In another heart disease game at the new park Wednesday afternoon Gaffney defeated Blacksburg In a heart-rending game by a score of 2 to 1. Gaffney made two runs the first inning and had the boys from across the Broad shut out until the ninth Inning when they made one. This was a trifle irregular and if the regular run of events had occurred It is doubtful if they would have cross ed the rubber at all. Byars, the first man up in the ninth for Blacksburg, hit over ,hort for one base, this be ing the ; econd hit secured on Wood in two games. Ward then strucx out and Byars wa s caught napping oft second and declared out by Manager Ross of the Blacksburg club, who was umpiring. This raised a kick from the Blacksburg players but Bird came to bat and hit through short for one base. It was then Belue’s time at bat, but he refused to bat on ac count of his manager’s decision at second base. Blacksburg only had one substitute along and as he was already in the game on account of in jury to a player earlier in the game they had no one to bat in Belue’s place. On this account Gaffney al lowed Blalock, who was next In the batting order to Belue to take bis turn at bat. Blalock cracked out a two base hit scoring Bird and making things look squally for only one more run was needed to tie the score and with a man on second, things looked dangerous indeed. Maxwell ended the agony by hitting to Robbins at third and going out at first. The fea tures of the game was the pitching or Wood and Belue, the beautiful work of Gaffney’s infield, and sensational catches by Blalock and Byars for Blacksburg. Gaffney played an error less gatne. In the last three games pitched by Wood he has been score on only once. Has allowed one bit no hits and four hits, in the last two games the Gaffney club has made only one error. The box score: BUNTS AND SINGLES. Wood is certainly a wizard. Pitch ing a no hit game against the strong Cowpens aggregation, Is an achieve ment worthy of special mention, o o o Mr. Routh, the ex-leaguer, who came over to show the boys how It is done, certainly got his bumps in the game Tuesday. Wood has him skinned four city blocks. o o o Robbins is a great third sacker. He played the position perfectly in the game Tuesday. o o o The Cowpens boys are a gentle manly set, and accepted their defeat Tuesday in a graceful manner, o o o Lipscomb's work behind the bat was first class in the Cowpens game. To hold Wood for nine innings with out having a passed ball is good work. o o o Bell started the fine work in the Cowpens game Tuesday by a clean single to right center, and scored the first run of the game. After this they all landed on Mr. Routh. o o o The fence Is almost compiled, and it is to be hoped that the stand will be up this week in order that the garm's may be seen in some comfort, o o o PROGRESS OF DEATH. Sensations of One Overtaken by the “Sleep of Snow.” Pastor Bertrand was climbing a mountain with a party of students. Feeling tired, he lay down to rest while the others proceeded and was overtaken by the “sleep of snow.” He felt himself as if struck by apoplexy. His head was perfectly clear, but his body was powerless. He tells his story thus: **A kind of prayer was sent up, aud then l resolved to study quietly the progress of death. The sensation was not painful, but at last my head be came unbearably cold, and it seemed to me that concave pinchers squeezed my heart so as to extract my life. I never felt such pain, but It lasted only for a minute, and my life went out ‘Well,’ thought I, T am what they call a dead man. and here 1 am. a captive balloon attached to the earth by a kind of elastic spring and going up and al ways up! When my companions re turn they will say, “The professor’s dead.” They do not know 1 never was so alive as I am! The proof is 1 see them now—the guide is stealing a leg of my chicken. “Go on, old fellow! Eat the whole if you choose, for I hope my corpse will never eat again.” Hello! There is my wife going to Lucerne. “Well, wife, goodby!”’ I confess 1 did not call dear the one that has always been very dear to me. I felt neither regret nor joy at leaving her. My only regret was that 1 could not cut the string. Suddenly a shock stopped my ascension. I felt that somebody was pulling the balloon down. My grief was measureless. When I reached my body I had a last hope. The balloon ANNOUNCEMENT. Cards Inserted under this now until election day at the rate cf $5.00 for each announcement. For United States Senate.

Edward Seymour, earl of Hertford, in the days of Queen Elizabeth married as his third wife a beautiful young widow who had been engaged to Sir George Rodney, but whom she Jilted for Lord I^rtford. Sir George Rodney traveled to Amesbury and, putting up at the inn, awaited the homecoming of the earl and countess, who were ex pected to arrive the next day. The In fatuated man wrote a dying ode to his fickle love, using his blood as ink, and upon the arrival of the bridal party he went out to meet them. Lady Hert ford was agitated and terrified at the appearance of her old lover, and be fore Sir George could be prevented he drew bis sword and. falling on it. ex pired at Lady Hertford’s feet The countess presented a bell to Amesbury church perhaps as a slight penance for her fickleness. The inscription runs: Be strong In faythe. prayes God well, Frances, Countess Hertford's belt of peace. But in 1703 the negroes tv volted aud murdered practically all the j whites, the scenes enacted resembling ! those that took place at Cawnpore and ^ elsewhere during the Indian mutiny but magnified a thousandfold. On account of these atrocities fright ful reprisals took place when France ! In due course reconquered the Island. | But the negroes bided their time and i presently rose again under a ruffian j named Dessalimes. This time they did the thing thor j oughly. Not only were all the Euijo ' peans put to death, but all having auy admixture of white blood in their veins suffered a like fate. Many of the vie tims were burned alive after having been first tortured.
