Gardner, U. S. Commis sioner, of the case against the steam yacht Alberta, of Fayetteville, for violation of the steamboat inspection laws In running with out license. The examination was con ducted by District Attorney F. H. Busbee, and at its conclusion Mr. W. G. Mc Laughlin, the owner of the boat, was re quired to furnish bond in the sum of $300 for his appearance at the next term of the IT. S. District Court, to be held in this city next November. The -Alberta ifa small steam yacht or launch used for towing small boats on the river at Fayetteville. Her owner had made application for license and pending a visit from the government inspection officers the boat met with an accident through the blowing open of the safety-valve on the boiler, causing the loss of one of the men on board who jumped into the river and was drowned. It was claimed that the boat had carried no passengers or freight for pay. The Commissioner held that . the law requires all boats propelled by steam, no matter how small or for what use they are intended, to procure license from the government. Personal. Mr. G. P.

The jury m the "case of Grant Best, the colored boy charged with murder, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the judge sent enced the prisoner to be. hanged on Thurs day, the 14th of July next. The case was given to the jury Monday evening, but they could not agrea upon a verdict until yesterday morning about 8 o'clock. On the first ballot they stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. On their return into Court yesterday morn ing Judge Meares was sent for; he received the verdict, and announced that he would give judgment at half-past 5 o'clock in the afternoon. When the time arrived the court room was crowded, with a mixed assemblage of white and colored people. The prisoner was seated alone in the box, but he looked as indifferently upon the surroundings and proceedings as any one of the spectators. Solicitor Moore prayed the judgment of the Court. - Mr. J. T. Elliott, of counsel for the prisoner, said that he would like to be heard for a few minutes. Counsel were satisfied that the prisoner had had a trial that no man could complain of, so far as the facts were demonstrated before the jury; they were perfectly satisfied that the Court had given the prisoner every benefit to which he was entitled ;but thought that the jury had misinterpreted their duties. He asked for a new trial, - on the ground that the evidenco did not show express malice on the part of the prisoner, and on the ground also that if the testimony of the Slate's two most important witnesses was taken the prisoner is guilty of manslaughter only. Neither of these witnesses corrobo rated the witness who testified that there . had been a quarrel between the boys the day before the shooting occurred. Mr. Davis supported the motion made by Mr. Elliott to set aside the verdict. The Solicitor said the facts had been ar gued before the Court. The only question to be considered was the verdict contrary to the testimony. No new facts had been produced. Admitting that the Judge had power to-set aside the verdict, the Solicitor said the Court must tnke this position: Twelve men all good citizens declare the prisoner guilty as charged. Now who would have th3 boldness to say that the judgment of thess twelve maa wai not bet ter than the judgment of any individual. In view of tb.3 aija of the prisouer and knowing his Taca, h i (tho 3jlicitor) woald not ba willing to set aside the verdict and take a verdict for manslaughter, the pun ishment for which c.iulJ not exceed twenty years iu the panitentiary ; but he would be willing to unite in a recommendation to the Governor to commute the sentence of the prisoner to imprisonment for life. The Court over-ruled the motion of pris oner's counsel to set aside ths verdict, and proceeded to pas3 seateaca. Boat was or dered to stand up. Uj arose and looked around in a stupid maoner, and when ask ed by the Clerk "What have you to say?" didn't open his mouth. One of his counsel leaned over the railing and whispered "Say you are not guilty," and B ;st slowly repeat ed the words "not guilty. Judge Meares then Slid: "Frank Best, you have been tried and convicted of the charge of murder, the highest crime known to the laws of North Carolina, and it now becomes my duty, and a painful one, to pronounce judgment upon you. The sen tence of the law is that you ba taken to the county jail from whence you came, there to remain until Thursday the 14th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1887, and that on that day, between the hours of 9 o'clock of the forenoon and 5 o'clock of the after noon, you shall be taken by the high sher iff of the county of New Hanover to the place of execution and there be hanged by the neck until you are dead."

Examinations Yesterday certificates Awarded Pupils in Semenway and Union Schools. One of the largest crowds that has ever assembled at the Union Graded School, were present yesterday to inspect the me thods employed by the teachers of that in stitution. For two hours the visitors were in the different rooms listening to the reci tations as they are conducted every day. Both teachers and pupils seemed to think that their reputation was at stake and all honor is due both for the creditable man ner in which they acquitted themselves. This method of examining a school is a most excellent way of acquainting parents with the way in which their pupils are trained. The exercises concluded with a calisthenics drill and march which was heartily applauded. The superintendent, Prof. Nobles, awarded certificates of pro ficiency to the following pupils, who have completed the course: John W. Gafford, Ivy Davis, B. R. Penny, George Bender, Frank Russell, Charles Daniels, Lucy Bell, May B. French, Fannie Taylor, Kate Northrop, Estelle Shrier, Mattie Allen, Kate Patterson, MaryMintz, Mary Maffitt, Minnie Bell, Bertha Forshee. At the Hemenway School similar certifi cates were awarded to Willie Bissett, James Cutis, Fred. Moore, Marion Woodward, Robert Vincent, Mittie Anthony, Ida Hew lett. Mary Pittman. To-day the teachers in the white schools will stand their yearly examination, which will be conducted by Prof. M. C. S. Noble. The examination will take place at the Union School, at 10 o'clock this morning. Religious Notice.
