swAYED By RACE PREJUDICE.
A Negro Refuses to Agree to a YER
dict Against Negroes.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 3.-In the circuit
court here to-day John Brown and Ed
Green, both cOlored, were on trial for
breaking into a railroad car. The Jury
which heard the case retired and were
out several hours, when Judge Benet had
the foreman brought before him and
asked the cause of the delay, whether it
was matter of law or fact that made
them hesitate, The foreman, in a very
lmpetuOus manner, said that one negro on
the jury vas causing the delay, and that
the eleven white men had already agreed
The foreman created the impression on
the mind of Judge Benet that the negro
juryman would not agree to a
verdict because the defendants were
of his race. Judge Benet ordered
the jury before him, told the clerk to en-
ter mistrial in the case, and then said
that if such conduct was INDUCED in it
would necessarily lead to the negroes
being excluded from juries; that no negro
was qualified to serve on a jury who
would decide case on the color line
that in his experience of twenty-six
years as lawyer and Judge he had found
that 500 out Of 1000 white men would
give the negro justice and that negro
jurymen must do the same thing. He
then ordered the clerk to excuse the
colored juror from further service and
strike his name from the jury list

THE LEooNF1ELD's CARGO.
The Second Cotton Ship Clears With
$3.50 Bales.

The British Steamship Leconfeld
cleared yesterday for Hango and Reval
Russian ports, with $3.50 bales of cotton
aboard. The total weight of her cargo
was g, 1862, 635 pounds.
The Leconfield was loaded at Savannah
in December, 1891, when she carried 800
bales of cotton, weighing 3, III ,43s pounds.
She carries $50 bales less this time The
average weight of the bales on the pre-
vlous cargo, however. was 1872 pounds TO
the bale, while on her present cargo the
average weight of the bales is 500 pounds
The actual difference in weight of the two
cargoes is IA, SOB pounds, or about thirty
bales.
When she loaded in 1891 the vessel was
chartered on the lump sum basis and it
was TO the interest of the charterers to
get in as large cargo as possible On
this account 5S5 bales were recompressed
at the expense of the charterers. She
was also loaded in cool weather when it is
possible for the men to do better work
than at this season This time the vessel
was chartered by the pound rate and no
bales were recompressed. The bales be
ing so much larger this voyage brings the
total weight almost up TO the last voyage
and saves the owner COMPRISING end
loading charges on $50 bales. The figures
were obtained from an authoritative
source and can be verified at the custom
house.

THE OHArTAHooCHEE IN PORT.
The Report North of II er Loss Causes
Much Anxiety There


This report came from New York yes
terday afternoon, where it caused a good
deal of anxiety for while, of the loss of
of the steamship Chattahoochee.
As the Chattahoochee is lying at her
dock here, where sue has been since her
arrival from Boston Sunday night. the
report was Of course unfounded, and was
at once denied.
Agent Anderson of the Ocean Steam
ship Company said he had no idea how the
report could have started. None of the
OceanSteamship vessels are out except the
City Of Birmingham, which Is due to-
morrow morning. The City of Augusta
arrived last night, and Capt Doggett re-
ported the sea smooth all the way down.
The report of the loss of the Chatta-
hoothce was published in the afternoon
papers in New York. The Associated
Press at once wired the MORNING NEWS
to confirm the report. A reply that
the vessel had been al her dock here
since Sunday set the matter straight
The steamship compduy's officials are
at loss TO know how the rumor rot out
and are curious TO learn. The Chatta-
hooChee will sail at 9 o'clock this morning
on her return trip to Boston.

Scenes and Excellent Character Por-
trayal.

to fair audience. The play is a domes-
tic drama Of the better class, and contains
many strong scenes and interesting situa-
tiOns.
With Archie Boyd as the Country
Justice Of the Peace, and good support,
the play was fully up 10 the standard in
its class. Mr. Boyd $ work is one of the
strongest features of the play. and his
conception Of the character of Ed Tobias
IS original and interesting. Alfred II.
Hastings as Andrew Tobias, Earle Stir
ling as Albert Labaune, Meyer Cohen as
Sir Maxwell Olleyed. A 4. Burton as Reu-
ben Bolliver, were all good. Miss Lillian
Harper, the soubrette, as Daisy, is a
bright and vivacious little actress. and
her merry humor and her songs fur
nlshed much amusement for the audi
ence.
Miss Helen Ridgeway as Emily Tobias
took the leading juvenile part, which she
sustained admirably Although she has
not been year on the stage, she displays
much talent, and her work is promising
Of much success in the future.
