THE STRAUSS DAMAGE SUIT Was Tsken Up According to Calendar Plrat la the Morning and Will Like ly Require Three Days for Trial Other Notes. Probably half, if indeed -not more, of. the first week of the Spring term of New Hanover County Superior Court, which convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Judge W. A. Hoke, of Lincolnton, presiding, promises to be consumed in the hear ing of the suit brought by Mrs. Jessie B. Strauss, executrix, ys. the City of Wilmington, which was entered .upon the first thing after the preliminaries of the opening of court. The suit has been pending for nearly three years and is one in which the plaintiff seeks to recover $25,000 damages of the city for injuries alleged to have been re ceived by her husband, Mr. W. H. Strauss, in falling into a street exca vation on January 11th, 1896, around which were not thrown the usual and proper safeguards to pedestrians pass ing in that vicinity, and from which injuries the plaintiff's testator ulti mately died in April of the same year. The case has been continued from term to term, and once, in October, 1899, it reached the jury, but a mistrial was had, it having been given out at the time that of the twelve men designated to determine upon the issue, eleven were for awarding $4,000 damage and the twelfth stood immovable for $5,000. The attorneys and others now appear to be determined upon disposing of the suit so far as the lower court is concerned and yesterday the case was hard fought as between Messrs. Mars den Bellamy & Sons, A. J. Marshall, Esq., and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy for the complainant and Messrs. Rountree & Carr, City Attorney Meares and E. K. Bryan, Esq., for the defendant city. The plaintiff's attorneys had not fin ished the examination of their wit nesses when the court adjourned for the day at 5.30 o'clock in the afternoon, and attorneys say the earliest possible time at which the case is likely to be concluded is Wednesday noon. All the court officers were in attend ance upon the opening of court yester day morning except Col. Jno. D. Tay lor, the clerk, whom the Stab regrets to note, is still confined to his home by illness. Mr. T. O. Bunting is very acceptably filling the position in CoL Taylor's absence. Solicitor Duffy ar rived in the afternoon and took up his duties. Of the regular jurors summoned for the week Messrs. 8. Solomon, . J. Flanagan, R. B. Lewis and Capt. Jno. F. Divine were excused . for the term and Mr. J. F. Wishart for the day on account of the illness of one of his children. It was agreed to take up the criminal docket upon the assembling of the court at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon, but this was dispensed with and it will likely not be taken up for a day or two. It took nearly two hours for the se lection of a jury in the Strauss suit and all the peremptory challenges were exhausted and a number were made for cause. The jury at length empanelled is composed of Messrs. J. EL LeGwin, W. G. Fergus, Geo. T. Bland, O. A. Wiggins, E. Hewlett, A. C. Penton, J. W. Barnes, Jr., Walker Taylor, E. W. Rogers, A. Bremer, F. A. Mason and J. B. Dempsey. The witnesses heard during the morning and afternoon sessions were Messrs. W. H. Strauss, W. H. Shaw, A. 8. Holden, W. A. French, Jr., Dr. T. S. Burbank, Dr.W. J. H. Bellamy, Capt T. D. Meares, Messrs. E. A. Or rell, B. O, Moore, and Julius Taylor. Mr. W. M. Howey was on the stand when adjournment was had for the day. Other witnesses for examination are Dr.W. J. Love, Mrs. J. B. Strauss, Miss Mattie Strauss, Miss Lizzie Otten, Messrs. W. H. Alderman, J. P. Quelch, C. M. Harrisa, E. M. Dennent, and T J. Pae. The defendant's attorneys will also have a number of witnesses for in troduction. The court will be convened again this morning at 10 o'clock. The fol lowing lalismen have been ordered summoned by Sheriff Stedman for duty to-morrow: J. O. Brown, W. L. Duke, L. C. Sutton, D. H. Penton, Alonzo Hewlett, G. T. 8hepard, W. EL Hardy, Jas. L Metts, R. F. Rowan, R. Li. Johnson', Jno. J. Piner, M. F. Beasley, W. EL EL Todd, W. G. Guth rie, W. G. Craig, Henry Tietgen, R. L. SanforcL; J. E. Marshburn. Just before adjournment for the day, CoL Jno. N. Staples, of Greens boro, attorney for the defendant in the case of W. E. Worth, receiver, vs. Capt B. J. Fisher, addressed the court and seemed at a loss to know why his suit was not placed on the calendar on the first day, as ordered by Judge Moore at last term. The error of the local attorneys in arranging the cases was explained and Judge Hoke requested those interested to agree upon a day for a hearing of the same and to report this morning. The case involves the non-payment of stock to an ice and fuel company, of Greens boro, of which Mr. Worth was ap pointed receiver. Off to Attead Weddiag. Mr. E. L. Matthews, of the A. C. L. shops here, left last night for Elm City to attend the marriage Wednes day of his brother, Mr. Lonnie P. Matthews, of the A. 0. L., at Rocky Mount, to Miss Lillie Whitney, of Elm City. ' .; ' ... THE CRESCENT STOCK COMPANY. An Excellent Attraction Last Nltht to a Crowded Wilmington Audience. The Crescent Stock Company inau gurated at the Opera House last night a week of drama and comedy, which bids fair to be a great success. A packed, house witnessed the initial performance entitled, "Forgiven," and by continued applause and laughter heartily manifested i its appreciation. Pathos and mirth interspersed the en tire play and at times there were really clever situations, which rounded off the performance in a very pleas ing manner, i The company is an ex cellent one and deserves great credit for magnificent entertainment at so small a price. The Ladies' Symphony Orchestra is a special attraction and is a show in H rvi itself. Then, too. there is Guy Wood ard, who is certain to make one laugh, and there are other - artists in the caste of really a very high order. The "Standing Room Only" sign was out early last night, notwithstanding a counter attraction in another part of the city, and to-night there promises to be equally as large an audience. when the amusing comedy, "A Crazy Idea," will be presented. 45TH ANNUAL CELEBRATION.

A. last evening before one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the audi torium. The programme of music, recitation and reading was admirably presented. "The Kitchen Clock," a recitation by Miss Breneman, was splendid and the audience responded with delightea applause. Her read ing of "Enoch Arden," with the piano and violin accompaniment by Mr. Olmsted and Miss Pot win, respectively, was dramatic and carried with it a feeling and pathos of that beautiful but sad psalm. Miss Gertrude Miriam Potwin's selections on the violin were yery good and she fully sustained her reputation as being a true artist with the bow. The performance was the third attraction in the Popular Course and was well received. A Noted Methodist Divine. Bishop W.W. Duncan, of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, will preach at Grace Methodist Church on Sunday, February 10th.

EL White who recently retired as a commanding officer of the Wilmington Light In fantry, was the recipient of a very handsor token of esteem from the honarary members of the company, proper an p the members of the Re serve Corps.

In mentioning the number of inci dents in connection with the observ ance of Lee's birthday on Saturday, the Stab inadvertently omitted a very pleasing expression of sentiment by Capt Brown, of the British steamship Buckminster, now. loading cotton at the Champion Compress.

Naming a price without regard to quality does not make a continued successful business. Ton may put on the public an Inferior goods onetime and maybe two times, but not. all toe time. We are in the Cigar business to win; and knowing It Is only a ques tion of quality that counts with a dis criminating public, we have made it a question of Quality first. Quality last, and Quality all the time. We posi tively, claim THAT "Renown," "Cuban. Blossom" Cigars ARE THE BEST VALUE 1 FOR THE MONEY sold on any market. It yonr grocer won't sell them because of the small , margin of profit to him, we can tell you who does.
