THE LATE GRAND JURY.
A fitiiul Kick by the Gentleman In
Gieted for a fragrant Viola
ton OF Law.

The Morning Fossil has all at
once become virtuous and questions
the right of the grand jury II visit
the public institutions Of the c,.unt'.
In the first place it may well he as
serted that the Fossil would have
never thought of finding fault with
the grand jury if that body had not
indicted MIR. Hendricks, which
shows that spite and spleen and not
purity of motive dictated the growl.
1t has been the custom for years
and years for the grand jury to visit
and examine into the management
and condition of the public institu-
tions throughout the county, and
no complaint has ever been made
before. Now is there any warrant
for such complaint. Section l25l of
HIPS code says that in addition to
the powers and duties in relation TO
crimes "the grand jury has pow"r
and it is their duty to inquire (D
into the condition and management
Of every public prison in the count,
and (2) into the condition an1
management of the offices pertain
ing to the courts of justice in the
county"
Section 1852 of Hill's code gives
the grand jury free access to nj
these offices and institutions and
also to the free examination of all
public records in the county, thus
contemplating their supervision over
and examination of every public
office in the county. That this
carries with it a power of investiga-
ton of all eleemosynary and other
institutions supported at public ex-
pense by the county or state and
situated within the county, is very
reasonable to suppose, and that
these semi-annual visits, if properly
conducted, have healthy influence,
no person can for a moment doubt.
The kick made by the Fossil is
weak and puerile, the product of II
mind charged with vexation and i'll
will, the result of being caught in
the violation of law and indicted for
it. rhe present grand jury is COM
posed of good and true citizens of
the county, who performed their
duty as they saw ii and whose prop
erty interests in the county are
sufficient.

CAUGHT THE "COON. THE at
mosphere in Albert's addition, south
of the creek was this morning so
permeated with a peculiar odor, that
every woman in the neighborhood
was examining her basement and
outhouses IL vain endeavor to locate
Artemus Wards famous pole cat,
which he declared was sufficient for
a whole township with the wind in
the right direction. Further inquiry
brought out the fact that for some
time back Mr.. J. II. Albert has been
losing some valuable fowls during
the quiet hours of night, and his
Chinaman, Ah Sin, has been on a
determined lookout for the coon,
which he supposed was doing the
devilment. His watchfulness was
rewarded this morning by finding
two "coons" i'm the hen house, beau
tiful fellows, striped black and white,
both of which he made noble effort
to capture, but only succeeded in
tagging one, which he chained up
and reported his success to Mr.
Albert, with the remark that they
were "velly plctty, but smellee like
hellee." Further description of the
animal is unnecessary, sufficient to
add that new suit Of clothes was
conveyed out the window on the end
of mop stick to Ah Sin, and
his other garments are now quietly
reposing under the shade of n large
oak to be relieved of their "coony"
OdOr.

AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report that should Re Read.

"A recent analyzation in Philadelphia by a
celebrated chemist OF ten popular brands OF
Sarsaparilla discloses the astonishing fact
that these ten samples OF blood purifiers ~
contained in the aggregate sirteen different
minerals, eleven of which were active poi
sons lodide of Potash was discovered In
every sample, mercury was found in all but
two, while arsenic existed in six OF the ten
brands. Not one brand was the pure article "
A reporter took the above clipping to E. w.
Joy, the manufacturer of Joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla- Mr.. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it. He said he long ago
saw the crying need for a safe and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation of sarsapariila,
hence his was named joys Vegetable sarsapa-
rilla, because 1t contained nothing but pure
syrup of sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
juices OF California's vegetable Alternatives
Unlike potash sarsaparillas, II does not force
impurities through the skin, but stimulates
the various seeretive organs, thereby correct
ing functional arrangements and eliminating
all impurities through the natural channels

ARRESTED FOR THEFT Yester-
day morning, Marshal Ross arrested
Chinaman for stealing, and placed
him in the city Jail. This Celestial
has been in the habit of stealing az
ticles and selling them. A few days
ago he sold to S. b. Watkins few
small articles, and said he was going
to leave the city. Mr.. Watkins pur-
chased the articles, and after few
days he came again. BY this time
Mr.. Watkins began to mistrust that
he had stolen the goods, and notified
Marshal Ross i'm the meantime.
Mr.. Watkins would not buy any
more articles but by request he be-
gan purchasing the articles 50 the
Chinaman could be caught, and on
Thursday evening, he brought one
square and Il handsaw to Mr.. Wat.

before Recorder Conn for eXamina-
ton. He was fined $25 and costs,
amounting in all to $47.50, and beng

MARSHALL'S HOSPITAL.
A Petition to Offset Any Bad Effect the Action

SDeciaI IN the Gazette

Petition to Offset Any Bad Effect the Action
of the City Council May Have Had.
Special to the Gazette.
MARSHALL, TEX. Jan. 16.-Last fall
during the yellow fever excitement your
correspondent, anticipating the action of
the city authorities relative to the railroad
hospital and its removal from the city
limits, prepared a telegram to that effect,
but at the request of prominent
citizens, fearing that it might
be construed as a declaration of
war between the city and railroad
it was suppressed. 1t is well known that
at one time, though not now, the very
best of feeling did not exist between the
two. Until the January meeting of the
city council there was no effort to en-
force the resolution of the city council
taken in the fall. The council now
seem determined to bring the mat
ter to q focus and their action
has called forth the following petition or
address which has been signed by almost
every citizen IL 1T has seen it. This will
be forwarded to the officials of the road
with the names attached and it is be-
lieved win Offset any bad effect the ac-
ton of the council may have had. Fol-
lowing is q copy of the petition:
We, the undersigned merchants and
citizens of the city OF Marshall, depre-
eating the action taken by the city coun-
ell on January s, relative to the removal
of the hospital from the city, desire to
say that while such action was had by the
representatives of the city we do not be-
lieve it voices the sentiments of the COM
munity, and we desire to further say
that until the railroad company is III
condition to erect and build
a hospital in some more con-
venient and eligible situation
we desire to have it remain where it is,
and when that time arrives we viii do all
in our power to help procure such place.
It is very evident from the number and
character of signatures already obtained
to this document that the citizens do not
wish to see the hospital removed from
this place.

Il Hot Debate.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The senate
was the scene to-day of some rather
Mitchell and Dawes, the subject being
the tariff bill The item was sugar, but
even this did not sWeeten the occasion.
Mr.. Reagan opposed an amendment Civ
ing bounty of l cent per pound on
sugar produced from beets, sorghum and
sugar cane grown in the United States.
He characterized the Republican tariff
bill as one of robbery, and went so far
as TO say that the Republican party were
indif erent whether they supported
or Sustained the constitution. This
language was objected to by Mr..
Dawes and others as being an individual
reflection, and Mr.. Reagan finally said
that he did not intend to impute an i'm
proper motive to any individual Republic
can, but only desired TO characterize the
policy of the Republican party. The de-
bate was very animated at times, and
the senators participating seemed to have
considerable feeling about the matter.
The olive branch of peace finally waved
over the senate, which resumed its Gus
tomary decorum.
THE WOOL GROWERS
and manufacturers had hearing before
the senate committee, and an unsuccess-
full attempt was made to harmonic their
interests. They are so much
at variance compromise
is impossible, and thus the
committee must select its own course.
This viii result in dissatisfaction to one
side or the other, and it is to be regretted
that they could not harmonic their in
terests.
