J. Tillman Howard, who was serv
ing a twelve month's sentence in the
county work house for charges pre
ferred against him at the last session
of New Hanover Criminal Court
made his escape some time during
Monday night
The escape from the work house was
not a difficult task from all accounts,
as he is said to have enjoyed al
most the liberties of a free man. Su
perintendent Chad wick says the last
seen of the prisoner was at about dark
Monday night he was standing in
the yard. About 9 o'clock, the Super
intendent went to Howard's room and
found him gone.
It is the popular belief that after
leaving the work house in the country
Howard came to Wilmington and
went to Rocky Point or some nearby
town and boarded the excursion train
yesterday morning for Baltimore or
Washington.
At last accounts he has not been
captured.

SUCCESS IS ASSURED.
Business Men Subscribing Liber
ally to Athletic Associa
tion's Capital Stock.
DIRECTORS MET LAST NIGHT.
Stroirest and Most Inviicible Base Bill
la Her History Is Whit Wilmington
WIU Have The Osme With
Maxton Saturday.
The enthusiasm . and success which
has attended the special meetings held
Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. and
at the office of Mr. W. F. Robertson
last night looking to the organization
of a stock company for the maintenance
of a really first class base ball team,
afforded abundant assurance that dur
ing the remainder of this season and
for several seasons to come this city
will take that high position in State
and inter-State base ball circles which
Wilmington's social and commercial
importance so well entitle her.
As a result of these meetings not
only has the Wilmington Athletic
Association for the maintenance of a
first class team been organized, but
many substantial citizens have sub
scribed for stock, the canvassing com
mittee, consisting of Mr. W. H.
Sprunt Mr. W. C. VonGlahn, Mr. R.
W. Wallace,. Mr. N. N. Davis, Mr.
Jas. Sinclair and Mr. Jas. H. Cowan,
having reported at the meeting last
night very gratifying success in solicit
ing subscriptions to the capital stock
at $3.50 per share.
The association is in correspondence
with several players of wide repute
and high standing in base ball circles
with good assurance of engaging them
for at least the remainder of this sea
son. Among them are Sanders,
of Camden, S. C. ; Jack Johnson, of
Littleton ; Jessie Oldham, of Horner's
School ; W. B. LeGrand, of Tarboro.
Sanders is a pitcher, who is a real
artist in the mystery of "twirling puz
zlers" with the pig skin, and has done
highly creditable work with the teams
of many of the foremost colleges and
cities of the South. Jack Johnson, of
Littleton, is an especially strong sec
ond baseman. Jessie Oldham, of Hor
ner's School, is said to be one of the
best all round players in the State.
And as a catcher W. P. LeGrand, of
Tarboro, is said to have no amateur
superiors and few equals.
All of these players are good all
round players and can in fact play well
In any position that may be assigned
them and pitted with the best players
of the present Wilmington team can
most probably put up so formidable a
game that few if any teams in the
State can cope with them.
A member of the Stab staff was told
last night that there is every reason to
believe that all the players' mentioned
above will be booked at least for the
remainder of the season and will very
probably be here early next week ready
to go upon the diamond. With A 1
players under the management of
a company of gentlemen so well quali
fied for the work as those by whom the
Wilmington Alhletic Association is
officered and backed by the leading
citizens, Wilmington can very soon
take a position in the very front rank
of base ball circles: The officers as
elected Monday night are as follows:
President W. F. Robertson.
Secretary and Treasurer C. E. Tay
lor, Jr.
Board of Directors W. F. Robert
son, C. E. Taylor, Jr., Nixon N.
Davis, J. McRee Hatch and James Sin
clair. During the meeting of the directors
and others last night Mr. Jas. H.
Cowan was added to the board and
assigned to duty as advertising man
ager for the association. During the
meeting the names of several well
known players other than those pre
viously referred to were suggested as
members of the base ball team.
The Game Saturday.
While the association team will not
be organized and ready for work Sat
urday, there will, nevertheless, be in
all probability one of the very best
games of the season on the Hilton
Park diamond on that afternoon, the
teams pitted being the Maxton "Red
Shirts" and a Wilmington team com
posed of the very best material of the
A. C. L. and O. A. N. teams, with
possibly two or three visitors. Of the
latter, Heiser, of Fort Caswell, and
Dupree will do the box work. The
Wilmington "fans" have very pleasant
recollections of the game between the
Wilmington and Maxton teams a few
weeks ago, it having been by odds the
closest, most scientific and really ex
citing contest of the season on Hilton
diamond. There is every reason to
believe that Saturday's game will in
no way be inferior to the first game.
Two Recruits Yesterday.
Two volunteers were enlisted for
service in the Philippines at the re
cruiting office here yesterday. They
are Joseph N. Britton and Jno. M.

took the oath of allegiance late yester
day afternoon. Lieutenant Griffin
aays that they will be furnished trans
portation to Camp lleade, as soon as

he had a large number of enquirers
for information yesterday, but only
two were enlisted.

LIVELY MUNICIPAL COURT.
Disturbers of the Peace In Fifth Ward
Paid Penalties for their Misdolnrs.
Other Cases.
Cases came up in the police court
yesterday morning against Oscar
Watson, George Herbert and Fire
men C. A. Montgomery and T. B.
Jackson, of Engine Company No. 2,
which is located at corner Sixth and
Castle streets.
It appeared, from the evidence at the
trial yesterday that on Monday after
noon the vicinity of Engine House
No. 2 was the scene of many fisti
cuffs and scrimmages participated in by
several firemen on the one hand and
a number of over exuberant and in
toxicated citizens on the other.
Fireman Montgomery and George
Herbert opened the bellicose demon
strations about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. They fought over a trivial dis
pute concerning a negro and a water
melon and were brought down by
Policemau Winner. Herbert was
fined $5 and Montgomery was given a
similar penalty, but the fine was after
wards remitted, it having appeared
from subsequent testimony that Mont
gomery was partially justifiable by
reason of great provocation.
About, 7 o'clock, as Fireman T.
B. Jackson was returning from
supper, he was set upon by Herbert
and Oscar Watson, the latter
having approached Jackson with
a long butcher's knife from
Thorp's meat stand oa Castle be
tween Sixth and Seventh streets.
Jackson had been forewarned of such
an attack, however, and as he was ac
costed by Herbert, he drew his pistol
and bade his assailant and Watson de
fiance. Policemen arrested the three
and brought them to the City HalL
Mayor Waddell, who heard the case,
decided that Fireman Jackson was per
fectly justifiable in his actions and
he was discharged. Herbert was fined
$25 dollars for conspiracy and Watson
was committed to jail in default of
$100 bond for his appearance at the
August term of New Hanover Crimi
nal Court to answer the charge of as
sault and battery with a deadly weap
on. Watson was also fined $5 in a
second case for disorderly conduct.
Firemen at this engine house are
compelled to make complaints of being
frequently harassed in the manner de
scribed , and they claim their actions
on the occasion of the fight was to
protect their rights.
Other cases tried yesterday were
Millie Hayes, colored, disorderly con
duct; dismissed on account of insanity.
M. G. Silvia, drunk; fined $5. Hen
derson Hays, colored, disorderly con
duct; twenty days on the streets.
Tony Black, Monk Bunfel, Zedrick
Stevens, all colored, disorderly con
duct; 10 days ss ntence on the streets.

MINSTRELS AT CAROLINA BEACH.

ployed for Free Entertainment.
The late afternoon and evening trips
on the steamer Wilmington to Caro
lina Beach and to the pier are becom
ing more and more popular as the sea

On Friday night it is the purpose of
Capt Harper to provide more than the
usual attraction at the beach for the
benefit of Carolina visitors, and he has
therefore engaged the Phillips Colored
Minstrel troupe, of this city, to give a
performance free to all passengers on
the boats that day, a ticket on the
steamer admitting to the show.
The Phillips minstrels held the
boards at the Opera House in Wil

TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
Eastern Carolina the Ideal Section for the
Cultivation of Yellow Leaf.
In conversation with a Stab re
porter yesterday a gentleman from
Winston, who has for years been
identified with the tobacco manufac
turing industry of that city, remarked
that Eastern North Carolina was the
ideal section for the cultivation of
yellow leaf tobacco, that the soil was
better adapted to it, would yield more
per acre than the soil in other tobacco
growing sections of the State would,
and that it could be produced so
much more cheaply that the growers
in the upper tobacco, belt would be
forced to abandon its culture and con
fine themselves to the growing of the
other kinds, for which the soil is bet
ter suited. He also stated that while
this was true of Eastern North Caro
lina as a whole, the very best section
for the cultivation of the light yellow
leaf was between Wilmington and
Mount Olive, on light lands which
are not highly valued for any other
crop, and that if the proper effort was
made to introduce the culture in this
area Wilmington might become a
great tobacco shipping point and han
dle vast quantities of the weed.
Not Until Next Week.
Unfavorable weather conditions
have necessitated the postponement
of the Carolina Beach excursion to
have been run to-day on the steamer
Wilmington by Howard Relief Fire
Engine Co. It will now be on some
day next week, the exact date to be
announced later. In consequence of
the postponement of the excursion
there will be no dance at Hanover
Seaside Club to-night The excursion
committee consisting of Messrs. Charles
Schnibben, J. W. Duls, Henry Bur
feindt, E. P. H. Strunch. George
Tienken and P. N. Fick, promise one
of the most enjoyable events of the
season when the excursion is run.
Will Play Thursday Nifht.
The concert by the Second Regiment
Band at the New Ocean View Hotel
on Wrightsville Beach will be given
on Thursday instead of Wednesday
night As previously announced Mrs.
Mayo extends a cordial invitation to

immense improvement and the
