THE END OF THE TRIAL.

New York, May 4.-Tl1e jury in
the Nan Patterson trial was dis
charged at 2:3O this morning, having
failed to reach a verdict after having
been out on the case for thirteen
hours. The district attorneys Office
previously announced that in the
event of the jury disagreeing they
would not be likely to retry the case.
consequently the girl will soon be free.
Delay was caused when the jury
was sent for by Recorder Gof at 1870
by the announcement that Nan was
sick. She was brought into the court
room fifteen minutes later. b,.t it was
apparent that she was suffering g
great mental stain. When she reached
her seat beside her counsel she fell in
to the chair and with hel, face ashen
pale heard that the jury was r1ab!e
to come to an agreement. The jury
was gain sent out for further delihera-
ton.
At 2:15 the jury came back and an
nouncei that no further instructions
were needed and that there was no
evidence with which they were not
familiar and they deemed impossible
for them to ever agree. The jury was
polled and ali indicated that this was
their opinion.
Prosecutor Rand said he had nc
reason to believe the statement of the
jury untrue and suggested that it be
discharged. Recorder Goff so ordered.
The expression of Mans face plain
ly showed the extreme effort she was
making to keep up, but after Record
er Goff announced that the jury would
be discharged she tainted dead away
and despite the efforts Of the cou
attendants to revive her it was neceS-
sary to carry her from the court room.
Soon after reaching the prison pen,
however, she revived and was taken
to her cell, where her sister Julia
waited the result.

Secretary Shaw has made one of his

the Mckinley tariff bill deprived the
country of a large per centage of it's

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Columbia, S. c., May s.-The tena

Columbia, S. c., May 9.-The tern-
perature during the week ending
Monday, May Stl. was much above
normal, and the daily maximum
ranged generally above - degrees
during the last half of the week; thes
night temperatures were also slightly
above normal. The precipitation was
heavy, and damaged lands by erosion
and flooding. Farm work was i'm
practicable during the greater part OF
the week, as the lands were too wec
to plow, plant or cultivate. The pre-
yailing high temperature and copiouS
rainfall caused crops of all kinds to-
grow rapidly, and were particularly
favorable on small grain and truck
crops, and fer transplanting.. Many
fields have become foul with grass
and weeds and stand In urgent nee&

early planted corn and cotton; though
much early corn has received its frs9
cultivation.
Corn has good stands as rule; buc
bud and cut worms are thinning
stands on low lands; some corn is
turning yellow from too much rain.
Cotton planting is not finished in
the western parts, though practically
finished in the central and EASTERN
counties, except on bottom or low
Lands that have been too wet recently
to plant. Stands vary greatly, being
generally good for that planted since
the April killing frost, and very poor
for the early paintings, much Of which
is being replanted. Some being re-
planted on account Of cut worms, an0
some on account Of being too foul to
rid of grass and weeds. Some cotton
has been chopped.
Tobacco transplanting is about fin-
ished, and is doing well generally.
though grasshoppers and cut worms
have damaged stands locally.
There has been a marked improve
rnent in oats, which Is quite preuais-
ing. Wheat is not doing so we'll on
account of the Hessian fly and some
rust. Truck crops and gardens have
improved rapidly, though melons are
still poor. The weather was favor
s.ble for rice. Peaches are dropping
in the eastern and southern counties
with enough left to make a good
crop; in the western counties the fruit
prospects are very poor; apple and
pear trees are blighting badly. Pas
