The Bute Will Ask For A Verdict In the First Degree. A two weeks term of Craven county Superior Court for tha. trial-of both criminal and civil cases was eonvenrd in th's city yesterday morning - with Judge Howard A Foushee, of Durham presiding; At the opening of the day's session the Grand ury was drawn: T. G, Hyraan, foreman, I, A Phillips, Isac Lewis, J. B. Puffy, J. L. Booth, . A. Banks, S. E, Ewell, W. D. Reg. ister, E. J. Goodwip, C. H. Had lock, A. W. Conner, G. W. McGowan, M. L. Jacobs, B. E. Dudley, Week Ipock, H. S. Hancock, G. G. Morris, L. H. Hardi- son. In his charge to the Grand Jury Judga Fouhe fully covered the criminal law and told them the duties of the Grand Juryman in bringing the criminals to justice. His charge consumed a little more than an hour. During the early part of the day several minor cases were disposed of. Late in the afternoon th case of the State vs. Baker Bryan, in which the defendent is charged with murder ng young Wm. Avery in this city on Christ mas night, was called. Bryan was brought into court and arrainged. Messrs, Moore and Dunn, one of the law firms representing ths defendant, made a motion that the first bill of in- dicment which had been brought in dur ing' the early part of the day, be quash ed on the ground that it was unconsti tutional, due to the fact that one of the members of the Grand Jury had been d awn through an error, he answering to the nam) of another person. This motion w'a granted. A second bill had been brought in later and Messrs, Moore & Dunn also made a motion' that this bill should be quashed on the aame grounds. However this motion was denied. Bryan then plaed not gu'lty to a charge of rourd r in the first degree. A special venire of two hundred men was then drawn and the case set for Thursday rrorning, 5 Bryan is repres ent d by Messrs. Moore & Dunn and Guion & Goion whilaloltcitor Abernathy is being assisted by Mr. D. E. Hender son. Quite a large number of witnesses hove been summoned and there will pro bably be- some sensational develop ments. Much interest has been mani fested in this case since the beginning and there is not the least doubt but that the court room will be crowded all during thi trial. The following cases were dispiaed of during the day: State vs. John Couicil, charged with abandonment. The defendent plead guil'y and was sentenced to a term of 4 m in ths on the county roads. Slate vs. Patsy Williams and Ortie Threadgill, charged with f. and a., jury returned a verdict of not guilty. State vs Marial Bryan, charged with keeping a dinreputable houaa. Jury returned a vr rdlct of guilty. Sentence not yet passed. T. H. Will Not Declare Himself in Hace but He's Bunnlng Just the Bame. Philadolphl. Pa..

Fire of an unknown origin almost completely gutted the Stewart building on Middle street at an early hour last Sunday morning entailirg a loss of about 140,900 with about $25,0 0 insur ance. The blaze was first discovered about seven o'clock by police officer Fred Rowe, Just a short while prior to that he had passed by the building and had noticed nothing unusual. He rushed to the fire alarm box at the corner of S'juth Front and Middle stree's and at tempted to turn in the alarm, however, the bell only tapped one time, but the indicator registered and the fire compa niea were soon on the scene. Officer Rowe, after attempting to turn in the alarm, ran back to the build ing for the purpose of saving anything of value which he could. On the sec ond floor of the building were several rooms that were used for living purpn ses, two of these were occupied by Mr. H I. Crumpler. city editor of the Jour nal, and hi wife. So thick was the smoke on the interior of the building that it had penetrated into their living rooms and almost suffocated them. Of ficer Rowe bursted in one of the doors and succeeded in awakening them. They hud barejy time to don a few clothes and save a few of their person al effect? before the smoke compelled them to leave the building. The fire originated in the rear of Mr George Adler's store and working i n way upward burned through the floe and walls of the second story just un derneath the section occupied by the Southern Shorthand and Business Col lege. So dense was the smoke in this section that the firemen who were be ing assisted by the crew of the Reve nue Cutter "Pamlico" could rot get a line of hose to the blaze for some time. However, several streams were finally directed toward the seat of the flame and it was kept from advancing further toward the front of the building. The fire finally reached the roof of the build ing in the rear and it fell with a crash, carrying with it the second story floor and all of the parephanalia of the Busi ness College. In the meantime a num ber of streams of water which was be ing thrown by the two engines flooded the remainder of the building. On the lower floor, just across the hallway from Mr. Adler's store was located Mrs. B. A. Irving'a millinery store and the office of the Singer Sewing Ma chine Company. Practically all of the contents or these two stores were re moved but much of this had beeniuind by water. Mrs. Irving is out of the city, and the lady who waa in charge of ths store stated that she did not know whether there was any insurance on the stock. Whether thoie was a iv insurance on the stock of th Singer Sewing Machine Company couid not be atated by the local manager. Jusl abo?e these two Stores wss located Mr. W. Stewart's officss. The contents of these two offices were badly dam aged by water. Mr. AtUer claims that his stock was worth $12,010 and be carried about R,- 000 Insurance. Neither Mr Crumuler or tha managers of the Business Col lege carrlad any insurance on their property. The Business College esti mates their loaa at 12,000, while Mr. Crampler'a loaa waa about $50 Tha building was valued at 126,000 and it is eaiimated that tha damage amounts to about $15,000 with about $7,500 insur ance.
