COMPANY C ENTERTAINED. Officers Gave Very Elaborate Dinner in CempUmeat to Regimental and State Gaud Officials Some Qeoeral Eacampmeat Doings. Camp Aycock, 4 Wrightsville,'July 26. Decidedly the event in camp life to day was an elaborate dinner party given in the officers mess pavilion at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon by CapL Adrian, Lieutenants Metts and Gilli- gan and other officers of the Wilming ton Light Infantry in compliment to Col. Rodman and regimental staff and Colonels Bain and Macon and their staffs. The dinner was a very elegant one and proved the most enjoyable so cial function since the State militia went into camp. Among the. guests were Col. Rodman, Col. W. A. John son, Col. T. H. Bain, Col. Francis A. Macon, Col. Walker Taylor, Col. S. J. Cobb, Maj. W. P. Robertson, Maj. C. C Bunch, Maj. C. H. White, Maj. Gary, Hon. A. M. Waddell, Mayor of Wilmington, Mr. E. P. Bailey and others. A number of impromptu toasts were responded to, but there were no set speeches. The company street was decorated in honor of the event with flags and bunting and the company formed and came to present arms when the guests passed through the company street to the mess hall. The day in camp in general was one of the hottest on record but there were breezes at intervals which made the life worth living after all. A little shower came up in the afternoon and brought a welcome relief, but upon the whole the day was very uncom fortable. One of the soldiers in camp was overcome with heat during the day, but he was soon uplgain and like a true militiaman was as lively as ' a cricket The, dress parade this afternoon was witnessed by a very large gathering of ladies, who showered compliments upon all the boys regardless of com pany divisions. The Second Regiment is showing up most satisfactorily at drill and with an occasional exception the lines in passing in review are al most perfect. The feature in camp to-morrow will be a sham battle at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon and a large crowd is expect ed down from Wilmington to witness it. With the excellent schedules now in effect on the Seacoast railroad it will be an easy matter for all who de sire to come either from the city or the beach. One thousand blank car tridges will be used in the fight. The First and Second battalions will attack the Third under Maj. Griswold behind breastworks and some lively firing will ensue. Following is the order calling for the battle which will be waged with great spirit: Headquarters Second Regiment, North uaroiina state uuara. Camp Aycock, July 26.

The weather fiend incarnate changed his modus operandi yester day. Instead of greeting you with the accustomed "Aint it hot?" he dropped back to the regulation nineteenth century inquiry and made it: "Is it warm enough for you?" To all of which the sweltering individual re plied "yea." A telephone alarm at 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon brought the fire department to No. 1314 North James street, between Fourth and Fifth and Taylor and Howard streets.

Roundtree has been arrested ; the two others hare not He says that he was at Hilton night before last and was sitting near the river with a woman who had accompanied him there. A negro came up and lounged around the place for some time and the couple decided on account of his' suspicious actions to remove to another place. Before they had gone very far three other negroes one of them he does not know came upon him and with clubs in their hands, demanded his money. This' he gave up to the amount of $42 which he had collected the day before; The negroes returned his pocket book empty and when he and the woman ran, the crowd pur sued and the two escaped, the woman into a lumber pile and Galloway to the city, where two policemen were secured and Roundtree's arrest wis effected.

Raleigh, N. C, July 26. Fate Went back on the Champions to day, aided by Umpire-Meade, who with a big bunch of misjudged balls and strikes made them lose their first game of the week. Kelly decided at the last moment to put Smith in the box against Stewart, but it was not a wise move by any means as the visitors hammered him hard. But dumb playing, an error by Allen and Meade's unusual "punky" decisions made them of no avail. Wilmington opened up with three runs, due to several hits and a wild throw and error by LeGrande. Their next and only other run at as obtained by good hitting. The Turtles were not entitled to either run in the first.. Powers, the first man up, flew out to Warren. Atz, the next one, was struck out, as was plainly apparent to every one except Meade, who gave him another chance, which profited a hit. Atz tai led on a hit, and Allen, after the sec ond Turtle was out, made a horrible muff in right and allowed one to be ncreased to two. In the second, the Turtles obtained another, partly due to a wild throw of Clayton to first. The fourth was the fateful inning, and sad to relate, as Stewart demoralized' by Meade, and some dumb work by Frost at second, gave both hits and bases on balls. Meade's misjudgments are decidedly de moralizing to batsmen and keeps them guessing. Devlin's brilliant stick work and Warren's magnificent third base play ng, both'unexcefTed onThe Raleigh diamond, were alone worthy of the game. THE SCORE BY.

" The Raleigh rhyme factory will be in full blast to-day .- Raleigh has played two more games than Wilmington in the present series. The .Turtles are now sixty-two Giants.

But suppose it should "slip a cog" to-day t This is tough weather on the ball players in the interior towns, where the mercury dances around the 100 mark. The Hornets and the Tartars are tied. This will make , the game at Charlotte this afternoon aa 'exciting one, with a large attendance. It will take a smart guesser to name now the winner in the second series. A. little bad luck may turn the percentage -column topsy-turvy. The monopolistic maniac was at large again last night He couldn't understand how the Giants could nossiblv lose one out , of the last five games. played. From the Stab's Raleigh advices, it seems that Wilmington has had quite enough of Mr.Meade. When will it be our turn to play again with Mr. Mace at the helmt. ' . : ; Previous to the game of yesterday, out of four games played Raleigh had lost alL" Out of the four successive games Wilmington had lost none. On any reasonable basis of calculation, therefore, Raleigh stood to win yes terday. :The umpire, who "evens up," un intentionally or otherwise, on strikes and balls, knocks the starch out of a pitcher and demoralizes the batsmen. News and Observer: "Third base man Atz should learn that to obey orders is the rule of good baseball players. His place was on the bench and when Umpire Meade told him to go he should have gone." -r There were 1140 paid admissions to the game at Charlotte Thursday. This means that at least 1300 people witnessed the game. Charlotte has warm sporting blood in her veins. Just as was expected. The fol lowing pinch of Diamond Dust is from the. N. andOr5I yesterday: "Who lost the game yesterday! Don't every body explain at once. Give the other follow a chance." Warren led with the stick yesteis day three bits and one run out of five times up. Frost, McGinnis, Clay ton and Devlin also caught Smith's delivery for two hits each and Sebring for one. Kelly led in batting for Ra leigh with two singles and a three- base hit, Ddvltn got the only two- bagger.

THE FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT Sonthglde Hose Company Woo Champion ship Reel Race Tribute to Captain McNeill and Mr. VonQlahn. The firemen's tournament in Char lotte closed with Inter-State contests yesterday. On Thursday the most exciting event was the race for the Champion ship Reel Belt and it was won by the Southside Hose Company of Greens boro ; time 50 seconds. This is the third year in succession that this team Has won the belt, and according to the rules under which it is raced for it becomes their property for all time. The records made by other competing teams in this race were : Concord 56 2 5 and Spencer 514 5. Chief Sch nibben, of Wilmington, was one of the judges for these contests. A Greensboro team was the only one that entered for the junior reel race and won first and sec ond prizes of $25 and $10 respectively ; time 24 2 5 secends. The hand and grab reel races took place. in tbe afternoon. In the hand race. Spencer No. 2, did not make the plug; Concord No. 1, did not mare the nozzle; Durham No. 2, made it 33 3-5 seconds ; Charlotte 30 seconds ; Tarboro, 34 and Greensboro Southside 30 2 5. Charlotte took first prize ; Greensboro, second. In tbe grab reel races Spencer took first prize, $100, and Tarboro second, $50. The records were: Spencer. 21: Durham, 22 2 5; Charlotte, 22 4-5; Concord, 24 1-5; Tarboro, 22 1-5. and Greensboro, 23 1-5. In its notes of tbe tournament the Charlotte Observer has this pleasing reference to gentlemen well known in Wilmington : President Jas. D. McNeill is very popular with all the firemen. They are very fond of him as is evident from the great respect they have for his every wish or word. When the time came to elect officers Wednesday night ne was put in nomination by several men at once, and, regardless of the fact that he protested vigorously on the ground that he bad already been seven times elected to the posi tion and thought that some one else should have it, he was re-elected by the unanimous vote, enthusiastically 'given, of the conven tion. He was cheered heartily and liberally as he rose to thank his fel- iowmen for tbe honor. He takes great interest in the work of the asso ciation and knows tbe names of all the men who attend the annual meetings. In Mr. W. C. VouGlahn. of Wil mington, as secretary of the. associas tion. President McNeill has a fine as sis tan t. He is industrious, amiable and courteous. An Explanation. Inadvertently the following appear ed in a recent issue of the Star in connection with the investigation of the affairs of the Atlantic National Bank by Bank Examiner Wm. A. Lam son : "It is quite unnecessary to say that he found N every thing in good shape. as the bank is easily recognized as the soundest and the most ' cleverly man aged of any bank in the State." It is not the policy of the Star to make invidious comparisons. Least pf all does it intend to reflect on other banks in the State by declaring that any one of them is "the soundest and most cleverly managed." Tbe Garrison at Sonthport. The controversy over a parcel of the garrison site at Southport as between that town and the United States gov ernment's appears to have reached a settlement The Southport Standard of this week says' that at a meeting of the'Board of Aldermen Monday, it was decided to accept the offer, of $1,000 made by the U. S. government for the property. 8tar readers will remem ber that suit had been instituted against Capt. E. W. VanO. Lucas, represent- ing the U. S. government, for this property, but it is presumed that the acceptance of $1,000 means a compro mise of the action. Capt. Schuster done to New York. Capt. Charles Schuster, of the U. 8. Engineers' Corps, who has been at work at Fort Caswell superintending the building of the fortifications there, has been ordered temporarily to New York.' Assistant Engineer & F. Bur-bank,- of Washington, 1. C. has as sumed charge oj Capt. Schuster's work. at Caswell. NEGROES INJURED. Two Stevedores Caught Uuder Falling Mass of Kainit Yes--terday Morning. RECEIVED SEVERE INJURIES. Were Working In the Hold of a British Steamer, Discharging Cargo for Acme ; Manufacturing Company Now ' at the City Hospital. While unloading kainit from the .hold of thelBritish steamship Gladys at the Carolina Central wharf yester day morning about 8 o'clock, Lewis Ingram and George Cary, colored stevedores employed by Mr. John Cazaux, were the victims of a severe accident, which may prove serious if not fatal to both of them. The negroes were working with picks at a large mass of the material,, closely jammed in the vessel, and were undermining it so that it would fall and make its transfer to the wharf more easy. The mass fell before the negroes expected it and they were beneath it, while others standing near barely escaped. They were very soon taken from the avalanche of the ma terial, however, and sent to the City Hospital,' where Dr. J. T. Schonwald attended them.i Ingram has a fracture of the hip and also a dislocation of the hip. Cary has a fracture of the thigh and also a dislocation of the hip. It is possible that both have received internal in ju ries. They were doing very well this morning when inquiry of their condi tion was made at the hospital. The Gladus arrived in port a few days ago from Hamburg and her car go is for the Acme Manufacturing Company. ' DIED AT ROCKY MOUNT. Mr. Harold Bewick Qnelcb, of This City, Passed Away at 9:15 Last Night. A private telegram received in the city last night conveyed the Bad intel ligence to friends and relatives in Wilmington of the death of Mr. Harold Bewick Quelcb, which oc curred at 9:15 o'clock P. M. in the A. C. L. Hospital at South Rocky Mount. Mr. Quelcbrwas the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R, Quelch, of near Wil mington, and a brother of Messrs J. P. and Bertram Quelcb, of this city, who are so well and favorably known here. He also has a sister. Miss Amy M. Quelch, who resides ' with her parents near Wilmington. The deceased for some time, with his brothers, had been employed by the Atlantic Coast Line Company, and on June 195 he became ill with typhoid feuer. Two days later he was taken to the A. C. L. Hospital where every thing possible was done to bring about his recovery, bufwithout avail. Members of the family made 'frequent visito to Rocky Mount toiurse him, and his mother and brother, Mr. Jack Quelch, were with him when he died.' He was a young man of many ad mirable traits and had scarce entered info young manhood. Numerous friends will sympathize with the family deeply in the loss they have sustained. The remains will reach the city via the A. C. L. this morning and the funeral announcement will be made later. JUDGE E. K. BRYAN EMPLOYED. He Will Make Last Effort In Behalf of Lewis Conncil, of Payetteville. Judge E. K. Bryan went up to Fay- etteville yesterday morning in connec tion with the late evidence that has developed in the well known case of Lewis Council.sentenced to hang upon the charge of rape, but several times respited by the Governor. Judge Bryan has recently been employed as attorney for Council and went up to learn tbe history of the case, together witb the new evidence that has come out since the trial. He returned yes terday evening after having a talk with the condemned man, several witnesses and Mrs. West, the woman whom it ia alleged Council assaulted and who with her husband is fighting all efforts in behalf of commutation. The Payetteville Observer of yester day afternoon says that Judge Bryan is not employed by Council or any of his family, but by a number of citizens, who think there is doubt of the con demned man's guilt. City Subscribers. City subscriDers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers.

Miss Estelle May Most Passed Peacefully Away at Her Home Last Night. It is a source of genuine sorrow for the Star to chronicle again this morn ing: the death of another of Wilming: ton's bright and most promising young people Miss Estelle May Muse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Muse, which occurred last night at the family home, Seventh, between Ches nut and Mulberry streets, after an ill ness of three weeks with typhoid fever. Miss Muse was a young lady of very great promise, just ntering into a beautiful young womanhood. Her age was sixteen years, two months and nine days, and her friends in the city were numbered by the hundreds. She was actiye in the work of the First Baptist Church, and in many private and public enter tainments her talent as a musician was argely sought. The blow is an ex ceedingly sad one to the devoted par ents and a brother, Master Willie Muse, to all of whom the sympathy of the community is poured out. . The funeral will be conducted this afternoon at 5 o'clock from the First Baptist Church by the Rev. Dr. Calvin 8. Blackwell, and the interment will be in Oakdale. THE WEATHER YESTERDAY. Declared by Many to Have Been Hottest Day of the Sammer. It was another scorcher and the cloud and slight rain in the afternoon brought little relief.
