ARGUING THE CASE
Shepard .Suit Against Railroad
VViU BeConcluded Probably
v This Afternoon.
COUNSEL APPEAL TO JURY.
Whole Day's Session Taken Ub -With
Arjnment by the AttorneysTo Be
Contlnned To-day Namber of
Continuances Ordered.
The Shepard case in the Superior
Court will likely reach the jury late
this afternoon certaioly not earlier.
The session yesterday lasted until
after 6 o'clock in the evening and was
entirely taken up in argument to the
jury by counsel, four speeches
three for the plaint ff and one for the
defendant; having been made during
the day. One speech additional for
each of the parties to the suit will be
made to day, beginning at 10 o'clock
this morning ; then will come Judge
Hoke'a charge and the issues will go
to the jury. It is not anticipated that
a verdict will be returned early after
the jury retires, but it is expected
that it will take some time for an
agreement to be reached. There are
those, too, who express the opinion
that a mistrial will result, in which
eyent the long, tedious hearing will
have to be repeated at the next term.
The issues in the case have been
agreed upon as follows :
" Was plaintiff injured by the neg
ligence of the defendant ?
''Did plaintiff, by his own neglig
gence, contribute to his injury?
"What damage, if any, is plaintiff
entitled to recover!"
The argument yesterday morning
was opened by J. O. Carr. Esq., for
the plaintiff, who spoke about an hour,
contending that the defendant had
been negligent in causing the injury
and touching comprehensively upon
the other allegations in the complaint.
Mr. Carr was followed by Junius
Davis, Esq., for the defendant He
spoke for about an hour and a half
and at 12.45 P. M. a recess was taken
for dinner until 2 45 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the court again as
sembled and remained in continuous
session nntil the hour indicated above.
Mr. Davis contended that as the
tram which did the alleged injury
was upon a track of the Wilmington
& Weldon Railroad Company and as
this company enjoys immunity from
the city ordinance regulating the slow
rate of speed of trains passing over
the same, that a violation of the ordi
nance would not apply in this case ;
that, if it does, it is unreasonable and
void ; that there was na evidence that
defendant could have averted the ac
cident; that the trainmen very satu
rally thought the vehicle in wh ch
plaintiff was riding would con
form to the usual custom of stop
ping just before it reached the track ;
that there was no law or legal authority
to keep a flagman at the Crossing; that
there was no evidence but that the
plaintiff, with proper care, could have
sten the approaching locomotive. Mr.
Davis also reviewed the evidence of
both sides and concluded with an ap
peal to the jury to determine the
issues in honesty of purpose and with
out prejudice.
In the afternoon, George Rountree,
Eq., opened the argument for the
plaintiff and spoke for about an hour
and a half in a clear and forcible pre:
sentation of the law and evidence in
the premises. The alleged wanton
negligence of the defendant; its duties
to the public and the statutes govern
ing such corporations were all dealt
with in all the effect possible.
Herbert McClammy, Esq , was the
last to speak before adjournment in
the afternoon. He spoke for a little
more than an hour and a half and his
address to the jury consisted of a
careful review of the evidence and a
logical presentation of the facts to the
jury.
Hon. John D. Bellamy will address
the jury forthe defendant this morn
ing, and he will be followed by a final
argument by Marsden Bellamy, Esq.,
for the plaintiff. It is hardly expected
that both speeches can be concluded
during the morning, and the over
lapse, with Judge Hoke's charge, will
throw the submission of the issues to
the jury well toward evening.
The case is still attracting much at
tention, and the court room, was again
well nigh filled with spectators yester
day.
Twenty talesmen were ordered sum
moned for a trial of the case of H. E.
Bonits vs. F. T. Mills, but as the ses
sion n eared a close it was seen that the
matter could not be reached, and will
go over to the next term by a ruling
of the bar at the opening of the. court
Judge Hoke gave notice that the tales
men summoned need not attend.
The suits of R. W. Smith vs. Inter-
State Telephone Company and L J.
Sternberger vs. L Sbrier and wife,
originally set for trial on Wednesday,
have been continued. Continuances
have also been made in the case of W.
E. Worth & Co. vs. T. J. Fergurson &
Co., and in the damage suit of, B. F.
Penny vs. the W. C. & A. Bailroad.
The action brought by Mrs. Shepard
vs. the A. C. L. R R , of S., CL, will
also likely go over until next term, as
it was not reached on the day named
in the calendar.

SMALLPOX AT FAYETTEVILLE
at
Member of Cel. Cook's Family Thought
to Have Varioloid Statement of
Sitaatioo by Authorities.
The Fayetteville Observer of yes
terday afternoon prints an "official
statement" of the small pox situation
there in view of the alarming reports
which it says have gained circula
tion about ' the exact situation and
which to some extent were repeated
in Wilmington yesterday.
The statement is signed by Dr. Mc
Gougan, city physician; C. B. Mc
Millan, Mayor pro tern, and A. B.
Williams, chairman of the County
Commissioners. It recites pointedly
that three cases of the disease in mild
form appeared in the negro quarter of
the city three weeks ago; that experts
from tbe State Board of ' Health jjro
nouoced it mild ; that all , the cases
were removed to a pest house 4 miles
from the city, that all these patients and
a suspect, who subsequently contract
ed the disease, are convalescent and
have been discharged; that last
week the daughter of, a wash
woman of Col. W. 8. Cook's
family contracted the disease and was
sent to the pest houss; that on Friday
a member of Col. Cook's family was
found to have something like varioloid
and as a matter of precaution he
moved his family to the country. Mrs.
Cook and niece are now ill but physi
cians have not officially declared the
disease as varioloid. , Both are appar
ently doing well and are about the
house. Uol. Cook, who is mayor of
tbe city, and all members of his house
hold wilFremain away until all possi
ble danger has passed.
There is not a case of the disease in
Fayetteville, says the statement; the
schools are going on and there is no
interruption of business. With' the
observance of the usual precautions
the physicians say there is no danger.
Col. Cook and members of his fam
lly are are very well known in Wil
mington and friends will wish for
them an early deliverance from the
temporary inconvenience. Col. Cook
was in the city only a few days ago.
