"A SHAME TO CIVILIZATION"
Grand Jury's Opinion of the New York
Sheriff Office.

Grand Jury's Opinion of the Now York
Sheriff Omce.
New YORK, March 25.-Tbe grand
jury came into the court of general ses-
sions to-day and handed long present
ment to Ju dge Fitzgerald in which the
sheriff g office is characterized as dis
grace to the city and shame to civili-
cation.
The foreman Of the grand jury, when
he handed the presentment to Judge
Fitzgerald, said that the grand jury's in
qulry had failed to reveal single re-
deeming element in the management
of the office. 1t was black
record of violated law, tardy justice,
forged settlements, corruption and
bribery. The sheriff's office was
disgrace to the city and "a shame on
civilization, and it WAS now no longer
question of what ought to be done to
remedy the existing evils, bat what
must be done at once and without de-
lay. The foreman asked that copies of
the presentment be sent to the cover
nor and the state Legislature.

UPHEAVAL. OF STUDENTS.

Leaders of the Agitators in All the Rus
sian Colleges Being Arrested.
The dispatches from Russia in regard
to the agitation among the university
students are confused and conflicting.
The first said that the first disturbance
was at the university of st. Petersburg,
but later dis patches seemed to make 1t
clear that the agitation started at
the Agricultural academy of Petropen-
skoie, near Moscow. The climax was
reached when the directors forbade the
students to make any protest against
the decisions of the school authorities
or to hold any meeting. The authorl
ties followed this up by closing the
academy. The students were much in
censed, and broke torcibly into one OF
the lecture rooms and held q meeting.
Fully 200 were present. They drew
up q statement Of their grievances, to
which the 200 affixed their sig
natures. In this they demanded
that the leaders in the student
movement should not be punished,
that the directors should be dismissed,
and that the liberties formerly enjoyed
by the students should be restored to
them. In spite of strict precautions
taken by the government the agitation
spread to other institutions, and stu
dents have been holding meetings at all
the universities. There is general up
heaval of the student world. Arrests
OF students suspected of being leaders
in the agitation have been made at
every one of the principal universities
throughout Russia

MECKIE RAWSON'S VICTORY..I]
Her Commitment to Jail was Not Justi-
fed Under the Wrong Title.

Her Com mittm emit to Jail was Not Justt-
fed Under the Wrong Title.
Mrs. Meckie l.. Rawson won another
legal victory, on the Oath, in her case
against Stephen w. Rawson. The de-
cision was as to the irregularity of
Judge Jamieson's com mitment of Mrs.
Rawson to sixty days in Jail for. con-
tempt of court in shooting Henry &.
Whitney, her husbands lawyer, in the
courtroom. Whitney became insane
and is still in an asylum. Mrs. Raw
son subsequently got a divorce from
Banker Rawson. he making no defense,
and is now in Italy, where she is said
to be engaged to be married fourth
time. The sentence of Judge Jameson
has been hanging over her head ever
since it was imposed. She spent half a
day in Jail, but her lawyers took ont q
writ of error in the appellate court,
which now reverses the decision OF
Judge Jameson on the ground that
Mrs. Rawson's commitment was wrongly
entitled as "Meckie l.. RaWsOn vs..
Stephen W. Rawson," instead Of "Peo-
pie of the State vs.. Meckie l.. Raw
son." and also because Mrs. Rawsou
was not present in court when sentence
was imposed. A further error made by
Judge Jameson, the appellate court
holds. was in not stating in the order OF
commitment of what the contempt con-
sisted, The order of commitment being
the whole record, where the contempt
is committed in the presence of the
court, it is essential that it should con-
tain q statement Of the facts. Mrs.
Rawson gets out of serving any more
time in Jail by the decision.

Simon w. King, tho Chicago Lawyer. At
tackled ON tho Streets of that City.
Mrs. Frank Kent, of Hermosa, ILL.,,
horsewhipped the well-known lawyer,
Simeon w. King, in front of the
First National bank building in
Chicago. She was closely yelled,
and bounced upon him while he
was ascending the steps of the
bank building, near Monroe and Dear
born streets. The woman dealt her
blows over the head and on various
parts of the body, Mr.. King at first
shielding his face with his hands. FL
nally, becoming tired of such punish
ment, he lifted his cane and struck the
woman over the head. Mrs. Kent was
arrested, and will be tried for the as
sault. She is 80 years old, and quite
pretty. She claims that King, who at
one time acted as her attorney, has
been prosecuting her by causing her
arrest on various charges, and
attempting to take her children from
her. Mr.. King WAS not badly injured
by the blows. The whip the woman
used was about foot and a half long
and of the variety that cowboys use to
drive cattle. Mr.. King says the charges
made against him by the woman are I'M
true, and that q man who was her friend
had threatened his life.

Sharps 30 Bleed Farmers.

scheme of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
Sharps 30 Bleed Farmers.
A Larimore, n. d., dispatch of the
9th saws: A large majority of the
farmers of North Dakota are indignant
over the alleged charity of the business
men of st. Paul and Minnea polls, and it
is the intention Of most of them to re-
fuse the seed wheat purchased with the
%300, 0U0 guarantee fund raised In the
twin cities. They look on the arrange
ment IS scheme concocted by the ele-
vator companies, the milers, and the
bankers to sell wheat at rs cents BUSH
el more than it is worth in the market,
and get IL per cent. interest on their
money. Under the agreement a needy
farmer must pay 81 for every bushel he
secures for seed out OF the first money
he secures ON his crops, because the seed
wheat loan becomes a first lien, and
is ample security to those who
furnish the wheat if the yield
is even five bushels an acre.
The whole affair is doubly an out
rage, because North Dakota's farmers
were last fall forced to have this same
wheat graded No. 2 and received so
cents a bushel for it. Now they are
asked to receive it from the elevator
companies as No. 1 hard, and pay 81
cents per bushel for it, with interest at
the rate of II per cent. In many COM
munities the more thrifty farmers will
aid those who are needy, while in 9TH
ers there is disposition to SOW no grain
at all, rather than submit to this new
species Of robbery.

this morning rendered his decision in
regard to the petition of the Board of
Trade asking for q modification of the
injunction restraining the Board Of
Trade from discontinulng it's quotations
to the bucket shop men.
Judge Tuley decided that he would
modify the injunction providing the

ing quotations.
The Board of Trade men regard this
as an important victory for them. They
will discontinue furnishing quotations
on April /.
The litigation has been going on for
several years, and all grows out of the
efforts on the part of the Board Of Trade
to keep their quotations out OF the
bucket shops.
Under to-day's decision no telegraph
companies will be allowed on the floor
of the Exchange. and customers will
hereafter be dependent on the news

PUNxsUTAwNEY, Pa. March 27.-Last
Tuesday night. about s o. clock, some of
the striking miners at Adrian and Walls
ton came down to Horatio for the pur-
pose of trying to obtain some money or
food for their families, who were in very
needy circumstances, and after going
around among their fellow miners they
concluded TO go and sleep on the coke
ovens. They were interfered with by
the coal and iron policeman, Samuel
Smith. vino ordered them to vacate
the company's premises, and after
the men bad endured all they
could from the officer one of the gang
drew revolver and fired three shots
into him. The company gave chase to
the gang, numbering five, and caught
four, who gave their names as James
Olki, Thomas Hurley, John Polk and
Frank Monroe. They were all sent to
Jail. The man with whom the police
man first came IN contact, John Hol-
Iihgsworth, escaped. Many of the
miners families are on the brink of
starvation. They live in the poorest
shantles. and lead miserable lives.

GOULD GOING SAILING.
The Millionaire Spectator to Cruise In
Foreign Waters.

New YORK, March 27.-Wall Street is
Interested in a report that Jay Gould
is to order yacht into commission
early this spring, and go sailing for
several months in foreign waters.
Several members Of his family, it is
said, will accompany him, while
his two elder sons, George and
Edwin, will remain at home to look out
tor the millionaire g interests. The con-
fidence which Mr.. Gould feels in the
business capacity and judgment Of his
sons is shown by the fact that during his
present extended trip through the
Southwest and into Mexico his %
year-old son Edwin has been
in full charge of the Gould
railway affairs. This means more than
the transaction of mere routine bust
ness. Such important interests weS
probably never before committed SO
1ully to one OF Edwin Gould's years. He
is credited in Wall Street with having
drawn one check, the other day, for
something like 100000.
