Last night at 10 o'clock the jury in

several affidavits charging two of the
jurors with violating their oathp, In
just what manner these jurois did

matter up to this time. After a con
flultation with the folic-itor the Judge
stated that he would act upon the mat

session.
Judge Foushee returns to his homeat
Durham thU afternoon and some action
will certainly be taken. If the charges
made by the solicitor prove to be with
out foundation and if the jury cannot
agree upon a verdict. thecaee of course
resultaJn a mistrial. If such occurs
there is every probability that it will
be removed to another county.

some sensational charges wr re about to
be made yesterday afternoon, the court

Thought to be Schooner Frank M.
Low off North Carolina
Coast.
(Wilmington Star ICth.)
The revenue cutter Itasca, which left
her Station herei Feb. 6th, for a cruise
off the North Carolina coast, returned
yesterday at noon after an uneventful
trip with the exception of having de
stroyed a derelict,, supposed to-have
been the schooner Frank M. Low. that
sank off Cape Romain, following a gas
oline explosion on board. Feb. 4th.
When the Itasca left here she -patrolled
the shoals to Cape Hatteras and
beyond, and returning to Beaufort re
received information by wireless that a
submerged wreck Lad bern sighted 84
miles off Cape Romain. On the night
of the 11th the cutter started for the
wreck and picked it up at noon on the
12th, out in mid-ocean. All that was
-Visible were three topmaats showing
about 10 feet above the surface of the
sea, the wreck lying in about IT fat
homs of water.
Lieut. W. K. Thompson, assisted by
Lieut. W. H. Eberly' In the surf boat
planted mines and blew up the masts
with rigging and sails attached so as to
leave' a clear Six fathoms over the
wreck. Capt. Berry stood by in the
gig'during the, first two explosions to
guard against any accident and in
cidentally picked up half a boat load of
fish, red snappers and sea bass, stunned
by the explosion.
The wreck was undoubtedly the
schooner Frank M. Low, bound from
Norfolk to Savannah, with a cargo of
coal, which burned from an explosion
of gasoline and sank February 4th, and
whose crew was picked up from her
boats by the steamer Sewanee and land
ed in Savannah the next day.
While the Its sea was blowing up this
wreck the revenue cutter Yamacraw
which was also searching tor it. came
up in time to give the ltnsca enough
additional mine' to complete the work
The large pieces of masts dislodged by
the explosions were picked up and taken
on board the Itasca.
After- completing the" work on the
derelict the Itasca ran up into the bight
between Lookout and Diamoqd Shoals
and cruised off shore on the lookout for
a little gasoline schooner that had been
blown off shore in the previous gale.
No ain of her was seen and the proba
bili'y is she has gone down. There was
no one on board and from her descrip
tion she was small and of very light
draught.
