Will Begin Tomorrow.

The play in the mems championship SIN
giles will be commenced at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, and will continue every
day. commencing at that hour, except May
30, Decoration day, when the play will be-
gin at 10 o'clock. Formerly the officials
were very lenient to players who came late
for their games, thus delaying the play
greatly and spelling the sport for the spec
tators. 1t has been determined this year
to be more strict, and the rule has been
made that when a player is not on hand
when his game is called the game will be
defaulted against the absent player.
The entries for the womenS championship
singles viii be received up to O'Clock to-
morrow. Shortly after that time the draw
ings will be held. The entries for this
event which have already been received
are: Miss Julia Goldsborough. Miss Agnes
Harvey, Mrs j. j. Morrow. Miss Ethel NJ
Smith, Miss Eta Spurgin, Mrs. M. Walker,
Miss Marie Winner Miss Woodward. Sew
eral more women are expected to try for
championship honorS, and their entries will
probably be sent in on Monday. Miss Car
RE b. Nicely is the present champion and
holder of the challenge trophy, and she
will be required to defend her title and
prize against the winner of the tourna-
ment. The match should prove an exciting
one.
The club officers are planning to provide
good sport for their guests on this occa-
sion. Mr. Eugene d. CaruSi, the we'll
known lawn tennis expert, will act as ref
cree of the tournament.

Possession of the Trophy.

Upon the result Of this tournament too.
depends much the permanent possession of
the challenge trophy cup. presented by the
Bachelor Lawn Tennis Club. and contested
for for the past thirteen years. The large
number of names of winners, engraved on
the cup, makes its permanent possession
especially an honor. outside. of the fact
that the tournament must be won three
times by the same person, to give him
permanent possession. Three of the con-
testants in the present tournament, ]. p.
Paret, J. c. Davidson and Ray Little have
been holders of the cup twice, and another
win for any one OF the three means that he
obtains permanent possession. The rival
ry for this honor is especially keen. and it
will mean determined. hard playing on the
part of all these. Besides, there are al
ways to be considered aspirants for
lawn tennis honors who will give the form
Ell champions close runs.
In addition to the challenge trophies in the
mems and womens championship singles,
first and second prizes will be awarded in
each of the four events and consolation
prizes will be given in the mems and
women's singles. The consultations will be
open to all contestants defeated in their
first match actually played. These prizes
are especially fine, and are on exhibition
at the store of Berry & Whitmore.

The Experts.


The result of these drawings is such as to
keep all the good men in the tournament
until the close; and it is certain that two
experts will be matched in the finals, in
surfing great contest at the end In the
first half are ]. p. Paret, twice the winner
of the tournament; ]. c. Davidson, who
also has received the laurel wreath twice
and G. p. Parks. a runner-up in former
tournament. In both Mr.. Paret and Mr.
Davidson. win every game they cannot
meet until the semi-finals, thus keeping
both of these fine players in the game In
the second half are Ray Little, who on two
occasions was the tournament winner;
Franklin Geoghegan. the local player who
captured first honors once, and DR.. Glaze
brook, who has been prominent in former
tournaments. Little and Geoghegan will
probably meet in the second round, and the
winner of that match will then probably
meet DR.. GlaZebrook in the semi-finals.
Thus the drawings insure an exciting con-
test in each of the halves, such as will sus-
tain the keenest interest to the very end.
The number of entries-34-is about the
largest ever had in these championship
games, and indicates a growing interest in
the game itself and In the honor given by
this tournament.

RICHARDS'S TRIAL.

The trial at Floyd Courthouse of John
Richards, the young University of Vir-
GINA law student, for the murder OF
Maurice Francis, his rival, who was
killed in a Floyd county road while
driving in buggy to visit Miss Oracle
Link, to whom he was engaged to be
married, was resumed yesterday. The
courtroom was crowded.
Some 35 out of the 100 witnesses for
the Commonwealth have been examined.
A chain of strong circumstantial evil
dence is being woven around the young
prisoner. One witness has positively
identified Richards as the man in dis
guise. He went after him to ascertain
who he was, and says positively that 1t
was Richards.
Another places the disguised man on
the very spot where Maurice Francis
was killed, and says that when he was
approaching the man ran into the bushes.
Other witnesses say they saw Richards
near the spot, sitting on log, and one
saw him on the fence with a shotgun on
his lap. Others testified that disguised
man was seen going toward the point
where Francis was killed on the day OF
the shooting with double-barreled gun.
w. II. Ferris testified that he saw a
man with a false mustache running
through his field on the evening of the
shootin, going in the direction of Rich
ards home.
James Colling said he found the bot
tie of oiled shot where Francis was killed.
The bottle was produced. Several other
witnesses were introduced to prove that
Richards had a similar bottle and that he
oiled his shot, giving as reason that it
"kept them from spreading"
DR.. Thomas, the physician who at
tended Maurice Francis; stated that
death was due to a gunshOt wound. The
doctor was also examined by the defense
as TO the dying declaration of Francis, as
was proved yesterday by other witnesses.
He said that Francis stated to him sew
eral hours afterward that he did not see
who shot him, it was so quick, like a
fash of lightning to him. Francis after
ward said before dying, and while in a
semi-conscous condition, though period
ically rational, that he thought Richards
shot him, as he was jealous.
This testimony was weakened by the
dying declaration and is the first material
point scored by the defense.

TOday's Telegraphic News
Terrific Storm.


Buffalo. n. Y, Oct 20.-At one
o'clock this morning terrific rain and
wind storm, accompanied by vicious
bolts of lighting, broke over this city.
Large plate glass fronts in several stores
and salesrooms were blown in and IN
some instances merchandise was picked
up by the wind and scattered over the
streets. A cigar store at Main and
South Division streets was badly wreck
ed. The wind blew in the front and
carried cigars and tobacco packages sew
eral blocks away. The front of the
Pierce automobile salesroom was crushed
and the stock was deluged with water.
Trees were blown down in the parks and
streets, as we're also telegraph and tele-
phone wires. 1t is estimated the
wind travelled at about sixty miles an
hour. At nine O'Clock its speed had
not subsidized. Harbor men believe
part of the breakwater wall of the lake
front has been washed away by the huge
waves, which the wind dashes against
the piles of stone. No tug or craft OF
any kind can reach the wall, even inside
the harbor, by reason OF the heavy sea,
and conclusion can only be reached by
the view from shore. Up to 10 o'clock
there had been no news of disaster to
craft on the lake at this port. No boats
went out last night, owing to warnings OF
approaching bad weather.
Two barges. the Unadilla, and the
Sweetheart, with their crews, are adritt
in Lake Erie, three miles of this port.
Tugs have gone to the rescue OF the
barges and the men on them. A terrific
storm is visible from the harbor and the
crews are in great danger of being lost.
The barges were in tow of the steamer
Priukel, which arrived here at IL
O'Clock, and reported their loss by the
parting of the tow line.
One of the barges turned over on its
side Just before noon, and spilled its car
90 into the lake. A tug reached both
barges and they are now safely in port,
with their crews. Two vessels are ashore
at the head of Niagara river on the
| Canadian side.
Erie, Pa, Oct. 20.--The vessels at
this harbor were notified yesterday after
noon of the approaching storm and all
remained in port. The storm which
struck Erie about 2 O'Clock this morn
ing was severe, but the life saving station
reports that there we're no disasters or
calls for assistance. A number of boats
passed here bound up the lake this
morning.
Lorain, O., Oct 2O.-The little
freighter Wisconsin and the wooden
steamer Sarah f.. Sheldon are ashore at
this port, and because of The fury OF the
storm raging no effort has been made to
get them off. The Sheldon. it is feared,
will pound herself to pieces in the shall
low water. Tugs went to her rescue,
but could not get close enough to take
of the crew of 20.

Second Trial.

Constantinople, Oct. 2O.-A second
trial of the members of the Armenian
committee implicated in the recent muir
der of a rich Armenian merchant named
INDIAN, was held in the criminal court
yesterday under instructions from the
Porte, without warning being given to
the American legation which had in
terested itself in the cases on the ground
that two of the prisoners claimed to be
American citizens. Ghirkis Vartanian,
who claims to have become a naturalized
citizen of the United States, was con-
demned to death, and Alfarian, his al
legged accomplice, was sentenced to fifteen
years at hard labor. Vartanian pleaded
that he was ordered to commit the muir
der by the Armenian committee and had
no recourse but to obey.
