This score tells the result of the hardest fought athletic battle ever played on Wilmington soil. The University boys, with brilliant interference and magnifi cent team work, failed to conquer the strong, sturdy Wilniingtonians. The entire game was characterized by fair ness of playing and equally fairness of decisions on the part of the referee and umpire. : -: v- S Eleven hundred people witnessed the game, a jolly crowd, over which floated the royal purple and old gold, with an occasional blending of white and blue.' After some- discusnon regarding the length "of tne halves "to. be plaved, the1 two captains decided that twenty-five minutes would be tbe proper caper; so at 8.10 Referee W. J. Bellamy called tbe game. -Wilmington won the toss and chose to defend tbe south goal. Wm. Bellamy (U. N. C.) did the honors as referee, J. D. Bellamy. Jr. 8rd, filled the umpire's position and S. Merrill acted as linesman. The two teams lined up as follows: - -"" U, N.

Hayes ? two and . Osborne ' chips in a three spot. Time called. Sawyer hurt. Play resumed -Tate pushes the ball for three yards. Osborne makes no gain and the great Thanksgiving battle of 98 is over with the orange and purple again on top.; . t . .- ; The game was undoubtedly a magnifi cent exhibition of scientific foot ball playing, but the heavy weight of the Wilmington boys enabled them to take the bull ; by the ' horns." Both teams played an elegant game, but a little in dividual criticism would not be amiss at this point. For U. N. - C. - Tate un doubtedly played the star game, and in fact, proved himself the best player on either team. Buxton, Hayes aad Collins each played good bail and in a manner which showed very clearly they knew hat they -were about. McKee. the Varsity's quarter back and captain, played a gritty and heady game of ball, being cooi acd collected and getting in every scrimmage. -The line work was good and they deserve credit for the manner in which tbey withstood the on slaughts of Wilmington's giants. For Wilmington, it is a tie between Robbins and Southerland as to which played the best game aad as discussion is not- in order- we ' will let honors rest easy. Latham 'played; a magnificent j game, never : failing to be in i the right place , at the b right - time and - tackling like a fiend. Peschau plaved the game of his life, and his bead work was first class, he never failing to grasp every weak spot at the right time. ; King played . nis usual nne same at centre, breaking through the line and following the ball with tbe eye of an eagle. The playing of. Watson was strong and . determined, setting long gains whenever he was called on. Sawyer played a gritty game of ball. tackled accurately and got into the in terference nicely. - In fact, to enumerate the good points of each of the team would occupy too much space, as all played a wonderful game. The N. C University boys during their stay in Wilmington have made a host of friends, leaving an enviable rep utation in this cityT - : The team was composed of a manly, courteous set of young men.; represent ing some of North Carolina's most dis tinguished families. The Wilmingto nians exerted themselves to the utmost, contributing ; all the pleasure possible during their short stay in our midst. ,'Capt. KcKee -aad John Tate, who made the brilliant run of ninety yards, were the ' heroes of tbe visitors - and voted by all two of the finest. It was indeed- unfortunate for the "Varsity that Tate ran outside, as be vcu'd have scored a touch-down, doubt less, m iking an even score. All sincerely hope that the day is not far distant when Wilmington will again be honored by a contest with the "team from Chapel Hill." ENGINEER KILLED. Bear-Bad, Collision on the Carolina Central An accident occurred last Thursday morning on the Carolina Central rail road, near Liurel Hill, in which en gineer Will Clayton was instantly killed and several train hands were slightly injured.-- ' '' "a-."" - '; ; At 6 80 Wednesday evening a freight train.with sleeping car attached, left Wil mington for Hamlet and was followed two hours later by a freight train In charge of engineer Clayton.' At Laurel Hill, when tbe combination car arrived, some freight cars had to be shifted to a siding, and the sleeper with two or three box cars were detached and left on the main track while the shifting was being done. Mr. E. L. Martin was in the sleeper. There was a heavy fog and through this the extra ' freight train ' came at full : speed and dashed into the cars standing on the main line. Engineer Clayton reversed his engine and at tempted to jump from the cab, but was caught by the tender and crushed to death. Mr. Martin, the lone occupant of the, sleeper into which the engine dasbed, was thrown from his berth but escaped injury.

Months ago tbe an nouncement . was made - otnciallv bv Chairman Aver that the Populists had 65.000 voters in the State and possibly more. Ail tne ropuiist snouters hol lered louder, some claiming as many as 90.000 votes. The vote, shows that the Populists have not over 81,000 votes in the State. Maj.

In the second ball tbe slugging that had been slyly done In the first half devel oped into open scrimmages. The rooters ot the two teams, seeing what was going on, surged into the field, and for ten minutes there was a free for all knock down and drag out fight, in which fists, feet, fence pickets and canes were wielded with a vengeance, tbe result be ing tbat Sam Burkbeim, of Jacksonville, bad his head cut open with a tin born, His opponent, M. Cohen, of Savannah, was made as bloody as a beef, and dozen or more on each side were slven black eyes and bleeding noses. When Cohen struck Sam Burkheim with a tin born and cut his head so that his face was soon bathed in blood, a crowd rushed lor Cohen and in a half minute had used him up badly, and had it not been for police interference Cohen would have suffered serious injury, but officers - succeeded in rushing ; him through . tbe crowd out of the gates .and off to town.
