new DEPOT
Seems Assured, as the Plans For the
Same Are Now In the Mayors
Ofiice-Only Obstacle Ia the
Matter Of Closing up Low.
err Street.

Mr.. Garrett B. Wall Of the G. & o.
Railroad was in this city Saturday
and had with him the drawings Of the
new depot which will be built here at
some future date by the c. & o. Rail-
road. The plans we're left in the May
or's Office.
The plans as shown call for a fifty
thousand dollar brick depot to be built
en- the site of the present freight de-
pot This will necessltate the closing
of Lower street and filling the same to
the level of the lot of Mr.. r. T. Kirk.
There will be three waiting rooms,
one for the white ladies, one for white
gentlemen and one for the colored
people. There will also be a baggage
room connected with the depot. With
the depot will also be built track sheds
for protection in bad weather. The
present freight depot will be removed
to the site OF the passenger depot
The passenger depot will be on the
order Of the depot now in use In
Ronceverte, W. Va.
About the only obstacle in the way
is the closing of Lower street and as
several OF the Councilmen oppose this
iJ is not known whether or not the
matter would pass II brought to
vote. The street is never used except
as a passage way by few people. II
has not been used as a street for
great number Of years. 1t is GAINED
that with the completion Of the great
Lock and Dam system on the Ohio,
which will mean a nine foot stage al
low water mark. that there will be
revival in the boating trade and every
outlet to the river will be greatly
needed. That will be a great many
years however. The landing at Lower
street is not practicable on account of
the swift current at this place.
1t remains with the City Council to
determine whether or not this thing
will be granted the c. & o. The rail.
road is willing to do their part so why
not the city?

LEXINGTON LOSES
BASE BALL TEAM
Franchise Is Turned Over To League
President Joe Carr-NOt Enough
Patronage the Cause OF Aban-
dOnmeM Of Organized
Ball There.

Lexington, KY, July lit was a
silent crowd Of fans who trooped out
OF the grandstand and bleachers at
League Park yesterday afternoon at
ter the game was over. For word had
been passed around that the Sunday
game was to be the last, and the
march to the carline was more of a
funeral procession than anything else.
While the game was still in prog.
ress, Secretary Hogan Yancey sent a
telegram to League President Joe Carr
at Columbus, Ohio, informing him
that the game would be the last play
ed by Lexington and asking for in
structions as to what should be done
with the players. No answer had been
received to the message at late hour
last night. However, 1t is supposed
that whatever city takes the place of
Lexington will also take over the
players who have not been sold by the
lOCdl management II 10 pOooiDiC thot
Lexington's desertion may mean the
end Of the Ohio State League, al
though there is nothing definite in re-
gard to this.
Ralph Shafer will leave today for
Terre Haute and McClelland will also
leave the city within the next two
days. A deal with the Louisville Amer
lean Association club for pitcher Ror-
er is also under way and may be COM
pleted within the next twenty-four
hours. However, the Lexington fran
chise was the property of all that re-
mains of the once famous Ohio State
League at ~ o'clock last night, and
Lexington as an organized ball town
has become a sad memory. It is i'm
probable that this city will ever again
have another franchise from the Ohio
State League. There are not enough
real, dyed-in-the-wool, thirty-thlrd de-
gree fans in this city to keep either a
good team or a bad one going.
