TIE CRAM, JURY.
A Full, Text OF he Report

elled for the June term Of said
Court: respectfully report as follows:
We have examined all matters
brought to our attention have
found three true bills of indict-
ment-one for burglary, and two
for assault with intent to kill. No
other charges of a criminal nature
were presented for consideration.
The committee appointed to ex-
anime the affairs of the various
county Offices, report that the same
are properly conducted the books
and papers are kept in neat and
orderly manner, all papers are prop
erly filed and conveniently arranged.
The books are plainly and duly in
dexed, and all entries of receipts
and disbursements are duly bal
anced as far as admissible.
We find that fees for official SER
vices are charged and collected in
accordance with the Fee Bill of
1883, and that the same are prompt
ly paid into the County Treasury
when collected. The fees in some
civil suits. however, remain unpaid;
we respectfully call the attention
of the Sheriff to this matter and to
the law regulating the same. City
and county licenses are closely col
lected.
THE COUNTY BUILDING.
We find the County Building to
be in good condition, no repairs ap-
pear to be Immediately necessary,
further than some slight repairs to
the vault in the Auditors office.
We recommend. however, that the
cells of the Jail be whitewashed,
and that they be furnished with
iron bedsteads and straw ticks, in
stead Of mattresses.
HOSPITAL.
At the date of our visit to the |
County Hospital Sept. 19th,) We
'ounG there were eight inmates
FOUR of whom were receiving med
cal treatment. We found the hos
oital in good condition, clearly and
we'll kept.
BOARDING HOUSES.
Complaints were made that par
les, other than keepers of hotels
md retaurants, are keeping board
rs without taking out the neces-
airy license. This is a complaint
f long standing, and the question
f the rights to so keep boarders
hould be definitely determined.
GAMBLING MINORS.
With reference to certain statutes
0 which our attention was specially
allied, viz " An Act to prevent
minors from gambling, and " An
Yet to prohibit the sale Of intoxi-
ating drinks to minors, We find
hat minors are in the habit of fire.
uenting gambling houses and per-
aitted to be present at the gaming
ables while gambling is going on
nd that boys, much under the age
{ twenty-one years, are permitted
/ drinking saloons to engage in :
ames of cards where the wager is
)r the drinks, and that intoxicating {
Kinks are given them when called +
II. We deem this to be not only ,
/ direct violation of the statutes f
,ferred to, but in itself a great q
nd growing evil, and one that calls
II a speedy and effective remedy.
Re know of no other means than a
gid enforcement of the statutes ::
; the proper officers.
FIRE MATTERS.
The fire company known as the S
Wifi Engine Company complain I
at they have not sufficient hose j
case Of fire to render the com S
my effective we beliye this COM V
amt well founded, and suggest to c
e County Commissioners the ne I
ssity for the purchase Of suffl- k
emit amount of hose to place the s.
mpany in a good working con- "
ton. [
LAZY OFFICIALS. G.
1t has come to our knowledge G.
at certain county officers are de- 81
lquent in the matter of keeping t,
Lsiness hours. We believe that L
the absence of any statutory d
