j,m than went to the bat. and bv some ex
cellent batting brought three men over the
home plate. The Seaside never scored af
terwards.
Shaw pitched one of his best games and
struck out our boys with more rapidity
than was pleasant. ' Drummey gave him
excellent , support. Neal caught all the
balls that went to, right field and batted
well. Miles diti his duty at first, and
made two splendid hits. Childs played
"short" in fine style.
On the Seaside, Robins jn did the best as
an outfielder; one catch he made was
worthy the applause he received. Rosen
thal, though suffering from a sore ankle,
which prevented him moving about with
his accustomed quickness, held the first
bag well. Kurtz pitched a good game.
and when we consider that he
has been in the box for three
days without any relief his game yesterday
was remarkable. Litz caught as well as
could be expected, considering he was
facing a new pitcher for the first time, and
captured two or three foul tips gracefully.
Moore did the best batting of the nine.
There wiU be another game to-day. Dur
ham will have a new battery. The Seasides
are to be congratulated for their playing of
yesterday-. They held down a score against
a club which is without doubt the strongest
team that has ever been here. The grounds
will be open to-day to all ladies free of
charge, and we hope they will take advan
tage of this opportunity to see a fine game.
With Shaw and Drummey not playing as a
battery there is a good chance for the Sea
sides to win. We predicted that the home
boys would play good ball yesterday, and
thev did it: we hone to-dav thev will nlav

JTJctkodlat District Conference.
We learn that the interest in the Dis
trict Conference at Smithville increases at
every service, and a profitable session is
promised.
All the ministers of the District arc in
their places but two, and there is a full
representation of lay delegates.
Reports from the remainder of the pas
toral charges were given in yesterday.
They show about the same status of suc
cess. Rev. C. M. Pepper, of the Fayetteville
District, was introduced to the Conference.
The most interesting feature of yester
day's proceedings was the discussion of the
question of a division of the Conference. It
was participated in by several of the mem
bers and proved decided lively. The sen
timent of the District seems to be about
equally divided on this important question,
but some think the chances are that the
District will finally vote against division.
Dr. S. S: Batch well read a very interest
ing e3say yesterday, on "Ministerial Diet
and Health in Eastern North Carolina," in
which he argued against the prevalent be
lief that if a minister is called upon to
change his location from the Western to
the Eastern part of the State he will neces
sarily be unhealthy. He has given' the
matter a good deal of thought and investi
gation, and is of the opinion that such a
change will not of necessity be to the detri
ment of the minister so changing his loca
tion, and gave reasons for the faith that is
in him.
The work of the Conference will be fin
ished to day .
Attempted Incendiarism.
Wm. Halsey, colored, living on the south
side of Castle, next to the corner of Eighth
street, was awakened about 3 o'clock yes
terday morning by a roaring noise, and
jumped from his bed to find his back door
on fire. He - extinguished the flames as
quick as possible, when, upon examination, .
he discovered that an old basket, with
pieces or Daggmg ana,cmps oi unaung
wood had been placed on the upper step,
saturated with kerosene oil and fire set to it.

tery with a deadly weapon. Defendant

Shark Fishing.
Messrs. Maffitt and Corbitt had quite an
adventure with sharks on Thursday. We
mentioned that they had taken one huge
fellow in out of the wet. They were fish
ing for sharks, and the monster seized the
hook about one hundred yards from the
boat. He was then drawn in near the
boat and had to be shot eleven or twelve
limes before he finally "keeled over."
They had previously hooked one of the
same size, and he had been shot six times
with the rifle, when he succeeded in cut
ting the chain used for a line and went off
with the hook in his mouth. The sharks
struggled and floundered terribly after
being hooked, and great excitement existed
among the men, especialy when the mad
dened monsters would dart back and forth
under the boat, threatening every moment
to overturn it and throw the inmates into
the water, where they would have become
an easy prey to their sharkships. There
are plenty of the, monsters in the neighbor
hood of where Messrs. Maffitt and Corbett
were fishing, but they are not inclined, we
believe, to try their luck any further in
that direction.
Our Front Street Methodist
friends had a goodly number on their ex
cursion yesterday, and a fine day for a trip.
A CARD.
In reply to the card published in the
Wilmington Star by one of the engine
companies lately receiving us as their
guests, we have only a word to say. Af
ter the generous hospitality extended to ua
by the people of Wilmington, that noblest
of Southern cities, we are not going to be
drawn into a controversy with the Adrian
Fire Company. We will not accept an in
vitation to a gentleman's house, partake of
his gracious entertainment, and then quar
rel with him. We understand the decency
and propriety of life too well for this. We
were awarded the prizes by. the judges of
the contest, and the intelligent and fair
minded citizens of Wilmington are fully
informed of the facts. We believe that
they can and will take care of our reputa
tion and interest in this matter.
Respectfully,
Newbern S. F. E. Co.

MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP. Rev.

But
of Mrs. wmslow's Soothing s;
we can speak
from knowledge: in our own family it has proved
a blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled
with colic pains, quiet sleep, and the parents un
broken rest at night. Most parents can appre
ciate these blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is harmless; for
the sleep which It affords the infant is perfectly
natnral. and the little cherub awakes as "bright
as a button." And during the process of teeth-;
ing its value Is incalculable. We have frequent
ly heard mothers say that they would not be
without it from the birth of the child till itrhad
finished with the teething Biege, on any conside
ration whatever. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents
a bottle. ,
