N " EUers to be Tried. ; i :t
There are ninety-two. cases on the
criminal docket of the term; of the
Superior Court which - convenes JtchS
morrow morning, and the term is only
for one week. The chances are that
number of these cases will not be
called, although each ' and every one
may be, as there will, no doubt, be
many submissions, and some of the.
cases are simply for "cost.nThenf
too, there are no cases of great mpj
ment Probahly the meat interestlnc:
cases are the ones against' two white
men, Christopher v Ellers . and I Joe
8 wain one a young white man and
the other an old one. , The Ellers case
is well known to the public and the
defendant is now in . jalj. He Is
charged with attempting to kill his
wife t Carolina Beach. Joe Swain is
charged with highway robbery, which
it Is alleged, was committed some time
ago. At the time a warrant was sworn
out for Swain.s arrest,' but the b!rd
had flown. He was captured a abort
time ago in this city, while he was
here on an excursion trip. ?
The large- criminal docket makes
the hearing of civil matters at this
term an impossibility, so, no calendar
was made up. Civil salts will have to
wait until the next term, which will
be for two weeks and which will con
vene Monday, October 17th.
This term of court will be presided
over by Judge Fred Moore, of Ashe
vllle, who returns here for the. first
time In many months. Last week he
held court in Klnston and from there
he and Solicitor Rodolph Duffy come
to this court Judge Moore Is an able
jurist anda clever, courteous gentle
man. He has presided at a number of
well known criminal cases, notable
among which was the trial of the Reg
isters at Whlteville. ,

court are as follows:

v The capacity of the big tents are al

more apace of mind it would be best
to allow the children to bring them
to the afternoon exhibitions,, where
the new menagerie can be seen to a
muett batter advantage afia more timer
given to absorb tne descriptive knowl
edge so pleasantly unfolded by the
gentlemanly lecturers.
The white city Is a beautiful picture

given a bath in a large pond near the
grounds.'"'- : -, .-
Every one will -see the vast im
provement and enlargement of this,
the oldest arid reputed to be beat of
all the large tented aggregations.
Each department is so completely
filled with foreign and American feat
ures as Is capable of being transported
and handled in a satisfactory manner.
The new menagerie Is a vast collec

marvelous wonders. .
New cages, rolling stock equipment,
all bright In gold and sliver, will be

artisans. ' -
Many new and novel acts will attract
attention In the big tent, where hun
dreds of skilled performers will vie in
friendiy contests for supremacy.
The children will be delighted with
the miniature menagerie, with boy
trainers, drivers and care takers.
The entire institution is so complete
in its immensity Only a generalization
can be mentioned herewith.
Nor has the cireus department been
neglected, for more special feature

OHSLOW COUNTY SVED.
About a year ago Onslow county
undertook to repudiate tbe 110,000 In
bonds issued by that county In aid of
the construction of the Wilmington,
Onslow and East Carolina Railroad,
now the Wilmington & Newborn
branch of the Atlantic Coaat Line, ex
tending from Wilmington to Newborn.
This step was taken by the County
Commissioners of Onslow in a suit in
which they enjoined the County Treas
urer from, paying the Interest coupons
on tbe bonds. ' .' .
This action of the Commissioners
promises to Involve the county In no
end of litigation. Yesterday, Messrs.
Rountree & Carr, of this city, solicitors
for D. H.-Talman, of Chicago, III,
filed complaint in an action, against
the Commissioners, and E. W. Som
merill, County Treasurer of Onslow,
to compel them as representatives
of the county to pay the interest due
on bonds held by Mr, Talman.
The case will' come up-x in
the United States Circuit Court,
and probably United States Circuit
Judge Jeter G. Prltchard will be here
to hear It The complaint sets out
that D. H. Talman is a broker and
dealer in municipal securities, and
that he bought In the open market a
large amount of the bonds abovej al
luded to. It Is also stated that the
matter In dispute exceeds, exclusive
of the interests and costs, $3,000, the
suit being brought for the recovery
from respondents of the sum)of 12,040
and interest, and to enjoin the respon
dents from paying put or in any m an
ner interfering with a sum of money,
about $2,000, held by County Treasu
rer Summersill and which amount Is
due the holders, of interest coupons on
bonds, the $3,040 sued for by Mr. Tal
man being an obligation of Onslow
county due to be paid out of said
funds In the hands of the county
treasurer.
The complaint alleges that the Gen
eral Assembly of North Carolina, by
a vote ratified March 5, 1885, chartered
the Wilmington, Onslow and East
Carolina Railroad Company, and au
thorized the county of Onslow to vote
upon the question of issuing $60,000
la bonds to the capital stock of said
company; that such election was held
and a majority voted in favor of the
bond iatue ; that a suit had to be
brought by the railroad company to
compel the issue of the bonds, and as
a result of the compromise the rail
road company surrendered Its claim to
$20,000 of bonds, and thereupon the
county of Onalow issued $40,000 In
bonds in accordance with the compro
mise. It Is alleged that for seven
or eight years, up to January 1st,
1904. the Interest Coupons being due
on the 1st of every January,
the Interest on said $40,000 of bonds
was promptly and regularly paid. The
complaint furthermore states as a mat
ter of fact that although the $2,400 In
the hands of the eounty treasurer was
collected Xf rem the 2 taxpayers of the
county to pay Interest on the bonds,
the commissioners and eounty treas
urer refuse to psy Interest on. the
complaint and other ; stockholders
their interest coupons. H is alleged in
the complaint the county treasurer re
fuses to pay the complainant the said
$2,040, because the eommlsioners in an
action in the Superior Court of Ons:
law eountv ' enloined him from; mak
ing auch payment The statement is
made that the commissioners took that
action on the ground that the Act Of
