Wilinlattoi Team Strladed la Raleigh
WHaoat a Dollar Aa Oatraze

tory of Baseball. ,
. Special Star Telegram.
BALKiaH, N. C.j Aug. 24. Raleigh
to-night produced another card from
upaher sleeve, and though not a trump,
it was sufficient to break up the pen
nan games. j
At the .late houirof 6 o'clock this
afternoon Raleigh came to the front
and demanded thatWilmington remain
over Monday, in the face of a con
tract with Newborn for that day, and
play the two games of the five sched
uled for Raleigh I that had not been
played. To this the manager of the
Wilmington term demurred and de manded
that the contract be lived up
to, especially aa faith should be kept
with the folks of; Newborn. He ad
mitted that the agreement was for the
first five games to be played in Ra
leigh but not at the expense of .dates
next week, when the v Wilmington
team could return according to all
baseball schedules and play the two
deferred games later. This would
place Raleigh at no extra expense
and by so. doing they would live
up to their agreement. Raleigh then
called a special meeting of the direc
tors and meanwhile flatly refused to
make a settlement for the games
played and guaranteed, although the
money was due land in part worked
for by the Wilmington team. They
were unmindful of the fact that the
visitors were here ready to play and
were entitled to the money. After the
directors' meeting, Wilmington was
flatly refused the guarantee. Manager
Cowan and Mr. Newman, of the team,
then asked that they be allowed half
of the money realized Sn the games.
This was also refused and the directors
leave the Wilmington team stranded
without one red copper cent.
Their idea was to force the team to
play in Raleigh Monday; if not, then
they would keep; the money the Wil
mington' team had earned, besides
paying railroad f are and board. .
About 12 o'clock last night the
Stab telegraphed Its correspondent at
m sue.- at ooutnport. o.oa. bl i t-.;.i. v-. :; ia
iOreei
ade of the Wilmington team. The
ram was delivered, but no answer
was received. It is supposed the office
closed before the reply could be pre
pared. Presumably, the team would
come home to-day ; bat the action of,
the Raledch Baseball Association has
eft the men without a'dollar for trans
portation or board bills?
The action of the Raleigh Base
ball Association was received too late
last nieht for extended comment.
But, really, does it need any? Is it not
a parallel case to that of the Richmond
Association when it refused to pay the
guarantee to Charlotte and which was
so severely denounced in Raleigh? -
New Cape Pear Light Station.
Work on the new Cape Fear light
station on Bald Head Island is pro

Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 24. Rain
only permitted one game to day, and
that one was played among slush and
red mud. For an hour: before the ap
pointed time for the first game it rain
ed hard and , only let up- about 3:15
o'clock for . the-; game to be called.
After about three Innings' were played
rain again set in and . continued
throughout the contest Both the Tur
tles and the Giants romped savagely
around in the mud, and it looked at
one time as if the latter would beat
the former at their own game. How
ever, in the fifth inning a soaked ball
got the best of Stewart and the Tur
tles bunched hits, which, with an in
troductory miserable error by War
ren at third, settled the fateful four
runs. This settled the result. :

MARRIED YESTERDAY.
Miss Mary Lilly Kenan Became
the Bride of Mr. Henry
Morrison Flagler.
QUIET BUT VERY ELABORATE.
It Took Place at Kensasville in the Pres.
ence'of Osly Relstives and Intimate
Friends Left for Bridal Tour
North on Special Train, f
The marriage of Miss Mary Lily
Kenan, daughter of Capt and Mrs.
W. R. Kenan, of this city, to Mr.
Henry Morrison Flagler, the well
known Florida " capitalist railroad
owner and Standard Oil magnate, took
place yesterday morning at 10:30
o'clock at the--Id Kenan homestead,
Kenansville, N. C, in the presence of
a few intimate friends of the bride and
groom and members of the immediate
Kenan family.
Prior to the wedding no facts were
given, out for publication, noe even
the essential points to an authoritative
announcement of the -forthcoming
event, and the general . impression
prevailed that the ceremony would be
performed at noon, but such was not
the case, as indicated above.
Mr. Flagler, accompanied by his at
torney, Mr. Ashley, of New York,
spent Friday night in the city, the
guest of Mr. W. A. Dick, and yester
day morning at 7 o'clock, with Mr.
Ashley and a number of his friends
from Wilmington, Mr. Flagler left on
his private car for Warsaw, N. C ,
from which point members of the
party went over to Kenansville by
private conveyance. The party on
the special train consisted of Mr.
Flagler and his attorney, Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Dick, Capt and Mrs. E..
W. Van C. Lucas and Miss Hannah
Bolles. In a separate coach were
members of Hollo wbush's Orchestra,
who went to furnish music for the
event. The train consisted of an
engine, one combination baggage and
passenger coach and Mr. Flagler' car.
It was in charge of Capt Jno. Walker,
the veteran A. C. L. conductor, and
the distance of fifty-five miles between
Wilmington, and Warsaw, was tra-.
versed in exactly sixty minutes. .
Of course, at the splendid Kenan
home, where the ceremony occurred
there were'iother guests. The bride,,
accompanied by her -father, a sister,
Miss Sarah Kenan, and brother, Mr.
W. R. Kenan, Jr., went up to KenanB
ville Friday morning and Mrs. Kenan,
the bride's mother, and another sister,
Mm. J. Clisby Wise of Macon, Ga ,
have been at the home for several
days. . Mr. Henry Walters arrived at
Warsaw in-his private car yesterday
morning, and Rev. Dr. Peyton H.
Hoge, the officiating clergyman, ar
rived Friday evening.
The old home of the Kenan 'family,
where the ceremony was performed,
was beam ti fully decorated with bam
boo and a wealth of white roses, artis
tically arranged by Mr. O. F. W.
Rehder, the well known local florist
Except to invited guests and the
number of these was very limited
there was ho admission to the home
during the ceremony, and press rep
resentatives were given only the sim
ple announcement of the marriage
after it had occurred. The wedding
breakfast, was served at 11 o'clock,
immediately after the ceremony by
Dr. Hoge, Miss Kenan's former pas
tor, and Mr. and Mrs. Flagler left at
once in a carriage for Warsaw, where
they boarded Mr. Flagler's car, att
tached to -another special: train,
which connected with the : through
train for the North at Rocky Mount
last night The bride and groom will
go at once to Mamaroneck, N. Y., and
spend some time at Mr. Flagler's pala
tial residence there..
The ceremony proper is said to have
been very simple but exquisitely beau
tiful. The wedding marches were
softly played by Hollo wbush's Orches
tra and the ceremony was spoken with
much feeling and - impressiyeness by
Dr. Hoge. r The groom was attired in
a handsome black Prince Albert coat
with light 'trousers. The bride was
dressed in a becoming gown of white
and was very beautiful. She carried
an exquisite bouquet of carnations and
her jewels were costly and brilliant "
Fabulous stories of. gifts to the
bride and to wedding guests by the
groom have been circulated, but it is
believed that none of them is authen
tic. One of the stories has .it that the
bride was presented with a certified
check for a million dollars and two
million dollars in government bonds.
The wedding gifts are said, however,
to have been costly and very numer
ous. Hundreds of telegrams of con
gratulations were received, and even
after the car left Warsaw others were
received and foswarded. .
