ABOUT LEAGUE BASE BALL. Resalt of To dsy's Contribotloa May De termine Existence of a Team Here. That Wilmington will be in the Vireinia-Carolina Base Ball League now rests entirely with the people, who have been clamoring for base ball alf along and it may be said that if responses are prompt and at all liberal to-day, the team is a certainty and, of course, everybody knows it will be "a winner." Messrs. Jack Bellamy and Henry B. Peschau made a canvass of a few hours yesterday and secured about $600 in bona-fide subscriptions to a stock company for the maintenance of the team and many of the probable largest individual subscribers were not seen. Other committees will go out to day and if a "fanatic" be ap proached, he should deal liberally with the solicitors or in the event he is not reached by the committee, he should constitute himself a committee of one to look up the walking com mittee which is supposed to be en dowed with the vigilance -to reach all in town but by which a lack of time may prevent a more thorough canvass.

THE OPERA HOUSE TONIQHT. Cole & Johnson's Accref stlon of Colored Comedians W1U Appear Here Cole and Johnson's aggregation of colored comedians and entertainers numbering thirty-two people will be seen at the Opera House to-night The press generally pronounces it the best colored show in existence. The St Louis Chronicle of Jan. 14th says: "A week's engagement of the nov elty in black face, "Trip to Coon Town," began at the Imperial Sunday afternoon, and was well received .by a good audience. Tbe play is without plot but as an extravagant musicial and faeical combination it can hardly be equaled. It is full of musical speci alties, most of which are up to the standard in popularity and artistic rendering. "Bob" Cole and "Billy" Johnson, who head the company, are the equals of the well known Williams and Walker, in their peculiar line of comedy, and even excel them in some points. Thomas Craig. Lloyd Gibbs and Bob Cole deserves especial men tion, for their excellent solo work. , DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY Standing Committees Announced at Meet ing Yesterday Worthy Movement for tbe Soldiers' Home.

Apprehended in Raleigh Lsst Night on Warrants Forwarded by Wilmington Police HearlH Next Week. Tbe Allowing telegram received last night is well nigh self explanatory : "Raleigh. N. C. ". G Parmele, Chief of Police, Wil mington, N. C: " 'Paul Young' arreted. He wishes to know what bond required. "W. H. Muluns, "Chief of Police." Upon information and belief, fur nished by a number of citizens who have interested themselves in the question of ridding the city of Sunday whiskey selling, selling liquor with out license and kindred vices, two warrants for the first named offences were sworn out by the police on Sat urday and Chief Parmele immediately set about to execute the same, 'but found that Young, who has conducted for several months club rooms up stairs in the building at the corner of Purcell alley and Second street had closed up his place and left the city. He then plsced himself in telegraphic communication with a number of cities where the young man had likely gone and on day bafore yesterday located him in Raleigh. The warrants were forwarded with the result as conveyed in tbe telegram above. Chief Parmele wired in reply to Chief Muiins last night that $100 bond in each case was required and the absence of a steply indicated that it had been promptry given. The case will be heard by Mayor Waddell in the municipal court on Thursday, Feb ruary 28th. THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS. Sections of the Constitution Prescribing Method of Dealing Wltb the Question. Much interest is manifested in Wil mington over the impeachment pro ceedings at Raleigh; in fact, the dis cussion is so general that the question almost becomes a matter of local inter est There has been such a vast deal of inquiry recently for information as to the methods of dealing with such cases by the General Assembly, that the Stab prints the following, which are sections 3 and 4 of Article IV of the Constitution of North Carolina re lating to the Judicial Department: "3eo. 3. The court for the trial of impeachments shall be the Senate. A majority of the members shall, be necessary to a quorum, and the judg ment shall not extend beyond re moval from and disqualification to hold office in this Sta'te, but the party shall be liable to indictment and punishment according to law. "3sa 4. The House of Representa tives solely shall have the power of impeaching. No person shall be con victed without the concurrence of two thirds of the Senators present When the Governor is impeached the Chief Justice shall preside." Now that the Legislature on Monday passed the resolution of impeachment trial will be had in the Senate in con formity to the law as printed above.

' Another new and important enter prise is in store for Wilmington, it' having been announced yesterday that the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, the famous brewers of Milwaukee, would locate a mammoth bottling es tablishment here, which will be the largest of its kind in the South and designed to aupply not only the local and inland trade, but also to furnish cargoes of the celebrated "Schlitz" to foreign countries. Mr. A. M. Hoffstadt, general travel ling agent of the company, is here, but is very reticent in talking of his plans and appears decidedly averse to newspaper publicity of the proposed enterprise. The plant will be located on Water street between Chesnut and Grace, back of the offices of W. A. White- bead tic Son, and a brick building two stories in height will, be built for the office and machinery. The Wilming ton managers will be W. H.

Wilmington's Neighbor, Fayette ville, Had Interesting Pri mary Yesterday. IS THE QUESTION SETTLED? Queer Aspect Presented by Refusal of Anti-Saloon Men to Abide the Re salt After Joining tbe Issne. Notes of Interest. The Stab has noted from time to time in these columns the very bitter fight engendered in Cumberland county and in the city of Fayetteville, especially, between two factions which sprang op over a proposition to over throw the dispensary system there and &.3siabUh,in licensed bar rooms. When the qu-s tion ofdispensary" or "no dispensary" came up in the Legislature early in the session, two of Cumberland's representatives in the. General As sembly with opposite persuasions on the question, Senator James D. Mc Neill and Representative E. R. Mao Kethan, decided to leave a settlement of the matter to a white primary which Was called and which resulted yesterday in an overwhelming defeat of those who favored the present or dispensary system. It will not be until all the country precincts are heard from that the exact propor tions of the defeat can be deter mined. Even then it appears that the bodv politic will still be consider ably disturbed over tbe question, for after a relentless warfare of several weeks during which column after column of argument on both sides was published in the Fayetteville papers, some of it teeming with warm personalities, the dispensary advocates under the leadership of Mr. Q K. Nimocks, withdrew from the primary and in substance refused to abide the result Yesterday it is said the dis pensary people took no part in the primary other than to have a represen tative at each polling place and no tices were issued advising all who favored the dispensary to abstain from voting. With few exceptions it seems that the request was obeyed and the natural presumption is that the dispensary people will transfer the fight again to the Legislature. The following special telegrams were received by the Stab last night, the first being from ' a correspondent and the last being paid message from Mr. Nimocksf chairman of the Dispensary Committee: Fayetteville. N. C, February 19. The dispensary primary vote to day sraa overwhelpisgly against the dis pebsary, although "dodgers" were sent out at the last moment declaring that the primary had been postponed. The vote against the dispensary in the city is considerably more than a majority of the combinedimmons and Carr vote. The country districts so far heard from show even heavier majori ties. H Eye. Fayettkyille, N. C, Feb. 19. Out of a total white vote of 3,200 in vjumberland -county, the present re turns indicate only about 800 against the dispensary. The dispensary advo cates did not participate in the primary on the grounds that the primary was not properly ordered nor the issue fairly presented. Friends of the dis pensary are happy oyer the result, as it shows that a large majority of the white people want the dispensary re tained, The vote in Fayetteville was only 262 against the dispensary out of a total registered white vote of 750. y K. NlMOOKS. WILMINGTON FAMILY BEREAVED. Mrs. N. W. Scbenck, Formerly of This : City, Died at Charlottesville, Va.
