THE FEDERAL C0DRT. Case of H. T. Allen, ; of Lauria burg, May ComeUp To day for Trial. INSTANTER SUMMONS ISSUED . Matters From Comberltnd, Richmond and Scotland Now Only Remain Oa the Docket Other Work of tbe Session Yesterday. Few cases were tried in the United States Court yesterday, although rac- tically an all day session was held, it navmg. lasted until 4 o'clock in thn afternoon, when a recess was taken until 9:80 o'clock this morning. Today cases from Cumberland, Bichmond and Scotland counties will t taken up and upon their disposition, matters on " the admiralty, civil and equity dockets, which are really the my important naea of. the -term, will be heard. It is expected that the work of the term can be finished this week. The court yesterday met at 9:80 o'clock and the following proceedings were had: . ' Talmage Merritt, Bladen county, ixxuii uutuiung; pieaa not guilty; ver dict not guilty. ! Silas Norrls, Bladen county, Illicit distilling; nol prossed with leave. Walter Perkins, Bladen county, illicit distilling ; case ordered off docket. J. Q. Lewis, Bladen county, default ing witness; alias capias to next term. Wm. McKay, Harnett county, illicit distilling; plead not guilty; verdict guilty; SO days imprisonment and $100 fine; notice waived by district attor ney ; Cumberland county jail. Peter McDonald, Bichmond county, plead guilty of retailing; SO days in jail and fined $100 and costs. H. T. Allen, Scotland county, fraud ulent use of mails; order for subpoena ad testificandum for James W. Ham, aU.S. witness, instanter to Kinsey, Henry county t Ala. True bills for retailing were found by the grind jury against Phoebe Mc Neill, Elijah Perry and Peter Mc Donald. The ' Marshal summoned John A. Sutton as a tales juror for the day. If the grand jury returns a true bill in the case of H. T. Allen, of Laurin burg, mentioned above, it will easily be the most interesting criminal pro ceeding of tbe term. The circum stance of Allen's arrest at the instance of Poatoffice Inspector Jere Connolly for alleged fraudulent use of the mails is well remembered by read ers of these columns. He sold various recipes and, it is alleged, carried on a mail order business that was very much akin to a green goods scheme. Upon Ua other hand Allen's friends claim that be conducted a perfectly legitimate business, from which the returns were small and he can easily establish bis innocence at the trial. The witnesses in the case, many of whom are here, areas follows: In spector Connolly, Washington, D. C. ; W. H. Cooper, Laurinburg, N. C; Ira a. Cleary, Columbus, Ga.; James M. Ham, Kinsey. Ala.; J. T. Mc Eacbin, Laurinburg, N.C.; L. H. Petty, Parson, Tenn.; W. H. Pope, Augusta, Ga.; W. W. Cocke, Black ton, AJa. ; H. J. Cham well, Brook wood, Ala. ; Geo. J. Sutton, Pough keepsie, N. Y. ' Wm. & Booth, Rochester, N. Y.; J. H. Gregory, Morris Plains, N. Y. ; B. W. Caveniss, Southern Pines, N. C. ; P. D. Mat thews, Teacheys, N. C. Prisoners from Fsjettevlile. Denutv Marshal H. B.

All of them are charged with retailing without ' license except Jones and Howard, who sre charged with breaking into tne cis tern house of a U. 8. whiskey dis till aw in violation of the internal revenue law. They were not allowed to be brought to Wilmington earlier in the wees: be cause of the recent outbreak oijtmaii thA iail at Favetteville. Last nieht Deputy Marshal Everett brought with him a certificate from PnimtT Phvsician J.

The game was won on its merits and the Giants and their sympathizers have every reason to feel gratified at the re markable fine showing made against what is now conceded to be the best team in the League. How the game was lost to Wilming ton is told in the following detailed story: In the first inning, for Wilmington Cranston fanned and Crockett and Mc Ginnis flew out to right and third base. Spratt walked for Norfolk and "Red" Gilligan was allowed to run for him. Smith sacrificed and Mullen went out to pitch; E. Gilligan hit past second, scoring Spratt and Smith; "Red" Gilligan hit to third and on bad throw got first; Nelson, Morrisey and Mc Dade then went up and in quick succes sion succeeded in scoring two ' other men.

In the third Clayton hit to centre for three bags ; Foreman lined to sec ond: Cranston hit to right, scoring Clayton; Cranston stole second and was scored, by three bagger of Crockett to right; McGinnis singled to centre, scoring Crockett; Btairora unea to second and a double play retired the side. Gilligan, R., went out from short; Nelson was hit and walked; Morrisey hit safe to short; McDade grounded to third forcing Nelson, and j Wolf flew out to second. In the fourth "Thack" fanned; Osteen fiew out to short; Warren hit to third, safe on error: Clayton went out to short; Spratt went out to second; Smith walked; Mullen forced Smith at second, but on wild throw to first Mullen got third; dilligan EL, went out at first In the fifth. Foreman fanned Crans ton and Crockett flew out to second and short "Red" Gilligan for Nor folk hit to centre for three bags; Nel son went out from second; Morrisey went to short for two bags, but "Reddy" was thrown out at home home plate; McDade singled to centre, scoring Murray ; xnacsara inrew out McDade at second. In the fixth, McGinnis went out from short; Stafford walked; Osteen singled to left Thackara fanned f War ren flew out to centre. For Norfolk Wolfe and Smith fanned; Spratt was thrown out from third. In the seventh, Clayton. Foreman and Cranston went out from centre and short For Norfolk Mullen singled to second; Gilligan E, fanned; Mullen was caught between first and second; Gilligan R, out to centre.

FKIDAY, MAY 3, 1901. . Some General Ball Observations. When the Wilmington fanatics be gan to digest the returns from New port News in the last game there Wednesday,, there was an under cur rent of feeling that Vorhees pitched magnificent ball and the loss of the game' was attributed to other - sources. Hit record from the tabulated, score was good and there appearto4w every reason in the world that some other pitcher in the same game would not have done so well and might have done worse. At any ratefrom a base ball point of view, Vorhees is forgiven and good things are , expected of him in the future. Wilmington is anxious to see Nor folk on the home grounds. It will be a contest royal, with the odds in favor of Wilmington. The game in'detail will be received by Messrs.' White and Keen again to day at the office of Murphy & Co., and a large crowd should be present The "admission is only twenty-five cents, and there is every reason to be lieve that the Gianta wm wm to daj. For that reason it behooves every true sport to be in the office and see ex actly how it Is done. The returns will not be 'phoned to be posted at any place ih town. . Wilmington goes to fourth place in the League, but has a comfortable lead oyer Portsmouth and Richmond. Pretty soon she will have a safe posi tion above Newport News and Raleigh.

And Confined Only by Jorlsdictioa of the Southeastern Tariff Association. Companies Jost Can't Afford to Write Policies for Lest Effective s to policies dated after yesterday an advance .of ten cents is made in insurance rates onaIl mer can tile -stocks in the territory under the jurisdiction -of the Southeastern Tariff Association, which of course in cludes Wilmington and the entire State. The advance was decided upon at the recent annual meeting of the underwriters held at' Old Point Com- fort, TLe advance applies tor stocks of ' merchandise only and no other risks are affected. The field under the jurisdiction of the Southeastern Tariff Association com prises the States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and North Carolina. The tariff on mercantile stocks was increased for the simple reason, that the companies could not afford to write business longer at the old rates. In speaking of the reasons for the rise the Atlanta Constitution of May 1st, says: N "Frequently small blazes in store structures, that do not damage the building to any appreciable extent, cause a loss on the merchandise from water and smoke that runs' up into the thousands. There have been four such fires in Atlanta re cently. So, when the question was broached at the Old Point Con fort meeting the 'decision to ad vance the rates was practically unanimous. All of the compa nies in the Association had suffered in the same way. The managers say that their companies have lost more on mercantile stocks in the past two years than can be made in ten or fifteen years of profit "Notices have been sent out to the local agents all through the South that the new rates will go into effect today. Individually the companies in the Association will make the same advance in rates in Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, which States are not within the juris diction of the Tariff Association."
