iHowiu0 J5fcw. J CHURCHES SUNDAY.
At Which Distinguished Divines
and Scholars Preached and
Lectured.
SPLENDID SPECIAL MUSIC.
Each Service Was Largely : Atteoded and
Greatly Enjoyed Brilliant Sermons'
and Able Addresses Were De
livered by the Visitors.
Sunday possessed more than pass
ing interest to church-goers, as many
of the -Teachers', . Assembly's .most
prominent members; "who are among
the Old North SUte'a brightest sons,
filled the city pulpits. The attendance
at each service was very large and
several of the churches had special
music for the occasion.
Especially attractive were the ser-.
vices at the First Baptist Church.
where in the morning Rev. R. T.
Vann, D. D., president of the Baptist
Female University, Raleigh, delivered
the sermon and Prof. E. Walter
Sykes, Ph. D., of Wake Forest Col
lege, spoke at night At the evening
service there was special music by a
select quartette Mrs. F. H. Muse,
Miss Nellie Piatt and Messrs Lonnie
Williford and A. 8. Uolden.
Dr. Sykes lecture was a literary
gem, being a discourse on "The Battle
of Life,." while of special interest were
the remarks of Dr.. Vann, who spoke
of the great work the Baptists of the
State are doing this year for their
North Carolina colleges. He laid par
ticular stress upon the movement
afoot to raise $100,000 to endow their
colleges, and of which amount half is
to go to the university at Raleigh..
Upon conclusion of Dr. Vann's re
marks a subscription was called for in
order to complete the First Baptist
Church's aportionment of the endow
ment fund, $450. The amount was
raised in a very short time.
At the Brooklyn Baptist Church
Drs. Vann and Sykes again officiated,
the former at night and the latter in
the morning. There, too. Dr. Vann
confined his remarks to the "Educa
tion of the Baptists of North Carolina"
and succeeded in arousing great inter
est in his subject' Dr. Sykes' sermon
was a very strong one, being delivered
on the theme, "The Church Militant"
In his introductory remarks he showed
that life is one great battle and has to
be fought industrially, politically,
intelectually and spiritually.
The two sermons by . visiting minis
ters at Grace M. E. Church were ex
ceedingly able ones. Prof. J F.
Bivios, D. D.. of Trinity Park High
School, Durham, preached ac 11 A. M.
Rev. T. N. Ivey, editor Raleigh
Christian Advocctte, - preached at
night. Cheir sermons were true utter
ances of great truths of the Scriptures,
and were appreciated by the large
congregations that heard them. It is
rare that two more delightful setmons
are heard in our city. The vocal Solo
by Miss Ella Newman, of Knoxville,
at the morning service was highly
enjoyable.
The morning and evening services
at Fifth street M. E. Church were also
conducted by Drs. Bivins and Ivey,
the latter delivering a powerful sermon
on the "Temptation of Jesus," and the
former delivering one equally as
strong on the "Christian Interview
with Simon Peter after Jesus' Resur
rection." The music at both services was of a
high order, and especially delight ful
was a solo by Mrs. Parker.
At St. John's Episcopal Church,
Rev. Theodore D. Bratton, D. D , rec
tor of St. Mary's Church, preawhed an
exceptionally interesting and able ser
mon, selecting bis text, "The Testi
mony of Nature Based on a God,"
from Acts, 14th chapter, 17th verse.
The men's meeting at the Toung
Men's Christian Association, which
was largely attended, was conducted
by Prof. Sykes, who made an excellent
and logical address.
The religious exercises at Wrights
ville Beach were also very attractive.
In the morning, Rev. A. A. Marshall,
D. D., of Raleigh, one of our most dis
tinguished visitors, preached to quite a
large and appreciative congregation,
and in the afternoon a sacred concert
was given at the Seashore Hotel by
the hotel's superb orchestra.
Opening of the Oceanic Hotel.
To morrow night the Oceanic Hotel
at Carolina Beach will open in all its
glory. The opening will be an enjoy
able affair as there is going to be a big
dance arid many other forms of amuse
ment. The steamer Wilmington will make
a delightful moonlight trip to the
beach, leaving the city at 7:30 o'clock
in the evening and returning at mid
night. .'.

A GAME OP FREEZE OUT.
AJdermsn Bailey Can't. Even Obtain New
bern Ice.
It looks as though the "iceman" is
trying to freeze the aldermen out for
sure; at least one particular alderman,
Mr. E. P. Bailey. The trouble that
Mr. Bailey and other aldermen have
experienced in getting, or rather not
getting, ice has already been told our
readers, but yesterday there was
another turn of the wheel. Mr. Bailey
was refused ice from the ice factory at
Newborn but why the refusal, he
does not know. It happened in this
wise: Friday Mr. Bailey sent a mail
order to Newborn for one hundred
pounds of ice, enclosing sixty cents in
stamps, te price asked for the amount
of ice desired. Yesterday he received
a letter from the factory, stating that
they could not supply him and return
ing the stamps. No reason was assign
ed for the action. Inference can be
drawn if desired.
The early part of last week Mr.
Bailey obtained ice from Newbern,
but it was througHfenother party.
New Hats for the Reliables.
Our "finest" if the weather be fair,'
for of course we can't christen new
raiment unsuspiciously, will make

brand new hats, made especially for
them and of the best quality possible

of New York city. The hats, which
are beauties and quite stylish, .arrived
yesterday. The officers will sport caps
of a dark blue, while the privates will
all look "handsome" in black felt hats,
attractively set off by small gold cord
bands and tassels.

WILMINGTON, N. C.,
OLD MAN MURDERED.
Mr, Gaston Price -Found Dying
. in His Store Not Far From
the City. V
WITH HIS HEAD CRUSHED.
Robbery Supposed to be the Motive of the
Crime A Chest in Which He Kept
His Money Foand Broken Open
and Plundered No Cine.
One of the foulest deeds in the annals
of crime in North Carolina was com
mitted Sunday night at Navassa, the
site of the Navassa Guano Company's
large planCabout four miles froni the
city and situated in Brunswick coun
ty. The crime, horrible both in prepa-
ratOh and execution, was a two-fold
one, burglary and murder, and in both
nstances Mr. Gaston Price,' who has
been numbered among our best citi
zens for many years, was the victim.
The story of the diabolical deed is as
follows :
Mr. Price for a number of years, up
to about the 28th of February, was in
the employ of .the Navassa Guano
Company. Subsequently, being well
and favorably known at Navassa, he
opened up a refreshment stand there,
using for that purpose the front room
of his residence, wkich contains three
rooms and is the third house from the
Cape Fear river bridge. Sunday Mr.
Price was .at his residence and
was . seen well and hearty about
o'clock that night However,
negro, Henry Moore, passed the
house several hours later, about 10.30
o'clock, and had his attention arrested
by hearine Mr. Price groaning, but '
not noticing anything suspicious and
thinking that the old gentleman was
either groaning in his sleep or slightly
ill, continued on his way.
Yesterday morning the colored cook.
Caroline Waddell, reported at the
Price residence for duty, but could not
get in. Upon hearing her employer
eroaning she at once became fright
ened and gave the alarm at the Na
vassa factory. Messrs. L. L. Boone,
C. McEachern and C. W. Stewart
went immediately to the house and
upon finding the doors and windows
ocked and hearing Mr. Price groaning
broke in the front door and discovered
the ghastly crime.
Mr. Price was lying on his back a
few feet from the dgor, unconscious,
his face bathed in blood, and his skull
cracked in at several points, while on
the floor not far away was a bloody
axe and a hoe handle about four feet
ong, - the assassins1 - weapons; --The.
motive for the terrible deed was plainly
apparent, as everything in the house
was in a chest and a-trunk, both being
broken open and rifled.
The three gentlemen acted promptly
in the matter and notified the coroner
of this county, Dr. C. D. Bell, who
had the injured man brought to the
city and conveyed to the City Hos
pital, where he and Dr. A. H. Harriss
did all in their power to save life, but
their efforts were of no avail and at
4.10 o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Price
passed away without for one moment
regaining consciousness.
The remains were prepared for
burial and then conveyed to Mr. J. F.
Woolvin's undertaker's establishment
where, at 10 o'clock this rooming.
Coroner Bell will impanel a jury and
hold the necessary inquest
The funeral will be held at 3.80
o'clock this afternoon from the resi
dence of Mr. C. W. Stewart, 420 Red
Cross street, and all members of Cape
Fear Lodge No. 2, of which the de
ceased was a member, his membership
dating back to 1879, are ordered to at
tend in a body.
Mr. Price was well known and high
ly thpught cohere. He. came to Wil
mington about 1869 on the revenue
cutter Moccasin and has lived here or
hereabouts ever since. His birth place
is Johnston county this state, and this
month he celebrated his 65 birthday.
He wasa step father of pur well
known townsman, Mr. C. W. Stewart,
aud of Mr. Walter Stewart, of Phila
delphia.
The motive for the murder was
conclusively robbery and was, no
doubt planned carefully and in a
cold blooded manner. From all in
dications Mr. Price was just getting
ready to retire when the assassins
knocked on the front door of the
bouse. . ' Thinking that, it was a cus
tomer and never for once . suspecting
that. danger was; lurkiftg near, he
unlocked the door and admitted his
visitors, whom in all probability he
recognized and spoke a friendly word
to. Turning, he must have started to
lead the way into the store when the
assassins blows fell, for he was found
only a few feet from the door. The
assassins then commenced their work
of plunder, but first coolly shutting
and locking the door, while the
stricken man struggled in agony on
the floor, for the manner in which he
turned himself over and around was
plainly evident After accomplish.
ing their two fold diabolical object
the assassins departed, locking the
door after going out of the house and
throwing the key away in tne Dacs:
yard, where it was found yesterday
momine.
Just what the robbery amounts to is
not definitely known, as it is not
known how much money Mr. Price
had in the store at the time, but it is
certain he had change to the amount
of about $15. He also sold a piece of
property anout me xss instant to J as.
B. Elkin and wife- for $400, but
whether or not he had this amount in
the house is not known. - J ; ;
It is said that a short while ago Mr.
Price was way lay ed and robbed on the
Navassa road of a sum or money.
There is vet no due to : the crime,
-but tracks were discovered around the
., Mr. Price's skull waa crushed at
several places and the entire length of.
the base. :

SEABOARD TRAIN DELAYED.
Heavy Rain Caused Several Washouts
Along the Line Yesterday.
The heavy rain played havoc with
the Seaboard Air Line yesterday be
tween here and Wadesboro. The
through train from Charlotte, due to
arrive about noon yesterday did not
reach the city ' until this morning
about 12.30 o'clock. This train was
delayed at several places along the
line on account of washouts and
the track being awash. The first
obstacle it encountered- was at Sand
Hill, near Hamlet where it had to re
main for a number of hours on ac
count of a washout After getting
passage over this part of the road,
another stop was necessary near Phoe
nix, where a washout occurred late in
the afternoon. Luckily the west-bound
train yesterday afternoon escaped this
last washout. ,
The rain was exceedingly heavy all
along the line and at some points the
track: is-said to have been under water
for more than 200 feet .
About a score: of . passengers were
aboard the belated train, among whom
were A. W. McLean, Lumber ton;
T. B. Gibson, McColl, S. C; J.. J.
Gledhill, Chicago; Archie Palmer,
Baltimore; O. S. McColl, C M.
Weathley, J. M. Jackson and D. D,

Another washout occurred near
Wadesboro and delayed the . Atlanta
special.

The heavy rains throughout North
Carolina and Virginia cut the base
ball games off all 'round yesterday
and the teams had nothing to do all
day but rest on their oars.
There is nothing new in local circles.
It was rumored on the street yester
day that Wilmimgton was to get
another pitcher to make a quartette of
twirlers, but invuiry of the officials got
a denial of the report The directors
state that there will not be an addition
to our present trio of box performers.
A Good Day for Washouts,
But Bad for Baseball.
If the Giants take four of the six
games with Portsmouth and Norfolk
tbis week they will be doing well.
Umpire Upchurch, who has been
on leave of absence, has been ordered
to be in readiness to report for duty.
The snake editor of the Raleigh
Post doesn't like "lobsters." He is
content to gorge himself with mock
Turtle soup.
No team is well equipped with
less than four pitchers. The Giants
have but three. Emergencies must be
provided for.
High, the champion pitcher of
Newport News, has been 4 'sold" to the
Crescent team, of New Orleans for
$500? Good pitchers come High.
Yesterday was a great day for the
Turtles at Newport News. They
couldn't play ball, but they had a
spleadid opportunity to take a bath.
Rain "shut out" the game
between Portsmotuh and Wilmington
yesterday. With goodt weather they
may play a two-bagger to-day or to
morrow.
The Giants will meet a hard propo
sition at Norfolk-the last three days of
this week. The Skippers have strength
ened their team materially since they
played in Wilmington.
Stanley's the most valuable man
the Turtles have. He pitches twice
a week and plays in center field four
times a week. His fine work at the
bat is thus utilized n every game.
With the encampment at
Wrightsville from July 10th, to
August 10th, and several excursions
over the railroads to this city, there
should be large crowds to see many of
the games at Hilton Park.
Tha ornithological bf the Raleigh
Post, after noting that Person struck
out nine men here Saturday and yet
lost the game, says: "Strike-outs do
not win games and cut a very small
figure in the result, 'though some of
our contemporaries incline to think
otherwise."
The horse editor grieves over the
attenuated appearance of the baseball
department this morning. Last night
when he ascertained there would be
no news from Portsmouth except
"game postponed," he began bellow
ing the old song "I'm lonely to night,
love, without you."
The Financial Feature.
The Richmond Times: The Rich
mond club is now on a sound finan
cial basis, and under the business di
rection of Captain C. H. ; Phillips
promises to go through the season with
credit Manager Kain will have ex
clusive charge of the players and has
already set about strengthening the
team.
From the outlook at this time there
seems to be no doubt that the league
win maae some, money mis season.
There will be no large sums made.
The North Carolina clubs will prob
ably lead in this respect with Rich
mond next Newport News and Nor
folk will hold their own and Ports
mouth will, probably come out even.

Incendiary Fire This Morning.
1 About 1:30 o'clock this morning a
telephone fire alarm was sent in and
was .occasioned by fire being discov
ered in a small one-story frame house
on Second ' street opposite Cowan's
livery stables,' and which is used as a
restaurant The fire, which was of
incendiary origin, was discovered by
Mr. J. W.-Brown, of the stables, and
but for his prompt action would have
resulted ' seriously. He broke in the
front door of the house, and with the
aid of the stable hands quickly extin
guished the flamec - Bat little damage
was done.' " " - - r
