CASE IN ADMIRALTY.
Coal. Cement and Supply Com
pany Won Against Schooner
Nellie Floyd.
RECESS TAKEN FOR THE TERM
Llbellaat Awarded Danife ia the Sum
Asked For Captain Nlelsoi, Sea
fenced Last Week, Liberated
by Jodie Purnell.
The ease in admiralty entitled the
Coal, Cement and Supply Company
vs. schooner Nellie Floyd, and a cross
libel brought by the owners of the
vessel against the libellant in the pre
ceding action, occupied all the morn
ing session of the Federal Court, and
at 1 P. M. a recess for the term was
taken. The two actions were consoli
dated and a decree ordered by Judge
Purnell in favor of the libellant in the
first proceeding, the Coal, Cement
and Supply Co., which libelled the
schooner for alleged damage in the
sum of $93165 to a cargo of cement
brought here from New York. The
cross libel against the coal company
was for a damage claim of something
over $300. As to that Judge Purnell
held the matter.in abeyance for fur-.
ther consideration.
The Coal, Cement and Supply Co.
was represented at tne bearing oy
Messrs. Empie Sc Empie and Rountree
& Carr, while the interest of the vesw
sel's owners were looked after
by CoL Thomas Evans. The libel
lant introduced Mr. S. P. Adams
as the first witness and rested its case.
Captain Nielson, master of the vessel,
Capt Edgar D. Williams and Mr. W.
N. Harrias were introduced as wit
nesses for the respondent and its case
closed there. In rebuttal the libellant
introduced Messrs. George Harrias
and R. H. Beery, who testified as to
the seaworthiness of the schooner;
Mr. H. L. Fennell, as to the condition
of the cargo, and Wm. EL Howe, Joe
Anderson and John Brown, colored,
as to the condition of the cargo and
the amount of water in the vessel's
hold upon her arrival here. The case
was then argued by Brooke G. Em
pie, Esq., for the libellant and CoL
Thomas Evans for the respondent
As George Rountree, Esq., was about
to address the court for the libellant,
Judge Purnell stated that it was un
necessary to present further argument
as the evidence had convinced him
that while the vessel might have been
staunch and tight as to her hull, she
was unsea worthy aa to her decks and
he would order attorneys for libellant
to draw up a decree to that effect
Just before court took a recess,
Judge Purnell called np the matter of
Capt Nielson, master of the vessel,
who was sentenced last week to a con
finement of 60 days in jail and to pay
a fine of $100 and costs, and stated
that he Would suspend the former
judgment, aa it was apparent that de
fendant in resisting the officer was un
conscious of his acts by temporary
aberration on account of excessive use
of intoxicants. Capt Nielson was at
once liberated from the New Hanover
jail and will leave for his home in
Brooklyn, N. Y.

Not victorious.yet not vanquished.
Paradoxical as this may appear, it is
so, and Wilmington is glad of it. It
means that the locals played the Hor
nets to a stand-still yesterday after
noon, which shows that the Jonah's
hold has been shaken, if not broken.
The "bad weather" made the game a
decided failure financially, but artis
tically it was a success, though not a
brilliant one. However, in spite of
the rain, with which the players had
to be content for the most part four
score or so of the faithful were on
hand to root and root they did with a
regular war-dance variation when the
locals made their startling and very
pleasing finish in the ninth; It wan
true that it took the Giants until the
ninth inning to tie the score, but then
the ninth is just as appropriate a time
as the second or sixth, or it wouldn't
be on the calendar. To "Red" Arm
strong, the Bowery-appearing first
baseman, belongs the credit for an
error which gave Wilmington life and
an equal footing with the; Hornets,
but it was only such of many which
Wilmington has been indulging in to
the advantage of our opponents.
The game opened up with the Hor
nets obtaining a single, but nothing
more, while the locals succeeded iu
landing one. I After Brown j had gone
out from second to first Hutton drew
a pass, McGinnis singled and Dommel
also obtained a pass, thus filling the
cushions. Mathison waa struck by a
pitched ball, forcing Hutton home.
Fisher hit to third, forcing McGinnis
out at the plate, with a double at
first 1 earing Dommel and ; Mathison
on bags. This was Wilmington's
lone score until the ninth, though
almost ieach inning found a local or
two occupying bags, but inibility to
bunt, coupled with fast fielding of the
Hornets, prevented scoring. !
Tne visitors were kept from scoring
until the fifth inning, when, after
Queen had I fanned, Person and
Weaver singled and were brought
home by Osteon's two-bagger to right
The next inning, after two were out
Lehman singled to center,! went to
second on McGinnis' error, j to third
on account of ball hitting umpire, and
then home on Queen's single to cen
ter. Still another run did they add
in the seventh. Armstrong's fly to
left was missed by ! Hutton,
and later "Red" crossed the rubber on
a fly to deep! center. Yet another
but the fifth and last did they chalk up
in the ninth. It t was brought about
by two successive two-baggers by
Weaver and Armstrong.
With the score five to one agin' 'em,
the locals commenced the ninth badly,
but heroically McCann fanned and our
bslow-par stock fell another point
Dunn, who had to be substituted for
Brown on account of the second base
man's having I been disabled, drew a
pass and a moment later went to sec
ond on Hutton's single to center.
McGinnis hit to Osteen at short and
Hutton was forced out at -second.
Hempleman then threw for the third
out and a double for McGinnis at first,
but "Red" Armstrong, too confident
of an "easy one," dropped the ball.
Thus was the condition of affairs, with
two men out two men on base and
four runa needed for a tie score, when
Dommell stepped up and singled to
center, scoring Dunn. Mathison next
laced a two-bagger to right, scoring
cGinnis. Fisher then singled to left
and Dommel and Mathison tagged the
pan, and thua was the score tied and
the day saved. Lattin was hit by
pitched ball, but Watson retired the
side on an out from box to first
At this stage of the proceedings Um
pire Mace was: compelled to call the
game in order to give both teams time
to catch the 7 o'clock north-bound
train. The score:
