Mr. Wedenfeller had been a guest at the hotel for about ten days. .. .Friday night he came In rather late, asked for his key and retired to his room as usual. Yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock a porter Waited upon the travelling man and found him in ap parently the best of health. He said he didn't eare to get up for breakfast but made no complaint. ' His non-appearance at dinner oc casioned no alarm aa he frequently took the mid-day meal elsewhere. Yesterdsy evening, however, a poster waai-ap to eaU the guests for supper. Receiving no response from Mr. Wed enfeller's room, he opened the door and went in. To his astonishment the man was found In a natural, easy, re clining position but cold in death. Mr. R. W.Wallace, proprietor of the hotel and efilef clerk Baxter were at once notified and after a hasty investigation Dr. O. D. Bell, the county coroner, was notified. Dr. Bell deemed an in quest unnecessary and pronounced the cause of death acute gastritis. : ' The remains were removed to Under taker J. F. Woolvin's establishment and prepared for shipment to-day to Mr. Wedenfeller's home at Charlotte, where he has a wife and several chil dren, who were communicated .with soon after the death' by long distance telephone. : Mr. Wedenfeller had travelled this territory for a long time and was pop ular in Wilmington. He always made The Orton headquarters while here and every attention was given him there. He was about 88 years of age and was formerly manager of the Au gusta Brewing Company's agency at Charlotte. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church and last night the news was broken to the stricken family by telephone by Father Dennen, of Wilmington, through Father Fran cis, of Charlotte. He was a man of genial disposition and was much liked all over the State. His untimely end will bring : sorrow to hundreds of friends.

SEVERAL DAMAGE SUITS. Hntaff Arslnst Swerse Company Amos the First for Hearlsr Others Dor- Isj thcWeek-Jorors : Ssm - mooed for the Term. The . New Hanover Superior Court for the trial of civil cases will convene to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock and will continue in session for two weeks, Judge Boot. B. Peebles , presiding. There are 87 cases on the trial docket for the term, 131 on the summons docket and 13 on the motion docket. Every day of the two weeks term will be occupied .and it Is likely that there may be a number of continuances for the reason that they will not be reached in the stress of other business. The first case on the docket is one brought by the Atlantic Coast Line against Col. A. H. Sloeomb for pos session of the premises upon which the cooperage works at Nutt and Brunswick streets were formerly lo cated. It Is hardly expected that there will be much of a controversy over the matter now, as the cooperage works have sfiready been removed. The second case for. trial Mon day will be a damage suit for a large amount brought by George H. Hutaff against the Wilmington Sewer age Co. Mr. Hutan! fell into an ex cavation madeby the defendant com pany in the remote northeastern sec tion of the city some time ago and re ceived t bodily injuries', which are re garded as permanent. His attorneys are Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy, Rus sell & Gore and Herbert McClammy. The sewerage company is represented by ex-Judge E. K. Bryan. No cases of importance are set for trislon Tuesday of the- first week, save that of T. G. Williams, adminis trator, against the Inter-State Tele phone Company. A little child of Mr. Williams was recently killed by a stroke of lightning in East Wilming ton and it is alleged that an unused wire of the company suspended in the yard of the residence of the child's parents attracted the electricity to the spot. ; The plaintiff also asks damages in a large amount The attorneys for the plaintiff are Messrs. Russell & Gore and Means dC Ruark, while the defendant's intefest will be looked after by Messrs.- Rountree & Carr, E. K. Bryan and Bellamy & Bellamy. -The only other case of interest dur ing the first week of the term Is the damage suit of Graham Murray against Dr. C. T. Harper and the City of Wilmington, In which the plaintiff sues for alleged negligence in the re moval of sick child of his, which re moval waa deemed expedient In ob serving the health regulations of the municipality. The ease is set for Sat urday. On Monday of the second week the big damage suit of "Penny against the railroad" will be tried. The par ticulars of the ease are well known to readers of the city papers.' : The jury summoned for the first week of. the term Is eompossed as fol lows: George H. Hudson, Joseph H. Curtis, John Simon, C. S. Biggs, T. P. Tyler, R. A. Culpepper, W. M. Gumming, D. B. Sellara, Thoa. M. Emerson, W. B. Cooper, Jno. O. Shepard, W. C King, W, & Bunting, A. A. Moffitt, Henry K.

Three of the number, Alexan der Nelms, Irwin Johnson and Albert Perry, are boys and left last night in charge of a petit officer for the navy training school at Newport, R.

Following closely upon the heels of the , Booker Washington incident at the White House which was a prolific source of denunciation locally and generally,' now comes the story of a bI-colored reception" given there by President Roosevelt night before last The story which is authentic in mark ed degree was slow in finding its way into print but it crept in just the same. The i Washington ' correspondent - of yesterday's Charlotte Observer in s column and a half report of the , "func tion" says among other things : "When the story became known tc day. it was on everybody's tongue. The occasion was the judicial recep tion, one of the four big annual social functions that is given at the White House during the session, and among the 1,500 Invited guests were half dozen or more negroe,- twoor tbree of thr number being women. -Scores of Southerners were there and many of these took umbrage when they realized the social equality feature of the affair, and left one . soutnern Congressman was accompanied by a bridal couple whom he expected to in troduce to the chief executive, but when the party saw the colored people they left immediately without shaking band with the President Represen tative Small said he saw a. number of people hasten from the building and admitted that be did not himself tarry very long. One of the colored men who were present, according to' several who attended the re ception, -was JohnO. Dancy, the col ored recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Another was Judson Lyons, register of the Treasury. It is generally understood that the colored women present were members of the family of Recorder Dancy. but this could not ba positively confirmed. Senator Uarmsck. of Tennessee, de clined to give an interview upon the affair, for the reason, he said, that if he told just what he thought the paper would be excluded from the mails. The Tennessee Senator authorized the publication of his reason fpr declining to be quoted. Senator Tillman said: "The thing that bothers me most is the fact that my name was printed this morning as among the guests present. I have not been to the Wnlte House this Winter. and do not expect to go while the pres ent occupant resides thsre. I do not blame any southern white man or wo man for leaving the building last nichtforl think it is the first time such social-equality has ever been at tempted at the White House. Bat then this is a strenuous age and we must be prepared for accidents. I sup- posennose negroes who 'attended the reception might be likened to .flies in pan of milk. Northern men may like the milk but Southern men will refuse it"- - Several Republican Senators sav the President made a mistake and some are inclined to the opinion that tne incidents of last night's reception will be far-reachine in their nolitical effect aa regards the Republican party. Secretary Oortelyou apparently feared ast nsgnt that his ehlef had blunder ed, for it is related that when the peo ple began to ask about the identity of the President's colored guests he Barried the question by saying he be eved the Haytian minister and some members of his family were present PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
