Manager Peschau treated his home- patrons to a double-header at the base ball park yesterday afternoon for the price of one and as a reward for his generosity in this direction,- the two games with Newport News the first a league contest and the latter an ex hibition game were witnessed by something over 600 people. In both games Ashenback's pets ost and lost badly The league game resulted in a score of 8 to 0 in favor of the Giant and the exhibition con test was lost to the Shipbuilders by a score of 12 to lr The score indicates that both "were one sided games but they were not so much that way as one would imagine. Captain Stafford's boys were in the game from start to finish, and no team in this or any other league baa played faster ball this sea son. The Shipbuilders in the first game the one that counts played well, but the Giants were too much for them. In the second contest they did not do so well, but it was a fair article of ball just the same. Hierberger was hit freely in both games while Foreman made monkeys of all of them in the first and Allen did almost as much in the exhibition. Hierberger was a slow twirler and the Giants batted him all oyer the field at oppor tune times. Stafford in the, seventh inning of the first game made one of the greatest hits of the year. There 'were no men on bases, but he squared himself for one of Hier berger's slow balls and sent it out of sight. over the left field fence in the direction of the North Carolina Cotton Oil Mills. It went a comfortable distance above all the trees, and set the grand stand and bleacheries wild. He followed this with another three-bagger during the first game, and in the exhibition he got two others of the same kind. Clayton, in both games, played the finest short ever seen here, and did well with the stick. Foreman was never better, and pulled himself out of a deep hole in the first game by superb MANY WERE RETIRED AT FIRST. work. He had allowed three men to walk with only one man down, and all three of the promenaders were on bases. He made one of the next up beat the air. and the third man down went out from the infield. Warren also played good ball and hit welL The Invincible Tacks' Allen also did splendidly, and well sustained his great reputation of hav ing won five - out of the six games pitched. . ' Cranston did exceedingly well be hind the bat in the exhibition, and did some fine base running.- At one point in the game an effort was made to catch him at second, but he turned round and flew back to first V and finally succeeded in landing safe by a long slide though both basemen were right upon him.

To-day the "Giants" will meet "foe- men worthy of their steel." There was a mistake in the Stab's per centage column as to Raleigh yes terday morning. It is corrected to day. Stafford's wonderful drive over left field fence was the leading feature of the games yesterday, and was vigorously applauded. Vorhees is expected to-day on the S, A. L. train from Charlotte. Me will pitch one of the games with Norfolk and will win it Warren was at his best yesterday. He was tickled with the Stab's grave yard rabbit foot before going in the field and this gave him good luck. The anxiety to witness the great struggle between the "Giants'' and the "Skippers" is expected to draw the biggest crowd of the season to day. The crowd "went wild" yesterday . . m at- J i vl over the Dase-running oi -xteaay Cranston. His clever work in dodg ing the "Shipbuilders" between first and second bases evoked side-splitiog laughter. Manager Pesohau has farmed Osteen to the Newport News team for two months. This means that when Manager Peschau wants him back again, he can get him. He left with the team last night for Raleigh. Seabring, Wilmington's new. left fielder from Williamsport, Pa., will get here to-day. He comes on "Tacks" Allen's recommendation, as Clayton did earlier in the season., and if he is as "fine" as Clayton- he's all right President Cunningham, of the League, will be along with the Norfolk team from Raleigh on the A. OL L. train this morning. All large men in the city are expected at the Park to "compare with him" this afternoon. . Thackara slightly injured his thumb In the first game yesterday, and was unable to catch the second game. He will be incapacitated for the Norfolk game to-day, but "Reddy" ' Cranston will be behind the plate, and all will be welL Stewart will pitch the game" to-day and will win it r. The reason that the second game yesterday was an exhibition contest is that according to league rules no double headercan be played lu the first series without the consent of both managers and Ashenback would not agree to a double-header and its well for Ashenback that he didn't The postponed game will be played here when Newport comes again.

Plans of Wilmington Sewerage Co. Adopted Last Night by Board of Aldermen. AFTERPIRITED DISCUSSION. Number of Routine Matters Considered at the Special Meeting Health Officers Elected New Patrol Wagon. For Street Improvement The Board of Aldermen wrestled again last nighty with the sewerage problem and wrestled with perhaps a little more animation, but with less length than at Monday nights meet ing, when midnight found thecouh:' cil still in session, pondering over the multitude of routine matters that had been temporarily set aside earlier in tbe evening to ' give' place to the sew erage discussion. At last night's meeting Mayor Wad- dell, and all. members were present except Alderman Speneer aad in the Hectare adverse report from the Sewerage Committee, consisting- off Aldermen Bailey ,Y VonGlahn and Mann, the franchise was granted to the Wilmington Sewerage Company altera heated discussion mainly be tween members of the Board. To use a baseball phrase the sewer age question was "first up" and Al derman Bailey offered the following report : Gentlemen Your Committee on Sewers beg to make the following re port: We asked officially in our last report of the Wilmington Sewerage Company the following -questions: (1) What is the size of the precipitate ing chamber! (2) Will the chamber have the capacity, without overflow ing, to hold the accumulated sewage until filtered off! (3) Will the fiilter perform the functions for which it is intenaea i i) is were a uaouity or tbe filter becoming . clogged, disar ranged, or otherwise out of order? (5) What price is the Wilmington Sewerage Company going to charge per connection, for sewage service the maximum and minimum price? (6) Will they indemnify the city, of Wilming ton for all damage in the event the precipitating chamber or the filter or the process fails to oxidize the organic matter in the sewage before discharg ing into Burnt Mill Creek? . These questions remain unanswered although we met the representative of the Wilmington Sewerage Company. as per promise and appointment,Tues day morning, 7th inst, at 9 o'clock, at the omce of J. tL. MeKee, city engi neer. The representatives of the Wil mington' Sewerage Company stated before this Board at the last meeting. that the plans they submitted con formed to the HVring plans. We find this is not the case, for the size of some of the mains are reduced., as is also the case with many of the laterals, from eight inches, in the Herring plans, to six inches in the plans submitted by the Wilmington Sewerage Company. In addition, where the Herring plans call for man holes, the Wilmington Sewerage Com- L wtawftw'a nlana m11 frw lamn Vk nlna Tha I pany's plans call for lamp holes. The sewer plan known as the Herring plan was prepared by -Kudolph Herring, who was the recognized authority in the United States-on sanitation,- for the city of Wilmington, and he was paid for this work fifteen hundred dollars. On account of these alterations and, also on account of the Wilmington Sewer Company failing to answer the questions officially asked by your com-, mittee. we are obliged to report ad versely to the plans of the Wilming ton Sewerage Company. very respectfully, E. P. Bailey, W. O. VonGlahn, W. E. Mann. Upon motion of Alderman Harriss the report was "received and. filed" and in lieu of an adoption of the same he offered the following: "That the plans submitted by the Wilmington Sewerage Company and -approved by the State Board of Health and the Board of Health of the city of Wil mington be approved by thislBoard." This was amended by. Alderman Parker to include the proviso that the efaaitfl aa m noMtr mwa varttit-f-Avt mien. anteethatit will extend the system within three months after water pipes are laid by the water worxs com pany." An ayefand nay vote resulted as fol lows: Aye, -Messrs. Harriss, West, Parker and Skinner; nay, Messrs. Bailey, Mann, Johnson and Von Glahn. It then devolved upon Mayor Waddell to cast the deciding ballot, which he did by a vote of aye.. After the decision by the Mayor Mr. Bailey asked that he be recorded as voting "aye." Mr. Maunder, who was en grossed with other matters and did not vote at firat, also asked to be re corded "aye." Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, attorney for the Philadelphia capitalist- who have .spent six weeks in the city in a hitherto fruitless effort to get a franchise and who left the city in a very much incohcilittory mood Tuesday night, was seen after the meeting last night and asked if he believed the gentle men would return to the city ' and take up the work. He replied that he did not know but that a very strong effort would be made to induce them to return. "r"t Other matters Before the Board. ' Upon " the .recommendation of the Board of Health Mr. E. W. Hewlett was elected a permanent health officer, making the complement of three, and Mr. T. H. Johnson was elected to a temporary position in that department during the Summer months. -In compliance with a request of Mr. W. H. Sprunt he was allowed to " re place the fence on the Stone foundation around his residence at Third and Grace streets, he having agreed to move the same back to the street line when adjoining fences are thus re moved. The various monthly reports were read and adopted. '-ft An application of Clerk Chadwick at Fourth street market for restoration, of his lalary WHOLE NO. 10,521 from $25 to S40 per month, was re f erred to the Market Committee. . Certain property owners petitioned that Third street between Hanover and Harnett streets ' be improved. The petition went to the committee. The Chief of Police was authorized to rent a patrol wagon until another could be purchased in the place of the one now in the service and unfit for use. The meeting then adjourned. A number of gentlemen were asked after the meeting as to the significance of Mr. Bailey's vote in the affirmative on the sewerage question after his original vote of nay and the very pro nounced resistance that he had off erect to the franchise all along. Mr. Bailey himself was rather disinclined to dis cuss it, but it is suggested that at a future meeting he desired by thus voting to move for a reconsideration. REPORTS FROM HAIL STORM. Tbe Damsf e Is Immense In Seme Sections of the Trucking Belt. The Stab yesterday published pretty full accounts of the hail orm through out many sections of the East Carolina belt The following specials were re ceived last night: crtrwr OtxrmJ iXi May 8. The extent of the damage by the. hail storm yesterday afternoon may be gathered from the fact that Capt C. B. Elmore, of this place, conceded to have had five acres of the . finest berries in our county, suffered almost a complete loss by the hail. He was offered by one of our commission men $800 a few days ago and to-day you can get his crop f or$50. The hail in his field after the storm was about four inches deep and in drifts almost twelve, inches. Such a storm has never been seen in this country be fore. Not only Capt Elmore has lost but several others have suffered severely. Mr. B. W. Southeriand's crop was badly injured. The storm appeared to have taken a streak about one-half or three quarters of a mile wide for several miles. The estimated loss in this section is about ten thou sand crates of berries. Currie, N. O, May 8. Strawberries were damaged to the extent of about one-half within a radius of two miles of this place. Elsewhere the damage is about one -fourth. Other crops are not so badly damaged.
