THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
Was Very Short aad Contained No
Special Features tfaag Jary dot
Further Instructions aad Re
turned Verdict of Guilty.
The Fall term of the Eastern Dis
trict Criminal Court for New Hanover
county adjourned by limitation last
midnight. The work of the term was
finished about noon yesterday, but
Judge Moore thought that in the event
other matters might arise it would be
as well to let the sessions come to an
end as stated.
Judge Moore will leave this after
noon for Charlotte to convene Meck
lenburg court to-morrow. Nowith-
standing his very feeble health, he has
maintained his excellent record during
the term just ended and his friends
part with him entertaining the hope
that by the time for the next session
of the court here he may be fully
restored to his health again, if, indeed,
not sooner.
The proceedings of the court jester-
day were without interest and con
sisted mainly in winding up affairs of
the week. The jury which remained
out all night in the case of George
Nash, charged with larceny, came in
upon the opening of the court in the
morning and asked for further instruc
tions, after which a verdict of guilty
was returned and the negro sentenced
to six months in jail with leave to the
County Commissioners to hire him
out.
During the day several business con
cerns were brought into court for fail"
ure to pay schedule B. tax, but the
defendants claimed that the tax had
been paid in other forms such as cor
poration tax, property tax, tax on
stock, etc One of the cases which
was against the Wilmington Compress
Warehouse Company was submitted
to Judge Moore as a "test" matter. He
reserved hie decision in the case
and will make it known later. Messrs.
Junius Davis and E. EL Bryan,
represented the defendant in the ac
tion.
The following proceedings during
the day appear from the clerk's rec
ord.
Marshall Hayney, larceny; nol
prossed with leave.

work yesterday and was discharged.
The following is the report made to
Judge Moore.
To the Honorable, Judge Augustus
Af. Moore:
We the following grand jury for the

the following report: We have acted
upon 49 bills and found 44 true bills
and five not true bills.

and find the jail in good condition
and kept well by Jailor Millis. We
would recommend tbat the water pipe
be looked after and the ventilators in
top of building be repaired by having
iron bars out in ventilators ; also two
cuspidores placed in the jail near the
beater.
We have visited the County Home
and find it in good condition inmates
well cared for. We recommend mat
glass be put in the windows where
broken out We nave also visited tne
quarters of the county prisoners at
Castle Haynes and find the camp in
good condition and prisoners well
cared for. We would recommend
that a boiled dinner be given twice a
week. We have had a great deal of
trouble getting witnesses.

THE RH0DA ROYAL SHOWS
Arrived This Morning aad Will Appear
To-morrow at Hilton Park A
Meritorious Show.'
The Rhoda Royal shows arrived by
their own train of cars this morning
and pitched their tents at Hilton, and
will to morrow give two performances,
one in the'afternoon at 2 o'clock and
the evening at 8 o'clock.
The Rhoda Royal show?, although
not as large as many of the tented ex
hibitions Jon the road, comes excep
tionally well recommended, and in
cludes among its many features the
63 horse act, where 63 horses perform
at one and the same time on pyramids
built in the centre of the ring,
and under command of Professor
Joseph Berris. It is said this eques
trian act alone has never been equal
ed by any tented exhibition and alone
is worth the price of admission. Then
there is Madam Royal's tandem team
of black horses, that do the cake Walk,
flirt, do the hoochee couchee dance,
lay down in the harness and perform
several other tricks tbat make one
think that a horse is almost human.
The Pet its, the famous family of gym
nasts, are also numbered among the
novelty acts of the Rhoda Royal
Shows.
The horses are the finest specimens
of equiaes possibly ever seen with any
show, and the show on the whole is
deserving of good patronage and un
doubtedly will have the same as it is,
the only tented show that has visited
this city this year. The parade will
leave the show grounds promptly at
10 o'clock, A. M. and will parade the
principal streets of the city.
MR. COWAN'S QRBAT SUCCESS.
He is Winning Lanrels la the Theatrical
World as Leading Mao.
Mr. James H. Cowan, of Wilming
ton, is making quite an enviable re
putation for himself in the theatrical
world judging from recent press
notices, and the Stab is certain
that the news will be received
with great pleasure by all his
friends in the city, and they com
pose the entire population. He is
now stage director and playing the
leading role while McPhee and Dow-
nie's Big Double Dramatic and
Specialty Company, which isat present
touring Minnesota and other western
States.
The Fergus Falls Daily Journal of
a recent date, m criticising ah
Arkanaaw Romance," one of the com
pany's unusually strong dramatic pro
ductions, says of Mr. Cowan's work.
"Mr. J as. H. Cowan in .the leading
role, that of "Ross Bolter," an Ameri
can and proud of it accomplished an
able piece of acting, his humorous and
dramatic scenes alike being very
strong."
Of the entire show the Journal says
thecaalw.-.s a very clever one and
won the hearty approval of every one.
WON A MERITED DISTINCTION.
Miss Marie E. Morchison's Pretty Horse
'Hornpipe ' Takes the Blue Ribbon.
Col. K. M. Murchison last night re
ceived a telegram from New York an
nouncing that "Hornpipe" the very
handsome horse belonging to his
daughter, Miss Marie E. Murchison,
had won the blue ribbon or first prize
at the New York Horse, Show in the
ladies' hunting class. Miss Murchi-
son's horse won over 62 competitors
and the distinction is a great as well
as a highly deserving one.
This triumph makes "Hornpipe"
eligible for the championship of the
United States, and Miss Murchison's
many Wilmington friends will hear
with delight of her great success in the
contest.
"Hornpipe" was greatly admired
here last Spring where Miss Murchison
kept him for some time and those who
were acquainted with his sterling
qualities are not surprised at his great
achievement
"The Spider aad Ply."
It has come to the attention of Man
ager Schloss, of the Opera House, that
a report is being industriously circu
lated that the attraction at the theatre
to-morrow night is of such a character
that ladies should not attend. He de
sires the Stab to state that such is not
the case; that the greport is" without
foundation and that any lady can at
tend the show without the least im
propriety. The audiences in Rich
mond, Norfolk and other cities have
consisted principally of ladies this
season, and why the report should
have gained currency Mr. Schloss is
unable to say.
Louise Mac Ruled Oat.
The New York papers of last Wed
nesday, in their notices of the second
day of the great Horse Show in that
metropolis, print very strong protests
against the unceremonious ruling out
of one of the trotting contests of Louise
Mac, Mr. A. B.Gwathmey's fine horse,
which entered the class for standard
trotters with a record of 2:30 or better.
Louise Mac has a record of 2:09, and
horse show attendants were espe
cially vigorous in their denunciation of
the judges for their unwarranted for
conduct in the matter.

pains to secure for this popular star a

had a New York run of several

Just to Remind
Christmas is less than
five weeks off,
to say nothing of intervening holidays.
Whether one's list of gifts for the holl
days be long or short, time and consid
eration are needed for proper selection.
Our patrons are reminded of the near
approach of Christmas and of the facul
ties NOW OFFEBED for the deliberate
examination of our stock.
It is a pleasure to choose
from a stock like ours,
because It contains everything that is
new and unique in Dinner Sets, Tea
Sets, Toilet Sets, Salad Sets, Lamps,
Jardiniere, Fern Dishes, Vases, etc, to
say nothing of our very pretty pieces in
Libbey's Cut Glass.
Will you let us
