THAT "INExORABLE" JUROR
His Action in the Horn Case
May Cause the Verdict to
Be Set Aside.

In the Court of General Sessions this
morning, Police Justice James ]. Murphy
representing William Horn, who was re-
Gently tried for manslaughter in causing
the death of Patrick Madden, of No. 123
Fremont street, this city, moved to have
set aside the verdict of guilty of assault
and battery returned by the jury after
eleven of them had sought for twelve
hours to convince the twelfth juror, who
stood out for verdict of manslaughter.
Mr.. Murphy based his motion on the
statement submitted to Judge Blair yes
terday by the eleven jurors to the eff
feet that Juror Bernard Meyer had, dur
ing an intermission in court visited the
scene ofthe affray and obtained evidence
other than was presented in court, which
he had used in the jury room in an effort
to bring his colleagues to his way of
thinking. Mr.. Murphy also contended
that the verdict of guilty of assault and
battery was against the weight of evil
dence and the Courts charge.
Prosecutor Erwin opposed the motion
because it was not made in accord with
the practice and not reduced to written
reasons substantiated by affidavits
The complaint, signed by the eleven
jurors, was discussed by counsel. Judge
Blair, in disposing of it, said that the
| matter was of such Importance that it
should be formally passed upon by the
Court but it could not be taken up at this
time because of the shape it was in.
Miles McCarron, who acted as spokes-
man for the eleven jurors who had signed
the complaint, said that it embodied about
all they had to say in the matter.
Judge Blair complimented the eleven on
their conscientious attention to their duty
and said he would hear them individually
at their convenience. The Court said te>r
Juror Meyer had probably acted through
mistaken zeal rather than with wrong
intent.
The Court then postponed the sentence
of Horn for one week and in the interim
Judge Murphy will prepare his affidavits
| in support of his motion.

ST. ALoYsIUs's ORGAN

Freeholder James Ellington and Presi-
dent John ]. Mulvaney of the Board of
Education have been successful in rails
ing sufficient funds for the new organ To
be placed in ST. Alopsius's Church on
West Side avenue. This new instrument
will be ready for use by Easter. The cost
is not to exceed $500. A small organ is
now used but it is totally inadequate to
the needs of the church. a new choir
was recently organized and the organ
will greatly add to the quality of future
music.
The funds collected did not warrant the
purchase of a water power organ. A
hand pump will be used instead
Another euchre will be given in the par
ish hall on April II.

COUNTY HOSPITAL
Freeholders Decide to Build
One in Connection With
Almshouse.

In accordance with the suggestion of
County Physician Converse and the
recommendations of the last Grand Jury
the Board of Freeholders will build a
hospital in connection with the county
almshouse This was decided upon at
yesterday afternoons meeting of the
Committee on County Institutions at
Snake Hill, when the Committee on New
Buildings, which consists of Freeholders
Nolan, Ellington and Fincke. was in
structed to engage an architect to pre-
pare plans for the structure.
1t was determined to tear down the old
brick stable adjoining the new recreation
grounds for asylum patients and use the
bricks of the same for the hospital. The
new building will be 5Ox70 feet, two stories
high and will accommodate two hundred
patients.
The committee investigated the charge
in the last Grand Jury's presentment to
the effect that pauper women were con-
fined in the presence of younger female
inmates at the Almshouse, and arrived
at the conclusion that the members of
the Grand Jury were mistaken as to the
conditions that existed there. The testi-
mony of Dr.. Schlemm and Warden Ryan
was to the effect that confinement cases
were isolated, but after few days the
women were transferred to a larger room
where the ventilation and facilities for
caring for them were better. 1t was
stated that the members of the Grand
Jury on the occasion of their recent visit
might have obtained the impression en-
bodied in their presentment through see
ing convaleScent patient in one of the
main wards.
The death of veteran in the Aims
house last week stirred the committee 10
make inquiry as to whether there were
any other inmates of that institution who
should be in the Kearny Soldiers Home.
The Almshouse subcommittee will con-
duct a thorough investigation into this
matter, and if any are founu every effort
will be made to have them provided for
in the institution to which they belong.

AMERICAN TEA co.
WILL RAISE TEA IN s. O.
Contemplate Raising 3OO,OOO
Pounds Yearly.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 1.-THE
American Tea Company has pur'
chased 1000 acr. of land on one
of the sea islands, near Charlest on
land will engage in the planting
of ten or a large scale for com.
mercial purposes. The plans OF
the American Tea company con-
template the production of 100000
pounds of tea annually.
For the past several davs Major
R. D. Trimble, Colonel A. c. Tyler,
OF New London, Conn, and Baron
Won Brunig, of. Washington, re-
presenting the American Tea
Company, have been in the city in
consultation with DR.. c. N. Shep-
pard, of Summerville, who, during
the past few years, has met with
marked success in the cultivation
of tea. He owns quite an extensive
tea farm just outside of Sum-
merville, and the product of his
plantation is used extensively
throughout South Carolina. DR..
Sheppard knows more about the
culture of tea than any man in the
United States.
When Major Trimble and party
arrived in Charleston they made
no secret of the object of their
visit. Last Monday they visited
one of the islands about fifteen
miles from the city, and purchased
1000 acress of fine lands, which,
when in operation, will yield about
100000 pounds of excellent tea.
The cultivation of Tea in this
state promises to develop wonder
fully within the next few years.
The climate and soil in this Sec
tion is peculiarly adapted for the
growing of tea, and the day is not
far distant when South Carolina
tea will be sold in almost every
city in the United States.
DR.. Sheppard has several hund-
red acres in tea and he finds no
trouble in making shipments. In
fact be has to refuse large orders
every year, as the yield is not
sufficient to the demand.
1t is understood Major Trimble.
who will manage the tea farm, will
move to Charleston at once and
get the lands in the proper condi-
tion for the planting of tea.
