The criminal court Of Warren cOun-
ty was declared adjourned yesterday
by Judge Ralph North without former
notification to the grand jury or OFF.
GERS of the court. This was quite a
surprise to all concerned, as several inn
portant State cases had been set
for this week. Mr.. Baum
foreman of the grand jury, demanded
of Judge North his reasons for such
peremptory proceedings, and the Judge
said, The surroundings Of the court
are inefficient for the proper conduct
OF it and l believe it my duty and for
the good Of the public to dissolve it."
Similar statements were made by him
to other officers of the court.
For several days past rumors
have been current upon
the street to the effect that Judge
North would have to adjourn court
because they were unable to have pro.
cess in a number of cases served.
These are grave facts for the good peo-
pie of Warren county to contemplate.

criminal docket, and a grand jury with
a full budget of indictments, and
data for many more, yet in the middle
of a term finds it expedient for the PEG.
pies good to dissolve the court because
the surroundings are inefficient, be-
cause the court was unable to have its
papers served by its officers. Com
ment on this subject is unnecessary,
yet it is a subject which demands the
investigation of every good and
law-abiding citizen in Warren
county. Judge Ralph North
as a jurist and citizen is an honest, up
right man, and we feel assured that he
has been supported to the letter of the
law by District Attorney Winchester,
and although they are comparative
strangers in our city, had they had the
earnest support of The executive Off
GERS of the court would have been able
10 have done much good this term and
brought many offenders to justice.
The grand jury were engaged last
evening closing up the business they
had on hand which they will finish to-
day and adjourn.

The EASTERN WAR
Details Of the Capture Of Breswlok
"A Desperate Fight, In Which
the Bulgarlans are Victorious.

BEtGRADE,Nov. 1S-FurtheF detail
Of the capture of Breswick state tina.
the SeTvians carried eighteen lines Of
entertainments and captured al pris
oners, with a number of rifles. The
Bulgarian commander at Bresnik fled.
leaving his military papers behind him.
The Bulgarian volunteers, with their
leader, fled.
LONDON, Nov. 18-The Bulgarians,
after desperate fighting. have carried
every one Of the Servian positions
which were menacing Stivitzena.
Prince Alexander led the Bulgarian
columns in person.
LONDON, Nov. 18--British forces
in Burmah have carried forts in the
vicinity of Minhla and captured the
city, after three hours firing from
floating batteries on the armed launches
and heavy guns on board a steamer.
The British lost four men killed
and twenty-seven wounded. Minbla
was a most strongly fortified position
on the river, and by its capture the
way is clear for the British advance to
Manadalay, as the forts at Ava, twelve
miles from the Burmese capital, are
only slight structures in comparison to
those at Minhla.
BELGRADE, Nov. 18-The official
report from the front states that the
Servians entered Bresnik yesterday.
The town had been abandoned by Bull
garians, who,. IN their haste to get
away left eight guns behind them. The
capture of BreSnik leaves that route
open toSo6a. The Bulgarian army Of
the Widdin district may be considered
completely destroyed and dispersed.
BELGRADE, Nov. 18-An official
dispatch relative to tbs engagement
"a Slevinitza, says that after heavy
fighting Prince Alexander was forced
to retreat to Slevinitza. Both sides
lost heavily. Sharp fighting has oc-
Cured on the left of the Servian
advance line, where both forces held
their positions.
LONDON, Nov. 18-The Bulgarian
force at Widdin, has blocked the Dan
ube river.
DUBLIN, Nov. 18-The agent Of the
estate of the earl of Kenman, in the
county Of Kerry. has been terribly
beaten by a party of men supposed to
be tenants on the estate. Four con-
stables who were with the
agent were powerless to prevent
the outrage. A number Of dis
trained cattle seized for rent were
abandoned. Lord Kenmore recently
p%eremptorily refused to make a reduc-
ton in the rents of the holdings on
his estate, and the tenants refused to
pay the rents.

States CommiasIoner.


OMAHA, Nov. Is Judge Brewer,
who arrived here from Kansas yester-
day, took occasion in opening The
United States circuit court, to express
a denunciatiom of United States Com
missioner Saville's course in admitting
to bail the murderer Mat Zimmerman
a few weeks ago. Zimmerman was
convicted Of murder and while under
sentence of death was brought By
Attorney d. G. Barr, Of Sinclair
before Commissioner SavilIe at
Kearney on a writ Of habeas
corpus. Zimmerman's case was pend
ing on final appeal on writ OF error be-
fore the U. s. supreme court, and
Barr and Saville assumed that tine U.
S. commissioner had jurisdiction. Sa-
vile accordingly released Zimmerman
on a writ Of habeas corpus and accepted
bail of $1,000. It being considered
straw bail, Saville and Barr we're arrest
ed and released on bail. A case has been
instituted in the Nebraska supreme
court to disbar Barr. Zimmerman haD
not been heard OF since his release.
Judge Brewer instructed u. s.. Districts
Attorney Lambertson to push proceed
ings against Saville.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the
whole civilized world is interested in
the subject of the transfer of ships
across the narrow neck Of land which
separates the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, by which the long voyage
around Cape Horn would be avoided,
yet there has been no project proposed
or suggested which has met with less
favor in the minds of engineers of
high standing, at least in this country,
than the Panama Canal. The maVni-
tude Of the enterprise, the formidable
engineering difficulties to be encounter
ed, the unhealthiness Of the climate,
and the fact that the undertaking is a
private one, depending on private
subscriptions, constitute obstacles
which, when taken together, seem to
render success almost hopeless. The
recent call for more money to carry on
the work, when the most costly and
difficult portions have hardly been
begun, and after vast sums have
already been expended, must awaken
grave apprehensions on the part Of
those who have already invested their
money in the enterprise, that the
project is beyond the financial abilities
of the most powerful syndicates.-

An Incident Illustrating Secretary
Lamar's Kindness Of Heart.
indianapolis journal.
Secretary Lamar did a very kind act
q few days ago to an old friend who
had fallen in the dregs of dissipation.
The unfortunate man was a MississiD-
plan, and the Secretary had known
him for many years as a very learned,
conscientious and honest man,
but with an appetite almost u%ncontEol-
liable for strong drink. The Sec
retary's friend came here several
months ago, it is stated, anil applied
for some position within the Interior
Department. Knowing his weaknessfo
drink. the Secretary would not entrust
him with anything of a responsible ma
ture, and rebuffed him for awhile.
Finally the Mississippi applicant be-
came discouraged and fell to drink
ing deeply. He was drunk on
the streets for several days and landed
in the Station-house one night in
a beastly state of i%ntoxication.
He was without money, ragged and
filthy. After he had staid there
awhile, he sent word to the secretary,
and ne was taken out. Then Secretary
Lamar had a talk with him, and the
recreant individual promised to reform
If he was assisted. Secretary Lamar
knew him to be a man who wanted to
do right, and he appointed him to a
position as teacher in an Indian
school in the Indian Territory--a
place where there is total inhibition
from the sale of all kinds of in
t%oxicants, and where he could
