Reeves Selection Popular.

The selection OF Reeve for manager
and captain, although 1t may not be
permanent. will no doubt be popular
one with the Richmond public. Reeve
has the name Of being as gentlemanly
n player as8ever wore @ suit in this
league. He Is well-liked by his team
mates and always carries himself In the
same dignltled manner, both on and or
the field. His playing Is always the
same. He folds we'll Is a. consistent
hitter. and q fast man on the bases.
From his place at shortstop he Is IN
a good position to direct his team
mates, and II he makes as good an i'm
preston as manager as he has done
as q player, 1t should oVerhalance tho
only thing against hinl--his youth
fulness---and he should make good.
George Cowan ut First.
George Cowan will take Skaters
place on first base, and with regular
work at this corner should soon boz
come accllmated to the place and make
good. He Is not new In this place,
having played there before he came
to Richmond, and 1t Is to be hoped
that "Scrap-Iron George" as he is
sometimes called, will make as good
a first-basemaE as he has q catcher
and pinch hitter.
For short time, Walsh will do all
the work behind tho bat, It Is Mr..
Bradley Intention to land another
catcher at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but. this can hardly. be acconl-
plished before Some time next week,
Manager sllaffer Will. be on the
bench again to-day. whenhe will direct
from this place Of vantage the Rich
mond team for the last time as he has
made arrangements to leave for his
new post either Sunday night or early
Monday morning. He and his wife
will go from here to New York. His
wife will stop at Helena, Mont, which
Is her home, While Shnffer will go on
to complete arrangements In Seattle.

After tying the score In the last half
OF the sixth on a base on balls, an
error and three timely singles. and
arousing the spectators to the highcst
pitch OF enthusiasm, Subway Smith,
who twirlcd his first gamo for the

these three singles which the Colts
got OF him, Willie WAS found for but
one other, threc-bagger by siebrie,
which came in the NTH with no one
down. Gettig. Cowan and Walsh. how
ever, were easy outs, and failed to
bring Siebrie home.
Smith Was Wild.
Smith was wild at times, and was
touched up rather freely; but even at
i. that his work could not have been
condemned so strongly had IT not been
for that unfortunate wild heave In the
tenth.
In the first place, he should have
thrown to second. TOR Hessler was

pitcher turned towards that bag.

feet or more from second and handi-
capped by having q bad leg.
Walsh's throwing was all that
could he desired. He caught one man
trying to steal second. one was caught
mapping off third, and It was chiefly
Il his true throw to second to draw Nor
rison home that made the play SUCCESS
full.
Roanoke's first two runs were pure
: luck. which was aided slightly By a
timely hit. Clayton had singled and
gone to second. when Clarke followed
suit. Fish then sacrificed each run

discrimination of the scores of tho games

Council Bluffs, Dec. 12.-An une&-
pected and hitherto unsupported ele-
ment opposed to gambling houses, has
developed with the recent action Of the
authorities in relation to the saloons.
owners Of saloons in Council Bluffs
which are not run in connection with a
gambling house or in which q gambling
house proprietor is not interested, are
secretly aiding in the sentiment for
their overthrow. Why? Because they
are not getting the money popularity
supposed to be spent by the gamblers.
Gamblers, so a present day oracle
says, are lot as they were formerly.
They have caught the spirit of econo-
my from other folks, and also, because
Of their vicarious existence, hoard their
money. In the parlance Of the day,
the gambler Of today is a tight wad."
This being the case, the saloon men
who have no interest in gambling
houses, view with glee the day when
the houses will be closed. The men
who %patronize the gambling houses,
with few exceptions, also patronize the
bar-When they have the money. And,
it is argued, with the gambling houses
out Of the way, more money will be
spent over the bar. Hence this new
element in the war.

Madrid, Dec. 12.-Scandia. a mining
town west Of Madrid, was raided just
a. day after pay day by a deputy I'm
tied States marshall, who with several
others, had gone into the camp and
been there two or three days before
the raid was made. They disguised
their identity, and bought whisky and
beer freely, taking also an active part
in the big poker and a games that
have been common for the past three
months, mostly by colored people.
THE whisky business, in the way OF
Bookkeeping, has been carried on by
Americans and Austrians for the past
three or four months, and they have
been doing a land office business. In
the raid forty-one cases and sixteen
barrels Of beer were seized, with i
number of jugs of whisky. Joe Brady,
William Smith and C. w. Smith, col
ored, were arrested and taken to Abel,

that he continued to show attentions
to Miss Mckenzie because he liked her
company, but that he thought she un-
derstood that he had no Intention OF
marrying her.
Mr.. Gray also testified yesterday on

could not swear that he had ever
promised to marry her and she admit
ted that she could not. He sWore that

tate men testified to be worth about

Attorney Bradshaw in summing up
the evidence for the defense empha-
sized the fact that Miss Mckenzie had
destroyed but a few of the letters she
received from Mr.. Gray. He declared
that there was nothing in any OF the
letters introduced by the plaint11 as
evidence that would show that Gray
had anything more h a a friendly
feeling for the school teacher. He also
mentioned the act that Gray did not
go to Hampton when Miss McKenzie's
father died and that she did not call
on his parents when visiting in Des
Moines. He thought that people VINO
were to be married would have shown
more consideration, for each others
families.

Gus year Of toll. George Guion is in jail
facing two serious charges, while his
little family, driven by destltutlon'
has been compelled to seek shelter n
food from a relative.
Down to his last penny, when was
spent in the saloons, Guion passed q
worthless check on b. 7. Thompson. a
druggist. of gu West Seventh street,
that he might continue his prolonged
dissipation. Another charge, that OF
selling mortgaged property, is to pc
filed against him, having disposed q
1000 bushels of corn, several horses
and personal belongings. Most OF the
money was spent in dazzling m1rrored
saloons while his wife and children
huddled together in a seemingly faith
erless home, economizing in every way
to keep body and soul together, until
finally driven to the home OF a rela-
tive from want.
Guion spent last summer farming
the land Of the Hubbell estate on the
Paulson road. q few miles from the
city, while the wife went cheeriiy
about her duties and the children per-
formed the little chores, all looking
FORWARD to a winter of rest. comfort
and contentment. But their. hopes
were blasted.
The soil gave up bountiful crops
which would have kept the family
comfortably turnout the winter, but al
