The dockets of the city and magis trate courts yesterday contained quite a number of cases, ranging from at tempt to murder to drunk and disor derly. In'the city court Mayor Waddell dis posed of sixteen cases, all of them for drunk and disorderly conduct except two. A case against David Ja cobs, Jr., colored, for stabbing with a knife Adrian Henry, was called but was continued till this morn ing. The cutting occurred Christmas day at Third and Surry streets. It ap pears that the two got into a row, and that Jacobs, who is a one armed man, drew a knife on his antagonist Henry ran but Jacobs pursued him and cut him in the head and shoulder, inflict ing wounds of no very serious nature. Jam' s Hill, colored, was bound over to the Criminal Court in three cases assault and battery with a deadly weapon, in two counts, and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. He was committed to jail in default of $350 bail in each case. On Saturday night at 8.30 o'clock Hill was drunk and was cursing and using ' indecent language in Mr.. F. P. Lamb's saloon, on Camp bell and McRae streets. Archie Parker, an old colored man who is a porter for Mr. Lamb, reminded Hill that Mr. Laxb's family lived overhead and that he must behave. He kept up his disre putable conduct, whereupon Mr. Lamb ordered him out of the store. He re fused to go and got into an altercation. with Mr. Lamb, who succeeded in ejecting him from the store. In a short while Hill returned and had something under his coat which Mr. Limb took for a stick. He asked Mr. Lamb if he (Hill) had not always treated him right Mr. Lamb replied "ye3, ex cept to night," and then tho negro drew a shot gun from under his coat and snapped it at dr. Lamb two or three times. It is supposed that in drawing the gun, the cap fell off. Ar chy Parker tried to take the gun front Hill and got him into the street, but failed to get the gun. Hill then went to the rear door and fired into the store at Parker. Parker ran out after him and then Hill fired a pistol twice at him, the weapon being so cloeas to burn bis face. Luckily the balls miss ed their mark, and in the struggle Parker got the pistol. Ssrgeant J. R, Davis was notified and arrested Hill. . Justice Borneman yesterday tried a number of cases, but none of them wasof a serious nature. Justice Fowler also tried a couple of cases. A CHRISTMAS FEAST FOR THE UNFORTUNATE. Kisd Hesrted Citizens Caase the Inmates at the Coaoty Home to Rejoice A Good Time at the Jail. The inmates at the County Home and County Work House have eyery reason to be thankful for this Christ mas. A kind hearted gentleman of this city -somehow or other remem bered that there were people who were not in a condition to have the good things that fall to the share of some, and he handed to Col. Roger Moore, chairman of the board of county commissioners, . $10 with which to give the inmates of the Home a Christmas dinner. Others caught the spirit and the result was that the poor and insane, and the prisoners as well, were given a sumptuous feast. Capt Wm. P. Oldham, secretary of the finance committee of the commis sioners, went out to take some of the good things, and he says he never be held such a store of food in all his life. The feast consisted of turkeys, old North Carolina hams, beef, pork, cakes, pies, oranges and apples, etc. While at the County Home he went through all the departments, aad yes terday he told a Stab representative that it was touching to hear the ex pressions of deep gratitude and thank fulness of the women and men. They breathed blessings on those who do nated the feast and he says it would have done the givers good to have heard how they expressed the feeling in their feasts, The prisoners, thirty-two in number, were also full of joy, and for the enter tainment of several persons they sang, executed the most grotesque cake walk, clog dancing and were in high glee. Capt Oldham states that he did not intend to remain long when he went to the Home but he just couldn't get away. While there, Capt Oldham's daughter.Miss Mary, and Superintend ent Chad wick's daughter played the organ and added to the enjoyment Through the kindness of Sheriff Walter G. MacRae and Jailor W. W. King, the prisoners in jail also had a Christm s feast of turkey and trim mings and good things generally. The officials didn't want this item to get into the papers but it leaked out in spite of them. Deputy Superior Court Clerk.

Received Iijories in Fight TbaoksfivlBg Day Which Probably Caused His Death Snnday Coroner's Inquest. ' Sam Campbell, a colored man about 25 years of age, who resides in Price's alley between Fifth and Sixth and Church and Castle streets, died Sun day night and there were circum stances surrounding his death which made a coroner's inquest necessary to determine the causa of the same. The only witness examined at the inquest, which was held yesterday af ternoon by Dr. Bichard J. Price, was Campbell's mother, who testified that on Thanksgiving night her son was drunk and went down in that section of the city known as "The Hol low," where he became engaged in a quarrel with a bar-tender, which end ed in his being struck cither with a bear bottle or hickory stick. He re turned to his home, resumed his work on the following more ing, but in a short time was forced to confine him self to his room and send for a physi cian, who treated him for fever rather than for concussion of the brain. Several days after receiving the blow the negro sufferred a hemorrhage of blood from the nostrils and Dr. Mc Millan was sent for, and after making the proper diagnosis of the case Bent him to the City Hospital, where later he became . demented and was sent back to his home. He died Sunday night, as stated, and the facts as recited above reached Dr. Price, who at once empanelled a jury consisting of Capt. J. M. McGowan (foreman), George Harriss (clerk), Hr B. Peschau, J. Dl Stanland and J, B. Cooper, to inquire into the cause of the death. The hearing will be resumed this morning at 10 o'clock in Justice McGowan's office, where other witnesses can be summoned by Constable Sheehan. Late yesterday afternoon Drs. Price and McMillan began an autopsy, which will be concluded this morning before the jury of inquest meets again to hear the remaining testimony. No arrests have been made as yet. THE CHRISTMAS GAME. Neither Wlltnisf tos or Fayetteville Scored in Foot Bail Contest Played Here Monday The Line-Up. The Fayetteville and Wilmington foot-ball teams met on the gridiron at Hilton Park on Christmas afternoon and played a beautifnl game from start to finish. Despite the inclement weather a large crowd gathered and throughout the entire game exhibited great interest and enthusiasm. Neither side scored although Fay- ettevilles goal was endangered more than once; the home boys at one time having advaneed the ball to Fayette - ville's 12 yard line. The game was characterized chiefly by punting and line rushing, there being few oppor tunities for end runs owing to the spectators crowding on the field. Fayetteville played a strong vigorous game throughout but was unable to withstand the fierce rushes of Bellamy, Sinclair and Hatch. Both sides fumbled frequently and but for that Wilmington would have scored a touch do wn in the second half. For Fayetteville, MacRae J. and Martin played the best game, the rush ing of the former and the tackling of the latter being particularly noticea ble. With the exception of a little slugging in the first half, the game was clean and honest The Fayetteville boys are a jolly good crowd and par up a clean game. They are all gentle men and Wilmington hopes to meet them again. The line up was as follows: Wilmington. Fayettevilli!. Hergenrother C Watson. Brown L. G Fetzer. 8avage B. G Cromartie.
