When court convened this morning the Wimbeily case was again taken up The crowd was not so large as yester day for the testimony was practically com-liided; there was nothing to appeal to the morbid mind of the sensation mor-r; the ghastly tale of the repul sive Mills bad been told; Wimberly and Mrs. Wimberly and Savannah Wimberlyjhad all related their tale of horror and disgrace; now the argu ment was to begin, on which depends to the greatest extent the jury's ver diot. While the throng in the court room and within the bar was not so large, yet the people who gathered there were more intelligent and came for a higher purpose, to listen to an able and learned and eloquent dis course on the law. When the court convened what was the surprise of those present when it was announced that the jury 'had been given a newspaper to read; a paper in which the trial was fully re ported. On investigation this was found to be true. The officer in charge, O. W. Belvin, had this morn ing given the jury a copy of today's News aud Observer. It was an awful break aud if Mitts is found guilty his counsel will hare excellent grounds on which to base a motion for a new trial. The jury was questioned and it was ascertained that one of them, dipt. R B. Burwell, had read the Observer's account of the trial. It was an unfor tunate occurrence but it cobld not be helped; the trial was proceeded with. Mrs. Wimberly was called by the de fense and identified the balmoral, which was' introduced in court, which lana had on when she was murdered. Solicitor Pou on cross-examination started to question the witness about a conversation she had with Dr. Cot- ten, concerning her daughter's condi tion, but was interrupted by Mr. Bus bee's objection. The judge sustained Mr. Busbee. Solicitor Pou called Dr. Gotten and, after a sharp legal "spat," he was allowed to testify as to the con versation. Then argument was commenced, so licitor Pou opening. He must, siagle- handed, fight with argument both Mr. Busbee and Mr. Purnell. In order, therefore, to give them as little advan tage as possible he made a very shor; speech. He referred eloquently to the horrible nature of the crime; h) lashed Wimberly unmercifully and denounced him in the strongest terms, showing how unnatural and pregnant with guilt was his conduct when the bloody murderer of his child returned to the house; he showed that Mills' testimony had been corroborated by other witnesses and said that, throw fug out Mills' testimony, the jury would still have evidence enough to return a verdict of , guilty. His argument, short, to th point, and necessarily 'meager, was nevertheless a skillfully delivered and powerfil one.' ,'.'' Mr. Purnell then addressed tht jury. His argument Is invariably ac dresied entirely to the jury and is rnely eloquent but it i just this quiet, unassuming, forceful talk that influences a juty most. He devoted himself almost entirely to-Mills' testimony. He succeeded better than any one expected. ; A feature of hie argument was the presentation of eleven points in Mills' testimony which were contradicted by evidence. After Mr. Purnell concluded the court took a recess until 2:30 o'clock. When it met again Mr. Busbee com menced his argument. When he con eluded Mr. Pou began his argument proper. Both were abje and excel lently delivered and the Visitor re grets that it has not the space to pub lish a summary of them.; The Cotillion German. The germaa given last evening by the Carolina cotillion club was in every way an enjoyable affair. Twenty six couples and a dozen stags partlcipa ted in the danoing which was kept up until a late hour.. The german was skilfully led by Mr. Armistead Cow ard with Miss Kate Prescott. The next club german will be given Feb ruary 23. ANOTHER WRECK. On The S. A. L.-A Rear End Collision. This morning at Wake Forest a bd reareud collision occurred between two freight trains. No deaths or se rious injuries resulted but the wreck was a very damaging aui expensi one, a large freight engine and sever al cars being totally wrecked. As usual in soch cases railroad pen- j pie k iow none of the particular . They admitted that there bad been a wreck- nt that was all. From out side ttur however, it was learned that lue wreck was between two freights, one coming towards Raleigh and due here this morning at 5:40 and the other which left Raleigh at 5 o'clock. I'be wreck was caused by a misplaced switch ; one freight was standing on a siding and the other, the switch be ing misplaced, dashed rapidly into the caboose. The conductor was in the caboose when the accident oc curred but had a miraculous escape. The engine telescoped the caboose and wrecked two of the cars and was almost totally demolished. The engineer escaped with a severe cut on the head and the fireman escaped un iujured. Florida, on Wheels. The Florida car, which is now at the Michigan Ceutral depot, has been visited by many Ann Arborites today, all of whom haveexpressed themselves as highly pleased with the visit. It is certainly the finest car ever seen in Ann Arbor and the exhibitions are well worthy a visit. Ann Arbor, Mich., paper. This wonderful car will exhibit in Raleigh, Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18th and 19 h.at the Southern railway depot.from 0 a. m. to 9 p. m. THE WEATHER. The Conditions and the Fore cast. For North Carolina: Fair and warmer. - Local forecast for Raleigh and vicinity: Fair, warmer. Local data for 24 hours- ending at 8 a. m. today: Maximum temperature 50; minimum temperature 28; rainfall o.oo. ; High pressure, with fair and mild weather, prevails over the southern and middle states. As yet . there has scarcely any rain or snow fallen, but the weather is getting cloudy west of the Mississippi and the temperature is rising. The temperature at 8 a.m. as Kansas City was 50 degrees, which means warm weather in the Atlantic states for a few days. Florida on Wheels. : The visitor will be astonished to learn what a school of information concerning the land of flowers this " rolling palace" is. The car affords one of the most complete exhibitions of the kind ever shown by any state. Asbuelot, Mass., Herald; This wonderful car will exhibit in Raleigh, Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18th and 19th, at the Southern railway depot, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. in. Florida on Wheels. It is worth a visit and the price of travel. Danbury News. This wonderful cav will exhibit in Raleigh Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18th and 19th at the Southern railway depot from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Some time ago a man went to the house of a Raleigh gentleman and said he wanted to examine the lights. He went over the whole house. The gentleman who knew nothing of the man, had an investigation made. The man was arrested and on his person was found a complete map of the 'house made, presumably, for burglary purposes. He was warned to leave ..town and left. . TroyN. C, is soon to have a news paper.

Prominent men will be at the helm. A gentleini.u tells the Visitor that the temperance bill to be introduced in the legislature '' will pass. This may be so but . Some people complain that the 8 reet cars run too rapidly but then some people can't be pleased. Fast running is necessary to keep up con nections. A bill was introduced in the house yesterday by a fusion member to take away from .the supreme court the right to appoint its reporter and to provide for the election of the lattt-r by the legislature. The annual meeting of the Walter Wooible hook and ladder company was held last evening. The following officers were elected: W. W. Parrish, foreman; L. C. Weathers, assistant foreman; J. H. Correll, secretary; W S. Dtley, treasurer. Deputy J. Wiley Jones has a Wake county seizure to report to collector Simmons. The still was situated near Wyatt's mills and was a small affair 25-gallon capacity. The supposed owner is Alaxander Blalock. Nine dollars for the Nebraska suf ferers was contributed today by the bands at the Re)eigh cotton mills, an'1 was turned over to the committee by treasurer Wynne. ''What will you represent at the fancy ball?" is the firs-, salutation with which Raleigh's young ladies greet each other now. The managers of the ball say that enthusiasm is be ing manifested and that the costumes reported are unique and exceedingly "fancy." The ball will be given on Tuesday evening next. The management of the last state fair has never yet paid, or even pub lished, any of the. premiums. The Visitor's partial list, published last October, was the only information the public has bad about the premiums. If the fair management is unable to pay, the persons, who won the prizes, should certainly be given credit for doing so. .'.';.. Doesn't it seem that Raleicrh rather too large a place to tolerate such country town performances as the great hubbwb daily heard on streets when a horse sale is in the pro err ess? Besides being unworthy of the city-the praotice is dangerous. Only this morning a gentleman same very near being fan down by a f right- eaea Horse on Ksyettefille street. WAKE COUNTY Institutions, Say the Grand Jury are Excellently Man aged. Yesterday moruing the grand jury drawn for this term of court, filed into the court room to make their re port. After the usual routine of true bills, Ac, the jury made their report on Wake county institutions.

The jury visited the convict quarters at the fair grounds, under the control of Mr. W. C. Mc Maukin, and reported that they, also, were kept in perfect order and that the prisoners were contented and all said that they received the kindest treat meiit. In their report of their condition of the county home for the aged and in firm, the jury especially complimen ted Mr. Allen, the superintendent, foi the ability, wisdom and kindness h has shown in the management of that nstitution. They found the inmates well cared for in all respects, well fed, well clothed and happy. The jury reported that they found the home self supporting, to a great extent.
