TWENTIETH OF HAY. The Celebration Was Principally I by Military Companies in Wilmington Yesterday. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS. were u&senred b Naytl Reserve, WIf. mloftoa Utbt lafaotry and Beys BrigadeTarget Practices and 1" Qlher Peatnres of the Day. The twentieth of May celebration in Wilmington this year, aside fronai cessation of business by the banks. Produce Exchange and a few mercan tile houses, consisted chiefly of mili tary events by the local companies. all of them haying taken opportunity of the holiday to celebrate their anni versaries. Perhaps with the Naval Reserves the day was most elaborately cele brated, the occasion having been the tenth anniversary of the local division. In command of Lieutenant H, M Chase, a detachment of about twenty, members left on the 10:10 A. M. train for Wrightsville Beach and there they were joined in the afternoon by another detachment which left on the 2:30 P. M. train. The day was spent in military contests, both detachments having returned to the city after a most delightful day's outing, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The first event was a practice with the Hotchkiss one pounder at a floating target anchored one and a half miles at sea opposite Carolina Yacht Club house. Same very close shots were scored, Lieut. Chase having led in the contest, but no record of the same was kept. The next event was the small arms practice after dinner, which was served on the beach. This contest was at a regulation target, two hundred yards distance, and Messrs. E. O. Yarborosgh and A. A. Hergenrother tied for the handsome gold medal offered by the company to be retained by the winner. Each made 18 out of a possible 25, and upon the deciding contest, Mr. - Yar- borough won. .This contest took place at Moore's inlet, at the lowerend of the beach. The manual of arms for the com pany medal nad to be discarded lor lack of time. The day was also the occasion of the celebration of the 48th anniversary of the Wilmington Light Infantry and mis was ooservea oy target prac tice at Wrightsville Beach in the af ternoon in front of the ruins of the recently burned Ocean View Hotel It was the regulation target practice. 200 yards distance, and the company medal to be retained by the winner one year, was won by Mr. E, Keith Calder 4io made a score cf 19 out of a possible 25.

The ludaes of the contest were Col. W. A. JohnBon, Maj. C. EL White, and Capt C. McD. Davis. Refreshments were served at the beach and the partv returned on the evening train. It is safe to sav that of the three military celebrations, none was en joyed more or was more largely at tended than that of Col. Walker Tay lor's Boys' Brigade at Carolina Beach. There were four boats to the beach durintr the dav and evening, the last one returning to the city at midnight The time was delightfully spent in thlti. soorta and in dancing at Sedgely Bali Club house. The com mittee of arrangements was composed of Lieut. Jas. A. Price, Sergeant E. P. Dudley and Private 0. C. Loughlin. DEATH OF JAMES D. BLACK. Occurred at Greensboro, N. u, boodsy.

McGinnis, by name, "a Frenchman from Cork," won the game for Wilmington yesterday afternoon from Richmond in the ninth inning, after two, men were down, and when the most sanguine "rooter" had given in for a ten inning contest. The game was called ar little past 4 o'clock with Umpire Stalev at the helm and only about 300 people in the grand stand and on the bleacherles. Those of the "faithful" who were ab sent missed the prettiest game of they season, and one which was anybody's until Warren made the deciding run in the ninth inning. The honors were about evenly di vided as between Hooker and Stewart, thetwirlers, but Stewart was handi capped by being sick, and was only put in on an emergency. He did well, though and is just as thoroughly es tablished in the hearts of the fanatics M'GINNIS SINGLES; WARREN SCORES. as he was just after the phenomenal game with Raleigh last week. Hooker pitched much .better ball than ever before here and Bigbie at first base was all right for the visitors. . Devlin, Wilmington's new man, went in right field and made a decidedly favorable impression. Thackara went to his usual position behind the bat and though his work was not as brilliant as usual, he was the same good, hard working fellow that has made him a favorite all along. Story of the Game In Detail. Darby led off with a hit for two bases, secured third on Fillman's single and on Baffle's fly-out to Mo Ginnis he scored. It looked danger ous for Wilmington with only one man down, but after having been given a free pass to first, Kain was forced out at second by Garrett and Davy Crockett tookln the high fly of Big bies. Hope i sprung eternal in the Wilmington rooters' breast when Sc oring started the ball to rolling for Wilmington with a two base hit to right and got third on Garrett's error; Crockett kit out to pitch and Sebring died on his way home by Garret's quick fielding of Clayton's grounder. Stafford became himself again and went to deep left for three bases and freedom shrieked when "Eid" Clayton crossed the plate and tied the score. Authorities differ as to how far Star ford's drive would have gone if an oak tree had not conspired against us, but certain it is that it would .have meant a home run, which it did prove to be, after all, on Darby's wild throw. Warren finished up the inning with an ineffectual bunt to the pitcher. . 1 . - In the second Traeger, Manners and Darbv went out from the infield a'ter Hooker had walked. For Wilming ton, Thackara made a beautiful single through the "box, . but McGinnis, Stewart and Sebring quickly popped out Both teams went out in their order in the third and with the excep tion of a two base hit by Garrett, which was called out on account his not touching first bag, a passed ball bv Thackara on Bigbie. after he had r ... in the fourth.

Wilmington came up and was unable to break the tie, Sebring and Crockett having easiy gone out from a fast infield, Clayton having walked and Stafford having popped out to third. In the ninth, Richmond came up with the score still tied, but Darby buled out on a good catch by Thack ara; JTillman fanned and Same went out from second. Wilmington came up, and grand stand and bleacheries were tip toe with excitement It ooked like a ten inning game, some thing on the order of the one ' with which Richmond and Wilmington opened the League at Richmond with the same batteries. ' But it wasn't. Warren came up and made a long drive for two bags and got third on Thackara's sacrifice. McGinnis came up and sent a grass cutter down third baseline, which sent Warren flying across the home plate and winning the game.

As a "trip to sea" was on the programme they went "out side" and so did their breakfast The Raleigh Post calls the Giants "Lobsters."

"Three to two was too close for comfort? did you say! Why, Wil mington's score .was fifty per cent larger than that of Richmond. Col. W. A. Johnson lassoed the horse editor yesterday, yanked him into his store, and after eloquently insisting that a horse editor ought to have a horse, shoe attached that lucky emblem, in the form of a scarf pin, to the h. e's. boisterous "four-in-hand." That saved the game. ."Up, boys, and at them." It's on the cards for Portsmouth to down Raleigh to-day, and "in the bright lexicon or' the Giants "there is no such word as fail." The score in all the games yesterday indicates high class work. Two to one. three to two and four to three is the record. Those who failed to see the game yesterday should even up to-day. There will be some great ball. . Games on Other Diamonds. Raleigh, N. C, May 20.

NEAR SIXTH STREET BRIDGE. His Name is Brower and He Has Been Em ployed as a Day Laborer by A. C. L. The Coroner Will Hold An la- -quest This Morning. F. E. Brower, colored, aged about 45 years, and employed for the past several weeks as a laborer by the At antic Coast Line Railroad Company' about the construction of its general office buildings on Front street, was run over and instantly killed yester day evening about 6:30 o'clock by a ocomotive on the ACL. yards near 8ixth' street bridge. The body was so horribly mutilated that' It was scarcely recognizable as thatof a human at first sight, and it was several hours before it was identi fied. From best accounts possible of the tragedy it appears that Brower had eft. his work at the office building and had started to his boarding place in "Brooklyn," entering the A. C. L. yards at the Front street station. He carried a sack fitted with building blocks for fuel purposes on his shoul der and reached the yards as engine No. 11, in charge of Yard Engineman S. Smith, was being "hostled" to the round house after bringing in train No. 49 from Norfolk.- Without the knowledge of Engineer Smith or his firemen, he climbed upon the ten der with his sack of fuel to ride to ward his home as far as the engine went A witness, who will testify before the coroner's jury to-day, was standing on the embankment near Sixth street bridge, and saw Brower when about to et his sack drop he caught at it lose his footing and fall under the wheels of the tender as it was going back ward. Dr. C. D. Bell, the coroner, was soon upon the scene, and investigation de veloped that Brower had no relatives here but has a family at Southern Pines, and a son living at Manly, N. O- He summoned a jury consisting of Capt John Barry, Messrs. J. A. Kelly, John Farmer, T. J. Herring, J. H. Strauss and E. H. Bowdoin, and an nquest will be held this morning at 9:30 o'clock at his office. - ---ft DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY Annual Meeting Held Yesterdsy Election of Officers and Other Important Matters Discussed.
