Four Club League Commences Its Career With Greensboro and Raleigh in Lead. ASHENBACK IN ATLANTA, OA. He is Try lot to Sell Lour. John Bishop Kirns Now With Ralelxn What Is Belag Said About the Deceased Hornets Other Notes. The North Carolina four-club league commenced its life-yesterday with Newbern playing at Raleigh and Greensboro at Durham. At the latter place a double-header was played and Greensboro captured both games. Only one game was played at Raleigh and the locals won that by a score of 2 to L Ohilds pitched for Raleigh and Bass for Newbern, while ex-Manager Mace umpired. Various comments are flying around the State relative to Ashenbaex and the Charlotte team. The Greensboro Telegram says: "Local baseball cranks do not take any stock in the plea put up by Char lotte that it was too strong for the other members of the league and there fore had to get out. They want to know why the Hornets have been get ting beat so ' much of late 17 they are the strongest in the league. One of the fans said to-day that Charlotte was a quitter from way back, having broken up the league last year and the year Deiore. "Ashenback wired Capt. Kelly last night Will sell Charlotte for $500. Have been offered more. Kelly re sponded quick. Does that include city of Charlotte. Lie down Bruno." From the Greensboro Record comas the following editorial: "Is not that Charlotte crowd a good one. When they won all the time they were all right. When the second series began and Greensboro tanned them twice in one day they were all wrong, and now that they are ihlra on the list they drop out of sight. We had a better opinion of Uharlottes staying powers than this. What Tom Reed said about Manley applied with specific force to that team, to-wit: "Dare" Ash., it seems is trying to barter Bishop off to Atlanta, for the Journal of that city says "Ashenback, the manager of the disbanded Charlotte team, was here yesterday and in conference with Mr. Peter and Manager Pabst last night. Ashenback says that he has a big pitcher whom he may be able to throw to the Pretzels if Manager Pabst de cides that he wants him. Mr. Peter and Manager Pabst both are anxious to add another crack slabman to the team and the chances are that if a sat isfactory agreement can be reached the Charlotte man will be wearing an Atlanta uniform in a few days." The Charlotte Observer, in speaking of the withdrawal of the Hornets from the league says: "The fate of the Hornets was inevit able. Their managers, a fortnight ago, -faced an almost empty grand stand and then stated through this paper that un less the patronage increased Charlotte would be without a team. The warning note was sounded again and again, but without effect. At length the point was reached where the Queen City ceased to be the best ball town in tue Bute ana became, in the matter of gate receipts. the worst. So the decision of the State League officials was forced and must needs be assented to by the local man agement. Charlotte no longer de served a team and the players must go. "The Dlavera on the Charlotte team, or most of them, will be well taken care of. Osteen and Brouthers left last night to join the Birmingham team, and Weaver will go to Birming ham or to Newark, IN. J. Appiegate will join the Newark team, accom panying Devlin, of the Newbern team. Persons will probably join the Shreve- port. La., team, and practically aiiine other men are considering good offers." Deerfoot Karns, who has many friends here, has signed with the Ra leigh team. The official umpires of the league are now Mace and Boucher, both ex Wilmington players. Dolan has been dropped, but he Is to be given a trial as second baseman with the Durham team.

Captsia Hsrper Last Nifht Did a Very Gracious sod Cbsrminr Act, Which Was Qrestly Appreclsted. One of the most gracious and at the same time enjoyable events that has ever graced Wilmington's social his tory was a trip down the river last night, given by Capt. Jno. W. Harper In compliment to the employes of the Greater Atlantic Coast Line in this city. The trip was made In Captain Harper's elegant excursion boat, the steamer Wilmington, and was attend ed by about two hundred of the Coast Line's clever employes, accompanied by fully as many of their charming lady friends. The trip embraced a de lightful run of over three hours on the river, and was greatly enlivened by music furnished by Prof. V. Cam mariero'a Italian string band. While on the way a committee ap pointed by the appreciative guests presented to the genial, thoughtful Capt. Harper the following letter: Capt. J. W. Habpeb, steamer Wilmington." Dear Sir: We. the undersigned committee, representing the General Office employes of the Atlantic Coast Line, beg leave to ex press in their behalf our thanks for your very generous consideration in extending to them the courtesy of this complimentary trip on the river. It Is needless to assure you that the ride has been thoroughly enjoyed by all who, availed themselves of your hos pitality and we will always remember your thankful act with feelings of grateful appreciation. Very truly yours, J. T. King, J. P. Russell, W. O. YABBOROUCtH, Committee. A NEW LIGHT. Acetyleae Oss Plsst to Be Isstslled Here sod Others to Follow. The newest thing in shape of light for Wilmington is the acetylene gas,' the product of the Aurora Acetylene Company, of Chattanooga, Tenn. The representative of the company, Mr. Thos. E. Veal, has been JLn the city the past two days and during that time he has installed a plant at the Atlantic Cafe, Messrs. Gieschen Bros., corner Front and Bed Cross streets. Last night the plant was put in operation and the manner in which the large building was lit up by the acetylene gas waa both remarkable and attrac tive. The -plant for making the gas consists solely of a large galvanized iron generator, which is filled with water. It has a carbide chamber in the center of the tank and the gas Is generated alone from the carbide and water. The generation only takes places as the gas is wanted for use and works automatically ; consequently there is no storage of gas. At the Atlantic Cafe the regular gas pipes have baen utilized and fixed with the acetylene burners, which are of SS candle power, though they can be obtained of much larger capacity. The coat of each burner is said to be less than a half a cent per hour. Perhaps the most wonderful feature is the fact that the flame ia so very small to have such a powerful light ing power. It is really diminutive. but gives a steady, strong light and can't possibly be made to smoke. It is said that the carbide only differs from common building lime in that it is calcium carbide instead of calcium oride. There are no mantles about its burners, only the naked flame. To-day Mr. Veal will install a plant at the residence of Dr. Dreher on Princess street, berore going to Chad bourn to install one there. Messrs. W. L. Latta and O. O. Brown have been appointed the agents here' for the light and have already several contracts on hand. Officers Installed Last ISIrht. District Deputy B. W. Dunham, G. M., assisted by Past Grands E. F.

Alderman Johnson, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, says the street force is ready to begin the im provement work and will well handle the amount of rock contracted for. The street work is te bs pushed -as rapidly as possible, yet time sufficient will be taken to make it be done in a thorough manner.

All these streets will be '-repaired in precisely the order named and it will take about three months to complete the work. f As soon as all the streets mentioned are put in good shape it is on the pro gramme to fix up Fifth and Seventh streets from Castle to Dawson, so as to make a substantial roadway to the fire pugs. This will be a step well taken and greatly needed. The new curbing on Bed Cross street is now almost entirely laid and is a decided improvement Freifht Claim Men Comlor.

Yesterday afternoon's Florence Times says: "A serious wreck occur red on the Atlantic Coast Line at Hil da, near, Barnwell, yesterday after noon late' in which George Lowering. a colored train hand, was killed and Engineer Uannady slightly hurt. "The wrecking train and crew from the Florence shops were hurriedly sent, to the scene last night. They have not returned yet, and full par ticulars of the wreck are unobtaina ble. "Two 'extra' freight trains were in the wreck, which resulted not only in the loss of one life and the injuring of a good engineer, but also in great damage to the railroad property.

This part of the plan was success ful to-night, but fortunately the door possessed a top bolt, which upset all calculations and prevented an entrance being made. The burglars then gave it up as ft "bad job" and departed. The hole was large enough for the passage of a hand and arm and was cut through the lower panel. The door was unlocked in this manner.
