THE following decidedly unique piece of
English is what might be expected from
a member of the late grand jury, in de-
Tense OF his action. If his ideas were as
clear upon the subject of his duties and
responsibilities as is thus bit of extract

stupidity is esteemed the prime qualihca-
ton for Grimm al juror:
There is another side to this and it is
fikes the one your correspondent thinks
the Jury bad its mind when 1t found no
indictment against the unfortunate girl,
Clara Bente, and this is that public
whose sentiment drives mother IN the
VAN hope of covering up the undoing of
a villain, to murder her infant rather
than face its damnable uncharitable
croakings, should be satisfied with its

As to the twenty-one cases OF illegal
fiouor selling, in the face of the hard.
cold facts, they dwindle down to three.
the most he:n0us of which is that man
made his way iato a saloon and bought
a glass of beer on Sunday. A conviction
in this case would have probably result

growing public sentiment against all
Sunday laws, conviction would proba-
bly, have been doubtful, and in case OF an
acquitt II it would have cost the county
several thousand dollars.
THOMAS F. ROCHE,
One of the Jury.
Mr.. Roche's defense of bis action on
the liquor cases is another brilliant piece
of argument as to his entire unftness as
grand juror. He admits that evidence
OF criminal violation of the license law
was submitted, but, forsooth it might
cost the county some thing. And yet this
jury recommended new county buildings
JOINT buildings with the city of st. Cloud,
which means that the county shall pay
for them and the city of ST. Cloud own

The Association Football Players Meet and
Revoke Some Bad Decisions.
The trouble in the Western Football
League was somewhat smoothed down at a
meeting of the League last evening. All
the clubs were represented except McDon-
aid.
The Bloomfield club withdrew the pro-
test which was sustained against Pittsburg
at previous meeting, and the delegates
last evening were in favor of invalidatirg
the Mcdonald protest against Pittsburg,
which was also sustained at the previous
meeting. Mr.. Horn, the President, how
ever, advised that no action be taken on
the matter until the Mcdonald representa-
tlveS were present.
1t was also decided that in future each
club making protest shall deposit S., and
if the protest is not sustained, the money to
be forfeited.
The games will be resumed to-day. New
Castle will play Bloomfield at Recreation
Park, and the McKeesports will play the
McDonalds at Mcdonald. The Pittsburg
team will go to Homestead and oppose the
team there.

THE HIGH PRESSURE CURRENT.
Weird and Beautiful Effects With Forty
Five Thousand Volts.

Five Thousand Volts.
Although within the last two years the
transmission of electric current at 10000
was regarded by many as impracticable, in
experiments with high tension currents just
carried out at the Frankfort Exhibition,
the enormous pressure of $4,000 volts was
reached. This achievement is not only re-
markable from the degree to which it sur
passes all previous demonstrations of the
kind, but. according to the description of
an electrical expert who was present, it was
attended by effects of light of exceptional
briIliancy. Upon a table there was fixed
an electrode, some three inches in diameter,
connected to one terminal of transformer
Over il there was mounted large sheet of
glass three millimeters thick, and above the
glass there was second electrode termi-
mating in sharp point, the distance be-
tween the electrodes being three cent?
meters. When the current was turned on
to the primary coil of the transformer there
first appeared a purple haze at the upper
electrode. streaming towards the glass. As
the current increased this haze grew,
in fulness and definition, and began to throw
out feelers, which darted outward and as
quickly withdrew. AS the pressure of the
current was increased THESE feelerS gathered
power until they beat themselves violently
on the glass, as if they would force them
selves through it in their mad desire to
reach the other electrode The whole space
below the pointed conductor became alive
with them, aud exhibited a mass of leaping,
cracking threads of purple fire, which
writhed and twisted in impotent attempts
to burst through the barrier, and failing
that, spread themselves along its surface
endeavoring to rush over its edges, and so
reach their goal by a circuitous route.
This was beyond their strength until the
pressure approached $4,000 volts, when sud-
denly the entire appearance was changed.
The current overleaped the edges of the plate
and flowed completely around it in all
directions. At that moment the intense
purple color of the spark disappeared, and
was replaced by white light of the greatest
brilliancy, which surged and scintilIated in
a way that produced acute fatigue of the
ewes in an extraordinary short time. AL
though steadier than before, the discharge
still kept up its spark-like character, in
folding the glass plate in cleaning corus-
cations, which glistened and flashed until
the spectators were fain to turn away their
bedaZZled gaze

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION.
The Directors of the Local Ball Club to Be

The Directors of the Local Ball Club to BE
Reduced to Five.
Notice has been given of an important
resolution that will be submitted to the
stockholders of the local ball club at their
annual meeting. The resolution is to the
effect that the number of directors be
reduced from seven to five. 1t is very
likely that the resolution will be adopted.
The question as to who ths directors will
be becomes an interesting one under the
circumstances: Mr. O'Neil is out and some
people think that Mr.. Scandrett will be re-
tanned as secretary without seat on the
board. One thing is sure. viz, that the di-
rectors cannot afford to leave a well in
formed man like Mr.. Scandrett out of their
deliberations 1t is also thought that Mr..
Temple will want to be on the board
and if he is put there then Mr. Auten may be
left out AT present there is no certainty
as to who the five directors will be.
