occurred in Wilmington shortly before
enc O'Clock that morning The Whining
ton Messenger contains the following de-
tails concerning the death of man who
was loved wherever known, and whose
twelve years pastorate of the two Meth
odist churches in Raleigh had peculiarly
cndeared him to the people of this city.
The Messenger of Sunday morning says:
The people of Wilmington and the
members of the Methodist Conference
now assembled in this city will be
shocked this morning to learn of the
sudden death of the Rev. w. c. Norman,
of Durham, who has been here since
Tuesday night to attend the conference.
Mr.. Norman has been the guest of
Mr.. A. G. Craft, at 21S North Seventh
street and has been daily attending the
sessions of conference. He was out as
usual yesterday at the forenoon session
which took 4 recess at p. IN. He then
dincd with Mr. w. E. Springer and his
company at his residence, No. PA North
Secon1 street, and was about as usual in
the afternoon. Last evening when he
went back to Mr.. Crafts he said he was
not feeling we'll and would not go out
last night He did not eat supper, but
was cheerful as usual and sat and talked
with Inc family till 10 p. m. and then
retired. At 1890 o'clock this morning,
the Rev. j. D. Pegram, of Oxford, who
was sleeping in the room with Mr. Nor
man. called Mr.. II. G. Walsh and told
him Mr. Norman was quite sick and suf-
fering a great deal. Mr.. Walsh went
to Mr.. Norman's bedside and rubbed him
and got him some warm water. He
complained of an awful pain in his chest,
and that the pain sometimes went down
his arm He said he believed he had a
chill as his feet were cold and he felt
chilly
Mr.. Walsh hurried out for DR.. ID. w.
Bulluck and they were back in a few
minutes. but it was not FIVE minutes af-
ter the doctor reached Mr.. Norman that
lie died. He breathcd his last at ten
minutes to / o'clock this morning. DR..
Bulluck pronounced heart failure as the
cause of death.
This sad news will wiring the hearts of
our people with sorrow this beautiful
Sunday morning, for no man was ever
more beloved by the Methodists and peo-
pie generally of Wilmington than was
this good man. After having served
Grace church here for four years, he
left seven years ago, filled the appoint
mont at Edenton four years, and for the
past three years has been pastor of Trim
ity church, at Durham. He would have
been sent back there by this conference
for his fourth year

, cord this sudden end of the useful life

on the death of a former member had
only three preCCdents in its history,
namely, on the occasions of the death of
Benton, Blaine and Alexander Stevens,
when the House adopted resolutions and
adjourned out of respect to their mem
ories. 1t was decided to follow these
precedents in the case of Mr.. Reed. The

paid feeling reference to the death of
the ex-Speaker. No business was trans
acted beyond the formal reading of two
messages from the President and an
arrangements to postpone the special

Washington. Dec. S.-With but little
discussion the Senate today adopted all
the committee amendments to the I'm
migration bill with the exception of one
prescribing an educational test, and the
bill was laid aside until tomorrow, in
order that a number of unobiected pen
sion bills might be passed.
The amendment fixing a three dollar
head tax on each Immigrant coming into
the United States furnished the prin-
cipal topic for debate. Mr. Gallinger in
sisted that there was no more necessity
for it now than there was a year ago.
1t finally was adopted without debate. A
new amendment was added designed to
stop the alleged perjury on the part of
persons seeking admission to the United
States, and the committee amendment
making the head tax a lien on the prop
erty of the transportation lines bringing
immigrants to the United States was
stricken out An amendment also was
agreed to, exempting from the tax aliens
in transit through the United States and
aliens once admitted and who have paid
the tax.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned until tomorrow.

OMAHA WEAK WITH THE BAT
Starts Out 10 Win the Game in the First
Inning and Then Quits.
DIES MONIES GETS ENOUGH IN THE EIGHTH
AIIoway Pitches superb Ball with Elk
ception Of that Inning Inc
Fields His Position
Well.

Omaha batsmen laid down in the hitting
harness at Xinton Street park Sunday af-
ternocn before 5000 people and let four
hits beat them in the eighth inning by a
score OF 3 to 1. The locals chalked up their
lonesome run in the first lime to bat, and
seemed 10 think nothing more was neces-
sary. Nor was It till the eighth, for Al
loway continued to serve goose eggs to the
Undertakers till then.
The rest OF the story is easily told. Clark
started the eighth by going out from
Dolan across. o'Leary hit safe and took sec
ond on an error of Stewards. who helded
the hit and threw to FIRST anyway, putting
Il over Thomas head and to the visitors
hood. Then Quinn put another to Dolan,
who threw to Genins and caught o'Leary at
third, Quinn taking first base on helder's
choice.
Here were two outs, and no one dreamed
of a score. But Davis made his second
clean single for the day, and Backof fol-
lowed II with another, which scored Quinn.
SO the tally stood even at / to 1, and then.
with Davis and Backof on bases, Warner
laid the ball against right field fence for
three corners, scoring both men who were
preceding him on the bases. Burg took a
base on balls and Lobeck ended the inning
by placing a liner over Alloway's head,
which Stewart caught.
Discussion ends here, for Omaha has no
habit Of batting out two runs in two in
nings. Every single man on the team had
a try at that lead in the eighth and ninth,
just nine coming to- bat. From that layout
one lonely hit resulted, that by Stone. So,
even with a base on balls, scoring was out
of the question, as Des Moines was playing
clean and safe.
Pitcher Willis has many box mannerisms
Of a former decade, such as lobbing them
up underhsnded now and then, but he never
theiess held Omaha to six hits, and but two
OF them were worth the money. These came
In the frst inning. and brought in Stone,
who made first on Burg's error. The other
four hits came one at a time with an in
ming between them, and might have been
spared.
Alloway nelded like a whirlwind, and
threw great ball till the eighth, allowing but
four hits till then. Even at that 1t must
be remembered that one run isn't always
enough to win a game. AS a matter of prac-
tice, 1t is safe to give 1t company. Umpire
Abbott, the stalwart, was back in the serv-
ice, There are two games today, one at 10 80
in the morning, the other at S:45 in the
afternoon. The score:
