did NOT think his residence outside of
Richmond should be used against him,
and he desired to go back to Congress
that he might continue to serve all his
people alike.
He had been for forty years in the
Democratic harness, ana could REFER " IL
with innpunity.
HE appealed to his hearers to conquer
their prejudices of 1896, if there should
be any. and to line up behind him and let
his opponent wait for a time to have
this ambition satisfied.
A SERIOUS MATTER.
CAPTAIN Lamb was roundly applauded
and Mr. Wallace came forward to reply.

CONGRESSMAN again Of the Chesterfield
episode and he said that neither he nor
the people who had heard the charge

had secured the appropriation for Ricn-
rond College and the purchase OF the
Shafer Building as a postotfice site. He

tain his contention and then returned 10

wien in referring to- the price OF the
candidates hats. which was in contro-
versy, Mr.. Wallace said it was not so

as what he carried under it.
WANTED A CLEAR TITLE
When referring to Captain Lambs re-
ply on the subject of spending money in
the campaign, Mr.. Wallace characterized
i. as a miserab bic subrerfuge. and de-
clared that man could control his
friends in such matters. For his own
part he wanted nc purchased vote. and
if he should go to Congress as the result
of corruption and machine politics he
would feel that his hands were eternally
stained.
Mr. Wallace was loudly cheered as ne
concluded his remarks with the assur-
ance that he felt confident of victory.
Much interest was maifested through
out the meeting and the voters listened pa
tiently to all the speakers.

A SHOWER OF FROGS
They Fell in Shower of Rain at West
hampton Park.


Westanpton Park enjoys the honor of
having the most remarkable shower that
ever happened in this State. SO far as the
records show. This was a shower of tiny
frogs which fell on Sunday afternoon
during the storm which began about fire
O'Clock. Thousands and tens Of thousands
of the small hoppcrs fell, this record far
exceeding those of other cities where red
snow has been known to fall and small
fish have tumbled down out of the sky.
Chicago had the honor of having
red snow. and in one or two places IN
the United States small fish have been
known to fall. but this is the first time in
Virginia. so far as known. that a shower
of frogs has come down with the rain.
It is explained in lots of ways, the SIM
plest of these being an insinuation by
sceptics that the persons who saw the
frogs only think they saw them. Still.
the fact remains that there was froE
spattered all over the universe, caught
on TOD and inside of umbrellas.
Manager Thomas. of the park. was
sprinting for life in order to get out of
the rain. when he noticed the ground was
being pelted with small moving objects.
Then he lost his nerve and stopped to
see what was do G. He investigated
for a moment and saw the small black
spots were frogs.
Great Scott: / never had tnem that
bad before" he remarked, and he re-
sumed his running.
Many persons at the park picked up
one or more of the little frogs and
brought them into the city in small boxes
and in paper sacks, just to show that
there had been a shower of frogs. and
meanwhile Manager Thomas says:
I'VE don't mind rain. YOU know, but
when it comes to pouring down frogs it
seems to me that it is about time to make
a protest to somebody. know they
were frogs. because it was certainly
dry Sunday"

West End Park Directors Will Respect
Public Sentiment.

The Board of Directors of the West-End
Park met Saturday and a resolution was
Introduced providing for the opening, of
the amusement enterprises on Sunday;
1t was voted down on the ground that
the company could better afford to lose
the few hundred dollars that the opening
of the resort might bring each week than
to offend public sentiment in the com
munity which is believed to be unalter-
ably opposed TO the defiance of the Sun
day law
II was suggested that as other resorts
notably Ocean View, irginia Beach, Old
Point and the rest, are allowed to run
in full blast on Sunday. the West-End
Park Company might make a test case
ing any prosecution in the courts.
Only one member of the board was in
favor OF this step, and the resort will
therefore be kept closed in future. eX-

of the water he venturcd in and was
washed some distance down the stream
with horse and wagon. But for the

IN HENRlCO COUNTY
AS early as 6 o'clock yesterday even
ing creeks in Henrico county We're higher
than they had been during the past ten
years. The unusually heavy and STEADY
downpour of rain put everything up IN
an extremely short time and gave iHolca-
ton that if it kept on serious damage
might result.
While on his way from his home, near
Oakwood to the Court House Deputy
Voegler had to stop and wait for the
water to subsde before he could cross
a little stream which ordinarily can be
stepped over. Similar conditions pre-
vailed elsewhere. Two negro men, VINO
had been in the neighborfood of Green
wood Cemetery. just beyond Oakwood, said
yesterday afternoon that they had left
those parts for fear that the bridge
spanning the creek there would be washed
away before they could get over When
they passed the water was within FOOT
of the planki1g.
The bridge over Stony Run Creek, on
the Nine Mile Road. was washed away
and people travelling along this rout had
to wait for some time for the waters to
subside
T rain will have a highly beneficial
effect upon Henrico crops, which have
suffered considerably on account of
drought Henrico farmers. like many
others, have felt the full force OF the
heat waves and will gladly welcome the
