THE SUPERIOR COURT Chris. Eilers Gets One Year Murderous Assault Upon His Wife. for SUBMITTED TO THE OFFENCE. Beys Not Guilty of Enter lor Third Street Residence, Bnt.Qnilty of Receiving. Qiand Jory to Investigate the Hegro's Harder Notes. Superior Court continued Its session yesterday until 7 o'clock in the even ing. Judge Moore is making an ex cellent presiding officer and his efforts toward clearing the docket of the un usually large number of cases are be ing ably seconded by Solicitor Duffy. With the possible exception of the burglary case and that of the Herring brothers and young Jones, recently charged with murder, all the .matters will likely be cleared from the calen dar by the expiration of the one-week term. All of yesterday morning's ses sion was consumed in completing the trial of the two boys charged with en-, terlng Mr. Herbert Smith's residence, on Third street, last month, and steal ing therefrom a watch and other arti cles of trifling value. Testimony for the defendants was heard yesterday and the balance of the morning hour was taken up with argument by coun sol to the jury Marsden Bellamy and Woodus Helium, Esq., for the de fendants and Solicitor Duffy for the State. The jury retired a little after noon and came in with a verdict dur ing the dinner recess of the court. The verdict was not guilty of larceny, but guilty of receiving the watch, knowing it to have been stolen, the same being valued at $10. Each de fendant was recommended to the mercy of the court on account of his youth. As the defendants were not in court when the verdict was brought io, Judge Moore said he would con tinue judgment until this morning, the defendants meantime remaining under their present bond. The only other cases of Interest In court yesterday were those against Chris. Eilers, who made the murder ous attack on Mrs. Eilers at Carolina Beach about two months ago and then turned his own pistol upon himself in an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. The particulars of the offence are already too familiar to the public. Eilers presented a very dejected ap pearance in the prisoner's box, his confinement telling in a marked degree upon his strong constitution. He was not represented by counsel and pleaded guilty to the aaiault upon bis wife but not guilty of carrying a concealed weapon. Marsden Bellamy, Esq., assisted Solicitor Duffy in the prose cution. The case of carrying con cealed weapons was tried by a jury composed of Messrs. Louis Taylor, J. M. Mayland, B. N. Horn, Z. B. En- nett, C. W. Woolard, Chas. D. Foard, H. W. Konig, Jas. H. Cowan, .L. M. Guttenburg, Geo. Harrlsr, G. W. Mote. S. R. Ellis and M. A. Jones. Only one witness testified Mrs. E. B. Loughlin, a daughter of the cruel father, and from her evidence It was not contradicted that the pistol was se cured by Eilers from a room in the club house where the shooting oc curred. The jury retired with the case before dinner, but in the after noon several members of the panel 'desired to recall Mrs. Loughlin, and that was allowed upon the court's convening in the afternoon. Fifteen minutes later a verdict of not guilty was rendered. Eilers was then called up for judgment in the case of assault, to which he had just submitted, and was sentenced to one year on the coun ty roads. The maximum penalty for the offence charged is two years and the minimum Is a fine or as little r as one day's confinement in jail. In passing sentence upon Eilers, Judge Moore asked the prisoner a number of questions, to which he re plied that he had always lived peace fully with his wife; that upon the occasion of the shooting he was drunk and had no recollection of shooting his wife or attempting to kill himself. Other than Mrs. Loughlin none of Eilers' family was in court during the trial. - Early in the afternoon Joseph Thomas, the negro who shot a colored deck hand on the steamer "Wilmlng ton" Labor Day, pleaded guilty to charges of an assault with a deadly weanon and carrying a concealed weapon. Jndgment was reserved. Roatlne Proceedings: Upon the convening of court yes terday morning, the sheriff returned 21 of the talesmen ordered summoned for the day. O. W. Edens, Geo. Rob inson, J. T. Hawkins, J. A. Huske, A. F. Walsh. B. Kelly and Hosea Shepard were not found, and W. W, Blair. F. H. Griffith and J. E. Morris were excused by the court. The folio wine unimportant cases were disposed of during the day: Louis Lavendar and Ernest Blount, larceny of goods from railroad ; Blount hot guilty; Lavendar guilty and sen tenced to one year on roads. Charles Hanklns, larceny; verdict pulltv: left open for investigation of another case of larceny. Geo. Blount, carrying concealed weapons; verdict guilty; judgment left open for another bill for perjury committed in the trial. Isaiah SIneletarv. assault with . a deadly weapon, and carrying a con cealed weapon ; submitted to latter charge; verdict guilty as to first count; sentenced to four months on roads; judgment suspended in case or carry ing concealed weapons. Kate Fisher, larceny of money from James Gavin; verdict not guilty. Work of The Grand Jury. - The grand jury will probably, com WILMINGTON, N. 0., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER plete its work to-morrow. The usual visit to the county jail and the Court House was made yesterday. This morning the jury will likely begin its investigation of the murder of the ne gro, Sam Carver, Jr., which occurred in front of the Marine Hospital last Saturday night, the Herring brothers and young Jones, of Louisburg.N. C, being in jail charged with implication in the affair. Mr. E. H. Jones, a prominent business man of Louisburg and father of young r Jones, arrived yesterday to look after the interests of his son and is accompanied by his attorney, T. W. BIckett, Esq , a lead ing member of the Louisburg bar. Mr. Jones Is a brother-in-law of Mr. . M. Andrews, the well known fur niture man, and he has another, son who is manager Andrews' furniture store in this city. Those who heard or read the evidence before the coro ner's jury express doubt that the grand jury will return a true bill in the case. However, s hould a true bill be found and the case not be reached at this term, It is probable that habaes corpus proceedings will be instituted in be half of the prisoners. . ..V CUMBERLAND CONVENTION.

THE CAROLINA CLUB. Formal Presentation of Commo dore's Cup to Yacht Puzzle ; Last Evening. MOST PLEASANT OCCASION. Racing Captains and Srews Delightfully Entertained at Home of gapt. S. P. Cowan, Owner of the Defender "Sadie" The Tropby. Fifty or more enthusiastic members of the Carolina Yacht Club, compris ing the captains and crews of the racing fleet and Commodore John K. Williams of that popular organization gathered last evening at the hospitable borne of their genial ex Commodore. Capt : S. P. Cowan,' northeast corner of Third and Nun ' streets, and cele brated most auspiciously the formal presentsttlon to the yacht "Puzzle" of the handsome commodore's cup, estab lished by Commodore Cowan in 1902 and successfully defended by his smart and trim little yacht "Sadie" for three 8uccssslve seasons. The reception and dining rooms of the home were moat artistically decorated for the occasion in the club colors of red and white, a sort light from red and blue incande scent contributing wonderfully to the charm of the scene. Club flags and emblems were tastefully arranged to still further give striking effect to the general scheme. The guests after having been re ceived were ushered into the dining room, where the presentation took place. In behalf of Commodore Cowan, Thomas W. Davis, Esq., ex plained the object of the assembly and in graceful language presented the handsome cup to the Regatta Commit tee of tbeOlub. The trophy was re ceived in a most pleasing speech by Capt. Wm. F. Robertson, who paid a desecved compliment to the donor and the Defender "Sadie" and gave a brief history of yachting here and else where, referriog to the great inter national event, gprovokine applause by a commendatory reference to Sir Thomas Lipton. Capt -Robertson charmed his hearers with his ad- dress which, neous, was thotfgh extempora- really eloquent and captivating. He gracefully present to Capt. Jno. VanB. ed the cup Metts, joint owner with his brother, Capt. E. A. Metts, in the "Puzzle," which won the cup this season J Capt. Metts responded in appreciative terms to Capt. Robertson for his complimen tary reference and to Commodore Cowan for the loyal spirit ever man! tested by him in the.'club's yachting, so nobly exemplified in the. founding of the cup just delivered. As that feature of the evening's en tertainment was about to be conclud ed, Mr. R. O. Cantwell begged atten tlon for a moment while he addressed the Captains Metts, stating that only a short time previously and too late to prepare a speech to fit the emergency, he had been unexpectedly requested by an unknown friend to present to the Messrs. Metts a "puzzle," which he was led to believe was a Chinese one from the color and characters In scribed thereon. So saying he handed to Capt. Metts a pretty yellow silk club flag upon which had been neatly painted a number of Chinese let ters. With the admonition to solve the puzzle, Mr, Cantwell committed the flag to the keeping of the winners. Capt. Metts responded to the humor ous remarks of Mr. uantweii in an equally happy vein and the party turned to an unsuccessful effort to as sist the captains In the task assigned to them by way of solution of the pro blem so suddenly thrust upon them. Exercises-over, the genial host bade the guests to partake of a delicious re past before them, consisting of wine and cake, ice cream, fruits and other delicacies, the refreshments as far as possible being served, in club colors wlth!a compliment to the "Puzzle" In the form of cake bearing the name of the successful yacht in letters of red. Upon the wall at the head of the table In graceful folds over a double picture of the winners of the cup, deco rated with miniature club colors, was the companionship flag, also won this season by the "Puzzle." At the foot of the table, over the mantel, was the "Sadie's" flag bearing in let ters of red a record of her victories. The affair in its entirety was most de lightf ul and every one present silently voted Commodore Cowan an excellent host and a yachtsman whose affability is exceeded only by his enthusiasm in the cause. The cup presented last night is a very handsome one and is beautifully engraved. On the front, with back' ground, is an excellent Inscription of the club name, emblem and the words "Presented by S. P. Cowan, 1902." On either side of the cup is inscribed the names of the captain and crew of the cup defender and those of the"Puzzle." Tne'crews areas follows: "Sadie," Capt. S. P. Cowan, R. O. DeRosset, O. a Grainger, W. D. McMillan, Jr., F. A. Lord and A. P. Adrian. "Puz zle," Capt. E. A. Melts, John VanB. Metts, W. O. Lord and J. E. Grant The cup also bears the names of the members of the Carolina Yacht Club Regatta Committee Messrs. Wm. F. Robertson, George David and B. H. Bridgers. . At intervals last night the club members in attendance were entertain ed by several selections by the "Sadie Quartette," an impromptu organi zation, which afforded excellent mu sic, concluding with the spirited singing of Carolina."

John Robinson's mammoth Tented Eater prise Here Next Wednesday. John Robinson, the pioneer show man of the country, begins his eight ieth year of successful circus history this year. After months of strenuous work by scores of skilled artists, these mammoth shows will be seen in all their glory, a credit to the master showman's mind. To enumerate all the many new and extraordinary features this old institu tion will offer during the coming season would tire the reader, but one European card, after a year's negotia tion, has been secured, that for hair raising deviltry and skill will never be forgotten by the auditor. all the now famous "loop" proposi tion pale Into insignificance when com pared with this, the latest cycling, the perpendicular loop act, which .Is ac complished by a skilled performer, who during the act is actually balanced on the shoulders, the entire apparatus, man and machine, by an intrepid equilibrist whose sole ability and skill keeps the ponderous plant in midair while the performer is moving the circle with the rapidity of lightning. It required seventeen months to perfect this act, and will be seen for the first time here with the Robinson Bbows. The street car service will be of such ample proportions as to enable every one to reach the show grounds, see all the wonderous programme and reach home at a civilized hour. It would be advisable, on account of the enormous crowds, to bring the children to the afternoon shows, where the menagerie and circus can be seen with comfort, and such a plan is sug gested.
