THE DOCKET FOR TRIAL.
Severs! Oamtte Cases Are Set for a
Hearl sj Com plaints Is Masy of
Tfcesj Piled Jsrors Ssmmosei
f or Terni Other Notes.
New Hanover Superior Court for
the trial of civil suits only will be
convened to-morrow morning at 10
o'clock, judge EL W. Timberlake
presiding. There 29 cases on thetrisl
docket but none of them are of very
great importance. All are. set for a.
hearing the first three dajs of the two
weeks' term but it is expected that it
will take much longer than that time
to.try them. There are 69 eases on the
motion docket and a large number on
the summons docket, but many of
those, of course, will not be taken up
at-thlsterm.
Perhaps the most interesting case on
the trial docket for to-morrow is that
of Emiline Mask, colored, against the
Oity of Wilmington, in which the
complainant asks damages of the de
fendant in the sum of $5,000 for in
juries received by the overturning of
a buggy into an excavation made for
street work in the northern part of the
city in July 1900, the said excavation
not having the required safe guards in
the way of lights, eta, thrown around
it. The plaintiff is the mother of Dr.
T. B. Mask, the colored phyaician.
Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy appear
as counsel for the plaintiff and Messrs.
Meares& Buark for the defendant
city. Wm. J. Bellamy, Esq., was
formerly of counsel for plaintiff but
upon his election to the office of city
attorney he withdrew from the case.
The other cases set for the first day
are of no general interest. On Tues
day the Strauss suit was set for hear
ing but since its compromise it will
pass off the calendar. The case of the
3. P. Cowan Livery Company against
the city of Wilmington, which in
volves the relative jurisdiction of the
Boards of Aldermen and Audit and
Finance, Is also set for Tuesday and
will be argued by Bellamy & Bellamy
for the complainant; Oity Attorney
Bellamsy and Ex-Judge E. K. Bryan
for the defendant.
The case of Graham Murray against
the city and or. Charles T. Harper,
superintendent of health, in which
the plaintiff seeks to recover $5,000 for
the sllegtd indiscreet removal of a
ick child inftne enforcement of quar
antine regulations, is also set for trial
Tuesday. L. V. Grady is counsel for
plaintiff and City Attorney Bellamy
and Herbert MeOlammy, Eq , for the
respective defendants. The allegations
in the complaint in all material potnta
are denied in to to. The city has filed
a demurrer to the complaint upon the
ground that the latter' document does
not ' present facts sufficient in
law to constitute a cause of action in
that the city, discharging a duty im
posed solely for the public ben fit un
der the law, an artificial body, acting
only through its servants, would-not
in law be liable for the torts of aaid
servants in the exercise of its gover-
mental functions, the doctrine of
respondeat superior - not applying
thereto.
On Tuesday is also set the case of
Penny against the A.O.L.RB. Co.,
the particulars of which are well
known to the readers of the city
papers.
On Wednesday nine other eases are
aet for trial but none of them Is of
interest.
In connection with the calendar
Judge Timberlake has made the fol
lowing order, which is printed on the
same: "uases wui ne caiieu peremptv
. . vis 1 a
rilv on dav set. and if not reached
that day will be tried when reacned.
unless continued by content or upon
legal grounds." Heretofore . the cus
tom has been to continue all cases not
reached upon the day hey are origi
nally set.

Rumor That It Will be Extended Prom
Psyelteville te Charlestos, S. C.
The Washington correspondence of
the Raleigh Post of yesterday con
tains the following:
There is a strong probability of the
Carolina Northern Bailroad being ex
tended from Lumberlon to Fayette
villa. I get this information from E.
K. Proctor, Jr , of Lumberton, sen
era! counsel for the road, who arrived
here to-day from Philadelphia, where
he went to confer with the majority
stockholders. Thia road is now in
operation from Lumberlon to Marion,
- C a distance of 45 miles. Mr.
Proctor tells me that the road is to be
built at once to Charleston, S O . a
distance of 110 miles. Work will be-.
srin witbin sixty days. 'It is the de
sire of the owners of thia road to
build an extension to Fayetteville,
which would give a direct route to
Charleston. Mr. Proctor was here to
ape Representative Bellamy about the
$3,500 appropriation for the improve
ment of the Upper Uape 1 ear. lie
says if thia appropriation Is granted
and deep water ia obtained at Jfayette-
vuie there is no doubt about the road
being extended to that point Mr.
Bellamy will give the River and Har
bor Committee the benefit of this in
formation. It is 83 miles from Lum
berton to Favetteville and it is nro-
posed to cross the Cape Fear about
Tar Heel.;

PEANUT MARKET BULLISH.
Crop Said to be Very Short la Eastern
Virgjsis Higher Prices.
A Norfolk correspondent of yester-
day'a Richmond Dispatch says:
"The fact that an average, of 83 per
cent of the present peanut crop of
Eastern Virginia has already been
marketed is exploited in the annual
trade statement of Holmes & Dawson,
peanut authorities, to be issued to
morrow, i j -
"The effect on the market is de
cidedly bullish. Comnared with a
atock of 100,000 bags in the hands of
Norfolk commission, merchants tnis
time last year, the fact that there are
now only about 8,000 bags on hand
will also boom prices.
"Tho cron is short Holmes & Uaw-
son ssy, snd the favorable weather has
resulted in its rapid harvesting. The
demand, despite the limited supply, is
poor. This is because of advancing
prices. The grade or nuts is umiormiy
higher."
