Several Cottages On Soothers Eod Burned Early Yesterday Morning Loss Es timated at Aboat $13 000. A destructive fire swept the south em end of Carolina Beach between 12:30 and 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing and all of the cottages south of the pavilion, except the end one, which is owned by Mrs. C. P. B. Mahler, were totally destroyed, to gether with their contents. The fire originated in the cottage of Dr. J. D. Webster, who was there when it started. Dr. Webster returned to the city yesterday afternoon, and stated that be went down to make some re pairs on his cottage and before going to bed built a fiA in the stove to warm by. HeSiid he was awakened by the smoke and fire all around him, and he got out just a few seconds be fore the roof fell in. The total loss wilt reach about $13,000, and the amount of insurance is a little over $6,000. Mr. Hans A Kure was the heaviest loser. The fine two-story cottage which he occupied, a dining room. two other cottages, and bath houses, together with all the furniture in each, were completely destroyed. His total loss will aggregate about $8,000. He carried insurance with Col. Walker Taylor for $5,000, on houses and furniture. Mr. John J. Fowler's cottage, north of Dr. Webster's, was also burned to the ground. His total loss is esti mated at about $3,500, with $250 insurance with J. H. Boatwrieht & Son. Dr. Webster's loss is about $1,000 and he carried $700 insurance with Col. Walker Taylor. The cottaee of Mr. R. W. Smith was valued at $400 and was in sured for $300 with Col. Walker Tay lor. " As will be seen, the wind was blow ing from 'the north and the flames spread to the southward. There were only a few people on the beach at the time and nothing could be done to check the flames. The end house, owned by Mrs. Mahler, as stated above, was not damaged. Capt. Harper, who came upon ihe Wilmington yesterday afternoon, stated to a reporter that the fire did not affect the property of j the New Hanover Transit Company, ; aud also that preparations for the coming sea son will be continued as vigorously as ever. Mr. &ure, the heaviest loser by the conflagration, is confined to bis home by illness and was not able to go down yesterday. Qolf Club Announcement. .

Portsmouth Raleigh The base ball game at Richmond yesterday, in which the Giants- from North Carolina wrested the honors from the Grays of Virginia by a score of 5 to 3, was 1 no surprise to those who had read between the lines in tne two preceding games, the magnificent work of those brawny lads, whom Manager Peschau had gathered from the four corners of the earth, to do battle for Wilmington in the Virginia-North Carolina League this season. It was a splendid exhibition and though Wilmington played much in the same bad luck of the preceding day she.came out victorious and retir ed from the field without taking her ninth round at the bat. At the end of the seventh inning, it was a tie and people who witnessed the game be gan to wonder if the thirteenth inning record of Monday was to be repeated. Fate - destined otherwise, however, and in the eighth inning the Rich monders saw their finish when the Grays allowed Clayton to walk and Delany singled over first. Then Allen for a wonder and to encourage Richmond, fanned and Warren sent a scorcher across the dia mond which, was too horrid and torrid for short to handle and the bases filled up. Cranston then flew out to centre for a novelty and the Grays went crazy a wild throw by the catcher to third scored Delaney and Clayton. Crockett bad enough glory for one inning and flew out to centre. The day was an ideal one for base ball warm and calm. One thousand people saw the game and cheered in vain their team to victory. It was. about 4:05 P. M. when Umpire Clark called "play ball." Bigbie; for the Virginians, stepped up to the plate and flew out to centre. Fillman walked, and a ground hit by Traeger to short forced Fillman out at sec ond; 8a file did the same to third base, forcing out Traeger. Warren, for the Giants, got first on an error and Cranston and Crockett fanned -.Stafford sent a grounder to short, forcing out Warren. In the second inning Kain hit past second but was caught and re tired trying to steal second. Thomas and Warner popped out in short order and McGinnis, Hollywood and Clayton returned the compliment for Wilming ton. In the third inning Manners went out at first, Bass fanned, Bigbie got first on error and second on a single by Fillman. Traeger died on his way to 'first. For Wilmington, Delaney suffered the same, Allen singled and Warren made a beautiful drive to left field fence for two bags, scoring Allen. Cranston singled over second, scoring Warren, and stole second. Cranston and Stafford hit to second and were thrown out. In the fourth inning Baffle dupli cated Warren's drive to the fence for two bags; Kain was thrown out and Tnomas flew out to first for the tirays. Warner Walked and stole second when Cranston made a bad throw al lowing Baffle to score and advancing Warner to third. Manners was thrown out from third, retiring the side. For Wilmington McGinnis was thrown out at first; Hollywood singled past third, Clayton flew out and Delaney fanned. In the fifth inning Bass, Bigbee and Fillman went out in short order and for the Giants Allen, singled to centre. Warren and Cranston fanned, Crock ett singled and Stafford was thrown out. In the sixth inning Traeger singled, Baffle sacrificed, Kain, singled, and scored Traeger. Thomas interfered witty catcher and was called out. Warner popped out retiring the side. McGinnis and Hollywood went out easily for Wilmington, uxayton walked, Delaney singled, 'Allen made short fumble a red hot article and the bases were full. At this critical mo ment, be it said, Warren- fanned. In the seventh Manners and Bass went out auickly . from the infield, Bigbie hit safe through third, but Fill man popped out and Cranston, for the Giants, was thrown -out, Crockett maAp, a lonir drive to right for two bass. Stafford singled and stole second, McGinnis .flew out to right and Crockett scored on the throw home. Hollywood was thrown out. The story of the eighth inning and the two runs for Wilmington was told at the beginning it was too good to keen.

He is a pitcher of unusual ability and was with Tarboro last season. He came high but Manager Peschau has a bargain in him. No report of the game to day will be received until after it is played. The wires do not extend to the Portsmouth park and for this reason the detailed or score by innings could not be se cured. Aboat the Sbut-ont Taesdsyi The Richmond Dispatch,in speaking of Tuesday's game, in which Wil mington was shut out, has the follow ing notes: Bass will be in the box to-day for the "Gravs." "Young" Allen, who is called "the boy wonder," will do the twirling for the visitors. Allen is only 17 years old, and is said to be a comer. Thacaara bad the middle finger of the right hand broken in two places by a pitched bail, and bad to retire. He will be out of the game for several weeks and his loss will be felt by Wilmington. Clayton plays a sure game at short for the visitors. He has'made teveral excellent plays in the two games played. The game was not so one sided as the -score would seem to in dicate. It was full of gingerly playing on both sides. The coachers of the "Giants" do more effective work than the "Grays." Wake up. boys. "Get at 'em." V Foreman's slow delivery made the game fullv half an hour longer than it sffould have been. Warren is a good third baseman. His throwing to first is as pretty as can be desired. The Times in speaking of Thackara'a injury says his finger was only dislo cated and that "seven" men pulled it in place again. Let us hope it was not so bad as indicated by the Dispatch, Oa Other Diamonds Yesterday. Other games yesterday as reported by telegraph are as follows - At Newport News: 123456789 RHE News Hampton. 00020000 02; 6 4 Portsmouth JO 0 010 510 07; 7 2 Batteries: Lipp and West lake; Johnson and Foster.

John Avery, the negro who so mur derously assaulted Mr. Chas. Richter in his store on Fourth and 8 wann streets Tuesday night, has so far succeeded in keeping out of reach of the officers, although there was a close search made for him yesterday morning. In all probability he has skipped to other parts. Avery is a most desperate char acter." Within the past few weeks he has shot at several negroes in the vi cinity of Powers, Gibbs & Co.'s fac tory, one of whom received a bullet in the foot. If he is caught he should be sammarily dealt with. To Write Sporting News. Mr. Edmund R. Foster, of the A. O. L. relief department, is correspond ent of the Svortina Life, of St. Louis. "Polly" is well up on sporting news, especially base ball ; is a first class writer and will no doubt prove a valu able acquisition to the corps of bright correspondents scattered throughout the: United States. Mr. Foster will, ot course, continue his duties with the relief department. He is now prepar ing an attractive article on the base ball situation in the Virginia Carolina League. Reception to Dr. and Mrs. WeUsI A thoroughly enjoyable reception was given last night in the Abbie Chad bourn Memorial Hall by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church compli mentary to their new pastor. Rev. J.M.Wells, Ph. DM and wife. The . ' -.il A evening was very pieasantiy spent in deed and there were several beautiful musical selections. A course of light refreshments was served by the young ladies of the church. A Different Col. Woodruff. In justice to Col. Carl A. Woodruff, U. 8 A., the 8tar has been requested by several of his Wilmington friends to state that he is not the Col. C. A. Woodruff who is connected with the commissary scandal In Manila, but is now in command of Fort Slocomb, New. York City Subscriber-. t utv subscrioers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deli ver their papers. In alLsuch cases steps will- be taken to tnstur? promp and regular .deliver. MATTERS OF FINANCE Considered by the Board - of Al dermen at Special Meeting Last Night. BUDGET OF YEAR'S EXPENSES Was Arranged After Thorough' Considera tionEmbodies Several Important Provisions Numerous Other Items Passed Upon. The Board of Aldermen, all mem bers having been present, met last night and adopted the budget for the expenses of the city for the ensuing fiscal year. The amount apportioned to each department, as recommended by the finance committee of the Board, with the rami originally meted" Oit last year, arenas follows: v . DEPARTMENTS. 1900 1901 $30,000 21,231 20.984 6,950 3.800 . 3.0U0 10,143 1.370 12.800 7,751 1,000 8treeu and Wharves. .$29,900 21,031 . 21.174 Police. Fire Salaries 6.800 Hospital 2.000 Public Buildings 5,473 Lights 8.250 Markets 1.250 Water Works. 6,800 .... 3.800 .... 1,000 700 500 720 Sanitary Printing, etc. . Elections Prisoners coo Insurance 720 Miscellaneous 2,000 2.350 Totals $111,398 $122,599 The estimates, as adopted last night, will be transmitted to the Board of Audit and Finance for final action at a special meeting, which it is under stood will be called very soon. Each item in -he budget was gone carefully over by the Board and in cluded in the apportionment for sev eral of the departments are provisions for several new and radical changes. which are not apparent without expla nation, or a detailed statement. The apportionment for streets and wharves was shown by Chairman Bailey, of that committee, to be con siderably less than the amount ex pended last year, as during that time there were extra appropriations to this fund, which increased the whole amount for this purpose to about $51, 000. These extra appropriations were made after the original budget for last year was adopted. In the police department $200 was added for incidentals and the allowance of. Lieutenant of Police was allowed to remain, it being understood that either a lieutenant or extra sergeant would be -elected - at a subsequent meeting. Alderman Johnson wanted the pay of Chief of Police reduced from $1,200 per year to $900 but he was told by the Mayor that the Board of Audit and Finance had the fixing of air salaries and he withdrew hia motion after adverse remarks to his proposition by other Aldermen pres ent. The budget for the fire department was made somewhat smaller, as no Lew apparatus is to be bought. The apportionment for salaries was not changed. The apportionment for the hospital fund was increased to $3,800 as required by law for the main tenance of the hew institution. Pro vision was made under head of "Pub lic Buildings'- for repairs at Engine Company No. 1, Fourth street mar ket, remodelling of .the City Clerk and Treasurer's office and Mayor's office, and also for the fitting up of the band room in the basement of the City Hall for police headquarters. With these improvements there is, a reduotion in the amount of last year of about $2,500. Contracts were awarded to the wii mington Gas Light Company at about the same rate as last year for lighting the city and public buildings, and to Mr. W. T. Parker at $1,100 per year for attending the oil lamps. The market committee was allowed $120 per year extra for an assistant in -pprk.no in aanitarv condition the Under head of water works, $6,000 was appropriated, according to "plans of the city engineer, for the extension of fire mains into sections of the Fifth ward. The sanitary appropriation was in creased about $7 600 to allow the city to establish and operate its own scav enger system. It is conservatively estimated that from this source there will be additional revenue for the first year to more than pay for the establishment of the system, which will be under control of the city phy sidan. The other appropriations were al lowed to remain as they are except, upon motion of Alderman Harriss, the Mayor was allowed $350 for the pur chase of a horse and buggy, in which to ride about the city in looking after the various public works. The origi nal motion was for $250, but this was amended by Alderman Bailey increas ing the amount to $300 and later by Alderman Maunder to $350. In awarding the lighting contract, upon motion of Alderman Harriss, the committee was instructed to consider an alternative proposition by the Wil mington Gas Light Co. to furnish the city with enclbsed arc lights and im proved incandescent service for the back streets, provided the contract is awarded for five years. The contract for feeding the city prisoners was awarded to Mrs. Ellen Sheehan at 10 cents per meal. Other bidders were Mr. Reuben Grant, 9 cents, and Mrs. lary Conway, 9 cents. The contract was awarded the S. P Cowan Livery Company for feeding shoeing and caring for the city mules at $10.85 per month. Mr. & J. Davis bid $11 per month. : f ; i Alderman Baile offered a resolution making the extension of sewers in the city subject to the -approval of the Board of Health, Sanitary Committee of the Board and the Board in its en tirety. The motion prevailed and re scinds the resolution passed at last meeting regarding the matter. Upon motion of Alderman Von Glahn the chief quarantine officer was put under instructions of the Chief of Pohce when not engaged in the health department. It was ordered that the Hook and Ladder Hall on Fifth, near Castle street, be sold, under direction of the finance committee of the Board. Alderman Harriss offered an ordi nance which allows fire vehicles to be driven at any rate of speed desired, and giving such vehicles exclusive right of way over pedestrians and other conveyances. The ordinance was adopted. Alderman Maunder offered a list of policemen that he desired elected, but in the absence of a report from the cjasami ttee- ihe lit of 27-men was re ferred to that committee. Similar action was taken in the matter of a list of firemen tendered by Alderman Von Glahn under similar circum stances. A resolution was adopted, after de feat of several substitutes, by Alc'er- man Bailey, transferring the back tax matters to the present city attorney and allowing Iredell Meares, Esq., to continue the defence of city suits now in his keeping. An application of Mr. F. B. Brown to retail liquor at 513 Campbell street was, upon motion of Alderman Bailey. referred to a committee appointed by the Mayor as follows: Messrs. Parker, Sainner and Bailey. The Board then adjourned, after having been in session until 11 o'clock. THE SUPERIOR COURT. Weedon Case Concluded Damsge Suit Against Railroad Decided in Favor of the Defendant. In the Superior Court yesterday the jury in the Weedon case, mention of which has already been made in these columns, returned a verdict, after three hours' consultation, awarding the plaintiff $50 damage. In other word., they agreed to two months' delay caused by Mr. L. H. Vollers, the contractor, and that $25 per month was a reasonable sum. The only other case tried yesterday was a damage suit brought by L. H. Barnes against the Atlantic Coast Line Company, which was taken up immediately upon the conclusion of the Weedon suit.) Only about two hours was consumed in the hearing and the jury promptly brought in a verdict for the defendant company, having answered in the negative the first issue, "Was plaintiff injured by negligence of defendant?" and answers to the other issues having been un necessary in view of the verdict rendered in the first instance. The verdict was entirely in keeping with the Judge's charge, who, upon the conclusion of plaintiff's testimony, stated to the jury that if members of the same believed the evidence as sub mitted, they would bring in a verdict for the defendant. L.V. Grady, Esq., attorney for the plaintiff, took excep tion, waived notice and was allowed to appeal in forma pauperis. The plaintiff was allowed thirty days to file statement of case on appeal and de fendant was given thirty days to file counter statement. The plaintiff was an employe of the A. C. L. car shops in this city and sued for $5,000 alleged damages sustained in an accident by falling over a lumber pile in the yards on June 1st, 1900. The defendant company, through Junius Davis, isq., nied an an swer to the complaint, denying the allegations upon all the material points, and setting up the claim of contributory negligence. The jury to which the issues were submitted was as follows: Jno. W. Monroe, Jarl Mugge, Elijah Walton, Geo. Sloan, H. Rehder, Samuel Hard wick, Z. N. Walton, Lewis Gordon, A. J. Hill, O. M. Dubois, O. A. Wiggins, S. Seigler. The cases of J. H. Sloan vs. R. E. Lee, Laura G. Hales vs. Jno. W. Harper, and A. G. Ricaud, receiver, vs. w. n.

APOPLEXY CAUSED DEATH. Was in Seventy-sixth Year of His Are and Passed Away Very Unexpect edlyThe Poneral Will be Held Tbls Morning. The Star chronicles with peculiar and profound regret this morning the death of Col. T. C. Mcllhennv: a native and one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Wilming ton. CoL Mcllhenny's death occurred in his rooms at the Bonitz House some time during Tuesday night and was not discovered unti yesterday morn ing soon after a servant went to his apartments as usual to awake' him and found that the door was locked. The matter was reported to Mr. J. H. W. Bonitz, proprietor of the hotel, who fearing that something was wrong, summoned members of the family to the scene. Mrs. Sarah Lockhart, a' daughter, was first to arrive and at her command the door was forced open and she was shocked to find her father lying upon the bed with the breath of life gone. His clothing had not been remcwed and hia hat was still upon his hlad, which leads to the natural presumption that soon after going to his room Tuesday night he was strioken with some pain and fell across the bed, with the hope of re covering in a few minutes and sum moning aid. His body was lying nat urally, and there was nothing indi cating but that he passed peacefully away in the quiet and solitude of the night. Dr. C. D. Bell, who visited the bed side soon after the death was discov ered, pronounced that Col. Mcllhenny died as the result of a stroke of apo plexy about twelve hours before. Col. Mcllhenny was in the 76th year of his age, and enjoyed the con fidence and friendship of all who knew him. He was born in Wilming ton, and has lived here practically ever since.
