History of the Soldiers of the Old North State in the' Great War. VOLUME ONE IS COMPLETED. A Beautiful Tale of the Third Regiment and Some of Wllninfftoii's Immortal Soia A Noble and Jnst Work for Posterity. Wilmingtonians will be glad to know that the first volume of the Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from Nortn Carolina in the Great War of 1861-65" is off the press. A number of editions have been received in this city and will be read with interest, as its pages unfold to posterity the daring deeds of the greatest and noblest soldier of them all the Confederate. To our people it is of especial interest as it contains a .history of the Third Regiment, which contained .three companies from New Hanover county and two of the three were from Wilmington. The names of many-of the gallant officers of this regiment are immortalized and a just and high tribute paid to the men of the ranks. The history of this regiment is the work of the late Capt. John Cowan and Capt. James" I. Metts, of this city After a recital of the birth and launching of the regiment and a vivid narrative of its many battles, a "roll of honor" is given of those who gave up their life in the great strife, and in the list can be noted the follow ing Wilmingtonians : CoL Gaston Meares, Lieut Col. W. M. Parsley, Capt. P. a VanBokkelin, Capt David Williams, Capt. EL G. Meares, Capt. E. EL Armstrong, Lieut Thomas Cowan, Lieut Wm. Quince, Lieut Tobias Garrison, Lieut Henry A. Potter, Lieut Cicero H. Craig and Sergeant Major Bobt C. McBee. High tribute is paid to these heroes, i and also to the memory of the follow ng who have died since the recapit ulation: Lieut Col. Edw. Savage. Dr. F. McBee, Dr.- J. a Walker, Dr. Thos. P. Wood, CaptR. 8. Radcliffe. Capt Wm. A. Camming, Capt R. P. Langdon, Lieut L T. Pickett and Lieut W. H. Barr. The writers express deep regret that they were unable to furnish the names of the host of non-commissioned officers and privates, who fought for the great cause, and continuing say: "Good soldiers and true men they were, discharging duty under any and all conditions. Their hearts' blood flecked the soil of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and the fields of battle attest their prowess." The tribute paid 4o Capt VanBok- klen isa beautiful one and as f ol- ows: ( "He was universally popular and almost idolized 4y his own men. But twenty-one years of age and full of youthful ardor, intelligent, with acute conception of his duties and an indomitable energy in pursuing tbe line of conduct which a discriminating judgment dictated to him possibly more than any other officer of the company in wnicn ne commanded was due the high morale to which the company attained. A truly touching tribute is the fol lowing: " Adjutant Theodore C. James has also crossed v the' "narrow stream of death." - Our pen falters when we attempt to pay tribute to his memory companion of our youth, friend of our manhood. For him to espouse a cause was to make it a part of his very self. Intrepid, no more courageous soldier ever trod the soil of any battle field upon which the Army of Northern Virginia encountered a foe. Theim pulses of his nature were' magnani mous, no grovelling thoughts unbal. anced the equity of his judgment. "True to his friends and to principle, he remained as constant as the North star, whose true fixed, and resting quality there is no fellow in the firma ment" Leaving his right arm upon a' battle field of Virginia and exempt for that cause from further military duty, he disdained any privilege which such disability brought to him, but continued in active service until the last shot had been fired and arms stacked forever." In closing the historians write the following true and beautiful lines: The memories of the martyrs of the lost cause are too precious to oe relegated to oblivion through any blotches on the part or those wno could pi event it, or whose duty it Is to nresti ve them.: A duty owed first to the dead -and to the living. This historr of the Third JNortn Carolina has a valuable addition, ably written by Col." Wm. L. Dettosset, 01 this city. a Both sketehea are preis" jr engraving of a group of officers, each being a Wilmingtonian. They are CoL Gaston u'.gzi Rosset, Lieut. Cot Bi H. Cowan, Lieut Col. Wm. M.

The Elks intend Tuesday night to have another - big time, in honor of District Deputy Tomlinson, of Win ston, who is to pay the lodge an offi cial visit. Quito an elaborate pro gramme has been prepared and odds are heavily in favor of a hot time at the elegant temple. The feature of the special meeting Tuesday evening, aside from Deputy Tomlinson's visit, will be an initiation, and the star of the occasion will be Mr. Adolph Goodman. The work and the candidate will be done up in fine style by a select degree team. After the meeting a social session will be held, at which a splendid pro gramme of exercises, prepared by a special committee, will be observed. The speaker of the occasion will very likely be Mayor A. M. Waddell. Past Exalted Ruler H. J. Gerken will also deliver an address, his subject being "Loyalty," and Thos. W. Davis, Esq., will speak on "Hospitality." A num ber of impromptu speeches will, of course, be made, and there will be music galore. The clever committee of arrange ments is composed of Messrs. W. J.

Nor folk took the last game of the series by shutting the "Down Home" boys out by a score of one to nothing, and not until two hands were down in the ninth was the trick accomplish ed. Both pitchers were very effective with men on bases. Allen pitched" a. fine game and though I cannot say which team should have won, Norfolk should have received a shutout for nine innings at least The features pf the game were the work of both pitchers and Sebring's work in the outfield. He pulled down three or four that looked good for three bases. McGinnis made a fine catch of a line drive, and Devlin succeeded in captur ing a little "Texas Leaguer." After a collision with Crockett, he just jumped over Davy and doubled up Kemmer at second. So the game went until the ninth. In that inning Spratt, the first man up for Norfolk, hit an easy grounder to Clayton, who fielded the ball cleanly, but threw wild to first Lehman sacrificed him down to second, Morrisey was hit by a pitched ball, and Mullen flew out to Crockett; Smith cameun and "Tacks" got two strikes on him and one ball ; tnen ne attempted to sneak one over and catch Smith napping, but he made a little . one over third and 8pratt scored the only run of the game. Cranston aught a pretty game. I We leave for, Tarboro to-morrow. The Portsmouth players refuse to go to Charlotte, and there are no definite plans for that town. A rumor is afloat that they will sign a new team for Charlotte and black list all who will not go there. This , would not only be unfair to the players, but it is impossible, as they have no money to pay their hotel bills in Portsmouth and have received no salary for a month. They offered to report in Charlotte providing their board bills here be paid. There seems to be some doubt about the forfeited games in Portsmouth. Raleigh cannot claim any game, as she did not appear In uniform on the field. There are certain rules and regulations that go with the forfeiture of a base ball game. Wilmington complied with all these and the games were forfeited by an umpire who went there to officiate in the games. There is not even a chance for an argument on this issue.

The loss of the game at Norfolk yesterday makes no never mind. The Giants haver won the championship in the first series. With but one run in the game, and that one made in the close of the ninth inning, the game at Norfolk was hot enough for anybody. Richmond raised Kain at Newport News. He went in the box for his team and while he did -not kill Abel, He was Able to kill Ashenback who pitched for the Shipbuilders. " v Norfolk Landmark: "Wilming ton made her other runs one at the tin.- by good, hard plunking tbe ball. Sttwart, of the visitors, pitched a steady same and was entitled to the victory, while not a semblance of a mispiay was made by the husk)' ag gregation, from North Carolina " Raleigh Post: The new tissue will cause' general rejoicin? among the fans in Raleigh, for it rt.as a' successful season. Charlotte and Tarboro are good base ball towns, and they baye teams that are equal tr. the best in the league. There is ;v very reason to believe that the chaue will result in a financial gain to a-1 the clubs. The efforts of our esteemed con tempt, at Raleigh to count the. Giants out by not giving them, in the per centage column, the games forfeited by Portsmouth, are enough, to make a horse editor laugh. -Why, even without those two games, Wilming ton has won the championship. Richmond Times: "As was an ticipated, the league managers, at a meeting in Norfolk yesterday, decided upon a wise thing in transferring the Portsmouth team to Charlotte and the Newport News team to Tarboro. 'This action strengthens the league. A new schedule will be made and Ihe changes will be effective on Monday.

A drizzling rain and threatening - clouds kept many from the Beach last night. The ocean front for a time was an abyss of black ness, whilst the din of the surf and the pelting spray proved a test too severe for unstrung nerval or the sticking qualities of a borrowed complexion. At 9 o'clock, however, "not a cloud was visible. At the Seashore Hotel, notwith standing the threatening weather earlier in the evening, quite a crowd gathered last night to dance to the music of tbe Holly bush Orchestra. The occasion was the regular Saturday evening dance at the hotel. Among those dancing were noted a number of Wilmingtonians and cottagers in- ad dition to the guests of the hotel.
