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

ing concealed weapons.

jail with privilege to hire out to pay

Thos. Croom, non-payment of costs;
capias to issue.

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.

POULTRY SHOW IN JANUARY.
Fsiclers of the State Beiag Interested.
Lesson la Incnbatloi.
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

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. The
skeletons were remarkably well pre
served and appeared to have been of
the negro race. The teeth were plainly
, evident and were picked from the
skull by those who desired them for
souvenirs of the find. Last week, while
excavations were being made on
Fourth between Dock and Orange
i streets, other skeletons were exhumed.

TAX ON BANK STOCK.
Judge Allen Yesterday Denied
Request for Restraining Or
der Against Collection.
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"

Coldest November ia Years.
Observer Geo. W. Felger, in charge
of the local Weather Bureau,says that
the month just closed, with its almost
constant low temperature, wa the
coldeat November aince the establish
ment of the station. 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

sociation was only the tax on $4,900
worth of real estate at 38 cents a hun
dred. The amount involved is the en
tire tax on the capital stock of the
company and Eugene 8. Martin, Esq.,
is employed by the plaintiff. Messrs.

A special to the Stab last night
from Southport says: "The United
8tates buoy tender Wistaria, while
replacing beacons t Bald Head to
day, met with an accident in having
a hole punched through her bottom
by a snag. The vessel is lying easy
and will probably be floated without
serious damages.

week, there will be no regular trip of
the Clyde steamer to Wilmington this
week. The Clyde steamer Algonquin,
on her - way from New York to
Charleston, will, however, stop at this
port and leave freight on Tuesday as
