ton and representatives of the jobbers
by whom they are employed, met last
night in the Merchants'; Association
rooms in tne 8eaboard Air Line build
ing for the purpose of organizing- an
association of themselves for mutual
benefit. ' j
The- meeting was well, attended
and thoroughly enthusiastic, and was
csdles
Mr. F. A. Lord, was made tmiMwa'
chairman and Mr. J. Stevenson Brown
temporary secretary. The object of the
gathering was briefly and concisesly
stated by the chairman and upon mo
tion of Mrv Bunting it "was decided
definitely to form the association in
yiew and the following committee was
appointed on by laws and constitution :
W. 8, Bunting, with Hall & PearsaiL
incorporated; B. Schulken, with the
Adrian Company; and Jj S, Brown,
with the J. C. Stevenson Company. .
Mr. C D. French suggested the
propriety of having the jobbers im
press upon their salesmen the desira
bility and importance of connecting
themselves with the proposed associa
tion. This was followed by timely
suggestions by others present and the
following resolutions offered by Mr.
J. EL Mallard were unanimously
adopted: , I
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the committee appointed
to submit at the next meeting a con-,
stitution and by-laws for the govern
ment of this association shall incorpo
rate, in this instrument fines for giving
rebates, violation of contracts and any
discourteous or culpable conduct from
one salesman towards another, ealcu
lated to reflect upon the character
either of the salesman or the house he
represents. j
Resolved, That the above are some
of the fundamental rules; upon which
this association shall be established,
and that until the adoption of the con
stitution these principles sha'l be con
sidered in force.
Upon the adoption of these resolu
tions Mr. C. D. French moved for an
adjournment until next Saturday
night week, when permanent organi
zation will be effected. It is hoped by
this, time to have many more applica
tions for membership, j and to place
the Association upon a sound and
beneficial baste TO klaentified with it
Tne movement to organize is a result
of the recent visit to Wilmington of
the president of the Southern Whole
sale Grocers Association, and has
every prospect of abundant success.

and outplayed the Skippers at every
point in the contest. Vorhees was

Notes of the Game.
Old man Vorhees made 'em y."
yesterday.
Although the "Giants" lost two of
the games with the "Crew of . the
Mary Jane," the scores, as a whole,
show how evenly the two teams- are
matched. '
The Wilmington B. B, lunatics are
feeling better now.
Now don't expect the Wilmiugton
"Giants" to win every one of the fif
teen games to . be played here during
the next three' weeks. There would
be no fun in thai. Gfosely contested
games, whichever side wins, is what
draws the crowds.
If Charlotte comes into the league,
as seems more than possible, it would
add to the gaiety of the season. The
Charlotters are said to be going base
would turn out big crowds atbe home,
grounds. '
Every dead game sport will go to
Hilton Park next week ; and they'll
all get the worth of their money, too.
A special to the Richmond Dispatch
from Norfolk says : "The story to the
effect that the Portsmouth club will
disband, and that this may result in
the wreck of the Virginia-Carolina
League, is without foundation. It is
reliably stated that Portsmouth will be
backed by new capital for awhile lon
ger, and if the club does not pay, the
franchise and players will be trans
ferred to Charlotte, N. C , which, like
Raleigh and Wilmington, is base ball
mad. The Charlotte people are very
anxious to enter the league, and at the
first chance will buy a franchise. The
prospects for a successful base ball
season is very bright."
Under Nstional League Rules.
Washington, May 4 President
N. E Young, of the National League
Base Base Clubs, announced to-day
that the following organizations had
qualified and paid for protection un
der the national agreement for 1901:
The Southern Association, Class B,
R. T. Kent, president; the Virginia
North Carolina League, Class C, E.
H. Cunningham, president
the Games Here Thl Week.
The Giants will arrive home on the
A. C. L. train this evening, and will
most likely be accompanied by Ash-
enback's aggregation from Newport
News, who have three games here
with the locals, beginning Monday.
Thursday Norfolk begins three games
here, and Newport goes to Raleigh;
then the first of next week Wilming
ton goes to Raleigh for three games,
and Raleigh returns with Wilmington
here for three games the last half of
that week. Then the following week
Richmond comes for three games, and
the last half of same week Portsmouth
comes. Then Wilmington goes to
Richmond for three games, and New
port and Norfolk return for three
games each.
It is hoped that Umpire Clark will
be here for the games this week.

FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS.
Trial Consumed Greater Portion of the
9Dsy in Federal Court, Which Con
tinues to This Week Number
of Uninteresting Matters.
The Federal $ourt was engaged for
a greater portion of yesterday in the
trial of H. T. Allen, of Laurinburg,
charged with fraudulent use of the
mails. It was 5:30 o'clock in the after
noon when the jury took the case and
within about five minutes it rendered
a verdict of guilty, although the de
fendant bad plead not guilty.
The case was taken up at 11 A. M.,
Jan H, -Cook, E. -ef-Maartcqh -p
pearing for. the defence and District
Attorney Bernard and Assistant At
torney Spears conducting the prose
cution. Postoffice Inspector J ere Con
nally, who worked up the case with ex
ceedingcleverness, was the first witness
and gave substantially the same testi
mony as that printed in these columns
soon after the arrest Of his trip to
Laurinburg he said he found no labo
ratory, no "Doctor Allen," but an or
dinary printer, who had assumed the
prefix r "Dr." for business purposes.
He also testified as to having seen no
"Station A" at Laurinburg and also as
to his methods of collecting the evi
dence. The next witnesses were W.
S. Booth, of Rochester, N. Y. ; L. H.
Petty, of ParBon, Tenn , who made
purchases of recipes and Confederate
moneyNfrom Allen ; J. H. Gregory, of
Morris Plains, N. J., who sent $2 to
the defendant- simultaneously with an
inquiry to the postmaster at Laurin
burg as to Allen's standing and who
received a return of his money upon
the postmaster's inquiry of Allen;
Ira 8, Cleary, of Columbus, Ga , who
received circulars .but did not pur
chase; R. W. Cavaness, of Southern
Pines, N. C, who purchased recipes
and Condfederate money; H. J.
Channel, of Broofcwood, Ala, who
sent along $10 and received seventy
five fac simile $5 notes of old conti
nental currency, ten recipes and ten
copies of a Guide to Wealth," price

side of registered letters and of his

Allen from the Postoffice Department
L, H. Matthews, of Teachey's, N. C ,(
and Alfred Prevatt. of Lumberton,
testified as to purchases
After the recess for dinner, Allen
went upon the stand and claimed
legitimacy for his rcheme, and pointed
out to the court that he had a large
family and received the small salary
of $25 per month. .
There was argument, then by coun
sel, District Attorney Bernard making
an especially strong appeal for the
prosecution, and Jno. H. Cook, Esq.,
for the defence.
