AN INTERESTING WAR RELIC.
Extra Edltioa of Old Wilmington Journal
QiYing News of Civil War.
Prof. Washington Catlett, New
Hanover's clever county superinten
dent of public, instruction.- yesterday
showed a Stab reporter an interesting
relic of Civil War times. It is an ex
tra edition of the old Wilmington
Journal, published April 17th, 1861,
and was found among the papers of
the late Col. T. C. Mcllhenny. The
issue was gotten out at 10 o'clock at
night to announce startling news re
garding the impending struggle -be
tween the States. The first note in the
paper is a call to arms from the Secre
tary of War and significant replies
from Kentucky and North Carolina.
Governor McGoffin, of .Kentucky,
said : "My State will furnish no troops
for the wicked purpose of subjugating
her sister Southern States." Governor
Jno. W. Ellis of North Carolina said
in reply to the call.: "Your dispatch
is received and if genuine, which its
extraordinary character leads me to
doubt, I will say that I would fegard
the sending of troops as a violation of
the Constitution and a gross usurpa
tion of power. I can be no party to
this wicked violation of the laws of
the country and to this war upon the
liberties of a free people. You can get
no troops from North Carolina."

of the Confederacy.

.Wilmington Boys in Trouble.
This week's issue of the Wadesboro
Messenger and Intelligencer publishes
an account of the arrest and sentence
to the chain gang of four young boys
from Wilmington. Their names are
John Marine, Robert Bland, Amos
Matheson and - Willie Rising and
the charge upon which they went
oyer for 15 days each was the robbery
of the house of a farmer near Wades
boro. The boys were led into the
mischief by a man from Graham, N.
C, and provisions were stolen. They
said they were working in a cotton
mill at Bennettsville, 8. C, and were
on their way to Concord, N. C, where
they had been promised better wages;
that they got hungry nd had to have
something to eat. In vie w of the cir
cumstances the warrant was amended
to forcible trespass and hence the
slight sentence.

All honor to Sweeney but ' no fra
grant flowers for the men behind him.
The game yesterday at Hilton was
another in which there were no fea
tures save the slab work of the twirl-
era. It was an agonizing game, liber
ally punctuated with kicks from the
visitors, principal among which was
Matinee Idol Stanley. He kicked at
everything in sight and when nobody
else was looking he kicked at himself.
It seemed to matter little with the um
pire, either, for he took it all semi-good
naturedly and the bleachers and grand
stand revolted at the sight Nobody
doubts but that the ''officiating clergy
man" was perfectly conscientious in
every decision and did just the very
best he could but he should get some
pointers from some of the old-time fel
lows before he goes in to umpire
another game.
Wilmington lost the contest simply
because the team as a whole refused to
lift it from the silver waiter upon
which Sweeney proffered it. There
is an apparent lack of organization
among the men, which the Stasis
glad to know the management is now
at work to straighten out.
Sweeney began making apes of the
visitors at the outset. Venable was
out to first; Atz fanned and Sorber
was out, short to first For the locals,
Frost flew out to centre; Cranston got
a pass but was caught napping ; Devlin
was out on a drive to first
Stanley walked in the second, stole
second and Henna ger fanned. Then
Stanley reached . third and scored on
Thackara's wild throw. Curran, was
out, second to first The locals scored
the only run on their turn with the
willow. Warren got a pass; Sebring
was out foul to third ; Warren stole
second and McGinnis fanned. Then
"Thack" got a splendid single to cen
tre and Warren scored on a wild throw
home, while Thackara went to second.
Stewart fanned.
In the third the visitors kept up their
run getting. LeGrande was out short
to first; Stockdale got a pass, stole
second while Venable went out sec
ond to first. Stockdale went to third
and on error of Devlin, Atz was safe
and "Stocks" scored ; Atz stole second
but Sorber was out on a drive to first.
The locals went down in their order.
- Both sides were up and down then
until the locals were at bat in the sixth
and gave an excruciating example of
school boy base running. They should
have scored, but they didn't Sweeney
led off with a pretty single and Frost
hunted safely. Warren was caught
off second and then close upon the
heels of Warren's retiring came Frost's
out on an attempt to get second. Cran
ston flew out to second.
Another good chance for a score was
lost in the seventh when the Turtles
had eone down in one, two, three or
der. Devlin led off with a single,
Warren sacrificed and Sebring singled
while Devlin was thrown out at home.
Sebring went to second and McGinnis
was out, foul to catch.
The eighth inning was uneventful
for either team, but the ninth netted
another run to the visitors after two
men were down. Venable was out to
first Atz fanned and Sorber singled.
Then Stanley hit to centre and Sorber
scored. Stanley was out reaching for
third. The locals came up and Frost
was bit but was thrown out trying
second. Cranston flew out to centre
and Devlin hit to right Warren was
out short to first:

The Giants Not Now 1
Ahead of Anybody.
Errors and careless base running
cost Wilmington the game.
Morrisey, a fine pitcher, was
signed by Tarboro yesterday.
- Sweeney pitched a masterly game
and would have won it with proper
support
The repeated kicking of the Tur
tles yesterday, Stanley being the most
prominent was disgusting. j
Talk about kicking? Why, con
sidering the shortness1 of their legs, the
Turtles are the worst kickers in the
State. -
The attendance was about four
hundred. But for the abominable
weather it would have been fifty per
cent, larger. -
Wilmington and Charlotte are
no" like two twin brothers in the per-J
centage column. You can't tell one
from the other.
Umpire Meade should have fined
the members of the Raiegh team
who insulted him yesterday daring
the progress of the game.
The Hornets inserted their little
stings into the hides of the Tartars in
the second game,- though fine work
was done by both teams.
- The lovers of fine ball playing
are proud of the admirable work of
Sweeney yesterday, specially so since
he is "native and to the manner
born,"
The Raleigh Post is reminded
that instead of "$250 or $300." the
baseball fete here yielded about $550.
It was not a one night affair, but a
two- bagger.
The following shameful attack on
the V. P., was made in a telegram re
ceived from Raleigh last night: "Capt
W. H. Bernard, Champion of Tail
Enders, Wilmington, N. C. : What is
the' price of canned lobsters? Only
expressions - of regret and pity heard
here at sad fate of Wilmington. John
Wilbur Jenkins, Editor Times.1"
The patrons of baseball in Wil
mington, notably the ladies, who have
done so much to strengthen -the deple
ted finances of the Association, deserve
recognition of their splendid efforts.
They wish to see the home team made .
at least the equal of any other in the
league.
Captain Clayton has resigned the
captaincy of the Wilmington team,
but will, of course, play in his accus
tomed position at short. Mr. Arthur
Devlin captained the team yesterday
afternoon. Capt Clayton did not play
on account of sickness.
The "penny wise and pound fool
ish" policy should not be entertained
for a moment The Wilmington team
should be strengthened at once by the
addition of at least two good men. If
this is not done it will not only drop
to the bottom of the column; but with
an insignificant percentage, within two
weeks; and this will be followed by a
falling off of one third to one-half in
the attendance here. This would en-.
tail a loss in receipts that would double
the cost of the needed playerb.

Two Fires Yesterday.
The department responded to two
alarms of fire yesterday, neither of
which were of much consequence.
The first was a telephone alarm at 2
P. M. and th fite was at No. 405 Wal
nut street, owned by F. Gooding and
occupied by R. M. Murray. The
damage was about $10 and resulted
from a defective ' ue. The second
alarm was from box 49 at 5 :50 P. M.
and the blaze was at the residence of
G. E. Burnett No. 901 South Fifth
street. The cause was the explosion
of an oil stove tank and the damage.
was slight

Freamslk. In the death of Mr. Patrick Don-
Ian, who departed this life July 11th, 1901, we
recognize the fact that Wilmington has lost one
oi its nonorea ana mgniy respected cibizsua. no
was one of the charter members of the 8t
Thomas Council, and for sixteen years filled the
office or Treasurer, He was ever energetic ana
faithful In the discharge of his duties.
Resolved, That In his death the Council has
lost one of Its most useful members, a man pos
sessed ot a genial and bright disposition, mod
est and unassuming In his manners, vigilant
and active lor tne Dest interests oi tne legion,
possessing al the attributes that make a man
no oie.
Resolved. That while we bow in numDie bud-
mlssion to the Inscrutable will of an all-wise
Providence "who doeth all things for the
best-," we lament the loss of our departed dead;
yet we are consoled by the faith that was
strong witnin nim;naving Deen permitiea in turn
dreadful hour to receive Him who is the "Life
and the Resurrection," 81qep, then, comrade,
sleep; the strife is o'er; no longer will you
answer at roll call; the sound of the gavel is
hushed to thy ear, thy requiem has been sung;
loving nanas nave iaia tnee to rest tar irom uu
land of thy birth. We have bedecked thy mound
with beautiful flowers, which will act as
sentinels to those who sleep In Jesus; then
will the dead arise and go to Paradise, its
Heavenly country. Be yea t nereiore conuoneu
by these words.

affectionate rawer, we Know mai woraa are
futile to express the bitter anguish or the heart,
when the happy home has been invaded by the
nana of aeatn ana roDDea it or us Deioveu one.
But death has been the temporary victor only;
for beyond the grave is immortality, and may
the soul ot our faithful mend and comrade
take Its flight and enjoy the happiness of eter
