The encampment is proving in every respect a complete success and the boys are enjoying themselves "hugely." ' The increased passenger facilities, on the Wilmington Seacost Railroad and its admirable schedule, " allowing -one to leave or reach the camp at will, is the subject of much favorable com ment here. A run over to the beach may be had at any time and the sold iers are availing themselves of the con venience by returning a liberal patro nage. The opportunities for bathing in" the surf, participating in the festivi ties at the beach and going up to or coming down from the city are unex celled as will be seen by the advertise ments in another column.

The "Najionists," accom panied by a detachment from the band, naraded each company street and put on a grand finale with a sere nade of Colonel Rodman. The rays of the sun were so intense that Colonel Whitney of the "blather akitea" could not attend morning drill, so he repaired to the hospital, where he recovered in ten minutes after re call had berii sounded. Some of the boys have been blanket ing their comrades. They are having great fun over it but of course have "tackled" none of the commissioned officers.

Lxvni.- JLHE THE FIREMEN IN CHARLOTTE Races Are Interesting and Tournament is a Success Annual Election of Association Officers. The firemen's tournament in Char lotte is being largely attended and the various races are proving verv inter esting. The first contest on-Wednesday was quick steaming and distance. Theie were only two entries, Winston and Charlotte. . Winston won both. Time in quick : steaming, 12 minutes, 5 seconds; distance throwing water, 211 feet, prize, $50. In the quick steaming Charlotte failed to draw water at all. her engine haying proved a failure. The machine is 25 years old and out oi date. In the horse hose wagon contests in the afternoon the first prize was $100; second, J50.- Golds&w-Nov--T-on first prize and Eclipse, of Goldsboro. second. Wilsot's horse balked and an accident to a member of the Ashevifte team kept both these companies from making any time. Durham's time was 44 4-5. The Winston 8team Fire Company No. 2., made a record of 45 4-5. For these contests, Mr. W. C. VonGlahn, of Wilmington, was the starter and Chief Schnibben one of the plug judges. Greensboro Hook and Ladder Com pany No. 1 and Winston Hook and Ladder Company No. 1. entered for the hook and ladder race. Winston won the first prize', $100, and Greens boro second. $50. The records were: Winston, 49 seconds and Greensboro, 50 1-5. In the horse hose wagon contest that took place in the afternoon. Henry Coffee, one of the members of the Asheville company, fell from the wagon, just before the plug was reach ed and received injuries from which it is feared death will result The The young man was taken to a private hospital and is receiving every atten tion. His injuries are of an internal nature. At the night meeting of the State Firemen's Association all the old. offi cers were re-elected as follows: . Pres ident, J. D. McNeill, of Fayetteville; first vice president, H. L. Riggins, of Winston ; second vice president, W. a Orr, of Charlotte; secretary, W. C.- VonGlahn, of Wilmington ; treasurer, T. A. Green, of Newborn, and statis tician, L. J. Taylor, of Newborn. Capts. B. R. Russell and Louis Frie- moth, delegates from 'Wilmington, returned yesterday. Capt Russell says Charlotte has as chronic a case of theJiasebaU fever as she has of the tournament. ABOUT THE MAXTON GUARDS. Printed Taeadsy Morning. The Max ton Scottish ChUf of this week says: "In the Wilmington Star's two column report of the arrival of the companies of tne second itegimeni into camn Monday, there was an ab sence of the mention of an entire company, and that too not only the first company to arrive, nut reaiiy ine best comnanv in the State liuara tne best officered, tne best aniiea, ana the best fighters not only in the State Guard, but in the world. No. the Stab did not say a word about the Maxton Guards, and the conspicuous nesrlectof such will ever be remem bered aeainst the star by tne menas of the comnanv in Maxton, and we don't reallv believe the "Hoss Editor1 will ever be permitted to bunt snipe again in this county." The editor of the Chief should be ashamed of himself. He knows that the editor of the Stab has never been guilty of "conspicuous neglect" of Maxton or her interests. The facta are as follows: The first sergeant of the Maxton Guards promised the "encampment editor" a complete roster of the com- panyn time for publication Tuesday morning, out ionomo reuvu w to send it and the list was unobtain able until the following day. when it was published along with the roster of the Goldsboro, Wilson, Hertford and Edenton companies. The Stab quite agrees with the Chief that the Maxton boys compose one of the best officered, best drilled and most handsome body of soldiers in camp. . The Moonliiht Excursion. About 250 people last night enjoyed greatly the moonlight excursion on the steamer Wilmington to Carolina Beach and Old Brunswick, and return. The trip proved a most delightful one and Capt Harper announces that a repetition of the excursion will be made to night, leaving the city at 7:45 o'clock and returning at 10:30 P. M. The fare is only fifteen cents, and three hour's delightful breeze and enter tainment is in store for all who desire to take the trip. LOCAL DOTS. The fiend who insists on firing the inquiry "Ain't it hot!" ahould be frozen up in an iceberg. State Secretary A. G. Knebel, of Asheyille, is expected in the city in time to conduct the men's meeting at the Y. Mi C. A. Sunday afternoon. Capt. W. C. Rivera, of West Point, N.

The Tur ties were unable to-day to atop the march of destruction of the Champions, and about four hundred "fans" died hard. - As a Wilmington twirler Regan made his debut and barring slieht wildness caused by a fortnight's rest he was in splendid form. For three innings he killed the Turtles before one could crawl to first. His speed was strong and his delivery quick and de cidedly peculiar, which alone puzzled "Home Run" Stanley and the other sluggers. The Turtles scored a run each in the fifth and sixth innings, one of which was obtained by 'a couple of hits, aided by a wild pitch, and the other by a good clean two -base hit and a single. The Champions kent their thunder up their sfeeves, making a kind of lingering death for the Tur tles until seventh inning. The happy event transpired in this wise. After Frost had hit out to box, Allen made a beautiful two base hit and Regan and Clayton followed up his great lead with rattling singles, while Se" bring added to the merriment by a long fly to Sorber, which was suffi cient to clear all bases and send forth the joyful tidings. Warren was last out in the seventh by a fly to first. Tomorrow's game commences at 5 o'clock. Stewart will work for the Champions tomorrow while Kelly will select from Person and Stanley for Raleigh. Smith is slated for the box Saturday for Raleigh.

If the sand spurs shaken off in the operation are allowed to remain on the ground -and become dry they will be worse than ever. The Stab of yesterday, referring to the game of Wednesday, said "that was a pretty catch of Sebring's in left field, &c. It should have been cred ited to McGinnis, the grand old cen tre-fielder.

Wllmlnrton High School Defeated, 14 to 6. Second nsmt Cancelled. The game at Newbern yesterday, in which the Wilmington High School Champions "went up against" the first team of that city, resulted in a score of 14 to 6 in favor of the Newbernians. Pitcher King, of Wilmington, was sick and could not go in the game. 8weeney was telegraphed for,' but he could not go to the rescue of the home boys The team will return to day, having can celled the engagement for a second game. The line up of the Wilmington team was as follows: Moore, c; Green, Mclntyre, (capt) lb; Galloway, 2b; Neeley, 3b; Holt, ss; Heide, If; Wes- cott, cf; Chad wick, rf. Gettig and Bryan were the battery for Newbern, and Glenn and Jordan, formerly of the Raleigh team, played first and second base, respectively, 'for the op posing aggregation. The Newbern Journal of yesterday morning says in connection with tne arrival of the Wilmington boy- ble of winning, and the Journal will frankly acknowledge it would rather see tne Hewoern team lose to Wil mington than any other club." The "brotherly love," in a baseball way, existing between jxeweern ana Wilmington is thoroughly appreciated here by the "fans," and has been ap preciated throughout the season. The Star hopes that the Newoern enthusi asts will revive the project of bringing down an excursion to witness some of the coming league games between the Giants and Raleigh Turtles'. SENT OYER FOR BURGLARY. Preliminary Hearing of Negro Who En tered Residence of Mr. Geo R. Prench Mack Taylor, the negro wbo was caught Wednesday night as he was emerging from the residence of Mr. George R. French, which he had bur glarized, was given a preliminary hearing in tbe municipal court yester day morning, and sent to jail for the higher court in default of $250 justi fied bond for his appearance. The ne gro confessed the burglary and talked of his deed in a matter of fact way and there seems little doubt or a convic tion of burglary in the first degree when the case comes to final trial. There has been no one sleeping in the house since the departure of Mr. and Mrs. French for Europe early in the Summer, else an action would lie against the negro for burglary in the first degree, which is a capital offence. Eddie Corner, a negro implicated by Taylor at the time of his arrest, was subsequently taken into custody by the police but at the hearing yesterday morning. Taylor refused to testify against bim and he was released. Threw Lamp af Her. Levi Lebbv. a colored man not un acquainted with prison life, was bound over to the Superior Court yes terday .by Justice Fowler on the charge of assault with a deadly wea pon. He was jailed in default of a $25 justified bond. The assault was upon Mary Crawford, also colored at whom the defendant threw a lighted' oil lamp. Fleas Note Chance.

RAILROAD TRANSFER, Wilmington Feacoast Road Sold Through Hugh MacRae & Co., Bankers and Brokers. TR0LLFY SYSTEM IN SIGHT. Details of Purchase of Controlling Interest Not Given, Bat an Electric Railway to Ocean View Seems Certain. Possible Consolidation. ' Tne star can state ,tms morning with absolute certainty that a control- ling Interest in the Wilmington Sea coast Railroad has been purchased through the banking firm of Messrs. HughlffacRae & Co , of this city, and that it is tbe present purpose of the new purchasers to convert the rystem into a trolley line and to have the same in perfect operation by the open ing of the next season at the beach. The details of tbe sale and the fcame or names of the purchasers are not given out just yet for publication, but it is hinted that Mr- Hugh MacRae, active partner in the banking firm which consummated the sale, is the sole purchaser of the majority of ihe stock which is understood to approxi mate about four-fifths. The sale, it is understood, goes into effect at once but for the present, at least, there will be no change in the management A trolley line to Wrightsville Beach has long been a dream of pleasure to those interested in the welfare of the city and its summer resorts and it ap pears now that visions of a street car ride across the country to the ocean are about to be realized. It is not known when work will begin on the improvements to the road, but it is presumed that it will be in the early Fall. The change to a trolley system will easily make Wrightsville forge to the front as one of the most popular seaside resorts on the south Atlantic coast. Officers of tbe road yesterday de clined to talk of the sale, beyond the fact that they would concede the transfer; but nothing more. Engineers have recently visited the city and made a survey of the line with a view of converting the same into a trolley system. The Star learns that the trolley line will be run into the city and passengers to the beach may leave with as much ease and convenience as they would board a street car for their homes in the city. In the absence of an authoritative statement of the details of tbe trans action, it is conjectured by many that the sale of the property is but the first step in a consolidation of. tbe ilngton uasXiignt company ana me Seacoast Railroad, authority for which was given by a private act of the Legislature of 1899. Mr. Hugh Mac Rae is a large stockholder and presi dent of tbe Gas Light Company and this coupled with the fact of the sale of the Seacoast railroad and the further fact that the Wilmington Street Rail way Company is to be sold early in October by order of the United States Court, appears to lend credence to the surmise, which is given only as such. At any rate the trolley line to Wrightsville will come as a welcome innovation to the people of Wilming ton and those interested at Wrights ville. BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL SERVICES. Held Last Night by Junior Branch of Ep worth Les'zne, Orace Church. Beautiful and very touching memo rial services were held last night at Grace M. E. Church by the Junior Branch of the Epworth League in memory of its departed- member and earnest little worker. Miss . Marie Clawson, whose death occurred Mon day evening. In the midst of the large gathering of little folks was a vacant chair beautifully draped and on the back of it was the name in arbor vitae of - the departed member, who was so highly esteemed by the society. After a song and prayer service, Mrs. W. H. Shaw, manager of the League, paid a splendid tribute to the absent member, speaking of her earnest and faithful work in the League, first as its secretary and late ly as organist Mrs. .Shaw also referred to her devotion to the eharitable branch of the work and to the literary department, having in frequent benefit entertainments been one of the most accomplished reciters. At every meet ing she was always present, except when sickness interfered. By a rising vote the society adopted very touching resolutions of respect 1 which were ordered spread upon the minutes. Chairman McNeill Here. Chairman Franklin McNeill, of the Corporation Commission, arrived in the city yesterday from Red Springs where he has been spending a day or two. He will remain until Saturday.
