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 likely that the entire clay's session will be required to complete ine near- rw set for to day on tne.caienuw are W. T. Dorch, administrator et aL, vs. W. T. Bannerman, and u.

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.

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." Hooker plays a much better -.game than he did last season mington, 0a Other Dlamoads Yesterdsy.

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.
