Against Real Estate Agent
The Trial liy Jury.
The possession of the stores at 19
21 Front street, formerly occupied as
salesrooms by the supply department
of the Wilmington Iron Works, was
the subject of an interesting and hotly
conteslted -suit before Justices John J.
Furlong and George Harriss yesterday
afternoon. The premises are at pres
ent occupied by one Josh Simon, a Sy
rian merchant - who wants to retain
the stand. At the same time James
Owen- Reilly, thte real estate agent,
representing the owners, desires pos
session of the place and had already
rented to Messrs. Sweeney & Sloan,
the new, hardware firm', which expect
ed to begin business October 1st, but
was unable to get possession.
' The sufit- was ah action foejectment
against Simon, who was represented
by Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, and set up
a prior claim to the rental of the
stores. Mr. Reilly was represented by
ex-Judge E. K. Bryan. The case was
first moved from Justice Furlong, who
set the hearing before Justice George
Harriss. y Upon the calling of the case
before; ithe latter magistrate, the de
fendant's attorney asked for "a jury
trial and after some difficulty the fol
lowing were empanelled: Messrs. J.
A Springer, T. W. Wood, W. E. Glenn,
Henry Hewett, G. W. Mathews and J.
T. Runge. The hearing lasted for
some timei and drew quite a large
croWd of spectators The jury retired
for a verdict and were unable to agree
for 4o minutes when a verdict was
finally returned in favor of the Syrian
merchant An appeal was taken to;
the Superior Qourt by Mr. Reillyand
the case will likely hang; fire " for a
year or more, Simon in the meantime
remaining in possession of the place.

Yesterday afternoon's Fayietteville
Observer has the following of interest
in Wilmington:
"President J. A. Mills, of the Raleigh
Southport Railroad, who was in the
city yesterday, said that within a week
or two he will put a train on his road
to run through from Raleigh to Wil
mington, which will make fast time,
leaving Raleigh in the afternoon and
making the run to Wilmington in
about four hours. yThe train, when it
reachtes Fayetteville, will use the
tracks of 'the AtlanticV& Yadkin divis-
icn of the Atlantic Coast Line to Wilmington.
'It is- said that it is not improbable
that the A. C. L. Wilminglton, Greens
boro and Mount Airy "trains will 'use
the passenger depot of the Raleigh &
Southport, instead of the present de
pot on upper Hay street. The Raleigh
& Southport is going to. have a very

death of young Mr. Benjamin Cooper
Bordeaux was contained in this paper
yesterday morning. Mr. Bordeaux
passed away at 2:50 o'clock at his
home, No.. 314 Harnett street, after an
illness of only a short ttime! He was
27 years old and had lived in this city
for some time, numbering his friends
hv thfi Krre. He was last, emnloved
with the Portner Brewing Company inJ
this (city and was held, in the highest
esteem by ; his employer, Mr. Banck.
Out of respect to Mr. Bordeaux, the
offices of the company will be closed
in this city to-day from 10 o'clock un
til noon. -
Mr. Bordeaux leaves a wife and

in their sorrow.
..Mr. Bordeaux was a leading member

Red Men, and the funeral will be con
ducted with the honors of that organ
ization from the late residence at 10
o'clock this morning. Elsewhere will

Special Sermon by Pastor Hale
First Baptist Church Last Night.
Forty:six members of the class of
fifty-odd patients who are taking the
McKanna Three-Day Liquor Cure in
the lecture room of the First Baptist
church, . were present last night at a
special service conducted by Pastor
Hale at which he talked on the sub
ject "The Three-Day Liquor Cure and
its Results in Wilmington to Date."
The discourse was highly commenda
tory of Dr. McKanna and his work in.
Wilmington and the service was of
more than especial interest.
An incident, somewhat sensational
-A.
in its nature, wa the opening of a
telegram at the rquest 'tf ; Dr. Hale
by a member of the congregation atfd
its reading to the public as a partof
the discourse. The telegram was in
reply to one sent by Dr. Hale to hisi
brother-in-law in Reidsville the home
of the McKanna cure, yesterday af
ternoon and was as follows:
"Z. H. Neal, ;Reidsville, N. C.
"Have McKanna patients' there stay
ed cured from the liquor habit. An
swer. f: FRED. D. HALE"
At the request of Dr. McKanna the
reply to the telegram was not opened
by anyone interested and was handed
to a member of the congregation last
night to be read out to all, no one
knowing the contents until it was
read. The reply was as follows:
"Rev. Fred. D., Hale, D. D., Wilming-
N. C. 1
"Every one of Dr. McKanna's
Reidsville patients has stayed . cured.
"Z. H. NEAL."
It is unnecessary to say that the re
sult was very gratifying to Dr. Mc
Kanna and to the large number of his
patients in the church auditorium.

ter Rowe, in St. John's Episcopal
church at six o'clock yesterday even
ing, is described, as one of the pret
tiest weddings .celebrated in (the city
in scme itme. ' The interior of the
church was tastefully, decorated with
palms and ferns and over the wed
ding scene was shed a soft illumina
tion' from numerous wax) tapers, the
effect being a charming one indeed. A
large number of admiring friends and
relatives were present to witness thie
happy event. , 5 ' j
The wedding marches were skilfullir
rendered by Mr. Edward H. Munsoi
the bridal party being ushered into this
church promptly at the appointed
hour with the bridal chorus from Lo

altar by the groom and his best man,
Dr. D. L. Alexander, of Ann Arbor,
Mich., who7 entered from the choir
room to one . side. The service was
read by the rector, the Rev. James
Carmichael, D. D.,:the scene being at
once beautiful and impressive. The
ring service was used and the bride
was given away by her father.
The bride wore a lovely creation of
radium silk and carried bride's roses.
The maid of honor, a sister of the
bride, wore pink silk, black chiffon hat
with gloves to match and carried a
bouquet of pink rpses. The brides
maids were charmingly attired in
white organdies, black chiffon1 hats,
gloves to match, and carried lovely
bouquets of pink bridesmaids roses.
The ensemble at the altar was espe
cially attractive. V,
The exit from the church was in
reverse order of that in which the
party -entered and was to the glad
some music of Mendelssohn's Wed-.
ding March. Mr. and Mrs. Rowe re
ceived the . hasty-' congratulations of
many friends ami left on -the 6:50
