The Late Richard nender.on.

In the death of Mr., Richard Henderson, an.
nounced in yesterdays REPUBLICAN, the busi.
ness community has suffered severe loss, and
society deep infction. Mr.. Henderson had
been prominent in business for many years
and was the center of large circle of friends
who are deeply grievod at his sudden and un
timely death In all the relations of life he
was an exampler, and few men possessed, in
as high degree, the faculty of winning and
retaining friends. He was closely identified
with the tenn perance cause for very many
years, in which he was a jealous and faithful
worker, and will be remembered for his sue
cess in his efforts at reforming the habits OF
unfortunates. He leaves wife and one
child. His funeral takes place tomorrow al

Vigo Jansen Ross the body snatcher, was
tried in the police court yesterday for resur-
recting the body of Charles Shaw from Pot
ter's field. He was defended by Il. X. d.

ing of the twenty-third instant; represent
ative of the Star who identified the body as

fered to sell him the body on Tuesday morn
ing at the Freedmen's hospital Jacob Smith

knowledged the oifense to them and Sergeant

nine days. An appeal was taken and bonds

THE DEFECTIVE SCANDAL.
Investigation by the Grand Jury--Reor
gnnizRtlon of the Fnrcc.

gnnizRtion OF the Force.
The fact that the grand jury has actually
taken hold OF the matter of the theft of Miss
Elliss watch and iewelry and has examined
some of the witnesses mentioned by THE RE.
PUBLICAN, and propose to continue the inves-
tigation until the true facts of the case are as
certained and punishment meted out to the
receivers and handlers Of the stolen property,
If possible, has caused q feeling of insecurity
among the detectives. They are now, it is
said, pretty well satisfied that the district at
torney and the grand jury mean business. 1t
is alleged that they are thoroughly informed
of all the proceedings taken in the examina-
ton, although the sources of their informa-
tion arc not yet known.
1t is known that all the cases that have been
under investigation by the citizens commit
tee are now being carefully gone over, the ex
traneous matter taken out, and the evidence
Systematically arranged for presentation to
the grand jury, SO that the examination
may be made of them all in regular order
at the earliest time possible 1t is un-
derstood that the details of privates to per-
form the duties of the detectives who have
been logislated out of office will be determined
upon by the first of February, but the plan OF
reorganization of the whole police force will not
be completed by that time. In regard to
those who are TO perform detective duty, it is
not likely that Lieut.. Ecklolf will be con-
suited, for prominent official said to RE-
PUBLICAN reporter last night, alluding to a
published interview with that officer, 1T is
not at all likely that the commissioners will
consult with n man who has had charge of the
detectives for the past five years, during
which time nearly all of this alleged crooked
ness has been going on"
