A meeting of WrightsvUle Beach property owners was held yes terday afternoon at 5 o'clock 4n the rooms of 4be Board of -Audit and Fi nance at the City Hall., The only question considered was that of . the proposed new sewerage system which was up for discussion at the last meeting.. . At the session yes -terday the committee, consisting of Messrs. O. M. WhiUock, B. Solomon and Timothy Donlan, appointed to investigate the practicability of the establishment lof the new system, made a repor twhich ; was i in ef feet that 7,000 feet of pipe would have to be laid and that the entire cost vrould be between $3,500 and $4,000. The detail of the work was gone over atsome leneth but nothinc definite was agreed upon, a motion havinsr been made by Mr. J. H. Chadbourn, Jr.; to lay the report upon the table. It is quite likely that another meeting will be held soon at which the matter will be taken up again. THE HORSE EDITOR Q0ES WEST. Various Sannlses as to His Destination. Some Say Bird Hootlsi. ' 'Go West, young man,' and recu perate;" said the agricultural editor of the Stab to the horse editor. ! "vour labors on the Hilton Park diamond have been arduous and you need a rest." So. the h. e. boarded the 3.05 train on the "K. S." yesterday after noon and away he went Much specu lation is indulged in- as to his destina tion. Some think he will play ''short stop" atTMaxton, where he will take a post-graduate -course in base ball under Prof. Sandy McKinnon, who guarantees to teach the real thing in three easy lessons. Others guess that he has gone to Raleigh, armed cap a pie, for the purpose of making divers and sundry air-holes through the corpus of the religious editor of the Post who has been in a state of ago nizing sus-Pence ever since he stigma tized the. Wilmington Giants as "lob sters." There are others still who be lieve that he has gone bird hunting: but this theory is exploded by the fact the-mating season is now past. The fact . is, nobody around these headquarters knows where the horse editor has gone. It may be that it will (before his rturn) be "where the woodbine twineth." His youth and inexperience render him liable to just such an unhappy fate. It is hoped, however, should he stop in old Robe son, that the fascinating Scotch lassies of that county will deal gently with him, not forgetting that he is "one. of the boys." EX-MAGISTRATE ARRAIGNED. Georxe W. Price, Jr. Charfei With Dis posing of Mortgaged Property. George W. Price, Jr., formerly a colored magistrate of the county, was arraigned before Justice Fowler yes terday morning on charges of having disposed of mortgaged property to the value of about $90 from W. K. King. On the day before, Price allowed Justice Fowler to' enter up judgment against him for the property but when the constable went for it, it was miss ing. The property consisted of an organ and several articles of house- held and kitchen furniture. The case was transferred to Dr. W. W. Harriss from Justice Fowler and the case continued until Thursday at noon. He was required to give $25 bond in each of the two cases for his appearance. -Marsden Bellamy, Esq., and Herbert McClammy will prosecute the case and Hon. Jno. D." Bellamy will appear for the defence. STATE GUARD ENCAMPMENT. Col. Pearsall's Visit To-dsy or To-morrow . Will Result ii Choice of Location. There was nothing new in the mat ter of the State .Guard Encampment yesterday and there will likely be no further news regarding the same until after CoL P. M.

Morton r- of the Governor's staff, yesterday afternoon. ; I - V i There appears to be no doubt, how ever, that the Encampment will be held at WrightsvUle or at Southport, in either of which events the city of Wil mington will be greatly benefitted. - -j M s agn - Bsptlit Sunday School Excnralon.

That by way of apology, by the "Hoss Editor" at long range last night, for the terrible drubbing that Wilmington through one Mr. Cyrus Yorhees gave the Gravs vesterdav afternoon by the score of five to noth ing. Wilmington was not exultant over its defeat of the weak Virginia team last night and would have much pre ferred the score should have been otherwise, if it were not for the trou bled waters up about the top of the league column. It was just a case of I couldn't stand to see my baby lose," and Capt Bob and his men proceeded to lay it on Barley Kain in gigantic style. The game was a pretty one and leads the cranks to believe that Richmond is playing better ball and will be in good shape later on. The following special telegram was received by the Stab last night: "Richmond, Va., May 28, The story of to-day's victory for Wilming ton may be summed up in - the inabiN ity of the Richmond team to hit the balls as delivered by Vorhees. Only thirty -one men came to bat The condition of the grounds was better than it was yesterdaylind both teams played better ball. Cauliflower, "an ex-natioal leaguer, played first base for Richmond and made a good im pression. The features of the game were two terrific drives over the left field fence by Capt Stafford, which brought the crowd to its feet He was heartily applauded on both occasions. The first, which occurred in the sixth inning, was one of the longest hits ever seen on the home grounds. "All the boys played gilt edged ball and are popular here in the city.. "Clayton figured in one double play while Stafford had one unassisted and Darby, Softie and Cauliflower turned the trick for Richmond. "The Manager is well pleased with the work of the team and looks for ward to a successful trip." .

' Never was a set of peo ple more disgusted as was those who came home yesterday evening, after sitting for two long hours watching such attempts and poor judgment as they saw during the game." A More Hopefnl View This from "the Richmond Times: "Richmond presented a disorganized condition yesterday, and as a result Wilmington completely walked away with' the game, and they had little trouble in doing so. .The visitors put up a sharp game all through. They played ball for all it was worth, and they worked together. The detailed score shows how they did it Hooker's curves didn't puzzle them a little bit, and they captured hit after hit until the score n away up out of reach of the disorganized Richmond team. "The crowd rooted for the good plays that were made regardless of which side made them, and as a consequence they found themselves rooting for Wilmington most of the time. Only a Faithful Few. And this Jrom the Times further; 'The only Richmond players that seemed to take an interest in the game were tfigbie. Manner. Some. . Fillman and Treager. The others just went along along in a listless way, not appearing to care whether stopped a ball or not. The infield, except Soflle, let a dozen bails get through that should have been . captured, and Thomas, in the fifth inning, did what ball players call the 'baby act' and walked off the field because somebody on the bleachers kidded' him." A Raleigh Excursion Saw it. - Judging from the following from the Norfolk Pilot, it appears that a coterie of Raleighites saw their pets pounded to pieces yesterday : "To-day's game will be . made a notable one on account of a Raleigh excursion coming to witness it Among those who will be here and at tend the game in a tally-ho are Hon orable Sherwood Higes. . vice presi dent of -the League: Mr, Wm. J. Andrews, President of the Raleigh Atnieuc Association : Mr. Irwin 1. Jones, secretary and 'treasurer of the Association, and Messrs Latchfora, Gsttis and Linehan, directors of the Raleigh Athletic Association." THE STRAWBERRY SEASON. Its End Develops an Increase of Shipments From Chadboarn Section Prices Hon. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn, spent last night in the city, having come over . yesterday afternoon on business. ' ' Mr. Brown says the strawberry sea son is practically over in his section and there will be few other shipments this week. Many of the 'commission men from the North are returning home, and it will be 1902 before the rush of the past few weeks is on again. The prices this year, he says, have been on the whole better than last season, and the yield in what ia known as the '.'Chadbourn belt" has been consider ably increased, due mainly to an in crease of acreage rather than , to an abundant yield to the farm. Last year Mr. Brown's section shipped 180 cars, but this season the number has increased' to approximately 200 car loads. The prices yesterday for the nearby Northern markets ranged from only 6 to 8 cents, with poor demand. In consequence of this, consignments are falling off rapidly. Monday the ship ments from all roads amounted to only five ears. THE W. L. I. ENTERTAINMENT. Various Details of Arrangement Progress ing Satisfactorily Request 0! Public.

For Week Eodcd Moadsy, May 27th, the Average Fall -Was Five laches for the State -The : General. Soav ;; :;v'niaiy -ofthe Residts.-J::.;; : The following report for the North Carolina Section, JDlimate and Crop service,' U; B, Weather Bureau, was issued yesterday, covering the week' ended,; MondaMjiySJth: :if'l All minor features of the crop con? ditloha during the paaC week are over- ulting from the ueaw - rainfall on the: 21st and 22nd. . The storm ap peared on the coast of Texas on the' morning of the 19th, crossed the Gulf States, and .thence passed northward over central and western North Caro lina. The characteristic feature "of the storm was the extensive area cov ered by the excessive precipitation, - which averaged oyer 5.00 inches for the State, as compared with a normal for the week of only one inch. At some points tne downpour was ex ceedingly heavy; Marion, McDowell county, reported 7.25 inches in 24 hours; Statesville, Iredell, 7.40; Chapel Hill and Durham, 5.60; the rainfall diminished eastward to about normal near the coast The damage caused by the beating rains, high winds and subsequent floods in every creek and river, to farm -lands, crops, barns, mills, bridges, and railroads cannot at present be estimated. Space will not permit a detailed account here of the loss reported, which seems to have been greatest in McDowell, Bun combe, and Mitchell counties in the west and Orange and Durham in the central section, but most other coun ties, except in the extreme east por tion, suffered a proportional loss. Up lands were badly washed, in some in- stances whole acres swept . perfectly clear; an unusually large area of low lands was submerged, and in the west particularly immense, crops of the finest wheat were covered with sedi ment or totally destroyed. Corn and cotton in the bottoms were very small, and most of it will have to be re planted, which will be the third re planting in many places. The floods in the Yadkin, Catawba, and most other western rivers, as well as inthe Roanoke and . Cape Fear, were as nign as, or nigner, tnan pre viously recorded. ' The dykes pro tecting the State farms on the . lower Roanoke were broken. The temperature was slightly above normal until the lattejfc part of the week, which was again rainy and cool. Crops have become very-grassy, and as they are still backward and small they need working -to prevent being smothered by the grass and weeds. A period of warm, clear weather is needed to dispel the present gloomy outlook. Wheat and oats generally remain in excellent condition, and where only beaten down will recover. Many favorable reports were received from, southern and eastern counties. Cotton has a fairly good stand, though some is dying in consequence of too much rain and cold weather; chopping has been much delayed. Flowing corn, setting tobacco, and planting peanuts, have made but little headway this week. Fruit is dropping considerably. It is worthy of remark that a large number of correspondents report a scarcity of labor. Rainfall for the week at selected stations '(in inches): Goldsboro 1.14, Greensboro 4.04, Lumber ton 6.98, Newborn 2.28, Weldon 2.76, Charlotte 4 90, Wilmington 2.80, Raleigh 4 33, Southport 3.21, Auburn 6.48, Saxon 5.13, Chapel Hill 8.68, Monroe 3.9U, Marion 9.53, Statesville 8.14, Patter son 7.99, Brewers 7 uu.
