JURORS CRITICISED.
Their Verdict Recommended Mu.-
derers of Cassie Boan To T1ercy
of the Court.

of the Court.
A special from Columbia, 8. c.,
says: At o'clock Thursday morning
the jury that had for nine hours been
trying to reach a verdict in the case OF
John Jackson and Harry Jackson,
charged with numbering Cassie Boan,
announced an agreement. The Judge
came from his hotel and the prisoners
were brought from the Jail.
On table near where the prisoners
set were charred remnants Of the young
woman's clothing, her shoes, one OF
the fingers burned to blackness that
had been torn off. and her straw hat,
with the edges burned of, showing the
flames had leaped over her head.
Guilty, with recommendation to
the mercy of the court" was the YER
dict.
Carolina newspapers will scousge
the jury for recommending mercy in
such case. The men were sentenced
to life imprisonment at hard labor: 1t
is understood the solicitor has obtain
ed evidence against a number OF other
men who will be prosecuted for con-
nection with this crime.
Cassie Boan was comely country
girl about twenty years old, one-fourth
Indian. Her reputation was question
able.
The teetimony presented by the
state, and not contradicted, was, will
lingly or unwillingly, the girl VAS
taken to an island in swamp IN
Chesterfield county by two men at
least-John aud Harvey Jackson
that she was kept there from Sunday
afternoon till Monday night, when
she was seen running through the
woods, a mass of flames.
Those who first reached the suf-
ferer found her burnt from knees to
forehead and unable to speak. There
were many gashes on her body made
with sharp knives, and the spot from
which she had come was found by fol-
lowing the trail OF blood. There was
evidence that the Jacksous had made
threats against the girl, but the cause
of their enmity was not made known.
1t was suggested that they were jeal-
Gus because she showed favor to Sam
Woodward and repelled them.
The defense offered no testimony.
The attorneys in their speeches did
not deny the presence of their clients
at the orgie of the lonely island in
swamp, but advanced the theory that
the woman had accidentally set her
clothing on fire.

GREAT GOBS OF ORATORY

Brought Out In Discussion Of tho Porto
Rican Bill in the Senate.
A Washington dispatch says: AS the
hour for the senate's vote upon the
Porto Rican bill drew near the popu-
lar interest, so far as Washington is
concerned, was greatly increased.
Monday there was flow of oratory in
the upper house of congress and the
result was that the galleries were
crowded almost to suffocation, and
thousands of people were turned away,
unable to gain admission. Perhaps a
good deal of this interest was due to
the announcement that Senator Depew
would be among the speakers.

+ STATE NEWS ITEMS.

Neal Case May Be Appealed.

Neal case May BE Appealeu.
A Columbia dispatch says: 1t is
altogether likely that Attorney General
Bellinger will appeal from Judge Ben
cts decision in .quashing the indict-
ment relative to Colonel Meals last
case, in which he was charged with
failure to turn over public money
within thirty days.
Mr.. Bellinger thinks that there is a
great deal more involved in this case
than the mere quashing Of the indict-
ment. There are several other cases
contingent on this decision, in which
the state is interested in c. monetary
way. The state is to be sued on GER
tain notes endorsed by Colonel Neal,
as superintendent, in which this same
money is involved, and if the courts
sustain or reverse the view of Judge
Benet it will make considerable differ
ence.
No Fay For Mental Anguish.
The state supreme court has de-
cided an interesting question. 1t holds
q person cannot recover damages for
mental anguish. It was in the case OF
R. L. Lewis, of Columbia, who sued
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pauy for 81, $50. The complaint al
legged in substance (1) that the plain
tiff's father. living at Greenville, s.
c., being ill, telegram was delivered
to defendants agent, addressed to
plaintiff at Columbia, S. c., on De-
cember 1897, informing plaintiff OF
such illness, which message was re-
ceived at defendants Office in Colum-
bia at 1O:3o o'clock on the morning of
December Is, 1897; (2) that said mes
sage being undelivered and yet no
notice of its non-delivery being given
to the sender, second message was
on December II, 1897, delivered to de-
fendant's agent at Greenvil.e, in
forming plaintiff of his fathers
illness, and advising him to come;
81 that this second message was
delivered to plaintiff at. 7:3O p: M, on
December 18th, 1897, but the message
on December Is, 1897, was not deliv-
cred to plaintiff till after December
18th, 1S97-having been sent by mail;
AZ that when the first message was
sent, plaintiffs father was conscious,
though desperately i'll, but when
plaintiff, going as soon as possible at
ter receipt of the second telegram,
reached Greenville, his father was un-
able to recognize him and soon there
after died without the knowledge OF
plaintiffs presence; 81 that by reason
of defendants "willful, gross and in
excusable neglect" in the premises,
plaintiff "has suffered great and griev-
GUS mental and physical anguish, pain,
grief and sorrow, and has been put to
much extra and needless expense"
The jury found for the telegraph
company and the appeal was taken on
exceptions to Judge Townsend's
charge. The supreme court afirms
the Judgment of the lower court.

State May Get Something.
Mr.. Jesse T. Can't has returned to
Columbia from Washington, where he
went to see about the states claim
against the national government. He
is very much encouraged at the pros
poets and this state is likely to get
something out of the claim. Senator
Tillman has been working on the
matter for some time, and is now;with
the additional data he has, quite en-
thusiastic over tue prospects of get
ting the claims settled. Senator Till
man is confident that he can do some
thing with the claims. He will not
offer formal bill, but, being a mem
Der of the appropriation committee,
hopes to get an item in that bill pro.
viding for a settlement. He claims
that in this way he can explain the
matter to the appropriation committee
and possibly secure a compromise
agreement whereby the claims and
counter-claims can be settled.

Many people fail to give their PHYSICIANS credit

some magic potency, to instantly rebuild them.
