WIND AND RAIN STORM PREVAILED YESTERDAY. The Elements Looked Angry and Some Uttle Damage Was Done At the Beaches aid at Sen. The storm predicted by the Weather Bureau Sunday came on full time during the early hours of yesterday morning; and the wind and rain was fierce. The maximum velocity at tained waa 25 miles, but trusts came along that must have reached nearly twice that rate. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock there was another hard blow, accompanied by rain, but it was the last reminder of the storm that had passed up the coast, At the beaches the Telocity of the wind was terrific, but it caused no alarm and did not the slightest dam age. Capt Farr, of the schooner O. M. Brainerd, from New York, came over the bar about 6 A. M. and says the blow; waa hard on the outside. He lost his yawl boat in getting: over into the harbor. In the city a few branches were torn from trees, but the only real damage reported waa from the plant of the Hilton Lumber Co., near the park. Two tall aheet iron smokestacks were blown down and a part of the roof over the planing mill was torn off. The damage, however, will be quickly ! repaired, but it will be at a cost of per haps several hundred dollars. LOCAL DOTS. For othpr local see fourth page.

Parrott and CapL F. M. Hadley, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga., line officera of the Fifth Georgia Regiment, arrived in the city Sunday and went down to Wrightsville beach to inspect proposed sites for the annual encampment of their regiment in July. They returned home yesterday afternoon very much pleased with the outlook here and have definitely decided to recommend "the hammocks" as a suitable place for the outing.

His name is Jesse Beatty and when he was sentenced to the roads for SO days for an assault upon Rufus Davis, colored, Saturday night, he arose from the prisoner's box and dealt his prosecutor two furious blows under the jaw before the Mayor and court officers could re cover themselves from the unexpected manifestation of the negro's audacity. The Mayor added a $50 fine or SO days more - on the roads for contempt of court and the officers hustled the prisoner down' stairs and into a cell. Beatty was arrested by Policeman M. Jones near Davis' stables, where he was employed. He waa walking witlri some negro women, when he says Davis came and peered into their eyes, whereupon he struck him for his im pudence. Silas McGee, colored, arrested Sat urday night by Policeman Frank George for disorderly conduct, and J no. Atkinson, colored, arrested Sun day morning at foot of Ohesnut street by Policeman Holt, were each found with a deadly weapon upon their per sons and were bound over to tne higher court.

No. 308 Nun street, y ester-' day afternoon at 3:45 o'clock, after a aerioua illness of more than a week. The death of Mrs. Outlar had been expected for several days, but the news of her passing away will cause a very sad blow to hundreds who have anxiously inquired of her condition from hour to hour. She was a lady of sweet, gentle disposition and was loved and admired in a wide circle of friends attracted to her by her charming personality and noble Chris tian character. Her husband, a few friends and a devoted mother, Mrs. Carter, were at her bedside when she breathed her last Mr. Louis Outlar, brother of Mr. DuBrutz Outlar, waa also with the family in their hour of sorrow, having arrived a few hours before from Marion, N.

The tall and arrogant John Bishop, the star sting driver of the Hornets, was pitted against Sweeney and those were terrible odds. The first two men who faced Swee neyWeaver and Graham fanned the ozone and big "Red" Armstrong could get the leather no further than second, whence it went in short order to"Billie" Dommel before the big fellow could connect with the initial cushion. Wilmington had s beautiful chance to score in its half of the first, but fail ed. Holland flew out to right and McGinnis drew a pass. Dommel flew to left and Lawson got life on error of second. Deiters drew a pass filling the bases but Kalrna ended the hope by flying to short Sweeney pitched but three balls to retire the Cbarlotteans in the second and Wil mington went down in its order with the exception of an error by Cooper allowing O'Neill life. Cooper, Lehman and Bishop were down in their order in the third and it was the same with Wilmington. In the I fourth Sweeney took a "boombemchute" ride and the visitors piled up four runs on the only five hits of the game. Weaver walked and was sacrificed by Graham. Armstrong singled to left, scoring Weaver and O'Btein hit safely to right Brouthers drove a .'three-bagger between centre and left field and Armstrong and O'Btein crossed the plate. Ashenback singled to left bringing Brouthers in. Cooper fanned; Lehman singled to left but Tall Bishop ended the agony by popping a beautiful one to Lawson. A quick double of Deiters' hit to third allied the effect of Lawson's previous single to left and Kairns fanned for Wilmington in its half of the fatal spasm. There was no more run-getting un til the eighth when Weaver fanned for Charlotte and Graham ran out three strikes to first, when Fisher dropped the bait A passed ball by Fisher al lowed Graham secon and after Arm strong had walked he scored on O'Steen's loner fly out to right . Brou thers fanned. Umpire Sherman was in decidedly poor favor with the spectators. He was not popular when he left here for Newborn last week, and he certainly added nothing to his popularity yes terday. His apparent misjudgments of strikes and balls easily rattled the pitchers. Kairns, the new player, waa in right and accepted several brilliant chances without an error. Hines received a sprain Saturday and was not in the game, but once in a while he appeared on the coach line where he is a past grand.

Umpire, Mr. Sherman. Scorer, . Mr. Belt Kairns for Wilmington and Brandt for Charlotte. The attendance wan large. Let it bs larger still to-day. , A nicked team, captained by V al ter Mclntyre, will leave this afternoon for .three games with Bennensvuie, o. C. "Sammie" Dunn will pitch one of the games. Mathlson and Hines are both dis abled by sprained ankles. Oh ! yes, we'll get one from Char lotte, if the creek don't rise. Mr. Sherman cannot be classed with the experts in umpiring. Ashenback says it Is possible he may pitch an innine or two himself to-day. Herr Von Donder Blitzen Dommel made two of the four hits credited to Wilmington. There was very little snap in the game. Nobody carried a bottle of Ja maica ginger. Honors were easy between Swee ney and Bishop; but neither waa up to his nsual standard. Kairns, the latest addition to the home team, acquitted himself hand somely in right field. Lengthy Jack Bishop is "out of sight at the bat, and so are the balls that he tries to macerate. Give Kairns a cordial -reception to-day. But do not expect too much of him in his first game here. Kairns, Wilmington's new pitch er, will go in the box to-day. Brandt will do the honors for Charlotte. The horse editor will bet twenty cents that Wilmington wins one of the two remaining games with Char lotte. The patent extractor for pulling the stings out of the Hornets slipped a cog; but it is expected to work more satisfactorily to-day. The Hornets made all their hits in the fourth inning, and four of their five runs. The remainder of the game was comparatively quiet Ashenback: says the Wilmington team is just 50 per cent, stronger than when he last met it He pffers his money that the reorganized team will win more games that it will lose. They do say that some of the Charlotte people are "sore" because Ashenback's men have lost a game or two. It is to be hoped not Suppose Charlotte had played in the hard luck that Wilmington has experienced since the season begun! Gee ! Members of the Charlotte team were holding little indignation meet ings on the streets last night at the news that the Charlotte local manage ment was "knockin' " Ash. Wonder if they expect the astute Ed to win 'em all in a lump? So many have expressed a desire to see another game between the Bachelors and Benedicts that prepara tions are on foot for another contest between these formidable kiskidees next (Saturday- afternoon. Manager Ed. Battle is already signing a fast team for the Bachelors. It will be for the benefit of the uniform fund. WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DEAD. Mr. Geo. W.

O. j Knox, of Wilmington, returned Bun- day from a trip through Brunswick county in search of an illicit distillery that was known to exist in the . neigh borhood of Shallotte.
