The Court will, during the remain der of the term, convene every morn me at 8.30 o'clock, continuing in ses sion until 2 P. M., and taking a recess for the day. The reason for t&is : is that the Judge and many of the other officers of the Court are spending the afternoons and nights on Wrightsville Beach, going down to Seashore Hotel on the 2.30 train. It is not thought that the trial of Nick Polite and others charged with counterfeiting, will occur before to morrow or next day.

The County Commissioners took no action at their adjourned meeting yes terday regarding the reduction of the tax valuation of property or the .tax levy made during Monday's meeting.

The matter was discussed yesterday and assessors Bunting, Bag ley, and Hanby appeared before the Board and reported that the increased tax valuation of property over the last valuation is about 20jer cent If the Board decides to make the reduction it will be made before July first when the books go into the hands of the Register of Deeds for the computation of taxes. ! . 1 . - At the meeting yesterday afternoon there was a further conference with Mr. Scott, of the American Road Ma chinery Company, regarding the pur chase of a rock crusher, road scraper and other machinery for the public road improvement soon to be inau gurated. ; The purchases will probably be made within thirty days. , The greater portion of the meeting yesterday was devoted to the revision of the jury list The board was in ses sion fzpm 2.30 until 6.30 o'clock, all the members in attendance, and a re cess was taken until 2.S0 to-day.

Till man Howard Deferred Until To-day. . MRS. TERRY SKIPS THE CITY ,TY- Howard's Plea, for Mercy Mrs. Howard Wants Him Punished to the Full Ex- tent of the - Law A SmU ; Docket Yesterday. - - The most interesting feature of yes terday's session of the New Hanover Criminal Court was the developments in the case against J. T. Howard; for abandonment of his wife and the one against Mrs. Ida Terry and J. T. How ard for unlawfullv livinsr toe-ether. First of all yesterday morning i the discovery was made that Mrs. Terry, who, being under conviction, was ! re leased upon her own recognizance for her appearance on Tuesday I to receive the sentence of the court, had left the city for parts unknown, j No one seems to know where she has gone. She carried her children with her. 1 Yesterday afternoon J. T. Howard was brought before the court and a general discussion of the best mode of punishment discussed. The maximum judgment for the offence of which he stands convicted is two vears in the work house, : but the court and attorneys seemed averse to such a sen tence for the . reason that during; his imprisonment his four children would be "deprived of the maintenance which he should, they say, be compelled to provide.' i Howard addressed the court during the time his case was being discussed and pleaded for mercy. He said this was the first time he had ever been con victed of any offence and promised to do anything that a man could do if the judge would suspend imprisonment Later in the day Mrs. Howard went before the court and in response - to enquiries said that she desired her husband to receive . the full meas ure of punishment provided bv law. However, Judge Battle deferred pass ing sentence until today. A course of action which seems to be under favorable consideration is to put Howard under a good bond for good behavior and requiring him to deposit a stipulated amount with the clerk of the court each month to be used in the support of the children. However,; the statement by Mrs. Howard - that ' she wants her husband to receive the full penalty of the law tends to prevent this action. Routine Business. j The cases disposed of yesterday, aside from the one mentioned above, are as follows: f Thos.
