CRIMINAL MATTERS.
March Term of Eastern District
Court lor New Hanover Con
vened Yesterday.
JUDGE BRYAN'S ABLE CHARGE
Urge Number of Cases Disposed of Yes
terday Proceedings Were Without
Special Interest Daring the Session-Fred
Stewart's Case.
The March term of the Eastern Dis
trict Criminal Court, Judge E. K.
Bryan presiding, convened yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. Solicitor
Rodolph Duffy, Clerk W. R. French,
Sheriff F. H. S ted man and all other
court officers were in attendance.
Barring the fact that it was the first
court held here by Judge Bryan and
the matter of his very comprehensive
and able charge to the grand jury,
the day's proceedings were devoid of
special interest though a very large
number of items on the docket were
disposed of. Sheriff Stedman return -the
list of those drawn for service on
the jury of which Messrs. W. R.
Barksdale, M. F. Croom, J. V. Qur
ley and George A. Warren were ex
ecuted. The following grand jury was
sworn with Mr. Schulken as foreman
and Mr. 0. M. Harries as officer in
charge: A. K. Heath, E. F. Lewis,
J. H. Harper, W. P. Woodcock,
Thomas Lawther, W. V. Hudson,
J. D. Bender, T. W. Meares, Or. W.
Rodgers, J. L. Hines, W. 8. Craig, C.
H. Schulken, J. J. Hawkins, E. L
Davis, William Lumsden, C. A. Tur
ley and T. J. Torpy.
With those excused and the above
named on the grand jury there were
left only four persons on the petit
jury and the complement was made
up from bystanders in the court room.
Judge Bryan impressed both the bar
and laity alike with his judicial bear
ing, and his explicit and very
able statement of the law to
the grand jurors. The charge con
sumed nearly an hour and dealt
with ail the important violations o;
the criminal law. The grand jury at
once began work in dead earnest and
sent up more than the usual number
of bills during the day. An adjourn
ment was had about noon until 3 P. M.,
and the afternoon session countinued
until 6 o'clock in the evening.
It has been agreed to have the week's
sessions begin at 9.46 o'clock each
morning and continue until 6 o'clock
in the evening, with a two hours' re
cess for dinner at 1 o'clock in the af
ternoon.

MRS. MARY S. THOMAS.
Aged Lady Died Sasdsy Night at Her
Home oa Market Street Funeral
Held Yesterday.
Mrs. Mary Sumner Thomas, relict of
the late Dr. William Q. Thomas, died
Sunday nieht at 9 o'clock at her home,
No. 510 Market street, in the 83rd
year of her age. Mrs. Thomas had
been in feeble health for several years,
but had been seriously ill only a few
days prior to her death.
Deceased was the daughter of the
late Hon. James W. Clark, of Tar
bo ro, N. C , who was at one time Gov
ernor of the State. She is survived by
three children, all of whom have the
sincere sympathy of numerous friends,
not only in Wilmington, but all over
North Carolina. They are Dr. George
G. Thomas, superintendent and sur
m in charge of the A. C. L. Relief
Department; Miss Belle Thomas, of
Wilmington, and Mr. Jordan 8.
T nomas, a prominent railroad man of
Charlotte. The last named survivor
arrived yesterday to attend the funeral.
Deceased was also an aunt of Capt.
Hay wood Clark, of this city.

Dr. Geo. G. Thomas, No. 819 Market

DAY FRAUGHT WITH INTEREST.
The Baptist Coagregatloos Enjoyed Visits
Sunday from Eminent Divines.
Sunday was a season of especial in
terest with the Baptist churches of the
city, made so by reason of the visits of
the Rev. Dr. E. E. Bomar, of Rich
mond, assistant corresponding secre
tary of Foreign Missions of the
Southern Baptist Convention, and the
Rev. Dr. J. B. Boone, supsrintendent
of the Baptist Orphanage st Thomas-
ville, N. C.
Dr. Bomar spake at the First church
in the morning, at Brooklyn church
in the afternoon and at Soutbside in
the evening. He impressed large au
diences at eachneeting with his in
tense earnestness and thorough knowl
edge of the subject in band. It is
dififcult to introduce something new
concerning a iopic so universally dis
cussed, but Dr. Bomar apparently
found it no task to speak inter
estingly and instructively of the work
in all its phases.
Dr. Boone visited the Baptist
churches during the day and evening
in the interest of a fund being gath ered
to found a technological branch
at the orphange as a memorial to the
late J. H. Mills, to whom the institu
tion to which Mr. Boone has the honor
to represent, owes its existence to day.
Tne churches at Wilmington were ex
pec ted to raise $150 to complete the
amount needed and Dr. Boone ex
presses himself as confident that this
sum will be given by the several con
gregations in the city end by indi
viduals. Dr. Boone was the guest of
Mr. D. L Gore while in the city.

A correspondent of the Star writing
from Point Caswell, March 9th, gives
an account of the launching at that
place on Friday of the new steamboat
J. A. Whitlock, reference to the build
ing of which was recently made in the
Star. Tbe new steamer has just been

Raleigh, N. C, March 11. The
mpeschment trial is postponed until
Thursday noon by order of tbe Senate.
he House will dispose of all public
business before entering upon the
trial. At noon to day the Cmrt of
mpeachment convened and the ac
cused judges, with counsel, and the
managers of. the prosecution with their
trial. The case being declared at issue,
the oath was administered by Presi - -dent
Turner, all the Senators, as
jurors, to try tbe case in accordance
with the articles of impeachment, the
answer and evidence presented. Then
followed a long discussion as to
whether the trial will proceed at once
or be postponed until Tbursdav or
Monday. The vote finally prevailed
postponing the trial until Thursday
noon, when it is thought the House
and Senate will have completed the
regular work of the Legislature. The
postponement is agreeable to counsel
on both sides. Senators not present to
receive the oath were Messrs. McNeill,
Foy and Burroughs.
The following bills passed final
reading in the Senate: To regulate
the stock law in Johnston county ; to
n corporate the Wayne and Sampson
Railroad Co ; to establish the stock law
in parts of Jones county.
The greater portion of the Senate
was spent in committee of the whole
considering tha Revenue act Tbe
clause taxing circuses elicited a long
and spirited discussion. The feature
imposing a State tax of $200 and giv
ing tbe county privilege to impose a
a tax from $800 to $1,000 was voted
down, and on motion of Morton the
tax as provided in the law of 1899 was
adopted. A motion b) Morton to make
the tax on theatres $150 instead of $200,
for towns of over ten thousand, was
lost No other amendments of note
was offered. The inheritance, tax
clause and several other clauses were
temporarily passed over.
Several bills were introduced.
among them one by Morrison supple
mental to an set regulating tbe sale of
liquor in Richmond county.
The Machinery act was the special
order st noon. An amendment by
Graham to n assess all property in the
State this year instead of 1903 was
voted down.
The London Libel bill, the same as
prepared by the committee of the
State Press Association, passed with
amendment not to affect pending
suits. The Senate concurred in the
amendment and the bill is now ready
for ratification.
Judge Connor asked leave to intro
duce a resolution which he asked be
adopted unanimously. He said it re
lated to one of the most venerable,
gifted and patriotic of North Carolin
ians OoL Oreecy. He paid high
tribute to Col. Oreecy. The resolution
was an endorsement of Col. Creecy's
history, or "Tales of a Grandfather,"
commending it to people of the State
and appropriating $300 to the State
Library to purchase copies. The res
olution was unanimously adopted.
McLean called up the bill placing
the A. and M. College under the charge
of the Board of Agriculture. He said it
was intended only to put a veil over
the eyes of the farmers. He moved it
be recommitted to the Committee on
Agriculture. Adopted.
A bill passed second reading to en
courage and promote public libraries
in country schools. It provides that
when the patrons of a free school con
tribute $10 for a library, the county
board shall contribute $10 and tbe
State board $10. The amount devoted
to this purpose by the State board not
to exceed $5,000.
Other bills passed: To amend the
dispensary law of Union county; to
amend the charter of the Goldsboro
Lumber Company ; to provide for sale
of property for taxes ; to establish a
dispensary at Lucama, Wilkes county ;
to encourage the breeding of poultry
and raise its dignity and importance;
to establish a recorder's court for Char
lotte; bill supplemental to the act pro
hibiting the sale of liquor in Cumber
land county ; to regulate the fees of
pilots in Beaufort harbor; to amend
chapter 85, Laws 1885, relating to the
statute of limitations running against
a judgment on a homestead, and to
amend section 60, sub-division 4 of the
Code.
The Revenue act came near being
killed on the second reading in the
Senate to-night The vote was 83 for
and 19 against the bilL It was under
consideration from 4.80 to 6.80. and
section 8 until 11 to -night Mr. Mor
ton was one of the principal oppo
nents. In explaining his vote he said
one of the great principles of ages past
and would be for ages to come, was
no taxation without representation;
that his month and the mouths of
many other Senators were closed by
the five-minute sag law rule and the
peremptory calling of the previous
question before many of the most
objectionable and important sections
were called at all and he proposed to
kill the bill if he could. There has
been no consideration of the income
tax. the inheritance tax clauses, ea;
those bearing upon banks, bnildin
and loan asspriatirms, telegraphs,
telephones and others. There must
Star
J4 U W
be many material changes before the
bill can possibly pass a third reading.
Four or five Senators who voted for
Lthe bill declared they did so merely to
save .time and would certainly oppose
unless a material ehange was made.
During the afternoon the privilege
tax sections were strongly opposed by
Mosjrison. He said on the same prin
ciple every farmer might with equal
justice be taxed five dollars for the
privilege of farming, yet not a Senator
dared vote for such a thing. All tbe
privilege tax clauses were passed with
ont material change. Tax of $50 for
eyeglass peddlers was reduced to $10.
he amendment to section 53 (taxing
pawn brokers $100) specifies that
causes in action, notes, bonds, stocks,
etc., are not included in the operation
of the section as applied to "persons
who advance money on pledge of per
sonal property. " The prospects are for
hard fight and many modifications
of the act on third reading.
During the session of the House to
night the following bills passed: To
regulate tbe employment of labor in
certain counties, -aotabl y Beaufort,
Wayne, Ed g combe, Pitt, Pender,
Washington; to return prisoners from
the S ate prison to the county from
whence sent; to amend the charter of
Louisburg; to amend section 1946 of
the Code relating to the condemnation
of property by railroads: to incorpo
rate the Raleigh and Virginia Railroad
Company; to regulate the sale of
iquor in Richmond county; to repeal
the charter of the Southport and Wil
mington Railroad Company; to au
thorize the commissioners of Rich
mond county to issue bonds; to pro
vide a State banking system.

ThdlHPhate Judiciary Committee
decided this afternoon by a vote of 7 to
4 to report favorably the bill to provide
pay for the Senate Court of Impeach
ment. Messrs. Henderson, London,
Morrison and Foushee gave notice that
they would oppose the measure on the
floor. Henderson argues there is no
constitutional right for such a course,
and that the House must continue in
session during the sitting of the court
Tbere was a joint caucus to night to
discuss the Election law. C onsiderable
progress was made; will probably
adopt the bill to morrow night

To the Citizens
of Wilmington:-
Having served yon to the best
of my ability as Alderman and Mayor
pro tern., respectively, in the past, I
hereby announce myself a candidate
for the office of Mayor of the City
of Wilmington. Feeling that the
opportunity for material advances in
the industrial affairs of onr
city is knocking at our doors as
never before and only needs the
guiding hand of a business man to
turn the tide our way, and being
vitally interested in au that tends
to the upbuilding of onr waste places,
the extension of our trade and com
merce and the future progress of
our city, I feel that were I at the
head of onr municipal affairs the
opportunity would thus be afforded
me to introduce in our city govern'
ment methods and policies that
would sooner or later become poten
tial factors in developing our re
sources, enable me to terminate my
official career satisfactorily alike to
myself and friends, and for the best
interests of all concerned.
To gratify this ambition, let me
say here and now that the emolu
ments of the office is a matter of
secondary consideration with me.
Although a busy man I pledge in
advance fidelity and loyalty to every
interest and every hour's time the
exacting duties of Mayor would de
volve upon me as well as the strict
enforcement of the law in letter
and spirit.
Respectfully yours,
Wm. E. SPRINGER.
