VERDICT TO Be SET ASIDE.
Father OF Lynchcd Negro Seeks to
Recover Damages.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 2. = Lawrence
Brown, an innocent nsgro, was accused
of ircendiarisn in Orangeburg county
in 1897. and discharged by request OF
the prosecutor and subsequently lynched
at Stilton station. Under the clause OF
the new state constitution and suose.
quent legislative acts, the father OF
Brown sued the county Of Orangeourg
for $4,000 damages.
1t was the first case under the new
law and attracted general attention
throughout the country. At the hrst
trial, in September, 1898, the verdict
was for the defendant county, the Judge
holding that the act only applied IN
cases where prisoners were taken from
officers and lynched. The state So.
preme court reversed this opinion ana
the case was called again in court at
Orangeburg.
The testimony proving the lynchIng
was overwhelming, though one OF the
county's lawyers, in spite OF the TACT
that Browns body was riddled with
bullets and his hands and feet TIED,
claimed that the negro had committed
suicide. The jury in half an hour re-
turned verdict in favor of the county.
Notice has been given Of motion to
Get aside the verdict on the ground that
it is miscarriage Of justice. and Pre-
siding Judge Gage will doubtless so Or
der, and his act will be approved by the
best citizens of Orangeburg county.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, OCT. s.-Judge
Call, in the circuit court, has rendered
his decision in the case Of the railroad
commission against the Jacksonville
Terminal company, by which the mo-
ton to quash the writ Of mandamus was
granted.
This decision, which has been awaited
for several days, was received as vic
tory for the Terminal company in its
fight against the order Of the railroad
commission, by which the petition OF
the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western
Railway company for admission to the
rights and facilities Of the terminal
property in this city was granted.
This practically bars the railroad from
coming into the terminal station, unless
subsequent proceeding by appeal, which
will be taken to the supreme court OF

MEALS SHORTAGE PAID UP.
Bondsmen of the Colonel Send In
Their Checks.

Bondsmeu OF the Colonel SenQ Ii
Their Checks.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 30.-The short
age of Colonel Neal, SO far as his three
bondsmen are liable, has been paid.
Colonel Willie Jones, cashier Of the
Carolina National bank, sent the attor-
ney general his check for S937.47, and
P. H. Haltiwanger and W. Scott Pope,
the other bondsmen, did likewise.
This pays foy the money and articles
actually misappropriated by Colonel
Neal. The total amount charged against
Colonel Neal is Sll,6o but the Caro-
lima bank cashed worthless notes for a
part of the amount and bears the loss.
The action of the bondsmen in pay
ing the amount Colonel Neal was found
short will not help him in the criminal
prosecution which is to be brought
against him, but on the other hand it
makes the case against him all the
stronger, as the payment by his bonds
men is an acknowledgement Of his NAL
feasance, for which they are held re-
sponsible by the terms Of the bond.
But by paying the amount Of S2,8l2..
Il, the bondsmen will undoubtedly
avoid being sued, and if suit were
brought and Judgment obtained against
them it would be for the full amount Of
the bond, $4,000. Whether judgment
could be obtained on the bond or not,
the bondsmen evidently did not wish
to be sued.

After the Olympia came the armored

and guns appearing like B. moving
fortress as she followed in the wake Of
the admiral's ship. The Chicago brought
up the rear of the column. Following
the New York were the two frstclass
battleships Indiana and Massachusetts,.
In the rear Of these modern engines
of war came over 800 vessels of all sorts

propellers, electric boats and every kind
except sailing vessel.

ness Temporarily.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-Intense ex-
element prevailed on the Cotton Ex-
change today and the directors of the ez.
change have met and suspended busi-
ness. The New York market was closed
today and the only quotations to come
this morning to guide the local invest
ors were from Liverpool.
The market had scarcely opened when
the operators became paralyzed by the
advices that clicked from over the ocean.
It showed futures jumping in leaps and
bounds. In half an hour the reports
showed that the Liverpool market had
jumped nearly cent.
At 10 o'clock meeting of the di.
rectors was called and prompt action
was taken suspending all business.
While the telegraph wires were bring.
ing the news of the leaps and bounds at
Liverpool private cables to prominent
local cotton firms were bearing the news
that there had been little or no change
from yesterday 10 the Liverpool market.
This at once raised the suspicious of the

The directors officially announce that
today's suspension is due to fraud.
The exchange declared all contracts
In futures null and void. This action
was taken on the advice of E. D. Saun-
ders, counsel for the exchange, who
said that all contracts made this day
having been based on false reports from
Liverpool as to price, the consent es-

An Insurance Company Desires TO
Quit the North State.
RALEIGH, Sept. %. Before Judge
Moore, at chambers here yesterday, a
very interesting case was heard. The
legislature, at its last session, enacted
what is known as the Craig law, re.
curing that all corporations chartered
in other states shall domesticate them
selves here and thus surrender al right
to transfer suits from state to federal
courts.
This law was ratified in January. In
March an insurance law was ratified,
known as the Willard act. A New
York life insurance company, which,
under misrepresentation, domesticated
itself under the Craig law, desires to
withdraw, but the secretary Of state
holds that he has no power to permit
withdrawal.
The company argues that the Willard
act repeals the Craig act, so far as In
surance companies are concerned.
