Gary, General B. S. Boyster, of the State Guard, and other officials spent the day at camp yesterday and also lent their assistance toward making preparation for the coming of the "Second."

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."

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 SCOBE BT INNINGS, 12 3456789 RHK Raleigh 0110 0 0 0 0 13 3 2 Wilmington ...uiuuuuuu u 1 o Batteries: Stocksdale and LeGrande-; Sweeney and Thackara.

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. Charlotte Won Prom Tarboro. Special Star Telegram. Tarboro, N. C, July 20.

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 Another Basekall Benefit. The Star is informed by Mr. Jno. W.

C. C. TRAIN WAS DELAYED. Two Washeot8 Near Croolv Made it Poor Hoars Late A Very Heavy Pall la Wilmington Early Yes terday Morning. From al lsectionrof the country con tieuous to Wilmington there came re ports yesterday of heavy downpours of rain within the past few days. It is con jectured by many that irreparable damage has been done to crops - and that unless there is a cessation of the great fall, the record-breaking freshets in all streams earlier in the season will be repeated At Wilminsrton for the twentv four hours ending yesterday : morning at 8 o'clock the rainfall was 1.64 inchea and the news from the . Cape Fear river at Fayetteville was that the wa ter was over 31 feet and still rising. The heaviest rains appear to have fallen at points up the Carolina Cen tral railroad. At Lumber ton. Lum ber river is out of its banks and many cottages in the low lands across the bridge are up to their steps in water, the occupants going from their houses to dry land in boats. The floods of Friday night extended all the way down the Carolina Cen tral from Lumberton to Wilmington. Just below Cronly there were two washouts in the railroad track and the Carolina Central train, due here yes terday at noon, had to be kept at Cronly nearly four hours until the needed repairs were made. One of the washouts was at the first trestle this side of Cronly.1 Passengers who came in on the belated train said that the rains were very heavy and that farm ers all along the line of railroad were very gloomy at the prospects for a crop. Up the W. & W. railroad the rains nave aiso oeen excessive. A corres A pondent writing yesterday from Kenans vi lie says: "The farmers are not feeling at all jubilant over crop prospects. The water courses are higher than for the past thirty-five years. Truck crops around . Wilmington have also suffered much from the rain. Growers say the melon and csntaloupe crop is practically a failure on account of two much rain. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. xne misses unssey arrived m the city yesterday to spend some time. Mr. E. S.
