'ASSESSMENT CASE. . - . - Before Standing Master Shep- j herd in the Railroad Tax Valuation Matter. HEARD IN U. S. COURT ROOM. Officers ! Privata Corporation Refnsc .to Pernlt aa Examiaatloa of -Their Books-The Matter Referred to Jmitt Shaoatoa. The hearing of evidence in the rail road tax assessment cases, reference to which was made in the Stab yes terday, was begun yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in. theTJnited States Court room before Hon. Jamea K. Shepherd, Standing Master of the U. S. Circuit Court of Equity, whi:h court is pre sided over by Judge Simonton, who will pass upon the matter of whether the Corporation Commission ia assess ing the properties of the A. O. L., S A. L. and Southern railroad syi leans in the State at a higher valuation for taxation than other property in the State ia assessed. The railroad com Dan Lea are repre sented by Messrs. George Bountree. of Wilmington; R. O. Burton, of Ba- Ieigh; Charles Price, of Salisbury, and Maj. John D. Shaw, of Bocking- The . Corporation Commis sion is represented by Hons.. H. G. Connor, of Wilson, and jam. H. Pou of Raleigh. Hon. .Franklin McNeill, chairman of the defendant 'Corpora tion Commission, is also in attendance upon the bearing, as are also quite a number of other -attorneys, -who are guarding the interests of several pri vale corporations, the officers of which are summoned as witnesses. Miss Stella Shri-r ia engaged as Court steno grapher. The complainants opened their case by introducing as a witness Mr. W. H. Biddle, Register of Deeds of New Han over county, wno tea tinea as to toe valuation of property of individuals and private corporations in the county. He referred frequently to the record and admitted that the County Commis sioners had in many instances reduced the valuation of property as fixed by the assessing board. Caps. A. I. DeRoaset, one of the list takers, was also examined as to the valuation of property in New Hanover county, and at 1 o'clock an adjourn ment was taken until 3 o'clock in the afternoon In the afternoon Mr. J. W. Nor wood, president of the Atlsntic Na tional Bank, testified as to the valua tion of property in the county and al so as to the value of certain railroad stock owned by him. In the latter point some technicality arose and the record was arranged for presentation to Judge S imonton as to the relevan cy of certain questions asked the wit ness regarding the comparative valua tion of properties in which he is in terested. The next witness was Capt. Henry Savajre, secretary and treasurer of the Acme Manufacturing Company, and it was sought to prove by him that the property of his corporation is not valued for taxation at more than seventy-five per cent, of its actual value, while that of railroad corpora tions, as a matter of fact, is assessed at full valuation. The order for- Capt Savage's appear ance enjoined him to bring for the ex amination of the court the books of the com pa y, showing the eroes earn ings and net promts of the corporation. He was asked the usual preliminary questions and upon a request for the books of the company, accord ing to advice of counsel, he re fused to produce them. The net and gross earnings of the company are wanted by the court to assist them in determining the actual value of the Acme Mar nfacturing Company's plant, as it would be valued at more or leas in proportion to the profit accru ing from its operation. .The question was argued for tne testifying witness by Messrs. U. Bryan, Eueene 8. Martin, of this city. and Cameron Morrison, of Rocking ham, who are attorneys for several corporations, the managers of which have received like summon to appear with their books, to which the attor neys for witnesses object on the ground that the net and gross earn ings of the private corporations are irrevelant and incompetent as testi mony and that if relevant and compe tent, it is depriving the witnesses of valued property rights without due process of law; that tne. pri vacy and secrecy of their business affairs are yaluable and protected un der provisions of the constitution. In formal argument upon the question at point was had and an adjournment was taken until 11 o'clock this morning, when the record and objection to the duces tecum will be arranged for pre sentation to Judge 6imonton, who will pass upon the constitutionality of Ihe requirement. After this arrange ment is made it is very probable that a recess will be Uken until a decision is handed down by Judge Simonton upon the question. ' A test case of the Acme Manufac turing Company will be made to de termine the right of the Court to re quire of it the books referred to, and as there are numerous other private corporations, who have received simi lar summons to that of the secretary of the Acme Company, the attorneys for all will join hands to confront such action if possible.

Majority of Brunswick Delegates , Instructed to Vote for Ire dell Meares, Esq. THE CONVENTION YESTERDAY Lirf e Oatnerlor at Lockwood's Felly - Three Oat of Poor Delefstes Are AfsJasi Morton Aycock and Waddell Eadorsed. Wilm'ngton's delegation which at tended the Brunswick county con vention at Lockwood's Folly, yester day, returned last night. ! Much interest was manifested in the meeting, as upon the occasion it was known that the Brunswick Democrats would take final action upon the State Senatorial question, which has become quite interesting, as between Capt George L. Morton, who was nomi nated at the New Hanover Democratic primaries last "Thursday, and Mr. Iredell Meares, who is also a candidate before the convention. The action of the convention is best told in the fol lowing special telegram, which was received last night from the Star's special correspondent at Southport: Sotjthfobt, N. C, March 28. The Brunswick County Democratic Con vention met at Lockwood's Folly to day for the purpose of electing dele gates to the State Convention, also the District Senatorial Convention, com posed of Brunswick and New Hanover. Of the four delegates to the Sena torial Convention three were in structed to vote for Iredell Meares and one for George L. Morton, both of New Hanoyer. The delegates to the State Conven tion were instructed to vote for Cbar'es B. Aycock for Governor, and to vote for an endorsement of Hon. A. M. Waddell, of New Hanover, for the United States Senate. There was a very large gathering at the conventiqn and everything passed off quietly. Both Mr. Meares and Capt Morton addressed tbe convention and set forth their respective claims. Mr. Meares contended that according to the State plan of organization the two counties comprising the tenth district had in hand the nomination of a can didate; that each candidate had a right to representation in the convention in proportion to the vote as received in the primaries. He further set forth his claims as embodied in a letter addressed to Brunswick Democrats, which was published several days ago in these columns. Capt Morton, in his speech to the convention, contended that he was the regular nominee of the Demo cratic party in New Hanover county, as was evidenced by the result of the primaries held last Thursday, and that as this was the year, according to a long established custom, for New Hanover to name the candidate, that he was entitled to the endorsement of the convention. The naming of delegates to the Sen atorial Convention to be held here was then entered into with the result as given in the special telegram print ed above. Brunswick is entitled to a represen tation of 16 votes in the Senatorial convention, which will be called to meet here later and New Hanover county is entitled to a representation of 45. According to the instruction given the Brunswick delegation, there fore, Mr. Meares will have 12 votes of their number and Mr. Morton 4. The total vote of this convention is 61 and it is therefore appsrent thst 31 votes is required to give a msjority for either candidate. The contest will now snift to new nanover, anu ii will he a question as to which of the candidates will receive enough of the strength accorded New Hanover to make his majority certain. -A friend of Capt Morton, who re turned last night, stated that while there was a large crowd in attendance upon the Brunswick convention, there were two townships Waccamaw and Northwest which were not repre sented at all.

Judge Dossey Battle, of the East ern District Circuit Criminal Court, died yesterday morning at 7:40 o'clock at his home at Rocky Mount, N. C, af ter a two-week's illness with la grippe and heart complications. The news came early yesterday morning in the nature of a private tel egram to a friend in the city and; it was received with unfeigned sorrow by a wide circle of Judge Battle's' friends and acquaintances here. He had been appointed to hold court in this city March 12th,f but the term had to be continued on account of his sickness, which was announced in these columns 2 at the time. Later," it was reported- that Judge Battle was doing well and on the road to a rapid recovery.

His term would have expired one year from April. His funeral will be held with Ma sonic honors this afternoon at 4 o'clock from his residence at Rocky Mount AT THE OPERA HOUSE. "Tbe Christian" Presented Last Night to a Small A sole ice A Good Play Well Played. . Wilmington theatre goers enjoyed a rare treat at Unr "Opera House last night in the excellent dramatization of Hall Caine's novel, "The Christian." It was the par excellence of theatrical productions this season, and was pow erful, masterly and elegant While "The Christian," in its dra matic version did not adhere strictly to the novel, it lost nothing by the de parture, and was clear and sequential throughout The scenery, stage fix tures and costumes were in keeping with the situations and were superb in their completeness. The actors were on the whole very good and clever. Miss Effie Ellsler, as Glory Quaule, was (while in striking contrast to Viola Allen, the creator of this role) at times excellent and gave several bits of real good acting, showing great skill in her clever changes from the sublime to the ridiculous and her wonderful emo tional power. Of the men, Edward Emory was clearly in. the lead, portraying Lord Robert Ure, and acting with so much precision and exactness as to prove himself an actor of great strength and merit J. M. Colville made a good John Storm, and spoke his lines with force and earnestness. It was a good show and certainly deserved a much larger patronage than it received. The Opera'House management lost considerable on the production, as the crowd present fell far short of the guarantee. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. W. T. Moore, of Char lotte, is. registered at The Orton.

This is the suit, it will be remembered, brought by officers, directors and em ployes of the American Tobacco Com pany, who are also large stockholders in the Blackweli Company, to have a receiver appointed for the Blackweli Company -and close up its business. The suit is brought againsthe Black well Durham Tobacco Company, and the minority stockholders in it and is based on an interview given out bj Msj. Guthrie, one of the minority stockholders, in which he declared his intention to ask the Legislature to re peal the charter of the Blackweli Com pany, on the ground that it was a trust. As soon as the interview ap peared the president, vice president secretary, treasurer and several direc tors ' and employes of the American Tobacco Company, went before Judge Simonton at Charleston and asked that a receiver be appointed. , The petition was granted, and P. S. Hill, secretary of the American Tobaoco Company, was named as temporary receiver, and April 17th, at Charleston, was fixed for hearing argument as to whether the appointment of a receiver should be made permanent In the papers filed to-day Major Guthrie makes answer only for him self, and bases his defence on the fol lowing grounds : First, that the court has no jurisdiction; second, that if it had jurisdiction, it ought not to grant the relief, for ! the reason that plaintiffs have come into court actuated i byt an improper and illegal purpose on their part, to merge the Blackweli Durham To bacco Company with the American Tobacco Company, in order to create a monopoly in the smoking tobacco business, in violation of the constitu tion of North Carolina, and contrary to the genius of a free State; third, that the Blackweli Durham Tobacco Company being a solvent going cor poration, chartered under the laws of North Carolina, the only competent authority to repeal the charter, dis solve the corporation and wind up its affairs is vested in the General Assem bly of North Carolina, under article eight section 1 of the State constitu tion.
