MUCH CONGRESSIONAL TALK. Big Crowd Will Leave This Monitor Some Left Yesterdsy F. I. L. I Auditorium Will Be Meetlnr Place Mr. Bellsmy. 80 far as the bulk of travel is con cerned just now, all railroads lead to Fayetteyille. It is the Sixth District Convention city and as there is a Congressman to be nominated there to-morrow, there will ba suoh a gathering of the "faith ful" as has probably not been seen at a Congressional convention b if ore this year. Those who have observed the campaign carefully up to this time feel no hesitancy in saying that it will be the greatest convention in many respects yet held in the State. The attendance will be larger and more representative and the prelimi nary skirmishes promise to be most sharp. The lines are closely drawn and while no one in this neck-o'-the woods doubts the result, the contest promises to be most interesting from tbe start -The vanguard of the New Hanover delegation left yesterday morning aad telegrams from the "seat or war" last night indicate that all Is well and the city is ailing up with people from all points of the compass. Those who left yesterday morning were Major Wm. H. Bernard, chairman of the New Hanover delegation; Col. Geo. L. Morton, nominee for the Legisla ture, who has been chosen to repre sent this county on the District Execu tive Committee, and Sheriff Frank H. Stedman. Mr. Bellamy, whom every body is certain will be renominated, left in the afternoon, going by way of Florence. He reached the convention city and opened his headquarters in the Hotel La Fayette last night. Capt E, G. Parmele, Geo. EL Howell and L. V. Grady, Esqs., left yesterday af ternoon on the steamer Highlander and will reach Fayetteville some time to-day.

A deed of trust from the American Wood Specialty Company, of New York, to the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of the same city, was filed for record yesterday at the office of the Register of Deeds, the purpose of the same being to secure an issue of bonds to the amount of $30,000, due July 15tb, 1913, and bearing 5 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. The bond issue was authorized at a meeting of the directors of the com pany in New York on July 15tb, 1903, and is for the purpose of extend ing the business of the corporation, which Is the manufacture of patent blocks for kindling, extended reference to which was made in these columns some time ago in connection with the establishment of the company's plant in this city, upon the site of the old Weedon Shuttle Block factory in the southern section of the city. The bond Issue means that the plant here is to be increased to mammoth proportions and that the business will very largely add to Wilmington's ex port trade. The property enumerated in the dead of trust securing the bonds is all the machinery, sheds, buildings, wharves, structures of every kind and nature whatsoever on the site of the company's plant, beginning in the southern line of Church street where it intersects with tbe western line of Surry street, 364 feet on Surry and ex tending to the river ; the lease made and executed between Mary O. Darby et al. and L. A Weeden to the Ameri can wood Specialty Company and also a provisional application of patent for the kindling block filed in Great Britain July 4th, 1901, by J. W. Mac Ken zle, of London; another filed in France on April 5th by the American Wood Specialty Co., and another filed in Germany April 5tb, 1902. The officers of the Wood Specialty Company by whom the deed of trust is signed are John B. Eccleston, presi dent, and Frederick W. Bartlett, sec retary. The company, as before stated, man ufactures from the refuse at saw mills and other light wood timber a peculiar kind of fat pine blocks perforated with auger hotels, which find a great sale In the old countries where kindling is extremely scarce. The plant here has been operated for the past few months on a limited scale, but the increased capital will en able the business to be carried on much more extensively. A Maldea Lady Dead.

Coroner's Jury Returned Verdict Holding McKoy Responsible for Swinson's Death. NEGRO GAVE HIMSELF UP. He Thought the Finding Was of Acci dental Shooting and Surrendered Preliminary Trial Before Jus tice Jas. M. McQowan. The coroner's jury empanelled Sun day morning at the office of Dr. C. D. Bell to investigate the killing of the young negro, Arthur . Swinson, re turned a verdict fixing the responsi bility of death upon Walter, McKoy, alias Ellis, who admits ihe shooting but says it was accidental. The ver dict of the jury was as follows: "We the coroner's jury having been duly sworn and summoned by Dr. C. D. Bell, coroner of New Hanover county, to inquire what caused the death of Arthur Swinson, do hereby report that from the investigation and evidence of witnesses that the said Arthur Swinson came to his death by a pistol shot at the hands of Walter McKoy." The jury was composed of G. W. Bornemann (foreman), M. A. Jones, A. J. Yopp, L. Southerland, A. F. Blizzard and J. F. Sellers (secretary). Five witnesses were examined and the verdict above was based upon their testimony. The finding of the jury was at first not made public and it became noised abroad that a verdict of accidental shooting had been rendered. The er roneous report reached the ears of McKoy or Ellis, as he is called, who was in hiding from the authorities and be at once gave himself up to Capt. J. M. McGowan, who sent him in custody of another negro to the coun ty jail, where he is now held for the November term of New Hanover Su perior court on a charge of murder, preferred in a warrant sworn out by Dr. O. D. Bell before Justice G. W. Bornemann. Justice McGowan also issued a warrant for Ellis and although he had been already committed by the coroner's jury he was given a pre liminary examination at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon and re committed without bail. The particulars of the shooting are already known to readers of these col umns. At the hearing yesterday af ternoon Brooke G. Em pie, Esq., ap peared for the defendant and much the same evidence was gone over as was given before the jury of inquest. Mr. Empie was employed by the boy's father, David Ellis, a well known col ored painter of the city, who for sev eral years worked at the First Baptist church. Young Ellis' age Is given by his mother at 17 and some say his record as a bad boy in the community has been establlshsd for some time. Eugene Jackson, the first witness at the hearing, testified that he was at the negro Sanctificationists( church, on Dawson, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, in company with a group of boys. Ellis and Swinson were in the crowd, and they all came out of the building just before the ser vice was over. Two girls came out of the ' church and Swinson and Ellis started to walk home with them. El lis pushed Swinson back and told him to go on; he was going home with the girls. They did not appear to be mad with one another, but were just "fool ing." Swinson went with the girls a short way and came back. A minute later Ellis came back and asked Swin son for a cigarette stump he was smoking. Swinson said no, he had just lit it. Ellis repeated his demand for it several times as if in fun, and then pulled out a pistol and shot, as witness thought, in the ground. Swinson ran to the church door; then around the corner of the church; came back and told El lis he had shot him. Ellis said no, he had only scared him. Ellis then took Swinson around the corner of the churcb, struck a match and with sev eral others found the wound. Ellis then asked the crowd of boys to help him take Bwinson to the doctor, which was done. Swinson said on the way that he didn't think Ellis in tended to hit him. Upon cross-examination witness said the boys were good friends and had been projecting with one another all night. When the two started off to walk with the girls, Ellis poked a pistol in Swinson's face, but it was in fun. Ben Wade, the second witness, told about the same story. Said he heard Swinson say on the way to the doctor, that he did not believe Ellis shot him on purpose. Spencer Murphy and W. H, Ward, colored, testified to substantially the same. Ward said Swinson told him on the way to the doctor that the shooting was not intentional. Jesse Telfair, another witness, was in church and heard only the pistol re port. Dr. T. B, Mask testified as to haying dressed Swinson's wound and attend ing him afterwards. From the first ex amination of the wound he thought the bullet had gone around, but furth er investigation showed that it had perforated the Intestines 11 times. When the officers came to his office and inquired of Swinson the name of the boy who shot him, Swinson said after they had gone, it was no use for them to look for Ellis as the shooting was accidental. The testimony of these witnesses concluded the preliminary and Ellis was recommitted. While no one be lieves that Ellis will be convicted, of murder, it is quite certain that he will suffer for the killing, inasmuch as he was engaged In an unlawful act In pointing the pistol at Swinson when it went off. TAR 1902, DELIGHTFUL BOATINQ PARTY. Pleassnt Moonliht Excarsion by Epworth Lesfae ef Msrket Street Church. A delightful boating party was given last evening by the Epworth League of Market street M.

The first game will be called this afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is understood that Atlanta has the fastest colored team in the South and as the "Black Stockings" have twice taken the wind out of the sails of Schenck's Newborn team, it may be expected that the local aggre gation will be "right there with the goods." A brass band accompanies the Atlanta excursionists and gave a concert at Buth Hall last night. Tested Trolley Schedule. Four cars of the Wilmington street railway were used last night between 7:30 and 9:30 o'clock to test the pro posed schedule that will be in effect on the beach trolley line when the large suburban cars arrive and are put in ser vice.
