SEASON'S BASE BALL
Wilmington Now a Full Fledged
Member of the Virginia
Carolina League.
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Organization Perfected by Election of
Officers sad Manager Team Will
Be Quickly Signed for Season
Opening April 15th.
Plana are complete and practically
all the mouey has been subscribed for
the maintenance of a team by Wil
mington in the Virginia-North Caro
lina Base Ball League, and all that
now remains is a collection of the
funds and the signing of a team,
which work will be pushed with the
utmost possible dispatch within the
next few days.
The final step was taken last night
at an enthusiastic meeting of local
base ball enthusiasts at the Elks'
Temple, at which there were more
than a hundred present, including
Secretary Doran, of the League, who
has worked persistently in Wilming
ton's interest since the possibility of
her entering the organization was first
suggested.
The officers and members of the ex
ecutive oommitee, who were decided
upon and elected at the meeting, are
as follows:
President Mr. W. A. Dick.
Secretary and Treasurer Mr. Jno.
D. Bellamy, Jr. 3rd.
Manager Mr. Henry B. Pesohau.
Executive Committee Messrs. W.
A Diok, A. B. Skelding, J. A. Ar
ringdale, Jno. p. Bellamy, Jr. 3rd,
and S. H. Fishblate.
The Executive Committee arrived at
its elections after the meeting of
subscribers as above and each membtr
of the committee and officers prom
ised his individual best endeavor to
the promotion of the sport. Manager
Pesohau will at once begin the sign
ing of a team and it is safe to predict
that it will be a "winner." The stars
on last season's Wilmington nine will
all likely be signed for this year
and a very strong reinforcement will
be had from other sources with which
Mansger Peschau is already in corres
pondence. Tae meeting upon motion of Col.
Walker Taylor was called to order by
Mr. W. F. R bertson and Mr. R. C.
Df Rosset was chosen secretary.
Secretary E. J. Doran, who was pres
ent by invitation addressed the meet
ing much in the same manner as the
night previous at the conference of a
number of enthusiasts at the Elks'
Club. He explained eaoh detail of the
plans for the League, all of which
was highly satisfactory to all present.
Upon the close of his remarks and
answers to questions by different
members of the assembly. Col. Walker
ylor suggested that the meeting of
subscribers proceed to organize by the
election of an executive committee of
five to be proposed by a nominating
committee of three to be named by the
chairman. Wm. J. Bellamy, Esq ,
amended the motion after some
discussion to the effect that
in consideration of the liberal do
nation of the Wilmington Street Rail
way Company that Mr. A. B. Skel
ding, general manager of the compa
ny, be made one director and that the
others be nominated upon the floor by
those present, each one being allowed
to vote regardless of the stock owned.
After much further discussion, the
amendment prevailed and nominations
were made as follows: Messrs. S. H.
Fishblate. Walker Taylor, W. F. Rob
ertson, C. H. White, Jack Bellamy, F.
H. Stedman, W. A. Dick, J. A. Ar
ringdale, E. S. Battle and George L.
Peschau. Of this number, Messrs.
Robertson, White, Taylor, Battle,
Stedman and Peschau declined to
serve, and the following were chosen,
each having received the voted desig
nated: Mr. A. B. Skelding, unanimous;
Mr. W. A. Dick, 29; Mr. J. A Arring
dale, 24; Mr. Jack Bellamy, 23; Mr. S.
H. Fishblate, 23.
Each one of the newly elected offi
cers responded in speeches pledging
their best efforts toward the mainten
ance of a winning team, after which a
unanimous vote of thanks was ten
dered Mr. Doran for his courtesy in
visiting Wilmington and for his kind
ly sentiment toward the city expressed.
Mr. Doran responded in his usual
characteristic happy vein, compli
men ting Wilmington upon the show
ing made and pledging his gratuitous
services to the team whenever needed
He was warmly applauded.
The general meeting then adjourned
and a session of the exeoutive commit
tee was held at which business was
transacted as stated above.
Secretary Doran may leave to-day
for Charlotte and will later visit
Winston and Greensboro in an effort
to organize teams. Durham has been
dropped from the prospective list of
cities that will make the League. Sec
retary Doran has made many friends
during his brief stay in the city and
Wilmington will welcome his coming
again. He is a base ball man because
he loves it and the League can have
no more enthusiastic or capable officer.
Regulators at Paison.
A correspondent of the Stab writing
from Faison, N. C, under dste of
March 7th, says that on the night
previous a body of twelve "Regula
tors" visited the house or one jonn
Darden, a bumptious colored resident,
and administered to him a "tonic," the
day and date of which he will long
remember. He resisted tne crowa at
first, and called for his gun, but wss
later brought to terms and properly
"regulated."
WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 9,
THE POISONING CASE.
Jury Unable to Agree Upon Verdict As to
the Death of Aiken Woman An
Analysis Wanted.
The coroner's jury in the case of
Minnie Aiken, colored, supposed to
have been poisoned to death by Ar
thur Cooper, colored, with whom she
lived, met yesterday morning and re
turned the following verdict :
"We the jury of inquest are unable
to find how the deceased, Minnie Ai
ken, came to her death."
The verdict is signed by Coroner
Stokes and the jury, composed as fol
lrws: Geo. M. Grant (foreman), J. D.
Mote, Jordan Branch, W. G. Brinkley,
R. E. Daniels and C. R. Anderson,
(secretary).
Cooper is still being held at the
county jail notwithstanding the ver
dict and it is likely that his ease will
bw brought up at next week's Crimi
nal Court The circumstantial evi
dence is very strong against him but
the jury did not feel disposed to place
upon him the responsibility of the
death unless an analysis of the con
tents of the woman s stomach exhibited
signs of arsenical poisoning to bear
out the statements of witnesses rela
lative to the purchase and use of the
dangerous compound which he claims
was bought for the purpose of ridding
his house of rats.
The stomach has been sent to Dr.
C ciarles Baskerville at the State Uni
versity for analysis, which it is said
will cost upwards of $300 and for
which the County Commissi onei shave
signified their unwillingness to pay.
In the meantime the case appears to
very much in a muddle and it is likely
the negro will be discharged unless
this further evidence is secured.

The session of the Court of Impeach
meat was the principal feature of the
Senate to day. The court convened at
noon to hear replication on the part of
managers and counsel for the House
to the answer of the defendant judges
to the articles of impeachment
Tne replication was a general reaf
firmation of the articles of impeach

The bill revising and consolidating
the charter of Wilmington came up
with Morton's amendment to submit
it to a vote of the people, but had to
give place to the bill for sixteen judi
cial districts. While the charter was
under disoussion Broughton called at
tention to the protest against the
amendment for a vote by the people
aigned by the Mayor, Aldermen and
others. Morton said there was a large
petition on the other side, and two of
three newspapers asked for the amend
ment That 76 per cent, of the prop
erty of the city was againat adopting
the charter without submitting it to
the people. He read extracts from the
Star, and declared every president of
a bank in Wilmington asked for the
amendment. He was simply asking
tae Senate to stand by him and do
what he believed a majority of the
people and the business interests of the
city wanted.
