THE DETECTIVE DIFFICULTY.

The Grand Jury Going For the Dclin-
gucnts-An Improved state OF Affairs
Since the Force was Dismissed.
When the entire mass of testimony which
had been gathered by the citizens committee
and turned over to the grand jury was read
by that body, proceeding which occupied an
entire session, the members were perfectly
amazed, IL is said, at the developments that
were made. An indication of the impression
made upon them is given by the list Of wit
appear before them. OF course the
papers were not all properly classi-
fled for action, but that is now being done
by Assistant Attorney Taggart, who has
entered heartily into this investigation. Tho
testimony which was taken by Commissioner
West during the investigation made by him,
has also been examined and in this there were,
IL Is said, some damaging admissions made by
the then detectives. With other evidence
that has since been obtained il is believed that
the subjects then under inquiry are now
better understood and that the charges then
made can now be fully maintained.
Since the abolition of the detective force
the police have made n larger number of ar
rests for petit larceny than heretofore, and in
casscs of robbery that have been brought to
their attention, recovery of the stolen pro-
pcrty has been effected without compelling
the loser to pay n reward. A notable instance
is the case of n gold watch, n diamond ring,
and other articles which were stolen from
Mr.. William H. Hazard, residing on Cor
cOran street, n mention of which is mado in
the police court notes to-day. These things
were promptly recovered by policemen Slack
and Cunningham.
1t is also noticeable fact, and one that the
court records will bear out, that the precinct
officers are now making great many moro
cases of petit and grand larceny than they did
under the old state of things when Il dCtec-
tive was the witness for the prosecution.
There is decided feeling of uncasiness
among all those who are said to have been
implicated in any of the crooked transactions
that have come to light during the investiga-
tiOns made for they know that the witnesses
recently examined by the grand jury are pos
scssed of information which will be of de-
cided service in supplying whatever miss
ing links in the chain of evidence there were
before, and also that they have knowledge
of other cases not before suspected, which
have probably now been fully detailed. 1t is
believed by those who ought TO bc in n posi-
tion TO know, that there will he some develop
mCnts shortly of startling character, which
will show that the allegations made by the
citizens committee fell tar short of the
inquity that actually existed. Charles Hur-
die, w. l.. Bailey, Edward Berry, and George
McCaulcy have already been heard by the
grand jury, and Others are yet to be ex-
amined

The Winona water works are among the

the water teaching through the sand from
the river and becoming thoroughly filtered
in the process. Near these covered
wells is situated a substantial brick build
ing IN which are two pumping engines,
one of which is in constant operation and
the other ready for fires or other cases of
emergency, which keep the stand pipes in
constant supply, the water being forced
up to high altitude, and from this point
producing a strong pressure in the mains
and supply pipes. A new stand pipe is
now in process of erection near the main
works, which is to be 21O feet IN height. It
