All the ev idence in the case was concluded yesterday afternoon and two speech es had been made, and the closing speech was being made this morn ing for the defenoe, by lawyer Mo Call, when Mr, Berryhill, one of the Jurors, turned pale and became alarmingly 111, Judge Meares ad Jonrned proceedings for 20 minutes, and the sick man was given into the care of Dr. D. O'Donogbne. He com plained of feeling chilly, his bands were cold and clammy and be shook all over. It was thought that a good stiff sluice of usquebaugh would warm him up aud bring him all right in a few minutes, but that proved not to be the cause. The 20 minutes expired aod still the juror was not able to resume his seat in the box. Judge Meares then an nounced an adjournment of court until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when it was expected that Mr. McCall would conclude his speech. After that would come the judge's charge and then the verdict of the jury. But for this unexpected interrup tion in the proceedings, Thr Newh would in all probability iave been able to give the result of the trial in its iasue this evening. Mr McCall was just describing the horrors of sending a man to the si lent tomb forever when Mr. Berry hill collapsed. Jn alt the evidence brought out at the trial, there has been nothing ma terially new from what has already oeen puousnea in tiik kws, ana a repetition would make it stale. Pndlng the decisiou of the jury The Nkws withholds commonts. Mr. Daily, for the defense, and Mr tiurwell, for the prosecution, spoke yesterday afternoon, aod this morn ing Mr. Clarkson opened in a speoch for the defense. He was follow-d by Col. John K. Brown for the State, and Mr. McCall was making the olosing argument for the defense when the juror became ill. Great intereKt hits been manifested in the trial thtoughout, and warm as the day has ben, the capacity of the court house haa boon taxed to its fullest extent. As The Xkws goes to pres?, Judge Meares I delivering bis charge to the jury. Tbc Criminal Court.

Williams Nominated fur Alderman and Capt. SmUli for School CouiinlMloa r -Tbfl Damoeratle Ticket Kudonad. The meeting of the colored voters of ward 2 (the black ward) held last night, was a very largely attended one. Besides that, it was harmoni ous and conservative, and after Ail ing two vacancies, adopted and en dorsed the entire Democratic ticket The Democrats, at their recent meeting, it will be remembered, put only two candidates for aldermen in nomination, leaving the third place for the colored to fill. For this va cancy on the ticket, there were three candidates. Dr. J. T. Williams, the present incumbent, J. E. King and wm.ll, Houser. Rufus Wedding ten was chairman of the meeting lawt night. The plan of balloting adopted was an original one. The Williams men were parceled off to one side of the bouse, the King men to another, and the Houser men to another. When tbt three groups were thuscollected,it was de veloped that the Williams' crowd was considerably in the majority, and Willliams was declared the nom inee. On motion of King, his nomi nation was made unanimous. Capt T.T. Smith was nominated for school pommissioner in place of Mr. W. M. Wilsou, who had declined the nomi nation, Some eflort bad been made to induce Mr. P. M. Brown to run in dependently for alderman, but a let ter from Mr. Brown was read in the meeting declining the use of bis name in that connection. A motion was carried unanimously that all the nominations of the democrats be en dorsed. Married In Grnwood. Miss Minnie Lee Waters, of Char lotte, was married in Greenwood, S. C, on April th. to Mr. 8. L. Smith, ol Oreeusboro, N. C. The ceremo ny was errormea at tne residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Jas. S. Marse. by Rev. Mr. Matthews.

A. Hell aud Miss Hatlie Mc Keller. The blushing bride came In on the arm of Dr. Bailey, one of Oreeu wood's most p"pu!ar younjr men, and Miss Mollie Mirae came in on the arm of the groom. The bride and groom left on the north-bound train for Greensboro, their future home. The bride is a sister to Mrs. Capt Jas. Johnston, of Charlotte. A Homemade Typewriter. Mr. Bum Butler has displayed his iugenuity in the construction of a simple aud perfectly working type writer. He made the machine with the ordinary tools found In a me chanic's shop, aud was only a day and a half at it The writer is com pact, simple, and does excellent work. He cannot patent it, for it is a combinafion of several other type writers, aud made It more for his amusement than for anything else. The writer was on exhibition at Dr. McAden's drugstore last night aud experts say that it is one of tlieinoM perfect they have ever seen. Mn. Itrother. The Wadesboro Intelligencer, of a receut date, says: "Married, on the 2-Hh of March, at the residouce of Mr. Jamea D. Liles, near Lilesville, by Hi v. Livingston Johuson, Mr. J. L.

Orerprodantlon Ha a Depi-emlng Effect Upon the Market-Ovr a Million Bale to bo Carried Over to Next Year. There was too much cotton raised n the South for the good of the farm ers, as Is now becoming clearly evident.-' Cotton in Liverpool today is quoted at 4 pence, the very lowest fiirnre ever recorded in that market It Is the lowest, at least, known there la the past forty years. There Is but one known reason for this unusually low condition of the King, and that is, overproduction. The crop of last season is now esti mated at from eight and half million to eight and three-quarter million of bales, and at this season the esti mates of the cotton men generally approximate the real figures. This immense crop necessitates carrying over to tne mxiwwuu iuhjt uim " a quarter million bales. To carry all this cotton through the months in tervening to the opening of next season means a great expense, hence the depression. This state of affairs is sufficient to make the farmer pause and consider. Another big cotton crop this year would actually be their ruin. What they should look to is leBs cotton and more grain, grasses and pork. . -- A Morning Ride. Home of the young people of the city got up a riding party this morn ing, aud after enjoying the bracing Spring air and a delightful drive through the fields and woods, return ed to the city and took breakfast at the Centril. Tne party consistea oi Messrs. W. u. wniie, joe narty, Joseph Baruch, Will Yates, b. B. Waters, Harry Watte, Henry R Bry an, Jr., M. A, Lyon, Henry Nichols and Dr. Hinman ;and Misses C.

Mr. Baxter Moore lost a fine mule Sunday night from a peculiar acci dent. A farm hand was driving the mule to a plow, Friday, and in turn ing at the end of a furrow, close to a plank fence,the mule brushed against the fence. A large splinter penetra ted the mule's breast The splinter, which was nearly two feet long was withdrawn, and, the mule was thougtto be seriously injured, but Sundav lockjaw set in, and the ani mal died in great agony. It was Mr. Moore's buggy mule, aud he valued it at200. Billy Ruse, a popular travelling salesman, is at the Buford Hotel to day. He is accompanied by Mrs. Bus.
