Yesterday morning about 10:30 O'clock While Standing eonmrsinir with Mr. E Pcschau on Water street near its intersection with Princess Capt. A. L. DeRosset was viciously attacked by a dog and severely bitten about the hand. The dog without provocation what ever trotted up the street and seized Capt. DeRosset on the calf of the lee. tearing his trousers but not reachiug the flesh. He immediately thrust out his hand to frighten the animal away but the dog seized it violently, biting him on -the fleshy part of the hanp just between the thumb and fore finger, two teeth having penetrated from above and two below. Capt DeRosset immediately went to the office of Dr. W. D. McMillan. where the wound was cauterized and dressed. Although it is contended that the dog was not a rabid one, Policeman Bowen, who was on that beat, gave chase and overtook him at the corner of Water and Dock streets where he shot him through the neck, though this did not stop him. Policeman J. A. Martin on the adjoining beat, joined in the chase and at Front and W rig hi streets the pursuing party was reinforced by Mr. Joe Everett, watch man at Kidder mill, who -was on horseback. Taking officer Bowen's pistol he fired at the fleeing canine several times and at length had to fire three loads into him from a double barrelled shot gun before bringing him down. The dog was first reported yes terday morning at or near the corner of Seventh and Nixon streets, where he is said to have bitten another dog. THANKSaiYINQ FOOT BALL QAMES.

Yesterday's Sesslos of the Ultnlnil Court Oraad Jary Made Report and Recom meodatloas Nnmfcer of Petty Cases Disposed Of. The most important case docketed for tril at the term of the. Circuit Criminal Court now in session here, is that of Tony Swain for entering the apartments of Mrs. W.T. 0'Neill,refer ence to which has been made fre quently in these columns. The grand jury returned a true bill in the case Thursday and yesterday afternoon's session was entirely taken up in hearing testimony of witnesses and argument of counsel in same. The evidence waa practically the same as that given in at the preliminary ex amination before Justice Northrop, except in the very essential point, that Mrs. O'Neill at yesterday's trial posi tively identified Swain as the man who entered the apartments on the night in question. Mrs. O'Neill ex plained that before the charge was amended by the erand iurv from burglary, in which instance if the de fendant had been convicted, he would have been hanged, she probably was overguarded in her statements, the case involving, as it did, human life. Since the bill was amended by the grand jury to enter ing a dwelling without burglarious intent, however, she said that she could positively identify Swain as the man who entered the room. The pen alty in the latter instance is fixed by statute at from four months to ten years imprisonment, either in the county jail or in the State peniten tiary. The case was vigorously prosecuted by Solicitor Duffy and J. O. Carr, Esq., and the defence was ably and ingeniously conducted by W. J. Bel lamy and Herbert McClammy, Esqs., who made eloquent and convincing appeals to the jury in behalf of their client. Tne case went to the jury after the fortual charge by Judge Battle at about 6.30 o'clock, and up to the hour of going to press this morning they had not agreed upon a verdict. They came out a few minutes after retiring and asked of Judge Battle what aspect the failure of the defendant to testify in his own behalf would place upon the case. Judge Battle enlightened them upon this point, and they again retired with the result as stated. The jury is composed as follows: Capt. R O. Orrell, Messrs. R. S Mur ray, E. T. Mason, W, V. Hudson. J. H. Rourk, T. J. Ashley, J. A Mote.lZ V. Croom, W. J. Spooner, J. B Hew lett, J. H. Huhn and Walter Melton. The following is the official docket of cases disposed of yesterday morn ing: M. Greenblot. assault and battery with deadly weapon: not guilty and on motion of counsel for defence, no tice waa served upon Hiram Moore to show cause why he should not be marked as prosecutor and be taxed with the costa. Chas. Williams, resisting an arrest; guilty. Peyton Williams, larceny; con tinued and defendant held in bond of $25 cash. Willie xopp, assault and cattery with deadly weapon; not guilty. I Breece, K. oellers and w. wis ing, distuming religious meeting; con tinued. Julia Murray, larceny; deferred for State witnesses. George Roonck, assault and battery with deadly weapon; recognized each day of the term. A. Beattv, cruelty to ammais, guil ty ; four months in jau. Tbe Oraad Jury's Report, The grand jury concluded its work about noon and was discharged. The : following report as to the various ; county institutions was reaa ana placed on file: His Honor, Dossey Battle Judge East - em ui&irxei unminui tsuri. We have the honor to present the following report. We have had before us 67 bills of indictment sent to us by the solicitor aoa iouna o ime um, bills and have returned one bill trona failure to get the witnesses oerore us though capiases were issued in every such case. , We visited the jau and iouna tne building in good repair. The building was found very much over-crowded with prisoners. Its capacity to ac commodate comfortably is limitea to 40 or 50, whereas there are more tnan 60 prisoners now confioed therein, the result being very great discomfort to these poor creatures, we iouuu mo prisoners generally complaining of being very cold, there being no fire in the furnace. One very respeciane young woman was evidently suirer- Ing from this cause and said sne naa had a severe emu. ma wo uu- i derstand was not con tinea on any charge of crime, but merely for fail- i ure to pay some court cosu. iuo jnino arrangements in the jail im- i Dressed us as very inadequate and even innumane, irj , 'y doubt to the unusually crowded con dition of the jail. Many of the pris oners are compelled to sleep on tbe cold and hard cement floors, with no other covering tnan an imenor blanket. The unnappy creatures mu suffer from such discomiort. now when it is remembered tnat many oi thesed prisoners have not been con victed of any crime and hence under the genius of our benign laws must be held to be innocent until proven guilty t Vi torture of sucn discom- J ort is inexcusable in a county prof es- sinr to be Christian. We therefore recommend, most re spectfully, that the officer lncbarge oi the jail shall be immediately furnished with 15 thick woollen blankets and 15 hammocks. , . In this connection we desire to state that we do not regard the jailor as wanting in consideration lor nis pns n-W- u kll A oners, lie inionns u peatedly asked lor aaaiuonai Dianuw WILMINGTON, N; 0., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER and hammocks, but heretofore un successfully. He expresses himself as every way anxious to minister to tnsir comfort. In the basement kitchen of the jail we found a very offensive odor arising . frem a vessel therein filled with slops and garbage. Nothing, has been done as yet toward puting prisoners to work on the public roads ol the county but the Chairman of the County Commis sioners assures us he is now making arrangements to effect this and these he thinks will be perfected by the first proximo. . We inspected the Court House building and find it in fairly cleanly and good condition save only that the bottom step of the front door was sunk about one inch from the proper position. We approve the report of the com mittee who visited and inspected the County Home. Respectfully Submitted, - JOHIT WlLDEB ATKINSOW, Foreman. The committee who were appointed to visit the County Home, made its report as follows and the same was filed with the regular report: To the Honorable Foreman and Grand Jury of the November Term of Criminal Court for New Han over Count. Gentlemen: We. the committee aonointed bv the aforesaid body to inspect the New Hanover County Home, do herewith beg to present this their report of said institution. We find the Home has now 25 or 26 inmates in its care, and with one ex ception. Wm. Moore, found them all faring very comfortably. This man who is a negro, needs prompt and im mediate attention. We found him lying upon the floor and complaining of being in great pain. Another patient, Henry Middle ton, an insane inmate, needs clothine and claims the only clothing he has had since, put at the Home has been fur nished him by his mother. We would suggest that the superintendent of the Home be instructed to furnish the inmate, both male and female, with more and warmer clothing, especially as winter is coming and from personal observation ib inmates as a rule are poorly clad. We especially instructed ourselves in regard to the focd fur nished the inmates but found, them all very well pleased and no com plaints made regarding the fooc. In fact each and every one freely spoke cf the kind aud humane treat ment they received at the bands of the superintendent and his wife. We would respectfully call atten tion to repairs that are needed to be made at once to the out-houses, one of which is liable to tumble over at any time; also the drain or open ditch into which all night soil is dumped should be open and in place of allowing the open sewer in the form of a ditch, we suggest boxes being used and these at regular intervals cleaned. The stockade we found rather in need of the scrub brush and water and the prisoners' bedding is not so good as it snould be. Tbe buildings and premises as a whole were clean and in good condition. Yours, respectfully, W. A. French, Jr., Secretary for Committee. J. M. Branch, B. F. Penny, Committee. Will Probably Adjourn To-day. There are now only a few very trivial cases on the docket for disposal and it is probable that these will be taken up to day and Judge Battle will be abl to adjourn the term this after noon. COTTON AND NAVAL STORES. Comparative Statemest ef Receipts for the Week and Past Crop Year. The following comparative state ment of the weekly and part crop year receipts of cotton and naval stores at the port of Wilmington was posted yesterday afternoon at the Produce Exchange: Week ended November 24th, 1899 Cotton, 7.703 bales; spirits, 438 casks; rosin, 2.566 barrels; tar, 1,134 barrels; crude, 328 barrels. Week ended November 24th, 1898 Cotton, 14 605 bales; spirits. 542 casks; rosin, 4.808 barrels; tar, 877 barrels; crude, 169 barrels. Crop year to November 24th, 1899 Cotton, 160,917 bales; spirits, 24.087 casks, rosin, 95,801 barrels; tar, 37,887 barrels; crude, 8,781 barrels. Crop year to Nov. 24th, 1893 Cot ton, 208,408 bales ; spirits, 22,517 casks; rosin, 108.317 barrels; tar, ae,44 Dar rels; crude, 8,027 barrels. A noticeable feature of the state ment is the remarkable falling off in the current week's receipts of cotton from those of the same period last year. But few more than half the number of bales were received during the week than during the correspond ing time last year, and in the matter of crop year receipts the port is thus far nearly 70,000 bales short of last year. With the same conditions prevailing elsewhere the short crop for the world is apparent. River Shipplsg Notes. The steamboat A P. Hurt arrived yesterday morning at 10 o clock from Fayetteville and returned yesterday afternoon. The steamer Seabright is now mak ing three trips a week to Little. River, S. C, and points this side instead of two as heretofore. She cleared on one of the usual trips early this morning. OapL Sanders reports that most of the ittle coasting sailing vessels that were beached during the storm have been launched and have resumed their reg ular trips. Tbe Crack Company. Wilmington is justly proud of the Wilmington Light Infantry, and the host of friends of that .organization will read with pleasure what is said of the company by Uol. F. P. Hob good, Jr., Inspector General of the State Guard. Col. Hobgood writtes as follows to Capt. O. H. White, commander of the company: s "Reports to hand. I congratulate you and your company. You have made the best showing, all in all, in the BUte Guard." m r - - i THE TEMPLE FAIR. The Fifth Night of. the Masons' Great Entertainment Scores Another Success. NEXT LARGEST ATTENDANCE. It Was "Comaodery Night" and Pisotsgc net Commandery Was Oat ia a Body. Children's Free Matinee This Af ternooo Features To-night. Last night closed the fifth day of the Masonic Fair, and it was one of the most successful of the series of nights. At the door the number of tickets taken in was 1,354 for the afternoon and night. It was the second night in point of attendance. It was Plantagenet Commandery night, and the Commandery Booth consequently did a flourishing busi ness. Eminent Commander Dr. W. E Storm had Plantagenet Commandery out in a body, the Knights having met at St. John's Hall and marched in a body to the Temple. At the-Com mandery Booth there was much inter est in closing up the shares for a very handsome lamp. Mrs. Berry Gleaves fell heir to it. A handsome basket of fruit was awarded Mr. Charles.. L. Taylor. Orient Lodge Booth always had a crowd of admirers about it, and a fine night's business was done. The beau tiful youag ladies at this booth attract a great deal of attention and the visi tors greatly admired them. The Shrine booth is another that is celebrated for its beautiful young la dies. It is surrounded nightly with admiring crowds and its receipts are always large. Next Tuesday night is Shrine Night," and then this booth will be in its glory. The Gypsy tent is on8 of the most popular features of the fair. The pretty fortune tellers attract much ad miration, and they are kept busy re vealing the future by cards and palm-' istry. No visitor to the fair should fail to see the Gypsies. The Flower booth had another fine patronage last night. The valuable palms and ferns are very desirable and are being readily disposed of. A handsome palm fell to the share of Mr. W. A. Caldwell, of Richmond, Mr. D. McEachern got a fine fern, and a basket oi fruit was won by Miss Laura B. Weill. At Concord Chapter booth last night a nandsome mantel cioce was dis posed of. The share of Mr. H. M. McCall won it. Last night St. John's Lodg. Wil mington Lodge and Concord Chapter booths did a flourishing business. The country store, the lemonade booth, and the candy booth also held their own in popular favor. The dance hall was more popular than ever last night. The playing by Mr. Bernard Williamson on the hand some JNo. 3 MatnusecK piano greatly entertained great throngs of people. At 10 o'clock the dancing began and the floor was covered with couples till mid night. The immense business done at the fair is supervised by Col. Noble F. Martin, the manager, and his office in rear ot tne uommandery room is a busy scene from the time the fair opens every alternoon till it closes at midnight. He keeps everything well in hand, and the systematic manner in which everything goes along is as tonishing. To day from 3 P. M. till 6 P. M., there will be a free matinee for chil dren of 12 years of age and under. All other visitors will, of course, be admitted as usual. To-night will be "Odd Fellow's Night," and it is expected that there will be a large attendance of the fra ternity. The supper booth will be closed at 10 -30 P. M , so all who expect to take refreshments should bear this in mind. Col. Martin requests that it be announced that the hour for the closing of the Fair to-night will be 11 P. M. It should not be forgotten that the city lot donated by Mr. W. M. Cu ai ming, the real estate dealer, will be sold by auction to night. A STRINGENT "DOG ORDINANCE." Passed by Board of Aldermeo at a Meet log Held Yesterday Afternoon: A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held early yesterday afternoon to consider the advisability of adopting an ordinance restricting the running at large of dog on the streets, in view of the prevalence of so much hydrophobia, which is said to be pretty general with the canine tribe just at this time. The police at first made a modest request that owners kindly keep their animals ch lined up for a while, at least until the epidemic has abated, but this rdOiuest was in so many in stances disregarded that the ordinance printed in the Star's advertising colums this morning had to be adopted. The ordinance goes into effect at once and is in force for a period of thirty days after adoption. The provisions of the ordinance will appear from a reading of the advertisement. Death at Whlteville. A correspondent of the Star writes under date of yesterday as follows. Little Arline, daughter of Mr and Mrs. C. G. Richardson and grand daughter of Capt. V. V. Richardson, of this place, died nere yesieraay morning at one o'clock, her birthday, aged 3 years. She was a bright and lovely child and the large gathering at the funeral attested the sympathy of the community. 25, 1899. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. E. N. Cooke, of Chicago, is a guest at The Orton.

A very highly appreciative audience assembled last evening at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium to hear Miss Jean Howison's reading of Ian MacLaren's Beside the Bonny Brier Bush."; Miss Howison is a reader of extra s ordinary accomplishments, and her interpretation of Dr. Watson's de lightful production is superb. Besides being a person of fine elocutionary gifts and dramatic force, she is a Scot herself, and so her reading is ideal and unsurpassed from all points of view. Her audience last night was charmed with the sketches she gave from the Bonny Brier Bush, and her reading was highly appreciated for the artistic manner in which it was done. The fre quent and hearty applause she re ceived indicated how well pleased were those whose privilege it was to hear her.
