C. Cov ington & Co., just in the rear of their store on Water street. ; A. fire oc curred further north in tha tame building about 6 o'clock yesterday evening in some hay in the ware house of Capt Jas. I. Metts, but the firemen are positive in the statement tbat the flames could not have origi nated fronvthat source. A clean sweep of the river front to the Clyde wharf was made, including the large twostory brick building oc cupied as offices by J. H. Sloan, Capt. Metts, J. B.. Turrentine & Co., and others, on Water street; about the middle of the block. Messrs. Covington & Co., estimate their loss at about $15,000, fully co? ered by insurance; next oh the wharf was a store room filled with lime and cement, belonging to Roger Moore's Sons & Co., and valued at $2,000, partially insured; next was Capt. Metts1 warehouse containing hay. grain and flour valued at about $4,000. fully covered by insurance ;U next there was a loss of, perhaps $1,000 to goods belonging to the Wilmington Brokerage Company, insurance un known ; next under the shed was the wholesale grocery stock of 8. P. Mc Nair, valued at $30,000, which Mr. McNair says is about three-fourths covered by insurance? next was the river steamer uumax oeing ouin oy the Merchants' and Farmers' Trans portation Co., and rained $,000, upon which General Manager T. D. Love says he has $3,000 insurance with J. H. Boat wright & Son. The Clyde wharf was uninjured. On and near the line of Water street was the Schlits Brewing Company's plant, which was damaged about $1,000 and covered by insurance with J. VanB. Melts; S. P. McNair's office was slightly damaged. Next was the A. C. L. building occupied as offices by J. H. Sloan, Capt. Metts, J B. Turrentinjs Co . & and Smith & Gilchrist The Sloan loss could not be learned but will approximate about $1,000; other losses were J. R. Turrentine & Co., office and warehouse on the Wharf, omitted above,- estimated by Mr. Turrentine at $10,000, with $2,000 f insurance; 8miih & Gilchrist, office, $200, covered- by insurance; Captain Metts, office and fixtures, $100, no insur ance. The small buildings adjoining on the south, occupied jby W. A. Whitehead & Son and Wilmington Brokerage Company, were, partially destroyed.

Gilligan and his crew managed to get the "Good Ship Mary Jane" pumped out and caulked in time for yesterday afternoon's sail about the diamond at Hilton but though Dannehower held a steady hand and a clear head at the wheel with Gwaltney in the engine room be hind the plate, the "Mary J." was soon on the shoals again and her gal- ant captain was unable to save her rom the wreck that the Giants have had up their sleeves for the ill-fated craft ever since the League opened. Stewart was in the box for thsGiants and the inimitable Cranston behind the plate. Dannehowervfiid well the honors for the visitors and Gwaltney caught him a splendid game. - The Giants scored three runs in the first inning and the Skippers one in the second, but after that time neither team scored and - goose eggs were chalked up galore until Norfolk was retired in the ninth, and the Giants refused their privilege at bat leaving the score three to one. Tnirteen hundred people crowded the grand stand and bleacheries, and the Second Regiment Band was play ing, when promptly at 4:30o'clockMr, Staley called play ball. Norfolk came up ad Spratt was out at first; Smith fanned and Mullen hit hot anj safe to third; E. Gilligan went to centre for two bags; Reddy is out from third. Wilmington came up for her only three and winning runs. Cranston walks and steals second; Crockett singles past short; McGinnis fans and Stafford hits to deep left for three bags, scoring Cranston and Crockett ; Clayton pops fly to McDade ; Alien singles to right, scoring Stafford Warren hits hot to short, but is out at first on Smith's fut assist. Norfolk came up and made her lone run of the game on a "slight" error of "Tacks" Allen, who afterwards over came it by good fsst playing. Mor risey had gone to Delaney; McDade had walked and "Bobby" Gwaltney had made a beautiful sacrifice, sending McDade to second ; Dannehower came up and hit a "sockdologer" to "Tacks" down in left field, who was observing the weather and wondering if the rain gods were going to allow us to beat the Skippers in at leaast a five-inning game. He failed to connect with the ball and McDade went over the plate. Spratt beat the air furiously three times and Stewart smiled. It was the last run of the game but the rooters didn't knqw it and proceeded to get up steam. Wilmington came up and Crans ton got the only single oyer second base. It looked gloomy in the third, when Mullen, after Smith had gone out from pitch, hit way . down in centre for three bags. Stewart pulled him self out of a very ugly hole by allow ing the two Gilligans only two little infield hits. Stafford fanned for Wil mington secon'd time this season and Allen got the only single. In the fourth, and fifth the teams went out almost in their batting order. with the exception of singles by Allen, and Warren, upon which Stafford was thrown out in a daring attempt to cross the plate. In the sixth, eHHigan, was caught namrinsr by Stewart on first after a single to left; "RedOy" Gilligan was retired on a beautiful catch by Delaney over his shoulder in right field; Morrisey went out from short. For Wilmington, Delaney and Btewr art fanned and Cranston flew out to left. . . - In the seventh McDade brushed the atmosphere; Gwaltney went out to centre; Dannehower singled over BAcnnd : Snratt singles to right but Smffh fanned. For Wilmington Staf ford got the only single. In the eighth, Mullen beatrthe air; E. Gilligan got a single, and "Reddy" auifoaft hit to second", who made a beautiful double to Stafford at first Allen and Delaney fanned, and War ren went out to Morrisey. " -r In ihe ninth, Morrisey was hit; Mc Dade went out to centre; Gwaltney fanned and Dannehower went out from pitch. - - , ' " The features of the game for Nor folk, were the fast inflejding of Smith at short, Dannehower's pitching, and the ' Stick work of Gilligan, E. ; for Wilmington: it waa "Stewart's heavy inflelding and pitching, ; Delaney's work in right and Allen's batting. r " .- BOORB BY OTnjffaS.

Yesterday's crowd at Hilton was the largest that has ever witnessed a game in the league this season at any point. - Foreman and Cranston will likely compose Wilmington's battery to-day, while Morrisey will be at the helmn for the "Mary Janera" and Gwaltney behind the bat The Giants have not lost a game this week and will not' lose the' one this afternoon. It is unfortunate that President Cunningham and Secretary Doran, of the League, are here under such painful circumstances. Their team has came dangerously near being shut out both days. If Raleigh loses to-day's game and Wilmington should win again from Norfolk, Wilmington will bs at the top of the per centage column. She will be there, it is certain, before the end of next week with a good safe ead. Proud Norfolk has at last been taken from first position in the percentage column And Wilmington did it ! ! 1 ! The neonle are asked tomkeen their seats each afternoon until The last man is out Wilmington has lost no less than two games on . account of the at tention of its players being drawn by the wholesale exodus of people from the grounds. The Newport News Herald aays: "A telegram received at this office from Manager Ashenbach last night states that he has released short stop Renner and has signed a player by the name of Osteon to play short in his place. . Osteon is unknown to most of the 'fans' here and his ability re mains to be seen.- Renner, who was re leased, was brilliant at times, but was notateady enoueh. He may become so. bat it was rather cesUy waiting for t -x - l - J II. . t JL. Wis to nappe u sou manager aura bach has been trying to fill the place for some time." There was no game either at Ra leigh or Richmond yesterday on ac count of rain. ' " a Richmond Team Beinf Reorganized. Richmond, Va , May 10. The own ers of the Richmond team have order ed a general shake up in the personnel of the team. Fillman . and Gans will be released. Berte, who played short stop here in the Atlantic League, has been signed. Garnett of Charleston, 8.

Sections of the Track Belt Again Visited Yesterdsy Afternoon Mach Dam age Is Wrought. Sections of the trucking belt conti guous to Wilmington were visited by another very severe hail storm yes terday afternoon and the damage to crops, especially strawberries, is thought to be great in the communh ties visited. Mr. B. J. Rivenbark, who came in last evening from Mount Olive, brings report of a very heavy fall from ' that point as far down as South Washing ton. At Willard it waa especially severe and insome of the sections the stones were several inches deep on the ground, - . . A produce commission solicitor, of the many hundred; that are now in this territory, saidyesterday afternoon in speaking of the first storm Tuesday, that hedid not care to go in the mar ket just ' yet, until the effects of the storm are posted, as all berries now in the sections visited by the storm are of Inferior quality and size. With the storm yesterday afternoon it . is very probable that the damage to strawberries alone will run away up in the thousands. The following special from Ivan hoe, on the A & Y. railroad, was re ceived last night: Ivanhob, N. C May 10. A severe hail - storm visited this section this afternoon, beginning at "4:55 P. M. and continuing until 5 $5 P. M., with a heavy rain. ; The size of the hail stones was from the size of a bird's egg to that of a goose egg.; Consider able damage resulted to crops, and the glass windows in many houses were brokpn. A second, fall of hail came about twenty.minutee later and lasted for twelve, minutes. ; The. hail stones were the largest ever seen here, tome of them picked ufp after the storm Having peen two ana p quarter xuuea in diameteR7i:'.- x:' vjiocal mark in the Stab to day on account of the Memorial Day holiday syd thewtsif; 1901. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The Observance at Oakdale Yes- - - ----- terday Was Very Pretty and highly Appropriate. ORATION BY CAPT. DENS0N. Wis Feelingly and eloquently Delivered : and Appreciated by Many Decora Hons Were Beautiful The Military Procession. . Memorial Day yesterday was ob served in Wilmington in n fitting and most appropriate manner by the greater portion of the peopleiv The'rewas a practical suspension of business by the merehants and" bffijie 'men and many and friends gathered at Oakdale ceuie tery in the afternoon to do honor to our Confederate dead and to partic ipate, in the very pretty exercises arranged by Cape Fear Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, than which there is no more loyal or rev erent in the South. At 2:30 o'clock in the. afternoon the military organizations gathered at the W. L. I. armory andat 3 o'clock the march to the cemetery was begun, the Wilmineton Light Infantry in full dress gray uniform, commanded by Capt. A. P. Adrian; the Naval Re- serves, in regulation uniform, com manded by Lieut. H. M. Chase, and Col. Walker Taylor's Boys' Brigade in full dress uniform, commanded by Lieut Jas. A Price. At the cemetery they were joined by the Second Regi ment band, Cape Fear Camp, Confed erate Veterans, commanded by Capt. Jai. L Metts; Third North Carolina Infantry Association, commanded by Col. W. L DeRossett; Cape Fear Chapter, Daughters of the Confeder acy ; Sons of Veterans, and pupils of the Wilmington schools, who had half holiday for the exercises. The above order was observed in marching up to the splendid Confed erate monument near the main en trance to the cemetery, and upon go ing in the enclosure the military formed open ranks outside and the Daughters of the Confederacy passed in. Then followed the military, tak ing up their position around the monument enclosure. A dirge was first played by the band, and the Rev. Dr. A. G. Voigt, pastor of St Paul's Lutheran Church, offered a very fervent Prayer. - Col. A. M. Waddell then intro duced the orator Of the day, Capt C. B. Denson, of Raleigh, to whom he referred as a "Confederate Soldier, Patriot, Scholar and Orator." Col. -I Waddell related in the beginning a very touching incident illustrating the devotion of the Confederate soldier to '. his .Jiag and then presented Capt Denson, who responded in an oration which t wQ appropriate, or nate and pleasing. During the exercises "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Soldiers of Christ Arise" was sweetly sung by those gathered about the monument, which was splendidly draped and decorated by the ladies. As a finale to the observance the military fired a salute over the mon ument and the crowd dispersed after one of the most pleasant Memorial days's of many years. The graves in the cemetery were beautifully decorated andihe scene was indeed a' beautiful one. (Com ill n alcated.) DEATH OP MRS. JENNIE D. LIPPITT. Fell asleep in Jesus, May 10th, at 5:30 P.M., in her sixty eighth year, Mrs. Jennie Dickinson Lippitt, relict of the late Joseph J. Lippitt third daughter of the late James S. .Green and niece of the late Bishop Green, of Mississippi. To no purer, lovlier spirit have the gates of Paradise been opened, nor have any crossed the river, with loved ones awaiting on the other side, wafted away from more love than surrounded her. Possessed of a loving, helpful nature, with rare magnetism of manner, she won the love of all who knew her, and they were many, for few households are there but what her loving, spirit and untiring.hands have ministered com fort to tSb sorrowing hearts and helped to alleviate the pain of the weary suf ferer. Ever ready to lend a1 helping hand and always knowing the right thing to do, -with uncommon gentle ness in doing, no one in our midst has ever been what she has, to her friends, and none possessed more. Her sorrows haye been great for within ' less than two weeks, father and husband, fell victims to the scourge of ,1862, leav ing her with three helpless, lit tle children to rear. ' Yet with her loving, bright nature, she found much, that was bright in life, untir the last gloom fell upon her, less than two months since, when she closed the beautiful eyes of her lovely little errand daughter and namesake. dear little Jennie Burbank. No more nartine no more pain in that dear land where they are again united, and all is made so bright in the loving light of the "Sun of Righteousness," that all mystery is cleared away. The joy is their's the- pain ours for the vacant snot can never asrain be filled by one like unto her. None knew her but to love her, and her precious memory will live In many a loving heart until we. too. cross the river and ioiri the loved ones beyond. She leaves to mourn her loss three chil' dren.
