FISHBtATE VERDICT Judgment For- Plaintiff in Acci dent Policy Suit in Super ior Court Yesterday FOR FULL AMOUNT OF $1,700 Appeal Will No Doubt Be Taken to SupremCourJtonk CaseJComes on For Hearing This Morning Other Notes. After deliberating upon the issues less than twenty minutes yesterday, theury in the Superior Court, which had-in hearing the case ofS. H. Fish blate and wife- against the 'Fidelity and Casualty Company, of New York, returned a verdict for the full amount of $1,700 asked for in the complaint. The jury took the case a few minutes before 5 o'clock and announced its readiness with a verdict in a remark-, ably short time, the issues and an swers being returned as follows: "Was the plaintiff's eye lost as the result directly and independently of ail other causes from bodily injuries sustained through external, violent and ' accidental means? Answer, Yes. - "Did the plaintiff warrant in the contract of insurance that he was in a sound condition mentally and physical ly? Answer, Yes. "If so was said warranty falseAn swer, No. "If so was It knowingly false? (No answer necessary). "Did the defendant have knowledge of the mental and physical condition of the plaintiff at the time the policy was issued? Answer, Yes" It is understood that the jury was not five minutes in reaching an agree ment on the first issue and that the others were easy after that one had been, settled. All the morning session of the court was consumed in argu ment to the jury, Iredell Meares, Esq., speaking for two hours and a half for the defence and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy half an hour before the dinner recess and an hour in the afternoon in behalf of the plaintiff. Both speeches were regarded as very able indeed Judge Allen's charge to the jury consumed more than an hour and was regarded by both sides as a fair and able presentation of the law and facts bearing upon the case. The evi dence in the suit and His Honor's charge to the jury were taken in shorthand by Miss Stella Shrler, offi cial court stenographer. No one expected the jury to reach a verdict so soon and Judge Allen left instructions that he would come again to the court room at 7 o'clock in the evening and receive any ' verdict or give any additional instructions that might be wanted at that time. The attorneys had dispersed but were at length gathered, after some delay, and at 6:30 o'clock the verdict was returned. Counsel for the insurance company will to-day make motions for a new trial and for the setting aside of the vtrdict. The case will go to the Su preme Court in any event Court met yesterday morning as us ual at 10 o'clock. The sheriff return ed the following talesmen as summon ed for to-day: E. P. Willard, C. L. Fortune, B. M. Fennell, Jno. H. Wil liams, W. P. Oldham, C. I Dickinson, R. B. Moore, E. Keathley. Not found: Samuel L. Smith, Jno. W. Crandall, N. E. Gallagher, J. H. Conley and J. P. Walton. Excused by the court: E. P. Willard. During the day the following orders were entered on the docket: Murchi son National Bank vs. P. J. Jeffxy, or der of removal to Harnett county; mo tion of J. C. Clifford, Esq.; R. M. Pear sail appointed receiver. Murchison Na tional Bank. vs. Dunn Oil Mil Co., and J. D. Barnes, time to file plead ings, copy of complaint to be mailed defendants' attorneys; 30 days there after to answer. Just before court adjourned the cele brated case of Monk against the City of Wilmington was called so it would not lose its place on the calendar un der the rule of the bar that all suits not reached on the day they are set for trial go over until next term. The case involves the title to the city rock quarry and royalty upon a large amount of street paving material taken therefrom. The matter has been to the Supreme Court a time or two, coining back now for a new trial. An imposing array of counsel appear on each side of the controversy and the trial without a doubt will continue In to the second week. Appearing for the estate of the plaintiff, who died since the litigation was instituted, are Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, Messrs, Empie & Empie and Bellamy & Bellamy. For the defendant, city are ex-Judge E. K. Bryan, Wm. J. Bellamy arid Herbert McClammy, Esqs. Being of the firm of Bellamy & Bellamy, of counsel for the plaintiff, the present city attorney, Marsden Bellamy, Jr., i Esq., upon his election to office since the suit was instituted asked and was given leave by the Board of Aldermen to have no connection with the case whatever. It is understood that Messrs. Roun tree & Carr will represent the inter esta of Mrs. W. A. Wright In the Monk suit Costumes of the Ku Klux Klan. ! When "The Clansman" ls presented In this city at matinee and" night Tues day at the Academy, the peculiar cos tumes of the Ku Klux Klan will be shown on the stage for the first time, This costume consist of a white mask for the face, with orifices for the eyes and nose; a tall fantastic card-board hat, so constructed as to apparently Increase'the wearer's Jleighth; a gown, or robe of sufficient length to cover" the entire person and a cover . which com pletely covered the riders horse, and, by "the way, several horses are used in this play. Each member also carried a whistle s that they cotfld communi cate with one another by means of a secret code of signals." WlIi&nKGrTOK; m C, SATtJRDAY, OCTOBEB 7, 1905. BpND WANTED FORSHOCKLEY Motion For. Habea Corpus Lodged in . Superior Court Yesterday Heard Upon Petition Next Friday In the Superior Court yesterday a motion was lodged ' by defendant's counselor a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of M. W. Shockley, who is con fined in jail, charged with the killing of Frank Talbert in front' of defen dant's saloon on South Front street a few months ago, the circumstances of which are familiar to. readers of this paper. The motion was by Herbert McClammy, Esq., who said he would le the formal petition .for the writ either b the following day or an Mon day.; He madethemotion in advance so that the proper notice could be given Solicitor Duffy to be present and represent the State at the hearing. Judge Allen, presiding over the court, ordered the motion entered upon the docket and the clerk was instruct ed to ISsue notice to the solicitor both at his home and at Newbern, so that the prosecuting attorney may be pres ent or represented at the hearing up on the petition, which was set for nect Friday, October 13th. Messrs. McClam my and Bellamy & Bellamy appear for the prisoner. As yet no one has been engaged by the prosecution to assist the solicitor. Counsel for Mr. Shockley yesterday afternoon courteously declined to dis cuss the grounds upon which the peti tion for habeas corpus will be based, further than that the offence with which he is charged ls a bailable one and the next regular term of court at which it will be possible to .give the defendant a trial is more than three months distant and the prisoner must lie in jail until that time. One of counsel for Mr. Shockley stated last night that when Solicitor Duffy was here at the criminal term of court last week, he agreed to consent to a bond of $10,000 for the prisoner but that amount was regarded as ex cessive. It is hoped by the writ of habeas corpus to establish that a bond of say $5,000 will be sufficient to re quire the defendant's attendance for trial and that more than that amount would be burdensome. INJURED IN RUNAWAY. Three Wilmington Ladies Had Fright ful Experience at Castle Haynes. A frightful runaway occurred about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Cas tle Haynes- A horse attached 'to a vehicle in which Mrs. A. M. Wilson and her two daughters, Mrs. Nettie Robbins and Mrs. Ellis Fulcher, were returning from a drive in the country, became frightened at an ox and cart in the road and dashed off beyond the control of one of the ladles who was driving. The vehicle was overturned and the occupants thrown out. Mrs. Robbins was caught under the buggy and the two other ladles were thrown to one side. Mrs. Wilson was injured in the chest; Mrs. Fulcher was bruised under the left eye and suffered a dis location or partial fracture of the elbow, and Mrs. Robbins was slightly injured and sustained a severe nervous shock. The horse ran with the overturned ouggy some distance and completely demolished it, later breaking out of the harness and running toward the city leaving the wreck strewn along the highway for some distance. The ladies were brought to the city and were attended by physicians at their homes at 402 "South Fifth street and at 312 Nun street, the latter , be ing the residence of Mrs. Fulcher. "THE INDEPENDENT" IS OUT. Wilmington's Latest Candidate For Journalistic Honors Is in Field. "The Independent," Wilmington's new evening paper by ' The Indepen dent Company made its initial appear ance on the streets yesterday after noon. It presents an attractive typo graphical appearance and the first number is well filled with general and local news and vigorous editorial com ment.

Watson, near the County Home, terrorizetd the neighborhood late Thursday night by stealing a gun-f from Mr. Ben Turlington at the small pox hospital and using it in a threat ening manner upon several persons in the neighborhood. Smith was very drunk and disorderly and Mr. F. A. Montgomery, keeper of the County Home, and other white residents were called upon to subdue the negro. He was arrested and confined at the workhouse- until Constable Savage went out yesterday and brought him to Jail on two warrants sworn out by Mr. Turlington, charging larceny of the gun and an assault with a deadly weapon.

The Wilmington Light Infantry Ba zaar closed last night just as it opened In a blaze, of idoiy-'. The crowds were quite as large as upon the occa sion of the opening and the weather was clear, fresh and, bracing; not too cold for the strenuous life of the mid way nor too chilly for those who es chewed more active participation and came with wraps -to look upon the merry whirl of carnival gaities. It was 12 o'clock before the grounds were entirely clear after one of the most pleasant and certainly the most profitable of the three nights of the show. The feature of the bazaar finale was the close of the voting contest and the crowning of the queen of the fair. The distinguished honor was won by the friends and admirers of Miss Margaret Ashe, who received 20,490 votes while the close competitors were friends of Miss Helen Kenly, 17,100; Miss Lottie Dffie, 16,550; Miss Lottie Pleasants, 1C,450; Miss Olivia Home, 12.200 and Miss Leia Larkins, 11,800. The con test was conducted upon a very dig nified plane and fr41owing the an nouncement of the vote the interesting ' crowning" event took: place in the assembly room of the armory where Capt. Wm. F. Robertson in an exceed ingly happy little address presented to Miss Ashe a very handsome signet ring, engraved upon the signet being "W. L. I. Queen," and upon the inside the year "1905." It was a most inter esting little affair and one upon which Miss Ashe was happily congratulated by her u:ahy friends. Folio wing the exercises at all the several rbooths and midway attrac tions, where the gaities were kept up until a late hour, a "council of war," so to speak, was held by the bazaar managers in the officers' room of the armory. It was there ascertained that the net receipts of the bazaar were be tween $450 and $500, more than $300 of the gross amount havine been taken in last night An interesting feature of the closing events of the bazaar was the sale of the 550-lb bale of cotton donated to the company by Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son. It brought 24 1-2 cents per pound or a sum total of $121.90. The lucky bidders for the prize were Messrs. H. Overstreet and P. W. Davis, who captured the neat bundle of the fleecy staple on No. 66, pooling their bid and receiving it for that amount In the shooting gallery contest the pair of $3.50 W. L. Douglas shoes of fered by the Mercer & Evans Com pany to the person making tHe best score put of 16 shots, will probably fall to Messrs. W. VanHardin and C. A. Lord, who tied in a score of three "bull's eyes" out of five- Upon the proper certificate from the bazaar management the winner may call at the store of the company and be fitted. Some other valuable prizes were al so captured at the wind-up of affairs but the list ls too lengthy for enumer ation here. A nice lot of chocolate and pound cakes left over from the bazaar may be purchased very reasonably by house holders, who will apply at the armory to-day at noon. Aside from assisting a most worthy object, the purchasers win receive mil value ana more lor what they buy. A feature of the midway last night was a serenade from the Great East ern Band, which came up from its practice room at the City Hall and gave the midway a lively accompani ment for -its merriment The visit was appreciated by the company and the public, many of whom heard the or ganization for the first time. INVESTIGATION PENDING. Typewritten Report In Convict Inquiry Ready Monday Other Witnesses. The typewritten report of the evi dence taken in the convict inquiry will hardly be ready for review by the County Commissioners before Monday. However, there are sev eral other witnesses yet to testify and the Board expects to meet again this afternoon for the purpose of hearing them. Since he testified before the Board Thursday afternoon Mr. Preston Cummlng, instigator of the original in quiry, has written a letter to Commis sioner Robertson giving in writing the names of, witnesses whom he claims will testify to the facts as set forth in his complaint to the State Board of Charities. With the exception of ex- Guards Ormsby and Riverbark, six or eight convicts are offered by Mr. Cum mlng, the names of all of whom have previously figured in the investigation. It Is the purpose of the Commission ers to examine each of these under oath and the hearing, as above stated, will take place this afternoon unless something unforeseen develops to postpone the further inquiry. Cotton and Naval Stores. The weekly statement of the re ceipts of cotton and naval stores was posted yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce. Naval stores show a slight falling off in receipts in all items ex cept crude from the same week last year. The receipts of cotton the past week were 19,540 bales against 20,- 7,441 bales same week last season; since September 1st, 87,288 against 76,908 up to a corresponding date last season. There are now-even large tramp steamers in port for cotton. The Rosewood, 'however, will dear this morning. - . - ! -. 7- ''-' - t- PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Dr. J.

Effie Ellsler in Brilliant RevivaJ of Favorite "Hazel Kirke." "Hazel Kirke," the miller's daughter, will go through the trials and triumphs that make her Lady Travers upon the stage of the Academy Monday night when Steele . Mackaye's remarkable play of that name is presented by a strong company, the star of which is Effie Ellsler, the actress who created the heroine's role and made it famous. Several thousand times since this drama first was produced at the Madi son Square Theatre, New York, over flowing audiences have breathlessly followed the fortunes of the Lancas hire lass from Blackburn mill to Fairy Grove Villa. It has been seen by more people and has spread a more whole some influence than any other . play of the generation. The number of fathers, mothers and daughters who have been strengthened in their family relation by this intensely dramatic picture of the misunderstanding be tween Dunstan Kirke and his high minded daughter, hardly can be calcu lated. ' "Hazel Kirke" never was seen undej- more favorable conditions than this year. Miss Ellsler, now in her prime as a woman and an actress, never lent her role more charm, fresh ness, exuberance and authority than she is doing now,-and the production provided by Manager Jules Murry, it Is said, excels in scenic an sartorial in terest any previous revival. This is positively Miss Ellsler's final tour in "Hazel Kirke." Seats on sale at Plummer's. Y. M. C. A. ELECTIONS. Board of Directors, Trustees and Com mittee Chairmen Named.
