CREOSOTED CROSS TIES.
Remarkable Record of the Power of the
Splrittlne Wood Preserver.
When the Hon. John D. Bellamy
began the construction of the Wil
mington Street Railway in May, 1897,
he had several hundred sap pine cross
ties treated with the wood preserver
; of the Spirittine Chemical Company,
of this city. General Manager Hanson
superintending the work. These ties,
which under normal conditions would
not last more than two years, are be
ing removed to-day (inra most perfect
state of preservation, because they are
too small; being 4x6) for the heavy
rail that is being laid. The spirittine
wood preserver manufactured by the
Spirittine Chemical Company is no
longer an experiment, having atood
the most rigid test successfully for
fourteen years. The oil, owing to
certain chemical ingredients with
which it is treated, Jias thoroughly
penetrated the wood and consequent
ly made it very much harder and
stronger, as was proven yesterday by
sawing one of the tieaLin two. The
spikes v that held the rails are so se
cured that they can scarcely be with
drawn. The -odor, too, is 'almost as
'strong and distinct as when the oil
was put in fourteen years ago.

Five hundred people yesterday after
noon saw the Giants- take the game
from AshenbackV Shipbuilders by a
score of six to three. It was a splen
did exhibition and the weather condi
tions were very favorable to the sport.
It looked at first as if the Virginians
had gone in to win and the heart of
the average Wilmington rooter began
to become faint when Newport went
up and Deisel walked and was fol
lowed by a sacrifice by Sechrist and a
hot liner N to third, scoring Deisel.
Ashen back's fellows then went to
work playing hard ball and Wilming
ton was unable to follow with a score.
Both sides were playing hardball.
when Hsmpleman led off for New
port with a hit to right for three bags
and after Renner had fanned was
scored by a single past second by Hie
berger. Then it was that the Giants realized
that they must play ball if they would
win and with the score two to nothing,
Clayton put on his batting clotnes and
singled to left, followed by Allen,
who hit through 'short and sent Clay
ton flying to third. Thackara fanned
and Warren aingled to left upon which
with a beautiful alide to the plate,
Clayton scored; Stewart aingled to
short and Alien flew into home like
a high diver; Cranston hit safe and
slow to first and Stewart and Warren
scored; Cranston stole second; Crock
ett fanned; McGinnis hit safe on er
ror to short and on a slow throw from
second Cranston went under the wire
in two-forty time, making five runs
in the single inning.
It was extremely' hard, fast and
clever ball playing from then to the
eighth inning, when Wilmington
made another run and in the ninth
Newport News got another making its
score three. Wilmington did not
take her half of the ninth.
In the eighth, after not allowing the
visitors to score, Clayton went up and
walked and stole second; Allen made
a long drive to left and the "Kid"
went around the bases like at whirl
wind finally landing on the home
plate, after an ineffectual throw to
Ashenback, calculated to retire him
Allen stole second but on beautiful
run to third was thrown out. Thackara
and Cranston .fanned, Warren and
Stewart haying aingled to left and
past second in the meantime.
Ashenback's boys got their run in
the ninth on a long drive for three
bags to deep centre with a hot liner
over second ' by Sechriat after High
and Diesel had flown out to left and
first .Weddige made the last out by
being thrown out from left by Allen
to first . .' . ... .

Umpire, Mr. Staley. .; r
.. Notes of the Games. y
A commendable feature of the Wil
mington team is the good feeling ex
isting among the members. There are
no petty jealousies among them, and
they always speak well of each other.
Stewart is improving in his curves,
and before the' season is over he will
rank with the best pitchers . in the
league.
The "Shipbuilders" received gener
ous applause yesterday on their good
plays. Tbis is as it should be. Noth
ing is lost by courtesy to bur visitors.
Ashenback "is a whole team within
himself. He has the grand stand al
ready, and ' will make a bid . for the
bleaxhen to ay jnSe is good natured
and generous to a fault It is refresh
ing, to see him ' play when he is los
ing.--- -.-;, - . ,,,-v-. :. - .vv:
There are no stolen bases on Thack
ara. His work yesterday, in throwing
ing out the Shipbuilders at second will
probably teach them a lesson in suc
ceeding gamea. '
Some of the Virgi nian-PiloV s obser
vations of Saturday's game with Nor
folk are as follows:' '
"Wilmington certainly has a strong
aggregation and the team that beats
them will know they have been play
ing ball."
"Vorhees, who twirled for the Wil
mington aggregation, had a horse shoe
concealed about him somewhere, for
wnile he sent them up over tne plate
as big as balloons, the Norfolk men
could not hit xthem safely. He re
ceived very eleyer support and won."
The Portsmouth Athletic Associa
tion, with Winfield Clark manager,
is now at the back of the team from
that city anjL haa plenty of money.
The team is to be strengthened at once
and put on a winning basis.
In the loss of the game by King
Kelley's red . birds on their home dia
mond yesterday, the Raleigh team ties
Wilmington' for third . place in the
per centage column. Another game
from Newport "News to-day ought to
put the Giants at second place. .
Portsmouth showed yesterday in its
shut out of Richmond that she is
bound to come sooner orffsteri The
Brownies no longer bring up the rear
in the per centage column.
The game to day will be well worth
the seeing. The Newport News aggre
gation is now reported to be even a
stronger team than Norfolk, Nelson
having left the last named club Satur
day night, and the really close games
this week may be depended upon, to
come from Ashenback and his clever
playerefrom the shipbuilding town.

A LENGTHY SESSION.
Board of Aldermen in Session
Last Night to the Morn
ing t Hour - V"
SEWERAGE QUESTION AGAIN.
Provoked Lively Discussion, Bat Went
Over to-Speclsl Meeting To-morrow
Nlrht Policemen Elected and
Salaries Were Restored.
It was morning when last night's
regular meeting of the Board of Aiders
men adjourned; and the adjournment
then was to Wednesday night when
the multitude'of matters for consider
ation will be further acted upon.. -
; Perhaps the mosLspiritftd. discussion
during the meeting :last night was in
regard to the granting of the franchise
to the ; Wilmington Sewerage Com
pany for the establishment of a sys-;
tern of sewerage in. the city according
to plans recently approved by the
county and State boards of health.
The matter came up under head of the
report of the Sewerage Committee,
Alderman Bailey, chairman, and in
voked quite an animated discussion,
after which' the matter was left over
to the special . meeting to-morrow
night.' Alderman Bailey asked the
delay as he said he desired further
times for more thorough research into
the plans and specifications. A letter
from Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, attorney
for the corporation, was read
and Mr. Bellamy s also addressed
the board xat some length. Dr.
George G. Thomas, president of
the State Board of Health, also
spoke favorably of the plans, as
did City Engineer Jos. H. McRee and
Major Ives and Col. Lewis' of the
Sewerage Company. Members of the
Board also discussed the .question at
some length but decided to postpone
action as stated.
All members of the Board were
present,- Mayor Waddell presiding.
-Communications from, the Board of
Audit and Finance stated that the
appropriation for the establishment
of a municipal scavenger system had
not been approved for the reason that
it was not considered practicable.
Upon motion- of Alderman Harriss
theSanitary Committee of the Aldermen
was requested to appear before the
Finance Board and urge the appro
priation, explaining its desirable and
economical features.
Concurrence by the j&nance Board
in the proposition to sell the Fifth
Ward Hook and Ladder building was
reported, provided the property
brought . as much as . $1,200. Upon
strong appeals of Aldermen . Parker
and Mann ' the Aldermen rescinded
their original action in ordering the
sale of the propei ty, the same to be
used in the future for rental. It was
also reported that the .Finance Board
approved the recenjL action of the Al
dermen authorizing the treasurer
to turn' over to the city at
torney the back tax books, provided
same is amended authorizing Iredell
Meares, Esq , to be retained in all
suits in which pleadings were filed
prior to April 1st, 1901.V The Finance
Board also inquired in a communica
tion why; the contract for feeding
prisoners had been awarded to Mrs.
Jane Sheehan at ten . cents per meal
when there was a bid for nine cents.
The Board requested the Mayor to ex
plain that Mrs.. Sheehan had long
filled the contract with eminent satis
faction and her bid was considered the
lowest, taking all circumstances into
