Three eases in which the defend
ants, all colored, were originally
charged with capital felonies, were
disposed of in the Superior Court yes
terday. One of them for burglary
was given 25 years in the peniten
tiary; another for the same offence
was given 10 years in the penitentiary
and the third, for murder, was given

submitted to the crimes with which
they were charged, in a lesser degree,
and under all the"" circumstances sur
rounding the cases, the ends of jus
tice appear to ha? e been pretty well
met In the manner of their dis
position. J. H. Williams,- colored, charged
with burglarizing the rooms of some
fellow workmen . with whom he
formerly boarded, received the
longest sentence twenty-five years.
Williams entered the house of
the negroes in Thompson's alley,
in "Brooklyn" and stole a num
ber of articles of clothing and
a cheap ring. The case went over
from the Mayor's court and all the
negroes implicated work in the lum
ber mills about Wilmington. It was1
thought that Williams was wanted,
when arrested here, for several crimes
4-committed at his old home near Rose-
boro, Sampson county, but that infor
mation proved incorrect. By appoint
ment of the court, Williams was de
fended by Marsden Bellamy, Jr. Esq.
and O. D. Weeks, Esq.
Orange Jessie, colored, sentenced to
ten years, will go up for a case almost
parallel with that of Williams. He
burglarized a negro house and stole a
lot of clothing, etc., but the charge of
burglary could not be sustained and
Solicitor Duffy consented to a verdict
of housebreaking and larceny.
Walter McKoy received three years
for manslaughter. He is but a strip of
a boy and killed Arthur Swinson last
August at a "Sanctification Band''
church, on corner of Eleventh and
Dawson streets. Swinson said before
bis death that the shooting was acci
dental but there were other circum
stances which led Messrs. Herbert Mc
Clammy and Brooke G. Empie, his
counsel, to consent to a verdict
of manslaughter offered by Solicitor
Duffy. The evidence on both sides of
the case was carefully gone into and
the verdict rendered by instruction of
the court.
In the; civil damage suit of J. O.
Stanley, Admr. of G. F. Brown, de
ceased, against the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Co., judgment according to
a compromise for $250 was entered.
The suit was one for personal Injuries,
alleged to have been caused by the
negligence of the defendant com
pany. Marsden Bellamy, Esq., rep
resented the plaintiff and Rountree &
Carr appeared for defendants.
The court met at 10 o'clock and the
sheriff returned the talesmen sum
moned for the day with the exception of
Morris Bear, Jno. R. Canady, Horace
M. Emerson and Geo. V. Harrell,
who were not found. The following

A CHILD SEVERELY BURNED.
Foot-Year-Old Sob ef Mr. and Mrs. M. C.
Hammond, 414 Orange Street, Badly
Injured Yesterday Evening.
The little four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. M. C. Hammond, who re
cently moved to Wilmington from
Savannah, was very severely burned
last night as the result of the overturn
ing of a lamp in the sitting room of
the family residence, No. 414 Orange
street.
The lamp was on a centre table in
the room and the boy was playing
about on the floor. His mother and
grandmother were in the room with
him at the time but in an unguarded
moment the little fellow ran -against
the table and upset the lamp ln such a
manner that it fell on him. The
mother was frightened almost beyond
her wits, but she managed to
put out the flames that, almost cov
ered the child .'ahoT ran wtihhlm to
the nearest physician's office, where
temporary remedies were applied.
Later the child was taken to the resi
dence of Dr. T. B. Kingsbury, where
a friend of Mrs. Hammond is board
ing, and Dr. W. E. Storm, the family
physician, wan called in. The child
was found to be badly burned on the
right side, leg, chest and face. Dr.
Storm gave the patient all the relief
known to medical science, and at last
accounts the little fellow was doing
very well. The nervous shock re
ceived by the mother put her in a
very serious condition, but she, too, is
thought to be doing very well. Mr.
Hammond was at home nick when the
fire occurred, but he ran down from
his room upstairs and fought the fire
until the department arrived in re
sponse to an alarm from box 48 at
6:10 P.M.
The damage to the building, which
is owned by Mrs.' R. A. Gore, and the
contents will not exceed $25.
THE NICHOLS, S. C, TRAGEDY.
Coroner's Jury Returned Verdict IsdN
csting Suicide by Ssrvls The Girl
Claims Secret Marrisge to Boy.
A few days ago reference was made
in these columns to a double tragedy
enacted at Nichols, S. C, about 65
miles from Wilmington. The mys
tery surrounding the affair Is partially
cleared up in the following special in
yesterday's News and Courier:
Marioit, 8. C, Nov. 26. Dr. J. O.
Mace, coroner, held an inquest Mon
day night over the body of Dustan H.
Sarvis, the young man who is alleged
to have committed suicide at Nichols,
this county, on the afternoon of that
day. The verdict of the coroner's
jury was that the deceased came to
nis ;death from the effects of a pis
te! shot wound, self-inflicted. This
exonerates Miss Josephine Burns
I com the charge of having done the
shootiug.
MJs Burns was present at the in
quest and testified that Sarvis was her
husband, having been secretly married
to her in the town of Mullins on the
night of Sept. 23, the night the Rev.
Sam Jones lectured in that town. It
was understood that the marriage was
to be kept a secret until Christmas, but
in aome way the young lady's family
heard of it and insisted that it be
publicly acknowledged by Sarvis. Mon
day afternoon she went to see Sarvis
at his office in the Atlantic Coast Line
depot, in which Sarvis occupied the
position of telegraph operator to beg
him to acknowledge the marriage. She
told Sarvis ber family were indignant
and would inaiat upon his recognizing
her as his wife. Sfle told him her
brother was determined that the mar
riage must be at once publicly ac
knowledged and that he had armed
himself to enforce his demands. To
show Sarvis how terribly in earnest
her brother was she showed him a
pistol which her brother had recently
procured. This pistol she had taken
out of her brother's trunk to keep him
from using it. She says Sarvis refused
to acknowledge the marriage, but, on
the contrary, told her that the alleged
marriage was a mock one; that the
man who performed the ceremony was
not a magistrate, as he had assured
her, and that there was no legal
marriage between them. The conver
sation continued for some time and,
failing to induce him to acknowledge
her as his wife, she rose to leave.
As she was about to leave Sarvis re
marked to her that she ought not to be
going about with a pistol in her hands,
and asked her to give him the weapon.
This she did, whereupon he fired at
her and then turned the pistol upon
himself shooting himself through the
neck. When shot she reeled a little
distance before falling. This is sub
stantially her account of the affair.
