Earthquake shocks were felt at manv places in Pennsylvania, New Jer s?y and New York; ptopie weie frightened, but no damage was done, At Berlin German American vete rans were given the place of honor in the . versary of the-fall -of Sedan. A wild engine on the Sea Beach Railroad, Coney Island, crashed into the rear end of a train which was on her way to Coney Island; more than forty passengers were iojuredj.

Cholera seems to have, a pretty tight grip on Pekin, China, where ac cording to the dispatches there have been 40,000 deaths during the month of August. - The New York Tribune objects to the words "bike," and "electro cute." The Richmond Dispatch thinks bike all right, but can't see anything cute in electrocute. Two Richmond inventors have in vented an improved fishplate for use on railroads which they claim will make a spreading rail an impossi bility, and will also prevent the mashing of rail ends. There is a fortune of $100,000 waiting for Parker Valentine, for merly of Indiana, but he is afraid to come out and get it, because he killed a man some years ago in Min nesota, and he is afraid to take the chances of a trial for murder, i Mr. Eckels, Comptroller of the Treasury, says the greenbacks are Payable m silver or gold, but it is tlle greenback which depletes the Treasury of its gold. Well, why then Pay gold ? Why not pay what the few provides, either silver or gold? h is claimed that the shipment of horse meat from this country is in juring the meat business abroad, and therefore Secretary Morton has or dered that meat for shipment be in spected, and that horsemeat shall be so marked as to show what it is with out biting. VOL. LVL-NO. The mule iff- frolicsome and mis chievous, but not as a rule revenge ful, though there are exceptions to this, as in the case of a mule in an Ohio coal mine, which had patiently submitted to being cruelly beaten by its driver, but which the' other day re versed the order of proceedines bv jumping onthe driver and ' tramping and biting him almost to death. As sistance came in time to prevent the mule from doing him up for good. i, Inview,of the late scrimmaee in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia North American, a Quay organ, rises to re mark: "We are still all Republicans, a-tbe Democrats will discover the day after the election." It must be remarked that however the Republi cans may claw each other and make the fur fly before their conventions they hive a wonderful hack of get ting together when the nip and tuck with the other fellows comes. It is said that Quay, who so clever ly knocked the other fellows out in Pennsylvania the other day, is fixing his wires to be the boss man of the Republican National Committee, and Mr. Harrison's friends . don't like that. Quay, with Pennsylvania in one hand, is bad enough for Benja min H., but with the National Com mittee in the other it would be sev eral times worse. If , one-half what some of the doctors say about the bicycle be true its inventor will have a fearful score to face. With all the other evils which it is said habitual riding will cause, an Illinois doctor says that within a generation the race of riders will become parrot-toed, and then the parrot toe will become hereditary. Lots of parrot heads are hereditary now. Boston claims to be the "hub," and we expect she is. According to a late census the State of Massachu setts is given an increase of 553,204 in population, of which all but 53, 200 was in the cities, and of the whole 270,000 was in tqwns within ten miles of Boston. The returns to the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture indicate a wheat crop of 400,017,000 bushels, which would leave about 100,000,000 bush els for export. The crop of Argentina is estimated at about 61,000,000 bush els, of Russia at 415,000,000 and of India at 237,456,000. We take it for granted that the poor people of Havre, France, do not indulge in much chicken pie, when chickens sell, as reported by our consul there, at from $1 to $2 a piece, according to size, nor in much beef when good cuts of that sell from 45 to 50 cents a pound. Prof. CalderwoorJ, of Edinburg University, would make a good policeman. He never forgets a face. He never forgets any of the young men who study under him, although they number about 200 a year. When a New York milkman waters his milk he does it at the peril of be fined if caught from $50 to $100, but the railroad manipulator may water bis stock ad libitum and there is no one to call him to taw.

The Charlotte Team Attain Bsaten Boore . . 8 to 9-Another Game to t9 Played To-day. "J ' . The game of base ball yesterday after noon between the Quicksteps; cf Char lotte, and the Blackstockings, was one of the best ever played on the Hilton Park diamond. ; Both teams played great ball and the several hundred persons who witnessed it were enthusiastic in their comment on the playing dons by each side.-.;--' ;V- - " - '- . Schenck, who has been sick with a bad knee, which was skinned while slid ing for a base in Charlotte, didn't do his usual good work. He tried to pitch, but allowed the Quicksteps to make seven runs in the first inning. The grand stand then yelled for Addison, the 'old stand-by of the Blackstockings, and when he went into the pitcher's box in the second inning Wilmington's colored team braced up and made run after run, while Charlotte scored only one more, which was in the eighth inning. Mr. W. P. Oldham, Jr., umpired the game, and Charlotte made no kick. Addison's pitching-was great. Moseley, of the Blackstockings, does noble work behind the bat. The name of "Trilby"' was given him in Charlotte as the best catcher that has ever' been on their diamond. The following is the score by innings: Innings... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 & 9 T'l uicksteps.... lackstockings. 70Q000010 113 2 2 0 0 0 1 One double play in the sixth inning by Wilmington. - - As the Charlotte team has played in hard luck and lost the $125 in gold put up, the Street Railway Company 'has retained them for three days to play for sixty and forty per cent, of the gate re ceipts respectively, the winners first and the losers second, which has caused a quarrel between the teams and both will play hard ball to win. Charlie Burnett will pitch for the Blackstockings to-day and betting is heavy witb odds for Charlotte. Last night Schenck's team was paid off with what they had won. BOARD OF HEALTH. Dr. J. C.

Crops In Bladen. ' Capt, T. J. Green, of White Hall, who was in the city yesterday, gives a good account of crops in Bladen. Corn is fine, and cotton very good, though the. acreage of the latter is less than last year. The danger to corn in the lowlands from overflow is not yet entirely passed, but the chances favor exemption from that danger. Should the farmers harvest a full crop on the river lands they will be in better nnanciai condition tnan ior several years Crops of Com and Birds. Mr. John F. Taylor, who lives three miles from Magnolia, was a visitor at the Star office yesterday. He reports a good corn crop, and cotton looking very well. The partridge crop, how ever, is very short.

There should be a State Baseball League next year, and Wilmington ought to take the initiative. It is the largest city in the State and has more true lovers of the "American game" than any other. The very large attendance at Hilton Park during the past few days to witness the contest be tween the colored clubs shows that Wilmington appreciates and . will patronize liberally a good game of ball; and if we could have such games be- I- tween clubs composed of whites the at tendance would be much larger. Let us get up a stock company. Fix the value of shares at $10.00 each, pay able Lin monthly instalments of $2.00. Work should be begun at once, and $2,000 should be raised.
