SCORE YESTERDAY 14 TO 6. The First Two or Three Innings of Yester day's Game Especially Interesting. Daring Last Innings Wilming ton's Team Went to Pieces. The series of three games of base ball between the Tarboro and the Wil mington Athletic Association teams has been played, the last being on the Hilton Park diamond yesterday after noon, and Tarboro is the victor in the entire series, Wilmington not having won either of the three games. The Wilmington team and the association by whom they are backed have the gratification however of knowing that during the series of games they have made it possible for admirers of good ball to see some of the very best plac ing witnessed here in years. Of the three games with Tarboro the score yesterday shows by far the biggest odds against Wilmington, being 14 to 6. The scores in the other two games were, Thursday, 5 to 3, and Friday 6 to 1. The crowd yesterday afternoon, while it was very good, was not so large as on the two first afternoons and is to be accounted for most prob ably by the fact that Tarboro, having already won the best two out of three games, the people suspected that there would be much less inspiration for either side to play good ball. Nevertheless, while the big odds in the score would indicate a tame game, it was certainly not so slow as some might suspect, there having been a number of brilliant plays on both sides. The game was called promptly at 4.30 o'clock with Wilmington at the bat and Mr. W. F. Robertson umpire. It was during the first two inniogs that Wilmington scored her ruT making three in each, the grand stand spectators the while rending the air with uproarious cheers and giving vent to their enthusiasm in well nigh the wildest enthusiasm imaginable. Person was first to the bat. He knocked a ball into left field and made second base. Bernig followed to the bat and sent the ball double quick over center field, reaching third base and scoring Person. Brunson came to the bat and sent a ball over third base. He ran to second base and scored Bsrnig. Taylor batted to short stop, who fumbled, allowing Brunson to score and Taylor to reach second base. The two remaining batters for Wilmington fanned out, and Tarboro went to the bat. Glaven was struck out. Meade knocked a ball over center field and made second base. Luskey knocked a ball to short stop, Brinig, who made a pretty catch and put out Luskey on first. Phillips hit to John son at second and was put out on first. The second inning was even more interesting than the first. Levy was the first of the Wilmington team to the bat. He knocked the ball to the left field and made first base. Alston batted to the right field, where Fenner fumbled, allowing Alston to make first base. Person knocked "the ball over center field, .Alston and Levy advancing one bag each. Brinig came to the bat, knocked a left fielder, scoring Levy and Alston and making secoud Johnson, J., batted left field and by slide made second and scored Brinig. Brunson batted to the left field, where Spencer fumbled the ball, allowing Johnson to make third base and Brunson to make second. John son was put out in attempting to make the home plate, thus closing Wil mington's half of the second inning, the last in which they made a score. Throughout the remainder of the game Tarboro seemed to gain strength and the Wilmington go to pieces rapidly. Kenna, Tarboro's pitcher, began to twirl such puzzlers that tKe Wilmington batters could not find but very few, and when they attempted to make runs the fates were against them, every man dying on base. On the other hand the Tarboro boys bat ted several beautiful two and three baggers and even made two home runs, both the latter by Meade, who, by the way, played the best base ball yesterday that has been soon here du ring the whole series. In the third inning Meade and Glavin scored runs for Tarboro. Neither team scored in the fourth, but in the fifth there were five runs for Tarboro. They were made by Glavin, Meade, Luskey, Kenna and Spencer. The last-named also scored in the sixth inning. There was no score in the seventh inning, but in the eighth and last inning Tarboro piled up eight runs, greatly to the disgust of the spec tators who felt chagrined at the way in which the Wilmington team went to pieces after making such a brilliant start in the two first innings. In the sixth inning Sweeney suc ceeded Person in the box for Wilming ton. Person going on the right field and Sanders retiring from the game. The score by innings, the line-up and the summary were as follows: 1234567 8 Tarboro 0 020510 614 Wilmington 3 30uuuuu o WILMINGTON. TARBORO.

Grady & Co., Burgaw, N. C. t OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED YESTERDAY MORNING. Mis Darby Received News of Her Appoint ment Prom Washington Mr. Strnthers May be Assistant. Miss Mary C. Darby, the new ap pointee to the Wilmington postmaster ship, received official notification of her appointment to the position yes terday moiming together with a bond in the sum of $50,000 which she is in structed to execute and send to the department as early as possible. From best information .obtainable yesterday it was learned that Miss Darby would easily find surety among her friends in the city to the amount required and that it is very probable that Postmaster Chad bourn will re tire as early as to morrow week and Miss Darby immediately assume con trol of the affairs of the office. The postmastership under a second class rating ha3 been paying Postmas ter Chadbourne $2,900 par annum, but beginning August 1, the office was ad vanced to first class and so long as the receipts will justify the same it will remain first class with the salary of the postmaster $3,000 par year only $100 more than under the second rat ing. Local Republicans do not appear, jubilant over the appointment. While they do not base their objections to Miss Darby personally, there appears to be an undercurrent of sentiment favoring the appointment of men only to positions of this character.. They easily concede her competency but it is obvious that they want the office as a reward for some political service during the campaign. Miss Darby says she has nothing to say yet as to whom she will name for Assistant Postmaster, butit isgeneraly believed that Mr. Wm. Struthers will be the appointee. Mr. Wallace, the present incumbent, will succeed Mr. F." B. Rice at the Custom House about September 1st, if the latter de cides to accept permanently the hull inspectorship for the Charleston dis trict, a contest over which be lias just ended with Capt. Gannon. Who will be the new monaj order clerk is as yet a matter of speculation. ONE HUNDRED EXTRA LABORERS. Wanted by City to Do Drainage Work On South Sixth Street. The Board of Health held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to con sider the matter of relieving the un sanitary condition of a pond of sur face water, which has accumulated by reason of excessive rains near the Second Advent Church on South Sixth street. At the meeting were present Mayor A. M. Waddell, chairman, Capt- W. R. Kenan, Dr. F. H. Russell, Acting City Engineer W. F. Robertson, Dr. WJ). McMillan, Superintendent of Health, and Alderman Taylor of the Streets and Wharves Committee. Upon motion of Capt. Kenan it was decided that the Superintendent of Streets be instructed to employ a force of hands sufficient to open the culvert which is intended to convey the water which has collected in the vicinity named. Acting under these instructions Mayor Waddell and Alderman Taylor have advertised for one hundred able bodied laborers and six good brick masons to report at the City Hall to the Superintendent of Streets at noon to-day, in order that the work may begin promptly on to-morrow morn ing. ARRESTED FOR LARCENY. Becky Clarldy, Colored, Charged With Stealing $6 From a White Man. C. S. Riggs, an East Wilmington man, last night at police headquarters preferred charges of larceny against Becky Claridy, a well known colored habitue of Racket Store alley. The prosecutor says that about 11 o'clock last night . the woman asked him to change some money for her, which he was doing by the light of the .oil lamp in the alley, when a crowd came up and the Claridy woman snatched the money he had in his hand, amounting to about six dollars in silver coin, and ran off with it. Officer J. M. King was called upon and the woinan was found and carried to the city prison. In the hat which she was wearing when locked up an amount of money was found, which corresponds with that lost by Riggs. The case will be investigated by Uayor Waddell to-morrow morning. Dougald A. Lamont. News was received in the city yes terday of the death of Mr. Dougald A. Lamont, an old Wilmington resident who has spent his declining years near Marl ville, in Bladen county.
