DEALT MUCH IN DETAILS. at the late Li Hung I Sanitary Condition of City Public Schools Investigated Recommendations as to Coort House, Jail, County Home and Convict Camp. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the grand jury for the November term of the Superior Court finished its work and was discharged by Judge Allen with thanks. The report deals large ly with details, and is as follows: To the Hon. O. H. Allen, presiding in the Superior Court of New Han over county, Term of November. 1901 : As foreman, of the grand jury, ap pointed by you and acting under your charge, I have the honor of submit ting report as follows: Ths Bnli.itni "Mr Rnlnl.k T.. r killed and fireman and brakeman I has entrusted to us 53 indictments; of ..ikoi, nn the R. A. L. I these we havn rntpn1 A9. ... bills;" 5 "not true bills," 2 submis sions ana a returned without action for reasons endorsed on each indict ment. We have had 2 cases present ed to us for consideration, from which we have made one presentment. We have inspected the Court House, jail, convict camp at Castle Haynes, coun ty home and the three main public schools for whites. All the county property seems to be in fair condition, with the exception of the county home, and the repairs needed there are not of a serious nature. Court House To particularize we find the Court House needs a new cdver for the stop and waste cock in the yard at the south side of the building. We would also recommend a cut-off cock between the hydrant service at that point and the street The newel post in the basement on the right hand side of the stairs going down needs repairs. The room of the Su perintendent of Public Instruction should have the side.walls kalsomined or otherwise treated to hide stains. A competent architect should pass on whether or not the brick wails sup porting the granite arch just below the clock in the tower of the building need strengthening. In the sheriff's office we find a complaint of inade equate lighting and they want a desk removed from over a heater. We find a complaint of water in the basement, particularly in the room next to furnace room (we believe steps are being taken to correct this trouble.) There are stains on the south side of the main entrance hall which- should be removed. There are minor repairs needed to the sash cords and window fastenings in the basement. In this connection we suggest that the janitor be particularly cautioned to see that all windows and doors are properly closed and locked every night. The Court House was visited by us in a body. The County Jail A committee from this body found the jail well kept and in good condition, both as to repair and cleanliness. The steel ceiling in the basement has rusted and is broken in one or two places, and in repairing the front piazza the contractor has neg lected to fully repair and point up the brick work. These items should be cared for at once. The food furnished the prisoners -was examined and found plentiful and wholesome. We also questioned the prisoners on this point and found they were satisfied. County Home Oar committee found the property mainly in good re pair, but there are many items calling for attention . We examined the prem ises generally and found them well kept and cleanly, the inmates satisfied both with the treatment they receive and with their food. We examined the stores and found them of excellent quality and plentiful. We have no other words than those of commenda tion for the keeper's management, but feel that the property itself should be in much better condition than at pre sent. The heating plant has been out of order foi a considerable time and we find open fires are depended upon for heat. It is the opinion of this body that the heating plant should be put in operation in the interest of economy and the welfare of the inmates of the Home as well as a lessening of the fire risk on the building. We learn that wood is hard to get and costly and be lieve the repair of the heating plant would save considerable money. Many windows are broken and fifty glasses are required for re pair. The blinds are also in bad con dition in many instances, in some cases down spouting and leaders should ba repaired or replaced. The inoira and c&ushes of the doors also need attention, many doors being held shut at night by strings and other makeshift devices. Several of the fire-places need repairs. One fire' nl o nek in th colored department is re nnrteA as defective to the extent of anianrAi-iiip the property by fire, sparks having been seen to issue from the wainscoating in the adjoining room. The steps of the Isolation Ward have entirely disappeared and id Ha renlaced. There should k. o nav don? provided for the WO w w I - pntMtiM to the furnace room in ttio TnsQtia Dflnartment.

Hauser Sentenced to Ten Years in the State Penitentiary in the Superior Court. APPEAL TO HIGHER TRIBUNAL Bond Fixed at $2,000 sad Prisoner Went to Jail Recommendation to Mercy. Other Proceedings Yesterday. Adjourned for the Term. After a tedious and rather sensa tional trial lasting four days in the Superior Court, H. Hauser, the Swiss watchmaker and jeweller, was yester day evening at 6 o'clock found guilty of having set fire to and burned his store, on Market street, on Sunday night, A.ugust 11th last The verdict was reached by the jury after four and a half hours' deliberation and was rendered by the foreman, Mr. J. G. Barrentine, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. The session was about to be adjourned when the jury came in, and judgment was not passed upon the defendant by Judge Allen until 9 o'clock, after a recess for supper had been taken until 8:80 o'clock. The prisoner was sentenced to a term of ten years in the State penitentiary. An appeal to the Su preme Court was taken and appear ance bond was fixed at $2,000, which Hauser could not give and was re manded to jail. The verdict of the jury and the sen tence by Judge Allen were received by the prisoner, although a man of 51 years of age, without the slightest visible emotion, and, with a quick and steady tread he followed Jailor Capps to a cell, when court had adjourned. The court room was crowded with people and every word spoken by counsel or by Judge Allen in passing sentence was received with the utmost silence until the case was ended and the prisoner led away. The court opened yesterday morning at 9: SO o'clock and Hon. Jno. D. Bel lamy occupied two hours in a most earnest and eloquent appeal for his client. He was followed by Marsden Bellamy, Esq , in a speech of the same length which was clear, logical, and an able presentation of the law and f sets. Judge Allen's charge to the jury was a splendid exposition of the law as to the evidence and contentions on both sides, which were entered into elaborately. He explained the rule as to the presumption of innocence and the doctrine of reasonable doubt; that a reasonable doubt was not a mere possibility or imaginary doubtbut a fair doubt based on reason and com mon sense; that the jury should dis- inguish between evidence producing a mere suspicion ana mat producing conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. Upon this point he enlarged and stated that if only a suspicion rested in their minds, the defendant should be acquitted, but if the evidence went further and produced conviction be yond a reasonable doubt, it was their duty to find defendant guilty; other wise, not guilty. He explained that the case in hear ing was one of circumstantial evi dence and that every fact pecessary for the. conclusion sought to be estab lished must be proven by the same degree of evidence as if the whole case depended upon it ; that circumstantial evidence is recognized by the law as a means of ascertaining the truth and when properly understood - and ap plied, it is as satisfactory as any other evidence. When relied upon to con vict it should exclude every reason able doubt as to the prisoner's guilt and every other reasonable hypothesis consistent with his innocence. Two suggestions, Judge Allen said, have been made by the defence as reasonable suppositions consistent with his innocence, viz that some enemy of defendant may have entered the front door and made the prepara tions found in the store; another is that some enemy may have entered from the top through the skylight If either of these was a reasonable hypothesis deductible from the evidence, the de fendant is entitled to acquittal; but if not reasonable and is a mere possi bility, then the jury should not ac quit on that ground, but proceed to de termine whether all the evidence sat isfied them fullv of the defendant's guilt or not. The members u, the jury retired with the case upon conclusion of the able charge and were continuously in the room until 6 P. M except at the dinner hour. Late in the afternoon they asked to be allowed to visit the store, but it was explained that the place had been overhauled and was now occupied by another tenant. whereupon the idea was abandoned When the verdict had been rend-red Judge Allen stated a recess would be taken until 8:30 P. M. and the prisoner would be in custody of the sheriff. Uoon the convening of the night ses sion. Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy moved for a new trial on an error of the court in admitting certain evidence and excluding other. The motion was promptly overruled by Judge Allen, from which ruling the defend ant appealed. Judge Allen stated that he would be glad to hear from coun sel as to judgment and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy made an earnest appeal for his client, saying that under the cir cumstances he hoped the court would make the sentence as light as possible that conviction was on purely circum stantial evidence; that Hauser was a man of good character and had reached an 'age which would appeal to the mercy of the court; that he was not a bad :man : harmless, and. that no other accusation had ever been brought against him; that he believed the jury's recommendation to mercy had meant a compromise verdict and that men who believed him innocent had yielded only for the recommendation. In reply to a ques tion by Judge Allen he stated that Hauser was 51 years old. Marsden Bellamy, Esq., for the State, Btated that His Honor was ac quainted with all the facts in the case; the statute required a sentence from 5 to 40 years and that he had a very wide latitude. He left it ent irely in the court's hands. Brooke G. Empie, Esq., for the de fence, said all the circumstances ap pealed to the mercy of the court; the defendant was far from his native home, without friends, and had an invalid wife; that Chief Schnibben and Aldermen Harriss and Bailev. who had been active in ferreting out the case, were on the side of mercy, and he hoped His Honor would deal leniently with the prisoner. In passing sentence Judge Allen spoke feelingly and said it .was one of the hardest duties of his office to pass sentence; that it was hard to tell just what sentence to impose; that so much is to be taken into consideration, his influence, his age and perhaps a great many other things of which nothing was known. He said the ugliest fea ture of the crime was the utter disre gard of life in using the high explo sives and that he believed he would be doing violence to the law if he made the sentence the minimum. The clerk was then instructed to enter a judgmen t of ten years. The case is one which has attracted a great deal of attention here and else where. Various comments are made upon the verdict. Chief Schnibben is commended for the prompt and effi cient investigation he made and State Fire Insurance Commission er Young, who assisted, is also given credit for the manner in which he protected the interests of the State. The attorneys on both sides also received great credit for the mas terly way in which the case has b'en f ought. Tn court term expired by limita tion last midnight, and Judge Allen, who is always popular in Wilming ton, will leave this morning for Goldsboro, thence to Aulander, where be will hold court next week, ex changing terms with Judge Win ston, who goes to Lenoir county. The following other proceedings were had yesterday while the jury was out in the Hauser case: Moses King, judgment changed bv judge to 30 days on roads; Commis sioners to hire out at expiration of that time to pay costs. Kobert Jenkins and Sallie Lilly, f. and a., defendants recognized for ap pearance at next term. Nathan Hawkins, larceny, 12 months on public roads. John Williams, attempt at store breaking. 18 months on public roads. E. Tiner and Hector McLauchlin, burglary, formally arraigned in court and case continued. Ingram Howe, assault with deadly weapon, 30 days on public roads. FATALLY WOUNDED HIS WIFE Negro in Eastern Section of City Qnar relied and Fired Simply to "Frighten Her" Capfnred Frank Myers, colored, aged 29 years and employed at the Champion Com press, shot and, it is" thought, fatally wounded his wife at their home on Red Cross between Seventh and Eighth streets, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The ball penetrated the woman's face near the cheek bone and has not yet been located by the sur geons, xne woman is at tne Memorial Hospital and Myers is locked in a cell ' at the station house, thanks to the cleverness of Chief of Police Fur long, Capt Williams and a squad of policemen, who gave pursuit soon after the shooting. Myers confessed his guilt immedi ately upon his capture and says the shooting was the result of a prolonged domestic quarrel. He pointed the pistol at his wife and pulled the trigger, thinking he would frighten her, as a spring in the weapon was broken and be had no Idea it would fire. That was bis statement to a reporter from his cell door last night. As soon as he had shot-the woman, the negro fled in the direction of the County Home and was quickly fol lowed by Chief Furlong and the other officers, who brought him to bay in a thick swamp near the County Home. The swamp was surrounded and Chief Furlong and his men made the negro come out He offered no resistance. A pistol he carried with him was thrown away when the officers were close upon him, and it was not recov ered. In the party besides Chief Fur long and Capt Williams were officers Woebse, L. M. Smith, Leon George and H. W. Howell. Reply to an inquiry at the Hospital this morning elicited the information that death might result to the woman at any moment Fishblate Clothing Co. Judging from the number of "new suits" one sees nowadays on the streets. the great slaughter sale by the Fish blate Clothing Company must be In deed a srreat success. Mr. Fishblate informs the Stab that people are bay ing clothing and laying them away because the opportunity now offered cannot be allowed to pass.

Mrs, Kate Watts Bis sett, a most esti mable lady and relict of the late Capt John Bissett, died yesterday morning at 11:20 o'clock at her home, No. 513 North Third street, after feeble health for the past three years but an imme diate illness of only about ten days. Mrs. Bissett was a faithful and con sistent member of St. Andrew's Presby terian church for many years and was one of the oldest and most devoted members of the Ladies1 Aid Society of that church. She was born in Dun dee, Scotland, and possessed n)any charms of personality which drew' to her a wide circle of friends, who join sympathetically with the sorrowing family in its very deep bereavement. When only eight years of age, Mrs. Bissett came to America with her parents, who located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was there she married Capt. Jno. Bis3ett, forty-seven years ago and lived to comfort him until he was taken away eighteen months ago. Only last Monday Mrs. Bissett's mother died at Boneparte, Iowa, at the advanced age of 83 years. She was not informed of the death of the mother prior to her own, lest it would have an ill effect upon her possible recovery. Mrs. Bissett is survived by three sons and four daughters, all grown. They are Misses Mary and Jessie Bis sett, Mrs. R. F. Warren and Mrs. W. C. VonGlahn; Messrs. J. R., J. E. and W. A. Bissett all of Wilmington. The funeral will be conducted at 10:80 o'clock to morrow morning from St Andrew's Presbyterian church with interment in Oaknale cemetery. Married Yesterday Afternoon. A very quiet but exceedingly pretty weddiDg ceremony was solemnized yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Father C. Dennen, when, at the residence of the bride's parents, Capt and Mrs. Jno. T. Harper, their daughter, Miss Mary Harper, was led to the altar by Mr. James J. Darby, a popular young man now residing at Southnori, but formerly of this city. The home was tastefully decorated for the ceremony which was witness ed only by a few intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Darby left on the after noon boat for Southport where they will reside in the future. Rev. Father Marion returned to Fayetteville yesterday. . ..... - DIED, !. .
