E. Charch Af- fected by Slight Attsck. friends of the Rev. John H. Hall, pastor of Fifth Street M. E. Church, were much pained at an announce ment made by him to his congregation just before entering upon his discourse at tho regular service Sunday morn ing. The intelligence which was re ceived with so much regret by his hear ers was to the effect that during the week preceding he had suffered a stroke of facial paralysis on the left side. One entire cheek is perceptibly affected but his power ot speech is only slightly impede!. by the disease and friends hope, and cherish the be lief that it will prove no more serious than now, when physicians say that there is much probability of an entire recovery. Otherwise? the Rev. Mr. Hall is in good health and does not suffer inconvenience from the afflic tion. Sunday night Rev. Mr. Abbott, a Northern minister who is visiting in the city, preached to Mr. Hall's con gregation in his stead. FOR SUNDAY LIQUOR SELUNQ.

Mr. Pollard, who was de fended by Messrs. Herbert McClammy and Brooke G. Empie, was dis charged. The case was prosecuted by City Attorney Meares. "A TRIP TO C00NT0WN.'

A League Team for Wilmington Is Forth coming If Leader Can Be Obtained ia Promlslsg Movement. - The balmy Spring weather of the past two or three days coupled with the publication on Sunday of the in viting letter of Secretary E. J. Doran, of the Virginia -North' Carolina Base ball League,' was especially conducive yesterday ' to a revival of the prop osition falteringly entertained all the. while by local enthusiasts that it would be quite the thing for Wilming ton to move up a peg or two and en joy some of the . national sport this Summer as member of the only or ganisation of teams that will put up a professional article in th'is section: this season. The only mo remftnt, that has, had 1 any semblance of tangible result since the Virginia Carolina League - was first talked of in the Winter, almost reached a culmination yesterday and there was only one thing lacking that was some one to take the initia tive in the matter and hold the sub scriptiOn book to a stock company while an eager baseball public with a relish for the "hot stuff," awaited to sign up for all the- shares necessary to a first classs team. Perhaps the missing link will be supplied to-day in time to have the Norfolk vauthori ties hold a, place for Wilmington at the meeting inJhat city to morrow evening. U there arises a Moses to lead the "cranks," he will have to start on his purchase of a team about $400 iu voluntary subscriptions made yesterday without the shadow of a canvass and from not a tenth of the people who will contribute a good round sum to the support of a league team, to say nothing of those who will take shares of from $5 to $10 in an enterprise properly backed.

Paxton, who has so acceptably served as stated supply for the congregation of the First Church for the past several months, expects to leave Wilmington on Thursday week for Selma, Alabama, where he will supply the pulpit of the First Presby terian church there, pending the call to a regular pastor by that congrega tion. He expects to resume his mis sionary work in China during the Fait if the conditions there become favorable. Rev. Mr. Paxton has made numerous and staunch friends during his residency in the city and it will be with a feeling of regret that the public in general and congrega tion in particular will give him.up. He has impressed all by his earnest wOrk and ability as a minister of the gospel. ADDITIONAL RAILROAD TAX. City and County's Share Resulting from Termination of Corporation Litigation. A statement of . the amount of additional - valuation of railroad property upon, which the city and county may collect taxes as a result of a termination of the Corporation Commission litigation has been re ceived by Clerk and Treasurer King and Chairman McEachern, of the New Hanover Board of Commission ers.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY, THIS TIME. Store of Flshblate Clothing Co. Narrowly Escaped Being Robbed Sunday Night. Evidence continues to accumulate supporting the well confirmed theory that there ia an organized band of burglars at work in the city. Sunday night between 8 and 9 o'clock a policeman discovered that an attempt had been made to get into the store - of the Fishblate Clothing Company in the Masonic Temple. One of the iron fire proof shutters to a window opening upon the basement in the rear had been prized open but fortunately the attempt to rob the tore was discovered by the officer be fore an entrance could be effected. The would-be burglar was evidently frightened away by the approach of the policeman before further progress was made.' : . Sixth Anniversary..
