SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Starbuck's Charge to the
Grand Jury Much Com
plimented. Wake country superior rriininit
ourt conrened in the court house this
morning at 10.30 o'clock, judge Star
bock presidiug. The eonrt was
crowded, the judge being the attrac
tion, on account of his politics and of
his eitreme yontbfulness, for he is
only 215 years old. Those, however,
and there were some of them, who
went in the hop of seeing any sign of
weakness or lack of ability in the
youthful judge, were disappointed.
On the contrary judge Starbuck
created an exceedingly favorable im
pression, both by his bearing on the
bench and by his very clever charge
to the grand jury. "He is a brainy
young man," was the generally ex
pressed opinion of him. His oharge,
which was quite lengthy, was clear,
concise and showed that judge Star
buck is a man in measuring whose
ability the voters who elected him
made no mistake.
The court wis taken np, nearly
during the whole day, with routine
work. In the morning Wimberly was
arraigned and an order given for a
special venire of 100 men to be sum
moned. The precaution was also made
of having the men drawn from the
southern part of the country, as far
as possible from the scene of the mur
der with which he is charged. Mr. A.
W. Moye, than whom there is no
better, abler or gentlemanly official
anywhere, was sworn in by judge
Starbuck as deputy clerk. The fol
lowing is a list of the members of the
grand jury : Geo. F. Kennedy, fore
man; G. B. Norwood, Alfred Powell,
J. H. Jones; H. B. Olive, R. V. Bag
well, B. T. Hunnicutt, R. J. Whitley,
J. A. Gilbert, John Jinks, R. C. Hop

rough. Death of of Mr. B. L. Perry.
Mr. Benjamin Leecraft Perry, an
estimable and popular gentleman,
died late Saturday afternoon at his
borne on West Morgan street. He
came here last September in feeble
health. Heart disease and dropsy
caused his death. He was 53 years
old, was born in Beaufort, graduated
with distinction at the state univer
sity and was a gallant soldier. He
was proprietor of the Purcell house at
Wilmington for some time, and for
two seasons past of the Atlantic hotel.

May Sue for Libel.
A. E. Johnson, a prominent col
ored lawyer and republican, who, with
others, was severely attacked in a card
signed by fifty republicans, was seen
by a Vihitob reporter this morning in
regard to what action, if any, would
be taken towards prosecuting the
author of the circular. He said that he
was positive that Rev. R.H. Leak was the
man but that the evidence he now had
was indirect and would not authorize
prosecution. He said that, after ev
ery man whose name was signed to the
circular had denied authorizing its
use, he had gone to Barnes Bros., who
printed the circular, and asked who
had given it to them. He was inform
ed that Leak had first called and
spoken of having the article printed
but that the man who actually brought
the "copy" was unknown to them.
Mr. Johnson will try to get further
and more direct evidence, but, may, if
be is unable to do so, bring sait any
how. Was it a Ghost?
Saturday night a colored girl who
works at the residence of Mr. Julian
Timberlake on Blount street created a
great excitment by screaming in fear
that I a burglar was in the house.
The girl was alone at the time, the
family having none out, and when the
crowd drawn by her screams arrived,
announced that a bold, bad man bad
looked in tne window at ner. A po
liceman had also arrived in the mean
time and he made a thorough investi
gation without, however, finding any
burglar. The girl was finally pacified,
the crowd dispersed and quiet reign
ed again. The girl was positive in
her statement but was uncertain
whether the man she saw was a real
man or a ghost. Now the question is,
which was it?

James Hannah Is a " Scrapper "
of the First Water.
James Hannah, a who works at the
electric lighting plant, went out yes
terday afternoon for a stroll. While
engaged in this occupation he met
Joseph Johnson and three ether men,
all operatives in the Caraleigh mills.
Pleasantries were exchanged and then
words followed that were not quite so
pleasant. Finally Hannah and one of
tbem became engaged in a scrap and,
it is said, the man attempted to use
brass knacks. Hannah snatched the
weapon from his opponent and sailed
in to do up the crowd. What cared
he that the odds were four to one ?
He tackled first one and then the oth
ers. They fought and ' kicked and
scuffled and tore up the earth while a
crowd of enthusiastic spectators look
ed on and cheered and cherred. The
fun lasted over fifteen minutes and
when it was over the mill hands look
ed as though they had been dragged
through some of the machinery they
work with.
Mr. Hannah made his escape as the
victors in such contests generally do,
but the mill hands fell into the hands
of the police. The trial was called
this morning before mayor Badger
but no Hannah appeared. He had
made good his'escape. The gentlemen
with whom he fought are in a batter
ed condition but none are seriously
hurt. The trial is called for tomor
row and will be heard then, provided
Mr, Hannah is caught. It is said
that all the parties engaged, had been
drinking heavily.
