ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE SENATORS Ragged Field Work Caused the Sad Catastrophe. STILL AT THE TOP NOTCH A White-Wash For Erstwhile Cocks of the Walk. VOLT 2 PUTS IN SOME SNAPPY TWISTERS ' The Boys of Richmond on the “Jeemes” Too Hard a Nut to be Cracked by the Ship builders Dwelling by the Briny Blue. No apologies for Raleigh. The game with Wilmington yester day, lost by the score of G to 2 was lost because the outfield work on the part of the Senators was as ragged and rusty an article as has been on exhibition lately. No matter how good a pitcher may have twirled the leather, he could not have played the game all by his ‘lone some." Bowden yielded but seven hits to the Pine Tops from Wilmington, while the Senators took six from, Stewart, the puzzle pitcher from “down home.” The Wilmington team played good ball, fast ball, gingery ball, and they walked away from Raleigh with a gait that wag a paralyzer to the grand stand and the bleachers. No hoodoo of any kind is responsible for yesterday’s fall down. To play bail the Raleigh fielders have got to get a move on them and not be star gazers. The home team took the stick first yesterday, but the change did it no good. The game started off with a 0, and the score of the ninth innning was a 0 with one run in the fifth and one in the eighth, just to break the monot ony of the 0 0 0 0 0 0 o’s that ornament ed the blackboard. There was enough stick work done by the Senators to win, but unfortunately these hits all came with bases empty and failed to materialize into runs. Stanly, Atz and LeGrande each burnt the ball for three baggers and LeGrande added a two bagger to the list, while Allen, of Wilmington, was the only one of the opposing team to get beyond the first base on a hit. Towards the end of the game it was a don’t care sort of an affair that made people tired. Stewart did good work for the visi • tors, and it was hard to drive the balls he pitched out of the diamond. When they did get out they were up in the air, and as they came down a Giant nabbed them. Crockett and "Tacks ’ Allen were also in strong evidence as live ball players. In fact the entire Wilmington push was as lively as a set of crickets yesterday. Despite all this, however, the game might have been Raleigh’s but for the poor ball that was played in the two sides of the outfield. The people who have put money In a "busted” bank are not overly fond of reading about their losses, but as a memento of a thrown away game, some of its details are given. Stanley was first up for Raleigh. He put the ball to first and was out. Hen negar hit for a single, stole second and went to third on a mix up with the ball at second. Kelly fanned and Atz flew out. For Wilmington: Cranston walked; Crockett did not reach first: A lie nflew out; Clayton singled and Mc- Ginnis flew out. In the second inning it was three men up and three out for Raleigh, and in the third one man was left on the base. Wilmington made no score in the sec ond, but got in a run in the third as follows: Cranston hit by the ball goes to first: Crockett is out at first and Atz gets Allen’s foul fly. Clayton singles and gets to third on Sherman's error, while Cronston scores. McGinnis hits Bow den with the ball, which bounces off to Hennegar and Me goes out at first. Both teams blank in the fourth. In the first Raleigh gets a score. Sherman is out at first and Person walks.. LeGrande does the three bag act and Person scores, and the next two men are out. In the first Wilmington takes three runs. Stewart hits to centre; Cranston sacrifices; Crockett dies at first; Allen get? his first on Atz’s error and Stewart scores. Clayton flies to Sherman, who muffs. McGinnis hits in left for three bags while Allen and Clayton score. Warren goes out Atz to Kelly. Raleigh’s sixth and seventh are blanks, though a man is left on base in each. In the sixth Wilmington does nothing, but in the seventh Crocket;, after a hit for one bag, gets home be fore the side it out. In the eighth Raleigh gets a run as Stanly makes a three bagger and scores on a wild pitch, the next three men do ing nothing. In Wilmington’s half, Warren, who sends a throe bagger in to right, scores on Thacker a’s fly to left caught by Sherman. Delanev gives son a fly, but Person muffed it and De laney goes to third, dying there as Ste wart strikes out. Raleigh’s tale of woe concluded with a blank in the ninth. The tabulated score tells the rest of the ghost story. THE TABULATED SCORE. WILMINGTON. AB. R. H. PO. A.

AN “ARTFVL DODGES” BALL. - The Shipbuilders Could do Little With Bish op’s Delivery. (Special to News and Observer.) Newport News, Va., May 14.—Richmond took the second game of the series with the "Shipbuilders” today, winning by the score of 4 to 2. For a time it was a pitcher’s battle, Bishop, for the visitors, pitched phenomenal ball for five innings, only one ball being knocked to the out field, and that being a fly out. In these innings the “Shupbuilders” went out in one, two, three order. Heiberger also pitched gilt edge Jaall, and with better support would probably have won his same. Score: R. H. E.

Poor Fielding by Norfolk. (Special to News and Observer.) Norfolk, Va., May 14.—Portsmouth whitewashed Norfolk on the former's grounds today. The score was 12 to 0. Norfolk fielded badly and was completely at the mercy of Voltz. The boys in brown and white played the game with a snap and vim that filled the Portsmouthies with joy. There is something radically wrong with the Norfolk team, but what it is cannot be ascertained. The men are not putting up anything like the game they played when the season opened, and it is likely that owner Cunningham will repeat the little saying: “Birds that can sing and won’t sing will have to be made to sing.” Otherwise the box office will begin to suffer.

CONFLICTS IN THE STBEETS OF ALBANY Union Street Car Strikers Stop the Cars. THE POLICE POWERLESS The Traction Company Say the Cars Shall be Bun. AND THEIR DEMAND IS FOR TROOPS The Tenth Battalion of Albany Assemble at the Armcry. The Strikers Watch the Line to Prevent the Running cf Cars. (By the Associated Press.) Albany, N. Y., May 14. —When darkness fell this evening several thousand weary street car strikers and sympathizers went to their houses, but they were replaced by as many more who took up the vigil to prevent the United Traction men from THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG ABOUT RADICAL LENIENCY Republican Federal Officials Knew That the Demo* cratic Registrars Could Not be Convicted and Made a Grand Stand Play to the Galleries. (Wilmington Messenger.) The Hon. George Rountree has called our attention to a peculiar circumstance connected with the action of the United States District Attorney for Hie Western district in nol-prossing the cases against the Democratic registrars at Greensboro during the last term of the Federal court held there. “It will be remembered that a confer ence was held in Greensboro between leading Fusionists of the State and it was publicly announced by the District Attorney, and approved by Judge Boyd, that for the sake of peace and good or der the cases would not be prosecuted further, but would be dropped from the docket. This announcement was some what startling, to say the least of it, and many people wondered why the Re publican party had become so considerate of the interest of Democratic registrars who had been hounded down with re lentless tyranny since the August cam paign of last year. “It will be borne in mind that when the first arrests of registrars were made last summer, a thorough investigation of the law was made, and it was the unanimous opinion of the leading law yers of the State that the Federal courts could take no jurisdiction of election offi cers, who were holding an election for the State and county officials only; and in accordance with these opinions the regis trars were advised to do their duty un der the State law and they would be pro tected from the Federal courts. “The only case that could be found that was an apparent justification of the con running their electric cars with non-union men. The darkness brought some confi dence that there would be no attempt be fore morning to move cars for two at tempts made in broad daylight had bought such bloodshed and riot occa sion that the local police aided by scores of deputies and Pinkerton men had been unable to quell the disturbance. One man lies in a hospital seriously wounded, one of the two cars the company attempted to run is in the gutter of a street nearly two blocks from the car house, wrecked, and the trolley wires are cut in several places, practically crippling the road. Near the car houses are thousands of men. women and children wrought up to a pitch of frenzy that bodes ill if the doors of the car house open to let out another car. Inside the car house, afraid evsn to look out of the grated windows, are about seventy-five non-union men, whom the company expects to use in running the cars. Early this morning there were about one hundred and fifty of them, by night fall sixty-five had deserted and joined the ranks of the strikers. The men claim that they were brought here under a misapprehension and that they suposed they were going to Phila delphia. This afternoon the police practically ad mitted that they were powerless to take care of the crowds on the street if cars were run, and General Manager McNam ara immediately called upon General Oliver, in command of the Third brigade for protection. He said: “We intend to run out cars if it takes the entire National Guard of New York to protect us.” General Oliver issued an order assem bling at their armory tonight the Tenth battalion of Albany, comprising four com panies of the National Guard of infantry and the Third Signal corps, mounted. General Oliver said that he would warn the remainder of the Third brigade to be in readiness for a call. The riot today was full of exciting fea tmes. At 10 o’clock two of the big car doors swung open and out darted a closed car with all the windows opened. Immediately there was a roar of hisses and shots. Sev eral men made an effort to board the car, but they were kept from doiug so by the policemen, one of whom was sta tioned on each car step. The car made rapid headway and almost before the ex pectant crowd realized what had happened it was well on its way over Quail street. It continued to the Union Station and re turned, followed most of the way by bicy clists and people in vehicles. The second car did not escape. When the doors were opened the mob surged towards it, despite the efforts of the police. The crew con sisted of four men dressed in plain clothes. As the car swung around the curve there was a rush for it, but the crowd was driven back. The committee from the strikers was allowed to approach the men. "Do you want to come with us, boys? You won't regret it.” There was no response from any of them. The motorman, with his smile gone, waved them aside, and the car was started off again. All the restraint in the great crowd broke. Through the middle of the street men ran, with women and chil dren, mingling with the officers of the law-, whose clubs were swinging and arms moving in vain almost, to keep the people from danger. Men stopped to pick up stones and were overturned to be pushed and kicked by the others. Before the car had started two police men boarded it. They simply made two extra targets for the stones and bricks. The car had not gone fifty feet before one’s helmet was crushed and the other policeman was in danger of having more than his helmet damaged. There was a duct o r Republicans in prosecuting Dem ocratic registrars (for a State election) in the Federal courts, was United States vs. Looey from Ky. This was an indict ment in the Federal court against certain persons for preventing a number of voters ‘of African descent’ from voting at a purely State election. Judge Evans of the district court of Kentucky sustained the indictment and the defendant ap pealed to the circuit court of appeals, where a decision was rendered February 12, 1901, which has recently been pub lished. This decision overrules Judge Evans and declares that the indictment cannot be sustained. This knocked the bottom out of the only theory upon which the prosecution of our registrars was based, and the court at Greensboro had evidently learned of the opinion and knew there was no merit in the cases on the docket. People will not give the Repub licans district attorney and judge much credit for their pretended love for peace and good order when it is learned that their prosecutions had been instituted contrary to law and without foundation in justice. “The opinion recently handed down de clares that the fifteenth amendment does not confer a right of suffrage upon any one, nor does it secure or guarantee any right of suffrage td any class of citi zens. “We shall continue to control our State elections without any fear of being drag ged into the Federal courts; and people will eventually learn that the rights of suffrage are regulated entirely by State laws.” perfect fusilade of stones. They came fro mall directions and crashed through windows, front, rear and sides of the car. The men aboard dodged and jump ed from side to side to escape them and were successful with the exception of the motorman. A great jagged edge rock struck him full in the fore head and he dropped to the floor of the platform. It was a deep, ugly gash the rock left and the blood flowed from it in a stream. The unfortunate man dropped into a pool of his own blood that covered the entire platform. The assistant, as soon as the man dropped, grasped the brakes and controlling handle and faced the mob. A lew feet more and the car was upon an insurmountable barricade. With a sud den jerk it'came to a stop and all aboard it were thrown forward, one of the con ductors falling amongst a pile of broken glass to receive some ugly flesh wounds and cuts. Conductors and one motorman joined the strikers and the wounded man went to the hospital. He said his name was Marshall, and he lived at Green Point, L. I. Five arrests were nfade and thus ended the first day's attempt to run cars. STATE NORMAL TRUSTEES.

Ter rible Provocation, Said the Judge (Special to News and Obserer.) Durham, N. C., May 14.—1 n the trial of a case in court yesterday in which Mr. Radciiff was charged with attempting to shoot a young man who had ruined his daughter, Judge Council suspended judg ment. In doing so he took the occasion to say that he did not know of a greater provocation for a father to shoot another than when his home was entered and his daughter ruined by some scoundrel, who had piomised to marry her. Continuing he said that he did not wish to be un stood as encouraging law-breakers, but that we might philosophize and moralize as much as we pleased, but human nature would be human nature for all that. He said that he had never fined a father under similar circumstances, and that he never intended doing so. The remarks of his honor in this case certainly met with the approval of everybody who knew the cir cumstances of the case that caused Mr. Radciiff, who is a hard working citizen, to get into court. There was a runaway marriage in West Durham yesterday afternoon. The contracting couple was Gustin George and Miss Lorena Parrish. Rev. G. D. Lang ston, pastor of the West urham Meth odist church, spoke the words that made them husband and wife. On Alston avenue yesterday morning, at the home of Mrs. Lizzie Green, Dorsey I>. Moore, and Miss Nannie Howington were united in marriage. It was a very quiet home event, and was attended by but a very few of the most intimate friends of the young people. Announcement has been made of the approaching wedding of Miss Addie At water, daughter of ex-Congressman John W. Atwater, of Durham county, to Mr. Thomas Burroughs, of Orange. The wed ding will be solemnized at the home of the bride’s parents next Wednesday af ternoon by Rev. J. H. McCracken, of this city.

Lansdell and D. D. Edwards, of this city, assisted in the ordination service. The church starts off with seventeen members. ABBITBATION SHORTS’ HOPE- Northern Pacific Arrangement Only Tempor ary. London Fears a Smash (By the Associated Press.) London, May 14.—According to the present plans J. P. Morgan will not go to America just now. The situation on the Stock Exchange today was the most remarkable known, as far as Americans were concerned. There was absolutely no trading the ar bitrage people not dealing and quotations were entirely nominal. The optimism with which yesterday’s settlement of Northern Pacific was hailed disappeared in the general realization that it was only temporary. Steps are being taken to form an arbitration com mittee to relieve stock brokers of their difficulties in connection with the North ern Pacific affairs. A representative of one of the largest houses said: “Unless the Morgans and Kuhn, Loeb and Company accept some such arbitra tion nothing can save the London market from a serious smash. The temporary arrangement, it is believed, may overrun the next ’settlement, but not much longer, t is thought the arbitrators might set a fixed price. Tha. would prevent serious failures and meet the views of Mr. Mor gan and Kuhn, Loeb and Company.” THE CONFEDERATE DEAD- The Postponed Memorial Exorcises Held in Wilson Yesterday. (Special to News and Observer.) Wilson, N. C., May 14. —The memorial exercises this evening, postponed from the tenth on account of bad weather, took place here this afternoon. The procession formed at 3 o’clock in front of the court house, led by mounted marshals, followed by the band, fifty old veterans of Barnes’ camp, the Wilson Light Infantry, a long line of vehicles, and the fire department. When the procession reached the graded school 575 children joined, all carrying flowers. A select choir on the platform at the cemetery rendered beautiful music. S. G. Mewborn, in chase and beautiful language, presented the orator, Prof. E. H. Mangum. His address was very appro priate and patriotic and ably delivered. The marching of children around the mound of the Confederate dead and lay ing on of flowers was a beautiful and in spiring sight. Three volleys were fired by the infantry at the close of the ex ercises. H. B. HARDY. FATAL BLOW WITH A ROCK. A White Man Killed by a Negro at Cedar Springs (Special to News and Observer.) Louisburg, N. C., May 14.—Last Sunday morning Furney Johnson (white) was killed at Cedar Rock, in this county. A colored man by the name of Bud Foster, struck him with a rock as a result of a quarrel between them. The negro is in hiding, but it is thought will soon be taken. There were strong indications Sunday that the man would be lynched if caught, but since then the feeling has died out and no apprehensions are now felt that this will be done. Graded School Commencement. (Special to News and Observer.) High Point, N. C., May 14.—The com mencement exercises of the graded school began here Sunday morning in the M. E. church with a sermon by Rev. S. B. Tur rentine, of Greensboro. His sermon was far above the average, and I am safe in saying that it was one of the best ever delivered in these parts. Last night the annual debate of the Irving Literary Society was held at the graded school building. The query w r as “Resolved: That the Signs of the Time do not Indicate a Long Life for our Repub lic.” The negative side won. The exer cises were interspersed with interesting declamations and beautiful selections of songs. This morning at 10 o’clock a tree plant ing by the class took place on the graded school grounds. This is an annual fea ture. At 11 o’clock class day exercises began in the M. E. church. The following took prominent parts in the program: Messrs. Ed. Tate, Walter Chandler, Misses Win nie Snow, Lula Tate, Edith Moore, Lula Claird, Messrs. Walter McCanless, J. Roscoe Seehrist, Misses Hattie May Se christ, Edith Moore, Lilie Myers. Tonight the annual address was deliv ered by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte. Practical Education. We have received an interesting lit tle hand-book on this subject, issued by the North Carolina College of Agri culture and Mechanic Arts. A coupic of quotations from it will indicate its character. “The world is demanding men who can do as well as think. The best equipment for a young man today is technical skill, knowledge and power. * “A century ago education was for the few, and was designed to fit them for the learned professions; today education is for the many, and is intended to equip them for life’s practical work.” The lad desiring to be an engineer, manufacturer, electrician, chemist, ma chinist, dairyman, farmer, or fruit grower should write for a copy of th?s booklet to President Winston, Raleigh, N.
