CHICAGO, Sept. 1l.-fSpecial Telegram
to The BEE The immunity which Grimm
ais, under the manipulation Of official favor
itism, have regularly secured in Chicago
courts, has lately aroused such storm of
Indignation that Judge Horton, of the Grim
inal court thought fit to refer to the matter
yesterday in his instructions to the Septem-
ber grand jury.
"There will be, gentlemen" SAID ne, ''an
unusually large number of cases presen ted
to you. According to the public press there
were on one day lately here four homicides
and there have been a number of murder and
suicide cases where the murderer afterward
killed himself. Chicago is not alone in such
misfo rtunes, however. If it be true that
there is an epidemic of crime sweeping over
the city there should be an epidemic of JUS
tice, too. The oath you have taken is not an
but what are right and excuse no one through
fear or favor. This large number of cases
should make you think that you should sit
as many hours as the court sits. You should
meet not later than at 10 o'clock q. M, and ad
iourn not earlier than 8 o'clock pm,
with recess at noon. There
is no reason, with the large

The Chicago Police Thought They
Had Tascott.
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-From q story made
public this evening it seems the police de-
partment has just been engaged in another
wild goose chase after Tascott, the supposed
murderer of Millionaire Smell. 1t appears
that several months ago an American resi-
dent of Hong Kong spotted young man
banging about there whom he was sure was
none other than the renowned Tascott. He
advised the authorities of the state depart
ment and also of Chicago that the suspect
had arranged to ship for San Francisco
on the ship Titan which would arrive
at San Francisco about August 20. His
story as to identification, etc, was so posi-
tive that IL set the officials here in a hutter.
No time was to be lost, SO Captain Fitzpat-
rick and Sergeant Damen were started for
the Golden Gate post haste, with letters to
the revenue officials which would enable
them to 20 out on a revenue cutter and meet
the incoming ship. Chief Hubbard mean =
while rushed down to Springfield and went
the necessary forms to get requisitlon on
the governor OF California.
Arrived in San Francisco, the Chicago off,
GERS were cordially treated by the revenue
officers ana given every accommodation, but
sad to relate, when the ship was boarded the
suspect was no more Tascott than the man
in the mooa. He was John Henry Jones, an
unromantic young Welshmun, who had
plenty of paper and other evidence to prove
he was all right.
Now comes the laughable part Of the story.
Captain Fitzpatrick, on returning to the city.
bastened to the telegraph Office and tele-
graphcd his chief:
Found the man readily. He is not the
party wanted, beyond the possibility of u
doubtn
When this message was delivered to the
chief, by some manipulation of the telegraph
operator, 1t read:
'He is the party wanted" " etc.
Immediately there was great excitement
in and about headquarters and the mayors
Office, and for fear Tascott might by some
technicality escape before the requisition
reached the coast, Fitzpatrick was tele-
graphed 10 hang on to the suspect at all haz-
ards, and other instructions. This staggered
Fitzpatrick, but he saw there had been n
blunder, and sent another dispatch which
this time reached the Office with the mott in.
That's all. The officers are home. The
$4,000 reward is still in the shadowy dis
tance and there Ii big hole in the police
contingent fund.

LONDON, Sept l1.-[New York Herald
Cabie-Special to The BEE. THE Scot
land Yard authorities yesterday were busy
following up the clew furnished them by the
Herald man. Clesry, who called at the Her
aid Office Sunday morning, was eagerly
sought for among the purleus OF Drury
Lane, but without success so far. The po-
lice express themselves confident that the in
formation given them by the Herald will
have fruitful results, ana they intend push
ing their inquiries to the furthermost The
Herald reporters are assisting the police
and their joint efforts are being watched
with great interest by the public.
Tljo excitement yesterday in the East End
was more or less spasmodc. 1t was not as
intense as on the previous occasion of Jack
the. Ripper murders and mutintions. There
are not so many excited groups at the street
corners angrily discussing the terrible occur
renee. The police did not relax their vigil
lance, but they made no appreciable progress
in calculating the mystery, and they are 10
nearer a clue as to who the remains belonged
TO than they were twenty-four hours ago.
They continued their search along the
Thames, boarding the vessels in the docks at
fruitless result.
The theory which gains most credence is
that the body was placed on the spot where
found by medical students, who desired
creating sensation and again draw atten-
tion to that most mysterious of beings, jack

Gently to discover that his wife had fed in
company with French priest, who for two
years had been her daily confessor. Since
that time nothing has been heard of Mrs.
Mcdonald and Father Moysant, but they are
understood to have sailed for Europe.
Mr.. Mcdonald, through his attorney, a. S.
Trudc, to-day began suit in the superior
court for divorce from his truant wife,
Mary Mcdonald. The bill of the abandoned
husband sets up that he married Mrs Nc
Donald about November 20, 1870; that he is a

on or about April 30, 1883, she was guilty of
the same offense with the same person. At
divers other times ana places, TO the husband
unknown, the wife is said to have committed
adultery with Rev. Moysant, and Mcdonald
states that July "A Mrs. Mcdonald aban-

and is wholly unfit to be entrusted with the
care, custody and education of the children,

custody. Attached to the bill Is an affidavit

the same.
Mr. Trude said that the statement that

Bad News From Ocean Citv.

SALISBURY, Md, Sept. 11.-Reports of a
startling character are coming of the storm
at Ocean City, Md, though the telegraph
office there is unoccuped. The large col
umns supporting the porches at the hotels
and cottages have been washed away. Doors
and windows are broken and furniture is
floating about the beach. The seas last night
were breaking to the second story Of the
Atlantic hotel and Congress hall, and huge
waves were running through the hotel six
feet deep. Furniture is floating in the
rooms. There is not a vestige of n bath
house at the beach. The life saving station
was damaged and the crew were preparing
to desert it last night.
A special train was sent over last night to
rescue the dwellers on the beach. The work
was ACCOMPLISHED by a large number of
stout men joining hands and wading through
the water waist deep. They brought the
women 10 the cars one by one seated on
their joined hands. In this way all were
saved. 1t was a perllous undertalk ing and
several times the rescuers were knocked
down. Mr.. Stokes, one of the rescuing
party, was washed out to sea, but an incom
ing wave threw him back toward the beach
and he was saved.

The WOOL TRADE.

gram TO THE BEE. The American Wool
Reporter will tomorrow, in its review of
the trade, say that the bulk of this years
domestic supply of wool has been received at
the eastern seaboard and the daily receipts
show a falling off in the future. This years
crop has been remarkable for the price it has
cost the growers to put 1t on the market.
This is the main reason for the continued
stiff price which has caused such deadlock
between the buyer and pur-
chaser during the past month. The
outlook all through the east is encouraging
The spurt in buying, started last week in
Boston by the larger mills to fill orders, con-
tinues here and has extended to New York,
where the trade is slowly beginning to par
take of the general commercial buoyancy in
business and come out of the slough it has
been in for the past two months. This in
creased buying at time the when receipts
promise to decrease, augments still higher
prices in the near future. In New
England this has not alarmed manu-
facturers, who now realize that in

WAsHINGToN, Sept. ia statement pre-
pared at the pension bureau shows that on
June 80, 1889, there were 4S0, TBS pensioners
on the rolls, an increase during the past five
years of 144, 600. For the year ending June
80, 1899. the appropi lations were $50, 473 900,
and the payments SSS,275 600 For
the current year ending June 80, 1890, the
appropriations are the same. In July and
August there were advanced to agents on
acquisitions S34. 700 900, while the amount dis
bursed by agents in the same months was
Sl1, ,4SG, 600 The statement says that more
than half of the Disbursements were in pay
ment of cases allowed during the preceding
fiscal year, and not paid then because OF the
deficiency in the appropriations, making it
necessary to pay these claims out of the ap-
preparation for the fiscal Year 1880. This ac
counts in every particular for the apparent
increase in the payment Of pensions during
