Just a week ago last night Miss Dina Bokeltnann, of Charleston, was mar ried to Mr. Jno. II. Kuck. of this city, the ceremony taking place at the resi dence of Mr. D. Schroeder in Charles ton. Last night from 9 till 12 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Kuck gave their recep tion at their elegant new home, 518 Grace street, and it was the verdict of all of the numerous guests that an evening was never more delightfully spent Mrs. Kuck was attired in white organdie over white satin, with dia mond ornaments, the gifts of the groom, and her gracious manners won the hearts of all who attended.

Trial of Case of Hiram Moore Versus Wilmington Sea coast Railroad Co. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. The Jary Testimony is the Case Wit Dcsacs for Plaintiff aud Defendant Other Cases Disposed of At Yesterday's Session. Yesterday's session of the New Han over Superior Court was devoted almost entirely to the hearing of the case of Hiram Moore vs. the Wilming son Seacoast Railroad Company, in volving $10,000 damages claimed by Mr. Moore to have been sustained by himself June 25th of last year when he says he was knocked from the trestle of the defendant company between Wrights ville and the Beach. Refer ence was made to the case in yester day's court report The case was called very soon after the Court convened, and the follow ing jury was drawn to hear the cause: R F. Goro. B. H. Scott, Thos. Ennett, T. E. Starkey, Lewis Gordon, W. G. T. Keen. Gaston Hicks, P. J. Smith, Nicholas Morris, A. C. Peuton, J. H. Strauss aud R. W. Best. Mr. Moore took the stand as the first witness in his own behalf. He told of the accident and its effects in detail. In referring to his injuries he said that his head was cut badly in several places, and that his left arm was fractured between the elbow and shoulder. Several pieces of shell were taken from his head about a month after the accident, and his arm has, he said, never regained its usual strength. He was cou fined to his home for three months. The plaintiff charges negligence on the part of the railroad employes in not stopping or slowing up the train in approaching the scene of the acci dent. Counsel for the defence are intro ducing evidence to prove contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff. Yesterday testimony for the plaintiff was concluded and several witnesses for the defence were examined. Witnesses introduced by plaintuT s counsel were as follows: H. Kure, J. F. McCartney, H. McEvans, J. M. Mc- Gowan. Robt Burnett and T. W. Clawson and A. A. Smith. Witnesses introduced thus far for the defence are Capt. Ed. Hinton, Mr. F. M. King, John H. Gore, Jr., G. G. Watts. Julius Murray, Richard Stoke- ley. Win. Hall and Jack Wells. Sev eral others are to be examined to-day. It is expected that the hearing will consume at least the greater portion of the day. The case of Ricaud, Receiver, vs. C. W. Pike Co., was continued and tliat of C. H. Schulkeu vs. E. VanLaer Jet al. left open for judgment. These are the only two other cases compris ing yesterday's calendar. To-day's calendar is as follows: Ocean View Co. vs. J. A. & J. M. Hewitt; Schooverling. Daly & Gales, vs. J. W. Plummer, Jr., and City of Wilmington against Jno. H. Turner. Mr. Hall Not Carried Home. W. T. Hall, the Pender county trucker whose leg was fractured iu two places Tuesday evening, was not carried to his horrie yesterday as his friends had intended. The attending physician would not allow Mr. Hall to undertake the trip and thinks it will be as least ten days before he can lie carried home. Yesterday the man was moved from the Market street cart house to the home of Joseph S. Sneeden at 616 South Second street. He and Mr. Sneeden are friends, and it was through the invitation of the latter that Mr. Hall was carried there. A brother of Mr. Hall arrived here last night.. Fatally Scalded. Furney George, a young white man in the employ of the Butter's Lumber Company, Hub, N. C, was fatally scalded by the explosion of a steam pipe at the company's fcnill at six o'clock Mouday morning. He died at 1.30 o'clock the same afternoon. The remains were taken to Jack sonville, the young man's former home, for interment. They arrived here at 1.25 o'clock Tuesday over the W. C. fe A. and were taken out to Jacksonville on the W. & N. train eaving here at 2.25 P. M. In the same explosion Messrs. Fuller Walters and Charles Schulemyer were badly scalded. Uncle Ben" Exonerated. Yesterday Justice Fowler exone rated Ben Shepard, an aged colored man, from the charge of stealing wood. Mr. Fowler told a Star rep resentative that he never knew of more contrary swearing in his life than that done by some of the wit nesses. The jvarrant for Ben was issued on testimony of Frank Robin son, John Hall and Geo. Rogers, all colored. In the trial it appeared that Shepard bought the wood and that one of the parties instrumental in getting the warrant actually received a por- ion of the purchase money which the old negro paid for the wood. The Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., of Jersey City, New Jersey, has a repu tation for the quality of their lead pencils that is not surpassed by that of any similar concern in the world. They make every known variety of pencil, and their goods are all they are represented to be. For newspaper men no pencils can be found that are su perior to their "Dixon's American Graphite S. M. No. 8" and their "Dix on'a CarteTetNo. " CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN. A Raleirh Opinion That It Will Be Under Control of the Seaboard Very Soon. The following is from the Netvs and Observer of yesterday : "It is learned on good authority that the sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad to the Seaboard Air Line will be .consummated within the next few days. The decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals, in favor of the Baltimore plan, will be handed down when that court meets on the first Monday in February. The Sea board Air Line system is now making E reparations to take possession of the lape Fear and Yadkin Valley road at an early date." This seems very positive ; but where did our contemporary get its informa tion? It is not usual for Courts to make public their decisions before they are filed, and it is presumed the News and Observer bases its statement on the very general opinion that the de cision of Judge Simonton favoring the sale of the road as an entirety would be sustained by the Circuit Co urt of Appeals. This is the "Baltimore plan," and the one almost universally favored by the people o'f this State who are in terested, either directly or indirectly, in the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley road. And all these hope that the road will be sold as a whole, and, next to that, Ihey hope that the road will be controlled by some system that will do nothing to divert business from Wil mington. It will be remembered that in the decree of Judge Simonton it is pro vided that no bid for the road less than $2,000,000 will be considered. Should' there be competition at the sale the bids will, of course, run above that sum. And, without vouching for its accuracy, the Star will state that it has heard it intimated that there will be more than one sbidder for the pro perty. BOUND OVER TO COURT. Participants in the Cutting Affair Which Took Place Last Tuesday. The participants in the cutting affair in which Emeline Brown was badly cut, a report of which was published in yesterday's Morning Star, were tried before Justices Bunting and Fowler yesterday. Mr. Bunting at tended to Sue Campbell's case and Mr. Fowler to that of Clayton McLaren. Sue Campbell was bound over to the Criminal Court in a bond of $100, which she gave. It will be remem bered that she attacked Emeline Brown with a large meat knife, inflict ing severe wounds. Justice Fowler heard two charges against Clayton McLaren, one for as sault with deadly weapon and the other carrying concealed weapon. McLaren waived examination and was bound over to court in both cases in the sum of $50 each. He gave bond and was set at liberty. Will Re-open Next Week. Mr. A. F. Johnson, one of the pro prietors of the extensive strawberry crate manufactory at Clayton, spent yesterday in the city looking after business pertaining to the factory. To a Star representative he said that the new factory was now about com plete and will be opened with a full corps of laborers early next week. It will be remembered that the for mer factory building was destroyed' bv fire some time last November. Mr. Johnson is an old subscriber to the Star and had many nice things to say about the paper. "An Admirable Paper." Oxford Orphan's Friend: "A few days ago the Wilmington Star made its appearance in new, neat, plain type. While neatness in every re spect, and plain clear type have been for years characteristic features of this admirable paper, yet we note with pleasure this additional improvement. We extend to the Star our kindest wishes for its continued success. May its brilliant illuminations in the homes of thousands of families extend through many years, and may its three decades of existence be but a commencement of its usefulness." Funeral This Morning. The remains of the late Mrs. C. W. Springer arrived in the city yesterday morning at 9.30 o'clock over the At lantic Coast Line, accompanied by Mr. Horace P. Springer, of Washington city ; Mrs. F. M. King and Miss Addie Springer, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Springer, and Mr. R. W. Wallace, of this city. The funeral will take place from Mr. J. A. Springer's residence, corner Fifth and Princess streets, at 11 o'clock this morning. Death of Mrs. S. T. Middleton. Mrs. Sallie Thompson Middleton, wife of Mr. Fred. G. Middleton, of Warsaw, died in this city Tuesday night at 10.30 o'clock. Her remains were taken up on the evening train yesterday to her late home. The fun eral services will be conducted in the Warsaw Presbyterian Church to-day at 12 o'clock, noon. Mr. Middletonh as the sympathy of a large number of friends and relatives. Their baby boy is tenderly cared for by their cousin, Mrs. Harriss Northrop. Wilmington's Telephone Connections. Wilmington has telephone connec tion with Penny's Mill and Governor Russell's farm, in Brunswick county; with Cronly, in Columbus county, and soon will have with Carolina beach, as it has already with Ocean View beach. The Chamber of Commerce has a com mittee at work with a view to getting connection with Lumberton, which would put us in talking range of Max- ton, Bennetts ville, and other thriving towns. IN MASS MEETING Citizens Protest Against Action of the Board of Aldermen Making Vaccination Compulsory. ANOTHER MEETING CALLED. To Assemble To-night to Hear the Report of the Committee Appointed to Lay the Protest Before the City Authorities To-day. About 300 people, of whom a small majority were white, assembled in mass meeting in the City Hall, at 8 o'clock last night, to make a public protest against the action of the Board of Aldermen in making vaccination compulsory. Mr. Jno. G. Marshall, on request, called the meeting to order and explained why a meeting had been called. He asked Mr. Jr W. Millis to take the chair and by a unanimous vote Mr. Millis was made permanent chairman. Mr. E. F. John son was requested to act as secretary. Mr. Millis re-stated the object of the meeting and Geo.' L. Peschau, Esq., on invitation, addressed the assembly on the legal aspects of the ordinance. Mr. Peschau prefaced his remarks by saying that he understood the object of the meeting to be a purely peace able one, and with such an under standing he was willing to give his opinion of the law. He went on to ex plain that, by the Code, the criminal jurisdiction of the Mayor is that, of a justice of the peace, but the cases must be those where the punishment can not exceed a fine of $50 or imprison ment for thirty days. The ordinance, as passed by the Board of Aldermen, provides for both, depriving the Mayor of final jurisdiction. It has been ruled that "municipal laws" must be executed by the municipality itself unless some statute provides expressly otherwise. The same case lays down the rule that the Superior Court in such cases has no original jurisdiction. If the Superior Court in the present case has no original jurisdiction and the Mayor's Court, owing to the cumu lative nature of the punishment, hasn't the jurisdiction either, it does not ap pear how the punishment is ever to be executed. Mr. Peschau argued strongly against violence and urged his hearers to fight the ordinance in law if at all. His remarks were loudly cheered. Mr. A. S. King said that the ordi nance was an invasion of the rights of the people the rights their fore fathers had fought and died for. Com pulsory vaccination he condemned as scandalous and outrageous. He would not object to it if it was necessary. It was merely a scheme of the physi cians. He declared that the thing to do was to sign the protest as previously prepared and act as law-abiding citi zens. He said, further, that we are not in a free land when such measures are put upon us, and he concluded in the words of Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty, or give me death !" (Applause.) The secretary then read the resolu tions adopted on the night before. On motion of Dr. W. H. Moore, col ored, the resolutions were adopted, and it was ordered that a written copy be sent to all the papers for publica tion. On motion of Mr. A. S. King, a committee was appointed to bring the resolutions before the Board of Alder men. The chairman named on the committee Messrs. S. W. Holden, J.T. Smith, A. S. King, J. D. Duke, J. W. McCartney and John Smith, and the following colored citizens: S. J. Bell, H. S. Gause, Wm. H. Moore, Jack Moore, A. S. Henderson, and Wm. Quick. On motion another meeting was called for to-night to hear the commit tee's report. The resolutions will be circulated to-day for signatures. OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. First Presentation of "Aben AH" A Large Audience Assured. The event to which people have been looking forward for some days "Aben Ali" will have its first presen tation at the Opera House to-night, and judging from the lacerated condi tion of the box-sheet the audience will be a large one. The last rehearsal was held last night, and the whole performance went off very smoothly indeed; and all attending will see a most finished and highly artistic presentation to night. The photographs of the different characters and choruses on exhibition at Mr. I. Shrier's and Mr. Gerken's stores were viewed by large crowds yesterday, and many favorable comments were passed upon the pretty poses, laughable make-ups and fetchj ing attitudes of the characters. The box sheet for Friday night's performance opens this morning at Gerken's at 7 o'clock. There are also still some very desirable seats left for to-night's performance. Clam Shipments. Clam shipping is going on at a lively rate at present as is usually the case at this season of the year. The following clam boats have been in port this week with loads of clams: iK. T. Willis,'" "Bessie-Moore," "Ruth Bar ling," "Berta M. T." "The M. & L." "Mary Wheeler." The clams are brought to the city in bulk, put up in sacks holding a bushel and a half each, and shipped to the Northern markets. Some of them, especially the "little neck" variety command good prices. On account Mardigras, New Orleans, La., February 22nd, the Seaboard Air Line will sell tickets from all coupon offices on its line to New Orleans, at rate of one fare- for the round trip. Tickets on sale February 16th to 21st, inclusive, with final limit March 5th, 1898. Y. M. C. ASSOCIATION. Committees for Work In the Various De partments Announced State Con vention to Meet in March.
