MANY TO ROADS AND FARM Small Colored Boy Not Guilty of Reck less Oriving-White Painter Sent to Convict Stockade Female Vagrants Sent to'Farm. The Mayor yesterday had the (usual full house for the Monday session of the municipal court. Saturday night and Sunday isvan irresistible period with the criminally inclined and the harvest of the polioa always tells on the docket next day. Yesterday was no exception to the rule and seventeen cases all told required judicial con sldfarationi at the hands of the chief executive. A dozen or imore received road and farm sentences while a few escaped with a money consideration in the shapja of fines and costs. Perhaps .the (most interesting case was that of David Bo6"h, a colored boy, charged with fast driving. Boon was the boy who had been sent from Orrell & Alexander's stables to Dr. Schon wald's residency FWdaiyi night when the horse belonging to Dr. SchoniwaldjJ ran- away ana received a oroKen leg, necessitating his being killed. Dr. Schonwald was the prosecutor, it be ing held that the horse was gentle and was made to run. on account of the boy's lashing him. . The boy was represented by Herbert McClammy, but it was found unnecessary to put on any witnesses for the defence as neith er Mr. W. F.. Alexander nor Mr. Tom Mclnerny, who had been summoned for the State, could say that the horse was under control wh'sii they saw the boy swinging to the reins and the horse dashing up the street wildly. The defendant was discharged. C. H. McMillan, a white painter charged with being drunk and raising a row at his home Saturday afternoon, was given 30 days on the roads. He has been before the Mayor before and may have to serve extra time for back costs. - , i r-C. H Btanir"f ormer- employe of the street' dcipartment of the city, was charged with being drunk and down Sunday. He was pressed by the Mayor to know where he got his .liquor from am Sunday but he said that it was malt he had purchased from a drug store that put hfca down and out. The Mayor announced that he would not worfla for th-a city any more and sentenced him to the roads fon 30 days.. G. P. MoManus, white, charged with being disorderly on a car Sunday af ternoon, having been arrested by Con- iductor Thomas Benton, was fined $5 and costs.

Thd com plaint was made by one of their num ber and they offered to jpayi any amount to escape the farm sentence) but the Mayor was relentless and or dered all three to be sent out and sent out in a hurry.

Parties returning the past week from the giant construction work of the Rockingham Power Company, of this city, at Blewett's Falls, in Anson county, report the work as progress ing satisfactorily. More than a thou sand workmen are employed and those acquainted with the situation say it is entirely within the range of probabil ity that Wilmington will be lighted with electricity from the plant some time during the new year. That it is the bona fide purpose of the' company to transmit power to Wilmington is evidenced from the fact that in all the towns of importance between here and Rockingham, the company's engi neers have, been surveying and nego tiating with the municipal authorities with regard to contracts for the town lighting. At Lumberton, possibly the most important town between here and Rockingham and closest to Wil mington, it is learned from a reliable source that the company has been ne gotiating for the purchase of a site near the depot undoubtedlj' wanted for the establishment of a sub-station. At Lumberton the company has also been negotiating with the town au thorities relative to furnishing elec' tricity for lights and power, supplant ing the municipal plant which is now operated there. In connection with the development of this giant electric power, the following from last week's issue of the Rockingham Anglo-Saxon will be read with interest in the terri tory, which the company .will probably supply with current: "The work at Blewett Falls during August broke the record with a total of 13,214 cubic yards of cement, which means that over one-sixth of the entire dam was completed during one month or . sufficient to complete the dam by December 1st at the same rate. The coffer dams are now continuous, bridg ing the great Pee Dee, both above and below the concrete dam. The new road is now completed from Rockig ham to Blewett Falls, making It pos sible to drive the distance of seven or eight miles in a little over an hour instead of two hours as.formrely. The big steam dredge is now completed and as soon as the river rises will be gin taking the dirt outior the tail jrace at the rate of 100,000 cubic yards per month." TRACKED BY BLOODHOUND. Negro' on Multiplicity of Warrants Landed by Constable Yesterday. Herbert Larkins, alias "Bluchy" Hall, a trifling colored youth, had the distinction yesterday of being the first criminal in New Hanover to be arraigned in court owing to the good graces of the county bloodhound. He had been wanted several days on a multiplicity of charges and yesterday morning Constable Savage heard that he was in hiding in Wescott's alley, near Sixth and Wright streets. The officer knew Hall of old and knew that he was going to run as soon as he showed up in the vicinity, therefore he took along the bloodhound for a chase, if the exigencies of the occa sion demanded It. The officer arriv ed at the house and found that Hall had fled. The dog was immediately put on his trail and opened up on the negro's track in great shape. Through several houses and alleys on the chase went until Hall was finally bay ed by the dog in a vacant shanty in Wooster's alley. The negrQ heard the bark of the hound and broke to run again, but the dog was close on to him and he surrendered to the consta ble without further ado. In Justice Furlong's, court yester day afternoon A J. Marshall, Esq., ap peared against the negro, and after all the evidence was in the defendant was held in jail for six months in default of a peace bond of $100; he was sent to the roads for 30 days in each of two cases for disorderly conduct and given an additional 30 days for va grancy. He is an all-round bad egg and the sentence he received yester day will most probably do him good for some time to come. He is dressed well and seems to have been shielded by his mother, who was also" found guilty of disorderly conduct yesterday, judgment being suspended on pay ment of the costs. Before Justice Burkheimer. Jane McDonald, the colored woman, charged by Fred Hall with horse lashing him and of unlawfully detain ing a roll of wire which he was using in running a fence on disputed lands between the two on Castle, befcween Third and Fouirtbj streets, when the woman appeared on the sceme, was called in' Justice Bornemann's court yesterday, but was transferred to Jus tice W. L. Burkheimer. - At the trial Colonel A. M. Waddell appeared for the defence and Ham. John. D. Bellamy for the' prosecution. Justice Burk heiimar reserved his decision until the afternoon when he handed down, an opinion that the womaio was guilty of an assault and gave a decision in fa vor of Hall for the netting.

With the setting of the sun this evening will be celebrated the most solemn day of the Jewish year, called the Day of Atonement The obser vance of the day will be concluded on Wednesday evening. During the 24 hour period no meat or drink will be touched by either Orthodox or Reform ed Jews, and many will pass the day praying in the synagogue. The day marks the close of the 10 days of repentance, which follow the advent of the New Year. The obser vance of 10 days of penitence or re pentance is to make restitution for all the sins which may have been commit ted during the year. Many ot the stores will be closed in honor of the occasion. Services of a solemn nature will be held in the Temple of Israel. Short services will be held this evening and all day Wednesday will be celebrated with sermons and music in harmony with the feast. Special music will be furnished by the choir, consisting of Mrs. J. D. Edwards, soprano; Mrs. Greene Fenley, alto; Mr. Greene Fen ley, tenor; Mr. H. K. Holden, bass; with Mr. A. H. Yopp accompanist.

It is also known as the Feast of Soccoth, or the Feast of Booths, and commemo rates the ancient Jews dwelling in the huts in the desert before coming into the promised land. While the day$ of repentance, con cluding with thef Day of Atonement, are sorrowful days in the Jewish cal endar, the Feast of Tabernacles, which extends from next Sunday to the fol lowing Sunday, is looked upon as the joyous feast in the Jewish calendar. Among the ancient Jews the period was commemorated with abstaining from all servile work, and feasting .and merrymaking. The feast was cel ebrated at the conclusion of the har vest days. At present the opening day and the closing day of the feast are the only days celebrated with ser vices in the religious edifices. The LFeast of Tabernacles will close the solemn days of the Jewish calendar until the Feast of the Passover, which occurs at Easter. LOCAL COTTON MARKET. Receipts Heavy, Prices Continue Downward Another Steamer. There was another sharp break in the cotton market yesterday, Wilming ton being quoted nominal on the strength of a decline of 40 points in the New York spot market since Sat urday. New York was quoted yester day steady at 12.20, against 12.60, at the closing Saturday. The receipts here, however, continue heavy, 2,752 bales having been received yesterday against only 1,188 same day last sea son. Of yesterday's receipts, 2,330 bales came by the W. C. & A. Rail road; 207 by the Wilmington and Weldon, 170 by the Carolina Central, 31 bales by the Fayetteville steamer Lyon, 10 bales by the steamer May flower from down the river and four bales by the schooner Chauncey T. Last year at this time, the local mar ket was quoted at 9 1-16 for middling, so that while the prices this year are ranging downward in a hurry, it is hardly expected that they will reach the level of last season. There was an arrival of another cotton steamer yesterday, making three now dn port. The latest arri val is the British tramp Mariner, 1,523 tons, Capt. Bubb, from New York. She has taken a-berth at the Champion Compress and will begin receiving the white staple for the other side at once. Blocker Gets Twelve Months.

C, Sept 16.-ecretary T. K. Bruner, of the State Depart-1 inent of Agricudthxre, in charge of the immigration work carried am by the Department, has just returned from a trip tnrough Europe appointing im migration agents, making it plain to them just the classes of immigrants that are wanted in this State and working up interest in North Carolina as a place for home seekers. He spent three days in France, twenty five days in England and Scotland, five days in. Norway and five in Ger many. He impressed on the immigra tion! agents 'appointed the fact that North Carolina wants farm bred immi gramts, male and female, females to be impressed especially that they are wanted for domestic work. Immi grants from the European cities are not wanted owing to the radical dif ferences in the methods, of life be tween homes in this country : and in ; European! towns. Mr. Bruner 'says he feels sure he sowed some seed which will result a little later in bringing quite a number Of desir able people to this State. - In fact a number of immigran.ts he inter ested are already am their way across the Atlantic to settle in North Caro lina. Others are . to sail -later in the Fall.

In the State Department of Agricul- tuire the compilation of tha reports from the tobacco warehouses in the State showing the sales of teaf tobacco during August gives a grand total to 8,766,096 pounds of which 7,827,855 was sold for producers, first hand, 212,904 sold for dealers and 725,337 for warehouses and warehouse mem. . This report Iby the iState Department is under tluei act of the last Legislature requiring all warehouses to report sales monthly to the department un der penalty. These reports which ; are the first received under the act, show that Kinston led during August with 1,674,017 pounds;; Wilson. 1,351, 123; Winston-Salem 168,217; Greens- r boro 23,186; Fair Bluff 928,514; Ra leigh 22,312 pounds. Attention is di rected by the department to the fact that the market is not nearly so far; developed at this time in the western . section of the State as in the eastern section for the reason that thai east- ' em tobacco is ready for market much, earlier.
