THE CHANGE IN LEAGUE RULES I Does Not, Meet With Favor From Some Quarters Wilmington's Opening With Richmond Monday Approschiog Contests on Home Diamond. An exhibition game of base ball 18 Scheduled for this aftArrmnn at Bilton Park between the Wilmington team in the Virginia-Carolina League and a team composed of local talent. The game is for practice purposes and the public is cordially invited. Tne local team will be sufficiently strength ened from- the leaz&e team to make the contest interesting. The league men are doing well and and hardening up nicely from their hibernation since the close of last sea son. lauy practices are beme keot up to the pleasure of many spectators who go out-each afternoon to Hilton. and profit to the men who are to take two of the three games from Rich mond next week. For these games the team will leave 8unday morning and return the following 8unday, after three other eames with Ports mouth. Wilmington will see her first league ball for an entire six days on Monday week. Richmond will open with the home team on the home grounds for three games, and Portsmouth will fol low on Thursday, Friday and Satur day, for three other games. The next games at Wilmington are for a solid week beginning May 6th with Newport News-Hampton and Norfolk. Raleigh will not find her way to this coast be fore May 16th. Mr. Preston G. White has arranged to take the opening game between Wilmington and Richmond in detail at the office of Murphy & Co., over the store of Sternberger Bros. A sub scription with this end in view is now being taken. The game will come just as played and will be exhibited on a. blackboard fresh from the diamond at Richmond. An exchange has the following to say of the new rules under which teams in the Virginia-Carolina League will play this season : Ball players all over the country are testing the new rules. The Pitts burg team at Hot Springs say that the foul ball clause will injure the batting to such an extent that the leading batsman of the National League will have an average of not more than 300. The Brooklyn players at Char lotte say that not only is this the rule, but the one that allows the pitcher to bit a batsman without the latter tak ing nis base, a Dig mistake, xney argue that pitchers will purposely bit batsmen in order to drive tnem from the plate and incidentally make it an easy matter to work them on curved balls. That the National League Rules Committee has . made an error in these respects there is little doubt. Even the college teams are fioding fault. Umpire John J. Gaffney, a veteran, who will officiate at all the home games of Brown University, has requested the nine of that insti tution to play all games under last year's rules, on the ground that the changes are too intricate to under stand properly. The foul ball rule is meeting with such opposition mat it is said the National League, under pressure, may rescind it. THE SPLENDID STEAMER WILMINGTON She Was the Cynosure of All Eyes at Her Wharf Yesterday.

Harper, and waa surprised at the the extent of the recent improvement. Nq part of the commodious vessel has escaped the eve of the carpenter or brush of the plain and artistic painter. The ma chinery, too, has come in for its share of the general change from good to better and if appearances count for anything Capt. Harper will break all records during, the forthcoming season.

The services were impressively conducted by the Rev. F. H. T. Horsfield, rector of 8t James' parish, and the large gathering present signified 'in no uncertain way the very high esteem in which the deceased young man was held in Wilmington, his native home. Aside from the large number of friends of the deceased and family. there was a large delegation of young Mr. Daggett's comrades in Company K, United States Volunteers, of which h) was a member during the late Spanish-American war.

The combination on the safe, Mr. Reaves said, was changed at his own request and Mr. Montgomery had sim ply neglected to furnish him with the new combination. Mr. Reaves stated further that at the outset he did not wish to get the mat ter in the public prints until he had made a thorough investigation of the young man's conduct and could make a definite statement regarding the affair and that he has not until now had the matter in shape to make a full statement. He is satisfied of young Montgomery's honesty and is confi dent that in the end the matter will be cleared up to the full exoneration of his manager. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. Held Profitable and Pleasant Weekly Ses sion Yesterday Afternoon An nouncements. At the weekly meeting of the Pri mary Union at the Y. M. C. A. yester day afternoon Dr. Blackwell taught the lesson "Jesus Appears to Mary' and greatlyelighted and instructed those present with his discourse. The points brought out were "Love with out faith looks into the grave; angels are near us in our sorrows; tears and fears blind us; to teach Christ is better than to touch Cnrist; if the Lord has spoken to us, we must speak unto others; the heart throb thought is: 'If I Love Jesus, X Will Obey Him.' " Dr. Blackwell was listened to with great pleasure and instruction, each lesson having been illustrated by touching and appropriate incident. Each meeting of the Association shows an increase in auenaance ana enmu- siasm. At the next week's session Miss Nellie Cook will teach tb,e lesson.

NEWS FROM RALEIGH. Clerk Martin's Defalcation Will Not Exceed Twelve Thou sand Dollars. THE STATE PENITENTIARY. Director Says It Will Be Absolutely Necessary to Borrow Money for the Institution Jos. H. McRee's Appointment State Fair. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, April 11. Hon. Francis D. Winston said this morning that the special legislative committee of which he is chairman will not pre sent their report of findings as to Clerk Martin's defalcations in the 8tate treasury to the Governor to day, but that it will probably be forthcom-' ing to morrow. He said they had not finally estimated the shortage vet. but intimated that it may not after all be more than f 10.000 or $13,000, or it may not quite reach the first named figure. lhey have only examined the treasury accounts with the State's prison, but the v think it hardly possible for Mar tin to have embezzled funds in his ao counts with the other State institu tions. A White fclephaot. I was talking with one of the most prominent members of the new State's prison board of directors to-day, and he told me that it will be absolutely necessary for the institution to borrow money very soon. The prison now. he says, has very limited assets, the crop of ground peas being the princi pal asset from last year's crop now on hand. Their investigation the past few days has not thrown any lLfht upon the situation which would im prove the apparent condition of the nstitution, which, the director says. is a great big white elephant on the hands of the Bute. The board will not make any statement as to the con dition of the prison for some weeks yet, and then only through a completed report to His Excellency -Governor Aycock. The Marks-Andrews Wedding. The Marks-Andrews wedding and reception in this city last night proved to be one of the most brilliant in the history of Raleigh society. There were eight private cars of rail road officials here, and there were distinguished visitors from all parts of the country.

They were accompanied by quite a party of friends The train consisted entirely of private cars. Miss Jane Andrews, the bride, is an unusually affable and popular young lady, and Mr. Marks, the for tunate groom, is a prosperous cotton broker of Montgomery, Ala. October 21st to 36th has been se eded as the date for the 1901 State Fair.

C , the following let ter to-day : "The SUte Board of Education di rects me to notify you of your election as agent of swamp lands belonging to the Board. I call your attention to section 2531 of the Code." The position to which Capt. McRee is elected pays a thousand a year and expenses, and requires only a portion of his time. The Board of Directors of the State's prison held another private session to day and agreed upon officers to be elected. It is not given out, but it is understood that Hon. Ben Aycock, of Goldsboro, will be made superintend ent A report upon the condition of prison affairs is being prepared by Mr. Nathan O'Berry, of the Board, and may be presented to the Governor to morrow.
