The Practice Game at Hilton Yesierday Demonstrated the Fact That Wil mington Has a Qood Team. The "scrubs" had a stiff proposition to solve at the Hilton ball park yes terday afternoon when they went up against the mighty aggregation of professional ball tossers which will represent Wilmington on the diamond this season, and, judging from the form in which the men showed up, they will make a rush for the pennant A large crowd of "fans" was on hand when "play bail" was called by Umpire Davis, and everybody had a close eye on the players to see if there were any weak places, but judging from the expressions of praise on all sides, the . team signed by Manager Peschaisa alt right and Wilmington wl be among the first in the proces sion. The "scrub" team was composed of aomegt parebtt was no match for the fellows on the other side. Four innings were played. In the third the "scrubs" were allowed six put outs and in the fourth nineteen put outs were record ed against : them before the side re tired. At the close of .the fourth inning, the professionals had piled up 18 runs while the "scrubs" bad not sent a single man across the home plate.

Blaze in "VooKampeo Block" at 2 O'clock This Morning Wrought a Con siderable Loss. Fire which started at. 3 o'clock, this morning ostensibly from an ex plosion of some character at the rear of the grocery store and saloon of Mr. J. W. H. Fuchs, on the northwest corner of Front and Orange streets, caused damage to the fine two story store buildings known as the "VonKam- pen block" and to the car shed and dtber property of the Wilmington Street Railway, with merchandise and other goods in the buildings, that will probably exceed $10,000. From best accounts obtainable at a very early hour this morning the ex plosion was outside the building and very near the oyster saloon of Mr. W. R. Smith, in the basement of Mr. Fuch's store. The flames spread rapidly and when the fire department reached the scene the rear of the five stores, two of which were vacant, was ablaze. The flames communicated to the car shed of the Street Railway Company, and also to a water tower of the com pany in the rear of the row of build mgs. The stores in the block are Hardin's Palace Pharmacy, two vacant stores adjoining, grocery of Mr. Fuch's and the grocery and saloon on the corner of Front and Orange. Up stairs in the building there were sleeping apartments. All the occu pants escaped but much of the house hold furniture was destroyed. Mr. W. R. Smith and one or two associates were in the oyster par lor when the explosion occurred. They &ay the flames had been discov ered by them a few minutes before the explosion and they narrowly es: oaped with their lives. At 3:15 o'clock this morning the fire was under complete control. Nothing definite as to the loss or insurauce is obtainable now. All the buildings except the property of the Street Railway is the property of Mr. G, F. VonKampen. Steamer's Narrow Escape.

WILL LIKELY ACCEPT CALL Believed That Efforts Will Be In Vain to Keep Dr. BlsckweU Here. , The Stab regrets to say that it appears very probable now that the Rev. Dr. Calvin L Black well, pastor of the First Bapwst church of Wil mington, will accept the very flatter ing call to the pastorate of the First Baptist church, of Newport News, Va., mention of which was made in these columns on Tuesday morning. The field at Newport News is a very inviting one, and there is increased opportunity for greater influence on the part of Dr. Black well. The fact of Dr. Black well's being a native of Vir ginia, and the residency of a number of members of his family in that State at present is also a strong inducement for him to leave Wilmington for that field. Very strong efforts, however, are being, made by the congregation in this city to keep him here, and it is sincerely hoped by the people of Wil mington at large, irrespective of de nomination, that he will consent to remain with his Wilmington church.
