He Wins a Game From Staunton Under Trying Circumstances. Roanoko Gives Another Kxhlbltiou of Flg T.U1 Rail Mingle Errors sud Rase lilts In a Lively Manner? Maoe Weakened In tlie Latter Part of the Game and O'llagun's Men Came Off Victorious. If Li Hung Chang had oomo to Roa noko beforo tho war betwoon China and Japan broko out tho probabilities aro that be would not havo lost his yellow jacket. It is stated that tho emperor degraded him he did not take proper steps to prepare the Flowery Kingdom for the impending struggle Had ho seen the Roanoko ball team play a game or two ho would havo en? gaged them on tho spot and transported them across tho seas. If they could fight Japanese as well as they can play Chinese ball tho war would now be onded.

The exhibition the home team gavo yesterday of "pig-tall" ball was first class, but of ball playing, as laid down in the book, it was about as miserable as it could well be. Notwithstanding this, they won and two men wero responsible for the vic? tory They woro FlUmorrls and Maoe, the opposing pitchers. The former pitched a gilt-edged game and only in the fourth inning did he allow his oppo nents to bunch their bits. This was due to an injury ho received in the first half of the inning. While at the bat bo was struck directly ovor the heart by a swiltly pitched ball and for a few moments ho was doad to the world and every one in it.

When ho went in to pitch tho last half of this inning he was still groggy and aftor chances bad been given his fielders to retire tho sido and not accepted ho was touched up for a single, a doublo and a triplo, whlzh, togothor with a baso on balls, a previous two hit and Truby's error, gavo tha visitors five runs and an apparently safe ioad. Fitzruorris pulled himself' together after this, however, and allowed but throo little singles to bu made off of him in the remaining five innings. Mace pitched a gocd gamo up to the seventh, when he weakened and tho homo team hit him at will. In tho eighth they found him for five hits, one of them being a throe bagger. Bills did not show up at tho grounds and Royd covered second While he is credited with threo errors, two wild throws and a passod ball, be put lifo into his work and tried to infuse some ginger into tho othor members of tho team, but he had a hopeless task on his hands.

It is due to Truby to stato that ho Is sick and Is really In no CDndition to play ball. Truby Is undoubtedly a first class man and when he regains his bealtb will show what he can do. Hodge also seemed to have caught the fever, and umpired a strictly OhineRO game His Ideas of balls and strikes were quite ludicrous, and both sides suffered. His baso decisions ware purely American, and, consequently, wero all right. Following is tho score: HOANOKK, I STAUNTON.

l.VLK DRUG CO. MCE THREE CENTS I NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED. The Caucus Decided Not to Em barras the House Conferees. It Took the Democrats of the House an Hour and a Half to Arrive at This Promoters of Canons Disappointed at This Action. Washington, Aug.

IIous Democratic caucus to-day lasted an hour and a half and adjourned after deoidlng that the House conferees on the tariff bill should not be embarrassed by in? structions of any character from their Democratic associates. This action of the caucus was disappointing to its pro? moters who had hoped for a different result whereby a speedy settlement of the In dispute between th3 two Houses might be reached. Another disappointment awaited these present in that Mr. Wilson, chairman of the ways and means committee, failed to inform the caucus what progress the conferees had made; what propositions bad been agreed on by tho representa? tives of the two houses, and when in his opinion a report could be made. Nor did Spoaker Crisp, who spoke at length, threw any light upon the situation.

For tho most what he said was that an agreement might be reached at an early day, while ho dampened the spirits of those who are pressing for an early adjournment by saying that Con? gress might remain in Bession 00 days but that a tariff bill satisfactory to tho country would be passed before It ad? journed. A feature of the proceedings was the statement made by Louisiana, on the authority of Senator Mills, that tho Liouso must recedo from its objec? tion to tbo Senate amendments and agree to them if tbo passage of a tariff bill Is to be expected. The character? ization of this declaration by Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, as a "bluff" seemed likely for a moment to result in an acrlminous debate. It did not, however, so result and the entire proceedings wore charac? terized by a spirit of harmony and good feeling.

A Til It 11,1.1 Nt; EXPERIENCE. Efforts to Hold Up An Express Train Dallied. Cl.RVEl.AND, Aug. Shore ex? press train No. 12, arriving from the West, puffed into the Union Station this morning after having enjoyed a most thrilling oxperienco on tho plains of Indiana.

Ap attempt was made late lust night to hold up tbo train at Kessler, upon the idontioal spoo that the train was hold up last fall. The train was just approaching a spilt switch at Kess? ler when the engineer noticed that tho switch was turned so as to run tho train on the siding upon which a big ob? struction of ties and lumber bad been piled Tho obstruction did not appoar to be impassablo and the engineer put on Bteam and dashed through the pile pass? ing safoly on to tho main track through the split switch at a high rate of speed As tho train passed the obstruction tho ongineer noticed a group of masked men, and as the engine cloared the track of all obstacles, the would-be highwaymen fired sovcral shots into tho train, none of which, howeyer, took effect. The United States express car was attached to the train, and had on board a largo amount of money. It is thought that this was known to the robbers who attempted to hold up tho train. Their disappointment in carrying out their plans of stopping tho train by piling obstructions upon tho track was evinced in their firing of tho shots wIicd thoy saw their plans had been foiled by tho boldness of the engineer in dashing through the heap of tios upon tbo track.
