The cause of this loss of flesh is a

jury and they went out at o'clock. Many
of the large audience remained in the court
room momentarily expecting return OF

so overwhelming that many expected a
verdict OF not guilty or at least invOlun-
tary manslaughter, but the prosecution
with only a few witness had succeeded in
impeaching great deal of the testimony
of the defense.
The jury returned at 10 O'Clock. Breath

CORPORATIONS IN CAROLINA.
The Law to Lean Strongly on the
side of the Employees.

Columbia. S. c., Nov. 12.-The constitu-
uonal convention spent the day discuss
ing sections of the article on corporations.
A sectisn was adopted putting railroad
employees on a plane with the passengers
in receiving damage for injuries received,
when such injuries result from the neg
ligence of a superior officer, and knOwl-
edge by the employee of the unsafe char
acter or condition of the machinery or
appliances used shall be no defense. No
agreement signed by the employees TO eX-
empt the corporation from dam
ages shall be valid. The con-
vention closed the day considering
proposition to make the stockholders
of all investment corporations Liable for
the stock they hold and such an amount
over and above as may be fixed by the
general assembly.
At the very long night session, the
convention completed the article on cor

The heaviest fights were made on the
question of the liability of stockholders
of insolvent banks and other corpora
tons, and on the question of refusing to
allow the railroads to ship at released"
contract rates.

CHARLEsTON's PRIMARY.
j. Adger Smyth Beats Mr.. Bryan for
the MayOraIty Nomination.

Charleston. S. c.. Nov. 12.-The primary
election held to-day passed off quietly and
there were not many personal encounters
between the followers of the opposing can
didates. This is rather surprising, for the
feeling between the Smyth and Bryan men
has been running very high. A miserably
raw, rainy day may have cooled the blood
of the henchmen somewhat and then the
feeling between them has been kept down
by the dread of the common enemy which
they will have to fight at the general cleo
tions, the A. Z. A. and independent move
ment. Throughout the day it was believed
that the contest would be very close, es-
pecially in the mayoralty vote. At II
O'Clock tonight the official count had not
been completed but it was evident that
j. Adger Smyth had been nominated for
mayor by between 400 and 500 majority
No count in the aldermanic race has been
made yet.
