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. lux. Btareo vwat uu aLvmoui -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.

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.

As the guest of honor was on busi ness bent, the lodge first held a special session for his inspection.

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.

BWei lQi 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 North Carolinians by adoption. Go to the A. C. L. depot at 9.25 A. M. to-morrow and give the Obsmplooi at WUmiagtoa o.looma. 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.' - The rollicking, ? rootering. ran- tankerous, . religious reporter of the Post says : "The Red Birds are laying for the .Lobsters." All righti Lwe'U take the bird eggs and give you the goose eggs. " "Good gracious I" says the ubi quitous baseball bedlamite. "The Turtles 1000 and the Giants only 500.

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.
