CENTRAL coLoRED LEAGUE.
The Organization Perfected mt
Meeting Last Night.

The Central Colored League. which was
partially organized a week ago, held a
meeting at Harris's Hall, on north Third
street. last night and completed it's or
ganization.
The constitution and bylaws were
adopted by sections, which took up a
great deal Of the time, and then there
was considerable speech making, which
made the hour Of adjournment quite late.
The attendance. was fairly good. The fol-
lowing directors Of the league were elect
ed: Jackson Ward-HenTy Moore, Nor
ton Deans, Samuel Bacon, and John q.
Smith. Clay Ward-B. c. West and will
liam Spain. Madison Ward-John y. Lewis
and William Costello. Jefferson Ward
A. NJ Burton. Marshall WaTd-Dr. r. S.
Tansil and l.. S. Adams. Monroe Ward
Richard Carter.
About fifty members were enrolled, af-
ter which DR.. r. +. Jones, who is presi-
dent Of the league, made a lengthy state
ment in controversion of an editorial
which recently appeared in one of the
city papers attacking the position taken
in his speech at the organization of the
league last week. The league will meet
again next Wednesday night.
Despite the impression created that the
league is non-political in character, 1t is
certainly believed by many of the mem
bers that it's object is of a political ma
ture. There may be social feature and
the betterment of the condition and gene
raj uplifting of the race may be objects,
but they are intended 10 be obtained by
political methods. That, at least, is the
opinion of the members.

WANT HOME MIGRANTS INCLUDED.
Policemen Suggest an Amendment to
the Tramp Ordinance,

The ranks Of the chain gang have not
been recruited very rapidly, and the
tramp nuisance has not abated one jot
The policemen of the city think that the
measure should have been framed so as
to reach the local as well as the itinerant
vagrant. Captain Whitlock has drawn
up the following petition, which has
been extensively signed, ami submitted
TO the Council:
II earnestly desire, and hereby petition.
that you embOdy in the resolution per-
tanning to the tramp law such wording
that will include the permanent tramps
Of Richmond so as to come within the
meaning Of the law. My reasons are OBJ
yious to all, when I remind you of the
fact that our citizens are being constant
ly annoyed by many who claim to be
residents Of other cities and who are resi-
dents of this city who are chronic beg
gars, and l firmly believe that to include
them will rid our city of a great NUS
ance."

General Manager stevens Absent.

General-Manager Stevens, of the Chesa-
Deake and Ohio, has been away for some
time, not on vacation, but looking after
the business of the road in person. a field
marshal on the ground
Though away from the Office, Mr..
Stevens, who is an old operator. generally
calls up Mr. Spicer, his chief clerk. who
is also an operator. every afternoon, and
receives a detailed statement Of the bust
ness of the day, and issues instructions
regarding matters that are engaging or
will engage the attention of his clerk.
Though Mr.. Stevens is absent Mr. Spicer
is showing things along smoothly. and the
absence of the chief makes no difference
so far as the direction of the roads af-
fairs are concerned.
Mr. Stevens spends a day or two each
week at his summer home, Gleugyle. on
the James river, near Natural Bridge
where Mrs. Stevens and their daughter.

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

That Norfolk team can play ball after
all The seaside lads put up an excellent
game on the Broad-Street Park diamond
yesterday, but they lost. Notwithstanding
their good work. Richmond played her
usual gilt-edge game, and naturally VIC
tory perched on her banner.
The Bluebirds would, however, have
had to do a great deal more hustling than
they did had 1t not have been for the
rank work of Bob Wheelock, Norfolks
erstwhile erudite shortstop. Bob
couldn't stop a grounder, no matter how
slow it came his way, and towards the
last of the game he almost gave up
trying He made pretty one-hand catch
Of a fly from Leahy's bat, but he
lost the game for Norfolk when, in the
fifth inning, he fumbled grounder that
Klopf sent him.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
Two men were out when this misplay
occurred and had the ball been properly
helded Richmond might never have won.
AS 1t was, however, Klopf was permitted
TO reach first with safety, and then Spike
Shannon drove a ball down into deep
centre which put Klopf on third and per-
mitted Spike TO pull up on second. 1t
remained only for Lutenburg TO make
clean hit to score the two runs, and
Richmond's score stood two TO the good
with both runs charged 10 Wheelock.
For five innings the game was nip and
tuck. Norfolk holding her own, notwith-
standing Wheelocks inferior work, and
after the fifth the contest waxed warm.
ALMOST A REDEMPTION.
The visitors tried hard to redeem them
selves, and once, in the seventh, they
almost succeeded, but with two men on
base Dundon came TO the rescue, and
stopping a hot grounder, shut the runs
off by a clever throw to first, which re-
tired the side. Altogether, the game was
exceedingly interesting, but it was in no
wise brilliant, for no plays other than
ordinary ones, were made. The score fol-
lows.

The Boys at Chickamauga De-

FIRE At KIACMAN.
4 Block Of Business Buildings Gone
up In Smoke.


Kingman. Arizona. May IL. - Fire
broke out In the warehouse Of the
White Hills Mining company at 5:W
o'clock today. The wind at the time
was blowing at 90 miles an hour. The
warehouse was along side the freight
tracks of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad.
and about 10 feet from the business
houses on north Railroad street. The
flames from the burning warehouse
shot across this space and set fire TO II
wooden building and the fire spread
east and west along the street consdm-
ing the following business houses: f..
F. ThOmpson's adobe saloon: the Hubbs
house. two story adobe: Hardy Fay. two
story brick: Hubbs 4 Milligan. two
story brick: Crozier 4 McKinzie. adobe
one story: the Kingman house. frame:
George Bowers and George BOnelli's
frame buildings, three Chinese res
taurants and six small buildings.
The loss is estimated at Sl0O.0OO. in
sured for $4,000.
The Lake building, IA fine two story
building Of Winslow brick escaped the
flames. The store of Gaddis q Perry,
although ON fire several times. was
saved.
This the second visit of the fire fiend
to kingman. About ten years ago fire
swept all the buildings from the same
block.
The people of Kingman are of the
kind that are not discouraged by dis
asters Of this kind and the burned dis
rict will be rebuilt.
1t is not known how the fire origi'
mated but it is presumed that a spark
from passing locomotive set the ware
house on fire.
