THE CRIMINAL COURT Grand Jury Finished Up Its Work Yesterday and Was Dis charged for Term. A RECORD - (MAKING JURY. It Has Been Oat Thirty-Six Honrs aid is Stin Withoot aa Agreement Cases for Retailing Liq aors Convicts Seat to Coaoty Roads. The jury which has under consid eration the case of Mrs. Mary Wil liams, charged with retailing rice beer without license, is making a record for itself in the criminal court annals of the county. At the hour of going to press yesterday morning the Star an nounced that no verdict had been reached in the case and Judge Bryan and the court officers are confronted with the same situation this morning. It is learned, unofficially ' of course, that the twelve men are divided this morning, seven for conviction and five for acquittal. During the day yester day it was eight to four. The case went to the jury at 6:30 o'clock Monday evening and has been under consideration thus far about 36 hours. Yesterday different members asked that the jury be dismissed, but last night they preferred to re main in session until this morn ing. The matter is a trivial one and J udge Bryan very sensibly is averse to allowing them to make a mistrial of the case until it is fully demonstrated that there is no possibil ity of an agreement. The jury is com posed aa follows: J. B. Watters (fore man), W. F. Melton, J. D. Baldwin, J. W. Branch, L. Southerland, B. M. Hill, A J. Yopp, J. L. Sutton, E. T. Mason, L. C. Craig, E. W.Rogers and J. Farmer. Another case against Mrs. Williams for a similar offence was .taken up yes terday morning in the Criminal Court and the defendant found guilty at 4 o"clock yesterday afternoon after a lour Hours' consultation by a jury composed of the following: W. K Walker, John McBntee, D. S. Gurga nus, Jas. J. Smith, J. H. Dew, J. E. Hewett, . H. Maxted, W. T. Bitter, R.T. Pickett, J. B. Kelley . T. P. Sikes and E. H. Davis. Sr. The verdict was received by the clerk after the ad ournment of court and no judgment has been pronounced. Two other cases were continued untill next term, Mrs. Williams having given bond in the sum of $200. The grand jury also returned yester day four true bills against Mr. C. E. Collins for retailing malt liquors with- 4 out license at Hiltou, Park. Defend ant gave cash . bond of $200 and the cases weft continued. There were also various and sundry other true bills for retailing beer without license yesterday, all of which went over under bond until next term. The following prisoners sentenced to terms on the county roads at this session have been sent out to the stockade: King Bell, 3 months; An drew Anderson, 4 months; Jackson Browing, 18 months; George Clark, 12 months ; Son Carter, 3 months; Geo. Dixon, 36 months; Jno. Ellerbee, 6 months; O. How land, 12 months; Thos Jenkins, 12 months; Sam Minor, 8 months; Willis Mack, 4 months; Leroy Perry, 3 months; Andrew Smith, 4 months; James' Spencer, 4 months; Jno. Stewart, 18 months; John Hudson, 6 months. 'The con victs are all colored and are fifteen in number. The aggregate of their sen tences is twelve years and nine months. The Grand Jury came into court, made the following report, and was discharged for the term by Judge Bryan : To His Honor, Judge E. K. Bryan, Eastern District Criminal Court, June term: We the grand jury respectfully sub mit the following report: We have acted on 77 bills, found 60 true bills, 4 not true bills, returned 7 for lack of witnesses and have made 7 present ments. We wish to call the court's attention to the great inconvenience that we nave been subjected to on account of the absence of witnesses, at times being compelled to suspend work. We suggest that a punishment be inflicted upon witnesses failing to at tend upon the sessions of the Grand Jury. Jail We visited the jail in a body and made a thorough examination of the jail and premises and found them in fair condition. We recommend that the corrugated iron ceiling and the cement flooring in the basement h. renair : also a leaking closet in th wnnrn.n'a apartment and a sewer vent on he outside of the building w fur er recommend that the reg ittAra- which collect a great deal of imwhnksnme matter, be taken up. clAanad and covered over for the Snmmftr Tha hot air nines to tne should be painted for protec tion against rust.

We rec d that in the future they be fed twice a day. and that vegetables be given them at least once week.

The Court House We have made an examination of the Court House and recommend that shelves be built in the west basement room for the pre ha r va tion of old books and records that are no w scattered about the floor.

The Wil hmington Giants used hits to advan tage; the Red Birds didn't. That tells the story of the letter's downfall a second time to day. However, it was one of the best and closest games seen here this season. Many opportunities came to the Red Birds with men on bases, but there they died for want of much desired hits. Raleigh was always at its worst when the bases were full. Allen pitched magnificent ball, though he gave more bases than Stanley, who was disco vrred by the Giants at oppor tune time giving them their runs. Raleigh scored only in the first inn ing. Bui u. iettrand singled and stole second; Sherman lined out a. two bagger, bringing in LeGrand. Yena- ble got a-free pass to first. Stanley retired the side with two men on bases on allowance of a fly to Devlin. The Giants got three hits in third, but then failed to score, Stafford strik ing out with second and third bags oc cupied. Jordan, for Raleigh, also fanned out in the third with three men on bases. Wilmington made her runs in the, fifth and sixth innings, when two men had been retired. In the fifth, Clay tost singled, Crock ett drove out a douule and Clayton scored on a single by Stafford. The ruff in the sixth was scored by a free pass to Devlin, ' a sacrifice hit by Warren and a single by Cranston. The Senators in the sixth lost a good opportunity when Sherman singled, Venable drew four balls, Sherman went to third on a wild throw, Stanley came up and Yenable started to second. Sherman dashed towards home, when heady "Tacks" Allen held the ball and put Sherman out at the home plate. There was another ineffectual effort to score by the Senators in the ninth, when King Kelly could not get a hit and let two men die on bases. Another Account of the Game. Raleigh, N. C, June 11. Inability of the Senators to hit Allen at critical times lost to-day's game. Both teams put up a snappy game. Thackara started in to catch for the GianU, but asked to be relieved before the first inning was completed.

Next week Wilmington will play three games each 'at Portsmouth and Norfolk. Norfolk landmark: "'Brownie' Foreman has been signed by Ports mouth." Mr. Harry Mace will likely of ficiate at the games here the remainder of the week. Let us hope he'll not prove another Clarke. The Raleigh papers were profuse in their apologies and explanations for the loss of the first game. Doubt less they will serve up the same dishes in the form of cold "vjttles" to-day. In to day's game, Capt Stafford will introduce to Mr. Kelly, a gentle man named Vorhees, who is known in Wilmington. He will eoVer the lab for the Giants and Dame Rumor I " ' z iM " has it that he will in all probability win his game. For further particulars, wire Mr. Kelly after this afternoon's game. The horse editor takes infinite pleasure informing the whole editorial shooting-match" of Raleigh that the Giants are just an even 100 ahead of the Red Birds in the percentage column. The religious editor of the Raleigh Post says of our young man from Monroe: "Stewart is one of the best pitchers in the league. He is a young ster and has a good head in the box." Mr. E. Devlin, of Washington, D. C, father of Wilmington's right fielder, writes that he has twenty-five to fifty visitors every day who come to read the accounts of base ball printed in the Star. To morrow will be a great day with the Wilmington cranks and crank esses, and the grand stand (the horse editor's terraced floral conserva tory) and the bleachers ought to be crowded. The struggle between the Giants and the Red Birds will be Titantic. Tallied even with Mr. Stanley on strike outs; outplayed him all 'round, and had the impudence to hit him for two cushions. Thus did Mr. George Allen, of Williamsport, Pa., the "boy wonder" of the league; the grand stand idol at Wilmington, and the clever, good natured little ball player that he is. The following appeared in this column last Saturday, the day after Allen pitched the game that was lost to Norfolk by one run : "There's no use in criticizing Allen hastily. As a rule, he is one of the coolest, headiest players in the league; and when he is in the box he not only pitches a good game, but he plays well outside the box." Allen's work in the box at Raleigh yesterday verifies this esti mate of his capacity. This is from the Post, one of the a)m rers of the Red Birds, alias cooked'' lobters: "Some time in the dark and distant future the Red Birds may win a game from the giant lobsters who babiute around Wil mington, but the moon will have to make several changes and luck will have to do some side stepping before the much-hoped -for happens." The Newborn excursion here on Thursday to see the Raleigh game is assuming tangible shape. Fifty of the necessary one hundred persous have been secured to pledge their fares and the entire number was expected to be forthcoming yesterday. Wilmington rooters will be glad of the reinforce ment from its sister city and bid them welcome each and every one. And the sporting editor of the News and Observer says Mr. Stewart, the twirler from the seacoast, was pounded well by the Senators. Later on, in an attempt to cover Mr. Stocks dale with flowers and fulsome flattery. it says he did "magnificent work." "is a fine pitcher," "had good control of the ball,'" etc, ad. infinitum. But the tabulated score showed up seven hits off him, against Ste wart's five; not a single run against Stewart's one; not a lonesome hit against Stewart's one; only two assists against Stewart's three; one great big error against Stewart's none. It's an old saw, but the goring of the ox has much to do with the way some of us look at things. Games 0a Other Diameads.

The regular monthly meeting of Cape Fear Camp, No. 254, United Confederate Veterans, was held last evening in the W. L. I. Armory. Commander Metts presiding, and Cant. Henry Savage at his post as usual in the capacity of secretary. The treasurer read his usual report and the same was ordered on file. Commander Metts, as the only dele gate who attended the re union at Memphis, made a very interesting ver bal report of the proceedings. Rev. P. O. Morton and Mr. H. C. Lumsden were elected to membership in the Camp. In this connection, it was unanimously ordered that the Adjutant notify each member who has not furnished him with the regular application Wank, on or before Nov. 1st, that his name will be dropped from the roll of the Camp. On motion, it was ordered that $25 of the funds in the hands of the Treas urer be contributed to the W. L. I. towards the contemplated improve ments of the armory building. A communication from Mr. C. L. Patton, of New York, asking for pictures of North Carolina soldiers to be published in the History of North Carolina being prepared by Judge Walter Clark, Was read for inform tion of members. Commander Metis called attention to an oration recently delivered by CoL Bennett H. Toung and printed in the Memphis Commercial Appeal of May 19th, 1801. Capt Metts stated that it was well worth the reading of every veteran and he advised that it be secured of the publishers.

Teachers' Assembly Convened Last Night AT WRIQHTSVILLE BEACH. Addaesses of Welcome and a Response by Prof. Collier Cobb Lecture by Prof. Holmes, of the University The Meetings for To-day. Wriohtsvillk Beach, June 11. The Eighteenth Annual Session of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly was called to order to-night by the president, Prof. J. Allen Holt, of Oak Ridge. Owing to the fact that the great body of the members and visi tors of the Assembly will not arrive until to-morrow, the gathering at the opening was not very large, but; it represented the intellectual and sub Stantial element of the State. The sessions of the Assembly are to be held at the Seashore Hotel, where a commodious hall and com fortable appointments are provided. The meeting last night was opened with prayer by the Rev. A. M. Crox ton, of Monroe, N. C, followed by a graceful address of welcome by Wil mington's City Superintendent of Schools, Prof. J. J. Blair. He referred to the great value of the Teachers' Assembly to the educational interests of the State. It was through its efforts that the State Normal and Industrial College was established, and many other important educational move ments encouraged. He welcomed the distinguished gathering to Wilming ton, the most important city of the State, not only in point of population, but in many commercial and indus trial particulars and natural advan tages. He spoke interestingly of the Cape Fear river, with its many historic as sociations, supporting largely the com merce of a large section of the State, and floating ships representing all im portant maritime nations of Europe. He dwelt upon the attractiveness of Wilmington, its handsome buildings and its points of interests to the visi tors. Prof. Blair was followed by Col. A. M Waddell, our distinguished mayor. His address was largely impromptu, bnt was well delivered and full of grace and points of interest. He re peated the welcome to tije- great gath ering of the teachers of the State, of fering to them the hospitality of the city, which he said was a heredity of the people of Wilmington. He inci dentally told in his customary inter esting style the fact that the first pri vate donation in the State of any con sequence for the cause of education was made by Col. James Innes, of Wilmington, in 1754; a series of mis fortunes, however, keeping his bene faction from its purpose to a large ex tent. He told of his great interest in the subject of education, commenting upon the energizing influences brought to bear upon it in our community in the past few years. He desires to see educational facilities widely extended, and justice done to the State in point of its educational history as an in spiration for future progress. The response to the addresses of welcome was delivered by Prof. Col lier Cobb, of the University of North Carolina. He stated that it was a great pleasure to the members of the Assembly to be at Wilmington, which has contributed so largely to the in telligence and culture of the State, furnishing students to the great insti tutions of learning of the country. He referred to the fact well known to many here, that Wilmington had the honor of sending the first student to our State University, Hi n ton James, who entered as a student in 1795. He complimented the people of Wilming ton upon their constant interest in education and upon their cultivation of science and letters, mentioning the work of Dr. Wood and Dr. Curtis in botany, CoL Waddell and Mr. Sprunt in history, and Miss Bradley, Miss Cook, Prof. Noble and Prof. Alder man in education. In behalf of the Assembly he thanked the people of Wilmington for their cordial welcome. The feature of- the evening was the address by Prof. J. A. Holmes, the State Geologist, on the "Resources of North Carolina," which was illustra ted by a stereopticon. It was . an ad dress full of interest and instruction, well delivered and meriting a most careful study. His views showed principally the great wealth of the State in its fisheries and timber inte rests, which latter, however, has suf fered to an almost incalculable degree by the destructive forest fires which are started from time to time by many farmers for the purpose of improving the grazing for their cattle. He strongly urges measures to restrict such wanton waste of valuable timber. He spoke of the deplorable loss, also, of our once flourishing forests of long leaf pine, which every reasonable ef fort should be made to restore as far as possible. .The stopping of the forest fires, which destroy the seed, and a more judicious cutting of the turpen tine boxes would greatly contribute to this end. He interested the up country visi tors very much by exhibiting views of oyster culture and rice farming, sta ting that a great source of wealth, ca pable of immense development, lay in the oyster beds of North Carolina, when their cultivation is protected properly and conducted intelligently. An interesting feature of Prof. Holmes' address was Ms illustrations of the washing of lands, from which our State has suffered so seriously re cently. Jjhe remedy, for this would WHOT,K NO. 111. AAA I be the restoration of forests where needed and the deep plowing of the land in the up country to make the soil more porous and capable of ab sorbing rains. He wittily stated that he wished that our law-makers in Congress would be convinced that it was just as constitutional to prevent soil from being washed down into our rivers and harbors, as it is to dig it out at so great expense after it has gotten there. He closed his address by presenting various views of mountain scenery. two of which, by the way, showed trees of such massive size as to surprise those uninformed of the subject. A tree with a diameter-of ten feet would seem to belong more to California than to North Carolina, but they are produced by our State also. His address abounded in the sparkle of humor and the delight of persona reminiscence. lavitatioas Exteaded. While in the city members are in vited to use the offices of the County Superintendent of Public Instruction in the Court House and that of the Merchants' Association in the Sea board Air Line building. The trains will leave the beach each night at 10 o'clock and midnight, which is very convenient for those de siring to attend from the city. Those living in the city, however, see -the urgent need of a train to the beach be tween the hours of 6.30 A. M. and 10.30 A. M., as the exercises begin at 8.30 and it is necessary to leave at the early hour in order to reach the beach in time for thefopening session. Among the arrivals for the Assem bly yesterday were: Misses Bettie and Mary Wright, Dell Woodard and Mary L. Woodard, Coharie, N. C. ; W. P. Boger, Morganton; J. A. Mc Ar thur, Miss Jennie Mc Arthur and Miss Kate B. McPherson, Fayetteville; Charles L. Coon, Salisbury ; Miss M. W. Hali burton, Asheville; Prof. J. C.
