Blacky well, pastor of the First Baptist church, introduced Prof. Smith, em phasizing the necessity of a more thorough and systematic organization of 8unday school workers and 'com mending the speaker to the earnest attention of those present. Prof. Smith discussed briefly the advantages of an organization of Sun day school workers in New Hanover county in order that the systematic work being done by the Interdenomi national Conference may harmonize with and become a part of the 8tate work. He was listened to with much pleasure and great profit. Upon the conclusion of Prof. Smith's interesting address Bev. Or. A.

At an enthusiastic and well attended meeting of Wilmington Lodge No. 533, B. P. O. E. last night, it was de cided to hold the grand carnival and Elks' fair, postponed from last Spring, during the first week in November next. The enthusiastic "best people on earth" have gone to work in dead earnest and -the fair appears to be a certain succen. The following executive committee to have general control of the carni val was appointed: Messrs. Sam Bear, Jr., William J. Bellamy, O. McD.: Davis, H. J. Gerken, 8. H. Fishblate, The. H. Wright, W. F. Robertson, Dr. Thos. B. Carroll and Dr. Chaa. T. Harper. -The committee will meet next Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the parlors of the Elks' Temple to ap point sub-committees and perfect plans for the proposed fair and, carnival. A fourth straight went to the Hor nets from the champions yesterday in a game - characterized by good ball playing on both sides and especially so as to Allen on the slab for the . lo cals. Hia work to the batter was very much above the average - and with men on bases his ."head was always with him." He eminently deserved to win his game, but it was not the day to break the losing streak and shake off the hoo doo, and he lost There were, several pretty catches,' notably that of Sebring'a indeeplefr and a stop by Warren on third. The locals were not in their old form with the stick and could not get the ball on the ground. They deserved more hits at the hands of Hooker, but brilliant outfielding cut many of them off. The" same opened with a pass to Weaver and a sacrifice by Bigbie. Allen sent Drauby to first and Knau singled, scoring Weaver. 8 wander bunted and Drauby was caught at the plate. Swander stole second and Knau scored on Frost's error. Gates went out, third to first Wilmington with two runs to the bad, opened with Clayton's fly out to right and a beau tiful two base hit to left by Devlin. Se bring got a pass but with only one man down. Warren nd McGinnis each flew out high and long io right Clark, Hooker and Weaver retired the visitors in the secoud. Bass having rode to first. For the locals Capt Thackara sawed and Frost and Regan were out second and catcher on bunt The third and fourth innings were "out in their order" for each team, save a two base hit for Drauby, a sin gle by Thackara and Gates, sacrifice by Clark and passes to Clayton and Bass. The fifth inning was also nonpro ductive of runs for either team and the Hornets put their third and last run in cold storage in the sixth on a single by Bwander, a sacrifice by Gates and a base hit by Bass which he tried to stretch to a double and was caught at second, Swander scoring in the mean time. The remaining innings were charac terized by fast and furious ball playing,- during which neither team scored, delegating to the scorer the painful duty of recording a shut-out for the locals. There is a world of baseball infor mation in the figures, which' are as follows: THE BOO RE BY INNINGS. 12 3456789 RBI Charlotte. 30000100 03 6 1 Wilmington 00000000 00 4 3 Batteries: Hooker and Gates; Allen and Thackara.

Pitcher Such, late of the Raleigh team, has been signed by Selma, Ala., in the Southern league. . ' Began will pitch for Wilmington to-day. If he will practice about an hour -before the game he may get the rough edge off and do some excellent work. ' ' The attendance was not quite up to the' average; but it will get back to its old proportions as soon - as the Wil mington team is placed on a winning basis; It was a good game, notwith standing the score of 3 to 0. Charlotte got only six hits off Allen, and the fielding of Wilmington as a whole, was far and away above the average. , .The losing "streak" still hangs like a millstone about the necks of the Giants, and it is likely to remain there until ihreew Iburstrong players" are added to the team. Energetic efforts are now being made to accomplish this object' ' A. B.

Monk Cltyjndemnlf led 7 Against Liability. The complaint in an4ntereeting suit involving the title to the tract of land upon which the city rock quarry in East Wilmington is located and in which the city is made defendant in a claim for damages for trespassing in the mining and removal of rock there from, was' filed yesterday morning and the case will ome up for a hearing at the next term of the New Hanover Superior Court. The suit grows out of a question as to the title of the property upon which the quarry is located as be tween - Mr. W. A. Wright, from whom the city leased it, and Mr. Jno. W. Monk, who also lays, claim to the tract The. controversy over the pos- ... s session or tne property was maae nown to the Aldermen of the city several months ago and to guard against a possible liability in the premises, ap indemnifying bond , was required from Mr. Wright before pay ments would be made for rock quar ried. However, the suit will be an interesting one, though City Attorney William J. Bellamy, with whom a re porter talked yesterday afternoon, was confident that even an adverse ver dict, with the indemnity offered by Mr. Wright, would not result in finan cial loss to the city. The complaint in its first section alleges the ownership of the land by Mr. Monk and gives detailed boun daries of 4h e same. The . section sets forth that on or about March 30tb, and for some fima prior thereto, the defendant city wilfully and unlaw fully trespassed and since then up to the institution of this action has tresf passed upon the said lands and mined and removed therefrom a large amount of shell or lime rock, to the value of $10,000. The third section sets forth the alle gatfon that on March 30th, 1900, the plaintiff served a written notice upon the defendent, stating that he would hold the city liable for all damagea arising to said land by reason ol the excavations and mining and the removing of rock from the soil, but that the defendant has wilfully aud unlawfully persisted in making the excavations and leaving the same open and damaging the property to, the exf tent of $10,000. The fourth section of the complaint seta forth that the plaintiff, J. W. Monk, conveyed the lands in question by deed of mortgage to F. M, Gallo way, testator of Henry Galloway, de ceased, who is made a party plaintiff to the suit. Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy and Bellamy & Peschau represent the plaintiffs, while City Attorney Wm. J. Bellamy, with associate counsel, will look after the interests of the de fendant Forthcoming Marriage.
