largest attendance so far.
The armory was crowded and there was
barely room to move about in. This was
partly due to the large body Of the men,
bers of the McGnl Catholic Union who
were present with President w. e. Pur-
cell. During the progress OF the fair an
excellent musicale was rendered under the
management OF Mr.. j. Louis Sullivan.
During this week the various Catholic or
CARNATIONS will attend the fair, and the
attendance Will doubtless largely exceed
that Of the first week.
The art gallery was opened for the first
time last night, and ii Is safe to say 1t
Is the most unique art collection ever ex-
of 10 cents is charged, but it is well spent
in viewing a collection gotten together
with so much trouble. Those who saw
the gallery last night are enthusiastic In
its praise. and DESTROYS of having all
their friends see IL themselves.
The ladies I'm charge of the various
tables were kept quite busy In attending
TO the wants OF the large crowd OF Vlsl-
tors. In the contest for the Elks' pin,
Mr.. Thomas Boudar leads with Is votes,
Mr.. Rodger Atkinson being close behind
him with 20 votes. For Father OReilly's
picture the McGlll Catholic Union. with
32Ia votes, leads all her sister societies.
For the gold-headed cane, the poll last
night showed: w. j. Doyle, 40 votes;
Joseph Duggan, 8; Joseph Farley, 40, and
III. G. Brauer. IL.
At st. Patrick's table, the vote Cor the

ORANGE AND BLUE FADE.
University of Virginia Beaten by
West virginia University.

CHARLESTON, KANAWIA COUNTY,
w. VA, November 1i.-(Special.) 1.-The
two Virginias contested the strength of
their best football teams on the gridiron
here to-day, and the University Of Vir-
elnia boys were vanquished by the State
University team Of the New Dominion.
The score at the end Of the second half
stood 6 to 0, the Virginia boys falling to
make a touchdown. All Of Charleston's
fashionable folk were out, and 2,OOJ
people witnessed the game. 1t was
interesting throughout, and despite the
fearfully muddy field, both sides made
some good plays. Neither side scored du-
ring the first half, most Of which was
played in the Virginia boys territory. II
seemed from the start that the boys of
West Virginia had an advantage over the
visitors-not in size, but In united strength
and quickness. The University of Virginia
won the toss and defended the west goal.
Up to the second half the game was fast
and furious. The contest was well fought,
and no score was made. Whitman made
the prettiest run of the game, planning
the ball directly beneath the goal posts,
after fifteen minutes of good play. Yea
ger then kicked perfect goal.
The old gold and blue colors predomi-
mated in the crowd, but the University of
Virginia had many friends here who wore
the orange and blue for the visitors. The
championship of the South, after being
held by the University of Virginia for
years, now comes to the West Virginia
hills.

WASHINGTON AND LEE DEFEATED
on THE GRIDIRON HERE.
STRONG GAME BY COLLEGE BOYS.
They Play with a Vim, and Make All
the Points That Are scored-The
sIugging.
sIugging.

The white and blue OF Washington ana
Lee went down before tho orange and
blue Of Richmond College yesterday. af.
ternoon on the grdiron at Broad-Street
Park The contest was lively one from;
beginning to end. The college heroes
outplayed the sturdy long-haired pigskin
kickers from Lexington and won out with
ease, the Washington and Lee lads being
unable TO score a point, while tho local
athletes made ten.
The game on two occasions during its
progress resolved itself into a slugging
match and some fierce lighting was done
by both sides. Fleming, the clever right
guard for Richmond College, was caught
smashing Deacon, of Washington and
Lee, in the face and was put out of the
game, after considerable disorder. Later
on there was a general mix up between
the two teams, which, for awhile, par
took OF the nature Of free fight.
HOW THE PLAY PROGRESSED.
The game consisted of two halves, The
first of twenty minutes duration and the
last of fifteen. Richmond College wor
the toss and kicked on The Washing
ton and Lee lads brought the ball back
some distance, but were unable 10 do
much, and Richmond College, taking thu
aggressive, fought steadily onward until
Mcneil made a touchdown. No goal was
kicked, and the score remained TO in
Richmond's favor.
Washington and Lee made a strcng|
fight TO regain their losses after tbT
play. and once they got the ball 10 withr.
a few feet of the touch line. They diF
not succeed in their efforts TO make a
point, however, and ere they could re-
cover from the check that had Deel
given them by Richmond the first half
ended.
In the second half the struggle was
very much the same as 1t had been in
the first. Landlord, Bloxton, and Nc
Neil did the aggressive work for Rich
mond, and assisted by the other eight
men. forced their way yard by yard
down the field until Bloxton made another
touchdown. Again no goal was scored
so the score was left ten to nothing In
favor of the locals Washington and Lee
tried to make good finish, but they
failed utterly in their effort, and the
game ended without any change being
made in the score.

PLAYED UNDER DISADVANTAGES
The college boys were naturally jubi-
liant over their victory. The fact that
they were beaten by Washington and Lee
at Lexington made them especially anx-
ious to win on the home field.
Manager Farrar, of Washington and
Lee, said last night that while his men
were disappointed at not winning, they
could hardly have expected a different
result, as they were in no condition to
play when they went on the field. eve

JUDGMENT FOR BOTH SIDES.
Judge Bahrs Renders His Decision
in the Wine Makers Suit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22-Superior
Judge Bahrs has decided the suit of
the California Wine Makers CORPORA
ton against the California Wine As
soc1ation, awarding the plaintiff the
amount sued for $50, 0,019-and given
the defendant S130.9S in damages, a
sum which will more than offset the
recovery.
The Wine-makers' corporation COM
menced the action to recover the
amount claimed as payment for wine
delivered to the defendants. The latter
met the suit with a large counter claim.
and asked, in addition, for damages in
the sum of $257 1876 for an alleged
breach of their contract, which called
for the delivery of a certain quantity
of a specific kind of wine, and for GER
tain exclusive privileges as purchas-
ers
The case occupied several months in
trial, and was only recently submitted
to Judge Bahrs for a decision.
The court dealt with the contention
that the contract was void, as it Gre
ated a monopoly, and is in consequence
in restraint of trade. It was held
that monopoly was not created, as
not all or nearly all of the wines Of
any district or community were sought
to be controlled by it's provisions.

MURDER AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Daniel O'Shea Shoots and Kills
Julia Keeley.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22-Daniel
O'Shea, steamship fireman, tonight
shot and killed Julia Kelley, a young
woman employed as a domestic at the
Baldwin Hotel. The shooting oc-
CURED at 1126 Howard street, the young
woman's place of residence
O'Shea has been keeping company
with Miss Keeley for some time He
rented a room at 1126 Howard street
from Mrs. Margaret Monahan, aunt of
Miss Keeley, who called there tonight
about Z o'clock and visited him on the
third floor.
The couple had been together but a
short time when inmates of the house
heard three pistol shots, and rushing
into the Railways, located the shooting
in O'Shea's room. In few moments
O'Shea went downstairs.
I've made a good jot, of it," he was
heard to say. The rope will soon be
around my neck"
OShea made conflicting statements
to the police, but jealousy is supposed
to be responsible for the crime.
Only one bullet struck Miss Kelley.
1t entered her forehead over the left
side of the right eye, emerging from
the back Of the head. Miss Kelley is
given a good character by her en-
ployers.
