NORWICH TAKES TWO GAMES

 Norwich, July 31-Norwich took both games of a double header to-day from Bridgeport. Plank pitched both games and the hits the visitors secured off him were scattered Murphy pitched well in the first game, although six bases on balls were issued by him, and these, with timely batting, scored the locals runs. Callahan started to pitch the second game, but was put out of the game by the umpire in the third inning for disputing a decision. He had been hit for four singles and a double during this time. Levy relieved him, and, with the exception of the last two innings, pitched winning ball. Ball furnished the only features of the game, making two of the incest running catches seen here this season.

THE NEW RAILROAD
DIR. c. ii. SMITH TELLS TAMPA
TIMES ABOUT IT.

DR.. c. H. Smith went over to
Tampa last week and while there
was interviewed by a represent
alive Of the Daily Times in refer
ence to the electric railway between
Tampa and the east coast now pro-
jected by S. @. Bon Durant and
associates. The Times in speak
ing of the scheme says.
Doctor Smiths interest in the
movement lies in the fact that he
and a number of associates,
through an option, hold in their
hands the key to great motive
power that is in all probability not
equalled in the southern states,
and excelled in few instances in
the world. Among Doctor Smiths
associates in this matter are Col
S. 1. Wales, we'll known through
out the state for his fight before
the recent Legislative session for
the celebrated WALES claim,
and Walter Graham, the well
known real estate man of Arcadia,
who recently embarked extensively
into the real estate business. This
property, in view of the natural
conditions mentioned, is undoubt-
eddy Of greater value than any
other property in Florida. 1t is
located in DeSoto county, about rs
miles east of Arcadia.
"On this property, - said Doctor
Smith to the Times representative,
is a chain of lakes which furnish
motive power sufficient to operate
a line Of railway from 1000 to
| 2, 900 miles in length, and also to
furnish lights for all immense area
of territory without difficulty.
This power Is explained by de-
scription Of natural conditions, as
follows:
The first lake responsible for
the power mentioned is Lake
Childs, which is rectangular in
shape, FIVE miles long and from
three to four miles wide. This
lake is connected with Lake
Stearns,. on the north, by a sub
terranean passage, through which
water pours with immence velocity
and volume. Lake Stearns is, in
turn, connected with Lake Jack OIL
the northeast, with a bold creek,
the waters of which run rapidly,
and Lake Jack is also connected
with Lake Istopoga, many times
the largest of the chain, by
another creek of the same character,
The fall from one lake to another
in one instance is from SO to 65
feet, and in another from rs to 80
feet. In addition to these res
markable facts the lakes never
change their depth and the power,
owing to the flow and topograph-
ical situation, is perpetual. AS
result there can be secured at all
times for the operation of an
electric or other plant from 10000
to rs, 900 horse power. This Is
revelation to those who have
known nothing of the wonderful
situation. The generation Of
electric power for the operation of
plants, according to the estimate Of
authorities, without the assistance
of natural conditions, generally
amounts to 40 per cent of earnings.
Under the conditions described the
cost would be only about IS per
cent, a decrease of rs per cent,
which would mean the annual
saving of an immense sum in the
operation Of the railway

say / did not see a drunk man in
the whole brigade; and to add to
their spoils they had brought In
eight or ten fine hens and had
them stacked up between two
stumps. Such are the evils of war
The next morning our troops
were ordered into lines and moved
forward to meet portion Of
Sherman's army that was adj
vancing on rs. Here once more
we met the enemy, face to face, in
open combat. The engagement
was short but hot what time it
lasted. When Sherman's men
learned they were confronting Joe
johnson instead Of Hood they fell
back in disorder leaving General
Johnson and his army in possession
Of the battlefield.
After leaving our dead and
placing our wounded in comfort
able quarters we resumed our
march. A report was now in
circulation that General Lee had
surrendered; although it was a
mere rumor it caused considerable
confusion throughout our army.
Small groups of soldiers could be
seen silently discussing the question
some disputing it while others
believed the report to be true.
One evening we struck camp
near Greensboro, N. c. with
strict orders to be ready to march
at sunrise next morning. When
the hour arrived we saw no prepar-
atoms to move. Expecting every
moment to receive marching orders
we remained here several days.
We could plainly see there was a
move on foot that we could not
understand, groups of field officers
holding secret sessions, which kept
us under heavy suspense Finally
one night about seventy-hve Of
our regiment marched up to
division headquarters and called
on General Smith who was then in
command of our division, for
speech. He treated us very
politely and addressed us, Fellow
soldiers, / learn there is a rumor
in camps that General Johnson is
going to surrender his army.
Don't you believe a word of that,
General Johnson IS too brave a
man to submit to a surrender.
He would draw his sword and cut
his way out if 1t was knee deep in
blood. Go back to your camps
assured that the rumor is false. >
This report did not exactly suit us.
We marched on short distance to
General Cheatham s headquarters,
commanding Second corps, and
called for a speech. The speech
from General Cheatham was heard
from all parts Of our line The
General politely stepped to the
door Of his tent and remarked to
lis, Gentlemen you have called
OH me for a speech. ! never made
speech in my life, I can tell

ali be on your way home pretty
