N WHICH BOTH SIDES WON.

Both sides seem to have won in the
Bank of New Hanover case.
The attorneys for the plaintiff say
they are satisfied with the state Of
affairs. and are confident that when
the case comes before the Court of
Appeals the land in litigation viii be
given to Cook.
The attorneys for the defendant say
Judge Seymout's decision was VIC
tory for them.
Mr.. Il. 0. Burton, one of the attor-
neys for the defense, said yesterday:
Judge Seymour decided that the
agreement between the bank and
Adrian a. Nollers not to register the
mortgage unles ii became necessary to
save the bank, made the mortgage
deed fraudulent, in law, whether there
was any intent to defraud or not. But
he did not decide this point definitely.
He did decide that the plaintiff got no
title by the execution sale, and could
not maintain the action. And the
Court of Appeals will sustain him in
the decision. The deed not fraudu-
lent and we are going to hold the fort
And yet Judge Russell said yesterday
that the plaintiff was confident of
winning the case in the Court of
Appeals.

DANCE ENDED III A FIGHr.
A Merry Party in the Old PeniteniiaTl
Quarters Broken UP by a Cnttirf
EcraDe.

There was a lively dance at the old
penitentiary quarters, just the other
side of Walnut creek, Thursday night,
\ number of merFy-makers gathered
there and had jolly good time until
near midnight. The refreshments are
said to have been mainly of a liquid
nature, something like the article that
Lambeth sold at such bargain-counter
prices.
When the dancing was at its height,
the festivities were suddenly broken
off by an old-fashioned row.
Frank johnson and Aiken Wyatt got
into a controversy over some money
matters. Soon the discussion warm
ed up, and the words came like hot
shot out Of a cannon
After considerable wordfencing
Johnson presented Myatt with sur
prise in the shape of a blow that threw
the hit man TO the floor. Wyatt drew
his knife and cut Johnson in two
places. They were soon separated. 1t
was found that Johnson had been cut
in the side and on the arm. lie is not
seriously wounded.
This incident threw a damper on the
party, and it was not long before the
crowd put on their coats and wraps,
and left for home.

PINES.

DR. h. Won Herff, American agent
OF the German Kali works, who was
for some time connected with the
North Carolina experiment station,
passed through here yesterday after
noon on his way to Southern Pines,
where he is largely interested in fruit
growing. He says that there are more
people at the Pines now than ever be-
fore at this season. Southern Pines

THE REQUIsITIoN REFUSED.

Governor Carr refused the applica-
ton for a requisition on the governor
of Alabama for George Lambeth, the
absconding whislley dealer, on the
ground that the crime charged was
not eXtraditable.
\ case for false pretense has been
made up, and the Governor will be ask
ed to issue requisition to have him
brought back to the State and tried on
this charge.
Lambeth is said to have left the town
in which ne was located night before
last, and it is feared that he will get
away before he can be beached by re-
QUESTION.
Ten barrels of whiskey have been
seized in Montgomery, Alabama, on an
allotment from N. M. Uri and Co.
This will more than cover their claim
against Lambeth. The news of the
seizeure was received by their repre-
sentative. r. l., Prempert. yesterday

VERDICT FOR EDWARDS AND
BR0UGHTON.

In the Federal court yesterday the
case of 4. w. Shaffer VS.. Edwards and
Broughton was tried. Col. Shaffer
sued Edwards and Brougton for al
legged infringement of the copyright
ON MS map of Raleigh made some
years ago. Edwards and Broughton
Published a map of the city in one OF
their publications. TO keep from in
fringing on the copyright of Col. Shat
fer. they had Mr.. +. C.. Harris to make
the map from original surveys and
drawings. In making the map he
used Chase's Atlas. Shaffer had
bought out the map used in the atlas.
But in the atlas the map was not copy
righted, and therefore Mr.. Harris had
the right to use it as he saw fit.
This ease has been in the court for
some time. At the civil term of the
court before this, the jury brought in
verdict of mot guilty" but the
Judge set the verdict aside.
The verdict yesterday stands, and
the case is settled in favor of Edwards
and BToughton.

THE ASSIGNMENT CASES.
Solicitor Pou and Judge Mclver Acted
With Perfect Fairness--A Republican
Who Dipped Into the Why and Where
fore

Solicitor Pou was unintentionalIy
misquoted by press correspondent a
few days ago. He was asked regard
ing the article printed in the News and
Observer calling on him to prosecute
the members of the committee on en-
rolled bills that signed the report on
tile assignment act. The press tele-
gram quoted him as saying that the
members of the Legislature could only
be reached by Impeachment, and the
power 10 impeach rested with the body
of which they were members.
Solicitor Pou said to a reporter yes
terday: What / did say was this:
That. in my opinion, members OF the
Legislature may not be Indicted Tor
negligence, but may be prosecuted for
violation OF the criminal law of the
State. That for willful negligence Of
their duty they could be expelled from
the body 10 which they belong, but
the courts of the State have no jnris-
diction Of the latter offense.'
Even the most partisan friends OF
Messrs. Satterfield and Brown have
nothing to say against the manner IN
which the ease was conducted IN me
Superior court Both the defendants
seem to think they were fairly treated
by the court, and they say that Solici-
tor Pon was fair-minded and above
board iii the prosecution.
The jury in both cases was com
posed of both Democrats and Fusion
lists, and on the jury in the Brown case
there was a colored man.
A story is being told about this
same colored member of the jury II
is said that a well-known Republican
walked up to him and asked him why
he had voted in the jury to declare Mr..
Brown guilty of corrupt intent. The
coIored iuryman is said TO have re-
piled: "You know, sir, when we went
into dat box we were swore, and took
an oath to decide according to the evi-
deuce. And when they asked Mr. Brown
where was that receipt book, and he
said he left it at home because his law
yer told him To leave it, looks mighty
careful at Mr.. Brown, and ] knowed
right then he was guilty" And the
local politician didn't pursue the sub
iect further.

An escaped lunatic from the asylum
at Raleigh, named Chambers, reached
Hillsboro last Monday night, says the
Hillsboro Observer. He couldn't tell
when he left Raleigh, nor how he got
here. He got Mr.. Smith, one OF the
operators at the depot, to telegraph to
DR.. Kirby informing him of Chambers
arrival here. DR.. Kirby Immediately
autographed back asking the town au-
thorities to take care of Mr. Chambers
and he would send after him at once.
This was done, as requested, and Stew
ard Crawford, of the asylum, came to
Hillsboro Tuesday morning and took
Mr.. Chambers back TO Raleigh on the

CARRIED TO DURHAM.

Mrs. Emma Davis was carried to
Durham by deputy sheriff yesterday
afternoon. She was arrested under a

yicted of some offense at recent term
of Durham county court, and judg-
ment was suspended on payment of
the costs. She then came to Raleigh
to live, and, it seems, never paid the
costs. She was carried back to Dur
