Senator Norton is! appointed by
Lieutenant Governor Turner chairman
of the committee to re district the State
for the Senate and representation of
counties in the House.; This is impor
tant to New Hanover as Mr. Morton
having the machinery in hand well
might insure the county noloss of rep
resentation. He said to-night that he
will not allow his county to lose a
representative without' a hard fight.
There was little business of interest
in the House or Senate. The follow

By Wiggs, to authorize capital stock
for Great Eastern Railway Co.

lands of another without written per
mission in Washington, Warren, Bla
den, Pender, Cabarrus and Wayne
counties elicited a lengthy discussion.
An amendment by Morton that the
bill apply only to hunters of coons
and 'possums was voted down amidst
considerable argument, and the bill
passed all readings. Morton's amend
ment was called forth by the claim
that coon and 'possum hunters cut
many valuable trees to capture the
game. Tne Dill provides a nne or iu
for each violation.
Bill to regulate fishing in Neute
river, Pamlico county, passed its third

At 12 o'clock the joint session of tbe
8enate and House met to hear Dr. J.

before the joint session! Whitaker, of
Forsyth, arose in the House, on a
matter of personal" privilege and asked
leave to withdraw and! have stricken
from the records his resolution of yea
terday that the Assembly do not hear
Dr. Curry, on the ground that he lob
bied in Washington in favor of Pear

cause Dr. Curry denied the charge,
and there was no evidence to sustain
it The record was strick en out
Mr. Carry's Addrest.
Dr. Curry's address, especially able
and comprehensive, urged the General
Assembly to have the courage to ao
the right thing by the cause of educa
tion. The future wealth of North Car
olina is not so much factories or. cor
oorations as honest education, sowing
and reaping. He said he never lobbied

A Suit With Some Sensational
Features in the Superior
Court Yesterday.
THE QUESTION OF A DEED.
Sixnalnre to the lostrament Pronounced
Spurious by Defendant, Bat Plaintiff
Introduced Testimony to Prove
That It Is Oeooine.
The whole of yesterday's session of
the Superior Court was taken up in
the hearing of an unimportant and
rather uninteresting land suit, entitled
Zillah Fowler vs. John J. Fowler,
which involves the title to a vacant lot
oQNorlh Front, between Church and
Castle streets, valued at about $800. The
case is being hotly contested by at
toroejs and probably half, if not
more, of to-day's sitting of the court
will be required to finish it.
The whole contention is over a deed
alleged to have been executed by the
ate W.JG. Fowler, transferring the
pioptrly in question to his widow, the
plaintiff in the suit. The defendant
some time ago advertised the land for
sale and the plaintiff immediately en
ured suit for a correction of the deed,
which was improperly drawn in that
it defined the property as beginning
"in the east line of Front street, 32
feet from corner of Church street"
without specifying whether north or
south of the point indicated.-
The only interesting feature of the
entire hearing was an attempt by de
fendant's attorneys to show that tbe
deed is fraudulent, by the introduction
of Mr. Jno. Haar, ex-register of deeds,
and Messrs. T. C. Evans and W. L
Smith, as handwriting experts. Mr.
Haar testified that to the best of his
knowledge the instrument was brought
in for record by Mr. W. R. Morrison
and that there wet e possible evidences
that the signature was more recently
written than the body of the deed and
the expert testimony of Messrs. Evans
and 8mith tended to show that the
signature affixed to the deed was not
that of the deceased W. G. Fowler.
On the other hand the plaintiff in
troduced the testimony of Mr. Morri
son, Miss Maggie Piatt and Mrs. Bur
nett showing that the signature is
genuine and that the paper was signed
in their presence. - These facts were
strongly brought Fat by E. K. Bryan,
Esq., who was the only attorney which
addressed the jury before adjournment
of the court yesterday afternoon at
30 o'clock
The other attorneys, in the case are
Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy and Marsden
Bellamy & Sons for the defendant
and J. B. Schulken, Esq., of White
ville, and Hon. Franklin McNeill for
the plaintiff.
The wuuesses introduced for the de
fendant, other than those mentioned
above and character witnesses, were
Messrs. Preston Cumming, Jno. J.
Fowler and Sheriff Walter G. Mac
Rae. The jury which is hearing the case
is made up of Messrs. J. W. Barnes,
Jr., W: G. Fergus, A. C. Penton, D.
A. Rowan, E. W. Rogers, F. A.
Mason, A. Brewer, Geo. H. Rogers,
J. B. Dempsey, E. Hewlett, Steve
Greelesh and L. C. Sutton.
The issues as will be submitted to
the jury are as follows :
"Did deceased W. G. Fowler execute
and deliver to his wife Ziliah Fowler,
plaintiff, for . love and affection the
deed or instrument set out and referred
to in Section 3 of complaint t"
'Did said W. G. Fowler intend to
convey instead of first lot mentioned
in said instrument, the tract of land
set out and described in Section 2 of
complaint that is the land in contro
versy and was the misdescription made
by mistake parties!"
The cases of J. G. Wright & Son
vs. Zillah Fowler and E. Moreley vs.
M. G. Chadwick are continued until
next term as they were not reached
yesterday as placed upon the calen
dar. The cases set for trial to-day are:
Junius Davis, receiver, vs. the But
ters Lumber Company; Meta H.
Hullen vs. City of Wilmington; W.
E. Worth vs. City of Wilmington;
W. E. Worth vs. L. B. Pennington;
H. L. Peterson vs. City of Wilming
ton; George Hilton vs. Mattie Hilton;
L. Miles vs. George E. .Pope.
It is hardly expected that many, if
any at all of these wiifc reach a trial
to day and according to the rule of the
bar those that are not reached will go
over until the April term.
! "A YOUNQ WIFE."
Tlllotsoa's Great Success at the Opera
House Next Monday Night.
"A Young Wife," which has re
cently had a long run at the Four
teenth Street Theatre in New York,
will be presented here Monday night,
January 28th.
This play, which is said to haver been
one of the few solid successes of the
season, was written by J. K. Tillot
son, who is well known to theatre
goers, being the author of "The
Planter's Wire," which was a great
success for a number of years. The
story of the new play hinges on the
murder of an old New York banker.
The young wife suspected her own
husband, the son pf (he murdered
man. If early all the rest of the char
acters believe the young wife to be the
murderess. In the end it is shown
clearly that another son of the mur
dered man did the deed. The play is
full of exciting and thrilling inci
dents, and the story is said to be well
connected and shrewdly told. It deals
with high and low life in the metropo
lis and has been termed '-'a moving
panorama or aew x ora me.

DIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Mr. dsns Christian- Dock Passed Away
at Residence of tils Son, Mr. C H.
Dock, on Orange Street. ;
Mr. Claus Christian Dock, the ven
erable father of Wilmington's es
teemed townsman Mr. C. H. Dock,
died yesterday afternoon about 4:30
o'clock at the family residence, No.
206 Orange street, after an illness of
about one week. Mr. Dock: aside
from being very aged had a heart
affection which with the grippe as a
contributory disease caused his death
at the hour named.
Deceased was in the 80th year of bis
age, having been born m Bteinau,
Germany, March 24th, 1821. He had
lived with his son for a long number
of years and because ' of his quietude
and unostentatious disposition, he was
known to few people in Wilmington
but those who were in the circle of his
acquaintance speak in the highest
terms of his character and worth.
The funeral will be conducted this
afternoon from the residence of his
son by the Rev. Dr. A. G. Voigt,
pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
and the interment will be in Bellevue
Cemetery. '
Messrs. Fred W. and A. A. Dock,
grandsons of the deceased, arrived
yesterday from Oak Ridge Institute
where they are in college, and will
attend the funeral.
"EAST LYNNE" LAST NIGHT.
Ever Popular Piece Played to tbe Largest
Audience of the Week.
The old familiar and ever popular
"East Lynne" was presented to a
large audience at the Opera House
last evening by the Crescent Stock
Company, which has already 'estab
lished itself very favorably with Wil
mington theatre goers ; in fact, the
almost unanimous verdict of the public
is that Mr. Simkins, the owner of the
attraction, has brought to the city this
time the best repertoire company that
has played in Wilmington in many
years. The house last night was the
largest since Monday and the com
pany creditably sustained its standard
of former evenings.
To-night Mr. Simkins puts on the
strongest bill of the season "Master
and Man" introducing the famous
furnace scene and which has! never
been given in Wilmington before, at
popular prices. It is confidently' ex
pected that the crowd will be even
larger than last night and Beats should
be secured early. At the family matinee
to-morrow afternoon at 2.30 P. M.f
an appropriate play will ba put on
and a handsome gold watch, now on
exhibition at the jewelry store of
Dingelhoef Bros., on Market street,
will be given away absolutely free of
cost.

The following letter to the editor of

the sportsmen of Wilmington where
the writer formally resided, and who,

old-time love for dog and gun :
Woburn, Mass . Jan. 21, 1901.
My Dear. Sib I know that as a
sportsman you are thoroughly inter
ested in the preservation of the. game
birds of your State. I have visited
Nortn (Jarolina, sometimes more than
once annually, for many years, and
have been pained to learn how utterly
her game laws are disregarded. I re
fer particularly to the netting, trap
ping and shippme of auau from the
State. When in Greensboro a few
weeks ago, a friend told me that from
one email station, the shipments
averaged a case of one hundred and
twenty birds per day. I have! hunted
in Chatham county for many years,
and for tho last the years have
noticed that birds are becoming
scarce.
Louisiana and some other States, to
stop soaring, trapping and pot hunt
ing, have passed a law prohibiting the
sale of birds; I have noticed the bene
ncial effects of tnis Jaw. .. May 1 as a:
you to use your personal influence
with tbe proper committee of your
Legislature to have such a law passed!
I shall be very glad to hear from you
at your convenience. You may re
member me as a former resident of
your city.
Fraternally yours,
Geo. G. Barker,
