So far as was possible, the ' work of the Superior court - was - finished up yesterday and an adjournment was taken at 3 o'clock for the term. Judge Brown left last evening for his home at Washington. N. C. . Yesterday's session brought a ter mination to the long and tedious case of the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company against Mr. J. P. Kirvan, of Darlington county, S. C, reference to which has been made in these col umns. . The verdict of the jary was in favor of the defendant and the plain tiff promptly took an appeal to the Sapreme j Court. The morning session was taken up. entirely in hearing argument of coun sel and shortly, before 1 o'clock Judge Brown delivered an able charge to the jury setting forth that the mat ter was altogether a .question of fact. In March, 1893, it is alleged that J. P. Kirvan executed a lien upon his cot ton crop to the plaintiff company to secure the payment of $3,298 due for fertilisers, the same due and payable October 1st, 1893. It is alleged farther that the defendant J. P. Kirvan sold to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son oue hundred bales of cotton and that the proceeds are now in the hands of Messrs. 8prunt & Son,-pending the outcome of the case in question. It fJ alleged by the defendant, however, that the cotton or proceeds thereof, is not the property of J. P. Kirvan, but that of bis brother, E. E. Kirvan. The issues -ubmitted to the jury were: (1) Is J. P. Kirvan indebted to plaintiff, and if so, in what sum t" (2) -Is the property levied upon in the detinue proceedings and in the hands of Alexaoder Sprunt A: Son the property of J. P. Kirvan r (3) "What is the value of the property t ' The jury having answered "no" to the second issue, involving the owner ship of the property, the other issues became obsolete and were not an swered. Judgments were granted in the cases of S P. McNair vs. Sallie Bizx-fll and Junius Davis, receiver, vs. Sarah L. Gilbert. Non suits were entered in the cases of L. -A. Carr vs. W. A. Porterfield and Bruce & Cook vs. W.

Bradley owned twenty shares of stock of the Wilmington ana Raleigh Railroad Company. The name of compaov was afterwards changed to W. & W. R. R Co. This defeodant, Mrs. E. C.

Jewett, during her life and upon her death for ine use and benefit of such children as he may leave surviving- her' On December 1st, 1854, Chss. W. Bradley and James A. Bradley, as ex ecutors of El s O. Bradley's will, transferred said twenty shares of stock on books of the company's corpora tion "to Chas. W. Bradley, trustee, to Lucy A. Jewett." New certificate of tock issued accoraioaiy ia wow words by defendant's officer. In July 1869 C. W. Bradley, trus tee, transferred the said stock to Lucy A. Jewett absolutely.

POLYOGT The Streets and Wharves Committee of , the Board of Aldermen . held a special meeting yesterday afternoon at 3:15. o'clock at the office of the chair man, Alderman Hugh MacRae, in the Masonic Temple. i " Rock for Street . Work. The committee decided to commence work on the city's quarrying project at once, and employed as superinten dent of the quarries Mr. J. P. Jones, who has been track-lajer for the Wil mington Street Railway. 1 It will, be remembered that upon recommendation of the Streets and Wharves Committee, the Board of Ai dermen at; its last meeting authorized the committee to lease from Mr. W. A. Wright the privilege of quarrying limestone or shell rock oh his proper- ty lying aloag the upper waters or Burnt Mill creek. From the point where the; creek crosses the Newbern road at the National cemetery to a point just east of and near the Delgado mil!, -limestone rock crops out at various places along the foot of the sand ridge running down to the creek. It is believed that excavations will prove that an ample supply of rock can be obtained : for macadamising the streets and possibly for the county roads, the improvement of which the Board of County Commissioners has in band. Bv Monday. Mr. Jones will have some : hands at work along the creek to exploit the best locality for a quarry. It is beeved that the rock is there, for when several wells were driven at the Delgado mills recently, a stratum of rock from eight to fifieen feet in thickness was struck in the ridge at a depth of from 23 to 28 fest W ork to be Rushed. " Alderman MacRae states that if the exploration for the rock realizes the expectations of the committee, quite a number of bands will be employed and the work wUl be rushed. The steam rook crasher, the traction road roller and other road building machinery have been ordered, and when the outfit arrives it is proposed to go ahead with the permanent improvement of . the atreeta. ' ' ! : ' A System of Surface Dralnaje. At the meeting of the committee yesterday afternoon, the matter of a sanitary surface drainage system was also talked over.
