JAUDON TURNED LOOSE.
A JURY DECLARES HIM NOT
GUILTY OF SANS MURDER.

The Prisoners Wife the Only Witness
of the Killing-Jsudon's Statement
Before the Jury - He Stabbed the
Negro Ia Self Defense after Sans
Had Knocked Him Down and Choked
Him Nearly Consoles.
Joseph W. Jaudon was acquitted yester-
day of the murder of Thomas Sans. The
case occupied the superior court during the
morning, lasting until 2 o'clock, when the
Jury brought in a verdict of mot guilty"
The defense secured the right TO the con-
clusion by introducing no testimony except
Jaudon's statement. As there was no other
witness to the killing except Jaudon's wife,
and she could not be introduced as q wit
ness by the prosecution, the state had
no opportunity of proving the prisoner
guilty.
A number OF negroes who lived in the
neighbor God were introduced as witnesses
by the state, but their testimony was OF lit
tie weight.
Jaudon stated that on June % the negro
woman SANS quarreled with his wife
about a dress and struck her vii a switch.
He went to Mrs. Jaudon's assistance, when
the negro woman's father Thomas Samsl
ran up and took her part. He knocked
Jaudon down and was choking him
when the latter drew his knife and stabbed
the negro several times, once in the left
arm, once in the stomach and once in the
breast. The wound in the breast proved
fatal in short while. Jaudon said that he
was in very feeble condition at the time
of the killing from the effects Of a recent
spell of fever
Solicitor General Fraser brought out all
the points in favor of the state, but IL was
aeen that Jaudon would be easily acquitted.
j. K. Saussy made a strong speech in be-
half of the prisoner speaking over an hour.
The jury went out at 80 o'clock, and re-
turned a verdict Of not guilty in less than
twenty minutes. One of the turymen said
the jury was practically unanimous for
acquittal from the moment they entered the
jury room.
Jaudon was released and was soon on his
way to his home on Ossabaw Island, with
his wife and children, who were with him
in the courtroom. They have been in
Savannah ever since Jaudon was brought
here prisoner, and have spent the larger
portion Of each day with him at the jail.
The jurors in the case were:
Thomas Screven, l.. A. Mccarthy,
Jacob +. Freeman, John w. Smith,
Joseph r. Delaney, Joseph H. Barber,
George w. Griffith, w. A. Mcmillan, Jr.
John j. Dinon, Peter G. Rotereau.
The killing occurred on Ossabaw Island
June 2S. Jaudon was the only white mar
in that section, and the negroes were very
much excited over the killing, and
threatened Jaudon's life. Justice w. H.
Mendel of. the Sixth district had Jaudor
arrested as soon as he heard OF the killing
and brought him Immediately to Savannah
as he feared trouble with the negroes
Jaudon has always been regarded as quiet
peaceable citizen.

No Reply to the City's Request for
New Count.
Charleston has not settled its census mud
die yet. Mayor Bryan's report upon the
matter has been received in Washington.
The Ne'CS and Courier says: at was
thought best not to publish the names of
those omit ed from the census for obvious
reasons. Arequest for the names was made
by the SPECIAL agent sent here by the gov
ernment, brit Mayor Bryan declined to fur
nish the list The special agent said that in
that case the only way to proceed was for
MIR. Porter &c appoint an agent who would
come to Charleston with the list of omitted
names now III Washington and find out by
strict examination if any of them could be
found on the original lists made by the
enumerators. 1t is plain that if the names
omitted from the census were published the
enumerators could easily place them on
their lists, and it would be impossible for
any agent to know when they had been put
there. 1t is expected that Supt Porter will
send back the lists furnished by Mayor
Bryan and have them compared with the
lists in the census office here"

FRUIT SCARCE EVERY WHERE.
Savannah Not the Only Market Where
There are No Peaches.

savannah MOI the only Market where
There are No Peaches.
Savannah is not the only city in the
country whose fruit market is short. A
year ago Savannah was glutted with
peaches. This year not peach is to be had
except the California fruit, and that at the
aesthetic price of cents The few crates Of
Georgia fruit that have been on the market
were hardly.worth the freight on it.
The importing grocers, Gamers and deal
ers throughout the entire country are agi-
tated over the failure Of the fruit crop and
the scarcity of vegetables in the north. The
scarcity does not stop at the peach crop in
the fruit line, but includes apples, pears,
apricots, ounces, grapes. plums, strawber-
ries, raspberries and nearly all other table
fruits
OF the vegetable products corn, string
beans, lima beans, tomatoes and nearly all
other goods for canning will, if prices con-
tinue to advance as they have been and are
now doing, be this winter nearer a luxury
than a necessity. The small productions of
the crops of these are not only confined to
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Penn
sylvania, but take in the whole country, and
in the western states the can fruits and
vegetable goods are scarce.
One peach orchard of % 900 trees in Della
ware hasn't single peach. In New York
state the crop of apples is failure as is
everything else excepting raspberries and
ounces. In the south. in Tennessee,
Georgia and Virginia the crops are very
light. California has full crop of every
thing but it will hsve to supply the whole
country this year

MAKING UP THE SLATE.
MAI. q. NJ RIVALS TO HEAD THE
LEGISLATIVE TICKET

William Clifton's Nomination a Matter
of Course-Half a Dozen Candidates
and Possible Candidates for Third
Place-The Senatorial Situation-A
Complicated State of Affairs IN Bryan
County.
The local political situation is narrowing
down. The legislative ticket has practically
been settled upon, except the third place
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals and William Clifton
will head the ticket, and there are half a
dozen candidates and possible candidates in
the field for third place.
CT NJ. Bernhardt, it is understood, will
have the support of the labor element
Alderman Falligant and ID. A O'Byrne,
Esq., are in the field. G. w. Owens, Esq,
Capt D. G. Purse. Gazaway Hartridge.
ESQ, and Alderman w. G. Cam are men
either is a candidate.
Maj. Ryals is really the unanimous choice
of the people II was, from the first, only
q question whether he would accept the
nomination for the House, or whether he
would be a candidate for the Senate. On
the senatorial question, however, Maj.
Ryals is in favor Of the nomination going
to Bryan county. His own preference was
the House.
Mr.. Clifton's candidacy for a second term
means his denomination, so that only
the third place on the ticket
remains to be filled Mr.. Bernhardts
friends are warmly urging his candidacy.
He has strong following among the rail-
road men, and will be presented to the mass
meeting by them
The congressional delegation has been
made up, and the senatorial and guber-
material delegate states will be settled upon
to-day.
The senatorial situation seems to be
rather a complicated one. Chatham
and Effingham counties are both In
favor Of nominating a Bryan county
man, but in the rush Of candi-
dates, the Bryan delegation, which
is composed Of four delegates, each with
one-half vote, seems to be unable to agree
upon any one. p. w. Williams, ex-Repre-
sentative Heevy. w. W. Geiger and Maj.
William Letford are among the leading
candidates, and each has a strength which
has, so far, prevented settlement of the
choice of the county upon either Less than
a week remains to settle the matter as the
convention is held next Wednesday.

O'Clock yesterday afternoon. did not get in
until 80 O'clock. The break has been re-
