REPORT or THE GRAND JURY.

TIPpAn COUNTY.
March term of the CirculE Court,
1882, fovsaid county.
The Grand Jury respectfully sub
NIT the following report Of their
proceedings:
Owing to the late disastrous
rains it has been very difficult to
get witnesses before us, hence our
labors have been ~protracted beyond
the time usually occupied by Grand
Juries in this county,
We have, however, as we believe,
with a proper appreciation of
the oath We took, endeavored to
diligently inquire into, and true re-
turns make of all matters brought
to our knowledge. We have sum
moned 173 witnesses, brought be-
fore US and examined searchingly
l65 witnesses, on whose testimony
we have returned 81 true Bills
eight for felonies and forty-nine for
misdemeanors. Several parties are
now in Jail with grave charges
against them, whom we have not
indicted for want of witnesses. a
list of these cases are d for future
consideration.
We have given the Offices and
books Of the several county officers,
for the want of time, but partial
examination, and therefore make
no report concerning them.
We find the countyjail we'll kept,
and the prisoners eleven in nun,
berg as comfortable as circumstan-
ees allow. The building needs
some minor repairs. Henry Coch-
ran, a prisoner under charge of ia
macy, we think should be discharg-
ell from custody. We regard him
as being able to work for his living,
and in no wise dangerous at the
present time.
The Court House needs immedi-
ate attention--too much ofthe PEG,
pies money is invested in it to al
low the walls to damage as they are
being damaged by i~nattention or
false notions of economy.
To your Honor and the District
Attorney, we return thanks for
courteSies extended, and yaluabl'
assistance and counsel given u.s.
Finally, Judge Watson, we cannot
allow this occasion to pass without
publicly expressing our regret, and
as we believe, the regret of this en-
tire community, that your duties as
Judge of this District are SO soon
to end, We believe, sir, that the
judicial ermine, whilst in your
keeping, has not been furnished by
the slightest faint of corruption, or
by any degree Of ineficiency, that
your duties have been honestly,
faithfully and fearlessly performed.
We, however, congratulate your
Honor and ourselves that you are
to deliver the robes Of Office unsoil-
ed to a worthy successor, a man
whom we also honor for his incor-
ruptibility and purity Of character.
We beg you 10 carry with you in
your return to private lite, aSsur-
ance of our highest regard and es-
TEEN. and our wish that yon may be
spared YET for a long while TO cheer
your own family circle, where the
sternneSs of a Judge shall give
place to the tenderness Of The hus-
band and father.
We ask that SO much of this re-.
port as refers to yourself may be
made a part of the minutes of this
term of Court. We also request
the Ripley Advertiser and South
ern Sentinel to publish the same.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
SERMON TO THE sHIFFLER.

The Firemen IN the Presbyterian Chapel.
The members of the Shiffier fire CON-
pany turned out in large numbers last
evening to attend service in the Presby-
terian mission chapel. The house was
we'll filled and an eloquent discourse was
delivered by the pastor Rev. Hume, from
the words "Am my brothers keeper ,"
The reverend gentleman showed most
conclusively that we were all by word an d
deed, by the law, by morals and the Bible,
to certain extent the exemplar and
therefore the keeper of our brother he
spoke Of the results which flow from
little things. The shaking of twig may
and often does cause the destructive ava
lanche. The kind word or the little acts
of good will and love often bring large
returns in better and more manly fellow
ship, and acts which are often most un-
thought of produce great results; the grant,
ing of their hall for tho organization of
this mission as one had done great good
and would continue to do so to
this section Of our city long after
those who fostered and defended it
had gone to their long homes. He COM
plimented the Shiffler on the uniform
kindness and help given to tho chapel
and hoped it might ever continue. and
closed with a most cordial invitation 20
make this welcome and pleasant home.
The music was exceptionally good, and
Miss Alice Kline deserves great credit for
the perfection to which she has brought
the scholars who form her choir.

FIRE
Tobacco Factory Burned,

Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock l
building On West German street, belong
ing to Jacob Rothermel and occupied by
J. A. Albright s Co., rs 4 manufactOry
for smoking tobacco, was discovered to be
on fire, and was soon, together with its
contents, destroyed. The first story of the
building was of stone and the upper part
of frame, and through the centre Of it
ran Il partition dividing it into two com-
partments. The fire was discovered in the
western part occupied by Albright i Co.
1t is believed to have been fired by an
incendiary, rs the fire in the stove had
been carefully cxtinguishcd on Saturday
afternoon. Among the ruins after the fire
was found i broken bottle which, it is
supposed, contained coal oil or other COM
bustib!e fluid used by the :ncendiary to
burn the building. Mr.. Rothermel sue
'ceeded in getting out of his part of the
building lathe and few other articles.
He holds policy of insurance on the
building Of $3.50, in the Frankli Insurance
company. of which Mr.. II. S. Cara is
agent. This will perhaps cover his loss,
as the building was not worth much. AL
bright & Co. lose about 800 pounds Of
manufactured tobacco and 700 pounds Of
leaf, besides their tools--their total loss
being about S400. on which they have an
insurance of $22j in the Hamburg Magdc-
burg company, with Rife & Kaufman
agents.

This morning the coroner's jury empan
eled few days ago in the case of VIM
Serena, who died in the county hospital
from injuries received at Columbia, met in
the orphans court room. Several railroad
men were examined and it was shown by
them that Serena was injured while coup.
ling, by being squeezed between the en-.
CINE and freight car, he having allowed
them to come together with sufficient
force as to break the bullnose, after which
several other cars were run against this
one. Sufficient space was not left to pro-
tect his body when the cars came together
and he was squeezed. The jury found
that he came to his death from injuries
received while performing his duties, but
on account of his own negligence. No
blame was attached to the other employees
of the train.

That the popularity Of Gilbert Il Sulli-

here was evidenced by the large audience

The performance was admirable. All
the good words that the previous presen-

be repeated. as the cast was unchanged,
and they acted and sang with spirit that
left little to be desired, minor defects de-
fects being lost sight of in the general
merit Of the representation.

that there are serious complications
and difficulties iii the way. A

Beyond this, however. there is the politi-

an aspirant for the governorship, is

is his personal and political influence
which has again and again saved the con-
Germ from complete collapse, and retained
for it the continued payment of the state
fund. "A year ago, a resolution passed the
House at Harrisburg, by large majority,
to discontinue the payment but when it
reached the Senate General Beaver had
just been presented as candidate for

his political interests, and SO it was laid

action, the committee of investigation was
proposed by the "college ITSELF This
situation recurs General Beaver is too

To expose it's worthlessness would be to
interfere with his govcrnorship canvass.

under the protection of personal and
political influence which prevents any re-
