Wilmington made it an even break
of the series of four games with Tar.
boro here .this week at the ball park
yesterday afternoon. The score was
five to four, and the five hundred
"faithful" who found their way put to
the grounds were amply repaid, for
their trouble and the price of ad
mission. " . 3 .
- The locals found Slsgle up in a bal
loon in the fifth inning and batted him
out for four runs, which, combined
with one in the first inning, to make a
lead that the Tartars couldn't over
come. The game commenced at 4 o'clock
with the visitors at the willow, and
they landed two men safely home be
fore Ragan could get control. ' Martin
singled ; Puliefer fouled to Thackara ;
Kemmer walked, allowing Martin sec
ond and the bases were cleared On a
two base hit by Weddege to left.
Hempleman was thrown out by
Thackara and Spratt flew out to
McGinnis. When the ' Champions
came up,- Clayton fanned; Devlin
walked and scored on Warren's sin
gle and McGinnis' beautiful two base
bit Warren was on third with one
man down. Allen hit to second and
"Wallie" died at the plate; Frost flew
tofirat -
The run-getting machine slipped a
cog and no mora business was done
until the fiftb iuuiu hu the locals
by bunchiag hits and taking advan
tage of error piled up a total of four
runs. Thackara hit double and
Turner, Wilmington's new fielder,
followed it up with another, scoring
Thackara. Ragan struck out. and
Clayton hit double and went to third
onMartin error, scoring Turner.
Devlin singled 'andCIaytoBsowSsdJ
Warren: fouled to catcher, and Mc
Ginnis hit to right and Martin's fum
ble went to third and Devlin scored?
Allen was' out, second" to first and the
Grand Old Centre Felder, as is cus
tomary, was left on third.
' It looked at least like a tied score in '
the ninth, but the Tartars couldn't
quite span the chasm between five and
two runs, although they got the run
ner that would have tied the score as
far as the third base. Bush drew four
balls and Martin was out, second to
first; Pulsifier got free transportation
to the initial bag and Kemmer, next
up, had been given three balls when
Capt. "Tacks" Allen determined to
put as end to the fireworks and Ragan
was replaced by Hopkins Kemmer
hit double, however, scoring Bush and
Pulsifer." Kemmer stole third and
Weddige and Spratt were out from the
infield. The victory wss won by the

Beauties, Atz, Stanley and Smith, are
all three with the Loggerheads.
Turner, who has been engaged
temporarily by Manager Oowan, played
yesterday and made a twe-base hit.
He is a good catcher, batter and out
fielder. He accompanied the team to
Raleigh, . ,

Slagle . stood the bumps and
thumps of the Giants until the sixth
inning. Then Manager Bryan touched
a spring and the "Jack in the box"
jumped but. Bush jumped In; but five
runs "in the hand" proved to be "worth
two in tbe Bush."
The Dear Departed of the N. and
sO. is hot on arithmetic. He said, yes
terday : "Only two hundred per cent,
ahead of the Lobsters is the Red Birds'
record this A. M." As Wilmington
was 419, two hundred per cent, more
for the Turtles would give them 1,257
Instead of 633.
Screams the Funeral Director of
the Mourning Post : "The poor old Lob
sters have fallen down three limes
before the Red' Birds." Well, please
let us know, in strict confidence, how
many times the "poor old" Logger
head Turtles fell down before the
Hornets at Charlotte.

TDE SUPERIOR COURT
1 he Two Capital Cases
for the
Term Were Called Dur
: - r - ing Yesterday;
SANITY OF EDWARD WILLIS.
Attorneys for Negro Charged With Arson
Sobmltted a Plea of Insanity Motion' -j
for Contlnoance as to Wallace
or SnbmlssioD, 2nd Degree. V ;
. - The Superior Court yesterday was
engaged for a part of the day with
two of - the most .important cases on
with murder, and EdV Willis, charged
with arson. -The latter was in hearing
as to the sanity of the defendant when
the court adjourned for the day at 6
o'clock last evening, and the Wallace
case is open on a conditional motion for
continuance until next term.Tbe grand
jury also made marked progress dur
ing the day and will finish the business
of the term on Friday. It adjourned
last evening to assemble this morning
and go out in carriages to the County
Home and convict. camp at Castle
Haynes. When this Is completed it
will -met Friday morning in regular
session and most probably adjourn for
the term.
The motion in the Wallace case in
which the defendant is charged 'with
the murder of Will. Dudley was lodg
ed in the morning by Jno. H. Gore, Jr.,
and Robert Ruark, E&qs , who appear
as counsel for Wallace by appoint
ment of the court. It is for contin
uance until next term to allow tbe
attorneys opportunity for a prep
aration of their case. The motion is
contingent upon another to allow the
defendant to submit to murder in the
second degree, which Solicitor Duffy,
now has under advisement. He said
yesterday evening that he was unde
cided as to the matter but was rather
inclined from the evidence in hand to
urge a verdict in the first degree.
The case of Ed Willis for arson con
sumed the entire afternoon session of
the court and will likely require a
greater part of to-day. C. D. Weeks
and Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Esqs., ap
pear for the defendant and Solicitor
Duffy is assisted in the prosecution by
E. M. Koonce, Esq., Jacksonville.
The evidence thus far has been entire-'
ly along the line of defendant's sanity
or insanity and the crime' with which
he is charged ' has not yet been
entered into. . Four witnesses for
the defence were examined yester
day and there are yet fifteen or twenty
to b3 heard,4 nine of whom are for the
8tate. In the meantime Drs. C. D.
Bell and AHHarrUs&- havat been re
quested to mike an. examination of tbe
defendant Willis, who is a paralytic
and said to be subject to epileptic fits.
As he was placed in the prisoners' box
in the court room yesterday afternoon,
heu toppled . from his seat and ap-
peared to suffer from a very violent
attack of epilepsy. 'He soon recovered,
however, and the trial was entered
upon.
The witnesses examined were Hester
Brown; mother of. the defendant, D.
W, Teachey, Rev. Jacob Onslow,
Ashley Fleming; all colored, and Dr.
A. H Harriss. who was on the stand
when a recess was taken.
Stab readers will remember that the
charge upon which Willis is held is
the burning of a colored woman's
house in "Brooklyn" several months
ago. He was held at the instance of
Chief Schnibben, who found him at the
scene apparently in wild glee over his
crime!
Of the talesmen summoned for the

J. F. Jarman, J. O. Brock. W. H.
Memtt. A. Bos well, Jas. W. Jack
