Material of tne 86 vers I Clubs-New York r Has i be Stronge. t ' Pitohera 8peoula .'. tion a to the Wlnne of the Peonant. A base-ball expert speculates as fol lows on the outcome of the work of the National League this. season: The one great query jast now is, Who will win the pennant this year?. Some body may guess it; no one can answer it. There is an - adage which has existed since the game became professional: "Base-ball is mighty uncertain." So much depends upon what is called luck good and bad in the game. Ac cidents necessarily happen to players, and some teams meet with more than their proportionate shares. Sometimes the very players upon whom the club depends most for its prospects fail or tali off in the standard of their previous vcar's work. All these elements of s doubt make forecasting the final results a very difficult proceeding. It is this very uncertainty, coupled with the posi tive knowledge that the game is hon estly and fairly played, which makes it such DODular SDort with the masses. A Cincinnati newspaper, year before last, offered a monetary prize to the first reader who should send to tbe office a correct guess, placing the twelve clubs in the order in whichthey should close the race. Nearly 20.000 guesses were filed, and in not one case was the com bination named the correct one. The guesser who came nearest to the result had the first seven clubs right, but failed on the eighth. . As yet Louisville has made no claim for pennant honors, but recently in the breast- of local fans there is some hope. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Washington are also not making any promises as to what they will do with the silk flag at the close of the season. That the Lou isville team will cut a big figure in the race is believed bv those who have seen the players together. - At least seven of the twelve clubs have chances to win. Five of the seven go into the fight bunched in public favor, and very nearly equal so far as can be judged this early in the year. The five are: New York. Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cleveland. The Brook lyns and tbe Pittsbufghs will bear watch ing. If any team has. more than aitou chance for the oennant. at the best, tbe knowledge of it is concealed. However, the five mentioned clubs are each mak ing great claims for the pennant. The New York's great predominant strength lies in their pitchers. Rusie and Meakin when "good" have no piers in tbe League. That tfact is conceded by all their opponents, each of whom, to offset the concession, has asked: What if. one of the two should get disabled ? That is banking on a possibility which hangs over every other club. Rnsie and Meekin in form are in a class by them selves. Last year neither worked up to a his abilities until the end of June, and in that time tbe team lost enough games through weak pitching to cost him the pennant. As a team Boston has no equal. The cry, "Look out for the Phillies," is rais ed every year. This is. the greatest batting-team in the League, but it is weak in pitching material. Baltimore is an uncertain quantity, capable. of causing any sort of surprise. Cleveland has a strong team which will bear watching. If the opinions of managers as ex pressed below be carefully considered and compared they will be found to pretty generally agree in pointing towards tbe Bostons and Pniladelphias as the most probable winners on paper prior to the season's opening. Last Spring, had similar information been sought, Boston. Philadelphia and Pitts burg would have been named, in that order, yet their teams finished third, fourth and seventh. The New Yorks -last Spring were not rated better than fifth by any two manages of the League. It is, therefore. significaVj that they are generally accorded a better or higher place in the race than tney were one year ago. THE TELEPHONE CASE. The Grounda. Assigned dt he Supremo - Court for Granting a Ndw Iliel. The following, from . the News and Observer, is a synopsis of the decision of the Supreme Court "(heretofore men tioned in the Star) In the case of D. M. Williams vs. the Southern' Bell Tele phone Company, in which a new trial was granted defendant: Duncan M. William vs. The Southern . Bell Telephone Company (appellant) ' from New Hanover county. Opinion by Furches, I; 1. State Courts have no right to en tertain or consider a motion for removal based upon the "ground of local preju dice. , 2 When the term, of the Court ended April 20th and the defendant's petition and bond for removal were filed June 14tb; Held. That by such delay the defendant for feited all rights it may have had to a removal, and tbe Court lost its power to make tbe removal. Distinguishing Wilcox vs. Insurance Company, where the order of an Court extended the time. 8. Where, in an action for damages caused by the negligence of the defen dant's alleged servant tbe plaintiff testi fied as to a statement made by C, the general manager of the defendant com pany some months alter he received the injury complained of, that "I found out afterwards; Mr. C. told me that tbe darkey was one of tne company's ser vants, working for them at tbe time;" Held, that although C. was general man ager of the defendant, he is still but an employed, and not the defendant, and any statement of his was not a part of the res gestae buthearsay and incompe tent. 4. As the admission in the affidavit of the defendant is not equivalent to tbe declaration of C as testified to by the plaintiff, and where the Judge in charg ing the jury did not refer to tbe affi davit in any manner whatever, but called the attention of the jury especially to the declaration of C, Held, that the error in admitting the declaration of C was not cured, and the probable influ ence of such charge and declaration upon the verdict of the jury entitles the defendant to a new trial.

One of the saddest funerals ever seen in Wilmington was that of Mrs. Florence Westbrook, wife of Mr. Samuel W. Westbrook, yesterday afternoon, from Grace M. E. Church, of which deceassd was a member. The church was crowded to its doors. The services, were con ducted by Rev. Mr. Norman, pastor ot the church, assisted by Rev. Robert Strange, rector ot St. James' and Rev. A. D. Mc Clure, pastor of St. Andrew's Church. The music was by a quartette from the .choir of St. James' Misses Minnie Scbwarz, Jennie Cameron and Messrs. Alex. S. Holden and JnOv Baker, with Mr. E. P. Boatwright at the organ. The choir sung, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus," "I Would fcot Live Always." and "Asleep m Jesus." The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful, ranging from tbe single basket of flowers to the most handsome and elaborate designs, offerings from so cieties and organizations Mrs. Westbrook bad at different times assisted in musi cal entertainments. ' After services at the church wete con cluded tbe funeral cortege followed the remains to Oakdale Cemetery, where the interment took place. The pall bearers were: Active Messrs. Charles H. Rob inson, Jr., J, D. Nutt, E. A. Hawes, Louis Skinner, Beniamin Jacobs, Chas. Foard; Honorary Dr. W. J. Love. Captain Jno. H. Daniel, Messrs. H. M. Emerson, W. J. Woodward. Criminal Circuit Court. Judge O. P. Meares, of the Criminal Circuit Court, will hold court for Meck lenburg county in Charlotte next week, and the week following in Lumberton, for Robeson county. Mr. C. A. Cook has brought action in shape of a quo warranto against Judge Meares, returnable to the next term of the New Hanover Superior Court, Judge Hoke presiding, which will meet in this city on the 15th inst. So, the case will be heard at that term and will then be taken on appeal to the Supreme Court now in session in Ral eigh. A decision will probably be ren dered by the first of May, next. Judge Russell, of Wilmington. L. C. Edwards, of Granville county, and T. P. Deve feux, of .Raleigh, are Mr. Cook's counsel, and Geo. Rountree, of this city, and Bur well & Walker, of Charlotte, counsel for Judge Meares. "WANG." " At the Opera House To-NUht. -UWang" wiitb Its wealth of former prosperity comes this season with every thing bright and new. Preparation for the tour has been goingo n the past Sum mer with a costly elaboration that utter ly ignored hard times. It will be seen at the Oprea House to-night in all its splendor and already the demand for seats is large. "Wang" has but two acts, yet the drops spoken of for its produc tion will cost several thousands, while the total bill for scenery and accessories will probably reach $15,000. This is but little more than the avereage cost of mounting comic operas in these days. When it is considered that these figures do not include thousands spent on costumes, nor the further thousands required for lithographic work, tbe thou sands for the railroad transportation for nearly a hundred people, and tbe thou sands necessary to have to fall back upon for salaries in case of bad business, it can readily be imagined that the theatrical business, especially in the department' of comic opera, is one requiring abnormal business qualifications as well as almost unlimited capital. TAYLOR'S BAZAAK. Spring OpenioK-Handaome Display of Mil linery. Tavlor's Bazaar.
