NEGRO MURDERER H RE.
I -
John Wallace Was Brought Yesterday
by Chief Freeman, of Goldsboro A
Squabble Over Reward.
Chief A. B. Freeman, of Goldsboro,
arrived in the city yesterday morning.
bringing with him the negro murderer
John Wallace, notice of whose cap
ture was printed in these columns yes
terday. The negro was promptly
dentified as the man wanted and was
turned over to Sheriff Stedman and
placed in jail for trial at the August
term of court
Wallace confesses his identity and
talks with unconcern of the crime
he has committed but sets up a
plea of self defence. He has told con
flicting stories, however, of the man
ner in which he was justified in the
killing. One of his versions of the
selfsdefence plea is ' that Dudley
threatened him on the Saturday pre-.
ceding the shooting, that he armed
himself for an expected attact from
Dudley; that f n Monday, Dudley made
still further threats against him and
that when he was accosted by Dudley,
he fired the shots. Another .version is
that without provocation Dudley set
upon him with a scantling and white
retreating he was forced to shoot his
victim.
The coroner's jury, however, ren
dered a verdict Tuesday and placed
the murder upon Wallace. Several
eye witnesses were examined, who
testified point blank that there was no
self defence in the killing whatever.
Capt J. P. -Cutts, who first made
the discovery of Wallace, stated that
a negro on his train, soon after leav
ing Teachey's, told him that the negro
for whom the reward was offered was
in an empty box car. As toon' as an
opportunity offered itself, he closed
the car door, keeping the negro an
unwilling prisoner on the inside.
When the train reached Goldsboro,
Chief Freeman and Officer Den
mark were informed of the contents
of the car and they soon brought the
negro out
Upon the arrival of Chief Freeman
here yesterday, he immediately made
a demand for the reward and so did
Capt Cutts. They were unable
to make a satisfactorydivision of the
sum and so Chairman McEachern, of
the Board of County Commissioners,
refused to make a payment to either
party until they could satisfactorily
settle it between themselves as to the
division. Chief Freeman wants an
equal division of the money between
himself, the officer who assisted him
and Capt. Cutts. Capt Cutts wants
an equal division of the amount all
round, including the negro laborer,
who Informed him of the presence of
the murderer on his train. Chief
Freeman secured a receipt for the
prisoner from Sheriff Stedman and
returned home iastnight, with the
purpose of contesting the matter in
the courts unless the reward is paid
soon.

It was impossible for the Wilming
ton Giants to get the Raleigh Turtles
on their backs yesterday afternoon in
a slow rain which fell throughout the
entire contest. On the other hand the
Giants were made pygmies of, for the
time being, by the Crustaceans, who
plunged their claws unto the mud, got
close down to the ground, and refused
to be moved not even into tears, for
they all wore beaming smiles and
were overjoyed at the hope of defeat
ing the Giants.
The- Game was slow and wearisome
and the umpire should have had more
consideration for the 400 who sat
under umbrellas on the bleachers. But
as to the umpiring, let the mantle of
charity fall over the mass of blunders
and cover round the edges of the heap
with fragments of the cloak of inex
perience.
The Red Birds scored in all but two
innings. - They openea witn a pass to
Venable who was forced by Stanley.
Stanley was sent "across" by Sorber's
two base hit. Kelly flew out to Dev
lin who doubled Sorber. For the
Champions, Clayton got a pass and a
double of Cranston's hit to third pu
two men down. Devlin walked and
he -and Warren Were safe on Henna
gers's error. Sebring went out to
first.
The run by the Turtles in the sec
ond was on a single by Atz, sacrifice
by Venable and a two base hit by
Phillips, Raleigh's new first baseman,
who joined the team here yesterday.
LeGrande fanned, Phillips stole third;
Smith walked and Allen made a bluff
throw to second and caught Phillips
at home. The locals went out in their
order from the infield.
Venable was hit by a pitched ball in
tbe third, stole second and scored
on Frost's error in handling a hit by
Stanley. Sorber sacrificed but Kelly
was out, second to first and Atz fanned.
Wilmington all but scored, in its turn
to bat on a single by Allen, sacrifice
by Cranston, and a base hit by Devlin,
Clayton having been caught at home.
Raleigh was blanked in the fourth
and so was Wilmington. In the fifth,
a single by Stanley, double hit by
Sorber and a long fly out of Kelly to
centre, netted another run for the
visitors, while Wilmington went out
in batting order Thackara, Frost and
Allen.
The only run by the locals came in
the next inning after Raleigh had got
nothing. Clayton fanned, Cranston
walked, Devlin singled past second
and Cranston went to third, Warren
bunted and Cranston scored on Le
Grande's error. Sebring was out
third to first and Devlin scored. War
ren later scored on LeGrande's passed
ball. McGinnis and Thackara walked
while Frost flew out to second.
In the seventh the visitors scored on
a single by Venable, a wild pitch by
Allen, a base on balls to Stanley and a
single by Sorber. CJayton got a two -
base hit for the locals after Allen had
fanned, but Cranston and Devlin could
not make it a score.
In the eighth Hennager got safe on
Cranston's error, was sacrificed by
Phillips and scored by LeGrande's two
base bit Venable flew out to Cranston
who doubled to first, after LeGrande
had scored- on Smith's single. Mc
Ginnis got a good hit for the locals
with two men down, but that was all
that could be made of it.
In the ninth the agony ceased. RaL
eigh got two runs on a single by Stan
ley, a two base hit by Sorber and an
error of "Ihack." The locals got one
more on a pass to Allen, a fly out of
Clayton to. Kelly, a fan by . Crans
ton and the theft of two bases by Al
len and a wild throw of LeGrand to
Atz. Devlin walked and Warren flew
out to second.

What's the Matter
With Our Batters?
We thank our stars that it was not
a shet-out
Old King Kel 'was a jolly old fel
yesterday.
That was a rattling good game at
Tarboro yesterday.
The Giants seemed to be very
short on Jamaica ginger.
The Turtles were in their element
yesterday mud and water.
It would be mighty near a bull's-
eye to call it a featureUss game.
If tbe Giants work in perfect har-
moi to tiay they have a gocd chance-
to win.
The attendance was about 450,
which was excellent, the weather con
sidered.
Wu didn't like the "sssieiy" of
the 600; so, we renewed our allegiance
to the 400.
The Giants ought to pull them
selves into a heap and win the game
this afternoon.
Allan did a cute piec .f head
work when he demolished that Turtle
at the home plate.
Our sympathies go out to the
Hornets "A fellow feeling makes us
wondrous kind."
Where's Soffle, who was signed
by Wilmington about two weeks
since? We need him.
The voting contest was hot as
love last night. It was worse than an
eleclion for coroner.
Allen was not at his best in
pitching, but he did some excellent
work outside the box.
A case of Schiedam Schnapps has
been ordered for the Giants for snap
py playing, you know.
It was only a case of suspended
animation with .the Komical King,
Thursday. The Turtles resurrected
him yesterday.
Base hits: Raleigh, 12; Wil
mington, 5. What's tbe matter with
our batters? Will they never get back
to their old form?
The terrible Tarboro Tartars play
here next Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday. The three last days of the
week Wilmington will play in Ra
leigh.
Smith gave nine bases on balls to
four by Allen. He struck out six
men, while Allen struck out live. The
trouble was that the Turtles lambasted
the Giants on hits.
The horse editor stepped into the
'country store" last night, invested a
dime and drew a can of baking pow
der. He says he's going to take it out
to the Park with him to-day and make
it raise hades if the Giants don't win.
A Great Game at Tarboro.
Special Star Telegram.
Tarboro, N. C., . July 19. To day's
game was the prettiest and most ex
citing ever seen here. Both pitchers
pitched good ball and received gilt
edged support. Neither side was able
to score until the eleventh inning,
when Bush scored the only and win
ning run.a Clark for the visitors led
in batting. Russell's two running,
catches for the locals were phenom
enal. the score by innings.

A SPLENDID SUCCESS.
The Baseball Bazaar Closed Last
Night in a Blaze of Glory
at the City Hall.
MORE THAN $500 REALIZED.
Stewart Won Oat in Voting Contest and
Tbsckara Took Second Prize Many
Entertaining Features and Good
Time-All Honor to Ladies.
The Baseball Bazaar is over, and
thanks to the unselfish and untiring
efforts of the enterprising ladies of
Wilmington, headed by Mrs. Cuthbert
Martin and Mrs. A. B. Skelding, the
net sum to the credit of the Wilming
ton Baseball Association from this
source is something oyer $550, includ
ing, of course, the opening fete at the
W. L. I. armory, last night a
week ago.
The Bazaar proper came to a close
last night at the City . Hall after the
opening night at Hilton Park Thurs
day, the change having been made
yesterday on account of the very in
clement weather.
Although it was impossible to make
more than a limited notice of the
change of place, the hall last ni?ht
was thronged and the patronage was
gratifyingly large, nearly $250 having
been realized. One would expect, too,
that within a day it would be next to
impossible, to move all the pharapher-
naliafrom Hilton and open at 8 o'clock
in the new location with any measure
of satis faction, but nevertheless the
ladies and a few gentlemen assistants
went to work like beavers and soon
had the spacious hall in gala attire.
The scene was even prettier than, at
Hilton and the various contests wax
ed just as warm as on the night pre
vious when the great success; at the
Park was scored.
Tbe building was brilliantly lighted
and the decorations were pretty and
effective. The "country store,3' the
largest and most attractive department
of the bazaar occupied the stage at the
south end of the hall. It was
even in much more appropriate
form than at Hilton on the
night previous and was just as
liberally patronized. On the right en
tering the building, a large blackboard
announced bulletins front the various
contests that were going on in the
room. Next to the right came tbe
wheel of fortune, which proved to be
such a fruitful source of revenue and
amusement on the night before. It
had lost none of its old-time enchant
ment of the night before and General
Manipulator Cowan bad all he wanted
to do; so did the lady assistants. Dur
ing the evening a very handsome pic
ture came off the wheel to Mr.
Louis Rowell and several of the Red
Birds captured useful prizes. Next on
the right was the lemonade booth at
which many of the thirsty gathered.
Upon the left, entering the door,
was the apartment for dancing with
music Many of the devotees of the
Terpischorean art found pleasure in
that department. Just beyond the
dancing floor were the ice-cream,
candy and cake booths, from all of
which came good sums of money.
The voting contest for the' most
popular Wilmington player elicited
greatest enthusiasm and resulted in a
victory for Pitcher Stewart, who re
ceived the handsome suit of clothes
offered by Mr. S. H. Fishblate. The
second prize was a handsome
ebony, comb and brush, with
sterling silver mountings, offered by
Mr. Warren S. Johnson. It went to
Catcher Perry Thackara, the good na
tured fellow known in baseball par
lance as "Thack." The vote in detail
was as follows: -Stewart 456, Thack
araS98, Clayton 333, Cranston 113,
Allen 64; Warren 44, Devlin 31, Mc
Ginnis 20, Sebring 15, Willig 6, and
FrostS.
The total number of votes cast was
1,482, and .the neat sum realized from
this feature alone was $148 .20. Up
until the close of the contest Clayton
and Stewart were in two or three votes
of each other, the total number for
each beipg.about 250. Then there was
a rally of Thackara's friends and on
the final vote when excite
ment ran high, Captain Clay
ton's friends were prepared for
an avalanche of votes for another
player but were caught off their guard.
It was ditto in. some other cases and
had the contest been reopened after
its close, perhaps the figures would
have shown otherwise. But all' had
fair warning and it was simply "a
survival or the fittest. Alter the con
test there were loud calls for the win
ners, but they gracefully gave their
admirers to understand that their forte
was ball playing.rather than "orating."
' .Season tickets were won during the
evenine as follows: No. 5 by Mrs. C.
S. Grainger; No. 6 by Miss Margaret
Ashe; No. 7 by Master Clayton Smith
and No. 8 by Master Amoret Cotchett
- Two handsome cakes were .won by
Messrs Arthur Devlin and W. L. WU
liford ; a handsome lace handkerchief
was captured by Mr. John R. Turren
tine. The baseball management desires to
extend to the ladies, who so graciously,
originated and carried the bazaar
through to sueh a success, their heart-
felt thanks.. The amount will make
it possible for Wilmington to main
tain its team on a winning, basis and
the successof tbe team will henceforth.
as was the success of the bazaar, be
due entirely to the ladies.
