' Yesterday was an exciting day in tbe
court house, and at any ; time from ten
o'clock in the morning until sundown
in the evening it was difficult, if not al
most impossible, for any one to work
his way into tbe densely packed room.
On the Judge's bench there was a push
and Scrooge, and his honor , could not
spit without bitting somebody." The
aisles and all the space around tha bar
was packed so densely that a man could
not ran his band Into his own pockeL
and . all the surface of the benches in
the room. was 'utilized ss standing
ground by the crowtL? The jury to sit
on the case of Thos L Shields,who mur
dered Mr Joseph G Sitton, was being
drawn, and every ."man in tbe room
seemed intent on catching every word
of Judge, lawyer or Juror. At 11 o'clock
in the morning the work of selecting
the Jury was commenced, and just be
fore sundown the. twelfth man kissed
the Bible and filled the vacant chair in
the jury box.:: .The 'regular6 jury was
first commenced onutnotone of them
could serve, all having expressed their
opinion, and tbe special venire was
then drawn upon, tit was not until in
the afternoon that the first man was
found, and after that there was another
drag until three and then seven bad
been obtained, but after the eighth man
was found, the remainder of .the jury
was quickly secured. The jury as drawn
and empanelled consists of the follow
ing names: W F Cuthbertson, J L
Hart, PC Harkey. A H Griffith, A G
Kirkpatrlck, N J Wingate, J T Barrett,
W S Flanuiktx, J N Howie,T2f Pyron.
S M McCali and T R Dreshour. On the
jury being empanelled they were given
in charge of an officer, and the court
adjourned until this morning, when the
trial will begin. ;
t The Kit k suit against the Air Line
Railroad was let go by the board until
after the conclusion ofthe murder ease,
which will occupy. Judge Gilmer said
he thought, two days. Intense interest
Is manifested In the murder case, and
the court house does net begin to hold
the crowd that is anxious to hear the
evidence. -. : i
Harricane at Sea Terrible storm at I
, uaaiagtoB. , .-j-.j l 4 .
; Sunday night at twelve o'clock a ter
rific harrieane centered along the coast
near Wilmington and storm amount
ing to almost a cyclone prevailed at
Wilmington unceasingly 'up to ' a late
hour last night. No damage was re
ported as having been dene , in the city,
ut it Is feared there have been wrecks
at sea." The sea came entirely over
Wrightsville' sound, and the roar of the
breakers . was distictly. heard at Wil
mington, a distance of eight miles. The
hurricane started off the coast at Flori
da and moved northward. ; .
Stimag Up the Old CorparaUaa.
j The messenger boys of the Southern
Telegraph Company came out yesterday
ia bright new uniforms of cadet gray,
with gold trimmings, and made a very
neat and handsome appearance. The
Western Union is not able to ataod this,
and has decided to have its messenger
boys uniformed ' also. T be Western
Union boys will come out in blue. It
Is something remarkable,tLe good effect
the Southern Company has had upon
the Western Union. It is stirring that
grim old monopoly up in a lively man
ner. Since tha Southern opened and
put call bells in all our hotels and in
the offices of our business men, -the
Western Union has been compelled to
follow suit, and last week a representa
tive of the cheeky eld corporation went
around town asking permission of our
business' men to let them put up call
bells also. This is a convenience we are
morally sure our business men would
never have had but for the establish
ment of the Southern office in bur city.
The Southern Company is making i
lively for its rival all over the country
and it is big fun for everybody except
the Western Union.
