Artunest by Counsel Has Berao, Bat All of Monday's Session Will Likely Be Consumed In Coiclaslon The Hearing- la Net! Case. The Fishblate-Wallerstein, Klee & Co. damage suit again occupied the entire session of the Superior Court yesterday and though the greatest possible dispatch has been the policy of the court the end of the first week of the term finds very little done so far as number of cases is concerned. though those that have been disposed ef have been on the calendar for a number of years and were quite long. It was practically an all-day session again yesterday, an adjournment for the day not having been reached until near 7 o'clock in the evening. The court convened at 9 o'clock as usual and A. G. Ricaud, Esq., assignee for Mr. Fishblate, concluded his testi mony, which was not finished when an adjournment was taken Friday evening. Mr. W. N.

At 3 o'clock the court convened again and ueorge Kountree, .Esq., opened the argument for the plaintiff, addressing himself to Judge Moore for about an hour as to the legal status of the case and equally as long to the jury as to the law and facts. He . was followed by Hon. John D. Bellamy, for the defendants, who spoke for an hour and suggested the propriety of adjourning until Monday morning. Judge Moore assented and the court was accordingly adjourned. It is likely that most if not all, of Mon day's session will be consumed in con cluding the argument - Thi calendar was examined by Judge Moore yesterday and in view of the unexpected length of the cases that have thus far been heard and with the consent of the attorneys, the order as to continuances was made in substance as follows: The cases in which W. E. Worth receiver, is the plaintiff were all con tinued as also the following: Zillah Fowler vs. Jno. J. Fowler; J. R. Strauss, ex., vs. City (1st case 1st day next term) ; B. F. Penny vs. W. C. & A.

Mr. Gay lord and his corps of salesmen and salesladies, numbering about twenty five, were "at home" to customers for the first time yesterday and those who had occasion to visit "the biggest store in Wilmington and in the State" were pleased to note the cheerful and bus! nesslike appearance of the entire establishment. Mr. Gsylord's idea, cherished for a number of years, of a building which would permit the carrying of a busi ness such as his, seems to have found a realization in the new store, which is. of brick with pressed' brick front and elegant red stone trimmings. It has practically four floors and was erected at a cost of more than $15, 000. In a basement 20x30 feet are the elec tric plant for the elevator and the coal cellar. The first floor is 50x125 feet in size and will be occupied by the retail department. The second floor of equal size is devoted to the millinery depart ment under the careful direction of Miss Alma Brown, who has just re turned from a northern trip, where she has been studying latest styles and fancies in the art The third floor is given over to the wholesale stock in original packages. It is also used for trunks, mattings, carpets and other goods of this character. The fourth floor is 60x50 feet and is used as a wareroom.

Mr. Pogue is thoroughly enthusiastic over the prospects for a successful event, and says his confer ence with the railroad people here was perfectly satisfactory. Though no defi nite at. ..ngement can be announced, Mr. Pogje says it may be depended upon that ih Atlantic Coast Line will give an eq luable rate and one in keep ing with its spirit of progressiveness in this particular in the past Speaking of the Fair, Mr. Pogue says that the outlook is better than in any previous year. It will be a six day's event whereas heretofore only five days has been devoted to it. The attractions will be varied and of a high order. The Vanderbilt exhibit of products and stock from his Bilt more estate at Asheville will be larger thar ever before. None of this exhibit will, however, enter into the competi tion for premiums for the reason that Mr. Chas. McNamee, president of the State Agricultural Society, is manager of this feature of the Biltmore estate. Mr. Pogue is a "State Fair enthu siast" and the great interest manifested this ytar coupled with his experience during a preceding term as secretary of the Fair, ensures for the occasion the success it richly merits.
