Henry Corbett, a negro youth who works at Mr. Frank Herbst's planta tion in the country, was returning home on the Shell road yesterday about noon with a load oi lumber th eitv. When a short way from town some one recklessly shot a pistol toward the road and we Matters were again rushed by Judge Timberlake and Solicitor Duffy in the Superior Court : yesterday and the re sult was that 'the business of the two weeks' term was finished by evening and a permanent adjournment taken. It is a phenomenal record and it is calculated that the county is saved about $750 in fees that would have piled up during a two 'weeks' term had it been necessary for long and tedious criminal hearings, which Judge Timberlake appears to have a peculiar penchant for avoiding, at the same time seeing that the ends of jus tice are properly met Fifty-six cases in all have been dis posed of and about fifteen recruits have been secured for the county roads. Two important cases were disposed of yesterday and both in apparently the very best manner possible. Hector McLachlin, the young white man, submitted through his counsel, R. G. Grady and C. D. Weeks, Esqs., to burglary in the second degree and i Judge Timberlake sentenced htm to ten years in the peni tentiary. Grattan Pierce, the young negro charged with the killing of the old colored man Tom King, submitted through his connsel, Messrs. Bellamy and Bellamy and Herbert McClammy, Esq., to murder in the second degree, and he was sentenced to the peniten tiary for five years. The minimum penalty for the1 latter offence is two and the maximum ten years in the State prison. Both cases were disposed of before the recess for dinner at 2 :10 P. .M. , and only one' or two witnesses were heard in each case in order to give the court some acquaintance with the nature of the crimes. A special venire of 100 per sons was summoned to hear the Mo Lacblin case, but after the submission the venire was found unnecessary. Upon the adjournment of court at 4:30 P. M., all jurors for both the first and second weeks were notified that they need not attend further. The following cases were disposed of during the day other than those given above : John 8picer, larceny, not guilty. Pnscilla Bradley, perjury, con tinued for State; defendant recognized in sum of $100. Arthur Tavlor. larceny; verdict guilty and sentenced to twelve months on public roads. Arthur Taylor, larceney, same as above, judgment suspended. Charles Hankina, larceny; verdict guilty and sentenced to twelvemonths on public roads. In another case for the same offence judgment was sus pended. Andrew Bell, larceny; twelve months on county roads. In another case for same offence, judgment was suspended. 1 Robert Jenkins and Sallie Lilly, fornication and adultery; six months in county jail with privilege to hire out for costs as to Jenkins, two-thirds to be paid-by Jenkins, and one-third by Sally Lilly, who is recognized until next term of court. , m ....

Just prior' to the adjournment of Superior Court yesterday Judge Tim berlake heard several affidavits in a habeas corpus proceeding brought by Capt Wi W. Taylor, an A. C. L. conductor, of Florence, 8. C, for the recovery of his little 11-year-old daughter, who was in possession of Mrs. Taylor, who is separated from the husband and who now resides in Wilmington. Capt Taylor was rep resented in the hearing by Marsden Bellamy, Esq., and Mrs. Taylor was at first without counsel, but Herbert McClammy, Esq., when the case was called and seeing the helpless condi tion of the woman, volunteered his services and jvery ably defended her side of the case. Tne affidavits read set forth that Mrs. Taylor was addicted to the ex cessive use of opiates and other stim ulants and for that reason a separ ation was bad several months ago, the little girl, a sweet faced child, re siding with her father at Florence. Some time ago Mrs. Taylor went to Florence and secured possession of the child in j Capt Taylor's absence and brought her to Wilmington, hence the proceeding for the recovery by the father. The defence in the action was that Mrs. Taylor made use of opifites and stimulants only in a medicinal way and that further time should be grant ed for counter-affidavits. Judge Timberlake was tender in his dealing with! the unfortunate case, and placed the child in custody of Mr. T. J. Herring, a kind-hearted gentle man Qf this city, who agreed to care for it pending a settlement of the habeas corpus: proceeding on Jan. 27, when the Superior Court will again convene here.! The child expressed herself as loving both her father and mother and each of them was given permission to visit her as often as once a day, pending a settlement of the case. 8he was first with her father and then with her mother in the court room yesterday, and was frequently in tears. The case is a sad one indeed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are former residents of Duplin county, this State, and are of excellent family connec tions, j ANNUAL MEETING N. N. S.

The Chapter officers were installed in an impressive manner by Grand King EL G.

Annual Meeting Held Yesterday at Cat hi. rine Kennedy Home Noble Charity. A most enthusiastic annual meeting of the Ladies' Benevolent Society was held at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Catherine Kennedy Home, Ninth and Princess streets. Mrs. Roger Moore presided, and there was a goodly number of ladies in attend ance. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President Mrs. Roger Moore Vice President Mrs. P. Pearsall. Secretary Miss Louise Harlow. Treasurer Mrs. W. R. French. The reports of all officers showed the conduct of this magnificent charity during the past year in every way ad mirable. The Home has been sus tained at a cost of between $800 and $900 per year and there is a very creditable balance in the treasury, which the ladies hope very soon to increase and expend in improving and enlarging the already very hand some building. The reports of the officers, however, showed that many people do not recog nize the great work of charity being done by the noble organization. It may well be characterized as one of the greatest charities in the State, and if the ladies can only secure the co operation of the people of the city at large in the way of membership there is a scope for still greater work. Mem bership in the society costs only $1 per year, and the opportunities for good are abundant The society now owns the -Home, valued at $7,000, and other property which yields a neat revenue. This could be greatly increased with the proper encourgement The Annual Meeting OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE ATLANTIC NATIONAL BANK will be held at its banking house at 12 noon, Tuesday, January 14th.

Frances Boyden, the American prima donna soprano, the pet of Lon don; Zerni, the remarkable tenor, and Albert!, the authoritative baritone, are among the other singers in the party. - The musical blacksmiths are along, and the delightful evenings en joyed by the other cities named are promised Wilmington in detail.
