THE SUPERIOR COURT
Will Be Convened To-morrow
Morning by Judge Fred
Moore.
WILL BE TWO WEEKS TERM.
More Cases of General Interest Than la
Mssy Years Before Damage Snits
Are la the Majority Joror
That Will Serve.
The September term of New Han
over Superior Court, Judge Fred
Moore, of Asheville, presiding, will be
convened to-morrow morning at 10
o'clock and will with very little doubt
continue for two weeks-as quite a
number of important suits are on the
trial docket for disposal.
Judge Moore will likely get here to
day. He is said to be, while one of
the youngest, the most popular judge
on the bench in North Carolina. Re
cently the bar of Pender county
joined in a petition to the Governor to
send Judge Moore to them to hold a
special term of Pender court which
will likely be held in December.
Cases first on the docket are those
of Lloyd C. McKoy, of Brunswick
county, against the Carolina Central
Railroad, in which he asks for dam
ages for the burning over of certain
lands, alleging that the flames were
started from sparks from defendant
company's locomotive. Tuesday the
case of Laura G. Hales against Capt
J. W. Harper will be heard, as will also
the Wallerstein, Klee & Co. case.
On Wednesday the case of Mrs.
Strauss against the city, which has
been brought over from term to term,
will likely be tried. Stab readers will
remember that the plaintiff as execu
trix, brought the action to recover $25,-
000 damages on account of the death
of her husband from injuries alleged
to have been sustained on account of
the negligence of the city in allowing
an excavation to be left in the night
time without the proper safeguards to
pedestrians. The other cases set for
Wednesday are B. F. Penny against
the W., C. & A. R. R. Co., and W. T.
Dortch against W:T. Bannerman, et aL
Mr. Penny was shot by a negro retreat
ing from a train on the W..C.& A. Rail
road at Brinkley in the early Fall of
1898. He alleges carelessness on the
part of the railroad and asks for
damages. There are also several other
damage suits of more or less moment
for the first week.
On Monday of the second week will
come probably the most important
damage suits of the term. They are
brought by Mr. Jos. C. Shepard, Jr.
and wife, against the W. & W. R. R.
Co. for damages sustained several
months ago in an accident at the cross
ing of the Castle Haynes county road
and the Wilmington & Weldon rail
road. Damage in the sum of $35,000
is asked in each case.
Following are the jurors summoned
for the term :

THE GRAPE HULL ORDINANCE.
Seteral Arrests Yesterday Had a Tendency
to Abate the Nuisance.
Offenders against the ordinance
prohibiting the throwing of grape
hulls, banana peels and other "slip
pery material" upon the sidewalks of
the city are Just now receiving es
pecial attention by the police authori
ties and the timely warning of acting
Mavor W. E. Springer appears not to
have been received in good faith by at
least three of those who succumbed to
the the temptation yesterday of buy
ing a quart of the luscious scupper-
nongs which are being "cried" about
the market house at "five cents a
quart."
Gffioer Martin took in the first
offender, Henry Wells, colored, yes
terdav and he was made to pay the cost'
in the municipal court, having profess
ed ignorance of the law relative to his
offence. Las evening Officer Frank
George "scooped in" two more un
fortunates at the Front street market
They were Moses Jacobs and Joe
Bryant, both colored.
Third Cargo of Cotton.
Massi. Alexander SDrunt & Son
yesterday consigned the third steam
ship cargo of cotton lor ioreign export
from this port this season. It consisted
nf a rko hales, was shipped to Bremnn
and' went on the Norwegian steamship
FaUc, which was loaded in tue remark
ably short space of six days.
Two other cotton steamers came in
yes
terday, both to Messrs. Sprunt &

making a total of four now m
Thoiethat came in yesterday

were the Wingrove, 1,818 tons, from
New York,and the BeUerby, 1,979 tons,
from Maderia.
Algonquin at Galveston.
The U. 8. revenue cutter Algonquin,
ni-oMeded from Wilmington on
September 11th, under orders to report
at Mobile, Ala., for further orders, ar
rived at Galveston last Thursday to
aid in the relief work for the sufferers.
The tJ. S. lighthouse tender Mangrove,
which was stationed at Key West,
also arrived there on Thursday.
WILMINGTON, N. C, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,
INSPECTOR GENERAL HERE.
Col. P. P. Hobfood Arrived Yesterday to
Inspect Wilmington's Military Com
paales The State Guard.
CoL F. P. Hobgood, Jr., Inspector
General of the North Carolina State
Guard, arrived yesterday and will re
main in the city until Tuesday. On
Monday evening he will inspect the
Wilmington Light Infantry, Company
C, N. C. S. G., and.Wilmington Di
vision of the North Carolina Naval
Brigade. From Wilmington CoL
Hobgood goes to inspect the Maxton
and Lumber Bridge companies.
He has already visited about three-
fifths of the companies in the State and
speaks most encouragingly of the pros
pects of the State Guard. With but
a single exception Col. Hobgood found
all the companies he visited decidedly
improved from every view point over
last year and everywhere interest is
being manifested in things military.
By concerted action of the Adjutant
Generals of all the States
in the union, they succeeded last year
in securing from Congress an appro
priation of $1,000,000 for State Guard
instead of $350,000, as before. Of the
increased amount North Carolina's
share is about $25,000, making with
the appropriation from the State a
total of $10,000, as compared -With
$9,000 received from the government
hitherto with the usual State appro
priation. This all goes for equipment,
ordnance and encampment. This year
there was no encampment, but Col.
Hobgood thinks in the future, en
campments will be held each year.
Eventually he says the North Caro
lina military will be equipped in first
class style, and North . Carolinians
will indeed be proud of their State
Guard.
A CALL TO DEMOCRATS.
Mass Meeting of Voters to Be Held in the
Court House To-morrow Night-An
Urgent Appeal.
Attention is directed to a call pub
lished elsewhere by Chairman E. F.
Johnson for a meeting of the Demo
cratic voters of the city to be held in
theConrt House to morrow night at
8 o'clock for the purpose of more
thoroughly organizing for the coming
national campaign. All members of
the various Bryan and Stevenson clubs
of the city are urgently requested to
be present as well as all other Demo
crats of the city who have not yet
connected themselves with the ward
organizations.
Chairman Johnson says that busi
ness of importance will be submitted
for consideration and it is hoped there
will not be a vacant seat in the Court
House. He enjoins every true Demo
crat to come and bring some other
voter with him.
There will likely be two speeches
during the progress of the meeting on
live campaign topics and those who
attend may be sure that they will be
entertained as well as instructed.
ONE NEQRO STABS ANOTHER.
Officers Gave Chase to Offender and Were
Outclassed In Lively Sprint.
Two negroes, one of them hailing
from Southport, became involved in a
fight last night about eleven o'clock in
an alley next south of Canady's Milli
nery store, as a result of which one of
the combatants received a gash several
inches long just above his heart. The
neerro who did the cutting, made a
dash to get out of the alley just as De
puty Sheriffs Millis and Daniels
were passing on the streets. They
heard the cries of the wounded negro
and combing the circumstance with-
the hasty departure of the other negro
they gave chase and were led a lively
run up Orange street with no avail,
the offending negro being very fleet of
foot The officers fired in the air to
halt the fleeing negro, but this merely
increased his pace. The fight and sub
sequent shooting by the officers caused
quite a bit of excitement in the crowd
ed market.
Advance in Peanuts.
Further reports from the peanut
growing section of Eastern North Car
olina confirm the idea of the shortness
of the present crop, which is variously
estimated at from 50 to 75 percent.
Along with the news of the curtail
ment of the production comes the news
from dealers that within the past ten
days there has been a phenomenal ad
vance in price. One dealer probably
the largest in the city said last night
that during the past ten days there had
been an advance in all grades from ten
to twelve cents, as will appear from
the Stab's local market reports on the
inside pages. The advance is due
solely, he says, to the expectancy of a
short crop. '
Rally at Central Baptist Church.
The Central Baptist Church, (col
ored) on corner of Seventh and Red
Cross streets, has prepared for a special
rally to-day. A special programme
of music has been prepared by the
pastor, Rev. J. Gardner Ross, and the
Revs. Drs. Worlds and Waters will
preach at the usual hours. Rev. Dr.
Calvin 8. Blackwell, pastor of the
First Baptist church, will preach to
the colored people at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. All are welcome.

pepper will sympathize with them

INTO NEW QUARTERS.
Mr. W. B. Cooper Has Moved His Whole-
ssle Grocery Establishment to Nutt
Street Splendid Location.
Mr. W. B. Cooper yesterday moved
his wholesale grocery establishment
from No. 226 North Water street into
the very commodious building on
Nutt street situated next south of the
Boney & Harper Milling Company's
establishment.
The new store is admirably adapted
to the wholesale grocery business and
gives Mr. Cooper much more stock
and office room, in response to the
growing demand for such conven
iences incident to a steadily increasing
trade.
The old building was formerly
known as the "Danenhart property,"
and it has given away to what is prac
tically a new building. The plans
for the overhauling and remodelling
of the old structure were drawn by
Mr. H. E. Bonitz, and he gave the
work his personal supervision, word
ing wonders and giving Mr. Cooper
one of the most eligibly located whole
sale grocery stores in the city.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Dye Room of Wilmington Cotton Mills
Damaged by SHgkt Blaze Origin
of -the Fire Unknown.
Fire in the second story of the dye
house of the Wilmington Cotton Mills
did considerable damage this morning
about 2:30 o'clock, but' the approxi
mate amount of the damage could not
be ascertained. The dye house is situ
ated some distance from the mill
building and is constructed partly of
wood and partly of brick. Watchman
Thomas G. Ramsay discovered the
blaze and gave the alarm by
blowing the whistle of the engine.
Later, an alarm was sent in from box
42, to which the fire department re
sponded and soon had the flames un
der control.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as that part of the mill had not been
in operation during the night. The
operatives ip. the mill proper had gone
home at 11 o clock.
The damage, it is said, is principally
to the building, as there was very little
machinery in the burned portion.
River Shipping Again Threatened.
Cape Fear and Black river steam
boat men are again beginning to com
plain of low water. They say rain is
agaia badly needed, the rise last week
having been only temporary. The
Driver came in yesterday afternoon
from Willis' Creek, having made con
nection there with the Johnson from
Fayetteville. She will clear for a re
turn trip Monday, as will probably the
Hawes, which came in last evening
from a trip up Black river as far as
Mill Creek.
Died Last .Night.
Mrs. Fannie B. Allen, wife of Motor-
man Allen, of the Wilmington Street
Railway Company, died last night at
11 o'clock of hemorrhage at her home,
No. 910 Princes street. She was in the
22d year of her age, and leaves, besides
a sorrowing husband, one child, aged
about two years. The remains will be
taken to-day up to Rocky Point, her
old home, for interment.
