However, we will try and makff the following, wired from our special cor respondent suffice : Norfolk, Va., June 18. The game between Wilmington and Portsmouth was void of sensational plays of any sort. Portsmouth scored one on a fumble by Crockett, Weaver's safe bunt and an out to Sebring in the third. They scored three more on hits and rather poor fielding by the "Down Home Boys." In the fifth on errors by Weaver and hits mixed in, Wil mington scored four. With the bases full and two out, Clayton hit a long fly to right and three runs were scored. With two out in the sixth, Stafford on third and Warren on first, Warren attempted to steal but stopped up in time to allow Stafford to score. The base running of the "Down Home Boys" was not up to their standard. Attendance very smf 11, Henry Bryan is here and there is not much doubt that Portsmouth will go to Tarboro and another team be put in one of tne North Carolina towns." The Giant's Are Still At Top of Column. Five to four. Hurrah galore 1 The Turtles have again joined "the 400." The Giants are still on the top rung of the percentage ladder. The Giants got away from the post in fine style yesterday and won by a neck.' O'Steen won the game for New port News yesterday by making a home run. Now, if the Giants and the Tur tles both win to day it will make the percentage column look better. Henry Bryan is in Portsmouth. And he isn't there just for the fun of the thing. He means business. With propitious skies, there may be two-bagger games at Portsmouth, Norfolk and Newport News to-day. Clayton distinguished himself by hitting a long fly to right field, with the bases full, and scoring three men.' If one may judge from the papers of those two towns, Norfolk and Portsmouth take but little interest in base ball. It is amazing how many ladies phone the Shar office for the base ball news. May the good-. Lord bless the rooterinas. Ohl King Kelly! Harness your Turtles and make 'em beat the Ship builders to day. They are too close to the Giants. Warren showed 'em a little trick, too, by holding up in his attempt to steal second base long enough to get put out, thus enabling Stafford to score the winning run. It Charlotte should get the New port News team she will doubtless change the name from "Shipbuilders" to "Hornets," and then there'll be a hot time, sure enough. It took eleven innings for the Shipbuilders to beat the Turtle one run. Wolf went in that box' for the former, played two innings, and gave the Turtles six hits. Ashen back re tired him and went . in the box him self. In the remaining nine innings he gave but Ave hits. He had the pleasure of striking out K. K. K. The Star special, from Norfolk says there is uot much doubt Chat the Portsmouth team will go to Tarboro and that another Virginia team will be Dut iu oue of the North Carolina towns- Possibly, this means that Charlotte will get the Newport News team. If the forecast of the Star's correspondent is correct North Caro lina will have four of the six teams in the league. . Games 0a Other Diamonds.

MYSTERY. But Reward Will Soon be Offered Coro ner's Inquest Yesterday Morning and Funeral In the Afternoon. - - " - . Mystery surrounds - the horrible murder of Mr. , Gaston Price. Not a single clue was discovered yesterday, although the county authorities are at work upon the matter and will do all in their power to apprehend yie assassins. As the crime was not com mitted in this county, but in Bruns wick, the authorities of the latteirplace are the ones to offer a reward for the capture of the murderers. However, Sheriff Stedman in taking an Active interest and rightly so in the matter. and yesterday ascertained that the Navassa Guano Company would offer a reward in conjunction with the au thorities of Brunswick county, and consequently yesterday afternoon ad - dressed, aleUccxt Sheriff Walterrf Brunswick. Or course,- Brunswick county will offer a reward, as the murder was a most heinous and cold blooded one. - It is now almost certain that the deceased was robbed of quite a sum of money, as a short while ago he drew several hundred dollars from the Wil mington Savings and Trust Company whore he did his banking business, and week before last only . deposited $200 of the sum of three hundred and odd dollars received as part payment on sale of a piece of property to James Elkin and wife. So this makes some thing like $500 not accounted for and which the assassins no doubt secured. Coroner Bell held the necessary inquest yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, empanelling the following jury: L. Tate Bowden, foreman, Robert H. Cowan, secretary. G. B. Cooper, Louis Chapman, Hugh Sweeney and L. F. Harper. After viewing the remains at Wiiolvin' undertaking establishment ttreet, the jury went into session. Only one witness was examined, Mr. C. W. Stewart, stepson of the deceased. His lestimonv was the tame as given in yesterday's issue of the Star. Tne jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death at tne hands of parties unknown. The funeral of the deceased was held yesterday afternoon at Mr. Stewart's residence, 420 Red Cross sueet,and was attended by a large concourse qf friends. Cape Fear Lodge No. 2, In dependent Order of Odd Fellows, also attended in a body. The service was conducted by Rev. F. D. McClure, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The interment was in Oakdale. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. F. Stanland, Chas. Schulken, G. H. Ward, Garry Holmes and W. H. Yopp. PROBABLY ANOTHER MURDER Body of a Negro Man Found Floating in Wrightsville Sound With the Head Crashed. The body of Robert Galloway, a young colored man of this, city, was found floating in the Sound . at Wrightsville Beach yesterday after noon about 1 o'clock, and from an in vestigation made shortly afterwards, by Dr. C. D. Bell, the coroner, foul play is strongly suspected. The body to all appearances had been in the water about twenty-four hours and the head and face were badly bruised and beaten up, one eye being completely out, while the centre of the forehead was crushed in. These signs proved conclusively to the coroner's jury that the deceased had either been murdered and his body thrown into the water, or that the injuries apparent were due in some manner to an accident. Con sequently the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death either by accident, or at the hands of parties unknown. . The body was discovered in the Bank's channel by a party of colored fishermen. They fished it in and noti fied Coroner Bell, who immediately went to the beach and held an inquest, with the result noted. The jury was composed of D. Hanna, foreman, E. E. Davis, secretary, Reuben Grant, S. W. Hennant and T. O. Millis. The death of Galloway is very mys terious. He was last seen, so far as can be ascertained at present, about 4 o'clock 8unday afternoon,', on the beach"7 where he had gone to see a girl -employed at one of the. oottage. Galloway was about 30 years of age, and had been in the employ of the Cotton Seed Oil Mills, of this city. about five years. He came here : from Charlotte. Cashier Ff J.
