That Was the History tf the New Hanover Superior Court Yesterday. QUESTION OF CALENDARS. .awyers Fonod the One laslsted Upon by Jsdre Timberlake Impracticable sod So They Continued Their Cases.; Proceedings of the Term. The January term of New Hanover Superior Court, Judge E. W. Timber- ake presiding convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and adjourned yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Owing to some confusion over the arrangement of a calendar, all cases on the trial docket for the day were .con tinued. Those aet for to-day and to morrow were also called and contin ued. As the calendar arranged by Judge Timberlake did not suit the lo cal attorneys and as he would not ap prove an arrangement submitted by them and better suited to their con venience, a tacit understanding was effected by the members of the bar of the city last week to continue all their cases. Yesterday morning as the ten cases set for trial during the day were called one by one, they were continued 'by consent" by the attorneys inter ested. When the fifth case was called and the customary "continued by con sent" rang out in the court room, and something was said about the day on which it would be heard next term, Judge Timberlake said : "Gentlemen, at the next term I'll et you all arrange the calendar to suit yourselves. I'll have nothing to do withiLV Then he called the next case and on down the list until all cases "went over." The motion docket was then taken up and the divorce mill started until some half dozen or more mar riage vows were dissolved by the court as follows: Jas. EL Burris vs. Annie T. Burria, C. B. Willi, vs. Thomas J. Willis. Thos. J." Belcher vs. Anna B. Belcher. T. EL Hall vs. Mary Hall. Henry Hartafieldt vs. Barbara Harts- field. - The . two last named coupled are colored ; the others white. Upon agreement of counsel for both sides, it was ordered that the damage suit of Penny against the railroad be set for the first case on the first Tues day of next term. It was set at this term to be tried to-day. A notable array of counsel is now employed in the suit, those for the plaintiff being Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy, E. K. Bryan, Eugene 8. Martin, A. J. ' Mar shall and Herbert McClammy. Those for the railroad are Messrs. Rountree & Carr, Bellamy & Pescbau and Junius Davis. In the 1100,000 damage suit brooght !y N. L. Smith against the Ludden & Bates Southern Music House, Herbert McClammy, Esq., of counsel for the defendants lodged a motion to trans fer to the Federal Court for trial. The motion was continued and Judge Timberlake said he would take the matter under advisement. A motion was granted to Junius Davis, Esq., for judgment by default in the case of Mary E. Grafflin against F. E. Grafflin, involving the title to some property. Ex-Judge Bryan and Geo. L. Peschau, Esq., resisted the motion but wera overruled. Upon argument. Judge Timberlake refused to set aside the verdict in a trivial case entitled Wm. Simon vs. Dan Benton. The cases on the trial docket for yes terday were continued in the morning and in the afternoon the cases set for to-day and to-morrow likewise "went over." ! The case of I. J. Sternberger vs. L Shrier and wife was set for a hearing for the first case on the first Thursday of next term and that of T. G. Will iams vs. Interstate Telephone and Telegraph Company was set for the first case on the first Monday of next term. All the remainder of the cases on the trial docket were without spe cial designation for trial at the next term. Judge Timberlake leaving those matters entirely with the attorneys. The jurors summoned for the first week all answered to their names and were duly sworn except Mr. M. I Stover, who was excused on account of: his occupation train dispatcher. They were needed however, only for the trial of the few divorce cases given above. In the advertising columns of to-day's Stab Sheriff Stedman gives notice that jurors summoned for the second week need-not attend, i Upon the calling up from the motion docket 'of the damage suit of Dr. T. 8. Burbank against the Bell Telephone Company, Junius Davis, Esq.. counsel for the defendant, moved to transfer to the Federal Court on the ground among others that the company Is a New York corporation. Judge Bryan resisted the motion as counsel for the plaintiff and the mat ter was left open for Judge Timber- lake's further consideration. ' The complaint in tha case, filed yes terday, alleges that complainant rent ed a phone for the period of one year from March 1899 and paid in advance therefor; that the plaintiff is a prac ticing Dbvsidan in the city or Wil mington and that the 'phone was rent ed from the defendant for the purpose A tAbliahinar a more direct and .naadv intercourse between the plain tiff and such of his patients who had thRell'Dhone: that on Aug. oin. 1899, while the contract between the plaintiff and the defendant was in full force and effect and after the plaintiff had paid the price agreed upon for the WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, : - - - said 'phone, the defendant over the protest of the plaintiff Xnd for the pur pose of injuring him, without cause or excuse, and to gratify its personal ill will and feeling, unlawfully and wilfMly entered upon the premises of the plaintiff and removed the 'phone in order to disconnect the plaintiff from his customers, and to wilfulrj and deliberately injure him. For the reasons alleged above $5,000 punitive and 50 actual damages are asked. The habeas corpus proceedings brought by Capt W. W. Taylor, an A. O. L. conductor, for the recovery of bis little daughter, was continued until the term beginning March 24th and the child was ordered kept by Mr. T. J. Herring under the former order. In seven cases on the summons docket time was given to file pleadings.

Johnson vs. Robert John son, non suit; M. S. Blossom et al. vs. Henry Green et al., judgment; Wine- bush Mulhauser Brewing Co. vs. L. Weill, non suit; W. D. C. Richard son vs. W. S. O. R. R.

SPECIAL MtETINQ LAST NIGHT Surprise Launched Upon Board, Which Will Attempt to Retaliate Caused a ; Sensation Proceedings of the Session In Detail. "Like a clap of thunder from a clear sky," the Wilmington Sewerage Company last night went into the precincts of the Board of Aldermen and exploded a bomb in the shape of an injunction which .broke up the special meeting of the Council and which will afford the members some thing to think about for several weeks. The Board was called in special meeting at 8 o'clock to adopt an ordi nance which was introduced Friday night by Alderman Johnson for adop tion at the next meeting and which had for its purport the stopping of all excavations by the sewerage company until all ordinances now in' effect in regard to the restoration of streets are fully complied with. The meeting was called to order at thirteen minutes after eight o'clock an unlucky number, by the way and all members were in attendance ex cept Alderman Sweeney. The Mayor read the call for the meeting, setting forth the purpose of same, and every thing was in ship shape for a lively session when Sheriff. Stedman stepped out of the office of Chief Furlong. went inside the railing and served upon the Mayor and each of the Alder men a copy of th i following restrain ing order which explains itself : State of North Carolina, ew ianover Uounty. In the Superior Court, January Term, 1902. The Wilmington Sewerage Company, vs. a. m. waaaeii, Mayor, ueo. Harriss, John EL 8weeney, W. C. VonGlahn, E. F. Johnson. W. E. Mann, O. C. Parker, John F. Maun der, C. L. Spencer, Louis EL Skin ner andE. P. Bailey, constitute g the Board of Aldermen of the City of Wilmington. This cause coming on to be heard before His Honor, E. W. Timberlake. upon a motion made by the plaintiff for : a restraining order, and being heard, and it appearing to the Court that a cause of action exists in favor of the plaintiff and against the defend ants, and the complaint in this cause having been duly verified and exhibit ed to the undersigned as an affidavit, and it appearing to the Court that the defendants are threatening to take some action, the effect of which will be to practically stop the-plaintiff from its work in laying its sewerage sys tem, and that if such action is taken, it will result in irreparable injury to the plaintiff. It ia now on motion of Messrs. Bel lamy & Peschau, and E. K. Bryan, attorneys for the plaintiff, ordered, considered and adjudged by the court tnat tne deienaants and eacn or tnem and their agents and servants and any and all other persons are hereby en joined and prohibited from passing, any ordinance or resolution or enforc ing any ordinance or resolution hereto fore passed, or in any way taking any action or proceeding the result of which will be to interfere with the plaintiff in the prosecution of its work In laying Its system of sewerage In the City of Wilmington, either directly or indirectly. It is further ordered and adjudged by the court that the officers, agents. servants and employes either of the Board of Aldermen or of the City of Wilmington be and they are hereby restrained from in any manner or way interfering with the plaintiff, in the prose 2ution of its work in laying its system of sewerage ; and the defend ants are hereby restrained and enjoin ed from taking any proceeding or action or instituting any proceeding or action the effect of which will be to retard this plaintiff in the prosecution of its work; and persons are hereby prohibited from in any way arresting any of the agents,, servants or em ployes or tnis plaintiff. It is further ordered upon the plain tiffs entering into a bond in the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, con ditioned to pay unto the defendants all such damages as may be awarded against the plaintiff in this action by reason of this restraining order, which said bond shall be approved by the Clerk of the Superior Court; then the sheriff of New Hanover county shall serve upon the defendants and each of them a copy or this restraining order. The said defendants are hereby noti fied to appear and show cause, if any they have, before the undersigned Judge of the Superior Court riding the Fifth Judicial District at Kenans ville, in the county of Duplin, on the 14th day of February, A. D. 1903, why the restraining order herein granted should not be continued until the final hearing. This the 27th day of January, 1903. E. W. TlMBEBTaAKB, Judge Holding Courts, Fifth District It is unnecessary to say that the ex traordinary methods employed by the Sewerage Company completely swept the Aldermen from their feet They had not had time to consider the mat ter of an injunction. Alderman VonGlahn asked that the ordinance introduced at the last meeting be read. Alderman Harriss said that he was advised by the City Attorney that it would be impossible for the Board to pass the ordinance in the light of the injunction else they might be attached for contempt He moved that the City Attorney be instructed to get as sociate counsel, if necessary, and get out an injunction restraining the sewerage contractors from making further excavations and that the asso ciate counsel be Rountree & Carr. Mayor Waddell said he was not the legal adviser of the Board but felt it his duty to counsel the Aldermen against'hasty action ; that the i matter was now in the courts and he hoped nothing would be done to react upon the city later.' 1 . f City Attorney Bellamy also . stated that the injunction was ingeniously drawn and the Board could in no way 1902. a. interfere with or hinder the excava tions at this stage without danger of an attachment for contempt All that remained to be done was to await the time for the hearing of the injunc tion at Kenansville on Feb. 14th and then resist it; that was the only course to pursue and he believed the injunc tion couid be resisted successfully. Alderman Harriss amended his mo tion to the effect that Rountree & Carr be employed with the City Attor ney to take any action necessary. There was further discussion of a desultory character and Alderman Harriss moved to adjourn. Alderman Johnson was about to say something but the Mayor informed him a mo tion to adjourn; was not debatable, whereupon he sat down and the mo tion to adjourn was lost, only Messrs. Bailey, Harriss and Mann voting aye. Mr. Johnson I then addressed the himself to the Mayor to know why the ordinances had : not been enforced in the past Mayor Waddell made no reply to Mr. Johnson, a Alderman Harriss interrupted the proceedings by asking to be excused. Mr. VonGlahn next addressed May or in a harp : criticism- regarding the enforcement of the law. He said it was too late now. Mayor Waddell quietly said he awaited the pleasure of the board. Mr. Johnson was soon again on his feet and said the people of Wilming ton desired a statement from the chairman of the ; Streets and Wharves Committee. He wanted the Superin tendent of Streets summoned before the board and a reckoning in regard to the matter. Mayor Waddell at this juncture in terrupted Mr. Johnson and told him he had heard as much . quietly as he would stand. He wanted no more of it. He concluded his remarks: "Gen tlemen of the board, you have heard Mr .t Johnson's opinion, have you any thing to say!" 'Mr. Johnson ! moved that an ad journment be taken until the follow ingnightat8 o'clock at which time the injunction matter could be gone into. Other discussion ensued for a few minutes and Mr. VonGlahn moved to adjourn. The motion was put and carried unanimously. In the meantime Mr. Harriss had been out to consult a lawyer and came -in after the meeting was over. The next movement on the part of the Al dermen now is to have some citizen get out an injunction against the Sewerage Company, preventing any further excavations. This movement is led by Alderman Harriss. Marsden Bellamy, Esq., ! was consulted last night in regard to the matter and something will likely be done to-day. The resolution, which would have been adopted last night under any ; ordinary conditions, is as follows: "Whereas. It is- apparent that many of the streets of the city of Wil mington on which excavations have recently been made are now in a dangerons condition, and in many places where said excavations have been covered the filling up of said ex cavations has failed utterly to restore said streets to their former condition; and, whereas, it ; is particularly triani- lest since tne recent heavy rams that the so-called restoration of the streets , is inefficient superficial and totally! inadequate; therefore, tsa it ordained bv the Board of Al dermen that the Mayor is hereby in-j structed to stop rurther excavations until all the ordinances passed by this Board regarding excavation and re storation of streets are fully complied witn." i GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS J Maids of Honor to Represent the State of North Carolina at the Mardi Qras Ball in Charleston, S.
