RESTRAINT WAS ACCEPTED The Officers Having Previously Announced Their lntentIo4 Desist Prom Work' Until FH The Ordinance Adopted UoiHiffloasly. The Board of Aldermen met in special session last night at the call of Mayor Waddell, who stated upon the opening of the meeting that the ses sion was because of the request and in deference to the wishes of a very general public sentiment against the breaking of earth at so' near' an ap proach to the Sprinsr.by the Wil mington Sewerage Company, which had announced its purpose to begin at once upon the laying of pipes for the system " of sanitary sewerage with which it proposes to equip the cityt He said he believed there was no con tention over the matter and to relieve the anxiety of many people for their health, he hoped the Board would take action and adjourn as early as possible There waa a diversity of opinion, he said among physicians as to endangerment of health by the proposed excavations, but he would await the pleasure of the Board. Alderman Harriss then read a pro hibitory ordinance, and Hon. John D. Bellamy, by permission, addressed the Board, saying as counsel for the com pany that the officers and stockholders had already cheerfully changed their plans to begin work in deference to what he - believed an unbiased senti ment, though there was some opposi tion prompted by ulterior motives; that the Wilmington Sewerage Com pany is a home company, for the interests of home people, and that it would gladly desist from anything that would endanger the health of the community, j . Mayor Waddell-, then explained his vote upon the question of granting the franchise, and expressed satisfaction that so many people of prominence manifested an interest in the matter by their presence at the meeting. The ordinance by Alderman Harries was then unanimously adopted as fol lows: ! The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the city of Wilmington do enact: Section 1. That it.sfaall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to break or disturb the ground and earth within the city limits any time during the period of - the yearr begin ning May 20th and ending September 30th. ' Section 2. Every person convicted of violating this rdinance shall be fined 1 50 for each and every offence. Section 3 i Provided; however, that should it become necessary for the public welfare and health of the com munity to repair any sewer, gas or water pipe, then the Superintendent of Health shall with the concurrence of the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Aldermen, grant permission to make only such repairs as are abso lutely necessary for the public health to abate &uch nuisance. Section 4. ! All ordinances or clauses of ordinance in conflict herewith are herebv repealed. Passed this the 18th day of May, 1901- LADIES' QOLP TOURNAMENT.

The game was won yesterday by the Red Birds not until the last man was out, and be it said to the credit of KELLY MAKING B. HOME BUN TQ RALEIGH. Kelland his kids, they played good ball and won the game after a close call. Stanley pitched magnificent ball but was content with aerialistic performances at some stages of the game. Allen, the good, hard ball player that he is, was in the box for a second time during the series of three games and struck out nine men while Stanley got only five. "Tacks" is a comer. He has recently acquired the name of "the boy wonder" and he right well sustains it Raleigh won out by bunching its hits in the seventh inning, by an error, and by a wild throw of Cranston. And now Raleigh and Wilmington are again playing hide and seek around the top of the percentage column. And here's the cause of it all : Kelly got a single in first, while Butch, Hennegar and Atz go out from the infield. Clayton gets the only single for Wilmington, while Cran ston, Stafford and Crockett pop out. Meade in the second gets third on a single and Sebring's error. Sherman fans ; Person walks and by a double- back-action performance of "Tacks" in the box, Meade is caught between third and home; Legrande pops out to HOW IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. WITH THE UMPIRE. . 9 Allen and for Wilmington, Sebring fans and Delaney and Warren go out from the infield. In the third, Stanley gets third on a single and McGinnis' error ; Sutch goes out to Crockett, and Hennegar to Allen; Stanley scores on Kelly's two base hit with two men down and the King is sent across the plate by a two-bagger by Atas; At? gets third on Allen's wild pitch, and Meade fans. The three men, McGinnis, Allen and Cranston, that faced Stanley for Wil mington -described beautiful eem circles in the air, and the side is re tired. '"' In the fourth Sherman and Le grande beat the air at something tbey vaguely imagine "Tacks" is send ing through the atmosphere while Person went out from Clayton. For Wilmington, Crockett singles, steals second and scores on Sebring's single to left, after Clayton has fanned and Captain "Bob" has dropped a ball in the hands of second; Delaney goes out from second. In the fifth, Stanley gets a single bdVSutch and Hennegar are twisted away from the .plate by "Tacks." and I big Kellv forces Home Run Stanley on irouuu, - t arren, wr numugron, second , Warren; for singles over second, steals sco'nd and third, and McGinnis layout at first; Allen hit out to second and Warren scores; Cranston goes out from short and the-score is tied. A fan by Atz, a pop fly . by. Meade, a single by Sherman and the theft of second with a hit out to Allen by Person winda up Raleigh's end of the sixth! Crockett and Clayton go put from pop flys to infield and with two men down, Stafford gets a home run by a wild throw by. Atz to Kelly, the ball having gone under the bleach eries and disappeared ; Sebring goes to centre for two bags and scorces on Delaney single to the same place; Warren flies out to Meade and the score is 4 to 2 in Wilmington's favor. -The seventh was fatal for Wilming ' ton an a costly error by Clay to a and a wild throw byCranston, three Red Birds having crossed the plate and cinched - the . game. LeGrande fans and Stanley gets ; first on Clay ton'a error; Smutch singles andanlexjcores HenbegarV safe hit; Hennegar is caught at second and Kelly scores Sutch on a single, afterwards scoring himsf If on Cranston's wild throw; Atz goes out to short. For Wilming oa, McGinnis, Alien and Cranston go out from second, centre and short. In the eight, Meade is out from second; Sherman fans: Person hits past Warren for two bags; LeGrande singles to same place; Stanley hits to Allen and Person died hard at the plate. For Wilmington Crockett and Clayton fly out to Sutch and Sherman ; "Staff" goes to left for two bags; Se bring walks and both advance a peg on LeGrand's passed' ball. Though two men are down, Jit looks like a tied score, but it isn't. Delaney drubs one to pitcher and out. , In the ninth Sutch fans; Hennegar goes out from short; Kelley eoes out from Allen. Warren hits out to third; McGinnis fouls out to third and Allen goes out at first.

After the seventh inning, when the XfeGU uuus uiwg tuico ttifUH) o.iu( Kelly was brimful of exuberance. The Giants are scheduled to take four of the six games from Richmond and Portsmouth this week. Of the last eleven games played -by the Giants they -have "won nine. Do vou see any opening here for the "knockers!" The religious editor of the News and Observer telegraphs the following lach rymose message to the Stab: "It seems you shouted before you were out of the woods. If four games out of six against a crippled team is the best you can do, you had better pull in your pennant winning aspirations. Don't you think so?" The committee on pistoricals didn't. report yesterday; . but Umpire Up church drew his watch on Pitcher Stanley. The latter stopped his "kick ing," however, preferring to pitch in the game rather than be pitched out of it "Cousin Sam" was- one of the most vigorous rooters in the grand stand. He was worse than two pigs in a potato patch. The horse editor looked at him with dismay. The sporting editor of the News and Observer telegraphed the horse editor of the Stab last night as follows: "He laughs best who laughs last. Keep your, whitewash, and notify us of the time of the funeral." This is the last note of the dying Swan. . Richmond will arrive to day and Portsmouth Thursday for three games here this, week, at which Mr. Staley will officiate as umpire. There are wild rumors afloat about the release of certain men on the Wil mington team. Nobody has been re leased; nobody has as yet jumped a contract, and the manager, captain and board of directors were, at last ac counts, perfectly capable of managing the affairs of the team.

Ocean View Hotel, Bath Houses, One Cottage and a Vacant Store Destroyed. WILIftBE REBUILT AT ONCE. Losses Will Arrrerste Between ' $10,000 and $15,000 With About Three.fourlhs Insurance Other Hotels Were Saved A Special Train. Wrightsville Beach was visited by a destructive fireit 8 o'clock last night which caused a loss of upwards of $15,000, about three-fourths covered by insurance. , The fire originated from an unknown ere4nr-tbW''OcifeV longing to the Ocean "View Company, S. A. Schloss, president, and principal stockholder, and Ibis building with Mr. Schloss' "Van Amriuge" cottage, two bath houses and the "Sanders" store on the west side of the railroad are a complete loss, together with their contents. ' The fire was discovered about the same ' time by little Miss Min nie Grant, daughter of Capt. R. O. Grant, on the sound, and Ed. Brewington, the colored watch man on the beach. There was at first only a slight blaze on the south side of the dining room, between the bar and the kitchen, but the wind was coming from the south and very soon the entire building was enveloped in flames. Mrs. W. E. Mayo, who has conducted the hotel for the past sev eral years, had returned from the beach yesterday afternoon, , after spending the week there getting the hotel in readiness for the opening June 1st. All her furniture and furn ishings for the hotel were destroyed The fire next communicated to the two' bath houses belonging o the hotel and the wind shifted to the southwest, else the entire beach might have been swept Mr. Schloss' cottage next took fire and the last buijding to burn was the vacant store belonging, to Mr. Schloss on the west side of - the rail road track. George Ellerbe, a colored man, went upon the roof of the "Russell" cottage, owned jointly by Messrs. R. R. Stone, W. A. Rourk and Capt. W. A. Sanders, and saved it after heroic efforts, falling exhausted when the fire had been controlled. This morn ing, he was in a serious condition from over-exertion. - Captain Gradt andjpthers went over from the Sound and with several ma rooning parties on the beach other buildings were saved. Among the (tmaAAiniiB' vitawa Mnerwa IfnPaa AUSBAWUVXa n10 iUCOOlOi iUVAU Hatch, O. A. Wiggins, Jr., Junius Davis " Jr., F. L. - Huggins, James G. Cotchett and Jno B. Peschau, They all worked heroically until Chief Schnibben and a crew of Wil mington firemen, with "hook and lad der apparatus, reached the scene on a special train owr the Wilmington Seacoast railroad, with Engineer Jno. P. Divine, Jr , at the throttle and Capt. Willie Grant in charge as con ductor. The loss in the Ocean View building is about $7,000, with insurance as fol lows: Walker Taylor, $3,000; Wil- lard & Giles, $1,000, and J. H. Boatwright & Son, $1,000. The "Sanders" store, valued at about $500 was insured with Willard and Giles for $200. The bath houses, valued at about $600 were insured with J. YanB. Metts for $350. The cottage owned by Mr. Schloss is valued at flSOwfth'about three-fourths insur ance. The loss on Mrs. Mayo's furni ture etc., is about $1,000 with small in surance. All the property is, of course, situ a ted at the extreme southern end of the beach and the club houses, other cot tages, pavilions, new Seashore Hotel, and other resorts of the kind, are in tact. The Ocean View Company nas re cently expended about $2,000 on its property at the beach and the Stab is assured that it will rebuild at once upon an enlarged scale. CAPTURED IN FLORENCE, S. S.
