The New Hanover Superior Court Adjourned Yesterday Short ly After Noon. IMPORTANTiCASE CONTINUED. The Qore-Northrop Matter Will Not Be Heard Uatil November Hasf Jsry la Nef ro Case Returned Ver diet of Guilty Notes. The trial docket haying been ex hausted and the grand jury oaring finished its work, the August term of the New Hanover Superior Court for the trial of criminal eases waa ad journed sine die yesterday at 13:30 P. M., and Judge Bryan left in the after noon for bis home in Newborn. So licitor Duffy remained over and is spending a shott time with Mrs. Duffy at the beach. , Interest In the proceedings yester day waa all absorbed in the expected trial of the Measrs. Northrop for- the assault upon John H. Gore. Jr., Esq., particulars of which were printed in these columns yesterday. There was a large crowd in the room when court convened, but the expected trial did not take place, the defendanta having waived the preliminary examination by the Judge that is required on a bench warrant, and the case having been continued until the next term, which will ' oonrene November 3d. Each of the defendants gave $300 jus tified bond, with Messrs. Marsden and John D. Bellamy as sureties. The grand jury upon the opening of court returned true bills against the defendanta in two cases; one for as sault and battery, the other for con spiring to commit an aisault. The jury which remained out all night in the case of Bill Moore, col ored, charged with stealing a bag of flour, probably not worth over SO cents, came into court very early and rendered a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to the court for mercy. Judge Bryan sentenced Moore to six months on the public roads. John Grady, colored, for an assault was given 60 days on the roads. Grady ia already serving a term at the camp for an offence tried in the municipal court and his sentence in the above will bsgin upon the expiration of his present term. Jas. W. White, the young white man charged with assaulting E. O. Horton, waa fined $30 and required to pay the coats before the next term. The case against him for nuisance was con tinued. The report of the grand jury ia pub lished in another column. ROUTES TO THE CONVENTION. Ne Special Trail, Bit Remarkably Low Rates oi Regular Schedule. There will be no special train from Wilmington to Fayette villa for the Congressional convention. So, it will be necessary for all who wish to reach Fayetteville before 13 o'clock noon, Wednesday, when the conven tion will be called to order, to leave Wilmington not later than 7 P. M. Tuesday, taking the route via Wilson and arriving at Fayetteville about 1 o'clock A. M. Wedneaday. The cheapeat route, however, is by he Atlantlo and Yadkin, leaving Wilmington at 9:10 A. M. On ac count of the Confederate reunion at Greensboro a round -trip rate is offer ed of $3:55, which holds good, of course, to Fayetteville and return. As suggested in the Stab yeiterdsy, a majority of those who will attend the convention will undoubtedly take advantage of the Greensboro rate and leave here Tuesday morning, ar riving in Fayetteville at 13:20 P. M. the same day. REY. MR. H0RSF1ELD ACCEPTS. He Will Become Rector of St Stephea's Episcopal Parish, Goldsboro. Bev. Frederick H. T.

Bev. Mr. Horsfleld will enter upon his duties at Goldsboro Nov. 1st and will be later joined by his family, mem bers of which remained North during Mr. Horsfleld's residence here. Rev. Mr. Honfield has made hun dreds of friends in Wilmington and has impressed all as a consecrated ana very able minister. While it is re gretted that he is to leave Wilming ton it is, nevertheless, .gratifying to know that he will be located near enough to the city to permit of an oc caaional visit.

Msa-Trallers Wasted for the Csplnre of Criminals Report as Received In tbe Superior Court Yeiterdsy. The absolute necessity for blood hounds in view of the repeated rob beries that have occurred lately was emphasized yesterday by the grand jury in its report to the Superior Court upon the close of the term. Tbe report was ordered served upon the Commissioners by Judge Bryan and it is believed that very soon ac tion will be taken upon that section of It which so strongly recommends the purchase of man trailers. New Han over boasts of perhaps the most able Board of Commissioners in the whole State and it goea without saying that the matter will receive prompt atten tion. The grand jury was thanked for its services during the term and dis charged after the reading of the re port -which is aa follows: To the Honorable Judge Henry R. Bryan of the Superior Court of New Hanover County: Honorable Sib: For the term of the Superior Court ending Aug., 1903, the grand jury selected performed the duties Imposed upon them, beg to submit the following reports: There has been presented to ua 34 indict ments and We have found 33 true bills and two bills not true. We have been considerably delayed in our work by the non-attendance of witnesses. We recommend that wit nesses who are subpoened before the grand jury should be impressed with the fact that their immediate atten dance ia desired. We visited the county jail and found the building neatly kept and in good order. The prisoners are well cared for and fed according to the requirements of law. We, however, recommend that the County Commissioners have the inte rior walls of jail whitewashed and such metal work as may be in need of same be repainted. We carefully inspected county Court House and as a whole we find it in ex celent order and well kept with the ex ception that the janitor has been some what alack in his attention to keeping the unused parts of the basement properly cleaned. We find that there la considerable paper, excelsior and other combustible matter carelessly strewn in some parta of the building ! and especially do we call the court's attention to the untidy appearance of floors in the two vaults, the same being covered with expectoration. In the Register of Deed's vault the tax books of 1876 were carelessly strewn on the floor. If this book is of any value we recommend that it be prop erly bound and cared for. A number of other books were found loosely piled in one of the basement rooms and we again recommend, if these books are of any value, shelves be provided for the same and that they be cared for properly. There are some few incidental re pairs, such as the fitting of frames in openings in walls under steps and the repairing of some timbers in roof truss and the painting of iron beams at base of tower. We visited the County Home and found everything in most excellent condition. The inmates were proper ly clothed, had clean sleeping apart ments and supplied with well cooked food. Inmates speak in highest terms of their treatment. We also Tisited the Castle Haynes convict camp and found the prisoners healthy, well cared for and properly fed, bat we recommend that separate apartments be provided for the white men prisoners. We also recommend that more bunks be provided for the colored women department as we find there are 9 pris oners and only two bunks. The County Commissioners should inves tigate this matter and provide more facilities for the care of the female convicts. The building in which the convicts are housed is in a fearful condition and if it is the intention of the authorities to use this building for any length of time, same should be put in better re pair before the Winter seaaon begins. With!these few exceptions the convict camp appears to be in good condition. We further recommend in view or tbe numerous burglaries that have taken place in our . midst that tne County Commissioners purchase s pair of well trained, high pedigreed blood hounds, and thst this purchase be made immediately, as, in spite or tne numerous burglaries that have taken nlace in our vicinity, not a single in dictment has been presented for our consideration. We have the honor of aubmunng the foregoing recommendation and re porta to your honorable court. We remain, Yours, very truly, Jno. W. Rkilly, H. E. Bonitz, Clerk. Foreman.

Efforts to Revive tbe Lad After ia Hour and a Half la the Water Were Fruit less The Burial Near Castle Haynes This Morning . Playing innocently upon a raft of timber in the river just above the steamer Hurt's wharf yesterday after noon at 12:30 o'clock, Andrew Cowan, the six-year-old son of Mrs. Ida S. Cowan, who conducts a boarding house at 217 North Front street, lost his balance, fell into 20 feet of water and was drowned before he could be rescued. The little fellow soon after dinner went with his brother James, three years his senior, and were amus ing themselves romping on the rafts and walking from one to another on small sticks of timber that bound two or more of them together. While balancing himself with his arms on one of these the boy was seen to topple and plunge into the water. Several workmen on the new wharf for J. A. Springer & Co. saw the accident and rushed to the scene, but the little fel low had disappeared from view. Mr. John B. Turrentine, Jr., who later arrired, made heroic effort to get at the boy diving, but his efforts wera .in vain, ueorge Brown, a colored steve dore, next made an effort to get the body by diving, and after several plunges his search was rewarded and the little fellow waa brought up and laid on the wharf by Policeman D. A. Bowan. Physicians were at once summoned as it was discovered that though the body had been in the water for an hour and a half, life was not wholly extinct. Drs. Bulluck and Collier were soon upon the scene and they did everything possible to revive the boy but it was in vain. The body was taken from the wharf to Mr. D. McEachern's store and packed in salt a remedy prescribed by many but this last effort was futile and the boy waa taken to his mother's home over Sternberger's store, where Coro ner Bell viewed it and gave orders for for its burial to Undertaker W.) W. King. Mrs. Cowan, the mother, was over come with grief at the tragedic death of her little aon and physicians are still attending her. Andrew was a bright boy and was a regular attend ant upon Grace Methodist Sunday school, where he was a member of Mrs. W. W. Hodges' class. Besides the elder brother, there is one younger and a little sister. Their grief at tbe drowning of little Andrew was indeed pathetic. Mrs. Cowan is the widow of the late James Cowan, ao well known as a Justice of the Peace near Castle Haynes. . The remains of the drowned boy will be taken to Castle Haynes this morning for burial in the family grave yard near that place. THOMAS ALLEN BROWN.

Movement for Memorial to Comrades Re cently Innngnrnted Is Benrlnj Fruit. Veterans of Other Commsnds. A few days ago the Stab printed a communication regarding the lauda ble undertaking of Uev. J. A.

That the movement upon the part of these gentlemen is destined to be re warded by success, is evidenced by the following correspondence handed the Stab yesterday for publication: Wilmington, N.

It was not our or iginal purpose to ask for aid from veterans of other commands, but your letter, while not needed to show your interest in the eause, breathes such a true and loyal comradeship, that I am constrained to publish it, believing that there are others who, like you, fought and suffered on other fields, and who also may like to share in perpetuating the memory of those we seek to honor.

A noble woman srone to rest. To-day In the beautiful cemetery of Pike Creek Church we consigned to mother earth aU that waa mortal of Mrs. Annie B. Brown, widow of the late Bryan Brown. She was the daughter of the late Dr. 2Hand James of Wilmington, her mother being Hiss Harlot Brown oi Salisbury, N. C, by whom she was reared, her fathor hav ing a led when she was a mere child. She is sur vived by her mother. Sirs. Scherer, two own brothers, Mr. Loverd James of Concord and Mr. A. L. James of Lanrlnbur2agii7tra' half brother, Bev. A. B. Scherer of Charleston, 8. C, and one daughter, Mrs. Mollle B. Hayes and three sons, William A , ihomas J. and Onancey 8. Brown, who mourn her untimely death. In many respects Mis. Brown was a remark able woman. Young, tender, beautiful and accomplished; little acquainted with ; country life, at the early age of seventeen she was mar ried to Mr. Bryan Brown and settled on the farm near Rocky Point. Her husband being afflicted with rheumatism soon became a con firmed invalid, and the burdens and responsi bilities of keeping up the farm, in addition to her household duties devolved upon her, and with wonderful skill and ability she rose to the emergencies and succeeded most ad mlrably . In 1886 her life was darkened by the loss of her husband who had been her comfort and inspir ation. Thus left a widow with five little chil dren to support, the estats- heavily In debt, she started lite anew. Under circumstances cal culated to make the heart of the stoutest man qnall, yet the spirit of this wonderful woman was not crushed. With heroic efforts and In domitable energy She addressed herself to pay ing the debts or the estate and rearing her chil dren, and from the farm alone, she paid off the debts and gave to ner children a liberal educa tion. She gave her personal attention to the management of the farm, and her surprising skill, Judgment and success demonstrated that she was one of the best farmers on Rocky Point. But while she managed the farm so wisely and well she at the same time preserved those vir tues and arraces of gentleness and refinement which make up the charm of noble woman hood. Always kind to the poor and needy, ever accommodating as a neighbor, her place will be hard to fill. In the home she filled the place of father and mother both, and reigned as queen In the heart of all the children and grand children. Since early womanhood she had been a faithful and useful member of the Presbyte rian Church, and during her eight montluof severe suffering she has borne her afflictions with great Christian fortitude and patience willing to suffer and live, if the Master so will ed, but longing to be "relieved of life's weary load." Her Influence and example will long be felt and appreciated In the community at large. The funeral was conducted by Dr. A. D. Mc Clure of Wilmington. B. DIED.
