The utterance of ' His Honor in this respect caused a sensation- in the tibuft . room which was intensified when he went on to say that the Cum berland jaif was only a! little 'better the only advantage that it possess'ed being that once in a while a prisoner was able to get out of there. The matter came up when the Judge was sentencing several defendants to short terms in prison for the ordinary offences of retailing without license. He said that the worst feature of the conditions, in the New Hanover jail seemed to be the fare. He wouldn't give a prisoner unnecessary punish ment by sentencing him to a term in the New Hanover'jail and he regretted, that it was necessary to confine some of them there while vthey were await ing trial. The statements of His Hon or are believed 'to have been based upon reports that reached him from time to time from Federal prisoners confined in the jail here, more recent ly from the six sailors who are held mittees -named several 'days" ago are making their rounds and it is hoped that they wilt meet with prompt arid liberal responses. ; the. enlistment of the men in the United States navy. - 7 : The defence will begin the introduc tion of its testimony to-day at 9:30 A.

The jury as finally .empanelled, is composed of 11 white and one colored man; Harry Covington, a rather el derly cIH2en of Richmond county On account of the wide discussion of the case, on the streets and the impor- tance of it, J.udge Purnell ordered tne Marshall to keep the jury ;to-gether at a good hotel, until the trial is over. The' presence of the colored" man on the jury would have presented dim culties to any other than men of the renins of . Marshall Claude Dockery and 'Manager Joe Hinton of The Or ton.

The excoriation of the jail by Judge Purnell was freely discussed on the streets during the afternoon and it came with much surprise in view of the fact that the recent grand jury from the State Superior Court made an Inspection of - the . prison . and re ported officially that it was well kept and that the prisoners had no com plaint to make of their treatment Jailer Ed- Capps, when seen about the matter ..last night said that he" was surprised at the complaint - for he thought that as far as the fare goes, the prisoners were getting enough for three men such as it is, plain ordi nary prison fare, j . - Messrs.

Theevidence was all that could be possible and the woman was brought to the city and .lodged in jail without bond to await trial at the next term of the Superior Court in ; Jan uary, . , .. : ' ... , . It will be recalled from an account of the burglary in these columns a few days ago, ,that the woman made her escape from- the county institution on the night of ; the afternoon on which she was .committed there. She .went prowling around the country, and find ing the Cozy, litti6 cottage of the sec tion master, she thought it vxmld pe a pleasant place to spend the night, i'a winaow was raised and the womani crawled through. Mr. Lamb ,wjis awakened b his wife t who told him that some was trying to break in. He jumped up and went into the hall and discovered the woman coming out of an unoccupied bed room with . her shoes in her hand. Mr. Lamb laid hold of her and with the assistance of a colored man the woman burglar was carried to the home of Mr. Hern bert Johnson, a, magistrate of Cape Fear township. She was locked up in an out-house until the following morn ing when she was returned to the county home and a warrant was sworn for her for burglary. The prisoner be ing confined in a penal institution at the time, several days ere required to ascertain the . method 'of procedure ucjij cassoitJwas-no uatii that the trialcguld ,be..had. A colored man employed on the roaJ by Section Master, Lamb was at the trial- yesterday, and 'testified- that the woman had broken into his Jiouse be fore entering the' house of ''Mr. Lamb. The woman admitted being in 'the house 'In the night time, but said that a white man had lifted her up to the window and put her in. She could not give particulars, however, and- the evidence was abundantly sufficient to admit of probable cause. The woman is one of the. most no torious characters known to the police and has absolutely no regard for the law or respect for its officers. She has created a scene-more than once while under arrest on the streets or while being tried in thepolice courts of the city. The case will be watch ed with Interest as, probably the first case of burglary - ever tried in the county in which the defendant is a woman- The Fisher woman is an. Al bino and can hardly be told from white except by other characteristics.

' X a Five dollar wool blankets at $3.50 itft 'RehderC'V:''.-.- - : v. ' '.;. The monthly stock report of -cotton , and naval stores 'was, posted yester-' day at the .Chamber of Commerce." It shows, receipts of 112,678 bales of cot- ton during the month of October against only 94,384 bales the same month last "season," while the receipts since the first of September have been 146,922 bales against 162,132 up toa corresponding date in 1905. ..When'lt Is considered that thejeroip this year is at least two weeks later than the year before, it will be seen that the port is well holding its own and that if the crop pans out, the receipts this year will, be .equal to or greater than last season. The' export record for October just passed has probably never before been equalled in the history of the port, the number of bales loaded Into for eign ships and sent abroad having been 109,532 against 86,760 during Ck? tober last year. The crop year exports since the first of September thus far have been 122,736 against 129,835 bales , during a corresponding period last; year. The local market yesterday was quoted at" 10 1-8 cent3 on a basis of middling, which ' was an eighth higher -than either Savannah or Charleston, competitive markets. -The receipts just at present are hot ast heavy as' on the same day last year,V which is due. largely, it ; is thought, to the de pression; , of prices Wnd the., fact that J labor in the cotton fields is entirely In adequate. - The receipts of naval stores for the past month show a falling off from the same month' last year. The same is true df the crop year in all items ex cept crude turpentine in which there is a gain. , For-the month the receipts wereVas follows: Spirits 1,386; rosin, 7,359; . tar, 1,577; crudei turpentine, 2, 194. Last year Spirits, 2,012; rosin 8,359; tar, 1,964; crude turpentine, 3, 512. The receipts since the first of the new crop year were as follows . Spirits,1 11,126; rosin, 58,402;' tar, 10i 160; ; crude turpentine, . 23,751. Same period last year: Spirits, 13,285; ros in, 60,443; tar, 16,802;, crude" turpen- tine, 19,263. The prices of all naval stores are ruling about the same as last season. The shipping report for October " compares most favorably "with that of last year. The-monthly statement'of Capt. Edgar D. Williams, harbor mas ter, shows arrivals of 30 vessels of ninety tons .and over, with a combined tonnage of 43,442. Of the number,' of vessels 15 were American and 15 .for eign. The American shipping consist ed of 11 steamers, one barge and three schooners, while all the foreign vessels were steamers for, the cotton trade or in the fertilizer product im porting here. The American steamers; were of 12,512' tons; barge, 1,600 tons, and the schooners; 1,313 tons The tonnage of the foreign vessels was 28,017. . . ; ::-,, ..
