Sen ator Martin of Virginia has Introduced an amendment to' the army "appro priation bill providing for the construc tion of a magnificent, memorial bridge across the fototmaC Connecting the site of the proposed $2,000,000 Lincolri memorial in Potomac Park, Washing ton, with Arlington, on the Virginia side.' ' - ' . The 'Mar'in amenc'mint carries an 'appropriation of $5,000,000' for the bridge, . which is' designed to-be 'a memorial of the valor of the Northern and Southern troops in the Civil , war. There is much sentiment in Congress in behalf of the idea, and if the Mar tin resolution does not pass at this session it U very likely to. do so later As the honif of Lee was at Arling ton, a memorial bridge between., that ' point and the memorial 'to Lincoln, which is to be biiilc on the" Washing ton side of the river, is a conception that inspires the highest emotions ol patriotism and passing of sectional bit terness. -. '. . The !ate' President McKinley urged, the building of such a bridge asr. "a convenience to the people from' every part of the;C0unrry who visit the Na tional cemetery, an ornament to the capital of the nation and a monument to American patriotism." ; Congress would not act thtniiit is it much more in a mood to do so now. , TOURNAMENT ONE OF GREAT EST EVENTS IN IIISA .

Almost instantly her clothing ignited. She succeeded in craw'ing , from the fire and ran screaming Irom the room. Her parents seized her and managed to extinguish her blazing clothing but not before- she was severely burned. : Dr.. R. S.

A deplorable acci dent happened several days ago 'o two sons of. Mr. A. S. Powell, a very prosperous farmer who lives out just a few mile from Dover. The two boys Were engaged in blowing up stumps with dynamite. While standing near a fire to warm it seems that ne ,not thinking of any danger, threw a dyna mite cap into the fire. In a flash the cap exploded and - tore up his hand pretty badly, a piece of the cap also becoming embedded in his knee. The lad did . not. pay much attention to his injuries, but in a day or so the knee became inflamed,' and blood poison set in and his case became very serious, but by the ' skilled attention of Dr. Hawes, he is much improved""' at this writing, and hopes for his recovery are entertained. ! C. C. Griffin has leased a tract of fifty acres of land from Dr. H.. O Hyatt adjoining the town of Dover and is having the land ditched out, preparatory to cultivating this year. W. E. White has sold his old car to Ed. Staton, the barber. The captain has purchased a new one of the very latest model of the Ford make. On account of rain last week the match game of basket ball between Kinston and the Dover High School team was postponed until Friday after noon of this week. The Kinston boys came down and played the Dover boys a score of 14 to 16 in favor of Kinston. The Kinston boys are a very clev?r set of young men. We extend them to a cordial invitation to come again. W.-A. Wilson has on hand a full line of blank deeds, mortgage deeds, chattel mortgages, option blanks, etc., and is prepared to write up papers, and do any notary public work. G. V. Richardson wenf down to New Bern Thursday and attended the Laymen's meeting. We have just simply got one of the best preachers in the .N. C. conference. Will tell you more about him later.

The gentleman stated that'J; he' had. no direct evidence that such was1 being done but in an indirect way had learn ed that several men' from the. north who had", come . to this .section ; and leased, hunting grounds for the season, were -sending a number, of. birds to the nothetn market every .week, " In some sections of the State game war dens ' are' employed at large, salaries to,' devote stbelr entire .time to their duties.

'" . '-' --t--, ; '" '. Mr. Eby involves Program Which He Thinks Will Make League Going Concern. FAVORS CENTRAL TREASURY This Would, Prevent Losses Which Come to Towns With the ' Losing Teams. : k The baseball fans of WilmingtoWj are now trying to decide . whether or v not they will, join the proposed Eastern Carolina Baseball League 'and be one of the towns in which the national game is' played during the approaching seaum. It is believed by those who are famil-. iar with the situation in that city, that the financial assistance needed in securing and maintaining a team is to be had and that the only thing lacking is leadership in the movement. Clyde Eby of this city, who was elected Chairman ol the meeting held at Goldsboro several days ago when four towns; Fayettevil'e, Goldsboro, Wash ington and New Bern signified their willingness to join the proposed league, has written a letter to the Wilmington Star urging the lovers of ball in that city to help make the league a reality. The letter is a very comprehensive di cussion of the baseball situation and lays down a new plan and one that Mr. Eby thinks will mean the placing of league baseball in Eastern Carolina on a sound financial basis. "I propose", he says in his letter, "that we form a league with a central treasury out of which the six teams are to be financed. Place all teams in the same salary limit and same ex penses. "My proposition is let each club arrange for its own grounds and grand stand, provide -its own uniforms, bats and balls. All w'rg each club to collect the receipts from their grand stand admission charges to re imburse them for this expenditure. Then- finance the te:im through a cen tral treasury (a trust company to be selected. ( First as a working capital to start with, have each town pay into the central treasury $500 making a to tal of $3,000. Then in order that the winning team will help carry the los ing teams 'financially, thus maintaining the league, (it being impossible for the league to exist without six teams) have the gate receipts or admission charges to the game remitted, each day to the central treasury. Out of this fund pay the salary and the expenses of each' tiam each week. Each town" is allotted the same amount for sala ry and expenses. Each town or .club has the exclusive management of its own team and secures the best play ers it can get for the salary limit al lowed, also has the privilege of selling its own players, etc "The only object in pooling the re ceipts is to provide money enough to maintain the league' by having the ad vantage of the winning teams drawing!" large crowds, thus helping to carry! financially the . losing .teams. In this way all teams start together and fin- ' iah together, ball playing being possi ble just as long as the 3,000 and the gate ' receipts, pay . the expenses. If we Succeed in finishing the 1 season,' the money in, the central treasury.; is", left there to start on tlie next season. , Should the "receipts prove to be more, than estimated,-the salary limit 'could be Increased from time to. timefmak; ; in'g better ball possible as the gate re- ' ceipts!warrant.":' ;V 'f- i'-X, I'K v ' Another, meeting of those Interested ., in the" movement will be held at Golds ' bbro: the latterpart of this month. -..; V : '; ... . - -.'
