WILL SUE FOR DAMAGES. Jobs Wallace, Negro Msrierer, Received Second Degree Verdict and Seoteoced for 30 Years Other Cases To day for Jail Defendants. Two important cases were termina ted in the Superior Court Thursday and yesterday while a number of minor matters were likewise cleared from the docket during odd moments intervening. The jury Thursday morning at 10:80 o'clock brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree as to John Wallace, the defendant having been sentenced to the State "peniten tiary for a period of thirty years, the maximum penalty in such cases, and yesterday evening' at 6 o'clock by in struction of Judge Allen the jury in the ease of N. L. Smith, charged with embezzlement, returned a verdict of not guilty and the prosecuting witness. Ludden & Bates' Southern Music House, was taxed with the cost of the action. The Smith case was begun Thanks giving afternoon upon the convening of court at 8:45 o'clock. The State was' represented by Solicitor Duffy, Lb V. Grady, .Marsden Bellamy and Herbert McOlammy, .Esqs., - while Messrs. Bellamy & Peschau and Hon. E K. Bryan appeared for the defen dant The case was very hard fought from the beginning and the entire afternoon on Thursday was consumed in selecting a jury, which was at last empanelled as follows: W. M. Wise. 8. H. Terry, J. T. Bataon. O. A. Wig gins, T. J. Presson, W. B. Bowden, Bertram Quelch, T. S. Tolar, G. W. Parker, H. E. Bonitz, Win. Konig and M. F. Cos tin. After hearing evidence all day and while the defendant N. L. Smith, was undergoing cross- examination yesterday evening at 6 o'clock. Judge Allen brought the case to an abrupt ending by saying substantially that the further the case progressed the more he was convinced that the con troversy was of a civil rather than of a criminal nature; that even if it were brought civilly, the differences be tween the parties were of such wide and varied scope that he would at once place the taking of testimony in the hands of a referee to save time and great expense. He asked counsel for the prosecution if they desired to say anything regarding the matter and in absence of a reply the clerk was instructed to enter a verdict of not guilty. Judge E. K. Bryan, of counsel for defence, then asked for a granting of the motion previously made to make the Ludden & Bates Southern Music House the prosecu ting witness so as it could be charged up with the cost Judge Allen stated that he was Inclined to do this, but said he would hear from counsel on the other side. Messrs. McClammy, Grady and Bellamy each spoke, but at the conclusion the motion was granted except that part of it which charged maliciousness and frivolity. On those questions Judge Allen stated he would hear argument later. The court found as a fact however, that there was not reasonable grounds for the prosecution nor did the interest of the public demand it Only three witnesses went on the stand for , the prosecution yesterday. Upon the convening of court at 9:30 A. M.. Mr. C CL Buckingham, secre tary and treasurer of the Ludden & Bates Company, went on the stand. Mr. W. W. Slaton, now manager of the Wilmington branch .of the com pany, was next witness and both tes tified as to the business dealings with the defendant Mr. J. V. Grainger testified as to the individual and agency account of Mr. Smith with the Murchison National Bank, of which he is cashier. All the testimony was a mass of figures that indicate nothing the general publio unless taken up seriatim. When the prosecution rested, Mr, Jaspersen Smith, brother of Mr. N. L. Smith and secretary and treasurer of the old concern, was introduced for the defence. He testified as to the contract with the defendant and numerous letters and statements were introduced in connection with his tes timonv. there having been a sharp legal contest over each point Mr. A. J. Howell, Jr., bookkeeper for the house while Mr. Smith was its parent was the next witness. His tes timony was relative to the contract, sales, commissions, etc. Mr. J. A. Bates, of New York, for merly general manager of the Ludden & Bates company, testified as to the customs of the concern in dealing with agents, all of which was favorable to the defendant Messrs. Henry W. Miller and W. S. TJztell, composing the music firm of Miller Sc Uxzell, Goldsboro and Ba leigh. were each introduced to prove the dealings of the company with its arents. of which they were one. They also testified as to unpaid commissions due them by the old company before It was reorganised as now. Mr. Smith went on the stand in bis own behalf and had finished his direct testimony. It was while undergoing a tedious cross-examination that Judge Allen put an end to the trial, as de- erihed above. As soon as the trial had .been con cluded,' Mr. ' Smith' counsel had a summons issued by the Clerk of the Superior Court calling the liudaea Bates Southern Musio House to answer in the Superior Court to n suit for $100,000 damages for false arrest and imprisonment, upon the occasion of bis being brought to Wilmington from Georgetown, S. C, and confined in the county jail here some time ago. the particulars of which are well known te readers of the city papers. An attempt was made last night to get service upon Mr. Buckingham, secretary and treasurer of the com pany, but he had left on the S. A. L train in the afternoon, returning -to his home North. The paper was served upon Mr. 81aton, the Wilmington manager, by Sheriff Stedman. Otber Proceedlsfs of the Coart. When court met at 9:80 o'clock Thursday morning, the jury in the Wallace case came into court and re ceived additional instructions by re quest A number of the jurors wish ed to know if a verdict of murder in the first degree with a recommenda tion to mercy would save the prisoner from hanging. They were told that there was no alternative, whereupon they again retired and very soon brought in a verdict of second degree, and Wallace was sentenced to thirty years. Henry Myers, colored, who was tried earlier in the term for shooting bis paramour in the head on Red Cross street was sent to the county roads for twelve months for the assault, to which he plead guilty, and three months for carrying concealed weapons, the trial having been by iury. Alphonto Robeson, colored, for as saulting another negro with a deadly weapon, was given forty days on the roads. Willis Macks, the Charleston negro, who was also tried earlier in the term and found guilty of assaulting a col ored woman with a pistol, was given sixty days on the roads for that of fence; on another indictment for car rying concealed weapons, sixty days. and on still another for perjury in the foregoing cases. Judge Allen sentenced him to twelve months on the roads. Wm. Brown, colored, plead guilty to breaking into the store of E. War ren & Son and was given 12 months on the roads. Judgment was bus pended in three other cases submitted to by him for larceny and receiving; being found in a store in the night time and carrying concealed wea pons. In a case against 8. M. Jones for cutting wood on another's land a nol pros was taken with leave. Judge Allen stated yesterday even ing that to-day he wanted to confine the court to jail cases, a number of prisoners confined having petitioned him to that effect It is not likely, how ever, that the burglary cases of Tiner and McLauchlin will be reached this term and they will go over to the Jan uary term. JUST A LITTLE BASEBALL. Ed. Asbesback, the Here of the DiasaoaeV Is Here Proa pectin r. Mr. E. M. Ashenback, who is favor ably remembered here as manager of the Newport News baseball team in the Two-State League last season, ar rived in the city yesterday from Char lotte. Mr. Ashenback is making a visit to the towns in the proposed Tri State League next year and came to Wilmington to look over the field in this regard.

He, himself, next sea son will manage a team for Charlotte. Ash will leave this morning for Winston-Salem to view the "promised land" there. Cspt. Green on His Rounds. Fred. Quicker, a ten year old col ored boy, was lodged in the station house last night by City Detective Green, charged with the larceny of a watch from Mrs. Jos. H. Hinton, who resides with her mother, at Mrs. Bowden's, corner Second and Chesnut streets. The young negro proved a slick thief and it was not until Capt Green had. worked a clever little de tective trick on the . boy that he was identified as the thief and the watch recovered. The boy had hid it away in. the pantry, he - having been em ployed about the house. It was broken all to pieces when recovered, but the find was a lucky one, nevertheless. Capt Green also recovered last week a bank book and roll of bills that had been lost by a gentleman in the city. A New Head Norse.

THE DAY OF THANKS. Very Generally Celebrated in Wilmington by Closing of Business Houses. OBSERVANCE AT SOUTHPORT. Lsjlof ef Corner Stone of Odd Fellows' New Bolldlnr Was ia Occasion of Macs Pleasare Oration by Dr. Mendelsohn Other Notes. Thanksgiving was perhaps more generally observed in Wilmington this year than in many years previous. Practically all business was suspended and especially was this noticeable in the wholesale district on the wharf. where the observance is not generally sdinarked. In all the city churches services were held morning and even ing and larger congregations than usual were reported. At Southport the celebration par took of a more elaborate nature, the occasion being the laying of the corner stone to a handsome new building which Atlantic Lodge No. 43, L O. O. F., of that city, are now com pleting. Many Wilmington Odd Fellows were present by invitation and many private individuals went down on a special trip of the steamer Wilmington to be present upon the oc casion. The new building is centrally loca ted, two-stories in height and covered with tin roof. The first floor is de signed for a store room with lodge room above. The ceremonies attendant upon the event were according to the programme previously published and very enjoyable. Past Grand Master Marcus W. Jacobi, of Cape Fear lodge, this city, presided, with the assistance of Deputy Grand Master M. C Guth rie, Atlantic Lodge No. 3, of South port. The procession moved from the old lodge room to the new building to the inspiring strains of music by the Southport and Fort Caswell cornet bands combined. A select choir of Southport ladies and gentlemen ren dered a number of pleasing and very appropriate selections at intervals dur ing the exercises. The oration was by the Rev. Dr. S. Mendelsohn, of this city, and was a most pleasing and eloquent one. He spoke or . the order in general and the solid principles behind 1 it with complimentary reference to the local lodges and the evidences of prosperity which the people were then assembled to witness. The corner-stone bears the following inscription: "Atlantic Lodge No. 43, I. O. O. F." On one end is the date Anvil 44th IfiQA ttia ffm whan it MSfl v SBTSSMAflj SW MU4W TV UVH was first laid, so soon followed by a ! storm that destroyed the structure. On the opposite end is the date "No vember 28th, 190L," Among the articles placed in the corner-stone were copies of the three daily papers of Wilmington, Odd Fel- Herald, Southport Standard, history of Atlantic Lodge No. 43, coins, Con federate money and the. customary I grains, etc. There were fully 600 people in at tendance upon the exercises and all of tb em seemed to join heartily in the ; spirit of the occasion, whether mem bers of the order or not The ladies of Southport served delicious lunches, oysters, eta, for the benefit of the building fund and were largely pat ronised. The people of Southport generally and the Odd Fellows especially, did themselves great honor in their Thanksgiving celebration of 1901. SEWERAGE MEN ARRESTED.
