PENNY VS. RAILROAD.
Interesting Damage Suit Begun
Yesterday Afternoon in the
Superior Court.
i.
WANTS VERDICT FOR $20,000.
Hearlsi WUI Ukely Coasnmc AU of To
iay'a SesslMTcttlmoay for Plila
tlff Received and Mitioa to Dis
miss Denied Other Notes.
After a recess since Thursday the
Superior Court convened for the sec
ond week of the term yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock. Judge Hoke ar
rived on the afternoon S. A. L. train
and called the court together at 2
o'clock, but a recess was taken until 8
o'clock P. M. - ;
The first case taken up was that of
B. F. Penny against the W.. O. & A.
R. R , in which the plaintiff sues the
defendant for alleged damage in the
sum of $20,000. Particulars of the
suit are well known to readers of this
paper. Mr. Penny was a passenger on
one of the defendant's trains and was
going to Leland, N. C, on Sunday,
Sept. 18th, 1898. Just before reaching
Leland the conductor in charge of the
train had some words with a negro
named Sam Callaway, who became
obstreperous in the car. When the
train reached Leland the negro was
ejected from the car and in leaving he
drew a revolver and fired twice at the
conductor, one of the balls taking
effect in Mr. Penny's abdomen and
very dangerously wounding him.
Negligence on the part of the con
ductor in not warning the passengers
of the danger is charged in the com
plaint. I
The defendant's attorneys in their
answer say that no negligence was
shown upon the part of the conductor
in charge, nor is it shown that he did
not exercise due care for the safety
of his passengers.
The ease was called at once upon the
convening of the court and is .being
hard fought by both sides. Messrs.
Franklin McNeill, A. J. Marshall,
Bellamy & Bellamy and Eugene 8.
Martin appear for the plaintiff and
Messrs. Junius Davis, Bellamy &
Peschau and Rountree & Carr are
loosing after the interests of the rail
road company. About an hour was
consumed in selecting a jury,' both
sides having exhausted their peremp
tory and challenges for cause.
The following jury was at length
agreed upon and a trial of the case
enter d into: W. R- 8mith, E. T.
Jewell, J. Q. Skipper, C. J. Reaves,
C. Schulken, J. a Canady. W. H.
Alderman, Joseph Silvia, R. M. Wea-
cott. Samuel Bear, Sr.7 Louis Gordon,
Thomas EL Maxted. i
Thr jury was selected! from the
eighteen men summoned forthewefek.
a special tales jury ordered summoned
Thursday at 4 composed of Messrs. W.
E. Mann, C. H Edens, W. M. God
win, B. Kelley, Jos. Silvia, Fred. W.
Dick, W. E Springer, and the fol
fol lowing summoned from bystanders
in the courtroom: Messrs. A. J. Hill,
O. A, Wiggins, D. D. Cameron, R.
M. Wescott, L J Sternberger, Taos,
EL Johnson, L Northrop, Wm. Simp
son, J. P. Brewer, Ed. Capps, W. A.
McLeod, Samuel Bear, Sr., Louis
Gordon, Thos. EL Maxted. !
The usual issues in such cases were
agreed upon as follows: j
"Was the plaintiff injured by the
negligence of the defendant?
"Did the plaintiff by his own negli
gence contribute to his injury?
"What damage, if any, has plaintiff
sustained-" !
The plaintiffs attorneys introduced
as witnesses Mr Penuy, the plaintiff;
Dr. F. El. Russell, his attending phy
' mw TTak A wr M (TO
sician, ana ta.r. vu
who was a passenger on . the train
when the shooting occurred. The
plaintiff then rested its case, and a
motion was made by defendants at
torney to dismiss. The motion, was
overruled by Judge Hoke, j and an ex
ception was taken, j
Tbe court adjourned loritne aay
6:30 o'clock and tbe case will be taken
up again this morning at j 1Q o'clock,
whan the defendant will inuroauce
testimony and argument will be made
to the jury by counsel. It is very

It was all Wilmington's fault that
she lost the game yesterday to Rich

high order that has thus far charac

and the Grays easily took the Giants
into camp by a score of 8 to 7, the win
ning runs having been made on cost
ly errors by Wilmington in the ninth
inning.
The weather was cold and threat
ening, and it was not a day for quick,
snappy ball, though there was some
strong individual playing that clearly
indicated that under ordinary circum
stances Wilmington has much the
better team. A cold drizzling rain be
gan in the first inning, but ceased
soon after the second and gave the
800 people present their first experi
ence with league ball this season.

All roads led ' to Hilton yesterday
including the street railway.
Several Wilmington people saw their
first game of base ball yesterday.
It was like drawing a sight draft
on a blind man Wilmington could
not see how 'twas done.
Manager Skelding and Chief Con
ductor Sheehan, of the Street Railway
Company, handled the crowds well.
Manager Kain has a lot - of clever
young fellows in the "Grays." It's a
pity they have to go up. against Wil
mington so often just at the opening
of the league, but if yesterday's rec
ord is to be kept up they will begin
climbing the per centage column.
Spaulding makes a good ball thy
stand McGinnis' hitting so well.
Umpire Clark, of Norfolk, who
officiated at the game yesterday, is all
right He came along with the Rich
mond team at noon yesterday .
the Richmond Grays arrived at
UfcOS o'clock yesterday afternoon over'
the 8, A- L; ' railroad. They have,
headquarters at the Fulton House;
and are twelve men strong.
The visiting players were given a
box party at the theatre last night by
Mr. J. A. Arringdale, who has heart
and soul in the game.
Mr. Strudwick Nash is official scorer
for the games' here; Mr. Frank Tur
rentine ticket agent and Mr. Welter
Molntyre grandstand gate keeper.
"Brownie" Foreman and Cranston
will form the battery for Wilmington
today and will give us some of the
real article. Delaney will go in right
field, and the other players will be
the same as yesterday. The batting
order will be: Warren, Cranston,
Crockett Stafford, McGinnis, Clay
ton, Allen, Delaney and Foreman.
Manager Peschau has signed Champ
O'Steen, a well known outfielder of
Greenville, 8. O, who will come at
once. He is said to be a whole team
within himjelf.
Vorhees had not hardened up to the
game yesterday and he asked to be re
lieved in the fourth inning. Stewart
took his place and pitched a magnifi
cent game.
The Return From Rich mood.
Manager Peschau and the "Giants"
were given little less than an ovation
when they reached the city Sunday
evening. -Between 750 and 1,000 peo
pie met the team at the station and
gave the glad band to allhom. 'The
Cowan Livery Company with its
characteristic enterprise, had a dozen
Carriages and traps in waiting for the
conquering . heroes" and when they
got out of the shed "Fanatic" Frank.
8hepard bundled them all in and sent
them rolling down to The Orton.
They are all good fellows and as a
Portsmouth paper says, "love one ,
another like brothers."

than he did last season

THE EFFECT OP THE COLD
Nas Not Been So Disastrous As Was at
First Expected.
Truckers in the city from sections
adjacent to Wilmington and from up
the several railroads leading into the
strawberry belt were not. disposed to
be gloomy yesterday over the abnor
mally low temperature that has been
prevailing for several days.
A majority of those in the city yes
terday expressed the opinion that the
chief damaging result by the con
tinued cold weather was a delay of
all crops rather than actual injury to
the plants. Garden peas, Irish pota
toes and the like were nipped in some
sections, but growers seem to think
that Strawberries were pretty gener
ally covered with straw and saved
from any real damaging effect.
FRUIT AND PRODUCE TRAVELLERS.
Annual Meetlnr of tbe Association WUI be
Held Here Saturday.
The American Fruit and Produce
Travellers' Association, as previously
announced, will meet in Wilmington
next Saturday. It was at first thought
best, owing to the lateness of the sea
son, to postpone the meeting, but the
executive committee yesterday morn
ing further considered the matter and
decided to let the date remain as orig
inally fixed.
An afternoon session will be held
at 3 P. M. at The Orton, and the regu
lar session will be held in the rooms
of the Merchants' Association, in the
S. A. L. building, at 8 P. M. A large
attendance is confidently expected
and an enjoyable occasion is assured.
AIoaqnio to Port RoyaL
The revenue cutter Algonquin will
leave at daylight this morning for
Port Royal S. C, where it will be as
certained if she can go on the govern
ment dry dock there for her semi
annual overhauling. If the dry dock
at Port Royal is not large enough to
receive the cutter, she will be sent to
Baltimore, it is presumed. The print
cipal work required to the vessel is a
scraping of her hull, whch will be
undertaken in a month or two.
