sailing vessels almost becalned within
two OF three miles OF each other, east, a
fnll. rigged ship was observed from two
to three miles off, displaying signals
which were interpreted by me: "Ship
wrecked; crew safe" But no urgency |
signal was displayed, or if ifiisplayed. was
not seen, nor was the name or national
i,y Of the ship given. Had d signal of
distress or urgency been seen IL would

were diihcuit TO make cut, but it would
have been easy for the vessel to put out

Jury.
CINcINNATI, May l2.-The special
Grand Jury, appointed to consider
crimes in connection with the riot and
the burning of the courthouse, made
their report to-day TO Judge Avery.
The report treats Mt length OF the causes !
leading to the riot and speaks of the
common report that jurors were bribed,
of the general complaint that the courts
permit too many delays and that good
citizens avoided jury duty to the detri-
ment of the fair administration Of
Justice. 1t also points out defects
in tho criminal code. The report
commends highly the conduct of the
Fourteenth Regiment at the time of the
riot and praises the bravery of Captain
Desmond, who lost his life in the Court
House. Fifty four indictments were re-
turned, covering twelve different grades
OF crime, but nothing further will be
divulged concerning these until arrests
are made. Judge Avery, in receiving
the report, made brief defence of the
courts and remarked that the public
would judge whether the jury had done
its work we'll or not.
