It was plainly evident at Hilton Park yesterday afternoon that Fred. Pearsall is the star pitcher of the Wilmington Base Ball Club. This will be the best kind of news to his friends and a con siderable damper to the hopes and am bitions of visiting teams who have been figuring on having all kinds of picnics when they meet the Wilmington team. It looked good to see the cool and im perturbable Pearsall toss the sphere up elusively and make "play" of the hard hitters of the Confidence team. A small audience saw the Wilming ton team do some of the prettiest bat ting which they have done this season. That feature, with PearsaU's excellent work, was what brought the Confidence team to grief yesterday afternoon. -They started at Watson, the Confidence pitcher, in a most business-like manner early in the game, and kept it up with a regularity that made Capt. Furlong nervous. The fielding and coaching of. Graham and the fine work of French, Bray, Zel lers, Belden and Stevens were also note worthy s features of the game. Capt. Williams, of the Wilmington team, went in to pitch in the sixth inning, and showed remarkable speed and command pf the ball. Assistant Captain Furlong, of the Wilmington team, did splendid work on the keystone bag. Stevens did some splendid work in left field, making some stops and catches that were simply marvelous. The score at the end of the ninth inning was Wilmington $; Confi dences. The Wilmington team will play Sum ter week after next. . Bound Bates C. V. & X. V. B. B. The C.F. & Y. V. R.

The members of the Reserves met at their armory at 4 o'clock, and with guns and paraphernalia went aboard and were at once put to work sweeping the decks. cleaning and brightening the howitzers and brass work on , board. The broom brigade in charge of Amille Wessell and Anson King worked nobly. Several of the old men who attended cruises of and '94. had to laugh at the new tars, but when they realized that Howard and Myers were among the old boys, they knew fun was in store. To-day the Reserves are ordered to report on board the Nantucket at 10 o'clock, preparatory to going' in com- mission at 12 o'clock. ' A number of prominent citizens will witness the going into commission of a U. S. warship to day. Among the visitors who saw the boys at work and were shown around the ship were Messrs. H. A.

ABOUT COTTON. 1 Habbard Bros. & Co. Weekly Lit :r Crop Prospects and Estimate Price Not L-ikoly to Rule Lower. New York, Aug. 2nd. 1895. i Dear Sirs: In the nature of things, it was not to be expected that the re cent crop estimate or opinion of Mr. H. H. NeilL of New Orleans, would oass unchallenged; and from New Orleans and from the Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture have come criticisms and further opinions, which, in the present dull condition of the market and with the wide opportunity for diverse views, have given Cause for some comment. It is pointed out -that Mr. Neill has hot made allowance for the decrease in the use of fertilizers, and various results are reached. Mr. H. D. Lane, the Alabama Commissioner, asserts that 8.000,000 bales is the maximum figure, and that possibly 7,000,000 will be nearer the mark. A New York guesser estimates 8.350,000 as likely, provided always that the weather for the next thirty or fifty days is propitious. Discussion of these various possibilities serves to relieve tbe tedium of a very dull period. . Tbe market during the past week has been lethargic. Prices have varied but little. October deliveries on the 21th of July closed at 6.88 to 6.89; on the 31st the close was at 6.90 to 6.91. Five points decline marks the lowest figure of t week. The absence of speculation is a continuing feature. But while new ad venturers are loth to enter tbe market, those who have bought in the confidence that cotton will not. under the imptbved and improving trade conditions, remain quiescent, retain the courage of their convictions. When shaken out of their August purchases, as many were by tbe tenders on the 26th, the holdings were transferred to the Fall and later posi tions, and prices were unaffected by the Change. This tenacity ot conviction is worthy of success. Liverpool has given tittle encourage- ment, and the daily tales of spot cotton there appear to verify the reports from Manchester tnat business has been de pressed. The trade abroad is waiting further crop developments, unwilling to accept as a fact the,dama&e to the crop, and also unwilling7 to believe that its backward condition is worthy of consid eration. That the crop is late the lack of the usual early receipts indicates, and the Government weekly weather and crop bulletin reports a less favorable progress than during the preceding week. Louisiana and Arkansas have had too much rain, the plant fruiting poorly; Texas is one to three weeks late, below the average for this sea- on of tbe year, and irregular in size. Mississippi crop grassy, in fact, where the greater ? proportion of the crop is raised, the indications are not favorable tor a lull yield, and while perfect weather would make a radical difference in the result, it is hardly prob able that weather to suit the varying re quirements in diverse localities will be forthcoming. But this, of course, is speculation. The crop is late, small in many places, overgrown from too much rain in others. The result at this stage is necessarily conjectural, positive opin ions are idle, and some are destined to a rude shattering. Meanwhile, there is an improving demand fospot cotton, and enquiries from, and sales to spinners in dicate the persistence ot a better condi tion of trade. This is noted by the mer cantile journals, and the preva lent midsummer dullness in cotton is not destined to be of long duration. The trade appears intuitively aware of this, and few in it are willing to identify, them selves with the "short side." The ad vance from the lowest figures is consid ered about parallel with the ameliora tion of the business distress which pre vailed when cotton was at its full ebb; and with the great possibilities of fur ther improving demand, it is not thought conservative judgment to act upon an assumption that the staple may rule lower, we share in that opinion. CORBETT AND FITZSIMMONS-. It Seems That There Will Be no Texas Law to Prevent the Fight Alter September 1. Dallas, Tex., August 1. Ex-Circuit Judge Charles F. Ticker, who for many years sat upon the bench and greatly distinguished himself for his legal abil ity, and who is regarded as having one of the clearest legal minds in Texas, states the law governing prize fighting as follows: "The last legislature adopted , a new criminal code, in. which it made prize fighting a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, and imprisonment for thirty days. This law went into operation July 29, just passed. That legislature also subsequently passed a civil code, and in it enacted thatangnt may tase place by taking out a license of $500. This law goes into effect September 1, or thirty days before the Corbett-Fitzsim mons contest. There is no doubt our Supreme Court will hold that this is or will be tbe law after the first day of Sep tember. The civil code was adopted last, and therefore takes precedence over tbe other. This opinion or rather statement ol facts about these laws is concurred in bv every lawyer in Dallas who has read them, and it will be seen there is no power to prevent the fight taking place, Around Headquarters to-oay every thing is quiet. The sale of seats goes merrily along, not to toughs, tor they have no money to pay the price, but to railroad magnates and bank people. It is singular that more railway omciais have bought tickets than any other class, There are just as many peo pie looking for houses to rent this year as ever. If you have a vacant house to rent advertise it in the Star's Business Locals. Only one cent a word. But no advertisement taken for less than 20 cents. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The CAROLINA MUTUAL is a strong NORTH CAROLINA Com pany. ; It is, however, a stock com pany, and issues absolutely non-participating and non-assessable poli cies. Its mutual feature consists in a charter provision, that one-third of its directors must be POLICY HOLDERS who are NOT stock holders elected by the POLICY-' HOLDERS; this is a very strong point, the policy-holders who have great interests at stake, have a share in the management of the Company, and will always know its condition. Better than this, the CAROLINA MUTUAL deposits all premiums re ceived at this agency to their credit With the WILMINGTON SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY. This makes it practically a local company The directors of the company are ; ., P. M. BROWN. -: Of Brown, Weddineton & Co., 1 Wholesale Hardware. E. B. SPRINGS. Of E. B. Springs & Co..
