SHAM BATTLE TO-DAY
Boys of Second Regiment Will
Have This Excellent Prac-
!
tice This Afternoon.
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:

Negro Huckster Says He Was Held
Up
Oa Thursday Night at Hilton.
George Galloway a negro huckster

charges of highway robbery at the
police station against Peter Round-
tree and two other colored men.
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

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 monopolistic maniac was at

understand how the Giants could

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

Warren led with the stick yesteis

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.

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

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

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.

who think there is doubt of the con
demned man's guilt.

DEATH OP BRIGHT Y0UNQ LADY.
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.
It matters not what the official
thermometer had to say about things
yesterday, it was declared by every
body easily the hottest day of the year.
Thermometers all over the city regis
tered from 98 to 100 degrees, though
the official temperature did not exceed
94 degrees. It was a great day-for
excursions, palm leaf fans and soda
fountains.
Comparison of yesterday's weather
with that of the day before suggests
that Wilmington was' not alone
frowned upon with disapproval by
Old Sol. For the 24 hours ending at
8 o'clock yesterday morning ' the fol
lowing temperatures were registered
at adjoining points: .Wilmington 95,
Charlotte 94, Cheraw 96, Florence
98, Qoldsboro 95, Lumberton 97, New
born 97, and Raleigh 98.
Had a San Stroke.
l$r. J. H. Mallard, a popular Wil
mington travelling man, suffered a
severe sun stroke at Spring Pope, Nash
county, on, Wednesday afternoon. He
was brought to the city yesterday
morning and carried to the home of
Mr. Henry E. Bonitz, where he was
doing Yery well ryeaterday evening.
His many friends here hope for his
early recovery.
