lished May Upset Trial.

when a verdict will be taken If the jury
agrees.
After being out since $3.50 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon the jury came into the
court at 1910 q. m. and asked for instruc-
tons. An hour and a half later the
twelve men filed into court with a verdict
of guilty Of defrauding.
Judge Kunkel held that the verdict was
not in accordance with the indictment,
which charged conspiracy. Foreman f.
G. Farver piled that the jury had de-
cided to let the conspiracy charge 60,
as they had not agreed that he was
guilty of conspiracy, but of fraud.
In spite Of objections by George S. Ora
ham Of counsel for Huston, that the fore
mans oral statement should be taken as
a verdict on the charge OF conspiracy, the
judge sent the jury back to its room. Mr..
Gi aham took an exception.
The circumStan of the return Of :
verdict to the court are said to be unusual,
and may be made the Das OF d legal
struggle should verdict of guilty of con-
spiracy be finally presented.
The jurys deliberations have attracted
wide attention. The courthouse has been
thronged with lawyers and state officials.

MITCHELL TO RUN

JUDGE PARKER,

The News a few weeks ago pub

efforts were being made to bring out
Judge Mitchell of Blackshear, in oppo-
sition to Judge T. A. Parker, CT the
Waycross circuit At that time the
boom for the Pierce county Judge had
only started, hut now it is learned
that it is well underway and close
friend to Judge Mitchell, who was in
the city yesterday, stated that his for

his friends shortly.
Judge Mitchell is very popular over
the counties of the Waycross circuit
while Judge Parker, who has been on
the bench for number of years, has
made an excellent record and will re-
ceive the support of some staunch
friends, therefore the race between
them is expected to be quite interest

TO BANISH DUKE
CAR IS RELENTLESS WITH
GRAND DUKE MICHAEL WHO
MARRIED ADVENTURES.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-Banish-
ment is the fate in store for Grand
Duke Micnael Alexandrovitch, cnly
Brother of the czar, for his secret
marriage to an adventures. Nicholas
is incensed, and has determined, it
was learned today, to mete out the
heaviest punishment lie can to the
man who, iii his opinion, mas disgraced
the royal family. He is the more an
CRY because he has just forgiven the
Grand luxe Cyril for his marriage.
No paper has dared to print the
news Of the marriage and efforts to
keep secret the name of the adventur-
ess, who has been divorced three times
are being made on all sides. For
some time she has been the dear
friend of the grand duke, who has
been in an obscure post at Orel be-
cause of another amour. His love af-
fairs have kept him in hot water

TAKEN As A JOKE
NOT BELIEVED THAT J. EFT. BOW.
DEN is SERIOUS IN HIS
CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

The news from Waycross yesterday
that J. E. T. Bowden, of that city, had
definitely announced that he would be
in the race for congress from the 18th
district to oppose Congressman w. G.
Brantley, of this city, was taken more
as. a joke than anything else. Even
the friends of Mr.. Bowden in this
city, where he is we'll known and qaite
popular, did not look upon the an
nouncement in serious vein, while
it is understood that in his home city
the announcement was received in the
same manner.
Congressman Brantley is as popular
in Waycross and Ware county as he is
in other counties of the district, and
should he have opposition it is belIeV-
ed that ne would roll up large ma
jority in that county. 1t is known
that there are a few people in Way
cross who have, for obvious reasons,
endeavored to bring out opposition to
the popular congressman, but they
have failed in their effort.
Whether Mr.. Bowden is just cut for
a little pleasure or advertising or
whether he is really serious, is not
known, but The News joins in the
statement made by another paper in
the district, that whoever runs
against Brantley will not be recog-
nized even by his wife after the race.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 16.-About
8 o'clock this morning the steamship
Parthian, of the Merchants and Min
ers line, rammed and sank the Magic
City, of the Cook Steamship COM
pany
The Magic City was bound from
this city for Miami, with miscel-
laneous cargo, and the accident is said
to be due to a misunderstanding OF
signals.
The Parthian was entering the river
and the clash took place Immediately
opposite the Pilot Town buoy The
Parthian struck the Magic City on its
starboard side about amidship, and
cut through the coal bunkers and
pushed the boiler and engine over to
the port side about half way through
the vessel.

Parthian, kept his ships bow against

bers of the crew hastily gathered up
their personal effects and transferred
! them to the Parthian.
Eight members of the crew of the
Magic City were brought to the city
on the Parthian, but Captain STRAIT
ton and his officers remained at May
port Captain Payne of the steamship
Parthian, stated that his vessel was
going at slow rate of speed at the

and was badly distressed that his ship
had figured in the collision.
The Magic City is owned by the

and has been operating between the
latter city and Jacksonville for sew
eral months. She was formerly owned
by the lighthouse department, and af-
ter being condemned was sold and

no effects on the Parthian other than

ship may be raised it is doubtful II
she can be made serViceable again.
