Five True Bills For Various OHenses
Returned.

Returned.
The grand jury held a session yesterday
afternoon for the continuation of criminal
business.
True bills were found in the following
cases: Morgan Shaddrick, larceny after
trust; Joseph Yonnis, harboring stolen
goods; James Smith, burglary; George
Moesner. burglary; Sam Fraser, larceny
after trust.
The grand jury also had in hand several
other criminal cases.
The five cases against Justice John Fitz-
gerald of the Fourth militia district were
nolle pressed by the court yesterday. 1t
will be remembered that John Fitzgerald
as a justice of the peace, was charged by
the last grand jury with malpractice in
office. 1t was held that he had been guilty
of the charge of arresting people when
they were not guilty of the charges
brought out in the open court. He was
tried under the charge of malpractice and
there was a mistrial. After that he sent
his resignation in to the governor, and
the solicitor general went before the grand
jury, which had indicted him, and asked
if the resignation would be all that was
necessary in the punishment of
assured him that in so far as their work
was concerned they only wanted to rid
the office Of the irregular practices which
had been committed in the office. In this
way he was allowed to resign. There are.
other cases of q similar nature to be-
brought up for trial against other justices
of the peace whose offices are now va
cant. The present grand jury has rec
commended Mr.. Joseph Saussy. Jr., az the
man to fill the vacancy of Justice Fitz-
gerald, and he has been nominated before
the governor 1t is probable that the
confirmation viii be sent down from the
department of state within the next few
days.
The city court spent the day with the
criminal docket. The only cases of inter-
est were those of Oscar Hicks, who had
deprived a man of his pocket book, and
was sentenced TO twelve months in the
chain-gang. Since 1898 oscar has spent
three and half years In the chain-gang.
He is an old acquaintance of the city
court. and. therefore, when he was sem
fenced to twelve months service in the
chain-gang he simply said: 81 thank you.
jedge, for not making il any more" He
was used to the penalty and had no COM
plant TO make.
Louis Henderson, another old acquant-
auce of the city court, was brought out
and sent W TO service on the chain-gang
for taking things that did not belong to
him.
A suit for 5000 damages. personal in

against the Plant system. 1t Is charged

WHY NOT!

/uIge, onc of the comic weeklies Of
New York, printed in its last issue
cartoon that is both suggestive and
instructive. In the foreground is John
Ball, bearing the murderous Turk in
his arms, and scowlng at Cretan
Christian. In the background Uncle
Sam stands contemplative, making
this remark: "And this is the man
thai wants me to sign an arbitration
treaty.
1t would be hard to say nov it
Glanced that such happy pictorial
representation found its way into a
weekly printed in quarter where all
the fllmham arguments in favor of the
specific terms Of the proposed treaty
have originated.
The situation in Crete is SO remark
able that the government Of the United
States would be justified in taking off
clal CognizanCe thereof. Great Brit
ain, aided and abe,ted by the great
nations of Europe, has not only abso-
lutel refused to prevent the Turks
from massacrelng the Christians in
Crete, has not only absolutely refused
to permit Greece to land reinforce
ments, but has now instituted a COM
merclal blockade Of the Cretan ports,
and is now engaged in starving the
Christians into surrendering to their
oppressors. The Turks can receive
food, supplies and reiniorcemen,s, but
the Christians cannot.
And this revolving crime Of the ma
tons, led by Great Britain, is per
mlt,ed and justified by the fact that
the English branch of the Rothschlds
own about 100000, 900 of Ottoman
bonds. This is Lord Salisbury's just-
tlcatlon. He has publicly declared
that the British government, as it
stands, cares nothing for patriotism
or Christianity, but everything for the
finaClal interests of its citizens.
Jn4ges cartoon becomes significant
when we remember these things and
behold the spectacle presented by
Great Britain, spectacle which has
excited the contemp, of all homes,
Britons and which threatens to over
throw the Salisbury government
Under all the circumstances, we
think it would be we'll for the Senate
using It's discretion, to lay the treaty
aside until the result of Great Britain's
anti Chriatian campaign is made man

VISIT OF THE NEW JERSEY Ed

.Apropos of the visit of party OF
New Jersey editors to North Carolina

The chief topic Of talk in newspaper
circles is the excursion down the Sea
board Ar Line, which the New Jersey
editors are to make next week. There
is general feeling that some OF them
will gam some new ideas Of the South.
The immense and universal interest IN
the South and especially in that part
Of 1t traversed by tie oeabOard Ar
Line, is remarkable. Thousands Of
settlers have gone there IN the past
fer ears and the reports they have
sent II their friends have created an
interest nigh on TO excitement. The
interest in the South IS an agreeable
sign Of the advance Of civilization. The

representation Of Southern affairs has

been banished entirely by most North

in Philadelphia, and the interest that
is taken in the paper is among the
pleasantest signs Of the times.

 William Glass is white man and was fined sum total of sS0 yesterday morn ing, which means sixty days in the mines.
 Alex Gilbert, the other one, is a negro and has to work out a fine of $40 and thirty days, which amounts to about no days It is safd that he went into a weman's house and broke open her trunk. When she objected he assaulted her and caused lamp to explode, which badly burned the woman's arm. The testimony was rather interesting and racy. Another case awaits him when he serves his present.fin
 Another convict will probably be sent around today unless a fine of $50 and thirty days Is paid. This means 1S0 days for the unfortunate

The few remaining faithful fans who delight to live over again in reminscence the good old days when Birmingham was in the league, are jub!lantly talking about the excellent achievement of Martin Mo Donald, the little left-handed pitcher of the locals last year.
 Last Saturday afternoon the Zanesville, O.. team journeyed to Chattanooga and played game in that city. McDorald pitched for the latter team and won out by score of 1 to 0. People who saw the game say it was an excellent exhibi- tion of the national sport and that Nc Donald was fnVincible.
 The sport will be sadly missed this summer and some of the lovers of the game will go to other cities whenever an opportunity affords them to see a good exhibition
