The Tnbercnlin Test
Milk consumers should attach con-
si ierable importance to the cards of
several of the local dairies which may
be found elsewhere in to-day's paper.
Etch of the proprietors of these dairies
have had applied to their herds the
tuberculin test by Dr. Thos. B. Car
roll, the well known and reliable vet
erinary surgeon, and those who un
derstand the nature of tuberculosis
among cattle need not be reminded of
the importance of such tests. The milk
is guaranteed to be absolutely pure
and free from all objectionable matter.

VIRGINIA'S SECOND VICTORY.

All Over Carolina Prospects
for Good Season of Bail.
Edgar Bear's pets are arriving. -The
vanguard of the men who are to
do battle for Wilmington on the base
ball diamond thin season got here yes
terday morning and are in fine shape
for the heavy practices that j will be
their lot this and next week. Those
who arrived yesterday were McOann,
tbe crack Baltimore pitcher, and Ed.
Lattin, who will loos out for the third
base territory. Capt Arthur Henry
has been here for a week and j has be
come acquainted with the people and
the place. He will take the men in
charge to-morrow morning and put
them down to the kind of work that
will fit them for the nine games that
the local fans are to have as a "starter,"
beginning May 5th. McOann and
Lattin are at the Fulton House, which
will be headquarters for the team
when it is at home.
Ed McGinnis, that "Grand Old
Centre Fielder," telegraphed that he
couldn't get here yesterday but that he
would come to-day. Similar tele
grams were received from Vellenue
and others, so that Manager Bear will
want to know the reason why if they
are not all in by to-morrow night.
The Stab again takes occasion to
commend Manager Bear for his untir
ing efforts, which have been entirely
personal, to get up the team and place
it in the field. He has done the work
alone thus far, has asked and re
ceived no assistance, except in a small
financial way, and certainly deserves
to s cceed with his enterprise.
Notes Prom tbe League.
"Oy" Vorheea, who was with Wil
mington last year, pitched for Phil
adelphia against New York in the lat
ter city yesterday and won his game
in a score of 6 to 5. He pitched before
12,000 people.
Soffle, of last year's Richmond team.
and Gus Pastor, of New York, who
was badly wanted in this league last
year, have signed with Raleigh.
'Jack" Frost will not be with New-
bern this year, so the Journal says.
No reason is given.
In speaking of the Virginia-Carolina
game at Chapel Hill Friday the Ra
leigh News and Observer, says:
"Sweeney, for Carolina, was the
hero of the day. With one man on
third, one at second and two out
taring Carolina In the eyes he "wil
fully" swatted tbe ball where the
Virginians couldn't reach it and thus
scored two men. -Again, with three
men on bases, no outs, Sweeney settled
down handsome twirled the leather
and allowed tbe Virginians to retire in
one, two, three order. He pitched the
game of his life, and had he been given
proper support in the tenth inning tbe
struggle would have resulted in win
ning the game for Carolina.
Virginia Won Again from Carolina.
Raleigh. N. C. April 19. Virginia
won the second game from Carolina
this afternoon in a slow, tiresome con
test, the score having been 9 to 7 in
eight innings.
The attendance was twelve hundred
and the weather ideal. A late start
necessitated a call of the game on ac
count of darkness. Virginia won by
timely hitting and superior base run
ning. Both teams made nearly tbe
same number of base hits and Virginia
three .more errors than Carolina.
Both batteries did good work. Caro
lina played good ball until the fifth
inning, when ahe went to pieces,
allowing Virginia to make three runs
after two men were down. The rest
of the game was easy for Virginia.

CHAT ABOUT THE ALDERMEfi.
Resignation May Be Withdrawn and Others
May Not Be Allowed.
The resignation fever did not abide
long with the Aldermen, and already
there is talk of withdrawals and non-
acceptances. At a caucus of the Board
Friday night it is learned that it was
agreed not to accept the resignation of
Mr. Harriss. of the Third Ward, and
tbat strong pressure should be brought
to bear upon htm to withdraw his res
ignation. It was also learned that Mr.
arker had decided not to resign and
would continue his connection with
the city. It is believed that as a lesult
of an adjustment of several little mat
ters tbat Mr. Harriss will ultimately
consent to "take down" his resigna
tion and remain by the "old ship of
Bute."
Many of Mr. Maunder's friends have
also brought strong pressure to bear
upon him to remain on the Board, but
it is believed he will be unmoved in
his determination to get "down and
out."
PROGRESS OF STREET WORK.
Rock Quarry Shat Down Yesterday Fifth
Wnrd Improvements.
All work at the city rock quarry
ceased yesterday noon in pursuance
of the order recently issued by the
Board of Audit and Finance that no
more bills would be paid until a new
appropriation is made. The 25 men
employed at the quarry were discharg
ed and the force disorganized. Three
men will, however, be retained upon
the grounds to see that the pumps are
kept going and the shafts not flooded.
Superintendent Woolard with hia
regular force of men has completed
the work on Fifth between Church
and Castle streets and is now at work
on Castle between Fifth and 8eventh.
The latter work will be completed
within a week, if there is no interrup
tion and it is hoped there will be
none. -

An important meeting of Cape Fear
Chapter, Daughters of the Confeder
acy, was held yesterday afternoon at

THE SCHEDULE OF
TRAINS.
Fruit Growers' Express Has Made Ample
Provision for Successful, Business.
"Empties" Piling Up All Along
the Line Other Notes.
A station to station canvass up the
Wilmington and Weldon, down the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
and up the Atlantic and Yadkin rail
roads is not required now to convince
the individual of ordinary intelligence
tbat everything is being placed in
readiness for one of the I biggest sea
son's business In the history of the
.strawberry and vegetable industry in
this famous section of Eastern North
Carolina. I
Solicitors from the largest commis
sion houses North are pouring into the
territory and hotels and boarding
houses all along the lino are chock-a-block
with guests, who are on the
lookout for early express sbinments
and larger ones that will follow by re
frigerator service not later than May
1st.
The Fruit Growers Express, which
has charge of the refrigerator trans
portation throughout this section, has
all the spare A. C. L. trackage in the
vicinity of Wilmington piled up with
empties besides the various aide tracks
at stations throughout the! strawberry
region. The icing stations are also
being provided with all ( necessaries
for an extremely heavy business and
and it only remains for a few days of
warm sunshine to put the "ball in
motion."
With an eys single to serving ship
pers and the public generally, TheCaro-
lina Fruit and Truck Grotoers' Jour
nal has condensed the strawberry and
vegetable train schedules into as small
space as possible and states that the
appended table will be the schedules
this season of trains No. 80, otherwise
known as the Cannon Ball, and Not
18, better known at the Pick-Up train.
No. 80 will leave Wilmington at 8:40
A. M. and No. 18 at 10:30 A.M. Noi.
80 will take on solid ears loaded with
300 crates for all points, and cars for
ttanaio, iriiisourg, uieveiana, uoiutu
bus, Toledo, Albany, Rochester, Monl
treal, Toronto, Syracuse, (Jtica, Hori-
nillsville, Elmira, Wheeling, Detroit,
Erie and Scranton, loaded with 200
crates that is, any cars loaded for
theae points with 200 crates, will get
the benefit of the movement on the
Cannon Ball train each day. j
The following schedule for these
two trains haa been arranged:

Shipments bv through train No. 80
and better known as the Cannon Ball
should reach the market one day ear
lier than shipments by tbe nek-up
train No. 18. I
Theae schedules will give three
hours and thirty-five minutes with
which to re-ice. classify, make up
trains and leave South Rocky Mount
on schedule time for the Northern
markets each day. Should there
be two or more sections of this train
and the time required to move the first
section does not aosoro tne tnree
hours and thirty-nve minutes, it win
be run out ahead of time, i Likewise
the other sections. This will put these
trains to Quantico, the Southern-termi
nus of the Pennsylvania , uauroaa
promptly, and barring accidents, make
the markets H or in, uast ana west on
time and not just any old time either
as has been the case sometimes in the
oast The causa for these vexatious
delays In the past has been ferreted out
and it is therefore up to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company to provide a
remedy for tne evil of tne delayed
trains.
The Cannon Ball train got in its
work laat season and the railroad offl
clals are determined to improve this
ear over last season's record. In this
connection it might bewail to note,
that any ahipper who la loading a car
after the solid car train haa passed hia
station, can hold this car over until
the next day and finish in time for the
solid car train, thereby making the
same market that he would have made
had he let the less than car load go
forward the day before.
The Pick-Up train will be run in
two sections when the business gets
heavy enough to justify it That is
to say, one train will start from Wil
mington at 10 or 10:30 A. M. and ran
to Rose Hill. After finishing at Rose
Hillit will go straight through to
8outh Rocky Mount The other train
will start from Masrnolia or Warsaw
at about the same hour and finish up
the road, arriving? at South Rocky
Mount about midnight . These trains
will be handled, re-iced, etc., in soutn
Rockv Mount tha following morning
and run out as extras. Thin will giro
them amnla timn In which to make
the connections and be on the markets
- i '
in guoa tune, ,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
Einy, with which the Atlantic Coast
ine forms its northern connection
at Quantico, has no train from Balti
more on Sundays upon which berries
or other perishable freight can be for
warded for pmnts on or reached via
the Northern Central Railway. Owing
to this tact shipments of berries for
warded on Pick-Up Train No. 18 on
Fridavs and shipments forwai ded on
Through Train No. 80 on Saturdays
for a number of jooints, which are
reached via the Northern Central
Railway, will be delayed 24 hours.
Regarding tbe Sautbern Express
train schedules, Mr. W. J. Crosswell,
division superintendent advises the
Journal that as soon as the volume of
business will justify it tbe Southern
Express Company will nut on its spe
cial train, leaving Wilmington about
8:10 A. M., stopping at all points
where there is any business offered.
The first express train went out last
year on the 27th, but it is expected
tbat tbe backward season will make it
two or three days or a week later this
year. Mr. Crosswell further says
that the Southern Express will give
the best service possible, and. as an
evidence of this fact, they will put on
through messengers from Charleston,
U.. and Wilmington. N. C. to
Philadelphia and Jersey City; whose
duties will be to look after and guard
the welfare of the fruit in transit
