Under a ;loak which she wore and concealed else where on her person were found ten pair of side combs, two pair of scis sors, a lady's hand bag a roll of rib bon, an assortment of finger rings, a large bundle of hair pins and a num ber of other articles from a stock such as is usually carried in a Five and Ten Cent Store.

Wade Be fore Police Court Yesterday for An Assault SATURDAY NIGHT ARREST His Position Vacated and Badge and Papers Turned in to Sheriff Dozen Other Cases Before May or Pro Tern. O'Brien. A' sensational charge of an assault and brutal treatment of a colored wo man, whom he held as a prisoner, was investigated yesterday in the police court, the defendant being Deputy Sheriff J. M. Wade. The hearing was before Mayor Pro Tem. Martin O'Brien in the absence of Mayor. A. Mr Wad- del who is absent from the city. Mr. Wade was represnted by Wm. J. Bel lamy, Esq.; and City Attorney Mars- den Bellamy, Jr., represented the State. After hearing all the evidence, wnicn consumed more than an hour, a fine of $30 and costs was imposed upon the officer, who arranged for the payment of same without appeal. Pre .'ously, upon learning of his conduct Sheriff Stedman had received the deputy's badge from him and all paper-: in his hands for service. The young man was very penitent, attrib uted his conduct to over-intoxication and took his punishment without a protest It appeared from the evidence of Messrs. C. R. Anderson, W. H. Howe ind other reputable citizens who wit nessed the conduct of the officer and vere so outraged that they at once proceeded to the City Hall and pre ferred charges against him, that Mr. Wade Saturday night had a "run in" with a couple of negro women who were drunk and disorderly at Fourth and Red Cross streets about 11:30 o'clock. He took hold of them both and in a melee which followed one of them got away. Mary A. Jones the other, was held and it was alleged that she received very brutal treat ment at his hands, being dragged a part of the way to the station house where she was left without the for mality of a charge. She was bleed ing so profusely from scalp wounds that the police sent her to the hospital. After the trial yesterday, it was ad judged that she had been punished sufficiently and was discharged by the Mayor Pro Tem. It was argued in ex tenuation of Mr.'Wade's offence that the woman applied a vile epithet to him and that she resisted arrest. It was admitted that he was intoxicated, and that, too, was argued in half ex tenuation, but the court held that there could be no excuse for the offi cer's conduct and the. fine was im posed. Other Court Cases. A dozen other cases were also dis posed of in the police court yesterday - but none was of special importance. Thos. Williams, affray, not guilty and discharged: Joe Williams, affray, $10 and costs and Kate Smith, affray, costs, was the entry in the investiga tion of a triangular fight interrupted by the police Saturday night, all the belligerents being colored.

The Mutiny Trial. a It is estimated that exclusive of the running expenses of the court, the trial of the three negro mutineers from the schooner Harry A.

The same was true of large number of witnesses many of whom did not go on the stand at all and some of them coming from as far aa Philadelohia. Uncle Sam is not penurious in his department of jus tice and the trial of the mutineers was a necessary expense which the gov ernment cheerfully met There were no developments in the case yesterday.

A long distance telephone message to the Star late last night from Golds boro, where an election will be held to-day to displace prohibition by a high license control of the liquor traf fic, states that the vote will be very close indeed; that the indications are that the city will remain prohibition, however, by a very much reduced ma jority, the reason assigned being that . .ou .. u,l o w Col. A. M. Waddell spoke in the Messenger Opera House there last night to a crowd of more than 800 and ex-Governor C. B. Aycock ad- dressed an audience of 1,000, principal- ly ladies, in one of the city churches Col. Waddell's address was in favor of high license and strict police regu iatton as the' most practical solution of the temperance question and .Gov ernor Aycock advocated the retention of prohibition. At the Opera House a brass band played on the outside and an orches tra furnished music for the speaking. Great enthusiasm . was manifested among Col. Wadell's hearers and cheer after cheer greeted his remarks. He was introduced by J. L. Barham, Esq., of the law firm of Dortch & Barham. He paid a "Tine tribute to his native City of Wilmington as the most or derly town of its size In the South. Under a high license solution of the liqour problem, there was less crime, taxes had been reduced from $3.96 to $2.00 on the poll and from $1.60 to $1.50' on property, while there was advancement and progress along all lines. This condition of affairs was contrasted with Goldsboro, where the tax on property and poll was to the limit allowed by law; scarcely no pub-! lie improvement and a deficit inevita ble. Col. .Waddell was followed by W. T. Dortch, Esq., who made a ringing speech along the same lines. The campaign is warm, according to the report, and a heated election is ex pected to-day.
