FLACk'S FIX.

Sheriff F1ack of New York County and
HIS Co-Conspirators in the Fraud uient
Divorce Case Indicted by the Grand
Jnry-Suppiementary Report of the
Grand Jury Rejecting on Certain Off.
GERS OF the Court Granting the Divorce.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-Shortly after noon
yesterday the grand jury entered the
Court OF Sessions, Part One, and handed
in indictments for perjury and con-
splracy against James A. Flack. sheriff;
William Flack' MS son; Referee Meeks,
Mrs. Raymond and Judge Mcneil. ..
In addition to handing in indictments
against the Flack conspirators, the grand
jury presented a supplementary report
which says:
This alleged action for divorce from the first
step to the final decree was characterized not
only by gross Irregularities, but by fraud, de-
ceit and colluson. That such an action could
be so conducted facilitated and concluded in
one OF our highest courts Of record is a matter
of grave public concern, and it behooyes the
judges and officers of our courts and all officials
charged with the administrator of our laws to
see to it that like practices do not prevail in
other cases.
We call the attention OF the Legislature and
the courts to the fact that, while consent
connivance or collusion as to the commission
VA "UulbNlS y IL cApTeSSly pTOnlDiIeu, yet an dC-
tion OF divorce may be instituted and main
tanned by consent and collusion OF the parties
thereto We consider that the practice Of ap-
pointing referees in divorce cases is most per-
niclous, and is conducive to the very dangers
and abuses which the Flack case has exposed.
We call the attention OF the judges of the
Court of Common Pleas to the system of en-
tering the minutes and the filing of papers OBJ
served in the office Of the clerk of that court.
oil ha 1F No
Term of the Supreme Court to the unprofes-
sional conduct in this case of two of the officers
OF this court-AmbroSe Mcneil and Joseph
Meel1s- 1t is obvious that the decree Of divorce
could not have been obtained without the sane
tion Of Judge Bookstaver That sanction was
obtained, partly by deceit and imposture, and
purity by either judicial negligence or judicial
collusion; we have not determined which.
We do not impute to Judge Bookstaver corrupt
tions alone are not the only means by which
the bench may be degraded and judicial use
fulness impaired. Neglect, remissness and
complaisance to friends are liable to produce
like results. We are of the opinion that
among other things the CRIME of conspiracy has
been committed. The conspirators, from
their position in life, their knowledge and ex-
perience, have been enabled to so shroud their
actions that an understanding and discovery
were made exceedingly difficult.
Bench warrants were issued for the
sheriff and the others indicted with him,
and all will appear in court o-day ex-
cept Civil Justice Mcneil, who is too i'll
to leave his bed, and who will furnish
bail for his subsequent appearance.

NATALlE'S TRIUMPH

The Enthusiastic Welcome of the Popu-
lace of Belgrade to Ex-Oueen Natalie
Moved the Royal Lady to Tears The
Infant King Alexander Said to be JeaI-
GUS of His Mothers PopulariJy-Must t
Ask Pa.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The enthusiastic well
come given to ex-Qleen Natalie by the
populace of Belgrade astOnished, il it
did not dismay, the government officials,
who sought to accentuate their displeas-
ure at the persistence of the royal lady
in disregarding their wishes respecting
her visit to her son. The extent of the
demonstration was so great as to render
the lack of courtesy on the part of the
officials of the government unnoticeable
and to move the ex-Queen to tears. The
houses along the principal streets, as well
as the residences of the nobility and in
habitants of the better class, were pro-
fusely and beautifully decorated. and in
all respects the reception surpassed any
thing Of the kind that has ever been seen
at the Servian capital.
The most notable exception to the rule
of decoration of private residences was
that of Madame Christich, wife of the
late Servian Minister to Germany, and
mistress of ex-King Milan. This omis :
sion can be regarded by Natalie in no
other light than as complimentary, since
it is matter of Servian court notoriety
that the ex-Queen took occasion to SO
publicly evince her detestation of Ma
dame Christich and her appreciation Of
the Kings lack Of decency in bringing
his mistress into the presence Of his
wife that both were overwhelmed with
confusion.
1t is stated in official circles in Bel
grade that the young King, Alexander,
has become excessively jealous Of his
mothers popularity, but the courtesy
shown to her by the Russian Minister and
others not friendly to the present
governing power of Servia will prob
ably deter the boys advisers from coun :
selling him to resent the demonstration
or to treat his mother with any marked
lack OF filial attention.
BELGRADE, Oct. LIT is announced
that King Alexander has refused to call
upon his mother, ex-Queen Natalie, until
he receives permission to do so from his
father, ex-King Milan.

FIattering Advances in the Value of Prop
erty in Tennessee-Increased Revenues

Flattering Advances i'll the Value or Prop
erty in TenneSsee-Increased Revenues.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept 30.-The
Times this morning publishes reports
from 10 of the 96 counties comprising the
State of Tennessee, showing an increase
of the value Of real estate and personal
property Of $26, 900, 900 over the assessment
of 1888, and an increase of 800 900, 900 over
the assessment of 1885. The increase
Of 800, 0G0 000 taxables in three years IS
unprecedented in the history of any State
in the Union. The reports show the total
value Of taxables for 1889, including S32,-
800, 303 railroad properties, aggregates
1856 456, 761. The revenue of the State VIII
also be increased this year by the collec-
ton of S125, 0)0 account of back taxes from
corporations that have been heretofore
inadequately assessed. The State debt
of Tennessee now aggregates S16, 339, 00O,
2 -25 per cent of the taxable property OF
the State. The State Comptroller writes
to the Times that the increased revenue
will enable the State to pay its entire
floating debt within fifteen months.
The Times, commenting on the figures,
says:. Tennessee has for some time
past been in financial disrepute; but
there is no reason why it should not take
foremost reputable stand, and it will
speedily do so if the authorities at Nash :
Vile will handle its finances in d prudent
business like manner.u
