Grand jury Report.

The grand jury completed its labors at
noon yesterday and submitted the fol-
lowing report:
Hon. George II. Noonan, Judge Thirty-sev-
enth District Court, BeXar County, Texas.
SIR.-The grand jury would respect
fully report that they have examined
all cases presented to them for their ac-
ton, and have acted thereon that they
have examIned the county jail, found
the same kept clean as far as practical 4;
but one or two of the prisoners are
without change of clothes. We would
recommend that some steps be taken to
remedy this defect, to prevent sickness
and uncleanliness.
We have also examined into the sub
ject of aflidaVits being presented to the
court for cOntinuances in felonyscases,
and find some based on false premises:
and we further find that witnesses com
ing before this grand jury have evident
ly been tempered with by attorneys be-
fore appearing to testify.
We have examined the County Road
Overseers' reports. and find from them
that the roads are generally in good con-
dition, and that city and county officials
are working tremendously together to
connect roads and facilitate trade.

CHARLES TRIP.
Good Business Outlook From Here to
Laredo.

Mr.. Charles Grae5ner. the wide
awake travelling salesman, has re-
turned from last weeks trip to
Laredo and the towns on the lnternC-
tiOnal and Great Northern Railroad be-
tween that point and this city. Speak
ing OF the general business outlook over
the route he passed, Mr.. Graebner said
to LIGHT reporter:
All along the route the country was
dry, very dry, all the water holes empty
and the farmers, stOckmen and sheep
mems interests were trembling in the
balance. Owing to the de2rth OF rain,
the lambing and calying season was on,
and the young animals were too weak to
drag themselves to water and the grass,
while good enough for the strong cattle
and sheep. was too dry to afford mOls-
ture for the little ones, and they per-
ished from thirst more than hunger.
The rain OF the past few days has been
general in that section, and all this will
be stopped and great prosperity will re-
suit. When | was at Pearsall, COtulla,
Devine, etc., the stores were doing moth
ing and business was at a standstill. At
Laredo, business is looking up. the
smallpox has disappeared entirely, both
in old and new LAREDO. Good prices are
expected for wool this season, and the
domestic market 10 entirely bare. Mex
lean wool is now no competition against
American staple, as the duties are so
high none can be imported.
The country between here and Pear
sail Is being filled with farmers. and is
good farming country; the soil Is
sandy loan, easy to work and yields a
half-bale Of cotton TO the acre easily.
That is the yield last year. The far
mers had their fields ready ploughed for
this rain and can now go to work put
ting in their crops.
An enterprise that will greatly i'm
prove Pearsall is the new corn mill, cot
ton gin and Ice factory, which has Just
been started under the management of a
stock company. Good cheap ice can
now be had by the Pesrsalites all sum
mer.
The people along the International
route took greater precautions this year
against the smallpox than ever before.
At Cotulla the Mexican quarter o: the
town was quarantined, and circulars
were sent out TO all points warning the
citizens Of the danger of infection.
Laredo is filled with stock-buyers
after horse stock principally, and prices
are getting on boom.

THE CRIME OF TWO SISTERS.

A Horrible Story OF Wood County De-
prayity.
Tuesday evenings Parkersburg Journal
contained the following in it's local col
umns:
"About eight miles ont in the country
from this city there is said to be abund-
ant material for first class sensation, and
what is of vastly more Importance, case
that needs the Prosecuting Attorneys at
tention Immediately.
Gas reported here, child was recently
born to each of two unmarried sisters not
tar from the same time. One of the infants
was disposed Of at once, but the other
was keI in the house for week or more
and was seen by the neighbors,
but after few days it also
disappeared. Its mother said that she
had sent it away 10 a lady living short
distance above Parkersburg, but the Off
GERS say there is no woman in that neigh
borhoOd bearing the name given.
people who live in the neighborhoOd of
the two sisters think the mystery could be
solved by digging in the garden near the
house. They are also free to say that they
do not believe the children died natural
deaths but that foul play WAS used. This,
we say, is the rumor, and if the Prosecut-
ing Attorney cares to look into the matter
the people of that neighborhoOd say they
are willing to help him.

In Corner GrOcery'-A Well Pleased
Audience.
Two nights of solid fun-that's what
the patrons of the Opera House have had
this week in consequence of the engage
of Dan'l Sully and his company. Last
night they played "The Corner Grocery"
and the good sized audience which had
assembled expecting to see the old Corner
Grocery" was agreeably disappointed.
1t is an entirely new play, running over
with funny situations and brimful of side
splitting business" There is also a
strong vein of pathos running through
some parts fit, and Mr.. Sully showed
himself as fully able to touch his auditors
with q pathetic character as he is to con-
vulse them with his comedy. Master
Mslvey as Jimmy Nolan" was the life
of act two, and with his dog and tin horn
kept the audience in a roar. Miss Nellie
Keen as Jennie Burke" the heireSs,
gave q most graceful and natural imper-
sonation. Mr.. Frank Jamison as Tom
Nolan" did some strong acting, while
'Budweiser," ''Rapp" and "MrS. Nolan"
were we'll presented by Messrs. Max Ar
mold, and II. p. Keen and Mrs. Nelson
KneaSs. The audience was we'll pleased
with the performance. The matinee yes
terday was well attended TO witness
