NEWPORT NEWS, VA. December
l5.-(special)-T convention OF farmers
called for the purpose of considering the
advisabiIsy OF raising beets for the manu-
facture OF sugar therefrom was held In
Johnson's Opera-House this afternoon.
There were about fourscore Virginia
gentlemen" present from the counties OF
Warwick, Elizabeth City, James City,

these. there was quite a number OF local
tradesmen in attendance.
Hon. James NJ. Curtis. president OF
the business Mems Association of New
port News, called the convention 10 order
at 1870 O'Clock. Attorney G. AyIett ASH
by. secretary OF the association, delivered
the address of welcome, at the concur
sion of which he introduced Hon. Thomas
Whitehead, State Commissioner or Asrl-
culture. who made quite a lengthy aa-
dress on the possibilities of sugar-peet
culture. and favorably impressed the
farmers and others in attendance.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture was
followed by Mr. o. X. Lapham, OF Staun-
ton who interested his auditors with
an intelligent argument In favor OF the
possibilities OF the beet for manufacturing
uurposes. Mr.. Lapham is president OF
The Interstate Industrial Company, which
was organized especially for the purpose
of pushing the idea Of sugar-beet culture
and impressing the farmers OF virginia
and North Carolina with the Importance
of this pursuit.
Both of the principal speakers were
interrupted very frequently with ques-
lions advanced by the farmers relative
to certain points in connection with Deet
raising. While the attendance was mol
as large as had been expected, Inc con-
vention was in every way successful. anu
there is every reason to believe that the
farmers in this immediate vicinity wiz
shortly take to raising beets Tor sugar
manufacture.

OLIVE PICKER MUTINEERs.
A Question Raised as to the Indict-
ment.

NORFOLK, VA, December 15.-(Spe-
cial.-John Anderson, the cook of the
schooner Olive Pecker, was to have been
tried in the United States Court here
this morning for the murder of Captain
Whitman and Mate Saunders, and for
firing the ship, but as Judge Golf, who
was to have sat with Judge Hughes, did
not arrive, the case went over to O'Clock
this afternoon. United States District
Attorney White read a telegram from
Judge Golf, which said he had missed
train connection, and would not arrive
until that hour. At O'clock Judge Gon
nut i'm an appearance. and the work of Sc
lecting a Jury of twelve from the venire
of fifty was begun. The trial will last
several days. Anderson was brought
from Bahia on the United States steam
ship Lancaster, and has been in the city
Jail ever since.
Andrew March and John Barsted, OF
the same vessel, turned government wit
nesses, and were not indicted, but John
Lynde. William Hosburg, and Juan De
Barriar, three more of the crew, were
indicted by the grand jury for being ac-
cessories to the double murder after the
fact. and for firing the ship, the penalty
being death. Yesterday afternoon, how
ever limited States District-Attorney
White. after a thorough investigation and
mature elaboration, quashed the indict-
ments. and the men were only held as
witnesses.
Shortly after court convened Mr.. George
Mcintosh, counsel for Anderson, arose
and stated that the record in the case
was incorrect, in so far as 1t referred
TO the Indictment against the prisoner
who was not present at the time the Dill
was returned. He then stated that the
court record showed that there were nut
thirteen Jurors on the grand jury when
indicted Anderson when the law requires
not less than sixteen nor more than
twentv-three. He produced n certified
conv Of the record of the court. showing
that there were only eight jurors who
resDonded to the first venire, and that III
accordance with the law in such cases
a sufficient number of jurors were then
summoned to complete the jury. But the
record showed that the Indictment was
found by thirteen of the fifteen addl-
tionaI Jurors thus summoned, and falled
IN include the other eight, who did not
narticipate in their deliberations and
were not sworn.
Judge Goff decided not to alter the re-
cord of the nth, which could not be
construed other than Mr.. Mcintosh had
read il. AS to whether he would issue a
new order. or quash the indictment. he
would have TO decide, as the result or ar
eument to be had at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
