' The United States District and Cir cuit courts have practically completed the work of the adjourned term in Wilmington this week: and Judge Purnell has gone to join members of his family, who are spending some time at Wrightsville Beach. The District Court convened as usual yesterday morning, but the only busi ness transacted was the appointment by Judge Purnell of Robert O. Law rence, Esq., of the legal firm of Me- Intyre & Lawrence, of Lumberton, a United States Commissioner for the Eastern District, to succeed the late E, K. Proctor, of the same town. In the Circuit Court the hearing of the damage suit brought by Dr. Thos. 8. Burbank against the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co. for the al leged unlawful removal of a 'phone from his residence in this city Aug. 6tb, 1900, was completed. Dr. Bur- bank was represented at the hearing by ex-Judge E. K. Bryan and the amount of damages asked was $5,000 punitive and $50 actual. Messrs. Davis St Davis appeared for the defendants. having secured the removal of the suit from the State court at the January, 1903, term at Wilmington. Upon the close of the ' plaintiff's testimony, the court having intimated its opinion that the plaintiff could not recover punitive damages in the action, but only actual damages, the plaintiff thereupon submitted to a non-suit. It was ordered by the1 court that the defendant go without day and recover its costs of the plaintiff and hla sureties to the prosecution, to be taxed by the clerk. Witnesses examined were Dr. Bur- bank, in his own' behalf, Messrs. N. B. Rankin, Jos. E. Lippittand George Harriss, for the plaintiff; Manager T. S. McManus and Messrs. Schulken, Bragg, Ernest and Willie ;Peschau for the defence. Lewis A. Kennedy, of Sampson county,- who .became ill during the trial, was excused, both sides having consented to go on with .eleven jurors. It is learned that an other suit will be probably brought by Dr. Burbank with an amended com plaint, specifying the punitive damages claimed. IMPROVEMENTS TO CITY CLOSE, Tlmc-Plcce in First Presbyterian Church Tower How la Tfeeroa(h Order. Repairs to the city clock In the tower .of the First Presbyterian church have been completed by Mr. G. O. Simmons, the contractor, and yesterday a number of city officials and others, including Chairman Has? hagen, of the former city finance com mittee, were invited by Mr. Simmons to visit the church and see the im provements, which they did. The clock was placed in the tower some years ago by private citizens in the neighborhood, who subscribed $700 for the same. For a number of years it has been badly In need of repairs, and the city authorities a few months ago took the matter up and made an appropriation to put It In order, the contract having been let by Chairman Hashagen, of the. finance committee, to Mr. Simmons. The entire machinery has been over hauled, the tower carpeted and lined with white cloth to prevent dust and dampness from entering. A five-foot sectional dial has been placed on the four aides of the tower and 16 electric lights placed on the Interior for the purpose of illuminating the faces. The improvement is welcomed by the community at large, and especially by residents in the neighborhood. Mr. McDoofill Resting Easily, Mr. J. H.

Rockwell, Implicated in Most Atro cious Crime, Are In Jail at Whltevllle Excitement ..... H. B. Register and son, Jabel Reg. later, the white men of Columbus county, implicated by confession. of Cross Edmondson in the horrible murder,- on the night of March 29 tb, of Jessie Soles, white, and Jim Stsley, colored, in their home ten miles from Whltevllle, in the same county, are now languishing behind prison bars In Columbus jsil, and their captors, Messrs. E. H. Cook and William Hall, and a third man named Register, are laying claim to a reward of $200 each for the prisoners, offered by Governor Aycock, and a supplemental reward offered by the county in which the crime occurred. The elder Register was captured Tuesday of this .week, and yesterday morning the son was captured by the same men at his father's home at Vlneland, a short distance from Whltevllle. Later in the day, R. A. Rockwell, son-in-law of H. B. Register, was also arrested aind placed in jail for harboring Jabe1, the charge being accessory after the fact. Donald McRackan, Esq., of Whltevllle, and probably two Wil mington attorneys have been retained aa counsel for the men. The elder Register was- given pre liminary trial before S. B.

The men were murdered and robbed and the house burned down on their bodies. Edmondson say a in hia confession that on Saturday before the killing he met Jabel Register at Du vall'a atables and he told him his (Register's) father wanted to see him at the house. . Register's father, EL B. Register, told Edmondson he had a scheme to make money easy and wanted help; the way to get the money was to rob 8taley who had at least $1,000. Register said "kill him if he flickers; he's only a nigger and the people want 'to get rid of him any way." Edmondson said he got H. B. Register's gun ; Jabel took his and they all went down in the vicinity of Soles' house; laid around until Suns day night when they went up to the house and Jabel shot them through the window and went in the house. Edmondson said he did not know Jabel had set the house on fire until they hsd gone some distance, after the robbery. Gave a Birthday Party.
