A boot Peaches,
Notwithstanding its proximity to
South Carolina and Georgia, we
doubt if there is a city of its size in
the United States that is so poorly
supplied with peaches throughout the
season as is Wilmington. North Car
olina has not made very much prog
ress in peach culture, but even from
the crop produced in our own State
our market might be much better
supplied than it is. Our pears come
from Florida and California, our
apples from New York, and our
peaches from well, from nowhere
We hope to see some enterprising
house like that of Mrs. E. Warren &

BASE HALL.
Tbe Gam Yesterday Henderson 19,
Wilmington S.
Regardless of the large attendance
at yesterday's game and the lusty
cheering of the home crowd, our boys
could not score a victory. The same
old Jonah that has attended them
for some time still remains on deck.
and defeat after defeat is piled up
against them, no matter with whom
they play. There is an inability to
hit the ball and an unaccountable
ooseness of play at critical junctures
that always displays itself and gives
their opponents opportunities to
score. We confess we cannot point
out a remedy. Fate seems against
them, but we live in hope that the old
time skillwill shortly return, when we
will have the pleasure of chronicling
a victory for them.
The Henderson nine played a good
game and Overton who caught Tues
day with such credit to himself, ap
peared yesterday on .the box and
puzzled the batters of the Seaside
with his curves. He was hit but lit
tle and all the- hits were scattering,
and yielded but little. Hart did
splendid service at first, and mode
several pick-ups of "short bounds'
that were admirable. He is a splen
did man on the bag and did excel-
ent work for his team yesterday.
The next game will take place on
riday when these same nines will
contest for the honor of a game, and
we sincerely hope that when the
game is completed the musically in
clined can whistle something more
inspiring and consoling than the
chorus, "All the world is dark and
dreary," as was the case yesterday
with the whistling boys when they
saw that a defeat of the home team
was inevitable.
Below is the score:

A member of the jury which con

now under sentence of death for
burglary, is circulating a petition for
the commutation of the sentence of
the prisoner to imprisonment for life
in the State Penitentiary.
At yesterday morning's session of
the Criminal Court, Mr. J. T. Elliott,
of counsel for Jones, stated to the
Court that after consultation with his
associate. Mr. R. H. McKoy, they
had agreed to ask that a motion be
heard to oppose the sentence pro
nounced. Judge Meares said that he
would consider the matter and give
his decision to-day, as to whether he
would hear the motion. It is held by
Jones' counsel: "First, That the Su
preme Court have declared that the
late legislative enactment authorizing
the Governor to designate the time
and command the execution of sen
tence in capital cases where the judg
ment of the Court below is
confirmed, has no relation to
cases brought up before the pas
sage of the act; and secondly, that
the Legislature having expressly de
prived by its enactment the Court
from pronouncing sentence, that
power is divested, by implication of
law, if not in express terms."
Mr. Elliott asked for the opinion
of the Supreme Court in the case from
Union county purporting to control
the case of Jones, but it could not be
found.

they rendered some excellent music at

ladies and were immensely enjoyed

A Boardlac Roboory Arrest of
m Snsoortcd Party.
Lewis Whiting, a book agent, was
arrested yesterday morning about 1
o'clock, on the charge of larceny, and
ocked up In the city prison. The
arrest was made at the instance Of
Detective Vick Carr, by police officers
Brinkley and Bowden, at a disreputa
ble house on the corner of Eighth
and Campbell streets.
Whiting is charged with having
robbed Mr. I. J. Moore, a fellow
boarder at the house of Mr. Reuben
Jones, on South Seventh 6treet, of
$335 in money. The robbery was
committed last Sunday. Mr. Moore
had the money, a roll of bills, in the
inside pocket of his vest. During the
forenoon he took, off his vest and
hung it up in his room, and later in
the day he discovered that his money
was gone. Whiting hod been in the
room. Mr. Moore told Whiting of
his loss and the latter went
with him to Chief of Police
Brock, who advised that the case
be placed in the hands of j Detec
tive Carr. The detective, after an
examination, suspected Whiting of
the robbery and has been closely
shadowing him ever since. He fol-
owed Whiting on the excursion np
the W. & W. road Monday, to Golds
boro and back that night. During
Tuesday he found that Whiting had
bought a new suit of clothes for
which he paid 10, had paid $30 on
an old board bill, and also paid his
and lady, Mrs. Jones, fS.
So far as the reporter could learn,
this is about all the evidence devel
oped. The case will come up for a
bearing this morning before Mayor
owler, when other evidencelmay be
adduced.
Yesterday afternoon two young
men called upon Whiting. They
said that he was a native of Australia
and came here from Canada. He
haa 1)een in the city about three
months, selling bibles and other books
on the instalment plan, and had met
with good success. One of the young
men said that he accompanied Whi
ting on a collecting tour around the
city about the 5th inst., and that the
latter collected, he judged, between
$75 and $100. The other young man,
who keeps a store on Castle street,
accompanied Whiting on the trip to

Weather and tno Crops.
A correspondent of the Star at
Maxton writes on the 20th:
We had a good shower of rain early
Sunday morning, but with the in
tense hot sun following the effect was
not desirable to cotton or corn and it
was rather scalding. On Tuesday
evening we had a rainfall of 1.47
inches, considerable wind, slight hail.
No damage done of any consequence.
Crops are doing well since the rains
and our people are in better spirits.
The rain was local in its character
neighborhoods a few miles away had
none scarcely.

ting from Maxton, N. C, gives- the
following account of a sad occurrence
at Laurinburg on the 19th inst: "v
Our town was painfully shock euST.
upon hearing of the very sadden
death of a lady of Laurinburg, known - x
quite well here Mrs. MinniePhillips,
wife of Mr. H. Phillips and daughter
of A. J. O'Hanlon, Esq., of Fayette-
ville. She had been suffering . "
tensely with neuralgia for several ' -' .
days and sought relief from pain .by - f.
taking laudanum. After taking one " j
dose, it is supposed that not expe- V
riencing relief she repeated the dose .
and took too much. She aroused -.f
her husband, who was asleep at her ' '
bedside in a chair, and told him wbat.',
she had done. He hastily summoned. Ct"
a physician, but she. was beyond UC
human aid, and died at",!) o'clock In :
the morning. The stricken husband: 'S
and sorely bereft parents have the ' . 1
heart-felt sympathy of every one. . '
