Judge Allen will leave at once to convene a special term of Pitt Supe rior Court, which, was made necessary by the continued illnesa of Judge Bryan, of Newborn. TheclSainc dav'a session was marked by a clearing up of the odds and ends on the docket preparatory to the next term, which does not convene until the first week in November. Th morning session was occupied princi pally in the hearing- of the case of Wm. m Johnson, a colored ice cart driver, for violation of the city ordi nance requiring all vehicles to be tagged. Judge K. K. Bryan appeared for the defence and City Attorney Wm.' J. Bellamy for the municipality. A motion was made by defendant to dismiss the warrant but the motion was refused and defendant excepted. A special verdict was rendered and the court held the defendant not guilty. The plaintiff excepted and appealed to the Supreme Court. The ordinance was found defective in that it made by its verbiasre "the truck, waeon. dray or cart' subject to the fine in- sieaa oi me drivers xnereoi. xrus jaw has been "on- the books for several years. Herbert McClammy, Esq., secured a new trial for his client, Jeff Bald win, charged with the larceny of a razor hone from his father-inlaw. A technicality in the testimony of wife against husband was raised and a former verdict of guilty set aside. Defendant was released on bail until next term. In the case of the Virginia Caro lina Chemical Company, vs. G. W. Westbrook. plaintiff moved for judgment by default, but it appearing to the court that this being a criminal term and that the defendant had no notice except sum mons in this cause, the court refused if , motion, and plaintiff excepted and Bk A . . ed; bond fixed at 35. Hurst, colored, was found guilty of larceny and sent to the roads for four months. In the case of J. W. Cotton vs. Mrs. Susan Moore, Eugene S. Martin, Esq., was appointed referee. In the case of Edward Wootten vs. W. & W. R. R, E. K. Bryan, Esq., was appointed referee. The most interesting proceed ing of the day was in connection with the Hauser case, in which the defendant is charged with burn ing his store- last Sunday night. The case was called and Solicitor Duffy asked that, the bond be made tLOOO instead of $400 as fixed in the municipal court. There was argument pro and con on this question which ultimately resulted in Judge Allen's naming the amount at $600, justified. The defendant is represented by Messrs. Bellamy Peschau and Brooke G. Empie, Esq. ; the prosecution by City Attnmev Wm. J. Bellamy, Herbert McClammy and Marsden Bellamy, Esgs. Upon the fixing of the bond, there was a plea in abatement and motion to quash. The motion was continued until next term. Leave was allowed the prosecution to amend and answer plea. The plea and motion to quash is as follows: The defendant Hauser, througn ms attorneys, hereby enters the following pleas in abatement, and requests the court to quash the bill of indictment found in this cause upon the following grounds: , First That the Solicitor of the Su perior Court, as he is informed and believes, while the grand jury was de liberating on the bill of indictment in this cause, was sent for by the grand iury and went into the grand jury room, before said body of grand ju rors, and was consulted by the grand iury as to the finding of the bill. ol That An of thm erand 1U- rors, H. Li. Peterson, has a suit Pnd ir, inH at issue in the Superior Court of this county. Third That the grand jury as now constituted is illegal, as they were drawn from a box the names in which were selected and the list revised in the month of July, 1901, when it should have been selected and revfced on the first Monday in June, 1901, and if then revised should not haye been added to or interfered with in July, 1901. , ' Th. tafAndant was ordered in cus- tody of the sheriff until the required bond was given. He went to jail, but at 6 o'clock last. evening the bond was arranged in the sum of $600, with the following sureties: H. Wentzensen, P. W.Ortmann, Paul Caase, F. H. Krahnke, F. G. Punke and Leger Meyer. The bond . is regarded as a Ter strong one. Very Comprehensive Insight to County Affairs as Returned to the Superior Court Yesterday Aflernooo. - To Hon. Oliver B. AUen, Judge pre siding: We, the grand jury for the August 1901 term of the Superior Court of New Hanover county, beg leave to make the following report: We have found twenty-nine true bills and three not true bills, and have made three presentments. There were three bills in which the witnesses could not be found, upon which no action was taken. We have .been somewhat hampered by the delay, in finding wit nesses, and, in our opinion, all wit nesses who are known to be needed at a certain session of court should be lo cated before court sits. The jury visited the jail and found it in good condition as to cleanliness. We heard no complaint from th pris oners as to treatment, those spoken to saying the treatment was good. We found the glass broken from some swinging sash in the basement. We would recommend that the glass be re placed and that suitable hooks be pro vided to fasten the windows back when open and prevent slamming by wind. The registers in the main -prison are worn out and should be replaced be fore waiter. There is also a broken pjace in ins iron ceiling or me Base ment which should be fixed. W viaitAn th a rnek auarrv and prison at Castle Haynes and found the prison in a cleanly condition, the prisoners well satisfied as to their food of which, in our judgment, - plenty is supplied. We would sugget that meat for the convict s be bought in smaller quantities than box lota, especially dur ing hot weather. We commend the county physician and the manager of the institution for the sanitary precau tions taken to guard the health of the inmates, there being only three fever cases and they are convalescent. The portable prison which is kept station ary here until needed for use on the road, should have boards placed urf der its wheels to protect the rims, as its weight sinks the tire under the sur face of the ground. From our obser vation, we are of the opinion that the work at tne quarry ana on me rosa being done as economically as possi ble under existing circumstances. The road plow or scraper we found about four miles from town just outside of the road in the bushes. We reoom that it 1m nlaced under shelter. as we understand it has been unused for a month or more. At the County Home we found a general cleaning up going on. The walls of the kitchen and colored dor mitory were being whitewashed. Iron covers for the cistern, spoken of by former grand juries, have been order ed and will soon be in position. We recomnrend that the broken terra cotta sewer under the lead pipes from the dormitory of the colored inmates be repaired and extended m such a manner as to take the water entirely away from the building, there being a bad washout under the pillars of the back piazza of this house. All the in mates of this home speak well of their treatment and our opinion is that a better keeper than the present encum- bent wouia oe nam 10 una. w e wm that tne Iron ceiling of (he kitchen should be painted as it is rusty. We note the change in the court room and believe it will tend to make it more comfortable for all who have business there. The painting which is in progress on tne interior oi me building is needed. We desire to call attention to cobwebs and dirt in the windows of several offices. We would suggest that the water in the base ment be attended to at once, and that the work be made permanent. Also, we recommend that the hall floor be strengthened by permanent posts and braces. Having finished our work we would ask td be discharged. T?Twrtfn1W submitted. J. F. LrrTLETON, Foreman. W. C.

Mr. Mace, for a third time, called the game, but at the time most of the people from the bleachers had sought shelter. Those who remained on the bleachers did so at the request of home players'. Capt. Allen requested Mr. Mace to wait longer, but ke refused and Man ager Cowan protested. The eighth inning, with Raleigh at the bat, was slaved in the rain.

Many friends in the city have heard with sorrow the news of the death of ' Mother Mary Augustine Kent, of the Convent of the Sacred Hart, Belmont, N. C, which occurred on Thursday of last week. She was well known by the Catholic Church throughout North Carolina, arid in her taking away her church has suffered an irre parable loss. v During the epidemic of yellow fever in Wilmington in 1862, she, with- two companions, came to nurse the fever stricken people.. Her gentle, Chris tian charity won the love and esteem of all. Again, in 1869, at the invita tation of Cardinal Gibbons, she came to Wilmington to establish a convent and school for young ladies. Solemn requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the dead was celebrated at the Cathedral at Belmont yester day, after which her remains were laid to rest in the Sisters' plot in the ad joining cemetery.

Crockett and High have been re leased from the Detroit American League team. Clayton showed yesterday that he can play ball, his work being a fea ture of the game. Manager Cowan protested the game yesterday for reasons given in the Raleigh special to the Star. Umpire Mace doubtless intended tn he fair, but he must know that Turtles are in their element when it comes to mud and water. The eleven pennant games are to begin at Raleigh Tuesday. Five games will be played there, the 20th, 21st, 22d, 23d and 24th. On the 26th one game will be played on neutral ground. The remaining five games will be played in Wilmington on the 27th, 28tb, 29tb, snrti and Slat. Of Friday's game the Raleigh Neves and Observer says : ."Wilming ton had at the slab a big fellow, a new man on the team and Newman by name.. He was a puzzler to the Red Birds and yielded -only four hits. These and the errors of Jack Frost and other Lobsters were sufficient to turn the trick."

C, Aug. 17 The very checkered career of the Virginia-Carolina League is at last at an end. 3 It has received many bumps and thumps but it did not receive a "knock out until tO-night. The blow was deliver ed by Charlotte in the shape of a rMiiynatmn filed bv W. B. Dorr, of the Charlotte 'AwSc&tiosT The,-i'alitiiif tion was filed by wire to night at quite a unique meeting. The meeting was conducted over leased telegraph wire between Charlotte and Raleigh. All the clubs were represented. Upon the filing of Charlotte's resignation and notification of Tarboro that their club would report in Raleigh for schedule games next week, Manager Cowan, of Wilmington, refused to go to Charlotte unless a positive guarantee was given. Receiving a negative answer, he mo tioned for termination of the season to-night and demanded, immediately the playing of the pennant series, a three-club league being impracticable. Bryan, of Tarboro, demurred, but motion was carried, Wilmington and Raleigh voting in the affirmative. President Higgs, officially declares the season at an end. The pennant series of eleven games will commence Tuesday, Wilmington playing in Raleigh five games.
