pre?ed their desire to see a trial
carried on like the ones held at a
regular court. All rules of court
will be observed, Attorney Luther
Hartsell, acting as judge. Mr. L D
Duval and Mr. James F Shinn have
been appointed by the chair to
prosecute Dr. Herring, whe At
torney Stickler, Dr. Fetzer and Mr.
Gaston Means will defend him.
Ic is stated that the attorneys for
-the prosecution, in order to get the
evidence correctly, will have the
colored man there and will allow
him to testify. To those who have
never seen a trial, it promises to bd
very interesting besides hearing the
argument offered by the attorneys
and the charge to the jury by His
Honor, Judge Hartsell. 8ergeant-
atsArms Hurley will have the pris
oner in custody, and where the
conrt can well gaze npon the guilty
or innocent face. Mr, Jno. M.
Cook will very probably perform
the duty of empanelling the jnry
and will collect ten cents from all
witnesses which will defray the ex
penses of the court for ice water
and other little expenses.

Ilattle Twenty-Three New Cases of
Yellow Fever and Three deaths.
The details of the surrender of
Gen. Toral's troops at Santiago have
been halted and prolonged by the
unheard-of demand on the part of
the Spaniards to have their arms
turned over to them when they are
l .nded in Spain. It is ah effort to
hold up Bp mish pride. Peremptory
orders, however f have been sent
from Washington and the terms
muRt be accepted at once or the
conflict will yet come off. It is not
believed, however, that such an
event will occur, for Gen Toral has
all the while shown himself a diplo
mat of the first water in causing de
lay with the hope of terms as little
hcmiliafing as possible. There is
little doubt that he will accept the
terms which are that the Spaniards
are to be fed-and at the first oppors
tunity to be landed in Spain.
Twentyothree new cases of yellow
fever have been reported among our
troops and three deaths. The sur
geon in charge says the disease is of
a mild type and will readily yield to
a change to a higher climate The
necessary delay in disarming and
transporting so many troops will
keep our troops near and on duty
for seyeral weeks, but it is not like
the hardships of being in the
trenches and pits with the almost
certainty of being picked off at
every exposure to view. -
Their Jubilee.
The "Julia Magruder Book
Club" met with Mrs. Dr. Young
for- their last meeting and they
called it their Jubilee Meeting, for
they had their president, Mrs. J
C Gibson, with them once more,
alter her long absence, and all the
members present' but one.
The great event of the day, the
drawing for their books, was in
order and occasioned much mer
riment. The club has had five
books presented to them by
friends and appreciated this com
pliment most highly. The secre
tary said she had voted for "Con
cord" as the name for their club
and she was happy to say that
this name well described their
club, as no ripple of disagreement
has disturbed their serenity and
they have proved that a club of
women can dwell together in
peace and concord.
The club adjourned to meet at a
call from the President in Sep
tember. An Enjoyable Evening.

ing. The evening was spent in
laughable and joyful conversa
tion. At an appointed hour all

member that a nice time is in
