Judge Council Disposing
of Docket With All Dis
patch Possible Many
Cases Heard this Morn
ing. Judge Council is disposing of the
criminal court docket with all the
dispatch possible. Mostly minor cases
have been considered so far. The case
of Jas. Dunham, for the murder of
Troy Sutton, has been set for Friday
morning. A special venire of 50 men
has been ordered for this case.
The case against Bob Springs for kill
ing a negro named McKnight will come
up Tuesday, a venire of 25 men being
summoned. The other prominent case
-in which Charles B. Kimbrell is
charged with shooting his brother-in
law , Charles Thomas, last October.
wag set for monday. The shooting did
not prove fatal, though the victim's
condition at one time seemed very ser
ions.
The cases so far disposed of have
ueen tnose involving minor cnarges,
mostly retailing and carrying concealed
weapons being the alleged offences in
a majority of the cases tried. His
honor seems determined to break up
these forms of law-breaking as far as
possible, and in every case of convic
tion imposes a sentence commensurate
with his idea of justice and of law en
forcement. Sam Alexander, convicted of carry-
concealed weapons, was sentenced

Roscoe Starnes Escapes
From The County Jail
Roscoe Starnes, a young white man
in jail awaiting trial on a charge of
larceny, mane his escape this after
noon by jumping through a window-,
one of the bars of which had been
broken.
The prisoner was standing in the
corridor handcuffed to another prison
er, when the jailor turned his back for
a moment and Starnes managed to un
fasten the handcuffs from his wrist
and slipped through the bars before
the window. One bar had been brok
en and this formed a space between
the two bars about 6 inches wide.
Officers are on the escaped man's
trail but so far no capture has been
effected.

"The Unwritten Law" By the Vernon
Stock Company Witnessed "by Big
Audience.
The Vernon Stock Company began
a week's engagement at the Academy
of Music last night and presented "The
Unwritten Law" for the opening bill.
It was a splendid play, and was wit
nessed by a large and appreciative au
dience.
"The Unwritten Law" is a drama in
four acts and is the work of Mark
Swan, the celebrated playwright. Mr.
B. B. Vernon as Paul Feat herst one,
an artist, was exceptionally good in
the part and came in for lots of ap
plause from the audience. Miss Ber
tha Fulien as MrV. Featherstone, also
made a splendid impression and en
acted her prat with much grace and
ease. Miss Florence Rodinoff as Ag
nes Trevor, was one of the bright stars
of the performance. The balance of
the company is deserving of mention,
in fact the performance as a whine
was perfect in every particular.
The Vernon Stock Company is with
out doubt the best stock organization
That has ever visited this city, and
should draw crowded houses through
out their engagement in Charlotte.
Tonight the much discussed drama
"The Devil" will be given, and will
doubtless attract another capacity
house.

Sadler-Rion.
The Columbia, (S. C.) State con
tains the following account of the
marriage of Mr. W. C. Rion, of this
city, and Miss Kate Sadler, which
occurred in Columbia last week and
which will be read with much in
terest by many friends in this city:
"Of marked interest is the an
nouncement of the marriage of Miss
Lucia Kate Sadler to Mr. William
Calhoun Rion, Monday evening at
8-'.0 o'clock at the home, of the
bride's mother, Mrs. J. G. Sadler, on
Washington street. This engage
ment was announced some time ago
and the marriage was to have taken
place in April, but it was decided
Monday morning that there was no
need for further delay and that Mr.
Rion, who was here on a short visit,
should take home his nnue at uu.
Preparations were hurriedly made
and the house gracefully decorated
with exquisite cut flowers and palms.
The relatives of the two families and
few intimate friends were nouneu
and there were quite a ntimuei ui
guests present at the ceremony, which
was performed by trie uey. wrKiuau
G. Finley.
"The charming bride was never
more lovely than in her tailored gown
of one of the soft new shades of
wisteria worn with a black plumed
picture hat. Her bouquet was of fra
grant sweet peas with maiden hair
fern. There was an informal recep
tion just after the ceremony when
cake and wine were served the guest
and immediately afterward the bride
and groom left for Charlotte, where
they will make their home.
"The bride, . who is noted for her
vivacious beautv and charm of man
ner, has a host of friends here m
Columbia who wish her happiness.
The groom, formerly ot tins cuy, iji
some time made his' home in New
York, where he was associated with
the Standard ou uompauy. xu.t,
part of the past year he returned to
Columbia and went last summer to
Charlotte where he is still associated
with the same company in their
office there. He has many friends
here and in v different parts of the
tn rfPfr mm sincere cunsiaLu-
Mr. C. M. C res well, secretary of the
Mecklenburg Fair Association left this
afternoon for Greensboro where he will
attend a meeting this evening of the
secretaries of the Carolina-Virginia
Circuit of Fair Associations. The
meeting was called in Greensboro for
the purpose of considering applications
from three North Carolina associations
for membership. These are Salisbury,
Greensboro and Winston-Salem.- It is
likely that all three will be admitted.
Another important matter to be con
sidered will be the fixing of dates for
the fall fairs. The associations in the
circuit are Galax, Tazewell, Roanoke,
Redford and Richmond, Va.. Raleigh
and Charlotte, N. C, and Columbia,

THE PROWLING OF THE WOLF.
Delegates Elected to Birmingham.
At a meeting of the session of the
Second Presbyterian church held last
night Elderes James W Pharr John
C. McNeely and John B. Ross were
elected delegates to the laymen's con
vention to be held at Birmingham,
Ala., next week. The Baraca class of
the church will also be represented.
Oyster Supper.
An oyster supper under the aus
pices of the ladies of Calvary Metho
dist church yill be given tonight at
8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. George

The proceeds are to go toward the
purchase of a piano for Calvary
church. The public is cordially invi
ted to attend.
Ravening Teeth Threaten Two Tod
dling Red Ridinghoods.
To keep the wolf rrcm the door
around which he very suddenly and
unexpectedly began to prowl, Mrs.
Brooks recently, of St. Louis. Mo., will
be glad to take in sewing. There are
two tots, one of five years and the
other of two months, who must be
defended in some way from the sharp
teeth of that ravening tooth. Mrs.
Brooks lives upstairs over Lentz's
store on North Tryon street. A tale
of tragedy could be unfolded as to why
the wolf lurks about this threshold
but that would wound the sensibilities
of a refined nature. Bring work, not
alms, please.
VICTIM OF DRINK NEEDS ORRINE
Drink cunningly destroys the will
power, and while the drunkard wants
to do what you tell him, he wants a
thousand times more the drink that
lie craves. Medical treatment is ne
cessary. Orrine will destroy the de
sire for liquor, so that the drink
will not be missed and restores the
Ijatient to health.
The remedy is thoroughly scientific
and is so uniformly successful that
it is sold with a registered guarantee
to refund your money if it. fails to
effect a cure. Booklet "How to Cure

Close and Exciting Game Friday Night
is Expected.
That the basketball game Friday
night at the local Young Alen's Chris
tion Asociation will be a very close
and exciting one there is but little
doubt. The teams to play at that time
are the fast aggregation from Davidson
and the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. team.
This season Davidson has been playing
seme of the strongest teams -in the
South and this week alone they are
scheduled to play three games, one
with Wake Forest, one with Trinity,
and the third with the local team.
With such experience as meeting these
big teams away from home gives
them they ought to put up a star game
and no doubt they will. The game
will be called promptly at 8:30 o'clock
CONFERENCE POSTPONED.
Board of Aldermen to Meet This After

The conference meeting of the board

of town the time of meeting cannot
yet be definitely announced.
Mayor Franklin has called a special
meeting of the board of aldermen for
this afternoon at five o'clock. They
will meet in executive session for the
purpose of discussing the charter, now
that both sides cf the matter has been
heard, and ai living at some definite
opinion among themselves.
