The rain yesterday gives the team
one more chance to get ready. The

Baltimore, May 23. — The banking
firm of Middendorf, Williams & Co.
announced today that a syndicate or
ganized by that firm and the Interna
tional Trust Co., of this city, and that
of John L. Williams & Sons, of Rich
mond, Va„ has consummated the pur
chase of six short railroads in Georgia
and Florida, having a total 'mileage of
about 230 miles, which it is proposed
to consolidate under the name of the
Georgia & Florida Railway.
The roads purchased are: Dougins,
Augusta & Gulf railroad; Millen &
Southwestern railroad; Augusta &
Florida railroad; Nashville & Sparks
railroad; Valdosta Southern railroad;
Midvale, Swninsboro & Red Bluff.
Connecting links have been planned
and when built, the rond will extend
from Augusta, Ga., to Madison, Fin.
The carrying out of the "plans of the
syndicate involve an expenditure of
about $6,000,000.
Valdosta is still climbing. They aro
taking full advantage of the games
that they are playing with Americus
at present.
There was a little surprise in the
camp of the enemy when Fred Beusse
struck out yesterday. He isn’t much
givep to the fatal habit.

. Crosley works hard all the time. He
all hut got Tribble’s hit, which was a
Texas leaguer, placed with much pre
cision over second base.
Getting wet at the park two days in
succession, and then not seeing a
whole game, is enough to dampen the
ardor of the enthusiast a little hit.
Snod was killed once yesterday
while trying to steal second. Beusse’s
assist was a beautiful one to see.
Things like this have to happen,
though.
Two years of hall playing in the
South Atlantic League have left their
impress on Buesse. His work is sug
gestive at all times of faster company.
The heavens were unwilling again
yesterday that the few people who had
assembled at the park should see a
bona-fide exhibition of the national
sport. For an inning and a half they
pranced around on the diamond, hut
finally in the last half of the second,
(which was a pretty-soon finally)
Wilson made a wild pitch, and then a
grimace at the wet ball, and the men
came in. The regulation half hour
elapsed and they began to get ready
to go home. This last was a little hard
to do, as the rain was still arriving.
The score was a blank when things
stopped, and altogether the Albany
fans were pleased with the aspect of
things. With the new men here today
things will be still further improved
and winning a game will not he a
heart-breaking task that it has been
heretofore.
Everybody—Manager Snodgrass, the
players, the public, even the little ne
groes that look between the cracks of
the fence—are . all glorying over the
outlook. The knocker has changed,
the gate receipts, if the weather will
only allow, will pick up, and the
dream of a team that will give the
others a warm race after the pennant
will he 'realized. The names of the
three new men are things to conjure
with, and nobody is gladder that they
are to be here than the other players.
They can't say enough good things
' about them. The men are straining
every nerve to hold up,‘and with the
little rest that they have gotten the
last two days they are in fine shape to
avenge the deeds of last week. The
ball that they have been playing In the
few Innings of this week Is of a gilt-
edge variety, and a little practical en
couragement on the part of the public,
to put it plainly, a larger attendance,
will help them to keep on doing this
sort of work.
We stand a good chance to win to
day, and If we lose it will be only af
ter a hard fight, and, a game that the
men will stretch every nerve to make
errorless.
Just a little pulling together now. a
little determined effort, a little confi
dence on the part of the public In the
team, and a little less activity on the
part of the hoodoo, and the Albany
team wjll climb to the top and dispute
with the proud ones who now occupy
that exalted position their right to
hold It
Tribble, who was UP only once, got
a hit. The pitchers all over the cir
cuit are beginning to speak with bated
breath of this man who hits them
when he gets ready.
The innocent grandstand was the
recipient of some rather bad things
that came from the players’ vocal or
gans. It wasn’t built to keep out the
elements, It seems.
The attendance yesterday, though
small, was even better than was ex
pected. The people cannot he ex
pected to come out on such an after
noon as yesterday was.
The double-headers will be quite nu.
merous. After the Fourth of July, the
date of the first one, the men will see
a hard time, playing six days in the
week, and some of these will he dou
bles.
CURE FOR LEPROSY
F
An Important Discovery Re
ported from the Louisiana
Leper Home — Cure of
Cases Well Authenticated.
New Orleans, May 23.—In a lengthy
report submitted to Gov. Blanchard
by the boardN)f control of the Louis
iana leper home, announcement is
made that a definite cure has been
obtained in three cases of leprosy.
The cures are mentioned In the re
ports of Dr. Hopkins, visiting physi
cian, and Dr. Isadore Dyer, consulting
leprologist These patients have been
discharged.
It Is stated In the report that the
disease continues to spread In this
state, and that the cases show evi
dence of a recent outbreak, and that
there are certain centers of infection
yet to be Investigated. In Borne In
stances the disease hay been, carried
to non-lnfected points by patients who
escaped from the home. The legisla
ture Is asked to locate all of the points
of infection.
The members of the hoard' suggest
that an appeal he made to the federal
government to establish a national
hospital fov lepers.
Nunerjy has all sorts of confidence
In himself. No “np in the air” for
him. He smiles at a three-base hit
and then proceeds to get busy and
keep It from scoring with the same
sort of smile still on his face.
Snodgrass nabbed a foul fly that
looked like it was g9ne. It was .a
backward running catch, and because
It looked like Waycross was about to
score, and this was the third put-out,
was all the more appreciated.
One reason for the. success of the
Waycross- team is the fact that the
best of goo*d feeling exists between
the men. A club that Is torn with
dissensions within will soon find that
they are steadily going down hill.
Several of the players were com
plaining of the wetting of the first
evening. The effects of a thing like
this on a pitcher are to be dreaded, as
the dampness settling in his salary
wing may “glass” it, and then it’s all
up with him.
The visitors are filled with the joy
ous spirit of self-confidence. When
their past record is considered there
is nothing more to he said in explana
tion. But let’s hope that the home
team will be the means of eradicating
a little of this complacent optimism.

of the South Atlantic League, hut she
let the qhance go by. Since then, now
that that league has shown that it is

FAN-ATICS.
Boyd made a nice assist of a hot
one to first yesterday.
The players sat np in the grand
stand yesterday while the rain was
falling, and discussed various subjects.
The conversation finally drifted round
to fish, and Wagnon said that he
caught a catfish once that weighed,
after the scales were scraped off, only
■sixty-nine pounds. The rest of them
were unkind enough to disbelieve this
and to prove that he was wrong in
formed him that catfish didn’t have
scales. But he moved off without re
plying to this innuendo. (
The days like yesterday knock a
hole In the finances that is hard to fill.

This morning at the Georgia Bot
tling Wortts, young Senyman Plonsky
was the victim of a rather peculiar ac
cident. / He is one of the employes of
the company, and while at the works
a bottle of ginger ale near him burst
and some of the fragment* of. the
glass struck him in the forehead, in
flicting a painful gash about two
inches long. While the wound is pain
ful it is only a flesh wound and is
nothing serious.
Mr. Sam Dunlap, Mrs. Jor
dan’s Brother, the Pur
chaser—Mrs. Jordan’s Ap
proaching Marriage An
nounced. 1
From I ho Macon Evonlns Nows.
Along with the announcement of the
approaching marriage of Mrs. Lee Jor
dan and Hon. John D. Little, which is
to occur in Macon on June 16, comes
the announcement of the purchase of
Mrs. Jordan's beautiful home on Col-
lege street by her brother, Mr. Sam-
uel Dunlap.
The trade was consummated several
days ago. The purchase price is not
known, but that it was away up in the
thousands, goes without saying. The
Jordan home is one of the most beau-
tlful residences, not only in the South,
but in America. The interior furnish
ings are said to surpass anything this
side of New York.
Mi*. Dunlap will continue to make
his residence at the place formerly
owned by Mrs. Jordan. When seen
this mornlqg by a ‘representative of
the News concerning the purchase of
the property, Mr. Dunlap said:
"Yes, it is true that I have bought
the property, and I will live there for
some days yet.”
Further than that Mr. Dunlap do-
dined to discuss the purchase and the
transfer of the beautiful home.
She Didn't Sleep Well.
A woman who lives in an inland
town, while going to a convention in a
distant city, spent one night of the
journey on board a Btoamboat. It was
the first time 1 she had over traveled by
water. She reached her journey’s end
extremely fatigued. To a friend who
remarked It she replied:
“Yes, I’m tired to death. I don’t
know that I care to travel by water
again. I read the card in my state
room nbout how to put the life pre
server on, and I thought I understood
it, but I guess I didn't. Somehow I
couldn’t go to sleep with the thing on.”

after almost losing hope of recovery,
on account of the failure of so many
remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney

him completely. He Is now entirely
