the purpose ct burning auumbor of the
lights until l. o'clock, tho lamps ON tho
the proscnt circuit only burning until 10
o'clock, Il being Impossible To hurn any

plant OF the company consists OF five
machines, zach machine having ca
pacity for ten lights; now as there are
thirty lights on the 10 o'clock circuit,
three OF theSe machines arc connected

Grand jury Report.

The grand jury, after three weeks
session, adjourned yesterday afternoon
sine die. Tho following is their report,
and as will BIO seen, they justly rebuked
the municipal officials on tho disgrace
full condition of the miserable excuse
called a station-hOuse.
THE REPORT.
TIC, the Hon George N. Aldredge, District
Judge:
We, The grand jury, impaneled at
court TO enquire into oflenses
committed in Dallas county, beg leave
to make the following report of our in
vestlgation:
We have been in session three weeks,
and during that Time have used our best
efforts 10 discover crime, have had wit
nesses before az from all parts OF the
county, and as the result of our labors,
have returned lO6 true bills. or this
number eighteen are ielonies, and the
remainder misdemeanors. WohaVe OK
amined ourcOuuty jail, and are gratihed
TO report that we found the same in
clearly condition, aud the prisoners
therein properly cared for.
Since the completion of tho fire-prCof
Office in the court yard, we think the
next thing in order should be the oroc-
ton of a substantial iron fence around
the yard aud the removal OF tho old
fence and rubbish from the pubic
square,
Our attention having been called
TO the city prison or oalaboose, we have
given that place thorough oXamina-
ton, and whilo II is not matter over
which the county authorities have
control, yet ia the interest
of humanity we think the city officials
should take immediate stops to romody
the evil of continuing mon and women in
such place. We ara told by the keeper
OF the prison, that try rs no may, it is
impossible for him 10 make the build
ing comfortable, especially in worry cold
or hot weather, aud tho nature OF
offences Tor which persons are confined
there, being considered, we think they
should at least be entitled to warmth in
winter and II cooler place in summer.
What Is needed Tor the purpose is Il
building more commodious and con-
veniently arranged, better ventilated
and better heated. In other respects,
we are satisfied the treatment received
by prisoners is good.
Respectfully submitted.
