TRIAL FOR ARSON.
Ed Willis, the House Burner, Will
Be On Trial To-Morrow :
Morning.
SUPERIOR COURT YESTERDAY.
There Were Many Sentences to the Ceonty
ReadsSpecial Venire Ordered Sum
moned Two Colored Boys Got
Fonr Years Each.
Perhaps the most imporrtant feature
in the Superior Court yesterday was
tie formal arraignment of the negro
Ed Willis upon the charge of arson,
ti$ returning of a true bill against
him by the grand jury, and his plea of
not guilty to the same. Judge Allen
ordered a special venire of 100 men
from which to select a jury and Thurs
day, 11th inst, was set as the day for1
trial. The specifl venire was imme
diately drawn and 8heriff Stedmai
and his deputies were busy yesterday
in summoning those -drawn.
The particulars of Willis' crime were
given in yesterday's paper. He is a
very dark skinned negro, not more
than 35 years of age and is badly
paralysed on one entire side.
His expression indicates an unsound
mind and actions at the "fir
and his conduct since leads one to be
lieve that he is not far from insanity.
He was perfectly unconcerned as to
the proceedings around him yesterday
and appeared not to care or realize that
he would soon be on trial for his life.
Brooke G. Empie, Esq., is his counsel.
About the only other cases of im
portance during yesterday's 'session.
were those of Early Scott and James
Edwards, two young negroes who were
found guilty of breaking into Gay
lord's Racket Store about a month ago,
each of whom was given four years
on the county roads. The Scott negro
pleaded guilty to the charge.
Harry Thomas and Wiley Taylor,'
two diminutive colored lads, .were
each given 12 months an the roads for
the larceny of brass scrap from the
Atlantic Coast Line Company. The,
prosecution was conducted by Thos.
W. Davis,aEsq., who assisted Solicitor
Koddlph Duffy.
Sis Lucas, a negro woman of Racket
Store Alley fame, was given eight
months on the roads for the larceny
of money from the person of John
Stewart colored.
Jno.fMitchell, colored,' was given
two months on the toad for an assault
with a deadly weapon upon John
Jacobs. Jiyige Allen intimated that
if Mitchell opnld raise $20 -to supple
ment the school fund and pay the coat
he might let Mitchell off. The negroes
were passengers on a recent excursion
down the river. Many were sleeping
and in attempting to find a friend,
Jacobs "woke up the wrong passen
ger." The result was that he received
a stab through the hand and Mitchell
will have to do time on the highways.
Of the tales jurors summoned for
the day, G. 8. Boylan, J. L. Croom,
J. E. Marshburn and Jesse Wilder
were excused.
The following proceedings, other
than cases mentioned above, were had
during the day:
Harrison Brown, assault and bat
tery with deadly weapon; $10 fine and
costs or 30 days on roads.
Geo. Moseley, larceny; mistrial.

ing in which has been conducted a
school for girls for several years. Fai

money necessary for a handsome new
building. Clarkton offers spacious
eroundsand $2,700 for a building.
The claims of Clinton to the school
were presented by Mr. A. F. Johnson;
those of Faison by Dr. Jno. M.

The North Carolina Base Ball
League is no longer a possibility.
Its organization was perfected in
Raleigh yesterday morning with clubs
from Wilmington, Charlotte, Tarboro
and Raleigh and a schedule of games
mapped out to continue until Septem
ber 7th. The Norfolk and Richmond
teams are no more, and the Virginia
Carolina League is no more. It will
now be North Carolina ball by North
Carolina teams, and a healthier ar
ticle of the sport is assured.
The story of the dismemberment of
the two-State organization and the
formation of the new is very well told
in the. following special teiegram
received by the Stab from it's corres
pondent, "on the fly" last night:
"Goldsboro, N. 0., July 9. No
more bewildered lot of base ball people
were ever assembled than those, who
met in Raleigh last night for the pur
pose of reorganizing the Virginia-Caro- -
lina league, for before they had been
called to order by Vice President Higgs
Tarboro's representative received a
gloomy telegram from Managerjfryan,
at Norfolk, saying, that he was unable
to secure a team by reason of the al
leged absence from the city of the
foundering pilot of the ship 'Mary
Jane.'
'The meeting, however, went
bravely to work, reorganizing the
league under the old name, for the
sake only of retaining its National
protection and with the hope cherish
ed that Tarboro would be beard from
favorably before another sun had set.
Relying upon the sturdy grit and
pride of the people of the little city by
the Tar, sure enough, soon upon the
heels of breakfast came the glad tid
ings from Manager Bryan, that be had
secured a strong team and would
enter the league, else my story would
be short.
"The representatives, who had ad
journed to meet at ten o'clock this
morning, came together and perfected
the schedule for the balance of the
season, making same commence with
to day and end September 7th. While
this schedule may not seem just the
thing to each individual team, it is
the best that could be formulated with
four club league. In drawing it,
each of the other clubs made especial
care to try and give every advantage
consistent, to their baby sister, Tar
boro, giving them among other
things, the games in Charlotte during
the Firemen's Tournament Another
concession was made to xarBoro
that an equal division of gross gate
receiots. gentlemen, and ladies, ex
cept' the grand stand charge; for gen
tlemen, be divided with the visiting
club.
"The question of umpires is not fully
settled, but the outlook is that they
will be "Dicey" Winston and "Sly"
Robertson, both old ball players of
Carolina's greatest ball teams. We.
believe that this would be pleasing to
the base ball public.
"The new president. of the league,
who is a thorough going business man,
is determined that the umpiring shall
be good and that the foolish kicking
of the past shall be "cut out" He has
power to remove umpires when he
deems their work inefficient; has him
self severed all connection with the
Raleigh club. The public may rely on
him to do the right thing throughout
and administer the affairs of his office
impartially and with an eye only to
the success of the league.
"The best of harmony prevailed at the
meeting and it looks as if the league
has a much brighter -future. Certain
it is that the sharks have been left and
that a square deal will be accorded
wherever we may go.
"JNorth Carolina may expect cleaner
and better base ball from now on.
Congratulations to the vice president
whom Raleigh so much loves. The
percentage starts anew withr to-day's
game as follows: -;

The Game at Charlotte Yesterday.
Special Star Telegram. J
Charlottk, N. C, -July 9 Wil
mington won to-day's game after a
long struggle with the umpires There
was not an umpire on the grounds, so
it was decided to have one player from
each side officiate. Stewart represented
Wilmington, Lipp, Charlotte. Tbe
game started off all right, until Wil
mington forged ahead then Lipp began
to show partiality toward his team by
calling our men out when they were
perfectly safe. This started the kick
ing and twice our team left the field.
Stewart's decisions were in every re
spect fair. The "boy wonder" twirled
for Wilmington and after the first
inning pitched championship ball.
The run getting for Wilmington
started in the first inning. Clayton
singled, Cranston hit to pitcher and
Clayton reached second on pitcher's
error, Devlin flew out to pitcher.
Warren was hit by pitcher, Sebring
singled and Cranston and Clayton
scored. . Tbaokara flew out to center
and Warren scored, McGinnis was
out pitcher to first Nothing more in
tke way of run-getting happened un
til the sixth when Warren hit safe,
Sebring hit safe. Thackara was out
third to first, McGinnis hit to first, and
and Warren was thrown out at plate.
Frost, the new second baseman, who
easily carried off the batting honors
now came up with a pretty two
bagger, scoring Sebring and McGinnis
Allen, out third to first In the sev
enth inning, Clayson hit safe and ad
vanced on Cranston's out and scored
on Devlin's two bagger. Warren but
third to first Sebring out short to
first In the eighth inning Thackara
singled, reached second on catcher's
error, third on McGinnis' out and
scored on- Frost's single. Alien sin
gled, Frost went to third but was
thrown out attempting home. Clay
ton went out to first The attendance
was good, a slight increase over yester
day. Soffle.the Richmond second baseman,
has gone to his home in Hoboken,
and will not be able to meet the team
until the 20th of July. Willig as yet
has not made his appearance.

but not. to, the Loggerhead Turtles.
; It's all right We will have; the
sport (and fine ball, too,) all through
the season.
To-morrow the Giants and ; the
Hornets meet at Hilton Park. Crowd
the grand stand and bleachers. ; .
There will be no postpdnement of
the lawn party. Friday night is the
time and Hilton Park the place.
The reinforced Charlotte team is
now a fine one, and it will be found
mighty near the top when the season
closes. . ' , ' ; , - . - "
If you wish to see scores of fair
fanatics, lovely lunatics and rare and
radiant rooterinas, go to the lawn
party Friday night.
Second the efforts of the ladies to
make the lawn party a success. . Give
them what they ask for. Remember,
the entertainment is for the benefit of
the base ball team
The ' large crowd assembled at
Fishblate's yesterday to receive the
score from Charlotte showed that the
base ball enthusiasm is still running
high in Wilmington.
It would' not be fair to express
the hope that the victory of the Giants
at Charlotte yesterday would "leave
no sting behind." The Hornets may
need that weapon later on.
The base ball "Extra" issued
from the Star office about 1 P. M.
yesterday was welcome alike to the
lovely lunatics and the boisterous
bedlamites of the male persuasion.
Remember the meeting to be held
at the Elks' Temple this afternoon at
5 :30. Every lady who feels an inter
est in the success of Wilmington's
base ball team is urgently requested to
attend.
When tbe new pitchers needed
are added to the Wilmington team
the quartette of North Carolina will
be very evenly balanced in. point of
strength, and the games should attract
immense crowds.
The lady promoters of the base
ball lawn party request all merchants
who have, contributed articles for the
"country store" to deliver them at the
residence of Mrs. Cuthbert Martin,
420 South Front street, by 11 o'clock
A. M. to day.
The rare and radiant rooterinas
may go right on with tneir praise
worthy undertaking. As the North
Carolina teams are now constituted,
they will do as fine ball playing as was
ever seen in the South. Make the
lawn party a triumphant success.
Wilmington cannot hope , to main
tain its prestige until two first class
pitchers are added to, the team. In
pitching power it is. now the weakest
team in the league. In other respects
it ranks with the best The managers
are now using their best efforts to
strengthen the weak point
The Raleigh Post of yesterday
says: - "Stewart, w umington s cracK
twirler, was yesterday sold to New
Orleans and will leave at once to join
the Pelicans." The Star is author
ized by President Dick to say that this
statement has no foundation in fact.
The horse editor has been
showered with congratulations on his
elevation to the high and distinguish
ed position of Vice-President of the
North Carolina Base Ball League.
But he hears of no organized effort to
make it .a salaried office. Even the
"pickings" will not buy a soft drink.
