NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Justice Guy,
in the New York Supreme Court set
aside the verdict of a jury today, and
fined the twelve jurymen fifty dollars
each for deciding verdict by the flip
of a coin. The case was suit against
a New York city railway company for
damages in causing the death of a
child and which the jury returned a
verdict in favor Of the railway COM
pany.
Justice Guy thought the evidence
much apart from the verdict and ask
ed the foreman how such was reach
ed. When the foreman told what had
been done, Justice Guy said they
violated their oaths and committed a
contempt of court. He then imposed
the fines and ordered their names
stricken from the jury list. One jury
man explained their action and said
the jury was hopelessly divided and
that one of the members had money
in his pockets to close a business deal

Death of Mrs. w. e. Spann.

Mrs. Minnie Spann, wife of Mr.. w.
E.. Spann, died at their home in this
city last Saturday morning about
nine o'clock, after an illness of about
two months or more. Mrs. Spann
happened to an unfortunate accident
just before the first of the year, and
never fully recovered from her in
juries. She was not in good health
and tainted and fell in the fire, get
ting her feet badly burned. These
injuries together with her weak con-
dition made recovery almost an I'M
possibility, and she gradually grew
worse until the end came.
The funeral took place Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock at South
end cemetery, the services being at
tended by large number of people.
The pail bearers were: Honorary:
G. A. Jennings, D. F. ;Hooton. N. P.
Smoak, CIR. Brabham, C. B. Free,
and j. D. Fielder.
Active: Thos. Black, WIN. Brab-
ham, w. D. Rhoad, E. c.. Bruce, F..
M. Simmons, and F. W. Free.
Rev. T, G. Herbert. pastor of Trim
ity Methodist church, conducted the
services.
Mrs. Spann was about fifty years
old, and was born near Blackville in
Barnwell county. She was a mem
Der of the Methodist church in this
city. She had lived in Bamberg for
a number of years, and while she was
of a modest and retiring disposition,
and stayed closely at home, her
friends were humerous and her death
causes grief to. many. She was Sis
ter of Mr.. G. E. Hutto, he being her
nearest surviving relative outside Of
her immediate family. Mrs. Spann
is survived by her husband and three
children, one being a son nearly
grown and two little girls about ten
years old.

What WIN Charleston Dor

Is it not time for our friends in the
City by the Sea to awake to the se-
riousness of the situation? The other
day a Charleston lawyer, in defend
ing case involving violation Of the
liquor laws, denounced the State law
on the subject until made to desist by
the presiding Judge. Later in the
week the same lawyer, defending an
other alleged blind tiger, ,intimated
broadly that official Charleston is
daily winking at, indeed, locally legal
izing violation of the whiskey law.
Judge Hydrick promptly invited
the presentation Of the members of
council. But they will not be pre-
sented. Yet Lawyer Loganwas right
that is, the policy in Charleston is,
according to our information, to
exact a license from the tigers. such
license being paid in the form Of reg
ular periodical fines.
Last week the Charleston grand
jury seems to have weakened, for it
returned; true bills against several
tigers, The petty juries, however,
refused to convict, and Judge Hy-
drick, .t.'sick Of the farce" directed
the Solicitor to bring no more tiger
cases to trial at this term. At the
same time there were three convic-
tions in Columbia, and one of the
white offenders was fined $500. IS
This condition can not continue
without great loss to the city of
Charleston. We agree that it will
be, never possible to make that town
@'dry, " or to wholly suppress the IL
legal sale of liquor, but it should be
possible to convict violators when
brought before juries with evidence
to satisfy honest, reasonable men of
their guilt. And it should be pos
sible to make those that violate the
law do so under heavy cover. At
present there can be scarcely said to
be blind tigers in Charle eston, the sale
Of illicit whiskey being so open as to
have nothing Of the "blind' about
it, 81 .e, 49,. 8.
The disregard of the law against
the sale of whiskey in Charleston is
notorious, and conditions are certain
" not calculated to improve when q
Judge finds. that trials are mere
farces. Charleston can not afford
that reputation. The recoil is bound
to be costly, and the loss will be felt
everywhere morally, politically. and
materially. Columbia State.
