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. .'. ,q m m ' Death of a Little One.

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 their appearance to-day decked ont in brand new hats, made especially for them and of the best quality possible by the French Police Supply House, 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. , & M. Examination Next month. Young men who wish to stand the entrance examination for the Agri cultural and Mechanical College need no longer go to Raleigh to do so, but can save all expense by being examined here. Such has been the notice re ceived by Prof, v Washington Catlett, minflrintendent of nublic instruction. from Dr. Geo. C. Winston, president of thr college..

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. : NG TUESDAY, JUNE 18, PENSIONS BOARD IN SESSION.

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, McColl, Bennettsville, S. O. Another washout occurred near Wadesboro and delayed the . Atlanta special. Died Sunday Morning.

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. Campbell Encampment Elected Officers. Campbell Encampment No.' 1, In dependent Order of Odd Fellows, had a big time last night.

Formal Opening Probably Friday Night. It is very probable that the formal opening of the Atlantic Tacht Club will take place . Friday night If this oe so, a rare treat can be looked for ward to, for the Atlantic Club has an enviable reputation for the delightful- ness of its entertainments, especially the openings.
