The third game of the series he
tv.ven the Koanoke? and the Phcobus
club was played to a fairly large au?
dience yesterday afternoon, and rc
ulted in a defeat for the former by H
score of (i to 4. Tin- home club plnj'< il

but they made a gall mt fight for ti
victory. The featc es of the gau

home on Reefer's junff. tin' ball b<
coming lost under the grand stand
Beach, "the kicker," folded on'
? o Reefer. Rosenthal next cam
up to the plate suiiling. Th
first ball thrown was a lift!
wide, and Rosey wouldn't bite
but the next was a L'ood one and h
knocked it clean-over righ field fend
for a borne run. Great Scott! Bov
the 300 throats did y< II. It was a pei
fect pandemonium. Rosenthal trot?

raised his cap to the audience as h<
took bis seaf. other runs were
scored during the inniug. Leach fly

out. Koanoke. 0: Phoebus, 2.
Second?Again Koanoke failed to

visiting team, hitting safely to center,

and retired the side. Roauokes 0.
Plmsbus 5.
The fourth and fifth inning*
were not signalized by any
run-getting, bul Kirby made a beau?
tiful catch of a foul fly, after a long
run and was liberally applauded
Sixth?As the Ehtrous boys were
1.iking thdr places in the !;. Id at the
end of the fifth, the mascot of the
team, Reefer's old white dog, strolled
out to the pitcher's box, and aftei
taking a look over the diamond
quietly walked away with an injured
. 11 r that seemed to s* y, '"Well, you
fellows can't play ba : a little b:r."
The appearance of :he old chum
seemed to infuse m *v life into the
home team, and they played better]
ball afterwards. KeePr was first at
the bat, and be knocked a short fly to
Leach. Wigmore placed a litrle one
in Opdyke's hands, but he threw high
and while Rosenthal was off
the plate Steve touched it. He
was caught napping there, however,
and Fuller threw nim out. Beck got
a life at first, stole second and third,
and went home on a wild throw.
Sproul died at first. Phoobus failed
to score. Roanokes, 1; Phrcbus, 5.
Seventh?Ford was .-truck by th?
pitcher and skirmished around to i
third. Alex Brodie also got his base
on four bad balls. IMin struck out.
Kirby hit to left bringing Ford in
and advancing A. Brodie to t hird. J
Brodie's hit brought/.. Brodie in.and
sent Kirby to third, who came home I
on Reefer's sacrifice. Wigmore f
fouled out, retiring the side. Beach
knocked a high fly to right, but Ford
got too far under it and the runner
went to third, and home on Roscn
tbal's sacrifice. Hayden knocked a!
safe one to center, and went to third |
on Leach's hit to right. He stayed
there as P. Fuller fell a victim. Roan?
okes, 4; Phodbus, 0.
Neither side scored in the two re?
maining innings, but it was very ex?
citing and the cranks were kept on the j
qui vive of expectancy. The dogagain
in the ninth started jut across the
diamond and A. Brodie, who was at
the bat, saw him. It discouraged
Alex, to think that their mascot
didn't appear till th j sixth inning
and he struck out. Dolin, probably
feeling the same depression, knocked j
a little one in the infield and was i
thrown out. at iir^t. It began to look j
squally for the big boys in gray, but
Kirby, who has been getting his eye
on the ball remarkably 'well of late.1
got first bag on balls. I. Brodie was
next at the bat and he knocked a
corking two-bagger to left field fence
advancing Kirby to third. With
Keefer at the bat it louked as if Roa
noke would tie the score, but Harry
didn't get it on the bat at the right
place and Rosenthal got it up before
he reached first. The score:

j Stato Senator Johnson, of Chris
I tiansburp. was iu the city yesterday,
and isat dinner at Marshall's Cafe
with Mr. P. T. Rrinkley, who was at
one time tho Super in tent of tho
Roanoke Land and Improvement
Company. Senator Johnson'is very
highly spoken of as a candidate
, for the Congressional nomination
which meets Here In August.
He would make a good
representative at Washington anil his
experience in the State Senate would
stand him in pond stead. Besides
this he is as a lawyer equalled by hut
few in f lic Southwest, or indeed in
Virginia. If he decides to go before
the convention hewill have a good
strong hacking.

1 be Hotel Lounger yesterday met
I Mr. Thompson, ol Is' irfolk, who pro?
poses to in.ike Roanoke Iiis home in
the future. Mr. Thompson is an old
showman ami animal tamer and he
limps a little from th ? efTectsofa lion's
teeth which wen- imbedded in bis
thigh years apo. .Mr. Thompson
travelled through Roauoke when it
was ?lie bander of Big Lick and
showed at Salem. Roanoke was too
small a town those days, arid the peo?
ple had to ^o to Salem for their
amusements.
"Wonder the lion didn't (inisb you
when once he had you down," re?
marked the lounger. "He'd tasted
blood hadn't he?
"Well I should say he had," was
the answer. "Rur it is a great uiis
take,and a quite general one,totlunk
that after an animal tastes blood he
is more ferocious than before. Up to
a score of year-.' ago every showman
thought this was th" ease, but they
have got over it now. A trainee!
thinks nothing of hi tin;,' an animal
lick Th" blood from ;iis hands after
feeding him. But it is a useless risk,
and not many of them do it.

Mr. .1. P. Hass, the clever young ed?
itor of the Plat Top Monitor is in the
city. Mr. Unas conies originally
from Shamokin, Pa., and his

well known mineralogist of
the West End furnace. Editor Haas
likes the Southwest country and tin
beautiful little town of Bramwell,
where he print&bis paper and runs
one of the most complete job offices in
in the State. He thinks this sectior
has a great future before it. and sayj
that when he comes to Roanoke he
fee's a;; ifbeisontho metropolis. He
will stop here until Sunday.

A gentleman who arrived in the
city lai-t evening from Bramwell
brings the story of a dastardly murder
committed there on Thursday.
As Wood Dews, a hard-working
young colored man was crossing the
bridpe leading from Mill Creek, an
adjoining settlement, he was shot and
killed by some one hiding in the bush
on the banks of a ravine.
Dews was accompanied by his
dusky sweetheart and a dog. The
first shot struck the dog, and the ani?
mal foil from the bridge to the sharp
rocks underneath. Another shot im?
mediately followed, .Urikinp Dews
and wounding him. The girl fled
and Dews drew himself along across
the bridge. Just before be pot acres,
however, another shot was fired with
fatal effect.
The man's body was carried to the
village, and last night it passed
through this city for Lynchbarp, bis
former home. It is supposed that the
cause of the murder was jealousy, and
I a man who was in love with the girl
j who accompanied Dews, is suspected.
A i>i% I.aim Pnrclinse.
Mr. Joseph A. Peck, of Craip coun
j ty. associated with several gentlemen
i of this city, yesterday purchased a
j tract of land containing 300 acres
t about five miles north of Salem, on
! which there is said to be a big deposit
I of excellent black marble. The pur
1 chase was made with a view to devel

! marble upon the market.
; XO STATE FAIR.
The Executive Committee Decide that
it Is Xot Feasible.
Whereas, it is the opinion of this
committee that if the ways and means
could be made clear that it would be
desirable to hold a State fair thisfa'l;
but the present condition of the af?
fairs of the society does not encour?
age us to undertake such a thing,
and we see no way to such an end.
The citizens of Richmond should take
the matter of raising a necessary fund
? in hand and so place tho society in
. position to hold the fair. It is the
further ?pinion of thecommittee that
'?a fund of $10,000 would have tobe
placed in the hands of the committee
and perhaps a guarantee of $5,000 to
meet any possible deficit; therefore,
Resolved, that it is not feasible to
undertake a State fair this fall.

The count is of. course, a rough oi.e

the rough count gives. The result is
almost a surprise to the people cf
Koanoke.
The enumeration bus been con?

hardly expected the total would be s >
large. Scores of prominent citizens
have complained to the Tmics that
they have never been enumerated,
and there is hardly a doubt but what
the population of ti..- town is at th !
lowest estimate 18,000 souls. Noel

Tin- Hulllmore and Ohio 3.and Com?
pany, of Salem,
Offer 1,300 building lots for $150
each. Weekly payments of $1.50.
The Baltimore and Ohio Land Com?
pany, of Salem, Va., owning 227 acres
of laud within half a mile of Salem,
Va.. admirably located for building
lots, have determined to offer 1,300
lots for sale at $150 each, including
corner lots, in the following manner:
Lot clubs of 100 members each will
be formed. Each member thereof
paying $1.50 per week or $(> per
month until $150 is paid. Each mem?
ber will draw for a lot at the regular
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until 100 lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots will get two lots each
instead of one.
The one drawing a lot can at any
time pay up on his lot and pet a deed
to it. as the compauy own their land
in tee simple: or he can pay one-third
cash, balance in one and two years,
and the company will allow such pur?
chaser 10 par cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house coning not less than
$500, on his lot, will have a reduction
of 2.") per cent, on his purchase, mak?
ing bis lot cost $1 12.50.
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 ami tin lots numbered. I
The laid lies partially in the rear of I
the Roanoke College, and half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through ihc land, side?
walks are also conceuiplated, and
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 payiup one-third cash,
balance in one and two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within 18 months fron the time you
joined the club, and secure the" re?
ductions named above.
Every member must pay hisvepkly
dues before be will be allowed to par?
ticipate in any drawing. If absent,
some one will draw foi him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, bnt
go to Salem and see it for yourself:
call on Mr. H. Gr. Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
130, some few are 50x136. 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, growinp rap?
idly and presents moreadvantapesfor
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 A Ohio Land Company
should call on Messrs. Oscar D. Derr
A Co., the authorized agents for Roan?
oke City, who will fully explain the
manner of conductinp the sale, and
can be found at their office from 8 a,
in. 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 A Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the .Baltimore A Ohio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfully recommend
these lots to the public. '
