Juror 0'Brien had sufficient and long
continued p~rovocation for the unusual
part he played in the United States
Court on Saturday last, He was foreman
of tho jury which acquitted young
Myers, in which case the judge took oC-
casion to administer q singing rebuke
to the whole jury for q question impro-
perly put TO the court by one juror!
That lecture was seized by the Regis.
Ter for the purposes Of most unfair COM
ments on the whole jury. These COM
ments were not confined to the columns
Of the Register, but were telegraphed over
the country by Its employees. None Of
the malicious publications in the Register
and none Of the dispatches sent from It's
office conveyed the information that
Col. o'Brien, foreman Of the jury, Is n
Democrat Of high enough standing to
have been State Treasurer Of West Vir-
ginia; that the question which brought
down the displeasurc Of tho court and
Of the Register, was put by q Democrat;
and that there were but four Republi.
cans on the jury, which, as soon al 1t
left the box, stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction. with qualifications.
In the line Of the lecture Of the court,
totally unmerited by eleven Of the
Jurors; in line with the persistent and
malicious assaults Of the Register, was
what Colonel o'Brien well termed Dis
trict Attorney Watts's 'parting shot at
tho jury" The phrase was well chosen,
expressing the spirit Of the oirense.
In view Of all that has been hurled at
this Jury and others which refused to
convict without the evidence to Justify
conviction, it may DO asked whether
trail by jury is to be strengthened by
efforts to bulldozo juries into conHcting
without evidence; for IL is tho iailute to
convict which maddens the Regiter and
It's friends.

NORFOLK, March 15.-The severe gale
which has been raging fiercely along the
Virginia and North Carolina coast for
the past twentyfour hours has done i'm.
mense damage, and the shipping interests
have suffered immense loses.
The brig Agnes Barton which was
wrecked near Virginia Beach last night
has been dashed to pieces by The
angry waters, and all hope Of saving the
six of her crew was blasted this morning
at q o'clock, when three weIe washed

Telegraph lines below Cape Henry are

asters will be reported unless communi-
cation can be re established The wind
blew az the rate OF fifty miles an hour
along the coast last night and the driv
ing rain made the weather very thick
AT Old Point this morning none Of tie
incoming steamer could not make land
ing on account of the too heavy sea run
ming there. The Washington steamers
started out last night, but encountered
such rough weather that they put back
in port, and are still tied up at their
docks in this city The steamer Curri-
tuck started out Yesterday morning for
Baltimore with number Of barges In
tow, and it is feared they have been lost
In the storm.
In Norfolk the heavy northeasterly
winds have blown the tides IN the har-
Dor, and many streets in the lower pOr.
tiOn OF the city are under water. In
BrambletOn ward water covers the street
car tracks and has forced the cars 10 stop
running, and communication between
tween that and other portions OF the city
Is very difficult, and accomplished only
with much inconvenience Water, too,
is in the cellars Of many of the wholesale
dealers, and their stocks have been In
some cases badly damaged.
An effort Is now being made by a
party OF business men to formulate a
scheme which will promote the interests
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and the sur

gentlemen Is TO arrange for the establish
ment of permanent exposition, which |
will display annually the advantages and
