Though 1t may be considered

American game will be glad to
know that a movement has already
been begun to better the conditions
of the game In this section of the
country and that Sistersville Is Ger
tain to see a very good article of
base ball next season.
A meeting was held at Clarks-
burg a few days ago, at which the
men from different cities that have
a live base ball interest, were pres
ent and at which plans for a
successful season Of 1903 were
laid. The cities represented
were GAINESVILLE, Marietta and
Cambridge. o, Sistersville. Clarks-
burg, Fairmont and Parkersburg,
West Virginia. With one more city
to make an even eight, 1t would be
hard to find a better circuit for a
minor league In this part OF the
country. All the cities enumerated
above are capable of supporting
and have supported excellent
teams under more adverse circum.
stances that the proposed league
would admit of. During the win
ter the complete plans will be
formed and by the time for spring
practice 1t is believed that a we'll or
ganized league will be ready to
open the season.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 10
Captain Lamb called on the Su-
pervising Architect of the Treasury to-
day in response to an invitation to con-
fer in regard to the post-offce at Rich
mond AS a result of the visit Captain
Lamb has decided to present a bill to
Congress asking for an appropriation for
a public building at Richmond that will
be in keeping with the growth of the city.
The Supervising Architect reports the
present building cralnped and the post
office in need Of more room. 1t is we'll
known that the officials in the custom
house. the officials of the Federal courts,
and the Federal judges themselves have
all remarked upon the need of better

Capt. Lamb thinks it advisable to aban-
don the proposed plan of building an addl-
ton to the present post-office building. In
place of this he will ask that there be rent
ed quarters sufficient for the present needs
of the post-office, and that the S2o,oOo
that would be spent upon an addltlon be
contained in the appropriation for the
new building.

Counties in Litigation--An
Old Grant Revived,
(sncctsl Dispatch to The Times. }

ONANCOCK, VA, Jan. 10.-Accomac
County Court has been in session several
days, The case of Walsh VS.. Bowden,
for trespass, was not tried, the counsel
for plaintiff having entered nolie pros
The case came up on appeal from
magistrate, Walsh having had BoWdeE
arrested for taking oysters from grounds
contiguous to his farm. The first land
grants entered in the county, in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
under the old English regime, generally
egave the Atlantic Ocean as the eastern
boundary Of the seaside farms. The in
tervening space of water, marsh and
beach runs from two miles in width to
eight miles. and has been always used
by the citizens Of the State in common
for oystering and cunning. Mr.. Walsh
now claims exclusive rights under the
old patent, and is endeavoring to en-
force them. In his case about three
thousand acres of marsh and oyster
grounds are involved, and the develop
ment of the oyster business on the sea-
side has made the lands of great value.
Very many of the seaside farms, in
Acconac and Northampton counties have
the same legal status, hence the almost
universal interest felt in the question OF
whether the old English grants of the
Atlantic Ocean as the boundery still hold
good. The course of Mr.. Walsh'S attor-
ney is thought by some to he an aban-
donment of the claim and by others to
be preliminary to action in higher
court.

FINE WRAPPERS
ARE GROWN HERE
All Necessary of a Grade Second to
None Can be Raised in
This Country.
(By Associated Press. )

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1o.-At the
Cabinet meeting to-day Secretary VIII
son explained what had been done by his
department in the way of experiments in
raising tobacco. He stated that it had
been fully demonstrated that we could
raise in this country all the wrapper to-
bacco necessary for domestic uses of a
quality, second to none. In every par
ticular, twas as fine as could be grown
in Cuba or any other country.
Last year ten acres of filler tobacco
had been successfniiy raised in Penn
sylvania of avery high grade, and dur
ing the coming season, extensive eN-
periments would be made in raising high
grade filler in Ohio, Texas, North Caro-
lima and California. Last wear the inn
ports of wrapper tobacco into the United
States amounted to 100000, and of filler
S., 000 000 In a short time. the secre-
tary said we would be able to supply
our own wrapper and filler of grade
that would challenge the best grown
anywhere in the world.

talked over and it is understood that the
only one decided upon was that of Mr..

SENDS AN INSULT
TO PRESIDENT
Card With Obscene Inscription Mailed
to Mr.. Roosevelt From
Richmond.

President Roosevelt has been offered
gross insult by. some Richmond man or
youth. 1t could not have been a very
small boy, because the act was evidently
premeditated and shrewdly carried out.
rres.aenls of the United States, and the
heads of other nations have been i'm
peached. dethroned and aIsSaSsinated, but
perhaps never before in the history of
civil government has the ruler of a great
civilized and refined nation been more
Vilely insuited. And it was done, too,
through the public mali.
Every effort is being made to catch the
offender and there is no shadow of a
doubt that if he is apprehended, he will
be severely punished.
A short time ago one of the druggists
of the city had some pictures printed
advertising pills that he had made. The
picture was of a negro boy standing on
his head on the pill box. And then
some one took one of these pictures, and.
making as gross an inscription on it as
it was possible to conceive mailed it to
the President No handwriting appeared
on the picture, or on the envelope The
offender was too sharp and calculating
for that He had the card and the en-
velopo printed. Only the. postmarlS show
ed that it went from Richmond. This is
the only clue that the detectives have.
But they are working here for all they
are able. They have assured themselves,
of course that no one at the drug store
and no one at the engraver's, where the
cut was made, is responsible. The effort
thew are making now Is to find in the
city similar type to that used on the
card and envelope.
1t is likely that the guilty one is be-
ing closely shadowed. and 1t would not be
surprising il an arrest Is made to-day
or tomorrow.
The fine for sending obscene matter
through the mails is very heavy and in
the discretion of the court. imprison-
ment.

BoYDToN, VA, Jan. 1o--The remains
OF Henderson Walker (colored) reached
here Yesterday from Newark. N. d.
where Walker was foully murdered oy
a ycung negro woman named Mary Boyd.
Both of the parties were born and raised
in Mecklenburg, and belong to very re-
spectacle colored families.
HORRIBLE CRIME.
The circumstances connected with the
killing are horrible in the extreme. The
young man was lying asleep when Mary
Boyd dealt him five blows with a hatchet,
crushing in his brain.
The cause of the tragedy was jealousy.
Walker served a. term in the United
States army, and had but recently been
discharged from service. The first inti-
nation his family had of his murder was
when his dead body reached here yester-
day.
REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.
Another circumstance gives additional
interest to the tragedy, which is that
Walkers mother had dream a few
years since that ono of her sons would
be drowned, and in q. short time this
same son of whom she dreamed was
drowned. Some ten or twelve days since
the mother had another dream, which
was that the body of this son, now dead
mad been shipped home to her. So i'm
pressed was She with the dream tha;
she Immediately wrote to her son. tell
ing him of the dream and begging him
to leave the place of his residence, as
she feared for his life.

letter. and believing. he was about to
