INTERSTATE FRAUDS.
The Federal Grand Jury at Chicago X
turns q Number of Indictments.

The Federal Grand Jury at Chicago Re-
turns q Number of Indictments.
CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-The federal grand
jury which has been investigating the
interstate commerce violations. today
returned indictments as follows: For
obtaining a rebate less than card tariff,
the following members of the firm OF
Swift & Co.. Gustavus S. Swift, Edwin
G. Swift, Louis F. Swift and D. Edward
Harpnell. For the same offense, George
and John Firmenick, glucose manufac-
turers of Marshalltown, Iowa. For Civ.
ing rates less than the established
tariff: George B. Spriggs, general
freight agent of the New York, Chicago
and st. Louis railway. In the last six
months Swift & Co. received over $780,
900 in rebates for meat shipped over the
Nickel Plate road. The violation OF the
law committed by the Firmenicks is
greater than those charged against the
Swifts. The glucose company they con-
troll at Marshalltown is an immense con-
Germ, having branches all over the west
and an Office in Chicago. 1t was shown
that over $4,000 in rebates was paid to
the firm in the last six months, by the
Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City road.
That only one railroad man, Spriggs,
was indicted, was somewhat of
a surprise, but not a few other railroad
ers barely escaped. The evidence
against them was not sufficiently strong.
None of those indicted were arrested,
but they will be compelled to appear
and give bail for trial. The penalty for
freight rate Determinations is set down
in law at from $1,000 to $4,000 fine, and
imprisonment of one to three years, or
both, in the discretion OF the court.
The revelations of the methods pur-
sued in favoring big shippers were
astounding. The system and its secrecy
was almost perfect, and the jury at one
time seriously considered abandoning
the effort to get at the guilty parties.
With the aid of Special AgentsKretsch-
mar, OF the interstate commerce COM
mission, and District Attorney Mil
christ, however, they finally succeeded
in getting down to bedrock.
The men who worked the wires for
Swift & Co. were Frankly, Bowles and
Arthur Fay. General Freight Agent
Spriggs, it is said, was caught because
he had become reckless in handling
matters. Special Agent Kretschmar
left tonight for San Francisco, where he
will work up some cases against the
Pacific coast roads.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

Professor Graham Bell believes that re-
cent experiments at Boston prove the feast
bility of telephoning to Europe. He says
it will be cheaper than cable telegraphing.
A new mineral resembling asphalt has
been discovered in Texas, which is claimed
to be the most perfect insulator known for
electric purposes. 1t is unaffected by water,
alkalies or acids, and the supply seems to
be almost inexhaustible.
Stephen Groth, of London, claims to
have invented tidal motor. He proposes
to put dynamo at suitable spot on the
North sea coast and to transmit to Berlin
electric power for lighting and heating the
city and driving it's machinery The dy-
namo will be operated, he says, by the
tides ebb and flow.
A successful test was made between st.
Paul and Chicago of q writing telegraph
instrument, the latest invention in the
telegraph world. The distance is 400 miles,
and a number of penciled messages were
successfully duplicated in st. Paul. The
inventors claim that the instrument will
do away with the Morse system.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Almond meal sprinkled in the bath
makes the skin soft and white.
To keep salt dry for table use, mix one
teaspoonful of cornstarch with one cupful

New tins should be set over the fire with

A pound of sulphur burned in tightly

Paint stains that are dry and old may be
removed from cotton or woolen goods with
chloroform. First cover the spot with
olive oil or butter.
Ribbons and other silks should be put
away for preservation in brown paper, as
the chloride of lime used in manufacturing
white paper frequently produces discolora-

Beware of that common practice of dip

Episcopal Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - The third
davis session oil the Episcopal congress
began this morning with Bishop Dudley
Of Kentucky presiding. A number Of
ESSAYS were read on the general subject
OF new and old parochial methods.
In the afternoon Rev. M. Lindes OF
New Haven delivered an address, in
which he protested against indiscrimin-
ate and sweeping condemnation of all
church societies. He pleaded earnestly
for discrimination and wise choice be-
tween the possible agencies that are at
hand, saying in the first place, organi-
cations should be simple; work of socie-
ties should not be substituted for per-
sonal work, nor should the church be
permitted to obscure the personal ele-
ment which made the preaching OF min
listers in the past 50 successful.
Rev. Mr.. Jones OF Wilkesbarre, Pa,
followed on much the same lines as
Rev. Mr.. Lindes. The need of the day,
said he, was not for simpler or more
perfect organization in the matter OF
church work, but fuller and more COM
plete conservation to God.
Rev. Mr.. Mellichampe OF North Caro-
lima spoke on the success that attends
organized effort in large city churches,
as compared with the organized work of
the smaller parishes.
At this evenings session "Catholic
and Protestant incidents in the life OF
the church" was discussed, various pa
pers being read and addresses made.

smugglers Do a Profitable Business In
Chinese and Opium.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Disappearing
Special Agent Tingle, of the treasury
department, in his annual report, shows
that during the past fiscal year special
agents seized good to the value of Sl4S,-
236. and recovered $225, 600 on account
of seizures, fines, etc. He gives several
instances of fraudulent importations,
and refers to the difficulties under
which the agents worked, especially in
guarding against smuggling from Can
ada. The number of officers for pre-
ventive duty on that long frontier does
not exceed twenty, and their efforts are
necessarily to large degree futile. A
similar condition exists on the boundary
of Mexico. The Puget sound district
furnished spleudid facilities for the SNUG
Cling of both duitable goods and Chinese
into the country.
Fingle SAYS he is reliably informed
that during the past year 125 900 pounds
of crude opium was imported and manu-
factured at Victoria, making about TO-
UUV pOuuuS VI IhO PiCPaiSo al ioiSAO iOA
smoking purposes, and nearly every
pound of the latter was smuggled into
the United States. The enormous
profits in opium smuggling, due en-
tirely to the high duty in this country,
have induced the employment OF large
capital and a great number OF bold,
skillful men to engage in the illicit
traffic.
Referring to the Chinese, he says the
exclusion laws are practically nullif1ed
by the clandestine introduction OF them
through Canada. When Chinaman
enters Canada, he pays head
tax of $50. He gets certif-
icate which enables him to return
to Canada without further payment
should he be deferred in trying to enter
the United States. Our courts in sew
eral cases have given the construction
that Canada and not China was the
country whence these Cinnamon came
within the meaning of the law. The
effect of this is that Cinnamon caught
and returned to Canada, Immediately
repeat their attempt to steal into the
United States. Repeated instances OF
this have occurred, and in this manner
the object of the restriction act is prac-
tically defeated.
Tingle urges the revision OF the GUS
toms district and the laws, with q view
to the adjustment or consolidation OF
districts in which little or no business is
done. that more aid may be given
where needed, and new and compre-
hensive legislation upon the needs OF
the northwest and Mexican frontiers is
urgently demanded.

Emery's Injuries Liable to Be Fatal.
Kennedy's Peculiar Accjdent-Miss
Ebbe's Escape Gripman sta mp
Prevents a Smashup.

A frightful accident occurred yester-
day afternoon at about O'Clock on Los
Angeles near Commercial streets, in
which young man named William S.
Emery was seriously and probably
fatally hurt. Emery is about 22 years
old, and is employed by the Western
Union Telegraph company. Lately he
has been in charge OF the office at the
Westminster hotel. Several people saw
the accident, but they each tell differ
entsstory in regard to the matter. EN-
cry was riding a horse. The animal
became scared at passing car and
bolted into wagon coming from the
other direction. The young rider was
thrown and his left leg was torn in a
horrible manner. One OF the horses
harnessed to the wagon was killed by
the collision. The wounded man was
carried in an unconscious condition into
the store of Percival & Chamber,
covered with blood. Drs. Percival and
Chambers attended him. An hour later
he was taken to the receiving hospital
in the patrol wagon. Doctors Choate,
Bryant, Percival and Hagan were in
attendance last evening. The left leg is
torn for about eight inches just where
the leg joins the body. The veins and
arteries are severed and the flesh is
ripped in a horrible manner. The doc
tors will not know until today whether
there is any chance for recovery.
A little boy who saw the accident
states that Emery was riding horse
and leading another just before the acci-
dent took place.
HIS HIP FRACTURED.
Yesterday afternoon, just few
minutes before o'clock, there was
quite serious accident at the Union
iron works. Dan Kennedy, an em-
ployee at the works, was wheeling up
coke when the barrow capsized in some
way. Kennedy had his hip dislocated
and fractured as the result of the acci-
dent. He was conveyed to the receiv-
ing hospital. where Drs. Murphy
and Ainsworth dressed his wounds. He
will recover.
MISS EBBE's ESCAPE.

He Tells the Same Story as the Alb
bott Boys.

bott Boys.
Albert Acevado is making hard fight
to escape conviction on the charge OF
burglarizing a Chinese store last Sep
tember, and the jury will most likely
have the case to decide by this evening.
Amos and George Abbott, with the
defendant, are charged with the burg
larry. Both testified yesterday, and if
their sworn statements be true, Acevado
is entirely innocent of the crime charged
against him.
Amos Abbott said Acevado stopped at
his house about O'Clock on the
night of the robbery and the
two went to Chinatown to in
vest in lottery ticket. They
went to the store which was burglarized.
George Abbott was with them. They
bought tickets and left, but went back
late in the evening to see whether they
had won. When they reached the store
they heard that the burglary had been
committed. Abbott explained Acevado's
possession of the opium pipe, which he
sold to Benjamin for So, by stating that
man named Warren Brush gave the
defendant the pipe to sell. The witness
swore that the defendant was with him
all the evening Of the burglary.
Acevado was placed on the stand and
swore to precisely the same story told
by Abbott, even down to the pipe mat
ter. He said Brush told him to
get So for the pipe, and was
to give him half dollar if he succeeded
in disposing of it. Benjamin was
pointed out to him as a possible custo-
mer, and he succeeded in selling it.
Acevado emphatically denies being in
certain places where witnesses for the
state swore to seeing him; and taken al
together, he told very plausible story,
which the prosecution claim to be able
to knock out completely by rebuttal
testimony. A number of witnesses have
been summoned for this morning.

ted murder, but only in the second de-
gree. A strong effort was made to Sc

gree. The prisoners counsel closed

tion. He closed aboutnoon. The court

etc., were heard, but the officers finally
lodged Almy in prison, where he was

tanned regarding the safety of the
North German Lloyd steamer Elder,
which sailed from New York November
7th, were dispelled by the receipt of a
telegram from Northampton, stating
that she had arrived there this morn

The cause of the delay in the arriving

BROKERS BITTEN.
A Bogus Cablegram Causes Heavy Board

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The members of
the board OF trade are indignant over
the circulation on the board yesterday
OF an alleged cablegram from United
States Minister Smith in Russia, saying
ukase had been signed referring to the
prohibition of wheat exports. Wheat
jumped up a cent. Brokers rushed in
to cover, and losses were extremely
heavy. Later it was learned the dis
patch was bogus. Brokers have de-
manded that the directors make every
effort to ascertain the source OF the false
report, and if the culprit is detected he
will be made an example of.

British Papers Comment ON Secre-

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The News, in its
financial article this morning, referring
to the speech of Secretary Foster at the
chamber of commerce banquet, in New
York, Tuesday night, says; Secretary
Fosters speech is confession that opin-
ion in America has gone too far to draw
back. The United States treasury is in
the same position as the banks. 1t has
to face the probability of being saddled
with an immense stock OF useless silver
while taking measures to hold so large a
reserve OF gold that it might just as well
not keep silver at all. The Americans
seem to be so occupied with crop and
trade prospects, that they neglect cur
rency matters 80 long as their material
progress is not violently interrupted"
