the following report:
"During It's term Of service there hav
been submitted to It bills OF indictment, %
which 1876 have been returned as true AM

the cases are greatar than often presented
to grand juries heretofore, we do rot fee
warranted In the statement that such
fact indicates material increase OF crime
as seventy eight of said indictments wer
for the very old crimes OF gambling an
policy writing and not brought to tn
notice of former grand juries to the sam
extent.
I'VE OF the grand Jury feel that to

efforts of Every Evening in supprcssinl
the growing evil, and we trust the goo
work begun may receive the helping han
of all good citizens. OF the true bills re
TUNED four have been for murder In tn
fret degree, one for manslAughter, ant
nine for assault with intent to kill. Tn
remainder, constituting a very large pro
: portion OF the whole number, are in tn
' main for gambling, policy writing, lar
!. ceny, carrying concealed weapons, af
y sault and battery and violations OF tn
