THE FISHBUTE CASE
Jury Had Not Reached a Verdict
at an Early Hour This
Morning.
A NIGHT'S DELIBERATION.
Testimony Was Besd, Concluding arfa
ment by Counsel sod the Charge by
Jndge Took Up AU of Yester
day's Sesslos of Court.
The damage suit of Fishblate against
Wallerstein Klee & Co , in which the
plaintiff asks $10,000 actual and $10,
000 punitive damage for the alleged
wrongful suing out of a writ of at
tachment upon the stock of the plain
tiff, resulting, it is claimed, in his as
signment and commercial Injury, took
up another entire day in the Superior
Court yesterday, it not having reached
the jury until 7 o'clock in the even
ing. At an early hour this morning the
jury still had the case in consideration
and no verdict had been agreed upon.
Court convened at 8:30 o'clock yes
terday morning an hour earlier than
usual so as to afford A. G. Ricaud,
Esq., an opportunity of concluding
his argument and of leaving on the
9:40 o'clock train for Durham to be
with his father, who is critically ill.
After concluding the argument the
evidence in the case as taken by Miss
Stella Shrier.stenographer of the court,
was read to the jury and this consumed
the entire time of the court until shortly
before six o'clock, when the issues were
presented to the jury and the charge
was given by Judge Moore.
The issues submitted to the jury in
this case are as follows:
1. Was the warrant of attachment in
the case of Wallerstein & Klee vs. 8.
II. Fishblate wrongfully sued out?
2. Was the warrant of attachment in
the case of Wallerstein & Klee vs. 8.
H. Fishblate sued out maliciously and
without probable cause!
3. What actual damage, if any, has
the plaintiff sustained by reason of the
wrongful issuing of the said warrant
of attachment ?
4. What punitive damage, if any, is
plaintiff entitled to recover?
5. Did the sheriff make his levy be
fore the 'filing of the deed of assign
ment to A. Q. Ricaud, trustee, for reg
istration ?
Judge Moore's charge occupied a
little more than an hour's time and was
very comprehensive, touching each
issue and reviewing the evidence. Most
of the charge was as to the first two
issues, which are most in question, the
third and fourth becoming obsolete if
judgment is in favor of defendant
The following gentlemen compose
the jury in the case: J. P. Walton, J.
D. Cottle, L. L Bland, B. B. Brown,
T. J. Herring, J. 8. Cvnady, J. O.
Wiggs, David LeGwin. J. W. Scott,
W. C. Peterson, W. R. Beery.' It is
believed that a mistrial will be avoided
and that a verdict will be re
ceived by the opening of court at 9 :30
o'clock this morning.
At the opening of court, the sheriff
returned the following as jurors for
the day : Jacob L. Solomon, Samuel
Bear, Sr., Benjamin Hollis, J.
O. Power, A. B. Lynch, Henry
Newman, Ed. Orrell, Thomas Glad
den. The following were returned
as not found: Alouzo Rowe, Lee
Browning and T. J. Rivenbark.
Messrs. Jacob L. Solomon, Samuel
Bear, Sr., and W. W. Holliday were
excused for the day. Of jurors drawn
for the week Messrs. Wm. Blanks
and C. R. Anderson were excused.
During the day's session Marsden
Bellamy, Jr., appeared in court and
exhibited license from the Chief Jus
tice and Associate Justices of the Su
preme Court to practice aa an attorney
and counsellor at law in the State
courts. On motion of Eugene Martin,
Esq., the oath of office as required by
law was administered to him by Mr.
Martin.

MRS. EMMA D. N0RMENT
Died Monday Evening st Her Home la
Lumberton Has Many Relstlves
In This City.
Members of the family in Wilming
ton early yesterday morning received
telegraphic news of the death at Lum
berton, N. C, on Monday night at
7.30 o'clock of Mrs. Emma Douglass
Norment, daughter of the late Dr.
Wm. J. and Mrs. Mary P. Harriss, of
this city, and wife of Capt W. S. Nor
ment, of Lumberton.
Mrs. Norment was also a sister of
Dr. W. W. Harris, Mrs. Eliza M. Bel
lamy, Mrs. A. J. Howell and Miss
Mary Harriss, of Wilmington, the last
named having been at her bedside at
the time of her death. Mrs. Howell,
Mrs. Bellamy and daughter, Miss Eliza
Bellamy, left yesterday via the Sea
board Air Line to attend the funeral.
The deceased lady was 62 years of
age on the day of her death and was
universally loved by all who knew
her. In December, 1864, she was
married to Capt Norment and seven
children were the result of the union,
four of whom survive her Mr. Doug
lass Norment, Misses Nellie, Emma
and Laura Norment, ail of Lumber
ton. In its account of the death the Lum
berton Argus of yesterday says:
"Mrs. Norment united with the
church when young, and was a loyal
Christian until her death. She was
devoted to the Presbyterian faith, and
dearly loved the house of God. She
was a devoted wife, a loving mother,
an affectionate sister and sincere
friend. She was a great sufferer for
several months, but bore it with sub
mission and patience. To her dying
was but going 'home.' Our hearts go
out in tenderest sympathy to her four
chiiJreo, all of how have met with
an irreparable loss, for the mother's
place can never be filled. We com
mend them to the Saviour whom she
to tenderly loved.
'The funeral services will be con
ducted by Rev. J. S. Black."
PALACE BAKERY SOLD.
Andrew Mavrooichols Purchaser of Vain
able Market Street Business Mr.
Psrrlss Retired for Present.
Announcement was made yester
day of the sale of the Palace Bakery,
which has been conducted in an up
to date manner on Market street by
Mr. W. A. Farriss for a number of
years, to Andrew Mavronichola, the
well known Greek fruit dealer and
confectioner, who has managed with
much success a similar business on
Fourth street across the bridge. The
new purchaser will open with a new
stock on Saturday and will conduct
the bakery business as well as the
confeciiouery department. The store
and Ox -es areas handsome as there
are in .h. city and the Stab predicts
for the ne" proprietor an abundant
success. Ilo will continue to conduct
the store across Fourth street bridge.
Mr. Farriss, the retiring proprietor,
was compelled to abandon the busi
ness temporarily on account of the
illness of Mrs. Farriss, who has been
at Ashevllle, N. C, for some time re
cuperating. He will engage in the
same business elsewhere or there is a
probability that he will return to
Wilmington to engage in business.
Mr. Farriss during his residence here
made the Palao Bakery one of the
most ud to date concerns of its kind in
the State. The plant and fixtures are
second to none and were provided at a
great cost in 1898. The friends of Mr.
Farriss will regret that the illness of
his wife prevented his continuing and
enlarging the business as he had con
templated. LETTER OP ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

PRESENTED WITH MEDAL.
Prof. Mosto the Recipient of a Handsome
Gold Medal from the Second Regi
ment Bsnd.
The Second Regiment Band had a
festive celebration last night at the band
room, in honor of their esteemed
leader, Prof. F. Musto, who will sever
his connection with the band until
next Spring and return to his home in
Philadelphia. The occasion was in
formal, but its pleasure will linger
long in the memories of those who
were present.
After the land had discoursed a few
-choice selections, Mr. Richard B.
Clowe, in behalf of the band, pre
sented to Prof. Musto, in a few re
marks, a handsome gold medal in the
form of a lyre, with a scroll above.
On the scroll is engraved "Prof. F.
Musto," and the back of the medal
bears the inscription, "From the
Second Regiment Band, Wilmington,
N. C., 1900." He said it was presented
by the band to show its high appre
ciation of Prof. Musto's services and
as ia Itoken of its . esteem and good
wishes for his future success. Prof.
Musto was much affected by the man
ifestation o' the high regard in which
he is held by the band and responded
in a few feeling words.
Prof. Musto has been in the leader
ship of the band since last April,
and under his directorship it has
made wonderfully rapid strides and
has attained a notable degree of ex
cellence. It is almost certain that
Prof. Musto will return to the band
next Mav and resume its leadership.
The evening's festivities were con
cluded with an elegant banquet. Sev
eral very appropriate toasts were re
sponded to in a happy manner. The
entire reception was gotten up under
the direction of Mr. Will Rehder, who
deserves much credit for the delight
ful success of the occasion.
