Springer-Sc Co. will remove to larger and more eligible quarters for the coal trade, and the D. L. Gore Company ' will occupy the present site of the Springer coal yards with . large and commodious ware houses for the company's heavy grocery storage. Messrs. Springer & Co. have leased for a term of years from Mr. D. L. Gore the London wharf property, just north of the foot of Ohesnut street, and will materially enlarge and im prove their coal and wood plant, mak ing it twice as large as any institution of its kind in the State.. The London wharf is nearly 200 feet square and nearly twice as large aa the firm's pres ent yards. Upon the new site work will begin within 80 days on the construction of large bins' which will have a storage capacity of 7,000 tons of coal in addition to the present storage arrangements for 4,000 tons for the shlppingltrade at the Carolina Central wharves, which will be re tained. The present capacity of the down-town yards1s only 3,000 tons, and a constantly increasing business made the removal to larger quarters imperative. New machinery will be installed for the handling of coal in tbulk and retail and for sawing and splitting wood. It will be of the most improv ed and modern manufacture, and will make It possible- for the firm to handle fuel with the utmost economy and dispatch. The appliances for dis charging vessels will be the best that can be bought, and will have a capac ity of 250 tons per day. Coast Line tracks wiil extend through the yards, and with the connection with the Sea- borad the firm will have abundant transportation f adlities. Capt Edgar Williams put machin ery to work yesterday driving piles for a brand new wharf, and within SO days work will be commenced on the large bins, so that everything will be in readiness September 1st Time and money will not be spared in making the yards and ' facilities a model in every respect Mr. J. A. Springer, the senior, mem ber of the firm, has been in the coal business for 24 years and thoroughly understands every detail of the trade. For nearly the entire time he has had his yards upon the , present' site, but the demand for larger quarters was mmediate, and that he has secured such a favorable location as the Lon don wharf is indeed fortunate.

It was stated yesterday in Savannah that he would receive this appointment Mr. Lee has been connected with the Plant System for a long while. "The announcement of an assistant treasurer at Savannah means the ful fillment of the view, expressed by the Morning News, that there will be a division of the accounting forces of the Coast Line, one remaining at Wil mington and the other at Savannah. "The question of remaining in Sa vannah or going to Wilmington will be left to the choice of some of the Sa vannah employes of the Plant System. This, for instance, will be true of the rate clerks. A circular will be issued within two or three days, stating that the rate clerks will be permitted to express a choice as between the two places. Efforts will be made to make such a disposition as will be perfectly satisfactory to them." TRUCK GROWERS WILL MEET TODAY. Aaanal Meetiag of East CareUaa Assocla Hob Board of Directors Here.

The struggling locals, seeking to get a foothold after recent and multi plied adversities, ' were robbed of a beautiful game yesterday afternoon, and Ashenback and his men did not have a hand in the robbery. Tis true the visitors got one earned run in the ninth, but had Wilmington enjoyed a fair shake" earlier in the game there would have been one or more runs to ts credit for Charlotte to overcome iff the ninth, and thereby hangs the tale of our misfortune. Mr. Sherman was decidedly off and he has been in that same remote state ever since he came to Wilmington, whether wilful or un- ntentional it is not for ordinary peo ple to judge. Once he wanted to haye something to say to the grand stand, but the grandstand and bleach ers didn't care to hear him.' His mis jadgments robbed the game of much of its charm, but it was nevertheless a beautiful one. On account of the wet diamond, Mr. Eairns, the new pitcher, was reserved until to-day and Krause was on the firing line for the locals, while Brandt the- ex-Wilmington pitcher, did the honors right well for Charlotte. Krause was in good form and barring one wild throw to.first.he pitched per fect ball. The first run for the Hornets came on a pass to Brouthers, a steal to sec ond and a "punke" decision very "punke" allowing Brouthers third. Cooper singled to left scoring the run ner, while Lehman was hit by a batted ball, and Brandt popped a foul fly to Fiaher. v In the third inning O'Neill was called out at first on a muffled ball by Armstrong, and it was such an error of judgment by Mr. J. Sherman that Charlotte's big first baseman even laughed at. the decision. Holland, next up, walked and Krause got a nice single, while McGlnnlas flew to left If Wilmington had the bases f ull as she was entitled, there would have been a score to her credit but not so. In the sixth Weaver, for. Charlotte, managed to get four balls 'and Gra ham got life on Erause's wild throw to first Armstrong hit to short al lowing Weaver to score. CSteen was out second to first and Brouthers fanned. The only earned run of the game was in the ninth, when Armstrong and CSteen had gone out to the in field, Brouthers sent a three base hit way down in left and came home oh Ashenback's single to left The score follows: THE SCORE BY UTrOHGB. 1234 5 0789 RHB Charlotte. 01000100 13 6 1 Wilmington.. . .0 0000000 00 3 3 Batteries: -Brandt and .

In a closely contested game the umpire is the whole thing.1 V: The boys played all right ; Must have been feeding on ginger snaps. ; The Newbern Clams whitewashed the Durham Bulla, 3 to 0. "Misery loves company." ' It was a shet-out; but the score would have been different If the um pire had been ahet out : , f : The "rare and radiant maidens'! were out with full ranks. And 'there were others" of the female persuasion. Karns will thrown the hothot for Wilmington to-day and Persona will probably hurl the spheroids for Char lotte. . It is possible President Busbee may authorize the substitution of. Mr. Gwaltney for Mr. Sherman as umpire to-day. That was a lively sprint Karns made to first base. If he keeps up that pace he will become the "Deer foot" of the team. "Roast that umpire," came from a hundred throats yesterdag. But is too small for a roast, though he he might do fern "broiler." A carload of carbolic acid would not have sufficed to disinfect the putrefied decisions of the umpire against the home team. It is a hard . proposition to play against nine Charlotte men, but when a tenth man, with plenary powers, is added it becomes' a roaring farce. Krause pitched a good game. He is only nineteen years and, with a little more experience, he bids fair to become a genuine "boy wonder." The local baseball association met last night, but transacted no busi ness further than a general consulta tion as to the beginning of the new' series July 1st, and arranging for the team to leave to-night for Durham. Interest in the Bachelor-Benedict game Saturday is on the Increase. It will be full of fun and will excel the former effort of these formidable oppo nents.

Atlanta Constitution, 17th. The Fifth Georgia regiment will go into encampment ' at Wrlghtsville Beach, N. C, July 17th to July 27th. At a recent meeting of the regiment Wrightsville Beach was decided upon as the place for this Summer's encamp ment provided the drill ground was sufficient Major Barker was detailed to go to Wrightsville 'and inspect the grounds. He returned to the city yesterday and reports that the grounds are in every way suitable for drilling. The entire regiment with all the officers will attend the encampment Several other companies will go with the Fifth Georgia at this time. The wives of the officers wiil alao at tend the. encampment A very de lightful time is anticipated by the regi ment on the occasion. An objection that was urged against Tybee was the absence of shade trees. The officers considered that it would be better to establish the camp some where where trees would afford shade for the men. There are none on or very near the beach at Tybee. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. ; - Miss Mary Nash is visiting in Tarboro. Mr. Frank E. Turrentine left yesterday for Charleston. .
