" t Sad Tragedy at Wilson.
.: Wilson, Dec. 15 The tragic death of
Rttle Henry Groves Connor, the 11-year-old
son of Representative' George W.
Connor, has caused a gloom to spread
over the city of Wilson. , Little Henry
died in the hospital here yesterday at-,
ternoon as a' result of the wound' s
cidentally received Sunday afternoon
from a gun in his own hands.
Sunday : - afternoon ; while ' . Masters
Henry Groves Connor, and hia cousin,
Harvey McNatr, were at play in. the
upper story of the Connor residence on
North Goldsboro street, what proved
a most sad tragedy occurred.
The- boys were plundering in the
drawers of a bureau when Henry
Groves came across an old unloaded
pistol that had not been used for ten
years;, scattered In the drawer were
a number of cartridges. He caught
up the pistol and proceeded to load
It, when Harvey ran from the room
but returned in a few moments, just Judicial district were argued In the su
ln time to see his cousin . trying, to ' preme court today, of these, by far
break the pistol, presumably to draw the most interesting was the case of
the load. Quick as a flash a report State vs. Henry Bronner and Merritt
rang out, a scream was heard and the: Beck, an appeal from Swain county,
young man fell weltering in his blood. ! It will be remembered that this case
The ball entered, his left side just be
low the' ribs and passed through the
body perforating the bowels.
The frightened family was .soon by
the side, of their loved one, when the
ball was found lodged in his cloth
ing. The boy's grandfather, Justice H.
O. Connor, of the supreme court of
North Carolina, at Raleigh, was ap
prised of the accident and is In Wll
son with the heart-broken family.
The entire community is saddened by
the awful accident and its fatal re
sult. '..'.
. Quakers in High Point.
High Point, DeCi-lfr The customs-of
worship among the Quakers fifty years
ago were illustrated ' at a most un
usual meeting of Quakers, known as
Wilburlte'B Conservatives, at the
m-lends" church - last evening; ;Mr.
Thomas Davidson',, of England, 'and
others from Canada and New York
brought interesting mesages from Eng
land. Canada and the United States.
The customs of the Quakers when they
I wore the pioneer hat and bonnet and
Praved and Poached, during services,
as tne spirit moved, without formality,
attracted no little notice.
Woman and Three Children Gone.
, Maysvllle, Dec. 15.-The whole com
munity seems shocked over the absence
of Mrs. H. A. Cox and three children,
who disappeared very mysteriously
' yesterday afternoon. . Mr. Cox knows
nothing concerning their whereabouts
and is unablu to uccount for their dis
appearance, unless brought . about by
her brother, who has been louflng here
for several days.
Verdict in Favor of Plaintiff.
Wilmington, Dec. 15 In the case of
the: Murchlson National Bank vs. the
Dunn Oil Mills Company and J.'' D.
Barnes, the jury rendered a verdict
Saturday in fuvor ' of the plaintiff,
awarding the bank $5,000 with Interest
at 6 per cent, from December 29, . 1905.
Messrs. J. C. Clifford, of Dunn, and
John D. Bellamy, both counsel for .the
defendants, argued- strongly that the
verdict be set aside and a new trial
be- ordered. One of the points raised
by Mr. Bellamy was that Mr. Sam
Bear, a member of the jury,- was a
stockholder In the. Murchispn National'
Bank. and therefore disqualified to. act
as a juror. This point had been raised
before .the taking, of evidence begun,
but Judge , Lyon held ' that . It was a
discretionary matter and that Mr. Bear
, was qualified, after Mr. Bear; had ex
pressed himself that he would act, ac
cording to the evidence of course re
gardless of his connection with? the
bank, but stated further that he did not
want to do Jury duty.' ';
f Mr. J. O, Carr, counsel for the bank,
, resisted the motion and Judge Lyon
refused 'to set the verdict aside. . The
defense then appealed to the supreme
court. , , ' ; -y v . ;..

UN INTERESTING CASE
INTuESUBPBElCOiT
Several : cases from the sixteenth
aroused considerable interest at. the
time it was tried. . Judge Peebles, who
tried the case, held that ,Sunday. school
was not "divine worship" within the
meaning of the statute providing pun
ishment for the, disturbance of wor
ship. Various church people violently
attacked . Judge Peebles in. the papers
and elsewhere for this decision.
In the case on appeal, the solicitor,
Mr. T. D. Brysan,, stutes the case in
this way: -
"This was an indictment under sec
tion 3708 of -Revisal, as will appear
from the bill ot indictment tried at said
term of said court by Peebles, judge,
and a Jury. - ,
"The defendants pleaded guilty, and
on hearing the evidence it appeared
that the disturbance complained of oc
curred at a Sunday school held at
Bradley's Chupul, in Swuin county.
Said chapel was a church used for
preaching, but there was no preach
ing to be had there that duy.
"The court, being of the opinion
that there was a fatal variance be
tween the allegations and the proof,
ordered the plea of guilty stricken out
and defendants discharged. To this
the state excepted and appealed to the
supreme court."
.In the uble briefs of counsel the
question as to Sunday school being
divine worship,' is ably dlscusBed. The
defendants are representeu by Shep
herd and Shepherd, of this city, and
their contention, fullv upheld by au
thorities cited, is as follows:
"The defendants bubmlt that there
Is a fatal variance between the bill
of Indictment and the proof; and that
the evidence does not make out the
case under the sVatuto.
"The statute does not protect every
religious body or meeting, but those
only which have met for the purpjKic
of divine worship. Though Sunday
school may be a rcllglouB body and
may engage in forms of worship, yet
It cannot be said thai they, ure as
sembled for the purpose of divine wor.
ship.".
The state was represented by As
sistant Attorney-General Hayden
Clement and J. W. Bailey, of this city.
