AT CALLED SPECIAL MEETING Amonnt Will be Forwarded at Once Sev eral Other Municipal Matters Consid ered and Firemen Elected A - Clerk of Mayor's Coort. At a called meeting of the Board of I Aldermen ield last night, the city of I Wilmington appropriated $500 for the relief of the suffering people of Jack sonville, Flavtho same to be transmit ted at once by Mayor Waddell through the proper channels. All members were present when the meeting was called to order and Mayor Waddell stated that the chief purpose of the session was to make a contribu tion for the alleviation of suffering in the stricken city of Jacksonville, and that he had seen members of -the Board of Audit and Finance and had been assured that any reasonable ap propriation would be. cheerfully con curred in. He. therefore, asked that a motion be made carrying with it an appropriation for the purposes' set forth, and this was done by Alderman Bailey, who named the amount as $500, and after second by Alderman West, it was unanimously adopted. The Mayor called ihe attention of the Board to the need of a clerk of the police court, who is qualified as a magistrate, so that in his absence war rants can be regularly issued, etc Alderman VoGiahn moved that Sergeant Ward, who is in the day ser vice in the hall, be required to attend to those duties. The motion was seconded by Alderman West. Alderman Mann placed in nomina tion Mr. F. T. Skipper, formerly lieu tenant of police, and Alderman West placed in nomination Mr. B. W. Dun ham. .There was much discussion as to where the appropriation for the pay of an extra officer would come from and as to whether or not one of the ser geants would be dismissed. Several ex . pressed the opinion that one of the day sergeants should perform the duties of clerk of the municipal court and that one of them could be qualified as a magistrate by the clerk of the Superior Court to fill out some vacancy. After further discussion, upon motion of Alderman VonGlahn, the power to nominate was left with the Mayor and he chose Mr. Skipper of those named. The Mayor will appear before the Board of Audit and Finance, which will fix the new officer's salary and prescribe his duties. Alderman Bailey gave notice that he would move to reconsider the reso lution recently passed granting a fran chise to the Wilmington Sewerage Company. It was expected that a lengthy disoussion would- follow, but a motion to adjourn had already been made by Alderman Harriss, who in sisted that the question be put. This was done and arad journment was had. Upon motion of Alderman Harriss and second by Alderman West the following firemen and substitutes were elected just before adjournment: Chief - of Department Charles Schnibben.

Mr. Owen Fennel, Chairman of the County Board of Pensions, yesterday received the following letter from State Auditor U. IT. Dixon, which is self explanatory : Dxab Sir: I send you to-day. under separate cover, the blank pen sion applications prepared under the law of 1901. Tou will observe that the pensioners now on the list will have to appear either in person or, if unable to do so, by certificate of phy sician, before your rsoara ior exami- nation and approval, together witn all new applicants for pensions. This was considered very essential to a nroner grading of pensioners, as well as to enable the Board to drop from the list the names of those who do not now meet the requirements of the law. I ursre upon your Board the necessity of a careful scrutiny of each case, to the end that no unworthy man be placed on the roil. This Department nas aeciaeo, unaer the advice of the Attorney General, that all widows of Confederate soldiers now on the pension roll who were married to said soldiers after the 1st of April, 1865, will have to be dropped from the roll. I hope you will give full notice through vour county papers, and in everv other wav possible, to all Con federate pensioners, and all applicants for pensions, to appear before your Countv Board of Pensions at the earl- iest practicable moment, as- we umii for the applicants is the first Monday in Julv. in order that your list may be completed in time to oe iorwaraeu to this office by tne miuaie or august. l regret exceedingly not oeing aoie to get the blank applications to you earlier v but they have been in the hands or the public printer ior quite a ... . . .1 while, ana we are iorwaraing mem u you at the earliest possible moment Very respectfully.

Many of them were wroth these were they in many instances that lost their substance and in great distress one Foreman, sur named "Johnnie" and sometimes called "Brownie." was bumped ferociously by the knockers; yea, verily, he was bumped harder by these than the score card indicated that the Bed Birds of Baleigh caught him for safe hits about the bat late in the afternoon when the game was played. There were many who cried out with a loud voice, "Release Him I" while sager ones said, "Tarry a while and, let us see in truth from the tabu lated score what this man Foreman has done, for, perchance, it was the work of Stanley in retiring the Giants and not that of the man Foreman in allowing the Bed Birds to score, which lost the game." And so it was. The score card came in and loand behold. Foreman's record, except as to hits, was better than that of Mr. Stanley. Let us not be too rash to condemn; several pitchers on Wil mington's nine in winning games have allowed as many hits as Fore man. The following special telegram was received by tht Star last night: SpeciarStar Telegram. ftALEiQH, N. C, May 15. The Giants of Wilmington were van quished to-day by King Kelley's Bed Birds in one of the hottest games of the season. The result was in doubt throughout the game. : Both pitchers did superb work. Foreman should have won his game. It was lost through no fault of his, but solely through an error and the inability of Wilmington to hit Stanley's hot leather. The official score shows two errors against Delaney. The first was hardly an error at all and resulted from a try by Delaney for a hot liner hit over second, on which he got one hand on the ball and cut off a second base hit. The wildest enthusiasm per vaded the grand stand at times during the game which was "nip and tuck" for three innings. The Senators got on to Foreman in the fourth inning but a run did not materialize. Hen- nager lined a ball for three bases; Kelly was retired from second to first; In the sixth the Senators put four runs to their credit. Stanley fanned; Sutch was retired at first but Delaney let a high fly get away from him and Hennager reach ed first. King Kelley peeled the skin off a ball for three bags and Henna ger scored. A single by Atz scored Kelly, Meade made a safe hit and Sherman lined a double and Atz and Meade raced across the plate. Person closed Raleigh's luck inning by fanning. In the ninth another run resulted. Sherman drove a liner through the tbediamond for first base but was forced at second by Person, who ad vanced a peg on a passed ball. Stanley made a hit and Person scored. Wilmington's first run was made in the fourth inning without a hit. Crockett got his base on balls; Allen reached first on Meade's error; Clay ton sacrificed and Crockett scored. In the fifth Stanley retired the Giants in their order on strike outs. In the seventh Thackara got first on being hit with tfee ball; McGinns got his base on balls, and a single by Delaney scoreed him. . In the eighth Crockett got his base on balls but was forced at second by Allen. Clayton then .came up and Clayton hit a two bagger, scoring Allen. - THE TABULATED SOOEK. Wilmincrton.

The Giant's must "read their titles clear" to day. 'There is no place like home" ex cept a home; run. Remember that. Bob. Yes, Sebring is here. He stands six feet in his stockings and weighs 172 pounds. You'll know him better be fore the end of the' week. Don't -I forget that -Wilmington's colors are red and WhitdT Put 'em on. When Tar-heel meets Tar-heel then comes the tug of war. The umpire is respectfully requested not to call the game to day until 'the, j doctor" is comfortably seated in the grandstand. The horse editor has bought a red- and-white neck tie to represent Wil mington's colors. It is so "loud" that it can be heard from the Stab office to Hilton Park. The ladies of Wilmington are re quested to be present at the game this afternoon and wear the colors: red and white. (dpt. Bob Stafford will get in to day from Greensboro and will be on the "diamond in his accustomed nosition. Wilmington goes to third place in the per centage column, but the win ning of other games from Raleigh this week will bring about wondrous changes. TheWilliamsport (Pa.) News of Tuesday says of Sebring, who arrived ast night: 'James Sebrinsr. the well known ocal base ball player, will leave this evening for Wilmington, N. C, to play ball with the team of that place. Jim is a good, ' conscientious player, and will prove a valuable acquisition to the Wilmington club, which al ready numbers two Williamsporters among its members, Harry Clayton ana ueorge Allen. Bucknell. with whom Sebrinsr has been nlavinc this season, loses her ha&est hitting play er by his departure for the South." Devlin will be here to-day in all probability and will likely go in this afternoon's game. The Raleigh and Wilmington teams will come in to day on the Seaboard Air Line train, most likely. Every rooter should lend himself to the Giants to-day. The Raleigh goose was laying for Wilmington yesterday. The Giants were loaded -fordaek and . that's -the reason we lost. Sebring has every element of a ball player in his make-up. His rec ord is also good. He plaved with Matheson, the New York wonder at' present, on the Bucknell College team of Pennsylvania.

Went To gether at Teachey's Early Yesterday Morning. ENGINEER PEMBERT0N HURT. He Saw the Impending Danger and Jomped, But Received Very Severe Injuries. A Locomotive and Several Cars Were Badly Demolished. Shortly after midnight yesterday morning a rear end collision of two A. C. L. freight trains occurred at Teachey's, about midway between Rose Hill and Warsaw on the W. 8c W. railroad. As a result of the col- lision, Engineer Jno. A.Pemberton, of Fayetteviile, was seriously, ihough it is thought, not fatally .wounded, a locomotive caboose and one or more Fruit Growers' Express cars are par tially demolished. Engineer Pember- ton's injuries consist of a very severe scaip wound anecting almost the en tire top of his head and bruises about the breast, which may later prove in ternal. The first train was in charge of Capt. DeLeon Fillyaw and was stand ing just below the switch opening on the main line track at Teachey's. The second train was in charge of Capt Thos. Pae and Engineer Pem- berton and dashed into the rear of the first train with much violence.. Just as his engine was upon the rear car of thefirst train, Capt. Pemberton saw the inevitable result and jumped from his cab, striking his head on the end of a cross tie and his breast coming in sharp contact with the ground. The fireman rushed back into the tender and was uninjured. The locomotive was badly demol ished, several of the cars were broken into flinders and afterwards took fire. A wrecking train was immediately dispatched from Wilmington and the track was soon cleared. As the wreck occurred on the main line, just be tween the ends of the switch at the station, traffic was in no way delayed and trains passed through as usual. The railroad authorities are making an investigation of 'the cause of the collision, but the responsibility has not been fixed. Capt Pemberton is still at Teachey's and is resting comfortably. His friends here hope for his early recovery. The physicians thought best not to remove him from Teachey's until he has somewhat recovered from the shock. Mrs. Pemberton and son, Mr. Emmett Pemberton, of Fayetteviile, arrived at Teachey's yesterday afternoon to be with him. Mr. J. J. Croswell, the well known Southern Express Company route agent, was on one of the freight trains, but escaped without injury. MAY FESTIVAL LAST NIGHT. 9 An Exceedingly Cbsrmioz Entertainment at the Opera Honse Under Direction of Miss Cammie Lord. The May Festival of the Lillipu tians at the Opera House last evening under the direction of Miss Cammie Lord for the benefit of Cape Fear Chapter, Daughters of the Confed eracy, proved to be one of the most delightful entertainments by local talent given in Wilmington for sev eral years. The audience was large and each number upon the splendid programme was liberally applauded. It would be unjust to specify any one feature of the entertainment as being better than another, for all were of an exceedingly high order and bes peak for Miss Lord the greatest possi- ble praise for her admirable airec tion. The solo, "Ma Black Pearl," by Miss Nellie Piatt was not excelled and "Good Night Little Girls, Good Night" by Miss Emma West as a finale was splendid. The orchestra was composed of Mrs. Ancrum Lord, piano; fror. u. ocnioss, cornet; Mr. W. A. Martin, flute, and Mr. Oscar Morris, slide trombone. - By special request the Festival will be repeated at a matinee this afternoon ak2:30-o'clock and is well worth the the seeinsr bv young and old.
