Toe millinery department in charire of Hiss Cressler was never mora re. plete with fashion's latest txncitst and all that is new in the art fastidious. The decorations, toe, are exquisite and to look upon the wealth of beauty, if for no other purpose, is well worth the time it takes to iro ovm th inA. niently arranged apartment. Not only is the gala attire in evi dence in the millinery parlors, but all over the store it is as neat as a new pin. Mr. Q. Henry Haar and Messrs. R. C. Piatt and A. L. Prlei h wrought wonders in the decorative art and upon every hand are exhibi tions of their cleverness. "The Race for Public Patronage," designed by Mr. Haar, is novel and pleasing to the eye.

Laces are also shown in abundance and the dress goods depart ment never had more attractive fab rics. A cordial invitation is extended the ladies to visit the store to-day. A Nljht With Justice Boraemina. Although 'Squire Bornemann has hia headquarters in the extreme north eastern section of the city, he hid a distress call last night about 10:30 o'clock from the uttermost confines of Dross Neck, in the far southwestern section of the city. Ernest Bland, colored, sought out the "Dry Pond" justice and told him that Almore Hill, a South Carolina negro, had invaded a house in which he was sleeping and made htm jump through a window for ear of his life. A woman in the same house was attacked and beaten with an axe. Justice Bornemann made haste to Constable Sheehan's house and informed him of Bland's narrow escape from being the victim of a tragedy. Mr. Sheeban was sick and couldn't respond to the call, so Justice Bornemann sallied forth, came up with Policeman H. P. Merritt in the vieity of the scene of the scared negro, and a meat axe and together the two soon had the bad.negro in the clutches of the law. He confessed all and went to jail V5r preliminary trial before Justice Bornemann at noon to-day. LOCAL DOTS. The W. C. T. U. will meet this f ternoon at 5 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. building.

Motion Not Sustained by Judge Bryan, and Defendant Will Introduce Evi dence This Mornlnv..Witne8se8 for Defendant Heard. It will require all of to-day's and perhaps part of to-morrow's session of the Superior Court to complete the trial of the Penny damage suit against the Atlantic Coast Line, which was entered upon yesterday. At the close of yesterday's proceedings the plainUff had introduced only three witnesses and rested and argument- was Jid be fore Judge Bryan upon a motion by defendant to quasb, which was over ruled. Evidence in behalf of the rail road will ba introduced this morning and this will probably be followed ly further testimony for the plaintiff iu rebuttal. Both sides exhausted their number of paremptory challenges and made many for cause before the jury to try the issues in the case was finally selected yesterday morning. This re quired until about noon and resulted in the following having been empan elled : I. W. Solomon, John Dyer, W. H. M. Koch, E. H. Sneed, Charles D. Foard, Ike K. Pinner, W. E. Koonce, Richard J. Jonev, F. A. Montgomery, Geo. Harriss, Walter G. MacRae and C. D. Gilbert. The following issues were agreed upon and submitted: 1. Wn the plaintiff injured by the negligence of the defendant? 3. Did the plaintiff by hia own neg ligence contribute to his injury ! 3. What damage, if any, has the plaintiff sustained? Mr. B. F. Penny, the plaintiff who sues for $20,000, was the first witness introduced. He related that on Sept 16 th, 1898, he took passage on one of defendant's trains for his farm at Le land, Brunswick county, the first sta tion beyond Navassa; that an alterca tion with an unruly negro and the conductor, the late Capt. Sam Cannon, took place in the second-class coach in which he was riding and that whifS leaving the car at his destination the negro, who was ejected from the train, fired at the conductor, but by mistake the ball hit the plainUff; that the wound was in hia groin and in conse quence thereof he ' suffered much bodily harm and is still suffering at times; that the ball until this day has never been extracted, though diligent search has been made for it by physi cians and he yet fears ratal conse quences. The next witness was Mr. Cyrns VanAmrin&e, baggage master on the train, who testified that the negro, Sam Callaway, who haa since been sent to the penitentiary, boarded the train at Wilmington, and waa drunk and inclined to be rowdy under the Front street station shed ; that at Na vassa the late Capt. J. W. LaMotte, who haa since died, and also Capt. Sam Cannon, had trouble with the negro; that he saw Mr. Fenny shot at Leland, and witnessed the ejection of the negro prior thereto. Mr. Carl Stern, a passenger on the same train, also testified to the shoot ing, and Mr. H. C. Lumsden, a rela tive of Mr. Penny, testified as to plain tiff's great bodily suffering. At this juncture the plaintiff rested bis case, and counsel for the railroad made a motion to non-suit upon the ground that the evidence waa insuffi cient. The motion waa made under the Hinsdale Act, but waa not sus tained by Judge Bryan. The jury waa sent out of the room while the ques tions of law involved in the motion were argtied by Messrs. Rountree & Carr, Bellamy & Peschau and Davis & Davia for the Coast Line, and Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy, E. K. Bryan, Herbert McClammy, A. J. Marshall and Eugene S. Martin for Mr. Penny. At 5:30 o'clock after ruling upon the motion Judge Bryan ordered the jury to resume its place in the box and asked defendant's counsel if they desired to begin with their witnesses. Mr. Davis said they would wait until morning and accordingly a recess was taken until 10 A. M. to-day. The evidence in the case is being- taken by Miss Shrier as official court stenographer. The following talesmen were or dered aummoned for service to-day: J. C. Springer, Hanson Blanton, H. M. Emerson, W. W. Blair, A. E. Car ter, B. F. Hall, R. O. Grant, Jno. W. Murray, William Blanks, C. T. Grant, H. Lacy Hunt, J. F. Garrell, W. A. 8anders, Jas. H. Curtis, C. C. Coving ton, Bartley D. Baldwin. Another Brunswick Convention. Mr. W. H. Phillips, Democratic nominee for the Legislature from Brunswick county, arrived in the city last evening. He says there is still another convention called to meet In his countv. The "Conservative Demo crats" have issued circulars calling a convention of ail voters of their per suasion to meet at Lockwood's Folly to-morrow. A full county and legis lative ticket will be nominated. The Republicans so far have held no con vention, but they largely participated ..... .. . . m 1 it in the distribution or me omce oj wo "Citizens' Mass Convention" at Locx- Will ahnrt Mm a aco. TheV were doubtless satisfied with the result of that meeting, but may later call tbe fourth convention in Brunswick this year. m-.t rhnros rtf Christ BcientK UnwMion hank building on GheV. . . CI I..- 11.1. ...nlnn at ft V AH are Invited, . THE Q0RD0N-SHAY OPERA CO Attraction at the Academy To-nifht I hat Will Likely Draw Fashion sad Beauty . of tbe City Paul Gilmore Miss tfosa Cecilia Shay's "Carmen" will be witnessed at the Academy of Music here to-night with the most in tense interest. The enthusiasm over the young artist in Richmond and Norfolk was uprecedented since the days of Emma Abbott. The great beauty, of the singer of course, lends greatly to her performance. The opera will be presented with an attention to every minute detail seen in metropolitan productions. The cos tame?, which are all new, were made after original drawlnga and the hand somest that were used by a road com' pany. The scenery which inoludea several magnificent settings, will be brought here oa a special car from Raleigb. From a scenic standpoint the production promises to ba a ' reve lation. Miss Shay, it will be remembered by all those who have heard the talented young artist, is a daughter of Judge Shay, the famous criminal lawyer of Cincinnati. The beautiful young si uger is, of course, the very apple of h.s eye, and he and Mr. Gordon have surrounded her with a wealth of scen ery and an array of brilliant costum ing not usual, even in these days of lavish stage expenditures. Some idea of this wealth of environmeut may be gathered from the. simple statement that the production of "Faust" alone coit more than $35,000. The performance in Richmond at tracted a- most fashionable audience, including Governor Montague and many other?. The Richmond Dispatch, in discus sing tbe performance of "Faust," makes the statement that Miaa Shay'a performance disarms criticism, and de clares that there is no other operatic organization on the road that begins to be compared with thir, which Mana ger J. Saunders Gordon has so suc cessfully equipped this season. Following the attraction to-night will come Mr. Paul Gilmore to-morrow night in "Tyranny of Tears." The box sheet opens this morning at the Academy's down-town office at Plum- mer, No. 204 Princess street. DAY'S NEWS ON THE WHARF. Steamer Planter Arrived from Georgetown.

OPENING AT READER'S Magnificent Display of Millinery and Dry Goods at Popular Department Store. THRONGED WITH LADIES. Annual Event Was the Most Talked-of Affair in Wilmington Among the Ladies YeBterday Concert by HoIIowbu8h'a Orchestra. The semi-annual display of milli nery and dress goods at the popular department store of Messrs. J. H. Rahder&Oo., 615-619 North Fourth street, began yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and will continue in all its splendor until 7 o'clock this evening It ia saying a great deal to lay down the proposition that "this season's opening is fully up to the standard of similar events in former years, but, if anything, the present effort has ex ceeded all others in point of styles shown and elaborateness of display. The ladies flocked to the store yes terday in hundreds and last night the throug were simply immense. It re minded one of holiday times when lady shoppers turn out en masse. Their going was not in vain, either, for the popular management of the store had lots to entertain them and a wealth of beauty for them to look upon. The decorations this year are ex ceedingly pretty. The color scheme is white and lilac and it is carried out ad mirably all over the store. The design for the millinery department is by Mr. Carl B. Rehder and that for the re mainder of the building by Mr. Clay ton Moore. In the millinery depart ment, aside from the variety of lovely creations in the millinery art, are two pretty boothr, superbly decorated and filled with palms and other flowers from the yards of Mrs. H. Rehder, the florist. A number of striking novelties in straw bows and straw ribbons also add to the effectiveness of the decorations. These cam 9 from the National Florists' As sociation, which met in Asheville in August, and were furnished by Mrs. Rehder. But to come to the display of milli nery itself, one ia overwhelmed with the beauty of it all. Miss Sarah Gard ner, the accomplished milliner, has a greater variety and a greater wealth of styles than ever before. She had a de lightful visit to the fashion centres North in tbe early Autumn and has shown discriminating taste and rare good judgment in the selection of a stock. A few of the many styles are the "Chinese Honeymoon," "Ping Pong Sailors," "Shepherdesr," "Sarah Bernhardt" and the "New Square." The latter is an exquisite square crea tion, with military pom poms. The flat effects and Roman shapes are very much in evidence and are proving quite popular. There was nothing but praise and admiration for the new styles yesterday by the hundreds of ladies who came and went, many of them having been from out of the city. There are also many ready-to-wear hats. The effects this season are gen erally flat and trimmed in birds' wings, tips and plumes. Rehder has every thing in the latest novelties and the most fastidious can be pleased. The ceiling of the millinery depart ment is handsomely covered and en twined about with autumn leaves. The windows also present an attractive ap pearance. In the dress goods, silks and velvet department the display is none the less marked. Mr. Claude Moss is the clever salesman in charge. The col umns in the centre of this spacious apartment are handsomely decorated with crepe paper in handsome designs. On the second floor of the building there is also a pleasing and elaborate display of carpets, rugs and mattings in charge of Mr. Thos. Farrow. The domestics are under the special care of Mr. Robert Bowden, and the clothing department is in charge of Mr. E. Clayton Moore. In tbe latter department is carried a nice line of Vital Brand ready-to-wear suits that are said to equal custom made goods. The manager takes commendable pride n the department and numbers his friends and customers by the score. The gents' furnishing and hat depart ment is ia charge of the clever Mr. Thof. B. Power?, and he has a most fetching display. Mr. Lynn Moore is in charge of the shoe?, and he is mak ing a neat display of the famous Craw- fords for men and women. Mr.' Anson Alligood is in charge of all the retail department as head sales man and Mr. Carl Rehder, the junior member of the firm, has charge of the wholesale department. Mr- W. P. McGloughn travels all this section and s building up a splendid jobbinsr trade. A notice of the opening would .be in complete without a reference to an ex quisite display of roses, carnations and cut flowers, grown by Mrs. Rehder. The display was made at night by Mr. Will Rehder in the dry goods depart ment and it attracted no end of admi ration. Likewise it would be unfair to omit one of the most pleasant features of the climax of the opening last evening the delightful concert by Hollobush's splendid orchestra. During the evening the following programme was skilfully rendered: Overture, "Record Breaker," by Leanord. "Elly Gavotte," by Innes. Sel, "The Stokes," by Chopin. "Inter-mezzo-Pantello," by Loraine. March. "A Georgia Watermelon Party," by Chaup. "Palms," cornet solo, by O. W. Hoi- owbuah. "lylaphone," nolo, by Fred Poufe. Waltz, "Lozane," by Milton. March. "Tale of Bumblebee."
