OF Churches Some time ago the different
denominations came together, and made an
effort to erect a handsome church to be
known as the "Union Church. Before the
structure was completed n dissatisfaction
arose among the congregations, and the
idea was abandoned, all, except the Episco-
palian congregation, wit drawing Their
aid. The Episcopalian people went right
ahead, and the little church is nearing com
pletion.
Since the dissolution the other denomina
tions have gathered together their forces
and each proposes to build a church of its
own. If they do the little town will be
graced with four temples of worship-the
Episcopalian, Baptist, Lutheran and Moth
odist The Presbyteriaps willnot build now,
but they expect to do so some time in the
future. Since each denomination has come
out for itself u reconciliation has been
brought about and perfect good will and
feeling exists. A short time ago a festival
was given under the auspices Of the Episco-
pal congregation, and everybody par;ici-
pated III the pleasantries and the occasion

TWENTY SIX HOURS OUT.
THE JURY IN TaE SMITH CASE
FAILS TO AGREE.

q Sa'apTial Declared at O'Clock This
Morning-The Jury Twice Charged
on Points OF Law but Fails to Reach
Verdict-A Rumor that 1t Stood
Eight Tor Acquittal and Four Divided
petween Conviction and ManslauRh-
ter.
AFTER twenty-six hours in the jury room,
the jury in the w. II. Smith murder trial
was discharged, mistrial having been de-
clared by the courts
AT ll:l5 O'Clock last night the jury
through its foreman, w. E. McCullom, sent
note requesting the court to charge it again
on the law. The sheriff was directed to
bring the jury into the court room, and
Judge Adams again expounded the law.
the prisoner quietly listening to the charge.
Later Judge Adams sent a note of in
quiry TO counsel for defendant asking if
they desired to be present to receive a YER
dict, or notice of mistrial, if a conclusion
was not reached by the jury. Hon. p. w.
Meldrim waived presence, stating that the
prisoners counsel would be satisfied with
whatever the court might see fit to do in
the case.
From that time on there was perfect
silence in the court room until as tho clock
struck o'clock this morning the court di-
Tected an inquiry to the foreman if there
was possibility Of agreement, and re.
cetving negative answer the jury was
again brought out. Foreman McCullom
was withdrawn and mistrial was declared.
Judge Adams, referring to the arduous
duties OF the jury, said that he had sought
TO make the members as comfortable as
possible during the progress of the trial,
and he was sorry that they were unable to
agree upon verdict, but that he was
satisfied that honest opinion prevented. In
consideration Of the arduous duties which
had been imposed upon them he discharged
them for the term.
Mr., Joseph Mannion, on behalf of the
Jurors, thanked the court for its kindly con-
sideration while they were confined in the
jury room, and the jurors fled out most Of
them hurrying to their homes.
1t appears that an understanding was
had in the jury room that the jurors would
not disclose how the final ballot stood. 1t
is learned, however, that there wero great
many ballots taken and that there were
some changes, and that at least eight stood
firm for acquittal, while the other four were
divided between murder and voluntary man
slaughter, aud it is said that at one time it
stood eight for acquittal and four for man
slaughter.
The prisoner maintained his wonderful
GOODNESS and self possession to the last. He
shook hands cordially with Clerk Carr, and
seemed less perrurbed with his long viglls
and fate than the jurymen who were con-
sidering his case. Believing he was justified
in the act, he had relied upon an acquittal,
but showed no disappointment because the
jury did not bring in a verdict in con
eonance with his expectation and hope.
1t is understood that his counsel will
now renew their application for bail, and it
is hoped by the prisoners friends that he
win be permitted to go out under bond.
The prisoner was committed to Jail this
morning. His father is still in the city,
and the application for bail Will doubtless
be made tomorrow.
