The series of accidents near the
station, due to the projecting girders
ever the street intersections, has
caused a great deal OF comment on
the part of citizens, especially since
the third accident happened. There
is a general agreement that the CIR
ders should not be allowed to remain
a threat against the life and limb of
travellers and trainmen. but there are
various views as to where the respon-
sibility for the danger and accidents
rests. There are some who would not
be surprised to see suit brought
against the city for 100000 to $4,000
on account of these accidents. on ac-
count of the fact that when the coun-
ell refused to let the railway company
put pillars in the street in lieu of the
Orders, the responsibility for acct
dents caused by the girders was shift
ed TO the city.

'Steam Roller Could Not be Got Out
of Grounds at City Hail..

An effort was made to get the
Isteam road roller out of the grounds
lat the city hall yesterday, but was
unsuccessful. a new steam chest has
been recently put on the engine and
it was thought that this was all it
needed, bu There is something else
wrong. To have heard the engine
one would have thought it was
making fast speed, but it was stand
ing stock still, putting and hat was
all. This roller has been standing in
the rear of the city hall for nearly
two years and yesterday was the first
attempt during that time TO get it on
the streets
1t is to hoped hat the aldermen
will not wait until this roller is in
running order before they have the
work begun paving Market street.

THE OIL MILL.
Charter Granted Yesterday To the
Union Oil and Fertilizer Co.

a charter was granted yesterday to
the Union Oil and Fertilizer Com
pany with Messrs. w. E.. and G. w.
Worth as in~corporators. The author
lied capital stock is $4,000, with the
privilege of increasing it to $500, 900.
This company was organized for the
purpose of establishing a plant in
this city to extract oil from cotton
seed meal. The meal will be used for
fertilizer after the oil has been ex-
tracted. a new method will be used
in this plant, and excellent results are
expected
The plant will be located just be-
yond the tobacco warehouse and the
main building to be erected will be
40x67 and three stories high. Work
will be begun on the plant at once n
it will probably be in operation by the
1st of February. This plant will be
the only one of the kind in the
try, and if the method used is ound
to be superior to the old method of eX
tracing the oil, all the cotton seed oil
mills of the south will likely adopt it.

LONG TERM OF COURT.
Beginning January 25th, New Han
over County Will Have Three
Weeks of Superior Court.

Beginning January the -5th. New
Hanover county will have three consec-
utive weeks of superior court. This is
something unusual but a long term will
be very opportune at this time as both
the criminal and civil dockets have an
exceedingly large number of cases to
be disposed of. and some of them are
yery important.
The Terry murder case will be tried
at this term. This is by far the most
important case to be heard at the Jan
uary term and the trial will consum,
at least a week and possibly ten days.
Al this term the cases against the
women who were bound over to court
under the charge Of keeping disor6erly
houses, will also come up for trial.
All the cases on the criminal docket
will have to be disposed of before the
civil docket can be reached. With the
criminal docket SO heavy, the probaOll-
ity is hat very little time will be left
for the trial of civil cases. AS usual
the most important cases on the civil
docket are damage suits.
The entire term of court will be held
by Judge CT. S. Ferguson, Of Waynes-
vile. This will be Judge Ferguson's
first time to hold court at this place.
