The docket having been practically
cleared, the criminal term of New
Hanover Superior Court which has
been on since last Monday, was ad
journed sine die shortly after 6 o'clock
yesterday evening and Judge Allen
left an hour later or his home ' at
Goldsboro to spend Sunday. A two
weeks' term for the trial of; civil
causes, Judge Allen presiding, will con
vene on Monday.
Yesterday was devoted largely to
clearing up odds and ends left over
froni previous days, though several
cases of more than passing interest
were disposed of. The grand jury,
which was reconvened to pass upon
another bill in the anti-trust case
which is told of elsewhere in today's
paper, finally wound up all matters
shortly after 5. o'clock yesterday after
noon and was discharged for the term.
It returned several new indictments
on matters brought to its attention af
ter being recalled, one of which was a
charge "of running a disorderly house
against Mrs. M. L. Little, 17th and
Princess street, who was later arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff A. T. Piver- and
lodged in jail, pending arrangement of
bond. A number of witnesses testi
fied freely before the errand lnrv as tn
the kind of house conducted by the
Little woman and the case will come
up for trial at the September term.'
Of chief interest in the court pro
ceedings yesterday was a mistrial in
the case of Richard Aust, manager of
the Riverside Pleasure Club, at foot
of Market street, charged with retail
ing liquor. The jury remained out
all night, hopelessly tied up 10 to 2
for acquittal, the sanr? division as in
the Coxe case, though a different jury,
and Judge Allen ordered a m'strial.

The musical festivals of Spartan
burg, S. C, Raleigh, Charlotte and oth
er cities have served much in advertis
ing those towns to the cultivated peo
ple of the Carolinas and Wilmington
should no longer be considered tho
exception. Columbia, S. C, is just
now advertising a great music festi
val to be held in the Columbia theatre
under the auspices of the Columbia
Musical Association, and the event is
attracting wide interest from all r-ver
South Carolina.
