san francisco Grand Jury Report.
SAN FRANoIsco, Aug. Is. The Grand
Jury of the city and county Of San
Francisco, which has been in session for
the last six weeks, presented its final
report to the Superior Court to-day.
The document is a lengthy one. 1t
criticises favorably some of the depart
ments, but in most cases the criticisms
are extremely unfavorable. 1t de-
nounces politics in the fire department
and the levying OF assessments for po-
litical purposes; the Harbor Commits
sioners are accused OF criminal neglect;
the School Directors are characterized
as no better than the ex-convicts they
employ, and the street department is
swept clean with the exception Of the
Superintendent, who is complimented
on his earnest efforts to suppress such
matters rs are broughtto his notice. The
report, on the whole, goes to show that
the government Of the city and county
is badly and fraudulently administered.

FINE ELECrnIo DISPLAY.
Description of One seen From the OBJ.
kerYntOry NJ Dartmouth.

HANOVER, N. II. August Monday
night there occurred the greatest electrical
display that has ever been recorded at the
Shattuck Observatory, Dartmouth College.
About 0 o'clock faint band Of light was
seen starting from the western horizon pasC-
ing Just north OF Arcturns, crossing the
milky way at right angles, aud extend.
ing to The eastern horizon. This
band gradually widened and grew
brighter until it was fully five de-
grees wide and as bright as full moon,
the lightest portion being directly in the
zenith, waves and streamers 0: light con-
tinually, shooting from either eide. The
band did not remain stationary, but slowly
waved toward the North, assuming the
form Of crescent and then toward the
South. At Ik45. the band began to grow
narrow and fainter, the brighter portion
passing TO the Western horizon. In the
zenith it gradually faded away, break
ing up into Light masses. AT 10
o'clock 1t had nearly faded, but
at once began TO reappear in dif-
ierent form in the north. The sky be-.
came illnmipsted half way to the zenith,
the light extending at least 45 degrees to-
ward the west. II was in constant COM
motion fading and growing brighter, pass.
ing toward the east and then west. While
this was at Its height the band reappeared,
but this time only on the eastern side oil
the milky way. Here the light was in
motion, continually darting up toward the
zenith aud then retreating to the horizon,
glowing with . faint blue color and chang
ing to a reddish tint. s3bi

TuI idea OF an informal meeting OF West
Virginia Republicans continues to find
favor. Some Of the expressions are with
qualifications generally wisely suggested.
Such meeting ought not to expose party
plans; it ought not bein the interest OF any
aspiraut or aspirauts for party honon; it
ought to aim at the very best feeling among
Republicans, the strongest manifestation OF
zeal in behalf Of the party.
1t is likely that Democrats would inter.
pret it as pledge Of determined effort to
carry the State next year. But that pur-
pose is already known. There has been
no effort TO conceal It, and there need be
none. As we understand the situation and
the feeling among Republicans, our cam
pligH next year is not going to be "still
hunt" We expect the enemy to be on his
guard, and We expect 10 storm every de-
Tense. We have al abundance Of amuni-
tiOn, and unless we misconceive the DIS
position oI Republicans they intend to let
the Bourbon party have 1t right a left.
Ietit be understood that the INrgLLIGEN-
CIR has not undertaken to bring about q
meeting g-that is solely with the party. The
lS1RLllGESCER submits the thought and
requests expressions Of opinion from all
Republicans. II the party think it unwise
there will be no meeting. Whatever may
be the result in that respect, the suggestion
has already produced this good fruit-it
has brought out utterances which show the
serious resolve OF West Virginia Republi.

fore the campaign begins. But this matter
we are quite willing to defer TO the iudg-
ment OF the State Central Committee who
are clothed with the authority to call con.
ierences as well as conventions.
In this connection we would add that,
as we are informed, the matter Of confer
enCe was discussed at n meeting OF the
State Central Committee held at Grafton,
June 22d, when the committee met to con-
slider the resignation Of Captaiu John W.
Mason as a member Of the National Re-
publican Executive Committee, at which
meeting eight Of the twelve members were
present. II was the unanimous opinion Of
the committee that such conference
would be inexpedient at the present time
on account Of the remote period Of the
State Convention. We would not be un.
derstood as throwing any obstacle in the
way Of conference. We only express an
individual opinion.

ROMANTIC OLD AGE.
A Love Story That Is All Brightness ana

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August Ia verita'
BILE romance was concluded in the ortho.
dox fashion in this city to-day. As the
steamship British Grown swung up to the
American Line dock an old woman who
had beea walking the deck since sunriie
leaned over the tad'rail, calculated, unsram.
matically: "That's him!" and disappeared
in the cabin. At the same moment still
more elderly man on the dock shrieked:
t'Thats my Benedicta!" gambolled up the
gangplauk, followed by body guard OF
friends, and rushed after the retreating
woman into the cabin.
Twenty.eight years ago q scene as sad as
this was Joyous was enacted by the same
pairon the Cunard dock at Liverpool, when
Thomas Barbour bade farewell to Benedic-
ts Price and set Of TO find his fortune amid
bis kin beyond the sea. Kin at home had

their ages were then respectively iorty.two
and thirty,Ave years, they concluded 10

distractions to the courRe of true love.
Time took nearly third Of century for
the task, meantime upsetting most Of the
institutions OF the year 1855 except the
ocean mail. Its expeditions hardly kept
pace, however, with ihe epistolart ardor oI
the loyeEs until about month ago, when
the strain on the postal service ceased with

IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Meeting Of the Executive Council OF the
League Ia New York.

Ae"kue III We" AoEAs
New. YoRK, August 1.-The Executive
Council OF the Irish National League OF
America met to-day. There were also
present Patrick Egan, OF Ireland, and Rev.
DR.. Charles 0'Rsilly, Of Detroit, treasurer
Of the National League Of America. Presi-
dent Alexander Sullivan was in the chair.
The League disposed Of large amount Of
routine business and received reports from
various sections OF the country. Among
the subjects considered was that OF the
socalled land grabbing in the Southern
and Western States and territories by Eng
lish aristocrats and English corporations.
A committee was appointed to secure q
complete report in each State and territory
Of the quantity Of land purchased, the
names OF the purchasers, and statement
showing whether such purchasers are citi,
sens OF the United States.
A resolution was adopted declaring the
league would give no aid to any lecturer, no
matter whence he came, whose lectures
were for any other than league purposes,
and recommending to branches that no
invitations be extended 10 lecturers unless
the proceeds were given to the National
Lesgue fund.
The Constitution was amended at the
suggestion Of Rev. Father McKenna, OF
Massachusetts,, 80 as to provide for the
election by State conventions OF vice
president for each county in the several
States. TWAS also amended 80 as to provide
that in municipal councils the basis OF
representation should be from each branch,
first, the President OF the branch and then
one delegate for each branch having over
fifty members and less than two hundred
members in good financial standing, and
one additional delegate for each one hun
dred members in excess OF two hundred.
A resolution was adopted urging the State
Committeeman to call State, e,conventionsand
secure complete organizations as soon as
practicable.

MouSDsylLLE, August 1.-My inquiries
among Republicans, concerning the confer

oped something like the following: G. S.
McFadden: ave don't need any confer
ence; we have nothing to call a conference
for, though am in favor Of anything that
will assist in carrying the State in 1884.
Think, though, 1t is too soon to talk Of q
conference. Maj. II. W. Hunter, cashier
OF bank, declares the conference will do

We can also decide upon plan OF action.
S. r. Hanen thinks that meeting Of the
kind would do good ii judicionsly manag-
ed. The party must win in 1884. Perhaps
the Executive Committee should issue the
call, but let's have the meeting
Captain A. 0. Baker, Clerk oi the Circuit
Court, believes the conference will do
much good in-many ways. In, addition to
reasons given by others he thinks that it
1t would create an ambition to excel among
the different clunties that would insure
harder and better work. He heartily en-
dorses the suggestion. s.Ir. .,usH'S
Sheriff Hicks is in favor OF anything
that will insure the success Of the party.
1t might make the Democracy work harder,
but he wss in favor Of hard work and
hard fight all around.

Is heartily in 4ayer Of the movement, and
says Marshall county will be all right in

thought enough to express an opinion, but

and quite number OF Others expressed
the same opinion. A gentle
man said he favored ii for no other reason
than the fact that the Democratic press was

The impression made upon my mind is
that nearly every Republican iavors the
movement. Tic belief prevails that there
Is more than fighting cnance for the con.

be wisdom on the part Of the Republican
party 10 have all differences buried, and
come up with united front to meet and

Treatment ofthe Badies Of the Killed in
the Late Railroad Accident.

onIoAGo, August l.-Relatives Of the
late Thomas Hoyne, who was killed in the
accident on the Rome, Watertown 4 0g.
densburg road, give deplorable recital Of
the condition OF affairs in and about the
wreck, and upbraid severely the alleged
neglect OF the railway officials.
A son Of Mr.. Hoyne relates that trainmen
refused TO allow the coffin to be opened to
guard against the possibility Of mistaken
Identity. He was unable By any process
to reach the scene Of the disaster on making
application 10 the railway authorities.
"A daughter Of Mr.. Hoyne relates that n
attention was paid to the dead after the
accident, and that bodies were lying on the
side OF the road exposed'to the sun, four.
teen hours after the disaster. Itis further
declared that Paitles were opening yalises
and searching the bodies Of the dead while
the employees Of the road were engaged In
removing the debris. Mr., Hoype had q
large su,A Of money With him, but bis rela.
tons state thst bis watch aud all other val.
