Plans Drawn and Con tracts Awarded. COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY. The Court Room to be Remodelled and Plenty of Exterior Painting to be Done Jail Will Also Come In for a ' Renovation. If the city hall is going to put on airs and likewise plenty of attractive paint, to say nothing of the remodel ling, etc., to be done for the better accommodation of its employes and citizens in general, why so is the court house. ' Our live county fathers' are not to be bested. Yesterday afternoon the building committee of the board, composecLof Commissioners McEachern, Holmes and Tollers, met and brought to a focus the court house improvements that have been in contemplation for some time. They considered and awarded bids, in accordance with plans drawn by Mr. H. K. Bonitz, to different parties. To M. W. Divine & Co. was awarded the work for the painting; to the Wilmington Iron Works for the carpenter work, and to J. W. Han by for the brick work. These improvements will also include some paint work and repairing at the jaiL The main improvement at the court house will be an entire rearrangement of the court room, so aa to give better ventilation, and a larger seating ca pacity. According to the present arrangement of things the judge's and clerk's desks, witness stand and jury box are situated in the western side of the room, and consequently the seats for spectators face the west. Accord ing to the new plans the judge's desk. etc., will be placed in the southern part of the room. The clerk's desk will not as heretofore bs directly in front of his honor's rostrum, but will be on the left or western side,- with the jury box and witness stand opposite. This alteration will give twice the ventilation as before, as a direct draft from windows to windows will then be obtained. Another advantage will be the increased seatio&r caDacitv which will amount to something like two hundred, all the old seats and additional new ones being placed, of course, so as to face the south side. Another benefit will be a shortening of distance between the jury box and the jury room. L The acoustics of the room are also to be improved. - ; The painting of the court house will be mostly exteaior, and will be a retouching of all the wood work, such as window casings, etc. At the jail a new front piazza is to be built and necessary painting is to be done. Some brick work will also be done. The painters will get to work at the exterior at once, bat the remodelling of the court room will not commence until after the term of the Superior Court next month. The workmen will then have about three weeks in which to make the arrangement be fore the convening of the same court in August. A BOLD NEGRO THIEF. Snatched a Small Sack of Money Prom a Store-Keeper and Ran, Bat Was Pursued and Caught. A young negro man, James Howe, Jr., was arraigned in the police court yesterday morning charged witn rob bery. The crime was a bold one, and is' described as follows: Howe was employed at a store, cor ner McBae and Grace streets, and 8aturday night about 10:30 o'clock, .the manager, Mr. A. L'. Mercer, in formed him that he could "go, - but he expressed his intention of staying, and waiting for Mr. Mercer. It was midnight when business for the' day concluded. Mr. Mercer, after placing what money he bad on hand in a sack amounting to 127. left the store accompanied by Howe. Upon turning his back in order to lock the front Howe snatched the sack of money and made a dash down Orace street. Mr. Mercef followed in hot Dursuit and fired hia pistol t the retreating thief. Then Howe became frightened and threw the money over a nearby fence, where it wa recovered, but kept on in hia flight. Finding that he was unable to catch the thief Mr. Mercer stopped the mirsuit for the time and went to tne City Hall and obtained the assistance f Police Sergeants Burnett ana unm- ley, who later ran the culprit to cover on Twelfth street in the rear m me nitv TTnsnital. .-..'- Yesterday morning-Howe was iriea by the Mayor and bound oyer to the Stiuerior Court.

The Stab announced Sunday that it was rumored that a postponement, of the State Guard encampment was very probable- Now it looks as though such a course lacks but little of being a! certainty. From our Raleigh correspondent came the following special telegram last night; Raleigh, June 24. A prominent staff officer of the State Guard said to night that it was highly probable that the encampment will be postponed ten days. All staff officers so recommend. There will be a meeting here to mor row when definite action will be taken. Postponement is necessitated by short supplies and impossibility to procure additional equipment by July tenth.. National Government will not issue new supplies until July ist, which could not possibly be distributed in time for the encampment on the tenth. The encampment' committee in Wil mington is still progressing in the solicitation of funds.. Bankruptcy Case Yesterday. Yesterday Samuel H. MacBae, Esq., of Fayetteville, acting as referee, de clared a dividend in the case of G. K. MassengiU, of Dunn. This was the first dividend.

The Charlotte Hornets will play their first three games in Wilmington July lltb, 12th and 13th. The Bryan aggregation, now of Tarboro, will play the Giants here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Congratulations of the horse editor to the vivacious Vorhees. There's nothing "short" about him. The sting of t Hornets, may strike the Turtles in a tender spot to day sag in the region of the narra tive. The tall and terrible twirler from "down home" was too much for the young man who hurled the sphere for the late Shipbuilders. It looks like pitcher High is play ing low on the New Orleans cranks; and he is not giving them any game, either. He was last reported in Balti more. The Hornets made a vigorous at tack on the Turtles yesterday, but the shells of the latter couldn't be pen etrated. The Giants will ride the Turtles at Raleigh July 4th, 5th and 6th. Two games will be played on the 4th, and the attendance should be a crusher, as the Raleigh people will have nowhere else to go, except the cemetery. A'stfenback's Tartars were care less. Tou see. he is playing St Tar boro, on Tar river, and his boys got too much tar on their heels. This is good for "stick" work, as was proven by the fact that they couldn't run. The Norfolk Landmark, refer ring to the game of Saturday, says : The Skippers lacked one game from Wilmington for winning the cham pionship of the first half of the sea son." Well, they got that game: but they still "ifT" the championship. The GiaVt pennant-winners are expected to arrive here at 9:25 A. M. Thursday. All the cranks should meet them at the depot and give them a cordial reception. At the same time,, we can tender Ashenback'a Tartars the freedom of the city and a full com plement of goose eggs. The new regular series will end September 2nd (Labor Day) as fol: lows: Raleigh At Wilmington; Rich mond at Norfolk; Tarboro at Char lotte. There will be two games, morn -ing and afternoon, at each place. Afterwards the teams leading in the two series will play a special series for the championship. . . Charlotte, N. O., June 34. No ac tion was taken here to-dav regarding the Portsmouth team, but it is sup posed that Manager Clark will accept Charlotte's first offer of $1,000 per month guarantee, as his team played in Raleigh to-day as representing this city.

FOR THE STATE NORMAL. Donation of Ten Thousand Dollars by Mr. George Poster Peabody, of New York City. From a communication sent to the Star by President Mclver, we con dense the following concerning a do nation to the State Normal and Indus trial College : . "Mr. George Foster Peabody, of New York, has just given President Mclver 10,000 (or the btate normal and Industrial College. Of this amount $5,000 is to be used in develop ing an Educational Park on the col lege grounds, and the other $5,000 is to become available for supplying some other need of the college as soon as a certain sum shall be raised by President Mclver and the friends of the institution. "The Educational Park is a unique idea. The college owns 125 acres of land, about one-half of which is very broken and is in forest. This is the exercise ground of the students. It is proposed to beautify the Park and to make several miles of well-graded walks through it. Each attractive spot hill, spring and dale is to be dedicated to some great educational leader or event, and to be marked by a block of granite with appropriate inscription. Most of these blocks will be secured by private donation, and it is hoped that various people will provide pavilions and rustic seats near the monuments in which they are most interested. "It is intended to emphasize the idea that the deeper and broader develop ment of a State's civilization is educa tional rather than military or politi cal, however important the latter may be;.- thjit . the renowned .'victories of peace,' so much lauded, are wrought through education and culture. "Mr. George Foster Peabody is a native of Georgia, He is a distant relative of the great philanthropist, George Peabody. whose gift of three million dollars to the public schools of the South in 1867 has done so much for this section." - City Officials' Conference Last Night. The Board of Audit and Finance and the Finance Committee of the Board of Aldermen held a conference last night on the tax ordinance.

" - , . r - . SAVINGS BANK SUED. A Beautiful Question of Law Brought for First Time Be fore the-Courts. PLAINTIFF, NEQR0 DEPOSITOR Suing for Money Paid On a Forged Check JSVhich Was Presented at the Bank With the Deposit Book by the Forger. A civil action involving a decidedly interesting question of law and one probably new to the courts of North Carolina, was tried in JusticeJFowler's court yesterday morning.. It was one brought by Frank L. James, colored, through his counsel, Messrs. Meares & Rjiarjjr, agglBft flm Wilmington :Sav 1 logs & Trust Company for the recov ery of $8.50, which was drawn from the bank by an alleged forged check, which when presented at the bank "was accompanied by the depositor's book. The check was made out and cashed by two negro men who had stolen James' bank book from a pocket of his coat, which he claims was banging on a nail in the dining room of the Bonitz Hotel, where he was working. The check, accompanied by the book was presented for payment at the Savings Bank, and the cashier, Mr. C. E. Tay lor, Jr., not knowing James or bis signature and having the deposit book in hand, paid the check. Shortly af terwards James appeared at the bank. . stated the theft of his bank book and pronounced the signature on the check a forgery. He afterwards de manded $8.50 of the bank, but pay, ment was refused. Efforts were also made to capture the forgers, whom it was suspected were former porters at the hotel, but without success. The alleged theft and subsequent. forgery happened about a year ago and several days ago James brought suit against the bank for' the recovery of the $8.50. The suit was tried yesterday and ably argued, Eugene S. Martin, Esq , representing the bank, and Robert Ruark, Esq., the plaintiff . Mr. Martin held that the bank was not responsible for the loss, aS Section 3 of the bank rules, printed in the de posit book, state: As the officers of the company may be unable to identify every depositor transacting business at its office, the company will not be responsible for loss sustained where payment has been made upon a presentation of a deposit book. In all cases a payment upon" the' presentation of a deposit book may be a discharge to the com pany of the amount paid in, etc." He also cited cases from different States, prominent among which were decisions held in the State of Massa chusetts to the effect that Savings Banks are not responsible for money paid out on presentation- of deposit books. 4 Mr. Ruark also cited different authorities to sustain his position and submitted Section 2, of the bans: regu lations referred to by Mr. Martin, viz: "Money deposited shall'only be drawn by the depositor or some person legally authorized, viz: on presenta tion of the check for amount signed by the depositor, etc. " If Section 3 was inconsistent with Section 2, Mr. Ruark said, then it must fall, and that under the standing sec tion, No. 2, the bank had not observed ordinary precautions in paying the check, which was drawn at the bank building and in the presence of the cashier. He also thought that Mr. Taylor, the cashier, should have had a signature book. Mr. Martin claimed that the matter of precaution was with the depositor, to take care of the deposit book. Justice Fowler reserved his decision until this morning. The case consumed about three houis in trial, most of the time being devoted to the lengthy arguments. WORK OP LIGHTNING. Barn Destroyed by Fire and Live Stock Bnrned to Death. Mr. J. T. Kerr, who owns a farm at Acorn Branch, about five miles" from the city, was a heavy loser by Sunday night's severe storm. While the ele ments were raging, fiercest, lightning struck and set fire to his barn, which was a- Urxa two-atory fetkmo bttildino situated a hundred or so yards from the dwelling house. As soon as the fire was discovered, which was shortly after the bolt had hit the house, Mr. Kerr and the farm hands attempted to put it out. But it was a useless task, as the flames made rapid headway in spite of their efforts and the heavy rain. They also tried to save the live stock, which consiste of a fine cow and five mules. He: too, their efforts were almostfutile, as the cow and two of the mules were burned to death before they could reach them. The three remaining mules were burned so badly that they will probably die. Mr. Kerr estimates his loss at $1,500. The pair of mules burned to death cost $400.'
