GUARD ENCAMPMENT.
Col. P. M. Pearsall, of Governor's
Staff, Visited WrightsvUle;
Yesterday Afternoon.
: " r
THE BID FROM: SOUTHPORT.
The "Standard" Says People of That
Town Are Makinf Qreat Poll for the
BIi Meeting Col. Pearsall Re- ' .
turned to Ralegh UstNlfht. '
CoL P. M. ' Pearsall, of the Got
ernor's staff and one of the three
members of the committee appointed
to select a site for the State Guard En
campment, arrived in Wilmington at
noon, yesterday and after making a
hurried trip to Wrightsville in charge
of the local committee, he left last
night via Goldsboro, returning to
Raleigh. It is expected now that all
the members of the " committee have
had a look at the' Wrightsville wtes,
that a report will be forthcoming a
once; perhaps as early asAo-day. '
The promoters of Wrightsville as a
proper place for the Encampment ap
pear to be full of confidence, but no
official statement or definite informa
tion will be given out for publication.
There are three sites at Wrightsville
the State grounds regularly deeded to
the commonwealth ' for encampment
purposes ; the old Seaside Park loca
tion, which it is learned is unobtain
able, and the "Hammocks,1' which ap
pears to have been in most popular
favor witk members of the committee
who visit the sites.
Military men here and elsewhere
are awaiting with much interest the
result of thecommittee'sginvestigation,
an announcement of which is ex-
pected early. .
The local committee that went down
with CoL Pearsall yesterday was com
posed of CoL Walker Taylor, CoL Geo.
L. Morton, Capt. CL McD. Davit, Dr.
E. 8. Pigford, Mr. George Chesnut and
Mr. Frank EL Stedman, secretary and
treasurer of the Seacoast railroad.
Regarding the possibility of the en
campment going to Sbuthport, the
Standard of yesterday says: .
"Whether the State Guard will en
camp at Bouinport inis year, or
whether it will encamp here a part of
the time, or whether it will not en
camp here at all, ia yet a matter of
conjecture. But it is certain that
South port stands an excellent show
for it, and if she don't get it, it will be
interesting. to know the reason why.
"Certain conditions were;namea 10
the committee of gentlemen from the
Southport Chamber of Commerce,' by
the mate uuara uommittee, concern
ing the requirements that the South-
port people would have to rurnun lor
the encampment, which were prompt
ly accepted by the committee, which
has the town behind i; and if there
iwas-anything adverse to making the
encampment here pleasant and profit
able to the SUte Guard, it did not de
velop. - . .
Southport makes a most excellent
offer and is bidding high. She has a
beautiful site, well shaded ana has
fine breezes, she offers excellent drill
grounds and target practice scope. In
fact, when all Doints are considered.
she can't be beat in If orth Carolina."

Yesterday was a great day in the
Virginia-Carolina Base Ball League
and the -like of it will, perhaps, not be
experienced again this season. The
occasion was the playing of double
headers by all the teams in Virginia
cities, where National Memorial Day
is more generally observed than in
North Carolina, and in consequence of
which very large crowds were in at
tendance.
In the general, mix-up. be it said to
the credit of Wilmington, -.she came
out with flying colors and is just as
firmly established at the top of the
percentage column as of yore. She
won the first game with Newport
News, hands down, in a score of ten
to three, but in the afternoon game
she received an "honorable" shut
out at the hands of the Shin '
builders in the close score of one
to nothing and in a game which
our telegraphic advices say was
the finest ever seen in Virginia.
There's no discredit in losing a game
ike that and the "cranks" here feel
encouraged. The day with its double-
headers was disastrous for Raleigh
and twice in succession she went down
at. the hands of Ri$imond, from
whom Wilmington has twice taken
three straight. In a fifteen inning
contest the Red Birds lost in the
morning, two to three, and in the
afternoon they were - received into
campjagain by a score of six to five.
The "Big Day" was likewise an off
day for the strong team of Portmouth
and twice., she went down in defeat
before Norfolk The -first game ' In
Portsmouth before 1,000 home folks
she lost, three to two in a ten inning
contest and across the river at Norfolk
in the afternoon the score was against
her six to five..
Wilmington at Newport News.
"Nkwpobt News, Va., May 80.
The story of this morning's game may
be told in a very few words. Hard hit
ting by Wilmington and the inabililty
of Newport News to solve Stewart who
pitched his usual fine game was the
"cause of it all." The hitting, was
done by Warren, who made 'a home
run, Thackara and Devlin, Thacakra
having had one two base hit and a
three bagger to his credit

Be it said to the credit of unfortu

basemen ; he asked for his release after
the game on Wednesday with Wil

Kelly is up against hard luck

they left home this week. '- .

The "Hoes Editor" has been
sadly recreant to his duties especially
those that pertain to "matthewmad-
dockical" calculations to a degree
bordering upon criminality and the
religious editor cannot forbear longer,
but must lay his recreancy open
to the criticism of an unsympa-
thizing base ball world. Sunday,
morning, when the ink was scarcely
dry on that seven to three de
feat that Portsmouth gave us, he
wrote: "On their merits the Giants
are entitled to four out of the seven
games in which they will take part
this week." Then, confessing that
neither the services of himself nor
that of bis "rooterissimo" were needed
at Hilton this week, he hied himself
away to the rural districts about Max
ton, in the confines of Robeson, and
by all manner of grapevine telegraph
and submarine cable we are unable to
reach him to get a revision of those
figures. Four out of seven from the.

The Richmond limes, after Wilr.
mington's second game there says;
The Wilmington team is a strong
aggregation of ball players, who hit
the ball hard, work together, ana
make of themselves a coaching line
that is hard to overcome, and there is
no reason in the world why they
should not be at the top of the list in
the championship race. Stafford, the
giant first baseman, is a wonder with
the bat- Seabringia hardly a marker
to him. His hits always count - for
something and in the two games
played here on this trip he has. made
three home runs and a single, netting
six runs. At first base, he is like a
stone wall, and nothing passes him.
The entire infield is good. It works
like a clock and is. always on ' time.
The individual .members are good
players, who are not working for in
dividual profit but for the good of the
team and the good of the league. -

Librally Patronized Moslcale Was
Mo8t Interesting Peatare and
Received With Eatbnslasm.
The Wilmingto& Light Infantry
armory was a Jblaze of glory last night
with pretty women, chivalrous soldiers
and gallant veterans, the occasion
being the annual bazaar arranged
under the auspices of the Daughters of
of the Confederacy for the benefit of
the W. L. L improvement -fund.:. The
decorations were snlendid. the refre&h-
-mentSy-dainUly served iroatheveral
booths, were delightful and the musi
cal numbers on the programme were
excellent The attendance wa very
gratifying and the way in Which the
event passed off was creditable in the
highest to the several committees,
which had charge of the arrangements
and those who participated in the ex
ercises. The weather conditions were ideal
and there was nothingrto mar the
pleasures of the evening and night
The musicale was perhaps the most
pronounced feature of the exercises
and it took place from an especially
arranged stage on the lawn to the east
of the Armory. The programme con
sisted of the several features printed
in yesterday's paper with impromptu
selections by members of the Light
Infantry, who were present in full
dress uniform.
The Confederate veterans were also
present in uniform and entered heart
ily into the spirit of the evening.
The various booths in charge of the
several ladies, - whose names were
printed in yesterday's Star, were
liberally patronized and the patrons
were most charmingly served. Noth
ing too good can be said of the method
of entertainment or the way in which
every detail of the programme was
observed.
THE RECENT FLOODS.
Traffic On Railroads Temporarily Sus-
peaded Has Been Resumed Brans-
wick Bridge and Peery Co.
Traffic on the A. & Y. and W. & W.
railroads leading from Wilmington,
which was tied up practically all day
on Wednesday on account of washouts
on the track, was resumed yesterday

.eliminated ta day.7 The first train from
FayettevDIe since Tuesday - evening
came in at 7:25 o'clock yesterday
morning, but the other trains came in
and went out on schedule time during
the remainder of the day with the ex
ception of last night's train, which
was about two hours late.
The trains on the W. & W. road,
which were tied ud at Neuse river

about 2tO. There was no delay in

Some Early Peaches.
It is seldom, if at all, that fruit
growers in this section can report ripe
peaches before about June 10th. This
record, however, was broken day be
fore yesterday notwithstanding the
very late Spring. On yesterday a
Star representative was shown a peck
of very fine fruit which were gathered
at the time indicated from some trees
grown by Mrs. J. J. Fowler in the
garden at the family residence, No: 417
South Front street It is an indication
that with Proper care this industry may
yet become as important and as wide
spread in this section ' as the great
strawberry culture; that has trans
formed many places in Eastern North
Carolina into veritable .garden spots.

Prank H. Townsend, aNew Hanover
Whiskey Distiller, in the ToUs.
Frank H. Townsend, a young white
man, who until some time ago con
ducted a whiskey distillery at Spring
Branch, this county, was committed
to jail night before last charged with
violation of the internal revenue law
and will be given a hearing- in a few
days before United States Commis
sioner Collier. Deputy Collector C.
M. Babbitt made the arrest and Town-
send's bond for his appearance was
fixed at $300. '
It appears that the charges are based
upon circumstances growing out or
the burning of his distillery last Octor
ber. It was given out that the cap of
the still and four barrels of whiskey
were burned in the warehouse. Sev
eral days ago Townsend brought a
cap, supposed to be the same as the
one reputed to have been burned, to
the tin shop of Mr. Bob Branch, on
Church street fr repair. At any
rate, the cap was discovered by Col
lector Babbitt and Townsend ar
rested.
The prisoner came here several

Friends of Rev. A. D. McClure re
joiced yesterday at the announcement
that the degree of Doctor of Divinity

Mr. McClure and his numerous friends.
