Although campaign days are yet a great way-7-off and one hesitates to even think or talk of long-distance politics during the heated perfodfthere is no doubt but that there has been going on for several days a close al- lignment of forces on at least a part of the county ticket for election in November, 1906. In this respect New Hanover is imitating eGorgia, which already has a warm campaign with stump speakings and barbecues on the list for the gubernatorial elec tion on the same date, and South Carolina is not far behind with its alignments for the same occasion.' The talk here has been accentuated by the postive announcement of Sheriff Frank H- Stedman . that he will not stand for re-election and already a number of persons have been suggest ed as likely to be his successor. . It is known that Capt. Wm. P. Robert son, of the . Board of - County Com missioners, Capt. R. O. Grant and pos sibly CoL T. C.

It is probable that the hearing of the evidence" will be completed s by s. this. - evening, .though tae e testimonyV which Is livery. tedions,"ls yet to come. . Then there will be argument to- the court tby counsel, and the Inspectors will con fer for the purpose of attaching. the responsibility. A decision ; will .prob ably be not forthcoming for a day or two.- c'- . 'r -.;t gb-Sl-zt- The first testimony in behalf of the Sea Gate was heard yesterday. : Capt M.' T. Craig, master of the boat, was the principal witness. Mr. Louis H: Skinner was the first witness of the day, his previous evidence having been lost by the incomplete stenogra phic report at the former hearing, and Capt": Craig having immediately fol lowed him. . -The;-, burden of Capt Craig's testimony was that he was crowded to, the westward of the chan nel, "sucked bottom" and when forced to shut down his -engine,, the suction of the Wilmington swung him into the latter. He said he was not racing with, th j Wilmington' and was in no condition .to race. His port engine was slightly disabled and one of the trail ers was slightly leaking. His shaft was also bent and he had no idea of entering a race with the Wilmington in that condition. All members ot his crewi were at their oosts and he did everything posslblesto avert the col lision even shutting off his engines as a last resort. ' - . In the afternoon Dr. Wright Hall, a passenger on the Wilmington, -was ex amined in behalf of Capt. Harper. He was. not 1 acquainted with the river, knew nothing of navigation and his testimony was not Important Capt Jeff Smith, engineer on the Wilmington, was the next witness. He had been a marine engineer for 35 years and was in the engine room when the collision occurred, though he said the shock was so light, he hardly knew that anything had hap pened. His steam guage .showed that he had only between 110 and 112 pounds Of steam whereas he ordinar- Hiitsa umv . nB ,"JotheM .Dn the boat that lv liart hlowtr not driving the steamer as hard as helr generally did . and knew nothing of any race that was going on. 'When examined by counsel for Capt Har per, he said that If a boat In the suc tion of another and running parallel with another shut down both of her engines, the effect would be that she would be swung Into the other ves sel. The suction of a steamer was greatest from the stern and about midships. Cross examined as to why he remembered the reading of the steam gauge at the particular time of the collision, he said that his fires were low when he left the pier and being late on the trip to - town, he naturally looked after getting up steam; besides, there was not five minutes aJT any time he was in an en gine room that he didn't take a look at his steam guage At the time of the collision he said , his throttle was only about two-thirds open. Before or after the collision, he never slowed up his boat, but kept on as usual to town as far - as his steam pressure would admit In response to an in quiry from the court Capt Smith said his fires were low at the pier because it was the custom there not to have the steam popping off. Then on the way down to the pier from Wilming ton the same afternoon he had driven the boat pretty hard because she was about 45 minutes late and the captain was anxious to make the' schedule. Starting back from the nier to town they were about 15 or 20minutes late. Captj T. D. Meares, clerk of the Board of Audit and . Flnanee, was a passenger on the Wilmington and tes tified in Capt Harper's behalf. -The Sea Gate, he said, came out of the dock at . Old Fort and was followed a little Hater by the steamer Wilming ton from Carolina' Beach pier r about 300 or 400 yards behind. The Wil mington ran along a Utile way be hind, gaining on the Sea Gate, and at length blew one blast from her whistle which was replied to by the Sea Gj tte with . one blast. At Buoy No. 16 1-4 there was not room for the Wilmington to pass west of the chan nel .mark and she passed to. the east ward, i Soon afterwards she lapped the Sea Gate and began to- pass her. They ran side by side' and from' 20 to 50. feet apart until finally the Sea Gate sheered 1 toward the Wilming ton, striking her about amidships and dropping to the stern. ? Prior to that time the. Wilmington - blew several blasts and then one blast which the Sea Gate " responded to with two blasts, j -Then after another interval, she - blew several" blasts again and then one blast The -Sea Gate did not respond to 'the last as hef ecollected The witness .didn't feel competent to pass .upon the channel and buoys and did not observe them closely. He said he didn't observe . what direction the Wilmington took after passing Buoy 16 1-4 i but ; so . far as he could- judge the. boaW held their courses - pretty nearly parallel. ' He didn't hear Capt. Harper shout to the -master . of the Sea. Gate not" to crowd him. - Further questioned :he said' that the . boats were . probably 150 feet - apart when they began to 'lap and were Tunning parallel. : Then they gradually , came together; Jt; was ' almost : impercepti ble. Then the Sea Gate began to run up and back in- the suction of the Wil mington, the distance varying a lit tle but no apparent sheering of either boat until Just : before the Sea Gate struck. , The .crowd I on the Sea Gate cheered a little when their boat first ran up. He didn't Observe the light beacon, thqugh pressed for the loca tion by Capt Harpeij's attorneys, r - On cross examination . he was ask ed if passengers didn't regard lt a race. Capt. Meares said he was on the hurricane dek and din't ; know. Some of those on the Wilmington ex ultantly, shouted "good-bye", to 'those on the Sea Gate, but ' the same cries came from the. others (when -'-their boat took a spurt, so te couldn't say about the' race. , Asked if the Sea Gate when passing, appeared to veer in her course at allt witness said she didn't seem to vary her course . at . all so far, as - he could observe. .The . approach was gradual and almost imperceptible. He answered in the affirmative a question by MrRpuntree that it is practically impossible to' stand on the one boat, with both running parallel, and ; tell whether pne or both approached.! The natural " attraction he thought; not ex pressing an expert - opinioh, would be from,, the larger,- affecting,' the. smaller boat " Capt. . Meares concluded with an explanation of how many he saw tlepHotibeseMrf. tteWilminglte and what was -said. , : - ' v Mr.A.- M. Beck, a .. merchant of Town Creek, a passenger on the steamer Wilmington! at the time v of the .collision,, was . a . witness .lor the Sea Gate. At first , there-was some, discussion -as to whether Mr.' Beck had not ..heard -some of the previous evidences from a window opening . on' the hallway of the Custom Houseit. having been agreed that witnesses should be. excluded from the hearing until after they had ' testified.' It' was found that Mr. Beck's knowledge 'of what other, witnesses had said was only casual - and he was admitted to testify. . He disclaimed any purpose to be disrespectful to the court by saying he knew nothing of the rale to exclude witnesses from the room until they had -testified. Mr. Beck said at the outset he knew nothing of chan nels, buoys ' or the navigation of boats. On the evening of the collis ion he was on the hurricane deck of the Wilmington,; back . of the pilot, house. The two steamers came out, the Sea Gate takings the lead. The Wilmington gained on the Sea Gate and the former blew one blast which was answered by the latter with one blast. When -the Sea Gate answered she turned to the westward or Big Island side of the river, leaving the Wilmington to the east The Wil mington overtook the Sea Gate and they ran side by side about 30 feet apart The Wilmington ran by. the Sea Gate and the passengers on the latter shouted "good-bye" to the peo ple on the other steamer and very soon the Sea Gate did the same thing. There were more signals blown and the Sea Gate "turned off" a little. When she straightened up, the. two ran together. They ran side by side and the witness was so taken up with the race that he didn't observe the buoys,- etc., nor pay much heed to time. He didn't hear Capt Harper shout to Sea Gate not to crowd but he heard Capt Harper, say to some for the right of way and for Tlr. Skin - 3Zv li-nr-Bu.. ner to stay in the channel of the river and not move a peg. On cross examination by Mr, McClammy, Mr. Beck said he could not have mistaken what Capt. Harper said; that Capt Harper did not say when he heard him for "Mr. Skinner to watch the channel and see the course of the Wilmington by the .'peg,' " as Mr. Mc Clammy quoted. Capt. J. W. Craig, 48 years a pilot and 21 years or more a licensed steamboat master., a brother of Capt ai. i . Vraig, oi ine sea uate, was next introduced in behalf of the Sea-Gate, as an expert. He testified to his full acquaintance with the .channel, bea cons, lights, etc., where the collision occurred and the rules and regula tions that usually govern steamboat navigation. A vessel drawing not over six or eight feet of water could pass easily and often did pass to the east of buoy No. 16 1-4, the water be ing navigable to a steamer of the Wil mington's depth 500 feet east of the buoy on mean low water. Once he had taken a vessel drawing as much as much as 14 feet . to the eastward of that buoy. The Wilmington could have passed to the east of buoy 16 1-2 as far as 300 feet to the east. ' He also testified as to the width of the chan nel being over 200 feet wide in the same location and as to a sand shoal to the westward. Capt. Craig was on the stand when a recess was taken until 9:30 A. M. to-day; -. TAN URGENT SUMMONS. Dr. D. W. Bulluck Left Last Nlaht For H endersonville, NC, In response to a telegram from Mr. D. T.
