VERY SAD ACCIDENT.
Fireman King Severely Injured
by the Explosion of a Dy- t
namite Shell.
HE KICKED THE CARTRIDGE
And the Explosion Followed Accident
Happened Lite Yesterday Afternoon
at the House of Hook and Lad
der Company No. 1.
The house of Hook and Ladder
Company No. 1, on Dock street, near
Fourth, was the scene of a sad acci
dent laie yesterday afternoon, in which
Ladder man R. H. Kins; was the vic
tim. By the accidental explosion of a
small dynamite cartridge, such as are
used by the company when occasion
at fires demand the blowing up of some
object, the young fireman had his two
hands badly injured, one almost blown
to pieces, and his flee so badly hurt
that ft is very probable he will lose
the sight of his left eye.
The accident happened about 6.15
o'clock, just after the unfortunate
young man had returned to tne nre
house from supper. Upon reporting
for duty after bis evening meal, be
stopped for a few moments 'and on
versed, with CapL W. P. Monroe, of
the company and seyeral other fire
men who were loitering just outside
the front entrance of the house. He
then entered the buildipg and went to
the rear. Almost immediately the ex
plosion occurred and Capt. Monroe
and the others rushed inside and found
King covered with blood, his hands
horribly torn and bleeding and his face
badly scarred. With it all the fireman
preserved his usual coolness and
pluckily asked where he could ' find a
physician. Chief Schnibben at once
placed the unfortunate young man in
his biifegy and accompanied by Capt.
Monroe he was sent to the office of
Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy who tempore
arily dressed his wounds and Men sent
him to the hospital.
At the hospital Dr. W. D. McMillan
took the patient in charge and with
the assistance of Dr. Hall, of the in
stitution, amputated the thumb and
three fingers of the left hand. The
right hand was also badly injured,
but the physicians were able to save
all the fingers. The face was also in
jured, yery likely to the extent of the
loss of the left eye, . but that will not
be known definitely until Dr. W. C.
Galloway makes an examination to
day.

-was due 10 a dynamite cartridge,
which was lying on the floor of the
fire-house, near the door. He care
lessly kicked it andsthe explosion fol
lowed. Capt. Monroe and the other mem
bers of the company are in ignorance
in regard to the exact cause of the ac
cident, as all, except King and one or
two others who were at supper, were
on the outside of the fire house.
Fireman King is a young man and
has a wife and child. He is the son of
ex-Jailor W. A. King.
Yonog Colored Lad Drowned.
A small colored boy, Robert Thomp
son, eleven years of age, was drowned
in Cape Fear river yesterday morning.
The accident happened abaut 11
o'clock at the foot of Hanover btreet.
Young Thompson and a companion
were out in a small row boat. The
former's hat blew off into the river
and in attempting to fish it out he fell
overboard and was drowned, not
being able to swim.
The body was soon recovered and
after it was viewed by the coroner,
Dr. C. D. Bell, was turned over to the
parents, who live on Hanqg&r street,
between Second and Third. Dr. Bell
did not deem an inquest necessary,
as the accidental cause of the tragedy
was plainly evident,

A ROYAL RECEPTION.
Qiven Last Night by the Wilmington
Lodge of Elks to Their Dls- .
trlct Deputy.
The reception accorded' District
Deputy C. F. Tomlinson last night
by the Wilmington Lodge of Elks
was a royal one.
The district deputy arrived in the
city at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was met and escorted by a special
committee, composed of Messrs. L.
Stein, W. A. French, Jr., and R. W.
Wallace, to the Orton Hotel, where
the committee most graciously enter
tained him at supper. They then
acted as his escort to the elegant Elk
Temple. ' .
As the guest of honor was on busi
ness bent, the lodge first held a special
session for his inspection. One of the
main features was the initiation of a
candidate, Mr. Adolph Goodman, and
the lodge's crack degree team handled
him in a skilled and most picturesque
manner.
Upon adjournment of the special
meeting, the social session was held,
and it was a merry party who gathered
around the festive board.
W. J. Bellamy, Esq., chairman
of the . special committee, called the
session to order in his usual attractive
style and then gracefully surrendered
the gavel to Past Exalted Ruler H. J.
Gerken.
Mr. Gerken called upon many of the
big-horned fraternity for speeches and
each responded in a happy .vein.
Among the speech-makers were
District Deputy Tomlinson, of the
Winston -Lodge; Fred Harper, Esq.,
of the Lynchburg (Va.) Lodge, and
Dr. Chas. T. Harper, W. J. Bellamy,
Esq., Robert Ruark, Esq., and Mr. L.
Stein, of the Wilmington Lodge.
Many of the members were also to
the front with amusing "stunts" and
in this line Messrs.- Edgar Bear and
Julius Taylor excelled.
The repast was a most elaborate one
and was served in elegant style.
District Deputy Tomlinson will
leave this morning to visit the Greens
boro lodge. He is now on his annual
visitation tour . before attending the
Grand Lodge which this year meets at
Milwaukee.
MIN1STERINQ CIRCLE
Of the King's Daughters Have a Splendid
Record for the Last Fiscal Year.
The ministering circle of the King's
Daughters have decided that it is not
practicable to rebuild the Shelter of
the Silver Cross so they have abandon
ed that idea, but in lieu of this they
intend to have sonje special charitable
object next year. The record of the
circle for the last fiscal year is a splen
did one. It shows that much great
charitable work was accomplished.
Among other things done the past
year the circle paid the rent of several
poor women and furnished many
more with fuel during the Winter
months. They also sent a crippled
youne girl to a New York hospital
and kept her there under the best of
treatment for three months; paid the
railroad fare of a destitute mother and
little one to their home in Savannah,
and donated $25 to the Associated
Charities. These are only a few of
the many noble deeds of charity that
this grand organization of Christian
workers accomplished.
The officers of the circle are as fol
lows: President Mrs: C H. King.
Vice President Mrs. Wallace Car
michaeL Secretary Mrs. Stella Divine.
Mrs. King as president also acts as
treasurer. , ,

Tabboro, N. C, June 25. The
game was lost by Wilmington to-day
simply through base-running and
tardy play at the bat Wilmington
made three consecutive hits and Staf
ford was given, a base on balls in the
third inning and still we did not score.
It seems that fellows who have play
ed as long as we have together would
be able to take advantage of openings
and run bases with a little judgment.
Both sides were easily blanked up to
the third, .when Clayton singled to
left Devlin followed with a pretty
single, but .Clayton couldn't make
third. Crockett was given the signal
to bunt, ut after he had one strike
and one ball, he was told to hit
with the runners. When the ball
w8 pitched Clayton started for
third and "Lizzie" simply stood still
and allowed Clayton to be thrown out
at third without attempting to help
him; but Devlin was seized with men
tal cross-eyedness and made no at
tempt to go to second. He was watch
ing Foster throw Clayton out at third.
On the next ball pitched, Crockett
singled and Devlin went to third.
"Lizzie" started for second and Foxy
Foster made a bluff to second, then
threw to third, catching Devlin asleep
at the switch. Stafford got a base on
balls, but Cranston was an easy out to
Ashenback. In the seventh, with one
down Devlin made a terrific drive to
left cenwe and after a long run Curtis
muffed it "Scissors" made his fourth
hit . of the game, putting Devlin
on third. When "Lizzie" went to
second he stopped up long enough
to let Devlin run in. Then
occurred a long chase in which
Devlin was pushed over the
base by the man with the ball, but
Staley said "Safe," because Wolfe
had just led Devlin out of the line.
Tarboro did not even look dangerous
till the eighth. After two were down
Deisel singled, Milligan hit a slow one
down to Warren who; had plenty of
time to threw him out at first, but
instead threw to second to catch Deisel,
and both were safe. Weddige singled
and Deisel scored; Foster followed
with a single and scorgd GUligan, Ash
was an easy out to MoGinnis. They
made "eight hits to - our sevgn, and
made three errors to our one. We
lost through stupid playing. The
features of the game were Crockett's
hitting and Curtis' fielding. Attend
ance good.

Champions Lt Yesterdsy, But
We'll Welcome Them all the Same.
Twelve to six at Raleigh indicates
a rae time game.
It was close work, each team
scoring in, but one inning.
"Beaten, but not dismayed."
But we must have two out of three.
With two league teams and the
trimmings" there, Tarboro must be a
lively town.
We'll welcome Ashenback's Tar
tars to-morrow, too. They . are now

Ashenback scraped the tar off the
heels of ' his Tartars yetterday, but
they'll be all "stuck up" again to day.
Don't be discouraged by the fig
ures in the percentage column. There
will be a mighty shaking up of the
dice in July.
Don't forget the ssries of three
games between the Champion Giants
and the Tarboro Tartars, to begin at
Hilton Park to morrow.
The Aurora Tarborealis brighten
ed the baseball horizon of our Edge
combe sports yesterday. Congratula
tions to the Tar nver boys, provided
they don't- win to-day.
In the game between the Turtles
and the Hornets, Monday, pitcher
Stanley, of the former team, made the
good showing of 14 strike-outs. Mar
tin, for the Hornets, struck out three.
The Richmond papers keep a
storage battery full of electrical kicks
for all the umpires. Consequently,
their comments shook he gentlemen
who eloquently exclaim "play ball.!'
The lunatic, who has ' not yet
been put in a strait-jacket, says he
can't see to save his life how the
Champions got beat yesterday. .He'll
soon be looking for six out of four
games.' -

Post says : "The Red Birds are laying

"Good gracious I" says the ubi
quitous baseball bedlamite. "The
Turtles 1000 and the Giants only 500.
I told you so," The poor devil is
utterly oblivious of the fact that the
loss of one game makes the difference.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Convened Yesterday Afternoon- Several
Important Cases CooslderedCoart
to Reassemble This Morning
There , was a short session i f the
United States District Court yesi-niay,
Judge Thos. R. Purnell presiding
His Honor arrived in the city shortly
past noon yesterday via the Seaboard
Air Line- from Raleigh; and almost
immediately commenced the last
court's unadjourned term. Other
court officers in attendance were
District Attorney C. M. Bernard,
Marshal H. C. Dockery and Deputy
Clerk W. H. Shaw.
The most interesting matter consid
ered was the petition of The Morton
Trust Company, of New York to fore
close the $150,000 mortgage on the
Wilmington Street Railway Company.
Geo. Rountree, Esq , of Rountree &
Kerr, representing the plaintiffs, ar
gued in behalf of a decree of sale, and
Hon. John D. Bellamy, representing
certain bondholders, argued against
an immediate foreclosure
Both arguments consumed most of
the lime of the - session, so the matter
went over until to-day.
Waddell & Battle were present as
counsel for the defendant company
A non suit was entered up in the
case of Robinson Brothers, of Annis
ton, Ala., vs. the Dixon Cotton Mills,
of Laurinburg. N. C, an action
brought for a number of bales of
cotton.
The sale of certain property by J.
O. Kerr, commissioner, in the suit of
the Cape Fear Lumber Compm; vs.
L T. Coltingham, was confirmed.
During the session J. O. Kerr, Esq.,
was introduced to the court and sworn
in as practicing attorney.
Court will meet again this morning,
when argument in the Railway suit
will be resumed.
Several other cases are to be brought
up at this term, one of the most im
portant being the admiralty suit of
the negro laborer, Cotton, against the
New York steamship Saginaw for
$5,000 alleged damages. The case
will probably be tried, as it is under
stood that counsel representing both
sides are ready.
Judge Purnell is also here to attend
the State Bar Association convention
He is spending his leisure moments at
the Beashore Hotel.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Of the Organ Fund Society of Grace
Church a Big Success.
While each of the many successful
entertainments given by the Organ
Fund Society of Grace M. E. Church
in past years has been of an unusually
attractive and enjoyable nature, the
one given last night was the superior
of all. It was the ever amusing birth
day party, and occurred at the resi
dence of Mrs. M. E. Grafflin, corner
Third and Walnut streets. The party
was sort of two-fold, being given
late in the afternoon for the enjoy
ment of the little ones and repeated at
night for the pleasure of the older
folks. The attendance was very large
uponeach occasion, and everybody
had a thoroughly delightful time.
Not only was the handsome Graf
flin residence used, but the spacious
lawn as welL Both places were bril
liantly illuminated, the latter by
many strings of pretty Japanese lan
terns and gayly decorated. The lawn
with its picturesque and summer ad
vantages was, of course, the most at
tractive spot, especially for tete-a tete
couples.
The ladies of the ancietv wera on
hand and promptly accommodated
their many guestswith delicious re
freshments and a good time in gen
eral. And we are glad to note that
their energetic efforts netted a neat
sum for the organ fund, which is now
about complete.
The party was' enlivened by music
furnished by Prof. Francisco's New
York Italian Band.
Horse and Religious Editors Feasted.
The horse editor and the religious
editor had their palates "fickled to
death" last night by the receipt and
subsequent annihilation of a donation
of ice cream from the confectionary
establishment of Mr. John. W. Plum
mer, Jr. The way the h. e. and r. e.
froze on to that delicious dish would
have made you .scream. Verily,.
Friend John, we thank thee. '

him on deposit in the bank and which
was paid out by the cashier on pre
