The three quarantine officers guard ing the trains into Wilmington to pre vent a possible introduction of the yel low fever into Wilmington from the infected districts in Virginia, report that they are exercising - a strict look out for all passengers from that sec tion and that the quarantine is being managed very smoothly. Capt. Robert Green, chief officer, re ceived a telegram yesterday from Policeman Woebse stationed at Rocky Mount, and a letter from Capt. Wig gins at Newbern, setting forth the facts as stated. Capt Wiggins said in his letter that Newbern had established a semi-official quarantine against about the same points as Wilmington, but no alarm was felt there. No additional quarantines were esUblished by Wilmington's Board of Health yesterday, but the office of the Siinerintendent was besieged with ap plicants for health certificates, who wanted them more as a matter or con venience than of real need. Iaspectloa of the Beach. Superintendent of Health McMillan and Inspector Kirschbaum went down to Wrightsville Beach yesterday morning to make a sanitary inspection of the cottages, noieis ana umcr premises thereabouts.

TARBORO WON SCORE 5 TO 3 dime Was by Far thereat Seen Here In Several Seasons Both Teams Did Good Work The Con test To-day. The largest crowd of spectators that has assembled to witness a game of base ball this season was at the Hilton Park diamond yesterday afternoon and saw Tarboro vanquish the Wil mington Athletic Association team by a score of 5 to 3. Not before this sea son has there been such superb ball as that played yesterday and the 600 and more people who watched . the game gave vent to their intense interest by outbursts of uproarious enthusiasm at frequent intervals. The game was especially remarkable not so much for exceptionally brilliant plays as for general good all round work by both teams. It was exceedingly hard for either team to score, as is evidenced by the score by inninings, in that Wilmington made her three runs in the second inning and Tarboro in the fifth, seventh and eighth. Wilmington's runs were by Person, Brinig and Zellers. In the fifth inning Withers and Norment, made the two first scores for Tarboro. Fenner and Withers added a score each in the seventh inning, and Fenner made the fifth and last score in the eighth inning. The strength of the Tarboro team lyesterday was largely in their pitcher, jvc ii tin, woo scureu luurieeu sinae outs. Indeed, it is doubful if the Wil mington diamond has been visited by so strong a pitcher in several seasons. The favorite player on the Wilmington team seemed to be Jack Johnston, who playerr second base and played it well. However, where all the team played such all round good ball, it ia hard to single out individual players, for with scarcely a single exception there was good ball playing all along the line. The same applies to the Tarboro team, which is certainly very strong. The score of yesterday's game by innings was as follows: 123456789 Tarboro 0 0002021 0-5 Wilmington 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 03 The following was the line up of the respective teams : TARBORO. WILMINTON.

It is confidently expected that the game this afternoon will attract an even larger crowd than did yester day's, the initial game of the series. Sanders, Wilmington's cracky pitcher", will ba in the box and the team's line-up will be the very strongest that it can possibly be made for the reason that in order to have a show for winning the best two eames out of the series of three Wilmington must have to day's'game, and should the scofe be evened up" to morrow's game will indeed be a "hard faught battle." The people were treated to great ball yesterday and the feast promises to be "according to the Queen's taste" before the series of games is cccluded. Will Open September First. Mr. J. E. Benton, of Birmingham, Ala., arrived here yesterday to accep a position with Mr. A. Shrier. He comes highly recommended as a gentleman and an experienced salesman. To a member of the Star staff Mr. Shrier said yesterday that he expects to moye into his handsome new store corner Front and Princess streets about Sentember 1st. when he will have a complete and thoroughly new stock of gentleman s furnishing and clothing. The Star congratulates Mr. Shrier unon ha vine secured this admirable location and upon the ma terial enlargement of his business. Dr. C M. Payne. Rev. O. M. Payne, D. D., of Washington, N. C, former pastor of SL Andrew's Presbyterian, church, this city, and greatly beloved by a host of friends in Wilmington, arrived Wednesday in time to conduct the prayer meeting service at SL Andrew's on the following night in the absence of the pastor. Rev. A. D. McClure. Dr. Payne is the guest of Mr. W. H. Sprunton Third and Grace streets, for several days and will conduct the services morning and evening at SL Andrew's church next Sabbath. Small' Fire. The department was summoned at 9 :27 o'clock this morning to a fire at 919 Chesnut street, a small house owned by Mr. R. M. Mclntyre and oc cupied by Alice Sneed, colored. The fire was from a spark from the chim ney, which caught on the roof and damaged the building about 2.00. Mo BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GARDEN ON WHEELS A Four Car S. A. L. Paint Train Gov ered With Vines and Filled With Potted Plants. A Seaboard Air Line painter's train of five cars arrived here yesterday morning, with Mr. J. W. Elliott, gen eral foreman of the paint department, in charge They come to re-paint the S. A. L. passenger depot, the freight depot, and do considerable work on the S. A. L building on Front street. They will be here several weeks. Mr-Elliott has four of his cars, or dinary shanty cars, transformed into veritable flower gardens on wheels. He has boxes fastened on the outside of the cars, in which vines are grow ing and trailing along the sides of the cars, forming a beautiful network of green. On top of the cars, arranged in a very unique manner, are pots of luxurious foliage and blooming' plants. On the interior of these cars then is also a profusion of potted plants. The interior of the car occupied by Mr. Elliott for office and Hying purposes has many especially rare plants, ar: ranged with especial taste. These cars have been thus adorned with plants and vines all the .season, and have travelled throughout the entire S. A. L. system. They are now side-tracked at the S. A. L. passenger depot, where they attract a good deal of attention and are much admired by many people. TO SOLICIT NEW MEMBERS. Special Y. M. C. A. Committee Met Last Nfrht Will Have Friendly Rivalry. Complimentary Tickets. The special committee recently ap pointed to solicit new members for the YouDg Men's Christian Associa tion held a meeting last night. It was decided to divide the committee into two companies, the company which secures the most new members dur ing the given time to be tendered a royal entertainment by the company securing the lesser number of mem bers.

BEFORE THE MAYOR. Cases That Came Up in the Municipal Court Yesterday Morning. John Bishop, the young colored boy who was jailed Wednesday morn ing charged with the larceny of lum ber from the A. C. L. yards, was tried in the municipal court yesterday morning. The prosecuting witnesss failed to make out a case of larceny against the boy and the warrant was amended, charging him with disorderly conduct, of which he was found guilty. He was taxed with the costs. Wm. Tate, the colored driver of the Robert Portner Brewing Com pany's delivery wagon, was up for fast driving, but the case was con tinued until to-day.

Fernandina, (Fla.) Mirror : "C. H. Leggett has been appointed agent for G. S. Baxter & Co., in Fernandina and Brunswick.

Mr. Leggett has lived in Fernandina for the past seventeen years and during that time made a host of friends who are pleased to note his promotion." ENDORSED UNIFORMITY. Mr. R. M. Lee, of Alabama, thinks all farmers and ginners will be in line : "I have thought for a long while that we were in need of a uniform bale.
