Occasion to Congratulate New Hanover County. The work of 4he July term of ' the New Hanover Superior Court will likely be finished up to-day . and an ajournment.taken. All the jail cases were disposed of yesterday and there remains for to-day only a few odds ana ends which Solicitor Duffy thinks will require only a few hours for dis position. The grand jury failed . to return a true bill against Wm. Bennett charged with being: an accessory of John Haw kins in the murder of the negro in "Brooklyn" several, months ago and as soon as he answers the charge of gambling, a true bill for which was returned against all the participants in the card game over which the murder was committed, he will be released. Jim Hawkins, who was found guilty of murder in the second degree will receive his sentence from Judge Allen and then the principal amount of the days work will be done. Yesterday the court remained in session until af ter 7 o'clock in the evening and at that time argument was being made to the jury in one of the four cases against O. El Collins for retailing malt liquors without license. . The des. fendant is represented by Marsden Bellamy and Herbert McClammy, Esqs., while Solicitor Daffy is assisted in the prosecution by Robert Ruark, Esq. Mr. Collins has already been twice acquitted of similar charges at this term. The following is a record of the cases tried yesterday: Bessie McFadyen, embezzlement, ten months in county jail, with power to hire out. Wm. Watkins, assault and battery with deadly weapon, guilty : judgment reserved. The following witnesses in the case of Ed Willist charged with arson and continued until next term, were re cognized under penalty of $25 each for their appearance: C. W. Mc- Clean, Martha Pearce.

C, July 11, 1901. To His Honor, Oliver H. Allen, Judge, Superior Court, Fifth Judicial District, New Hanover County, July term: We. .your grand jurors for this term beg leave to report that . we have per formed the duties assigned to us, to wit: We have passed upon 25 bills. returning 24 as true bills and one as not a true bill, and have made four presentments. We have visited the county jail and find that the prisoners by their own admission are wen tea and cared for, and the sanitary condi tion good. Part of the corrugated ceiling in basement has given way and should receive immediate attention to avoid the precipitation of the con crete above, which might injure some one. The leaking faucet to the water pips should also have immediate at tention. We find in jail an old white inmate. Phillips Vink by name, whose condition and needs require the imme MM A. 1 - diate attention ot me proper aumon ties and to be placed elsewhere. We have also visited the County Home without the knowledge of the Su perintendent and find also by ad mission of the inmates that they are well treated and receive suffi cient wholesome food, The wash basins in the colored ward are useless owing to the fact that the water con nections are out of order and should receive due attention. The entire top of the cooking range is badly warped from excessive heat, thereby rendering it unsafe, and it should receive prompt attention. We i think it absolutely necessary that the telephone be re placed at the Home for the better pro tection of all concerned. We com mend the action of the County Com missioners for-the necessary repairs and improvements to the Court House. Before closing our" report, we desire to return our thanks to Sheriff Frank EL Stedman and his aides, to R. M. Capps, the jailor, to J. W. Branch, the janitor, to Chas. M. Harriss, the effi cient officer to the grand jury, for the kind and courteous attention given us. A. 8. Holdkit, Foreman. Wm. Flanagan? Secretary. -.In discharging thetgrand jury Judge Allen stated that from the opportuni ties he had for observing and from the trials this week New Hanover ap peared to be in as fine a condition, looking at it from the standpoint of crime, as. any county in the State, and he had been in most of the counties. He further stated that the County Home was as good, he thought, if not the best in the Bute. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Seacoast Road.---Specials. Home Brewing Co. Notice. N. Y. Steamship Line Sailing days.

Laurinburg, N. 0., July 11. A disastrous fire raged for two hours here this afternoon, and at one time threatened to wipe out the business portion of the town. The town ap pealed to Fayetteville for help, . but her engine was not in fix. Next, Cnarlotte was appealed to, and in a few minutes s she had a fire company coming as fast as steam could bring' them, but by the time it had reached Wadesboro it was apparent that we could control- the flames,'' and they, were wired accordingly. Ten stores, a barber' shop and one hotel lie in ashes, and the owners have suffered a net loss of some thirty odd thousand dollars, the total loss being estimated at seventy .five thousand, at follows: M. A. McDougald, $15,000; about half insured. R. E. Lee, $18,000; a little over one half insured. W. D. James, $15,000; about half insured, r A. A. James, about $3,000 ; some in surance. McDuffie Bros., $2,500; with $1,000 insurance. J. C. Morgan, $3,000; one half' In sured. J. B. Cowan, $600; with $400 in surance. D. C. McNeill, $2,000; with some insurance i Sutherland and Morgan, $800, with $500 insurance. W. P. Evans, colored, manager, $2,000, with $1,000 insurance. G. W. Wright, $500, with $200 in surance. H. O. Covington, $1,600; insurance $1,200. There are various losses from re moval of goods, viz: G. D. Evering ton, druggist; W. W. Whitehurst, clothier; W. L. Fields, druggist; J. M. Taylor, A. 8. J. Parham, N. Ham mond, L. A. Monroe, J. D. Wright, J. C. Mercer and M. Scolnick; all moved from one-fourth to fourfifths of their goods, but the fire did not reach them. The origin of the fire is not known exactly. Mr. John McDougald was seriously hurt about the dinner hour in a runaway, and his brother while going home for dinner, about that time, found him and assisted him home and 'phoned an emergency call for a physician, and also 'phoned his brother, the only one left in the store during the dinner hour, to secure the doctor's immediate attendance and come himself. He (the brother) hur riedly shut up the establishment and put out for home, nd in about an hour the alarm was given by an ex plosion, as of a lamp. There had been a glue pot used just before dinner, but in the excitement of the fire no one was certain if it had been pat oat, it being heated on a common oil stove. The principal insurance agent, F. L. Bundy, is on his way to California, and many people d not remember then amount of insurance they were carry ing, so it is impossible to ascertain this now.

But it all does not lie at the door of Hooker. He received ragged support and was not in his usual form. Then there was another reason why the game did not drop to Charlotte, for in Stewart the visitors found an article that they were unable to solve. Tis true that Knau jumped on him in the third inning, smashed out a home run over left field fence and brought in the two men on cushions but the friends of Stewart most heartily aver that "Lewie" took advantage of the conditions of the elements and lifted the sphere over into a gust of wind 'that just "tuck" it over the high bush. At any rate Knau was the only one of the ' Hornets that could approach his delivery and the run getting practically ceased after that time. Martin opened the pot by drawing four balls and' Bigbie. forced him at second. Murray fanned and Bigbie got third on a throw to second, but Knau was out, short to first For the Giants a single by Clayton, sacrifice by Cran' ston, single by Devlin and a throw to second by Gates netted a run. Sebring went up for another single and a stolen base, scoring Devlin on War ren's hit to short. McGinnis flew out to centre. It was one, two, three work for the Hornets in the second, with the ex ception of a single by Gates and the Giants put two more runs in cold stor age on a single by Frost; muff of Stewart's high fly to centre, stolen bases by Stewart and Frost, who later crossed the plate on account of Hook er's failure to handle a ball returned to him from the catcher. Clayton and Cranston flew out to catch and second while Thackara went out to first in the beginning. The telling work by tbe visitors was done in the third. Hooker got a pass and Martin singled past third.. Bigbie and Murray had fanned and there were two strikes on Knau, next up, with two men on bases and two men down. He lifted the sphere over the fence and three runs were chalked up for the Hornets. Lipp was out from short. For the Giants, Devlin is out second to first; Sebring singles to centre and scores on Warren's three base hit to centre. McGinnis hit to short and Warren was thrown out at home. Thackara fanned. The fourth, fifth and sixth innings were non productive of runs and there was some phenomenally fast infield ing by the home team and excellent first base work by Devlin for the Giants. In their half of the seventh the locals scored on a three base hit by Sebring to centre and a single by Thackara with two men down. Murray led off for the Hornets in the eighth with a three base hit and scored on-Knau's single. Then three men were retired and the Giants did nothing in their half although there two pretty singles by Clayton and Cranston. The game was over when the Hor nets took their half of the ninth and went out in their order. .

V; : Better behavior was never seen on a ball field. It seems passing strange that the Wilmington players, while perfect gentlemen here, are only "rowdies" in Charlotte. The general verdict is that it was an enjoyable game. Go to the Park this afternoon and you will see good ball. . . Not a single effort to "shock and revolt the crowded grand stand." . Ample preparations have been made to have good order at the Park. The rare and radiant rooterinas will be resplendent in their beauty to night There was some exceptionally good base running, Deerfoot Sebring taking the lead. . The best of feeling exists between the members of the Wilmington and Charlotte teams. There should be a, great rush for tbe Park to-night. The Giants are plsying fine ball and deserve a benefit. Tfiere was not a kick scarcely a murmur or a gesture-in disapproval of the decisions of umpire Harry Mace. .--Good plays by the Hornets were liberally applauded.;.- This js specially: true of Knau's home run which tallied three runs. The ladies in charge of the lawn party (and all others, for that matter) will wear Wilmington's colors, deep red and white. ' ' Knau's hit over left field fence was the second made here this season. The grounds here are quite different from those in Raleigh. It will be worth more than a quarter to see the illumination of the magnificent live oaks . with incandes cent lights at Hilton Park to-night. The threatening weather and the fact that a great many ladies were engaged in preparations for the lawn party materially reduced the usual attendance. Now boys, don't be selfish. Take the girls with you to the fete champe tre, or whatever you call. it. And don't forget Wilmington colors, deep red and white. - "Jack" Frost introduced himself most favorably to the Wilmington cranks. Both his batting and field work were fine.

MR. PATRICK DONLAN. la His Death Wilmington Loses One of its Most Esteemed' Cltizeos The Funeral To-morrow. The Stab chronicled briefly yester day morning the rather sudden death of one of Wilmington's most esteemed citizens, Mr. Patrick Donlan, which occurred at his home. No. 410 North Front street, at 1:10 o'clock A. M. after a brief illriess which culminated in a congestive chill from which he never rallied. Last Sunday he went in surf bath ing at the beach and came very near having a chill at the time, but he returned home and was not compelled to take to his bed until the Tuesday following. Wednesday he suffered another very severe chill and although his illness was not considered serious at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, he died in a little more than three hours. Mr. Donlan was well known in Wil mington for his genial disposition and many noble traits, and expressions of surprise and sorrow at his untimely demise were numerous on the streets yesterday. He was born in Ireland in the year 1839 and was, therefore, in the 62nd year of his age. 'He came to Wilmington in 1866 and had lived here ever since, being prominently identified wiih tbe shipping interests of the port in connection with, the various steamship companies. His last employment was as assistant to the su perintendent of the Clyde Steamship Company in this city, which position he filled for a number of years with signal ability. In the year 1871 he was married to Miss Margaret O'Donnell, of Balti more, and she with one' son, Mr. Willie Donlan, of Savannah, Ga., survive him. He is also survived by a brother, Mr. Tpnothy Donlan, , a well known resident of this city, and one sister, Mrs. M, A. Dowling, of Charleston. The absent members of the family reached the city on the 1:25 o'clock train yesterday afternoon. The funeral will be conducted from St T nomas' Pro-cathredal to-morrow morning by the Rev. Father Chris topher Dennen and the interment will be in Oakdale cemetery. LOCAL DOTS. As the Stab employs no trav elling agents, bills are sent direct to subscribers. These bills should re ceive prompt attention. Mr. W. J. Meredith, the well known produce commission merchant, has been appointed Wilmington agent of the steamer A. J. Johnson, which plys between this city and Clear Run, on Black river. All parties who have agreed to contribute ice cream to" the base ball fete to be held at Hilton this evening are requested to have it ready not later than 6 o'clock this afternoon. Mac's Ctfe Sold. v . Mr. EL 8. McCurry, who came here from Norfolk about two weeks ago and opened "Mac's Cafe" at No. Ill Princess street, has sold out the busi ness ; to a gentleman from Asheville, N. 0 , who will conduct the establish ment in Hub future. Mr. McCurry left last nigit, returning to Norfolk. THE THIRD REGIMENT Soldier Boys in Camp Aycock Are Enjoying Their Out- ,ing' Splendidly.- DAILY ROUTINE HAS BEGUN.

From a note in the Detroit Free Press of some days since stating that the Detroit American League team had purchased "Davy" Crockett from the Wilmington team, there seems to be an impression -here that Crockett was actually sold. I wish to say em phatically that Crockett was not sold by Wilmington, nor was he given his release, and tbe nrst intimation 1 had of his leaving the team was Manager Peschau's telegram from Raleigh stating that Crockett would leave for Detroit without having previously neen given nis release. - -:- W.
