Peace, But with Honor

Wilmington, N. c., September 26.
To the Editors of The Messenger
Wilmington, like all other southern
cities, is infested with a large number
of idle, thriftless and shiftless negroes,
without occupation or any desire to
work.
This is a dangerous element, and
the only effective remedy for their
proper control is the enforcement of
a vigorous vagrant law which would
require every man, or woman, to
identify themselves with some active
honest employent, and a place Of abode,
failing to do so they should be sent to
the city's chain gang.
The satisfactory results brought about
by the operation of this law, in Au-
gusta, Charleston, Savannah, and
many other cities, should recommend
it's adoption.
The Industrious and law abiding
residents, no doubt, wish to preserve
peace and amity between the races, for
discord and strife would mean starva-
ton and want to them. This desire may
be prompted by a species of gratitude,
such as some philosopher defines as
"a keen sense of favors to come"
1t is surprising, however, to note how
little stress the average negro attaches
to the fact his daily bread comes from
the hands of the native white people
of this community, as when some
mountebank puts himself Upon a re-
publican ticket to be elected to Office,
the negro will vote for him almost to a
man, although he has little respect for
his candidate, and we'll knows that in
electing such a scab to Office he is
heaping indignity upon the people who
employ them, who feed and school his
children, who help him to build his
churches and support his preachers,
who aid him in sickness, and truly
sympathize with him when in trouble.
Yet with disgusting effrontery he will
declare himself a republican, and, will
follow his leader blindly to ruin.
Enforce a vagrant law by all means.
Peace, but Peace With Honor"

Shooter OF MI. Penny Bound Over

Sam Galloway, the negro who shot
Mr.. B.. F. Penny, on Sunday, the 18th
instand, at Leland, was taken to Lee

a preliminary hearing on the charge
of assault and battery with a deadly
weapon. The hearing took place short
ly after 2 o'clock and was held in the

Chinnis and Jack Robbins. c. W

lantic Coast Line, was present to rep
resent the state.

sisting Of Mr.. w. J. Brown and Others
When the accused was arraigned he
pleaded guilty and stated that he die
not intend to shoot Mr.. Penny, buI
Conductor J. w. LaMotte. The state
introduced no witnesses, and as the
prisoner had none. he was bound over
to the superior court OF Brunswick
county, which convenes at Southport
On Monday, October 18th. A justified
bond of 81, 900 vas required for his ap-
pearance at court, but he could moi
give ii.
The prisoner was brought back &c

A Weekly Meeting Was Held Yester-
day Afternoon.

a
The Board of Health met yesterday
afternoon for the first time in three
weeks. Very little business came up
for consideration. There were quite
a number of applications for the up
heaval of earth for building and other
purposes. All We're peremtorily turn
ed down, but this is not likely to work
a hardship on anyone. The time limit
prohibiting the removal of earth will
end Friday at midnight, go be exact.
After that time the sod can be tumbled
about to the hearts desire, that is if
DR.. w. D. Mcmillan, superintendent of
health, permits it, and he can under
the law and will for any reasonable
purpose.
The weekly sanitary report of the
superintendent of health was received.
1t shows that during the week POI
loads of trash were hauled out of the
city, and this work was accomplished
by two wagons and four carts, with,
Of course, necessary man labor, which
was two carts less than the previous
week. The health officers made 964
inspections of premises. Of this num-
Der 40 were found needing immediate
attention, which SO obtained before
Saturday night. The officers made 16
special inspections. Lime and acid
orders were issued to the number of
22O.
No new cases of scarlet or typhoid
fever were reported last week. The
same eight residence hat have been
quarantined since the week previous
still remain SO.

OMAHA. Neb., June D. - The st.
Pauls ard the Omahas met in the
second game of their second series at
Ames avenue park today, and. while
the home team was routed foot and
dragons. it was a wildly exciting and
brilliant contest. Up to the ninth
inning it was really one of the pref
TEST games seen on the local grounds
this season. The hitting was hard: the
fielding superb, and the pitching first
class.
Both Fisher and Fricken were on
edge. and up to the last inning it was
a very even thing between them for
the honors. In the ninth Fisher weak
ened. and, when a twirler weakens
before the st. Pauls, look out There
Is apt TO he some fireworks, such as
was the case today.
Up to this juncture the honors were
easy. Each team made one run in
the first inning. For Omaha, Fleming
got his base on a bad throw by Shu-
CART, and scored on Roat's scorching
three-bagger, While for the Apostles
Eddie Burke hit safe, went to sec
ond on Millers sacrifice and scored
while Fisher and McCauley were idly
toying with the ball. In the fourth.
after embarrassing the Fisher family,
1A0@cOSStN- oClcI, GlIleH anu Spl6S all
hit safe, the first two scoring, and in
the fifth on a base on balls, a single. an
error and Eustaces home run, Omaha
made three.
In the eighth, st. Paul again pulled
up alongside the enemy. Burke made
two-bagger and ran home on Glen
alvin's single. In the ninth the Saints
tore off bunch of seven, Geier sin
gled, Shugart got his base on an error
of Roat, Gillen on base on balls, Spies
two-sacker, Fricken and Burke sin
giles, ard Miller life by Eustace's
error. Glenalvin then swatted Fisher
for three bags, and Geier for brace,
and the trick was turned. In their
half, the Fishers fell easy victims.

POORLY PLAYED GAME
Millers Benten in Spite of Errors BY
the Blues.

Special to The ST. Paul Globe
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 22.-The Blues
made eight errors today and still carried
away the victory. The exhibition they gave
was about as poor any seen here for a
long time. but they punched hits in the sew
enth and ninth innings and won the game.
Two pitchers were used by each team. Mer-
edith was taken out in the fifth inning, after
he had been touched for three sing .es and
Sullivan substituted. There was then enc
out. Williams caught Dixon's liner and
touched cut Lally at third. making double
unassisted. In the sixth Rice, Letcher, Cam
pau and Davis singled and Ritter trip,ed.
Davis covered the entire circuit after a sim
&c. on an error by Slag.e and Williams. In
the seventh Sullivan and Slagle singled, Fris-
bee drew one on a pass, Williams doubled,
Wilson got first on Letcher's muff of a
grounder and O'Hagan's return to first OF a
felder's choice. Rice threw wild to first
after Gears grounder, and Norton was taken
cut with the score tied.
In the ninth Wilson and O'Hagan singled,
Gear sacrificed and Viox brought in the Win

NEW LONDON, Conn, June ga
more unsatisfactory day in the annals
OF boat racing on the Thames has never
Deen seen than that which the Yale,
Harvard and Cornell university crews
and the thousands of spectators ex-
perlenced today. Three times the referee
attempted to start the race and three
times the weather condition prevented,
until just before sunset, the rain hav-
ing rallen In torrents all day, Mr.
Melklam was forced to put 1t over un-
I'll tomorrow at half past IL O'Clock
Inc early morning gave indications
that 1t would be most ideal one on
the river and for a while everything
went on smoothly and as satisfactorily
as the most eXacting crew could wish.
About an hour from the time selected
Tor the race, 2:3O, the wind, which had
oeen blowing lightly, shifted to the
southwest and became very boisterous
Kicking up quite a sea. The Cornell
launch, which was on the river, pro-
ceeded to the Harvard boat house,
where all went ashore and for the first
time in the history of boat racing Of
this country, two crews were in close
relationship for period of over two
hours and that on the day fixed for the
race.
Bob Cook went over to the Harvard
poathouse, where there were hurried
consultations by him with Messrs. Leh-
mann and Courtney.
The result of the conference was that
the referee put the race over until quar-
ter past 8.
About o'clock the storm broke out
IN great fury in all quarters up the
river. Those on the banks and proba-
Oily more than a third of those on the
observation train were completely soak
ed with rain, until the train at last
pulled back into the station five miles
distant and the crowd scattered for
shelter and dry clothing.
Mr.. Cook remained, at the Harvard
quarters for fifteen minutes after the
storm broke and then as it gave every
indication of continuing the referee put
the race off for the second time, set
ting the start for Z O'Clock. Everyone
found the best quarters possible for the
next four hours. The Cornell crew re-
manned at Red Top with the Harvard
oarsmen until nearly o'clock, when
as the rain still continued to fall the
referee made a third postponement I'M
til 1890 tomorrow
There is but little prospect that there
will be as large crowd tomorrow AS
there was today, although thousands
have remained over and the city is fill
ed with visitors tonight.
