18 BARRELS OF FLOUR MISSING
Testimony Brought . Oat i Yesterday
the McNair & PearsaU Case Hear
int Resumed To-day.
id
Yesterday the three negroes, Joe
Hooper, Lewis Jarman and . William
Murphy, charged with implication in
the theft of goods from the warehouse
of Messrs. McNair & PearsaU, were
arraigned for trial in the Mayor's
Court, but the hearing was not com
pleted and will be resumed this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. -
The story of the arrest of the negroes
and the charges made against them
are familiar to the readers of the Star
and would be a needless repetition in
this connection. During the trial the
negroes are represented 'by Messrs.
Bellamy & Bellamy -and 'tlerbert Mc
Clammy, Esq,, and Messrs. McNair &.
PearsaU have employed Frank Mc
Neill, Esq.i and George Peschau Esq ,
to direct the prosecution.
The evidence introduced thus far in
the trial shows that the parties im
plicated have been conducting quite
an extensive; system of steal
ing, and ! the s indications are that
the most guilty of all the
gang is staU at large. The officers
are especially anxious to, apprehend
Bob Nixon colored, the store keeper
on Nixon ; street, in whose place of
business such a quantity of stolen
goods was found a few days ago.
Mr. Leftwich, shipping clerk for
Messrs. McNair. & PearsaU, was put
on the stand yesterday as a State's wit
ness and testified that during the past
month eighteen barrels of flour had
been stolen from the firm. He could
not make an estimate as to the amount
of meat taken.:
When the trial is resumed this
morning the hearing of tne evidence
will be completed and the argu
ment by; counsel submitted and
His Honor the Mayor will render his
judgment The trial is attracting big
crowds of colored people to the Oity
Hall. The court lobby was crowded
yesterday as were the adjacent apart
ments and the front windows. No
cases other than the three for larceny
were docketed.
A BIG PIC-NIC TO-DAY.
The Croatins Meet at Hope Mills Ad
dresses by Jno. D. Bellamy and
Others.
Major WUliam H. Bernard, of the
Morning Star, left yesterday after
noon to attend a big Croatan pic nic
to be held to-day at New Hope, near
Pates, Robeson county. There is every
indication that it wiU be; one of the
biggest gatherings of the kind ever
held in that section. Certainly there
is every promise of a dajLof great en
joyment and profit for, aside from the
usual pic nic pleasures, there will be
some able speaking. John D, Bellamy,
Esq., our present candidate and next
Congressman from this district, will be
there and deliver an address. Dr. R.
M. Norment, independent Republican
candidate for Congress, is also booked
for a speech. And Col. O. H. Dockery,
the regular Republican-Populist-Fusion
nominee, has been invited and is
expected.

Baseball Saturday. ;
There wiU be another good game of
baseball Saturday k ; It will be played
at 4.30 P. M. at Hilton Park between
the A. C. Le team and a team from
the Nantucket. A postal card from
Mr. James Sinclbi, received yester
day, brought the information that the

team most likely, ! as the crew will
hardly get here sq soon.
The game promises to be a good
one and ought to draw a good crowd

DAILY RECORD ON THE MOVE.
Editor Manly Folds His Teats And
Silently Steals Away to a More.
Congenial Locality.
Yesterday's STau told of the demon
strationmade by quite a large number
of negroes Wednesday night in their
zeal to protect the office and editor of
the Daily Record, the negro daily,
from the attacks of assailants who did
not exist save in the healed brain and
misguided imagination of the crowd.
And how the office was garrisoned by
Editor Manly and quite a number of
his friends during the whole night.
By early dawn yesterday drays were
drawn up in j front o' the office
and office furniture and compos
ing room fittings were loaded on.
and before noon the whole Record
plant had been moved from the corner
of Water and I Princess streets to a
frame building on Seventh street be
tween Ann and Nun. They had in
tended to move into Ruth Hall but a
movement to make the insurance rate
considerably higher on account of the
Record's occupancy of the building
caused the trustees to reconsider their
contract to rent to the Record people.
No paper was issued yesferday on ac
count of moving.
There was talk around town yester
day about the paer'a suspending, but
Editor Manly fold u Stak reorter
that the Rrconl would 'con
tinue to do business in the same
old way if not at the same old sland."
The building tlie Record occupied, on
Princess street is owned by Mr. M. J.
Ileyer, who notified them to move
several days ago. The viciuity in
which the plant has been moved was
very quiet last night. Manly ami his
friends were of course on guard and
the police thereabouts were more than
usually alert. The Record hopes to
resume publication to day.
