have done and are doing all in their
power to make the convention a great
success beyond peradventure.
About 200 delegates are expected
from North and South Carolina, Vir
gmia, Qeorgia, Florida, Alabama.
Texas and, in fact, from almost every
State in the Unidh with the possible
exception of California and a few
Northern States where no chapters ex

as early as Monday and every train
will serve to swell the throng until
Wednesday, when the convention pro
per will gather for the first time in the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium, which has
been securred for all the sessions.
A large number of the Daughters
will be present Tuesday for a number
of committee meetings on that day,
in preparation for the regular conven
tion on Wednesday. One of the com
mittees is that on credentials, of
which Mrs. Martin 8. Willard, of this
city, is chairman. Another is the
committee on selecting an official or
gan for the United Daughters, of
which Mrs. W. H. Overman, of Balis-
bury, N. C, is chairman.

tion will be established at The Orton
and all delegates arriving will be re
quested to register there and be as
signed to homes. All those who are
expecting visiting Daughters for the
week are requested to send their names
to Mrs. John C. James so that the

lace trimmings. She carried a large
bouquet of white chrysanthemums.
The groom wore conventional black,
and was accompanied for the cere
mony by Messrs. Usher Sandlin and

ents were received.

HAUSER ON TRIAL.
Hearing in Case of House Burn
ing Began in the Superior
Court Yesterday.
MOTIONS TO QUASH DENIED.
Only Six of Abont Pifty Witnesses Thus
Par Examined New Foreman for
Grand Jury A Number of Trae
Bills Returned.
With the exception of the hearing
of argument by counsel in an unim
portant case against John Williams
and Hattie Andrews which was begun
on the evening , previous, the entire
day in the Superior Court was taken
up yesterday in selecting and empan
elling a jury and in hearing the testi
mosy of about half a- en 5f the
many witnesses in the case of H.
Hauser, charged with burning his
store on Market street on the night of
August 11th, particulars of which are
familiar to the readers of the city
papers at the time. The case will like
ly consume all of to-day again and
Judge Allen has suggested the possi
bility of night sittings of the court
unless remarkable progress ia. made
from now on.
The defendant being in court the
hearing of the Hauser case was begun
at 11 A. M. Solicitor Duffy is assisted
by City Attorney Bellamy, Marsden
Bellamy, Esq.. and Herbert McClam-
my, Esq. Those appearing for the de
fendant are Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy and
George L. Peschau, comprising the
firm of Bellamy & Peschau, and
Brooke G. Empie, Esq. State Fire In
surance Commissioner Young, of
Raleigh, is also here, assisting in di
recting the prosecution.
uounsel on both sides made an un
usually large number of challenges
for cause and exhausted all perempto-
nes. it was 2 o'clock when the jury
had been selected and empanelled as
follows: E. G. Conoway, J. E. Grier,
Presley T. Stevenson, J. M. Sherman,
J. E Reville, A, J. Howell, Sr., J. W.
King, J. G, Barrentine, Silas Sneeden,
J. W. Capps, Lewis Gordon and Mark
Jones.
When the jury had been empanelled
a recess was taken until 3 o clock for
dinner and during the remainder of
the day only six witnesses were ex
amined, after which a further recess
was taken at 6:30 o'clock until 9:30
A. M. to-day.
Prior to the selection of the jury ar
gument was had upon pleas in abate
ment and motion lodged at last term of
court by defendant's counsel to quash
the bill of indictment. The first and
second pleas in abatement were to the
effect that the solicitor at the last term
of the court had been sent for by the
grand jury and counselled the mem
bers in finding thebill and that one of
the members of the grand jury, H. L.
Peterson, had a case pending in the
court. Solicitor Daffy made affidavit
contrary to the first plea and juror
Peterson was shown to have been an
other person than the party of
the same name to an action
in the court, whereupon de
fendant's counsel waived those pleas
but insisted upon a third to the effect
that the grand jury was illegally con
atituted in that the members of same
were drawn from a box the names in
which were selected and the list re
vised in the month of July, 1901,
when it should have been revised and
selected on the first Monday in June
and if then revised should not- have
been added to or interfered with in
July, 1901. The Deputy Register of
Deeds testified to the manner of re
vision and the motion in this respect
was overruled.
In the afternoon, after the jury had
been empanelleled, counsel for de
fendant claimed that they had not yet
entered a plea and again made a mo
tion to quash on the ground that three
of the grand jurors had not paid
their taxes. The court held that by
selecting the jury and empanelling
the same, in law the defendant had
plead not guilty and overruled the
motion.
The trial then proceeded and the
following witnesses were called for
the State: Chief Charles Schnib-
ben. Assistant Chief W. P. Monroe
and Firemen Jake Wannamaker, J.
Wenberg and C. C. Mallard, of the
Wi inington Fire Department ; Walker
Taylor, J. H. Boatwright, S. M. Boat.
wright J. VanB. Metts, J. F. Maunder,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Goldstein, J. Bishoff,
Peter Hawkins, George Haar, Erastus
Hinnant, Wm. Sheehan, Jr., George
Harriss, Jake Solomon, Will Bonitz,
C. H. O'Berry, Henry Newman, E. P.
Bailey, Jos. E. Smith, Policemen J. M.
King and W. C. Moore.
Fireman J. Wannamaker was the
first witness introduced. . He testified
as to location of the fire when the
door was broken open and of the con
dition of the place, the excelsior, straw,
eta, found on the floor of the building.
He was stood aside and Policemen J.
M. King and W. O. Moore, who were
left in charge of the store until the in
vestigation could be made, testified
that no disturbance of the building
was permitted after the fire.
Mr. J. Hal Boatwright testified as to
having made an examination before,
during and after the fire. He smelled
kerosene about the store when it was
on fire and suggested an investigation
to the Chief of the Fire Department.
Fireman Wannamaker, was recalled
and testified more f ully to the condi
tion of the store when the firemen en
tered. Curtains to the windows and
doors were drawn and everything in
the store smelled of kerosene oil. On
cross-examination it was found that
Mr. Wannamaker only assisted in
opening the door and could not say
whether it was locked or unlocked.
Fireman J. Wenberg testified that
upon reaching the door he found it
locked.
b ireman j. yj. ma war a testinea as
to assisting Mr. Wenberg in'opening
the door. It was found locked and he
knocked it open. He did not know
whether or not he testified at the pre
limmary examination. "I didn't
know whether the door was locked or
not; presumed it was and knocked it
open." He did not take time to ex
amine whether or not he had broken
the lock.
Chief Schnibben was the last witness
before the adjournment of the day.
He testified as to the careful inves
ligation he made and as to the straw,
gasoline, etc. In the skylight above
the store one pane of glass on the south
siae was out and upon the roof as it
had been pushed out from the inside,
On cross examination he said that his
attention was called just after the fire
to the fact that the lock was unin jur-
ednd the door appeared not to have
been locked.
From the cross-examination thus
far it is seen that one of the main
points of the defence will be that the
store was set on fire by outside par
ties, either from the sky light or from
entrance through the front door
Other Court Proceedings.
The grand jury came into court yes
terday and reported the illness of its
foreman, Mr. Jos. H. Hanby, where
upon Judge Allen appointed Mr. Chas.
M. Whitlock foreman, nendinc Mr.
Han by 's recovery. The oath pre
scribed was administered to Mr. Whit
lock.
During the day a true bill was re
turned by the grand jury against E.
Tiner and Hector McLachlan, the two
young white men charged with enter
ing the boarding house of Mrs. Liet
gen during the Elks' Carnival and
stealing a watch and a number of arti
cles of clothing. It is doubtful if a
trial of the defendants can be had at
this term. Other true bills were found
yesterday against Walter Bell, George
and Scip Millis, for resisting an of
ficer; Scip Millis, for assault and bat
tery with a deadly weapon ; Wm. Jef
ferson, for larceny; George Robinson,
for carrying concealed weapons, and
John Williams, for attempt at store
creasing.

AN EVENING WEDDING
Miss Henrietta Shenard Be
came the Bride of Mr.
James Sinclair.
BRIDAL TOUR POSTPONED.
Ceremony Was Impressively Performed
Yesterday by Rev. J. N. Cole Amid
Beautiful Environment At
Home Dr. and Mrs. Shepard.
At the home of the bride's parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Jos. C. Shepard, No. 207
South Fourth street, yesterday even
ing at 6:15 o'clock in a pretty wedding
service, the Rev. J. N. Cole, pastor of
Grace Methodist Church, joined in
matrimony two of Wilmington's most
popular young people Miss Henrietta
Shepard add Mr. James Sinclair.
The ceremony was a very quiet one
on account of a recent very deep be
reavement in the family of the groom,
but it was exceedingly pretty and was
witnessed only by relatives and a few
very intimate friends of the families
represented. The parlors of the home
were very tastefully and profusely
decorated with wild smilax, chrysan
themuns, potted plants and other ever
greens, the whole being softly lighted
so that the scene was one of rarest
beauty. Just prior to the ceremony,
Miss Ethel Barnas charmingly render
ed the solo: "I'll Promise Thee," and
the bridal party was ushered into the
room to the tuneful strains of Lohen
grin's wedding march played by Mr.
Alf. H. Yopp.
The first to enter was little Miss
Winifred Shepard, neice of the bride
and a flower girl. She wore a pretty
dress of blue organdie and carried
pink carnations. With her was Master
Shenard Bryan, nephew of the bride
who bore on a silver waiter the wed
ding ring. Next came the maid of
honor, Miss Mary Foy Shepard, sister
of the bride who wore a handsome
costume of gray crepe de chene and
carried a bouquet of pink chrysanthe
mums. The bride next came leaning
upon the arm of her father, Dr. Jos.
C. Shepard. She wore a becomine
travelling gown of green cloth and
carried a shower bouquet of bride's
roses.
The groom, accompanied by his
best man, Mr. J. McRee Hatch, en
tered from an opposite door and was
joined by the bride at a very beauti
fully improvised altar under a canopy
of flowers and splendid decorations.
As the ceremony was being performed,
the organist rendered "Ob, Promise
Me" and after the service the party
left the parlor to a skillfully executed
march from Mendelsohn.
Owing to a recent illness of the
bride, an intended bridal tour to sev
eral points of interest in the North had
to be postponed. Mr. and Mrs. Sin
clair will reside for the present with
the bride's parents.
Many costly and very handsome
wedding gifts were received, among
the number being a beautiful silver
piece from the Auditing Department
of the Atlantic Coast Line in which
branch of the railroad service Mr. Sin
clair was engaged, prior to his appoint
ment several month ago as travelling
auditor. Other very handsome pre
sents were received from friends at a
distance. The bride and groom were
also the recipients after the ceremony
of many congratulations and express

LIQUIDATION
THIS
ii
To liquidate means to clear up,
in
cision to settle the particulars of; that's it exactly.
The act of liquidating is about to take place in this
business; it is to be closed out and accordingly our
entire stock of
Clothing, Hats and
Furnishings
Offered at Sacrifice Prices.
It is imperative; therefore, cost and value cannot be taken
into consideration. Every item must be sold and quickly at
that. It ia not necessary to dilate at length upon
The reputation of this house or the
merits of our goods.
Both are well established and hold a strong position in the minds
of the populace.
Most of the Clothing represented in this sale
Is of the well known "High Art" brand, manufac
tured by Strouse & Bros., New York and Baltimore,
Than which there is no better, equaling in every detail the best of custom-made.
But we must emphasize the fact that every item offered in this sale
is new this season, absolutely perfect and fresh and correct in style.
The prices at which you purchase will figure even less than actual
wholesale cost. These are the facts of the case. It remains for you to
take advantage of the most extraordinary bargains that Wilmington has
ever known.
