The bleachers and grand stand rang wltn the shouts of the faithful and league days of the past were vividly recalled It la good to know that the gate re ceipts were fine and that those who entered the grounds without taking advantage of the grand stand, for which only a fixed charge can be made, "chipped in" freely toward the encouragement of the sport. Had the conditions of the grounds been bet ter, no doubt the second game would have been & faster article, but as 1 was the public has no.klck. The first game at 3 o'clock was be tween the Seventh Street Rattlers and the Monarchs, the score having been two to one In favor of the first named. The game was fast and snap py, showing spendid team work. .The Rattlers sent a man across the plate in the second inning but after that there was no more run-getting untl the last inning.

'Celebrated Kirschbauni ' Custom- made Clothing at .Render'.: AFFIDAVITS PRESENTED Manager of Postal Telegraph Com pany Presents Sworn Testimony .In Superior Court as to His Alleged Contempt. A number of afflda-vlts were present ed yesterday to Judge Long in the Superior Court in the matter of the bench warrant served Friday on Mr. J. T. North, manager of the Postal Telegraph Company in this city, cit ing him to appear and show cause why he should not be attached for contempt In obstructing the process of the court. The affidavits were filed by Hon. John D. Bellamy, counsel for Mr. North, and present a decidedly favorable view of the case for his cli ent. The hearing was set for yester day moring but the court was so en grossed with -the hearing of the Meier damage suit . that a continuance of the full hearing was ordered until to morrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. The affidavits are from Mr. North who disclaims any contempt of the court and says that he did not inter fere with the officer In serving the summons upon the telegrapher in his employ: that he heard the officer sum mons Mr. Wood and simply asked Mr. Wood to try to get excused; that the officer got mad and told him he had no business "butting In;" that the affi ant told witnesses that It was a very busy time when monthly reports, etc., should be gotten In and that to try to get off If he could; that the officer got mad and said that he had been treated discourteously at the Atlantic Coast Line and he was not going to stand any more of It. Mr. H. C.Sulli van, another operator in the Postal office, corroborates Mr. North in the affidavit and says that the officer was not interferred with in the discharge of his duties; that Mr. North's conver sation was directed to Mr. Wood, from vhom still another affidavit is pre sented, giving the same version. John Burriss and Morris Anderson made affidavits to the same effect Deputy Cox denies the allegations In these affidavits and has had wit nesses summoned to prove statements by Mr. Wood made after the affair arid alleged to be at variance with the affidavit of Mr. Wood In this re spect Mr. Cox has also summoned a number of character witnesses, so that the hearing Monday morning promises to be quite interesting. MAYOR'S COURT YESTERDAY Disorderly Negress Pays $50 Fine. . Six Go To Roads. Mayor Springer held a court of un usual interest yesterday. Rena . Da vis a negro woman of in repute, was charged with keeping a disorderly house on Second street, between Mar ket and Dock. Several complaints' had been made at police headquarters about the place, and last night Offi cers Appleberry and Hugglns made a raid on it with the result that the Davis woman and six men were ar rested. The ' woman was fined 50 and the costs. The men, Jas. Sonders, Ben GIbbs. Lewis Washington, Frank Jones, Richard King and Wesley San der, were all sent to the county farm for 30 days. Amelia Bradley and Carrie Stewart, colored, charged with disorderly con duct were given 30 days on the coun ty farm. Koomey McCallum and Jas. Shep- ard. colored, were charged with fast driving on Dock street and were fined $5 and costs in each case. J. H. McKoy, for trotting his team around corner of Front and Market streets, was fined $5 and costs. Rufus Davis, colored, charged with disorderly conduct was discharged. Mystery of Sneak Thief. The mysterious disappearance of various articles from the back porches and refrigerators of residents up-town has been solved. A "mysterious" col ored woman seems to he at the bot tom of the trouble. She has a habit of making a tour of the rear entrances of residences mornings before the families are up and taking all 6he sees In sight. A few mornings ago she appeared at the residence of Mr. TL C. Merritt, No. 115 North Fifth street The-refrigerator on the back porch had twice been robbed lately and Mrs.-Merritt 'hearing some one on the back porch, called out In time to find the woman beating a hasty re treat. When she was stopped the woman made the Innocent Inquiry If a washerwoman was wanted at the house. Of course the woman had no Idea-of making any such business en gagement at such an unseemly hour and Mrs. Merritt emphatically told her so. Residents who have been annoyed of late by these petit larcenies would do well to look out for "the lady who wants to take in washin'."

Address; The Morning Star, ' Wilmington; Nv& CASE ALMOST ENDED AH of Yesterday's Session of Superior Court Taken Up With Testimony. THE MEIER DAMAGE SUIT General Manager Skelding Star Wit ness During Day, Qualifying as an Expert Evidence Will Con clude Tomorrow Morning. With the possible exception of one more witness for the defendant corn pay, ally the testimony in the Meier damage suit against the Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company was in at 5 o'clock yesterday after noon, when court took a recess until 9:30 tomorrow morning. Each side yesterday introduced evidence both di rect and In rebuttal very good progress having benn made all the way through. The first week of the term, however, concludes with only two cases tried and a large number set for last week still hanging fire. It is now almost certain that practically all of the second week will be required to complete the cases set for the first week. It is hardly expected that the Meier case 'can be concluded before Tuesday as there are several attor neys to speak to the Jury on both sides. Mr. A. B. Skelding, general manager of the defendant company, was the star witness yesterday. He testified as an expert, and various hypothetical questions as to the operation of cars and appliances were shot- at him by attorneys for both sides, those by the plantlff being designed to show that at the time of the accident the car which passed over Meier was not equipped with headlight, fender and other safety appliances as the law at that time directed. Mr. Skelding said that the appliances on the car in ques tion were the same as' were in general use in 1903. He admitted that the car -was not provided with a fender, as fenders were not then in general use on suburban lines but even had the Ur ben provided with such equip ment, it would not have saved the life of , Meier, but' would rather haves mu tilated his body and made death more certain than it was. &s:to the "head light he. said' that it should have been in good working " order ' and of high voltage, as there were v only, few' cars on the line at that hour, arid ' the car was receiving the.' benefit' of a very high voltage. He said that emergency air brakes could not have prevented the accident, as the track was wet and slippery and the speed of the car was between 30 and 35 miles an hour. It was impossible for Motorman Horne to have stopped the car In time to have saved the life of Meier. He said that In 1903 the electric search lights were not in general use, nor had they been declared practicable. As to fen ders he said that they were not even now required in some very populous centres which he mentioned. The cross examination by plaintiff's attorneys was principally to show that in 1903 the law required fenders and, other appliances on roads of the subur ban type. Capt. A. L. DeRosset, a passenger on the car, testified as to the position of the body between the rails, etc. Dr. J. E. Matthews was a passen ger on the car and qualified as an ex pert. He testified that the blood from the wounds of Meier seemed rather darker and did not possess that rich, red color that would seem to indicate that- the, wound had just been made. From the testimony brought out from Dr. Matthews it would seem that one line of the defence will be that Meier was possibly murdered and placed on the track or that he had fallen some time before and struck his head on the rail, causing his death. Messrs. E. S. Capps, the county jail er, and Mr. Joe Capps testified that the deceased had married their sister some time before the accident and for the year prior to the accident he had not supported her. They said that he occasionally got drunk. Mr. William Goodman was. a pas senger on the car on which Meier started to the Sound . that night and tsetified . that the deceased was not put off at Delgado station, though he had refused to .pay his fare before Delgado was reached. Mr. J. A. Fettel testified that Meier was at work, on the Seashore Hotel some time before Jiis death and that he had seen him .drunk' several times. Mr., Isaac King, an electrician, tes tified as to Meieris character. There were several others who testified as to the good chapiter of the deceased. The jury in The case Is not held to gether after the sittings of the court, but are allowed to go each day with the customary. 'Instructions from His Honor riot to discuss the case among themselves or to allow it to be dis cussed "in their presence. . If any one approaches a juror to discuss the case, he- is instructed to report the matter to the court. " . Death of Mrs. Cook at Cronly. Mrs, Elizabeth J. Cook, wife of Mr. W J- Cook, of?

Mr. G. W. Mills, 60 or 65 years of age, proprietor of the peanut and pop corn wagon that is now a fixture at the Atlantic National Bank corner of Front and Princess streets, was tvio lently assaulted, evidenly for the pur pose of robbery, as he was on his way home and was passmg Fifth and Church streets last night a few min utes before 11 o'clock. Mr. Mills is an ex-Confederate soldier, and while he is not accustomea xo dealing with footpads, he took such aggressive steps toward the highwayman after he had been knocked down and se verely wounded that his assailant made off without relieving him of his money, as would, doubtless, have been the case with a more tim'd person: The back of his head, however, was laid open to the bone ,arid Mr. Mills Viill tuffer some inconvenience for several days as the result of his ex perience with the highwayman. . It being Saturday night, Mr. Mills was with Lis machine on the street rather late and had considerable mon ey on his person as a result of the day's business. The machine had been housed down town and he had started home. He passed the man who as saulted him, but he had hardly passed him when he was dealt a seere blow with some heavy instruriient on top of the back part of his head. Mr. Mills was stunned for the moment and was knocked down, but he quickly recovered 'himself and putting on a bold front, he used some hot lan guage at the footpad and intimated what he wquld do for him if he made any further attempt to harm him. The highwayman was evidently unprepar ed for such aggressive movements on the part of a much smaller . and more aged man, and at Mr. Mills' be hest he took to his heels. No effort was made to rob, as was without doubt the purpose of the assailant. Mr. Mills was suffering terribly from the long gash cut in his scalp, and was still in a measure , stunned, . but he managed to summons a passing hack and went to nearest drug store, whoie he was directed to Dr. Charles T. H arper's residence. Dr. Harper gave him the necessary! surgical at- tention. and JVIr. Mills- went . to -his home. ' There la no clue to tfje man who made such a desperate assault on the aged man. . - ; MARION SEASIDE HOME Retreat For Sick Children Will Open on July 10th. Mr. Marcus W. Jacobi, chairman of the board of trustees of the Marion Home for Sick Children, recently made possible through the generosity (of Mr. James Sprunt, -on Wrightsville Beach, announced yesterday that the institution would be opened on June, the. tenth. The cottage is now being overhauled and remodelled by Mr. Sprunt and it is being furnished throughout to meet the new conditions of the recent tender. Mrs. Grace Hen geveld has been engaged as nurse at the home and Mrs. Helen G. Lane as matron. According to the by-laws and constitution recently adopted by the ; trustees applications for admis sion should be made to the matron by the parent or. guardian of children or by representatives of the Associated Charities or any religious denomina tion, through pastors or the district nurse. The indications are that great good . will be accomplished at this home during the Summer and it is pleasing to know that if the need for it is established there will be no trou ble about the permanency of the insti tution. , DIED SUDDENLY ON FRIDAY. Mr. Lloyd C. McKoy, Prominent Citi zen of Northwest Funeral Today. Mr. Lloyd C. McKoy, a ell known and prominent citizen of Northwest. Brunswick, county, died suddenly at his home Friday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock. He was, seated in a chair when he was suddenly attacked with heart failure and passed away before medical aid could reach him. Mr. Mc Koy was in the -63d year of his age, and was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him, and his -ac quaintance was wide, not only ; in Brunswick, but in, New Hanover an3 Columbns. He is survived by his wife and three sons, Charles F., of Cam- ron, S. C, ,Fred M., of Wilmington, and Clarence L., of Columbia, S. C.

BAY George Roderick Held Them 0ff Wifh Double Barreled Shot Gun. ' FIRED AT ONE OF THEM Capt. George Smith's Timely Arrival and Disarming of the Man Lock- 1 ed Up For Hearing Monday - Before Mayor. Standing in themiddle of the street in front of his house, a. double barrel ed, breech-loading shot gun . leveled at them, both hammers backvf ready for instant use, "George "Roderick,, a half drunken white v man whose repu tation is none the best, in, the vicinity in which he lives, held two policemen and a score of citizens at bay yester- , day afternoon about 6 o'clock in front of his house on Queen street, between Front and Second . He had just fired upon Officer C. G. Jones, 'who had gone up to arrest him and . luckily for that officer in the drunken man's frenzy his aim was poor and 'the .oad of shot tore up the sand just at his feet. A stray shot pierced' the 'cheek of a Mr. Hatch, who lives in the vi cinity, but the wound is not serious. Roderick's arrest was finally accom plished by Police Captain George Smith, who lives near, heard the firing and approached the man from the , rear, wresting the gun from his clutch es after a struggle during which the gun was once again discharged,. The prisoner was locked up at the police station for a hearing before Mayor Springer at noon tomorrow.; It appears that Roderick had been on a spree all day. His wife was down to see Justice Furlong ,.in the after noon and made , complaint, against her husband for ill treatment. She said then that she was afraid her husband would do her harm, but as : the domes tic infelicities of the. Rodericks have beeri quite common in court circles lit tle attention was ' paid to... her,? but warrant had been issued for the, man. As soon as the wife returned home, it seems that the troevwasrenewe(l and some x one in the " neighborhood telephoned that Roderick was 011 quite ; rampage; Mounted :PoUcetnaiories was dispatched with the patrol Vagom to make the arrest, arid finding .Rod erick on the street, he ran to overtake him:, Roderick, - however, beat him tc the house and when the would:be prisoner emerged from the, house' It: was with the gun" drawn- and his pock ets full of shells, as if he expected a, prolonged attack. Cocking both bar rels he fired one shot at Officer Jones; at close range, the effect ' being as stated above. Reloading- his gun with the barrel still presented toward the officer, he backed away, holding the officer and others who came on'.'ib)e patrol wagon at bay. A great crowd collected on the streets and behind Roderick, so that the officers could not fire upon him had they elected to close in on him. Capt. George Smith, who lives some distance away, was seated near the window when he saw the patrol wag on and mounted policeman pass, ; but he thought it was an ordinary drunk and at first dismissed tbe idea of serl-, qus trouble. When he heard the gun fire, however, he hastily threw on his, cap and went out in the direction the' officers had gone. Turning th corner on Queen street just behind Roderick, he grasped the situation at. once and advanced rapidly, pistol drawn,-, from the rear. He jumped on Roderick and grasped the gun, bearing the muz zle downward as his fellow officers were Immediately in range and both barrels were "cocked and "'primed' Roderick fought like a madman with his finger still on the trigger and Capt. ' Smith says that he endeavored .to force the barrel around in order; to shoot him in the legs as they grappled but he was a little too, much f orchis antagonist and kept himself ouC-of , range. Roderick, however, did man age to discharge one barrel, and . the load ploughed a great hole U in5 the . earth at their feet Capt, Smith final-, ly managed to wrest the guri from the drunken man, the other officers coming up in the meantime arid piling Roderick in the wagon.,. He was later locked up at the police station and -will have a seance with Mayor, Springer at noon tomorrow. It is said that he was not too drunk to know what he was doing and managed his end of the - fireworks remarkably well. Capt. Smith's' conduct on the occasion-.; is spoken of as being very courageous, rand the citizens in that end' of the town feel grateful to him for hia -bravery in subduing a min who.: they had every reason to believe was desperate. Mrs. Caledonia Roderick,' mother ."'of the man, endeavored to get" the gun from the officers after her son was ar rested, and Officer -Jones -had,-a 'war rant sworn out for her for, interfer ence, ; but" it is - hardly probable ; that the case against- her .will be pressed.
