The Murder Trial at Columbus Ends
In Acquittal.
Columbus , Ga., Nov. 19. —All the specu
lation was rife as to wbat the verdict would
1 be in tbe Howard-Bickerstaff case. Early
this morning it was reported on tbe streets
that tbe jurs stood eleven for acquittal and
one for conviction. A little later on rumor
had it that all twelve jurors had
agreed to acquit Richard Howard
I and James Biekerstaff. and that ten favored
acquitting Robert Howard, while two
thought be should be found guilty of vol
untary manslaughter. At 4 o’clock in the
afternoon a report gained circulation that
eight jurors were for acquittal and four
for conviction. At 5:15 o'clock intelligence
flashed over the city that tbe jury bad
reached a verdict.
A CROWD IN COURT.
Judge Gamble, 8 dicitor Canon and the
attorneys for tbe defense were sent for and
hastened to tbe court bouse, whers a large
crowd bad already assembled. Two of tbe
defendants, Robert Howard and James
Biekerstaff. were in court. At 5:45 o’alock
Richard Howard entered the court ro mi
and live minutes iater tbe jury filed in and
took their places in tbe box. Polling of the
jury was ordered by Judge Gamble. Clerk
Cook called out the names and each man
responded.
"Receive the verdict, Mr. Solicitor,” or
dered tbe judge.
Solicitor Carson stepped to the front and
Foreman George Chafllu handed him the
verdiot, which read: “We, the jury, find
the defendants not guilty.”
NO DEMONSTRATION IN COURT.
These words fell from the lips of the
solicitor in clear, distinct tones. Not a
sound was heard when the verdict was read,
the judge having warned tne crowd that
there must be no demonstration under
penalty of a heavy fine.
The oourt then ordered a recess, after
which the friends and relatives of the three
men who had just been vindicated by tbe
jury crowded around them. Strong men
fell upon each other’s necks and wept. The
scene was a pathetic one, and some time
elapeed before the men could get away
from their friends and go to their families.
STORY OF THE KILLING.
The trial just closed was one of tbe most
interesting in the history of tbe city. Tbe
men acquitted are Robert and Richard How
ard, brothers, and James Bickers! e'T,
their brother-in-law, all well known citi
zens. The homicide occurred Nov. 11, 1890,
during the progress of tbe Chattanoocbe
Valley exposition. The]tragedv took place
near the judges’ stand before the eyes of a
crowd of people, estimated at
20,000. The gentleman roadsters’
race bad just been finished and
T. C. Dawson, a well-known citizen of Ala
bama, who was one of the drivers, dis
mounted and approached tbe judges’ stand.
He was approached by Robert How
ard, who plunged a bowie-knife into him.
Dawson reeled away in a circle and
with difficulty drew bis pistol, and at tbe
same time Robert Howard una his brother
Richard followed him, firing on him, Bick
erstaff also joimd in the shooting. Dawson
fired two shots at random, sank to the
ground, and in a few minutes was dead.
Tha prisoners asserted that Dawson had
■educed their sister, aud while he had mar
ried her at their instance, he bad
afterward abandoned her. They set up the
plea also of seif-defense; that Dawson oome
to the exposition to have u difficulty, and
that be made the first attack on Robert
Howard. There has been intense interest
in the trial, in which many of tbe ablest
lawyers in Georgia and Alabama were en
gaged.

FLORIDA'S PHOSPHATES.
THE 6TA'E CONVENTION OF THE
MINERS AT OCALA.
George W. Wilson Elected Chairman.
Korty-four Companies and fix In
dividual Miners Represented—The
Sentiment of the Delegates in Favor
of a comb ne for Mutual Protection.
Ocala, Fla., Nov. 19.—The Florida phos
phate convention was called to order at 3
o'clock this afternoon in tbe opera house.
Gecrge W. Wilson held the gavel end was
made temporary chairman, with John S.
Frazer as temporary secretary.
Tbe committee on credentials, consisting
of C. C. Batt, M. F. Simonds and W. K.
King, then made their report, showing tbe
presence of representatives of forty-four
companies and six individual miners.
The temporary organization was made
permanent, when the convention went into
executive session and the spectators were
asked to withdraw, except representatives
of the press. Fully 100 delegates and inter
ested persons in mining phosphate remained
in tbe hall. Dr. Metcalf of Ocala then read
his report, but said the committee on
organization failed to formulate definite
plans.
A COMBINE FAVORED.
He read the substance of tbe Charleston
mining companies’ articles of agreement, as
well as that which regulated the North Car
olina lumber companies’ organization, sug
gestive of wbat this body should do, keep
the amount of rock mb eu down to tbe de
mand, which was an assured way to main
tain prices. Judge Bulls of Orlando read
his report of the output of Florida phos
phate as 150,000 tons since tbe discovery,
and not exceeding 40,000 tons during tbe
year just past. He suggested the formation
of a syndicate who should hold 51 per cent,
of all the stock and take complete control,
regulate the output, prices, trans
portation, etc., necessary to success
fully and! profitably market the product.
He gave tbe cost of mining Florida rock
phosphates at $0 per ton: freights to water
transportation, $2 50; ocean freights, $7 25;
incidentals, dockage, commission, etc.,
$1 14. a total of sl6 89. At the present price
of sls per ton there was no money in it.
The cost of mining and getting pebble
phosphate to water transportation was not
much less. He felt confident that a syndi
cate properly managed could make phos
phate mining profitable, and in this connec
tion establish fertilizer factories.
ANOTHER TRUST SCHEME.
M. F. Siramocs of Istachatta then read his
report. Though somewhat differing from
Judge Butts, be practically presented a trust
scheme to handle Florida phosphate.
W. R. King read his report on statistics.
He said he found it very difficult to get re
ports from aotive companies, and no satis
faction by personal solicitation. Circu
lars stating tbe objects of this meeting were
sent to 129 companies, 15 of which were
returned marked “no company
found.” Thirty-eight only re
plied. Sevonty-six companies ignored
the circulars. Fifteen companies had justor
gauized and only twentv-tbree were engaged
in actual mining. He found tbe amount of
phosphate on hand as follows: Hard rock,
27,( 00 tons; soft, 10,000 tons; gravel, 10,500
tons; river pebble, 3,500 tons; land pebble,
5,500 tons.
a history of the industry.
Mr. Sutton of the Hamburg company
read a very interesting history of phos
phate, showing the increase in the annual
consumption and with fresh finds a decrease
lu prices unless controlled by combinations.
He gave the output from all the counties in
which it is found end the average price
and iring the lest nine years, ranging in prioe
from 13 to 15 pence in 1882 to 10 to 12 pauoe
to-day for grade 55 to 85 per oent.
The reports having been read it was
thought best, and so moved by ex-Gov.
Sims of tbe Columbus (Miss.) Citrus Queen
Company, that a committee of seven take
Judge Butts’ report, and from it formulate
a plan of action on the part of interested
parties in mining and selling Florida phos
phates.
Those on the committee are Judge Butts,
M. F. Simmons, Dr. Metcalf, John F. Dunn,
W. J. Jackson, J. A. C. Jutter, M. Thuller
and Chairman Wilson. The convention at
6 o’clock adjourned to receive the report of
the committee at 8:30 o’clock to-night, and
take action on the same.
It is doubtful if ever a finer bodv of men
convened in tbe state of Florida than were
in session to-day. Tbe leading minds of
tbe oonvention are confident that they will
reach a satisfactory conclusion.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
The oonvention met for the night session
with full attendance, when the following
report was made:
Your committee beg leave to report as fol
lows: Tnat a syndicate be formed to be known
as the Florida Phosphate Syndicate with suita
ble capital, that said syndicate establish a
bureau of information and regulate the sale of
the output, have exclusive control of the sale
and handling of the rock and all matters inci
dental thereto, regulate freight and make ar
rangements with brokers, furnish and advance
money to mines for the purchase and
sale of property and for the manu
facture and sale of commercial for
th izers. The officers of tbe syndicate
shall consist of a president, first and second
vice presidents, secretary and treasurer aud
board of seven directors, and such persons as
the directors may see fit to employ, the syndi
cate to be composed of any persons and com
pany legitimately employed in mining hard
rock, and that a committee of seven be ap
pointed by this meeting who shall be fully
authorized.
After considerable discussion the report
was adopted. Tbe question then came up
us to bow or on what basis this syndicate
should be forme I, when tbe same com
mittee was ordered to submit a report to
morrow at 10 o’olock
The convention then adjourned till morn
ing.

NO HABITATION.
There can be no habitation in the blood or
body for poisonous microbes when Swift’s
Specific entera the system. It changes the
character of the blood so that the germs must
either perish or get out, aud of course they
leave. 8. 8. S. also forces out the poison which
the microbes have left behind. If there be a
sore or ulcer the poison comes out through
that, otherwise through the skin.
