YESTERDAY'S COURT.
Case Involving Northrop-Gore
Difficulty Now Being Heard
By Judge Bryan.
THREE CAPITAL OFFENCES.
Grand Jury Returns True Bills Arsinst
Ed French and Walter Ellis for
Murder and Oranxe Jessie for
Birrjary Proceedings.
The Superior Court waa engaged
practically all day yesterday In a trial
or the case of the State against
Messrs Robart H. and W. H. North
rop, Jr., for assault and battery upon
Mr. John H. Gore, jja. f ew months
ago. By reason of the prominence of
the parties interested and the fact that
the defendants were arrested upon a
bench warrant at the last term of tha
court ior tne trial or criminal cases,
the hearing is attracting much attep
tion and is being hard fought by the
attorneys on both sides. Solicitor
Duffy is assisted in conducting the
prosecution by Robert Ruark and H
Li Stevenr, Esqs., while Messrs. Bel
lamy & Bellamy and ex-Judge E. K
Bryan appear for the Messrs. North
rop.
The case was begun at 11 o'clock
yesterday morning and at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon all the evidence was in
The argument by counsel and the
charge by Judge Bryan will likely
consume this morning's session of the
court, and the case will probably not
reach the jury until this afternoon.
The State first introduced Mr. Jno.
H. Gore. Jr.. as a witness in the
morning and rested. The defence then
introduced Mr. B. F. King, Dr. D. W.
Bulluck, Messrs. W. H. Northrop.Jr.,
Samuel Northrop, Theodore B. Kings
bury, Jr., Matt Myers and Warren H.
Johnson. Mr. Bamuel Northrop was
recalled for the defence, and the case
was rested. The State next introduced
Messrs. George Sloan and Fred Banck,
and the testimony for both aides was
then closed and court took a recess
until 10 A. M. to-day.
The case upon which the defendants
are now on trial is assault and battery
and they each aubmit to the charge,
but the evidence is being heard to as
certain if there was an element of
conspiracy to commit the offence.
The defence pleaded a former convic
tion in connection with the submission.
The court convened yesterday morn
ing at 10 A. M., and the Sheriff re
turned the jurors summoned for the
day with the exception of L. S. Butler,
L. A. Weeden, J. S Sellers, J. H.
Mallard and A. H. Holmes, who were
not found. The following were ex
cused: E. H. Sneed, D. J. Fergus,
8. P. McNair, Vance Norwood, P. F.
Duffy, W. O. Page and Wm. Good
man. The following cases were dis
posed of before the Northrop case was
taken up:
Richard Plummer, judgment strick
en out and case conunuea to next
term.
Laura Cooper, larceny; verdict
guilty ; four montha In jail with leave
to hire out
Susan Ann McKoy, larceny; judg
ment same as above.
In the afternoon the grand jury
came Into court aa a body and return
ed true billain the following capital
cases: urange Jessie, ourgiary; wai
ter Ellis, murder, and Ed. French,
murder. All the defendants are col
ored. Jessie broke into the house of
another negro in Chad bourn's alley last
July and stole a small amount of
money. The two negroes charged
with murderi admit the killing and
appear to have pretty strong evidence
that it was accidental. Ellis shot a
companion at a church in the northern
section of the city several months ago
and French about 10 daya ago shot a
negro named Armstrong, back of
Wilson's cart house, in "Brooklyn."
The following talesmen are sum
moned for to-day: Martin A. Shields,

CAPT. V. V. RICHARDSON DEAD.
Leading eitizeo of His County and State
Passed Away, at Wbltevllle Yester
day Loss to the Commnnity.
Capt. V. V. Richardson, one of the
most influential men in this section
and a leading citizen of Columbus
county, died yesterday morning at
8:30 o'clock at his home in Whiteville,
N. C, sged about 63 years. Capt
Richardson suffered a stroke of paraly
sis about three years ago and not long
since while attempting to walk about
the house in his feeble condition he
fell and broke his hip. A short time
before, he suffered a second stroke of
paralysis, but until the night before
his death he had been steadily gaining
m strength and friends hoped for his
ultimate partial recovery. He was a
staunch Democrat and enthusiastic in
all matters pertaining to hia country.
On Wednesday he was on the streets
of Whiteville in his rolling chair, re
joicing in the Democratic victory.
Either the excitement or other causes
had a bad effect upon his constitution
and at night he became worse. The
change for the worse in hia condition
was discovered by Mrs. Richardson
when ahe noticed that her husband did
not arise at midnight to take bis medi
cine as usual. He had relapsed into
unconsciousness and never rallied
until death ended hia suffering in the
early morn.
Capt. Richardson waa much loved
and esteemed by the people of his
county. For eight years he was chosen
by them for sheriff almost unanimous-
y; for three or four terms he repre
sented them in the General Assembly
and once came within a few votes of
being elected Speaker of the House.
At the Magnolia Convention in 1874,
without bis being a candidate, he made
a close run for the Congressional
nomination and at the time of his
death he was a director of Jhe State
Deaf and Dumb Institution. He waa
also a U. S. Marshal for the Eastern
District during President Cleveland's
first administration.
Capt Richardson married niss
Amanda Smith, a daughter of the late
Alfred Smith, of Whiteville, and ahe
with three daughters and three sons,
all grown, survive him. They are
Messrs. Clarence, A. 8., and Don.
Richardson and Misses Maude, Etta
and Bessie Richardson. To the be
reaved family the sympathy of the
entire community ia extended.
Capt. Richardson was a brave Con
federate aoldier and was in command
of one of the crack companiea in his
regiment. He was wounded and re
turning to his home, he was made
aheriff of his county. There were few
better or purer men in the State than
Capt. Richardson aud his death la a
distinctive ion.

THB CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Rerular Monthly Meetiar Yesterday After
noon Reports From the Executive
Board Earlier Mall Wanted.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held yes
terday afternoon, President Chad bourn
presiding and Secretary Kyle at bis
desk.
The Executive Board made a very
complete report of the finances of the
Chamber, covering the first and sec
ond quarters of the current fiscal year.
It was shown that the Exchange is
now operating on 82 per cent, of Its
income. President Chadbourn, in
making the report for the Executive
Council, read a letter addressed to him
by Secretary Kyle as follows:
"Dbab Sib : Complying with your
instructions that I make you a brief
report of the Executive Committee
records for the first ana second quar
ters, I beg to state that our records
show that 23 regular and special meet
ings have been held, 511 letters writ
ten, and 15 subjects of importance dis
cussed and acted upon.
"The president has always visited
the Chamber once daily, and usually
twice, except during "his absence
North, and in this interval the vice
president gave the affairs of the
Chamber the same attention as the
president would have done had he
been here. The Executive Committee,
except when out of tows, have been
very regular in their attendance of
all meetings; in fact, the activity and
interest displayed by the entire Ex-
ecu Uve Board is remarkable. The
operations are too important to admit
of a full report without ample time to
prepare same."
A communication was read from
Col. W. L. DeRosset, secretary and
treasurer of the Navassa Guano Co.,
asking the Chamber to take some ac
tion in reference to an earlier mail
from the North. There waa a general
discussion of trains, schedules, etc.,
and finallv the Transportation uom-
mittee of the Chamber, consisting of
Messrs. J. A. Taylor (chairman;, J.
W. Worth and R. A. Parsley, was re
quested to visit General Manager
Kenly, of the Atlantic' Coast Line,
and make an effort to get an early
train from the North, arriving at Wil
mington not later than 8:30 A. M.
Mr. W. E. Worth asked that aome
action be taken looking to the im
provement or the Bell Telephone ser
vice in the city. A long discussion
followed, and after it was explained
that a committee from the Chamber
had already had a conference with
District Superintendent Spier, it was
decided to let the matter drop until
the underground system Is insti
tuted. Messrs. G. J. Boney (chairman), W.
P. Oldham, W. B. Cooper, W. W.
Blair, F. W. Foster, P. Q. Moore and
J. H. Brown, composing the commit
tee on Public Utilities, was instructed
to use their efforts before the Board of
Aldermen to get an improvement of
the streets and also lower the sewer
pipes which empty Into the city docks.
BREAKS ALL REC0BDS
That Stereotyped Gauge of Fair
Crowds Aptly Applies to
the Pythian Carnival.
MONT PELEE POSTPONED.
Accident and Rain Prevented Orand Pyro
technic Display on the River Front
Comes Off To-Ni.bt Better
Weather Is Looked For.
Ill luck seems to have pursued the
Carnival management yesterday. Ear
ly in the day, with the streets thronged
l with out-of-town people, rain began to
fall and the outlook was gloomy. In
I the. early afternoon the jesjbright-.
ened, however, and just as the crowd
was beginning to grow - enthusiastic
once more, news came that the crown
ing feature of the day, the Mont Pelee
eruption at 8 P. M. on the water front,
would have to bs postponed until the
following night. During a sudden
squall on the river the scenic part of
the eruption, which had been con
structed on three barges, was blown
into the river. Seven carpenters were
rushed to the scene at once to repair
the damage in time for the display to
come off as advertised, but it was seen
that it was a physical impossibility to
get everything in readiness and the
Executive Committee early in the day
officially announced the postponement
until the same hour to-night.
Another disappointment came with
the announcement that Chet Baldwin,
the balloonist, would be unable to
make the ascension and parachute
leap at 5 P. M. as scheduled. He is
still couQ .td o his hotel with two
physicians in attendance upon him.
He regreti much the disappointment
aad forfeits by his faMure to appear as
advertised, but sickness is something
that must be taken into account upon
all occasions and no one can be
blamed.
The crowds thronged the midway
yesterday and last evening, despite
the lowering clouds, and it was not
until a heavy downpour of rain at 10
o'clock at night that the merry
makers would desist from the festivi
ties of the occasion and seek shelter.
The crowds were larger than were
ever seen in Wilmington before. The
various attractions were well patron
ized and everybody had a good time.
There were few arrests and the throngs
of people were good natured and on
pleasure bent, pure and simple. Sev
eral wholesale and retail merchants
remarked during the day that , the
Carnival with its splendid attraction
for out-of-town people this time had
been a wonderful help to their busi
ness. Every hotel and boarding
house is chock-a-block and the people
yesterday "just kept a-comin.'" The
same will be the case to-day as the
low rates will obtain on all rail
roads.
According to Observer Felger, we
are to have excellent weather for the
Carnival to-day, and the eruption of
Mont Pelee should draw the record
smashing crowd of the fair. The
weather forecast is: "Fair and cooler
Friday; Saturday, fair. Fresh north
to northwest winds." Nothing better
could be asked of the weather dis
penser.
It was quite popular on the midway
last night to be disguised with a false
moustache, a red nose and other face
'improvements" sold by an indus
trious fakir on Market street Some
of the "get-ups" were fierce and one
could not recognize his next best
friend.
Confetti continues to be popular.
but the man with the vile smelling
cologne atomizer got in his work last
night. Many of them were sold.
Another popular means of torture last
night was a squeaky mouthpiece,
which might aptly be called a "baz-
zoo," for want of a better name. They
made all kinds of hideous noises and
were second only to the tin "contrap-
sion," through which a string was
drawn with a noise sufficient to make
one crawl all over himself. They
were simply fierce. The ever-popular
tickler and the cane dressed in Na
tional colors with sufficient length to
tip your hat off when you least ex
pected it were also in evidence. If the
weather is fair and the Carnival keeps
up two days longer, it will be interest
ing to see what forms of torture the
ingenuity of man will invent But it
all goes to make up a well regulated
Carnival and we're bound to have it.
Thanks From Parade Committee.
Editor Stab Permit me to express
to the various organizations that par
ticipated in the recent Carnival pa
rade the committee's profoundest ap
preciation and thanks.
The gratifying success achieved
could not have been accomplished
without their co-operation, hence to
them must be accorded the success of
the mostlmsgnificent Carnival parade
ever held in our State. Respectfully1
