Painful Acciclunt. Sven Patterson, a Swedish sailor on board the steamship BeneJ'a tor, had the misfortune to fall through one ot the bunkers of the vessel this morning, by which he received painful injuries, though, fortunately. no bones were broken. Surg cal aid was soon in at tendance, and the condition of the wounded man was made as comfortable as possible, after which he was taken to the U. S. Marine Hospital for treat ment. It is the opinion of the Surgeon that, although the patient received severe bruises and was badly sprained, be will be able to go to work again in a week or leu days. The Death Sentence. At half-past 5 o'clock yesterday after noou the Criminal Court room was crowded with a dense throng, who had assembled to hear the judgment of the court upon Grant' Best, colored, who had been found guilty of murder. The prisoner was in the box. and was ap parently the least concerned of all present. Solicitor' Moore prayed the judgment ot tho court, when Mr. J. T Elliott, ot the counsel for the defendant, rfsked to be heard briefly. While sat isfied that the prisoner had had a fair! and impartial trial, so tar as the facts were putbetore the jury, and that the court h-U given him every benefit to which he was entitled, counsel thought that the jury had misinterpreted their duties in the case. For this and other reasons counsel asked for a new trial, Mr. J. C. Dayis, the associate counsel for lhe defense, joining in the request. Solicitor Moore said that the ooly question to be considered Was I be verdict contrary to the testimony? Twelve men all good citizens had declared the defendant guilty as cbarg ed. and the judgment of those twelve men was better than that r f any indi vidual. He would not be willing to set aide the verdict and take a verdict for manslaughter, the punishment for which could not exceed twenty years in the penitentiary, but be would be will ing to unite in a recommendation to the Governor to commute the sentence to imprisonment lor life. The Court over-ruled the motion to set aside the verdict, and proceeded to pass sentence. Best was ordered to stand up. and when asked, "What have you to say?" remained silent,' but upon being prompted by one of bis counsel, finally said, "Not guilty." Judge Meares then passed sentence as follows: Grant Best, you have been .tried and convicted ot the charge ot murder, the highest crime known to the laws of North Carolina, and it now becomes mv rlntv and n. nninftll fltlR to flTO" I nounco judgment upon you. The sen tence of the law is that you be taken to the county jail from Whence you came, there to remain until Thursday the 14th day of July, in the year of our I rd 1687. and that on that day, be tween live hours of 9 o'clock of the fore noon and 5 o'clock of the afternoon, you shall be taken by the high sheriff of the county of New Hanover to the place of execution and there be hanged by the neck until you are dead " i Our Advice to You In buying- clothisg for men. boys or children, do not allow yourself to be guided by glaring advertisement which promises to sell clothing lower than tbe Old Reliable.
