Proceediacs Yesterday. The last term of the Superior Court of New Hanover for . the present year expired last midnight by limitation, after disposition by a number of un important eases during the day. Judge Allen and Solicitor : Duffy will leave to-day for Kenansvttlo to hold Duplin Superior Court, after which they will go to Pender county. Judge Allen there finishing up his circuit of this district. It is with reluctance that the attorneys of the Wilmington bar and the public at large give him up for the present, as he has made a most favor able impression by his fair and impar tial rulings and his uniform courtesy to all who have occasion to visit a court over which he is presiding. He will go from this to the Baleigh dis trict and Judge E. W. Timberlake, of Louisburg, will come here for the term opening January 6th. The following proceedings appear from the court docket yesterday: J. EL Waiters, assault with deadly weapon; verdict, guilty of simple as sault; thirty days on roads. Not guilty as to same defendant for carry ing concealed weapons. Henry Green, false pretence, called and failed; judgment nisi; instanter capias ordered and issued. Henry Purdie, assault with deadly weapon ; guilty of simple assault, and case continued; bond fixed at $25, Martha Clark, larceny of goods from H. W. Konig; plead guilty of larceny and receiving; sentenced to county jail for four months with privilege to County Commissioners to hire out to pay costs. Oscar Millis, forgery ; 4 months in jail with privilege to hire out to pay coats. Thos. Croom, non-payment of costs; capias to issue. J oe Lee, assault with deadly weapon ; nol prossed with leave. In view of the fact that attorneys for the defence began investigation as to legaliCy of the grand jury which re turned a true bill against Hector Mc- Lauchlin and E. Tiner, charged with burglary in the first degree, Solicitor Duffy disregarded the old bill and sent down a new one to be passed upon. The alleged irregularity was that Mr. Samuel Blossom, a grand juror at the time, had a suit pending in court. The grand jury at this term failed to re turn a true bill as to Tiner and he was released yesterday from jaiL The case ofMcLauchlin was continued until the next term. The attorneys for the defence are C. D. Weeks and B. O. Grady, Esqs. Report of the Qraad Jary. The grand jury finished its work yesterday morning and was discharg ed with thanks by Judge Allen, after having returned the following report of its deliberations during the week: To The Honorable O. H. Allen, Judge Superior Court: ' We. your grand jury, have endeav ored to carry out your instructions. On account of the recent term held, have had little business before us and many of these cases of a very trivial nature. We feel that these should be settled in the magistrate eourts with out prosecution by and so much cost to the county. We have had 20 bills or indictment presented to u. 17 of which we found to be true and 3 not true bills. We wish to thank your Honor (or kindness and courtesy shown, for im- partality In presiding and dispatcn or business. We visited -the jaiL which we found to be well kept, clean and well heated. We nnd mat mere is no provision iur the care of unfortunate insane and as the SUte institutions are so crowded that often it is necessary to confine them here for months before admis sion can be had. We feel that duty and humanity demand that provision be made for their care wnue so aetainea. From experience had in the last lew months, we learn that these unfortu nates have inflicted much injury to themselves on account of improper fanilitiM for their care. A pitiful ex ample of this having been presented to us in the case or w my r lowers, wuoui w found in iaiL We are lniormea that there have been three similar fame in the last aix months. We re- thit two nadded cells be built in the jail for care or detainea insane. Respectfully submitted. M. M. Pabkeb, f oreman.

The first four days in January have been decided upon as the time for the poultry and pet stock fair to be given in una cut by tne wumington Poultry and Live Stock Association. The City Hall will most probably be the place. An enthusiastic meeting of the ar rangement committee, consisting of Messrs. 8- J. Davis, Jno. O. Boesch and Frank L. Huggins, was held Fri day night with the Association as a body,-and plans were enthusiastically discussed. A feature of the show will be the hatching of chickens and other fowls by incubator, and a number of dealers have been invited to exhibit their machines on this occasion. It is proposed to make it an educational exhibit and the fanciers of the State are receiving letters asking their co operation. An extract from one of many letters says: "A lively interest in fancy poultry is being awakened among our people, and we believe a large part of the birds sent for exhi bition can be sold. If not sold, birds will be returned to you at our ex pense." Skeletons Exhnmed. While excavating for the laying ot sewerage pipe on the east side of Fourth between Market and Dock streets yesterday morning, workmep unearthed two skeletons of bodies ap I parently buried years ago at a depth of about five feet in the ground.

APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT. ! Important Case In Which Larf e Monled Interests and Constitutionality of Revenue Act Are Involved. Able Counsel Employed. An application, which may become famous in court circles in the State and one which would be far reaching in its consequences, if allowed, was denied by Judge Oliver H. Allen in the Superior Court yesterday, where upon an. appeal was taken to the Supreme Court The case is entitled "Jno. 8. Arm strong, W. E Worth, J. W. Nor wood, EL C. McQ ieen, J. V. Grainger, N. B Rankin, Geo. B. French and W. A. French, trading as Geo. B. French & Son, Andrew Moreland, J. A. Springer, August O. Schuster, Richard Bradley, M J. Corbett T. M. Emerson, V. E Zoeller and F. W. Dick against Frank H. Stedman, sheriff of New Hanover county. North Carolina, and the City of Wil mington." The plaintiffs are all well known bank stock owners of the city, -and the motion is for a restraining order upon the sheriff and city authorities against their collecting the tax on plaintiffs' bank stock with out deducting from it the indebted ness of individual shareholders, as is allowed to other money interests as set forth in the complaint The validity of the entire revenue act is attacked, and the outcome will be watched with interest ' Ex-Judge E K. Bryan is retained as counsel for the plaintiffs and in the complaint it is set forth in substance that on the first Monday in June the Board of County Commissioners and the City of Wilmington, acting under the Revenue Law of 1901, levied and assessed taxes against all the real and personal property of the plaintiffs and that the plaintiffs are informed and believe that the said Revenue Law was not passed by the Legislature in a con stitutional manner, in that it was not read the three several times on three several days, etc., aa required; that the sheriff of the county and officers of the city of Wilmington are threaten ing to levy, upon their property and enforce collection of the alleged ille gally assessed taxes; that the plaintiffs have stood ready and willing to pay the taxes as assessed for 1900 and that defendants have declined to accept same. For a second cause of action the plaintiffs say that they were on June 1st share holders in either the Atlan tic or Murchison national or the two savings banks of the city, and that on the first Monday in June the county and city authorities required them to list all the shares of stock held by them in all banks without allowing them to mafce any deductions from shares on account of debts due and owing by them, in violation of the law. For a third cause plaintiffs allege that' June the 1st the city and county authorities by virtue of the Revenue Act required them to list their shares with no deduction for debts, contrary to Section 27 of the Revenue Law; that there is about $375,000 invested in capital stock of private banks, and in loans by note and mortgages on real estate about $10,000,000 invested and that about $4,000,000 was listed against money on hand for 1900,' and about $21,000,000 insolvent credits, upon all of which property there was allowed deductions for sol vent credits and that the stock of State and National Banks will not exceed $15,000,000; that the County CommisN aionera in allowing plaintiffs no de ductions on account of their indebted ness thus unjustly discriminated against them and that the tax levied against them is at a greater rate than that assessed against other moneyed capital, which was employed In com petition. Judge Allen denied the application in the following opinion from which an appeal was taken : "This cause coming on to be heard unon the complaint filed herein. which is exhibtited to the undersigned as an affidavit, and it appearing to the court that the plaintiffs seek to restrain the sheriff of New Hanover county and the city of Wilmineton from col lectin certain taxes upon the grounds (1) that they are required to list their s bares of bank stock without being allowed to deduct from said shares debts due and owing by them and (2) that the Revenue law was not passed accordance with the provisions of the constitution, and it appearing to the Court that the requirements complained of are neither unreason able, unjust or against conscience. and being of opinion that the courts of the State ahould not interfere by injunction with the collection of taxes, which are necessary for the subsistence of the government when it would tend to serious and grave consequences, therefore, Without passing upon the legal questions involved, it is consid ered that tne said application tor a re straining order be and the same is re fused. O. H. Allen, "Judge 5th Judicial District" County Attorney W. B." McKoy, Messrs. Rountree & C4rr and City At torney Bellamy represent the defend ants and will fight the case in the Su preme Court before which time it can be heard practically all the taxes for the current fiscal year will have been collected. i Aa the Stab employs no trav elling agents, bills are sent direct to subscribers. - These bills should I ceive prompt attention.

The average temperature for the month, 49, is 6 degrees below the normal and 3 de grees below the average of the coldest November heretofore 1878 and 1880. On only five daya was the temperature above the average and on 12 days it ranged from 7 to 17 below. The ab normal character of the month is best illustrated by the fact that the tem perature fell below the freezing point on eight days, which is six above the average and exactly equal to the total number during the previous eight No vembers. Underwriters' Isanctlon. The Star was in error yesterday in stating that the amount involved in the in junction secured by the Wil mington Underwriters' Insurance As sociation was only the tax on $4,900 worth of real estate at 38 cents a hun dred.
