A MISTRIAL AT EDGEFIELD.
The Celebrated Damage suit OF
Townes Against Augusta.


Augusta, Ca, Dec. 1.-At Edgefield to-
day another trial was ended in the suit
OF the heirs of Townes against the city
of Augusta. This case has been tried
many times, and is becoming a sort of
interstate causa celebre.
Suit was first brought in 1894 by the
heirs of H. H. Townes for damages al
legged to have accrued from the canal dam
abutting on their land on the South Caro-
lima side. opposite the locks The city
purchased and paid for the land In money,
and in addition granted the privilege of
thirty horsepower with which to operate
a gin. and allowed him the use of the
canal free of toll.
Moreover ii is said that Mr.. Townes had
a sinecure in the position he has occupied
in the employ of the city as keeper of the
fishery. The city's counsel takes the po-
sitiOn that in consequence OF the enjoyment
of this benefit for a long term the heirs
of II. II. Townes enjoyed the benefits of
and acquiesced in the contract which their
father had made with the city, which be-
came binding on their life estate, and con-
sequently they are stopped from all claims
for damages.
The case has been tried three times be-
fore the Superior Court of South Carolina
and twice il was taken up to the Supreme
Court. This new trial al Edgefleld end
ed to-day in a mistral, which is counted
as a victory for Augusta, as it was impos-
sible for Carolinians 90 get a verdict in
a Carolina court with Carolina lawyers be-
fore a Carolina jury against a municipal
ity outside the state.
The jury is said to have stood nine to
three i'm favor of Augusta.
