Don't fall to visit Bender's to day or THE SUPERIOR COURT Trial of H. Hauser, Charged With Burning His Store, is Still in Progress. DEFENDANT ON THE STAND. State Rested at 4 O'clock and Defence Called Large Number of Witnesses. Sentences to County Roads. Smith Snlt Continued. Another entire day has been con sumed in the hearing and the Superior Court is still without immediate pros pect of a conclusion of the Hauser trial, which was begun Wednesday morning and continued uninterrupted ly thus far. All the testimony may be submitted during to day's session of theeourt and, if so, argument will be begun to the jury on Saturday morn ing, the last day of the term. The contest has been marked thus far by lively sparring between counsel on both sides and the case is perhaps the most hard fought criminal proceeding on record in recent years. After an examination of eighteen other witnesses for the prosecution from which a great deal of cumulative evidence was secured, the State rested at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the defence put the defendant, EL Hauser, on the stand. He remained on the stand until the adjournment for the day at 6:30 o'clock and when a recess was taken the witness was un dergoing a rigid cross examination conducted by Herbert McClammy, Esq., of counsel for the prosecution. Mr. McClammy will conclude his cross examination when the court convenes this morning and this will be followed by a redirect examination by defend ant's counsel. The trial attracted a very large crowd yesterday, and that the jurors may be relieved of the faintest suspicion of outside communication, judge Allen is ordering, upon each recess, that they remain in their seats until the court room is clear. Chief of Police Furlong, Fire In surance Commissioner Young, Chair man George Harms, of the City Fire Committee, and a number of insurance men testified for the State yesterday and when this side of the case was rested the following witnesses were called for the defence with others who have been subpoenaed: J. M. King, W. C. Moore, A. EL Gerhard, Paul Caase, Jos. Meier, T. F. Bagley, W. A. Eckles, Frank Meier, Sam'l Bear, Sr., S. W. Sanders, S. Behrends, A. Shrier, Andrew Smith, Josh G. Skip per, Ben Bellois, Dick Steljes, Ed. En- nett, J. P. O'Sullivan, Gee. T. Bland, Sol. J.8ternberger, J. B. Newkirk, W. McEvans and B. O. Orrell. The trial proceeded yesterday morning with witnesses for the pros ecution. Policeman J. M. King, who testified on the day before, was recall ed and stated that upon going on duty at 7:30 o'clock on the beat upon which Hauaer's store was located, on the night of the fire, it was a part of his duties to see that all doors were secure and that he found Hauser's door locked. Mr. Henry Newman testified as to an examination of the premises made by him on Monday after the fire Sat urday night. His examination was confined to the upstairs. Col. Walker Taylor testified as to a similar investigation and described the ramifications of straw, gasolene bot tles, kindling wood, etc., that appear ed to be systematically arranged for carrying the fire all over the building when once started. He said that in June previous to the burning Aug. 11th, he had written Hauser a policy for 1500 on his tools and rathe. On cross examination he stated that he did not think the property overinsured. He thought it would have taken at least half .a day to make all the ar rangements in the store for the fire. The large clock in which the fire start ed was an ingenious invention and defendant had told him it cost $600. Mr. J. VanB. Metts testified as to defendant's having had $200 insurance with him on stock of soap, printed matter, etc., $400 on household furni ture and $200 on the large clock. This expired Jan. 26th and the policy was renewed, making $100 on clock and $100 on f urniture and stock. On July 10th the amount was increased to $400 for household furniture and $200 on clock and show cases, making a total of $800. Policeman J. B. Newkirk testified as to having guarded the store during the investigation. Mr. J. D. Smith, an expert insur ance man, made an examination of the premises upstairs and testified as to the same. The furniture, he said, was not worth more than $50, but on cross-examination he said he did not examine Hauser's library or the down stairs apartments. Alderman J. F. Maunder, sales man for M. W. Divine & Co., testi fied. He identified certain oils and gasolene in evidence, and on cross-examination stated that Hauser had been buying oil and gasolene from him for the past twelve months In quanti ties of five, gallons.' Chief of Police Furlong testified as to having made the arrest, and of Hauser's having told him that a bottle found in the charred clock was a part of the same. On cross ex-am-ination, witness' reply to a question that Hauser had told him he (Hauser) believed "his enemies had done it," was excluded by the court and excep tions noted. A diagram of the building and ram ifications of straw and other combusti bles introduced by Mr. W. T. Smith was excluded as substantive testimony, but was allowed by witness to refresh his memory. Alderman E. P. Bailey testified as to an examination of the place, and Al derman George Harriss, of the fire committee, testified as to a conversa tion with Hauser, who attributed the fire to enemies he had made because of an arrest he caused some time be fore, but would give no names. Messrs. C. H. O'Berry and Jake Solomon testified as to the condition of the place; Mr. William Sheehan, Jr., as to having rented the store to Hauser, and Peter Hawkins, colored, as to having delivered oil and gaso lene to Hauser as drayman for Divine &Co. Fire Insurance Commissioner Young made a very comprehensive corrobor ation of the other witnesses as to the condition of the place. Mr. and Mrs. J. Goldstein, who reside next door, testified that they knew of no one en tering the store during the day, nor of Hauser's presence. When this testimony had been con cluded, Hauser went on the stand and remained until a recess was taken for the day. His. age was given at 51; plaee of birth Switzerland. He is a naturalized American; has been in the State a number of years and in Wil mington six years; came to this city from Beaufort and Newborn. He lived up-stairs in the burned store with his wife. On the day of the fire he left the store in company with Messrs. Gerhard and Biskerchoff at 2 P. M. He was going to Wrightsville and was left by the Seacoast train and Uter went to Orrell's stables, hired a con veyance and spent the afternoon and evening at Paul Caase's place on the Sound and at the encampment grounds. He learned of the fire by telephone and again missed the train and reached the city at midnight by private conveyance. He testified as to having spent six years' work on the new invention of his clock and was disheartened when he learned it was burned. He explained its mechanism which was very intricate. He was rigidly cross examined as to his religion; denied being an Atheist; had read Payne, Voltaire, Ingersoll and other works, accepting only that which was good in them. He believed in the Bible, in God and Christ He alfo testified as to his stock, etc.. and that a valise which he carried to the sound contained a bath suit, tools and two or three watches which he carried along for business purposes. Other Court Proceedings. It was seen yesterday that only a few other cases, if any, will be reached at this term. The case against Mr. N. L. Smith was continued until Wed nesday of the next term which will be convened November 25th. The de fendant gave bond in the sum of $400 for his appearance at that time. The grand jury returned only a few unimportant bills yesterday and has about concluded its work. A commit tee will visit the several county in stitutions to-day for the purpose of making up its report. Thus far there have been ten com mitments to the county roads and one to the jail, the aggregate of sentences being ten years. They are as follows: Chas. Fowler, carrying concealed weapons; 30 days; John Myers, aban donment, 60 days; Moses King, lar ceny, 4 months; WmFerguson, as sault with deadly weapon, 60 days ;Wm. Brown, simple assault, 30 days; 7no. R. Potter, assault with deadly weapon, 12 months; Burt Green, assault and battery with deadly weapon, 60 days; Jno. R.

Very Interesting Service Last Night-Meet lugs Will Continue Into Next Week. The congregation was very large which heard Evangelist Greenwood last night at the First Baptist Church on the subject of "Confessing Christ." It was a very powerful appeal and af ter the sermon a call was made for oral public professions. Some 75 or 100 responded, many of them being persons ordinarily very hard to reach. An after consecration service was held and there was a large attendance. The services to day at the usual hours will be the last for the week, as none will be held on Saturday. The usual Sunday services will be held with the addition of a mass meeting for men at 4 o'clock to take the place of the 5 o'clock meeting at. the Y. M. C. A. Evangelist. Greenwood will speak and all men are invited to hear him. The meetings thus far have been highly satisfactory to Dr. Blackwell and his church and a gi eat work has been wrought by Mr. Greenwood The meetings will continue, to say the least, until Tuesday night. Of Interest to Veterans. Capt. James L Metts requests the Stab to say that he has a few Crosses of Honor for persons whose names were read at the last Memorial Service in Wilmington and who were not present to receive them. They may now be had by those entitled to them by applying at Capt Metts' office. He also has at his office copies of the very pretty address delivered by Mrs. Gas ton Meares to the veterans upon the occasion of the celebration of Lee's birthday on Jan. 19 th, and these will be distributed to all entitled to wear crosses of honor upon application at the office. . The address has been neatly printed in pamphlet form and should be in the hands of every loyal veteran. Crowds of neonle have been at Behder's this week. t COMMERCE CHAMBER. Number of Matters Considered at Regular Meeting of Body Yesterday Afternoon. QUESTION OF LATE TRAINS. Kindred Railroad Subjects Occupied Much of tne Time Report Prom Mr. Small bones Hon. Jno. 0. Bellamy Endorsed Water Way. A number of matters of importance to the commercial interests of the city were considered at the monthly meet ing of the Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, President M. W. Jacobi in the chair and Col. Jno. L. Cant well at his post as secretary. The attendance was fair and the various subjects were dis cussed with enthusiasm. No committee reports were in the hands of the secretary. Mr. H. G. Smallbones, delegate to the Biver and Harbor Congress at Baltimore . last month, made a very exhaustive res port of the proceedings of that body in detail and also of the possibilities of good resulting therefrom. President Jacobi reported for the committee on extra train service on the W. C. & A. railroad, that the ad ditional mail and passenger facilities had been promised by General Man ager Kenly, of the Coast Line, and that the new schedule would be in effect about Nov. 25th. A letter from Commander Rogers, U. S. N., and inspector of lights for this district, and reply thereto, were read in regard to additional range lights for the Cape Fear river, a num ber of which have already been placed. The buoy tender will be here again this week and the additional lights will be installed and will be of great benefit to navigation. An addition to the Chamber's library of a copy of the Petersburg, Va., busi ness directory with compliments of the J. L. Hill Printing Company, was re ported. The committee to investigate the stevedoring charges at this port was discharged. The committee on long distance telephone, consisting of President Jacobi, Capt. T. D. Meares and Mr. T. W. Clawson, was instructed to pursue its efforts towards securing the service from one company or another. The committee on the inland water way, which scheme has before been discussed in these columns, reported through Mr. H. G. Smallbones, who made a motion which prevailed to the effect that an appropriation be asked of the next Congress for a preliminary survey of the route from New Topsail Inlet to Harrison's Creek, entering the Cape Fear river for the purpose of de termining the cost of the proposed route, and that a copy of the report be forwarded each North Carolina Sena tor and Bepresentativein the U. S. Congress. A resolution was adopted joining the Fayetteville Chamber of Com merce in endorsing Hon. Jno. D. Bel lamy, of this place, for a position on the Committee on River and Harbors in the next Congress and the Secretary was instructed to send a copy of the resolutions to 8peaker Henderson at his borne in Iowa. The resolution sets forth that North Carolina has 400 miles of seacoast and navigable rivers and is therefore more interested in the work than any other State on the At lantic Seaboard ; that it now has no representative on the committee and that a vacancy will exist on the same at the next session; that Mr. Bellamy is a most suitable member by reason of his residence along the coast, his knowledge of maritime affairs and his scholarly attainments. A communication was read by Mr. L. B. Rogers from the Produce Ex change, in which was embraced a peti tion from merchants of Raeford, Rock fish a'nd Dunndarroch, N. C, for faster freight service from Wilmington. It is stated that from four to six days are re quired for delivery of freight, whereas two or three days should be sufficient The president appointed Mr. O. O. Cov ington to co-operate with the commit tee from the Produce Exchange in ef fecting a remedy. A communication from the National Association of Referees in Bankruptcy, New York, asking for opinion of the Chamber as to the best methods of pro ceedings was referred to the Law Com mittee. Mr. Rogers called attention to the alleged habitual lateness of trains on the Carolina Central railroad, and the secretary was instructed to address a letter to the superintendent of the company, asking for a remedy. Capt. T. D. Meares suggested that the train could be brought to Wilmington on time, but what would be the use when mail connections would have to be missed! Messrs.T. W. Clawson, W. E. Worth and L. B. Rogers were named as a committee to appear before the Board of Aldermen and ask for certain pub lic conveniences for excursionists who visit the city in the Summer. The Chamber adjourned, subject to call of the president. J. L. York, in Richmond County. Attention is called in the Rocking ham Anglo-Saxon to an advertisement of J. L. York, in which he proposes to furnish the timber, and power to saw it, to any one who will put in a tram road to Bostick's Mill, where he is op erating Koalin, mines on property which he owns near there. J. H. Render & Co. have certainly been busy this week. t PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Miss Bessie Williams is the guest of Miss Katie Sheets, of Fayette ville. Mr. R. J. Hester, of Eliza- bethtown, N.
