Sporting Notes.

The Mount Holly A. A. will open their
season by playing the Mount Holly A. c.,
the other local team The game will be
played on the High street grounds next
Saturday. Game called at $50.
Uncle Harry" Morelock, who was the
pride of the Mount Holly fans a dozen
years ago, expects to get back into the
game this season, and says he can still
play third and bat as well as any of the
present day Youngsters.
The Pemberton and Medford base ball
teams will get together this season and
play series of three games The local
team goes to Pemberton on July 1st and
the Pemberton team plays two games in
Medford on Labor Day. The managers
of the two teams have posted forfeits to
keep their agreements to keep the engage
ments and to abide by all the decisions of
the umpire.
The Mount Holly A. G. on Saturday,
defeated the McCrystal base ball club, of
Philadelphia, in grand stand finish, by
score of II to T. 1t was to in favor of
the visitors up to the eighth inning, when
the home team was seized with a batting
streak, and brought in seven runs on six
clean hits. disappointing those who left
earlier In the game under the belief that
the city chaps had cinch on the contest
A feature seldom seen in a game of base
ball is the fact that Gillian, on first base,
up to the eighth inning only had three
put outs to his credit, while Eugene
Haines, catcher, had fifteen. Loveland
played in left field and scored two of the
runs, getting one hit, although he knock
ed the ball all over the field outside the
foul line. Peck pitched good ball. strik-
ing out twelve men and allowing only two
safe hits. Gillian, VINO guards the first
bag, is the most intelligent base runner on
the team. With his eye constantly on the
ball, he needs no coaching, taking advan-
tage of every opportunity to score run,
and he had three to his credit He has
good eye, this being demonstrated by the
fact that every time at bat he took his
base on balls, excepting in the seventh
inning, when he was put out on fly to
right field. Eugene Haines, who got
sharp rap on the top of his head with a
pitched ball, is conscientious, steady
player, but needing practice on getting
the ball down to second base. The visi-
tors were very orderly on the field, and
the decisions were satisfactorily rendered
by John Ross, disabled member of the
local team, who acted as umpire.

The dwelling house known as the cold
Kinsman property located along the
river bank Just above Florence Heights,
and owned by the E. M. Hedrick Sand
Company whose offices are in the Mer-
chants building, at Philadelphia, was
completely destroyed by fire Sunday The
fire originated in the front part of the
house about IL As A. NJ and despite the
efforts Of the employees of the Sand Com
pany to save it, the house was burned
to the ground and there is nothing
left but two chimneys to show the once
historical spot of Florence. For many
years it was the residence of Henry Kins-
man, an eccentric old man, who lived
there with his wife, and no other person
was ever allowed on the premises, and 1t
was completely surrounded by large
grove. When Mr.. Kinsman died, the
property was sold to the Sand Company.
1t has been used by some of the men in
the employ of the company. The loss
will probably amount to $1,000, which is
fully covered by insurance. There were
two men in the house cooking when the
fire started, but the exact cause of it is
unknown.

Charged With Assault.

Mrs. Susun Greenwald, aged about
twenty-five years, the wife of Jacob
! Greenwald, of Lumberton, was confined
to her bed last week suffering from pros
tration and shock, due to her narrow es-
cape from being criminally assaulted by a
burly negro who entered her home dur
ing the absence of her husband
Joseph Allen Wilmington, native of
Maryland, is the man who admitted the
attempted assault, on Wednesday even
Ing, when he was given hearing before
X. J. B. Slack, committing magistrate
who imposed sentence of six months in
the county Jail.
With great frankness the prisoner re-
marked: Judge, had no business to go
into that house. | admit that there is an
irresistible feeling in many colored men
to assault defenceless white women which
cannot explain. Although many of my
brethren are serving long terms of i'm
prisonment for this crime, yet they seem
unable to restrain themselves when the
opportunity presents itself l hope nv
sentence will be warning to all my race. %
Sitting alone the Sunday morning pre-
vious, Mrs Greenwald was startled by
the boldness of Wilmington, who entered
her home and began very vulgar con-
versation, the purport of which could not
be misunderstood.
81 want something to drink" demanded
the negro.
II haYe nothing l can give you but a
little wine of my own make" replied the
timid and trembling woman, whose only
thought was of escape.
Handing the beverage to her unwel-
come caller, Wilmington poured some in
glass and pressed the vessel to his lips.
While drinking its contents Mrs Green
wald rushed out into the street and to the
house of her brother-in-law, close by,
where her husband was also found Al
though greatly exhausted and thoroughly
frightened, she managed through broken
sentences to tell what had happened and
the threat which was made against her
person. Jacob Greenwald, the husband,
and his brother ran to the house Just in
time to catch Wilmington as he was leav-
ing. They beat and kicked him into the
road when he made his escape Whit
tington, farm hand, was employed by
Richard Coates, and the fugitive was ar
rested on the Springer farm, located be-
tween LumbeIton and Vincentown.

Judge Garrison charged the grand Jury
on the law applying to murder. The
man assaulted at Hainesport, on Sunday,
died last evening. Judge Garrison said
that the plea of intoxication must not be
considered by the jury; that was for the
petit jury. In the case to come before the
inquest it was not likely that any pre-
meditation could be discovered. If the
evidence showed that the assault was
made necessary through self-defence, or
that the deed was the result of heat and
passion, following a quarrel in which
the assaulter had first been struck, then
the crime would be manslaughter

expressed willingness to remove two or
