The Phoebus bast; ball club, <>f
Hampton, Virginia, arrived in the
eUy yesterday morning. and crossed
bats with the lloauokesat the usual
hour in the afternoon. The game
wasan interesting and exciting one,
and despite the fact that the Roan
ojies won by a score of 7 to I, the visi?
tors exhibited baseball facilities which
playing bespoke their edlcieuey. Their
every movement was that of good
players, and the reaso i why the con
test w.isn't closer is cot "octly attribu?
ted 10 the fact, that they had traveled
all night and were necessarily fatigued
and worn out.
A good crowd was present, about
500 being there, and tie.* game was 61
sufficient interest to keep them all
there until it closed. Three ot the fea?
tures of tlie game were dog tights,
which were greatly applauded.
In the first inning the Roanokes
failed to make a run. Rosenthal, of
the visitors then went to the bat,and
startled everything, and made every?
body yell until their tin oats got sore
by knocking the ball over the fence,
and making a home run. Brodie, the
pitcher for the 1'oanokes, didn't ^jet
rattled, however, and it was due to
him principally that no more runs
were matte in that inniug by the visi?
tors. In fact they made no more runs
duriu.tr the game.
In the second inningS?nds knocked
the ball safely to right field. Kirby
t:nt to third on errors, and then came
home. Sands also on Alex Brodie's
hit to left field. Reefer ^ot out at
first, and Brodie did tin- tame at sec?
ond, and the side was retired with
two runs in Roanokes favor. The
visitors didn't as much as make first
base.
In the third inning its feature was
Dolin's fine two base hit, bringingin ?
Sproul, and then coming in home
himself no errors.
When Rosenth q i cs me to the bat he
was greatly applauded because he
had knocked the ball over the fence
before. Contrary to the expectations
he lined out a three-bagger, the ball
lacking only about six inches of going
Over the fence. The next batter p?>t
out on a foul, and the two next wi re
>t ruck out.
In the fifth inning Dolin knocked
the ball safely to left field, and got
home on a wild throw.
Neither side made a run in the
sixth, but iu the seventh the Roa?
nokes scored two. No more runs
were made on either Fide, and thus
the &rame closed.

there was no occasion for it.
The tender remarks that Beach of

that he is not much of a dog lover.

Every time a foul was knocked over
the fence it struck fron five to ten
dogs, and none of them had tax tags

every time the'ball went over the

it was given admission to the grounds.

"Whatare your impressions of this

Mr. Harrison.
"Very favorable," was the reply.
"Wo have eDjoyed our trip through

The familiar figure of Judge
Griffin, of Bedford City, was seen on
the streets of the city yesterday. He
? m< alxncst as many friends in Roa?

saying h good deal. A.- the years go
hy the judge seems to be ;,r"ttiin,'
better ! totting. His moustache and
goatee get a little grayer, but that
does not make any difference. He
continues to take an intense interest
iu political affairs and though be lias
taken no active interest in them since
hin defeat by Hopkins, the labor can?
didate from Lynchburg, that is not
saying that, in time he will not. A
better man could not represent this

more conversant with public affairs.

and Southern will cuter the city has
not yet been determined upon. Col.
Fries said to a reporter that he
is afraid that.the righl of way will
cost a great deal of money. Property
owners are asking very high prices
for real estate, and he thinks that it
i3 possible that it may cost as much
to get into the town as it has sub?
scribed. President Fries registered

keeps him almost constantly on the

Fire and Fun.
Major J. Horace Lacy, of Virginia,
probably intends his ietter to General
.lubal A. Early to Le taken seriously.
Whatever the writer's intention the
letter is delightfully numerous as the
reader tuny observe elsewhere. It is
no easy thing to weld together blood
thirstiness and fun, bnt Major Lacy
does it inimitably. To begin with,
the point at issue between the fiery
Major and the old Confederate war
horse is not of '''he slightest
consequence to any breathing being.
Jt is simply whether General Lee
spoke favorably on a certain occasion
of the military abilities of Brigadier
Hilly Mahone." Early says he did not:
Major Lacy says he did. The venera?
ble Mahone is yet to bo heard from.
Early has also* slighted Major Lacy,
which is not surprising, if his general
conduct is on a par with the tone and
language of his letter. But the ex?
quisite morsel of unconscious humor
comes at the end of the letter, where
Major Lacy regrets the survival of
the men who will neither learn nor
forget. Very few men have the
courage to say that they regret their
own existence.?Pittsburg Dispatch.

Now look after your cellars and
the health of the city will bo. much
improved.
The board of health, after a good
prodding by the citizens and news?
papers of Roanoke,bavo at last shown
a disposition to keep the streets clean.
The force was on yesterday iucreased
and all day long the garbage carts
wen- basy removing filth from the
prim ipal thoroughfar
Jefferson street at i's intersection
with Salem avenue locks a thousand
per rent, better than h did two day:
ago And the avenue from the Mar?
ket to its junction with Commerce
street looks cleaner and better than
it has for many a long month. And
it didn't cost much either. Probably
the expense of the force at work yes?
terday did not amount to ?00.
Whew: What an-ulor filled the
the air when the mud holes were dis?
turbed. It was something to be re?
membered not pleasantly, and pedes?
trians hurried along at a quicker
gait despite the fact that the ther?
mometer was soariug up 'round
about ninety-two degrees above
zero.
I'p and down tin? principal streets
it looked as if a light snow bad fallen,
the whiteness of the slacked limecon
t rag ting strongly with the blackness
of the mud. The lime did noble and
one could almost see it consume the
vegetable and animal matter in the
garbage that was lefr. Citizens all
over town were not slow to applaud
the good work being done by the
Hoard of Health and they couldn't be
pleased better than to have it con?
tinued.
The inudholes on the road along
the dummy line to Vinton are also
receiving attention. \ estcrday carts
and men were busy all day filling
them up with cinders and the road is
rapidly in a condition tliar will allow
of comfortable travel. Cinders make
the very best kind of roadbed and the
city could not do bette;- than to invest
in all they can find.
But though the Board of Health
under the leadership Ol its president,
Dr. George S. Luck, is doing noble
work, it will not amount to a great
deal if the co-operation of the citizens
is not forthcoming. Many of the
cellars in town are in a most unhealthy
condition and they should i?e treated
immediately to a good coat of lime.
All it costs is a dollar a bushel.
AGAINST SOUTHERN lKt?.*V.
Northern RallrondN arc Trying to
Klint Out Our Product*.
Ho more conclusive proof of the in?
dustrial growth of tin* South could be
afforded than is furnished in the ac?
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
increasing rates on the transportation
of Southern iron. This increase, it is
frankly admitted by the freight agent
of the "railroad company, as reported
in the Philadelphia Press, has been
made at the instance and for the pro?
tection of Pennsylvania manufactur?
ers. "It was aone," said the agent
in response to inquiries, at the re?
quest of the Pennsylvania iron
men. The iron business was dull,
and in their letter they mentioned
that the rate charged to the
Southern manufacturer was lower
than that charged to the Penn?
sylvania furnaces. The matter was
looked into, and we found that the
freight rates for Southern iron were
lower, tor the rate charged to thc
Pennsylvania furnaces was based on
a local rate, and the Southern charges
were ba?ed on a through rate. It is
only right that we should look after
the interests of our h< me business.'"
In other words,*the competition of
Southern iron has become so great in
Pennsylvania that it has made the
iron ti '.de dull for the iiome furnaces,
and forced them to call upon the rail?
roads for aid in shutting out their
Southern rivals. The only way ap?
parently that they can hope to retain
their supremacy is by excluding the
Southern product from the State.
It is absurd to speak of the ?'com?
paratively small amount of South?
ern iron that is carried," and
yet in the same breath to advance
rates to keep this small amount
from competing with the native arti
cle. It is clear that the iron indus
tries in Virginia and other Southern
States are beginning to make the
shoe of the protected Pennsylvania
manufacturer pinch very badly. A
few years ago he wanted protection
from the pauper labor of Europe, and
now he wants protection from other
States of the Union. In the latter
case he cannot get Cougress to inter?
vene as he did in the former, but be
has sufficient influence with thePenn
sylvania Railroad to lay an embargo
on Southern iron. Of course so nar?
row and short sighted a ' policy will
only defeat its own object. If the
iron mountains of the South cannot
be carried to the business Mahomets
of Pennsylvania who have the good
sense to 'buy where they can buy
cheapest, the Mahomets will go to the
mountains. In the words of aPennsyl?
vania iron man:"The wholeupshot will
be that the furnaces and iron manu?
facturers in thisStatejvhousedSouth
ern iron will try to get the Pennsyl?
vania Road to give another and a
lower rate, and if they don't there is
a probability that a Dumber of the
furnaces will be moved to Virginia,
where they will have everything at
their disposal, and instead of paying
tolls on the raw material will only
have to pay freight on the manufact?
ured article. Much of the capital in?
vested in Virginia is by Pennsylvan
ians. They did not go into this thing
for fun; they mean business." Protec?
tion may be a good thing for the pro?
tected as long as it protects, but when
it fails to do so what are they going to
do about it? Evidently such an ex?
pedient as calling to their aid a rail?
road corporation can be but a tempor?
ary make-shift in a country where
new and competing railroad lines are
springing into existence every year.
But even if such a device were effec?
tive in excluding Southern iron from
Pennsylvania, it could not save the
iron interests of that btate from the
inevitable operations of the laws of
trade and business. If iron can be
made more cheaply in the South than
in Pennsylvania manufacturers will
either have to recognize that fact
and act accordingly or shut up shop
and go out of business.?Baltimore

chaser 10 per cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house costing not less than
$500, on his lot, will have a reduction
of 35 per cent, on his purchase, mak?
ing his lot cost $113.50.
Several clubs will be organized in
this city, so that a member can join
one or more clubs, and draw in each
club weekly by the payment of one
dollar and ($1.50) fifty cents in each
club. No interest is charged on these
payments whatever.
The land has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially in the rear of
the Roanoke College, and half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through the land, side?
walks are also contemplated, atid
pleasant, homes, close to. business,
could be erected at small cost, either
as a home for the owner or to rent
out, as houses are in great demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of small
means to secure property constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
pay up on your lot after you have
drawn, by paying one-third cash,
balance in one ?nd two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within 18 months from the time you
joined the club, and secure the re?
ductions named above.
Every member must pay his weekly
dues before he will be r>!Iowed to par?
ticipate in any drawing. If absent,
some one will draw for him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, but
goto Salem and see it for yourself:
call on Mr. H. G. Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
ISO, some few are ?0xl3'i. The lots are
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders it easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying investment, by the
expenditure of $1.50 per week. Salem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap?
idly and presents more advantages for
investment than any new town in the
State.
Every working man, be his means
large or small, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who wish to secure lots in the
Baltimore & Ohio L*nd Company
should call on Messrs. Oscar D. Derr
& Co., the authorized agents for Roan?
oke City, who will fully explain the
manner of conducting the sale, and
can be found at their office from -8 a.
m. to 10 p. m.
There is no investment on which
one can realize so handsomely and at
so small a cost as to become a mem?
ber of the Baltimore & Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the Baltimore &t Ohio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfully recommend
these lots to the public.
