VERDICT
is NOT
GUILTY.
Nag|e, Charged With Causing
Hayes Death, Is Acquitted
by Jury.

Boston. Jan. 1.-The Jury in the case OF
ter in causing the death of Hon. j. j.
Hayes, last June. have brought in YER
dict of not guilty.
The jury took the case yesterday after
noon and after celebrating about eight
hours they returned a sealed verdict.
The court having adjourned previous
to the finding, the result was not known
until the opening or today's session
when 1t was found that verdict of not
guilty had been returned.
Considerable surprise was expressed at
the outcome Of the case among those who
had followd IL closely as many seemed
to be expecting disagreement. Naglc,
the defendant, was affected to a marked
degree. As he stood outside the rail and
heard the verdict read he seemd TO lose
control of himslf and he tottered and ap-
parently would have fallen had he not
been supported by Elbridee II. Anderson,
one OF has counsel.
As soon as the Lewiston was verified,
Nagle was discharged. lie received many
congratulations.
The case was placed on trial last Thurs
day afternoon. 1t was based on the al
legation that Nagle, in a qurrel here last
June. struck Hayes a blow on the head
which caused Hayes To fall. in falling
his head struck the pavement and frac-
ture of the skull resulted. from which
the man died.
The defence did not deny that a blow
was struck. but II was claimed that II
was given I'm self-defence and after such
provocation that it was justified morally
in the eyes of the law.
Nagle belongs TO a wealthy family OF
Boston. Hayes was well known as
politician. He had been a state senator.

NORTH CAROLINA CROPS
Season Fast Drawing to a Close-The
Present Conditions.

The past week was ge1eally unfavor-
able for agricultural interests. for,
although rain was needed, the amounts
received was altogether beyond the
requirements of crops. Rain began
lightly On Monday, September 10th,
and became very heavy on Tuesday
and Wednesday, during the passage Of
the tropicar storm along the Atlantis
coast. The average for the State was
over 800 inches, or 100 inches above
the normal A sudden fail in tempera-
ture occurred Wednesday night, AMI
the remainder of the week was very
cool: the temperature for the week ay
eraging degrees below the normal
daily. Light frost was reported in the
extcmee west without doing any dam
age.
The heavy rainfall interrupted farm
work, damaged much cotton by beat
ing it out OF the b0lIs to the ground
and selling it, and injured some hay
that was not housed. On the other
hand it was beneficial to tuTnipS, late
peas and potatoes and to crimson Glow
er: it will benefit immature cotton
bOlls provided the temperature does
not remain too low The land has been
placed in excellent condition for plow-
ing, and preparations for seeding win
ter wheat and oats may be expected
to make rapid progress during the next
few weeks. Picking cotton was inter
rupted Cor four days, and the crop will
undoubtedly come in very late; the
damage to open cotton by the recent
rains must be estimated as very con-
siderable. Cutting corn and pullig
fodder are approaching completion.
There is still some tobacco to lie GU,
and the damp weather during the week
caused unfavOrable results in curing.
Digging peanuts has commenced with
fair prospects. Turnips look we'll since
the rains. There is considerable hay
still to be cut. Winter apples are very
poor. and the grape crop is apparent
ly shorter than expected. The season
was favorable for setting out strawber.
ry plants.

Charlotte, 80; Foster, 3.25; Greens.
