The Grand Jury for the February term of the
Circuit Court for Hartford county respectfully in
form your Honor that they have concluded all
the business brought before them and ask to be
discharged.
In a session of six (6l days. they have examined
thirty C36) witnesses, and have found seven %
true bills, and but one of these for any seriou
infraction OF the law
We have visited the jail and found nine 90 per-
| sons confined therein, who seemed to be comfort
able and as well cared for as the condition of the
building will allow.
The Grand Jury have deemed 1t unnecessary to
| visit the Almshouse at the present time. That
institution is under the direct care and supervl-
| sion of the County Commissioners, and they alone
| are responsible for its proper and prudent man
mssioners that the institution is in excellent
dition.
Although not strictly within these promises the
| Grand Jury have made some inquiry in regard 10
| the number and cost of keeping the pauper in
| sane. They find the numcer large and the ex-
| peese considerable, and the money all spent out
| side of the county. The Jury are of the opinion
that quite saving to the taxpayers can be effect
| ed by keeping them in the county. 10 that end
| building on the Almshouse property and the
| employment of the necessary attendants to pro-
vide for the wants, and If possible to effect cure
of those that are durable. The jury have not the
necessary data to give the figures, but from the
information at hand are satisfied that the County
Commissioners Will act wisely in the suggestion
now made, and Will render the people decided
service.

AUGUST TRAFFIC.

More Railroads in Operation, but the Ton
mage Lighter than Last Year.
In the thrty-one days of August the fourteen
indianapolis roads received and forwarded from
tins point total of 96,614 cars OF that num-
her 7s476 were loaded cars. The corresponding
month, 1882, there was Total Of 104425 cars
handled at this point. OF that number o4,oo5
were loaded. Decrease in total number OF cars
handled at this point this year, 7.S11; in loaded
ears, 6,O77. Rating carload at fifteen TONS
this means that o. 55 less tons of freight
were carried by fourteen Indianapolis roads tnan
were carried by twelve roads in August
1882. While this is an unfaVoraole eA-
hibiJ in tonnage, the better rates
at which freghts have been carried
will doubtless swell the gross earnings 10 aooul
those of August 1882, and the net earnings
should show something of an increase, as tile
roads have been operated much more economic
ally this year than last the hobby with all rail-
road homogeneous has been to cut down operat-
ing expenses. Freight equipments are III better
condition; heavier locomotives ere being orought
into use, and everyt hing is being done to rednce
the cost of moving freights to "a minimum Inc
greatest loss in tonnage seems to have been Win
