WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST
THE ATLANTIC TRUST
AND BANKINQ COMPANY.
Organization Effected Yesterday by Elec
tioa of Officers $50,000 of the
Stock Subscribed.
At a very enthusiastic meeting yes
terday afternoon of the stockholders
of the recently incorporated Atlantic
Trust and Banking Company of this
city, an organization was affected by
the election of the following officers:
President Matt J. Heyer.
Cashier Mitchell F. Allen.
Directors A. B. Lynch, D. Mc
Eachern, L. B. Rogers, B. H. J.
Ahrens, J. G. L Gieschen, B. B. Bel
lamy, I. M. Bear, B. Solomon, Matt
J. Heyer, Jno. H. Kuch and O. W.
Yates.
The meeting was held at 3:30
o'clock in the rooms of the Merchants'
Association in the Seaboard Air Line
building and 60 of the nearly 100
stockholders in the new institution
were present.
Upon motion of Mr. Matt J. Heyer,
Mr. Geo. B. French acted as chairman
and Mr. B. O. Stone secretary. Mr.
Heyer briefly stated the object of the
meeting and said 500 of the shares of
$100 each had been subscribed, al
though the bank has authority to
begin business on half that amount
or to increase its capital to $100,000, if
desired.
Messrs. M. J. Heyer and John S.
Armstrong were appointed to ascertain
the number of shares represented and
they reported that stockholders own
ing 201 of the 500 shares were in the
room to say nothing of proxies, where
upon the meetingwas declared in read
iness for business. Mr. W. E. Worth
then nominated the Board of Directors
named above and by instruction, the
secretary cast the unanimous vote of
he stockholders for the same.
The Directors subsequently met in
the office of the Atlantic National
Bank and elected Mr. Heyer president
and Mr. Allen cashier.
The bank will be ready to begin
basiness October 1st and will occupy
the rooms formerly occupied by the
Atlantic National Bank.
Mr. Heyer's excellent business abili'
ty is too well known In this communi
ty to need commendation here and it
does not require the ability of a
prophet to foretell-that the institution
will do well under his administration.
The Directors are also men of keen
business sense and wealth. Their
names connected with any institution
at once places it in the foreground of
popular confidence.
Mr. Mitchell F. Allen, the new cash
ier, has been collection clerk at the At
lantic National Bank for the past two
years, having come here from Rich
mond, Vs. He is a young man of
aterling business worth, possessing the
peculiar business tact that fit him
for the position.

disorderly conduct as the excursion
train upon which he came was about
to go out of the shed, ,and who was
badlv cut about Ithe! neck and other
places, was arraigned in Mayor pro

lowed to leave the city. He was juit
out of the hospital for treatment of
his injuries, and Is still in bad shape.
The young white man from Bennetts
ville, S. C, who was some time ago
sent to the county roads for 80 days
because he could, not pay a fine for
disorderly conduct In pulling . a bell
cord on the same train, has been re
leased. The young man's family
heard of his misfortune and sent
money to pay the costs' and for a
ticket upon which to return home.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Bench Warrant Issued for Two
Participants in & Recent
Street Altercation.
CASES TRIED YESTERDAY.
Several Sentences to Connty Roads and
One to State Penitentiary Grand
Jnry Down to Work Again After
Visit to County institutions
A sensational feature of the pro
ceedings in the Superior Court yes
terday was the issuance by Judge
Henry R. Bryan of a bench warrant,
upon affidavit of John H. Gore, Jr.,
Ejq , for Messrs. W. H. Northrop, Jr.,
and Robt. H. Northrop, with whom
Mr. Gore had trouble on the streets
of the city last Monday afternoon.
Mr. Gore alleges in his affidavit that
the two defendants attacked him, aod
that there was an element of consnir
acy in the attack.
The warrant was served at onca by
the Sheriff upon Mr. Robert Northrop,
but owing to Mr. Harriss North rop's
illness the case was not heard yester
day but was set for to-day, when the
two will be taken up together. Judge
Bryan's warrant, with the endorse
ment thereon as to execution, is as
follows:
State of North Carolina In Superior
New Hanover County. Court
To'jthe Sheriff or other lawful officer
of New' Hanover County, Greeting:
Whereas, Jno. H. Gore, Jr., hath
this day complained on oath before
me, Henry R. Bryan, Judge Presidr
ing over the Superior Court of New
Hanover County, that on or about the
11th day of Aug. 1902, one W. H.
Northrop, Jr., and one Robert H.
Northrop did wilfully and unlawfully
assault and beat the said Jno. H. Gore,
Jr., inflicting upon the said John H.
Gore, Jr., serious damage, contrary to
the statute in such case made and
provided and against the peace and
dignity of the State:
These are therefore to command
you forthwith to apprehend the said
W. H. Northrop Jr., and the said
Robert H. Northrop and have them
before me instanter to answer the
above complaint and to ba further
dealt with according to law. Herein
fail not.
Given under my hand this 13th day
of August, 1902. Henbt R. Bbtan,
Judge Presiding.
Executed by arresting Robert H.
Northrop who, by order of the Judge
was paroled In the custody of Mars-
den Bellamy, Esq., for his appearance
at 5 o'clock P. M., this the 13th day
of August, 1902. - F. H. Stebhan,
by J. F. Sellars,-Deputy.
A true bill had not been found by
the grand jury yesterday evening, but
action upon the indictment ia expect
ed to-day. A number of eye wit
nesses to the affray have been sum
moned.
The court was engaged nearly all
yesterday morning in the trial of an
interesting case against James W.
Smith, white, in which the defendant
was charged with an as3ault upon E.
C. Horton, also white. Herbert Mc
Clammy, Esq., assisted the solicitor in
prosecuting and Brooke G. Empie,
Esq., appeared for Smith. After re
maining in deliberation over the din
ner hour, the jury returned a verdict
of guilty, but judgment had not been
pronounced when court took a recess
at 5:45 P. M. for the day.
Another case which was hard fought
and upon which the jury is tied up for
the night in the Court Hous, was that
of Bill Moore, colored, charged with
the larceny of a sack of flour from
the Atlantic Coast Line. There was
a sharp legal fight over the . negro's
guilt between Solicitor Duffy and
Messrs. Davis & Davis for the prose
cution and Herbert McOlammy, Esq.,
and Brooke G. Emple,Esq., for the de
fence. James Spencer, colored, plead
guilty to an assault with a deadly
weapon and was sentenced to six
months on the roads. For carrying
concealed weapons, he stood trial, was
found guilty and sentenced to an ad
ditional term of 60 days on the roads.
Minnie Clark and Fanny Williams,
alias "Hoss Face Fanny," denizens of
Racket Store alley, were sentenced
each to 3 months in the county jail
with leave to Commissioners to hire
out for making an assault with a dead
ly weapon upon D. . B. Melvin and
Jno. F. Thompson, two country dar
keys, who recently "struck the town"
on an excursion from Lumberton. For
the additional charge of robbing Mel
vin of $15, "Hoss Face Fanny" will
do 12 months in the State penitentiary.
Arthur Moore, colored, charged
with an assault with a deadly weapon
upon Liacy Hheredan, coloea, upon
whose toes he trod in a recent color
ed dance, was found guilty of simple
assault and fined $5 and costs.
The grand jury failed to find a true
bill against Isaac Pollock, white,
charged with the larceny of sacks
from the N. C. Cotton Oil Co.
A committee from the grand jury
yesterday visited a number of the
county institutions preparatory to
making its report for the term, but
later in the afternoon it got down to
routine work again and from the per
sonnel of witnesses being heard yester
day some highly sensational develop
ments may be looked for later.
I ncrease fa Valuation.
The computation of the tax returns
from the country townships, complet
ed yesterday, will show an increase in
the valuation of real and persons! pro
perty of about $100,000. It is also said
there will be a corresponding increase
in the city. Tax-dodging, therefore,
appears not to be as effective as it was
at one time or rather that values have
greatly Increased. A number of the
corporation reports have not yet been
secured from Raleigh, which makes
the work of computation extremely
difficult. '

VISITING CHILDREN

Party from Odd Fellows' Orphanage En
