NO WORK FOR THE COURTS THE JAIL ALMOST
EN- .TY-wHAT's THE MATTER
The regular semi-anuusl term of Court in
Sussex county which began on Monday, ad-
ionrned on Thursday morning. There was
almost literally no business to occnpv tue
Courts attention, ard no one was convicted
Of criminal charge. Judge Wales remarks
that IN his experience of visiting Sussex on
judicial duty, for the past ten Of twelve
years, lie has never known the term to
close SO soon, The Jail has now but three
Inmates, two of whom will be released next
October, the other being a colored man
confined for life for the murder of his wife
The quiet of the county is ascribed by
the temperance people, and no doubt by
many others, to the great check on tie sale
of liquor established bv the present
stringent law. There are very few licensed
places for selling liquor i'll Sussex county
probably not over ten-iu population of
about So, ,0O0. In the town of LAUREL the
population of which was 1880 by the census
of 1860, there is not and has not been for
two years any licensed place for the Gale Of
liquor.

Attorney Harrington was on trial. 1t will
be recollected that at that trial the regular
panel became exhausted by the chal-
lenges of counsel, and talesmen were sum-
moned. 1t is now asserted that some (
these talesmen have stated an oath that
they were selected because they were the
personal Or political friends of the marshal,
and only after it had been ascertained how
they stood towards Mr.. Harrington. 1t is
a notorious fact that two of these tales
men got appointments after the trial had
been concluded. These matters are to be
more fully investigated by both the grand
jury and the judiciary committee.

SCHESCK's SEA WEED ToNiC.-In the armos-
phere experienced here during the summer
months. the lethargy produced by the heat takes
away the desire for wholesome food, and frequent
perspirations reduce bodily energy. particularly
those suIeringf from the effects of facilitating dis
eases. In order TO keep a natural hcaIrhful actiy-
ity OF the system. we must resort To artificial
means. For this purpose Scheck's Sea Weed
fOnic Is very enectual. A few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh yigor to the euervated
body. For dyspepsia. II is invaluable. Many en-
inent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic in Its nature is totally different from
such drugs. II contains no corrosive minerals or
acids: In fact IL assists the regular operations of
nature. and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic
In its nature so much resembles the gastric juice
that 1t Is almost identical with that fluid. The
gastric juice Is the natural solvent which. In a
healthy condition Of the body. causes the food to
be digested; and when this juice Is not excreted
In sufficient quantities, Indigestion. with all Its
distressing symptoms. follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performsthe duty OF the gastric Juice when
the latter Is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic

MEMORY.
Doesn't Remember Single Name on
the List of congressman who were
Bribed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The examina-
ton of Fremont by the judiciary com
mittee was concluded on Saturday. The
result Of his testimony is to satisfy the
committee that corruption on most gigan-
tic scale was practised TO secure the pas
sage of the Texas Pacific charter, and that
Fremont has not told the whole truth in
regard to it. He denied that he had any
personal knowledge of the bribery, or
promise of brides to members of congress,
but when asked to tell what been told him
by his agents or the agents of the company
on this subject, he objected most strenu-
ously to the question, and sought to evade
an answer. He finally said he could not
remember. He admitted, however, that
he. was shown list of members OF con-
gress who had been promised bonds, but
he declared that he could not remember a
single name He also admitted that a
claim was made upon the company after
its organization for the amount of these
bonds, which had been promised to mem
bers of congress and other persons for
services rendered in Washington, and that
this claim had been recognized and CON-
mittee appointed to consider it; but he
swore that he did not remember who any
of the claimants were. These claimants
were represented by Il. c. Parsons and r.
NJ. Corwine, and they knew all about the
names of the persons they represented, as
did also the members of the committee,
who were officers of the company, to whom
these claims referred.
