A RECORD BROKEN.
The Grand jury AdjOurns To-Day With
Over 1000 Bills Returned.

The Grand jury Adjourns To-Day With
Over 1000 Bills Returned.
The grand jury will close its sessions to-
day with the largest record of bills returned
in the history of the county. Over 200
bills have already been returned, nearly 100
more than any other jury ever acted on, and
there is considerable work to be done to-
day. While the jury has been in session
the Jail has been filled and practically
emptied of court cases several times.
1t had been the intention on Monday to
adjourn sine die yesterday, but on Tuesday
15 or 20 new cases were committed to jail
for trial and another days session was
made necessary. The Homestead cases
made no appreciable effect on the total
number of bills returned by the jury, al
though they increased the work largely.
In each of the Homestead cases all those
indicted on each charge were included in
one bill of Indictment.
According to the opinion of County De-
tective Beltzhoover the record of the grand
jury shows an increase of crime in general,
and without the Homestead affair the
record would still have been broken with
many bills to spare. The indications are
that the courts will have remarkably busy
term aside from the work of trying the
Homestead cases

ALLEGHENY cCUNTY's GROWTH.
The Commissioners Estimate the Popula-
ton at 7O0,O

ton at 100000.
According to calculation of the County
Commissioners Allegheny county has now
population of 700, 600. In 1890. when the
census was taken the county contained 552,-
900 people. The Commissioners estimate the
population from the number of registered
voters. The registry list contains nearly
200 names, but as there is always large
number OF voters who neglect to register the
number really exceeds that figure consider
ably. The Commissioners figures are taken
from the registry list, estimating, as is the
rule, five persons to each vote.
''One of the best indications have seen
of the great growth of our population"
said Commissioner Boyle, twas the crowd
which turned out on the streets last Satur-
day night during the parade. I recollect
in previous Presidential campaigns Fifth
avenue was generally packed with people
from Smithfield street down, and Smith
field street was generally we'll filled. too,
when big parades went by. But on Grant
street we generally had lonesome time of
it, there being few spectators on any part
of it. Liberty street and Penn avenue were
nearly as bad. This year there is a marked
difference. On Saturday night every street
we traversed seemed to be packed with
people, in both cities. 1t is not, in my
opinion, because the cause of democracy is
so much more popular, but because there
are so many more people. The population
is larger. 1 have noted the same thing
every campaign year since the wal"

ROBBED HIS BR0THER-1N-LAw.

A. F. Ramsey Confesses to Having Stolen
From His Relative.
Some time during Tuesday night the resi-
dence and shop of George Whittmer at
Rupert street and Preble avenue was en-
tered and gold watch valued at $75 and
$40 so in change were taken. Superin-
tendent Muth detailed Detective thinner
man to look into the case. He concluded
that someone acquainted with the premises
had committed the deed. Upon inquiry he
learned that A. F. Ramsey, brother-in-
law of Whittmer, was suspected. The
detective went at once to the resi-
dence of George Whittmer. Sr., near the
end of California avenue, and found
his man. After considerable talk Ramsey
confessed having committed the theft and
implicated Jack Delaney, who, he said.
planned the robbery and coaxed him to do
the work.
Delanev's description was given to the
officers and about 8 o'clock last night he was
captured by Officer Richardson and sent to
the Allegheny police station. Superin-
tendent Muth said last night that Delaney
was mixed up in the Woods Run robberies
which took place last August. A hearing
will be held this morning by Alderman Nc

PREPARING TO EvACUATE.

The Sixteenth Regiment Expects to Go
Home To-Day-General Snowden's Old
Headquarters Easily Captured in Sham
Battle-The Colored Man-Eater Caught.
Preparation fosAthe removal of the troops
from Homestead was begun last night The
boys, while they had no definite orders,
were all packing up and some expected to
leave by daylight. Colonel Hulings was in
the city to-day to confer with Brigadier
General Wiley, and shortly after six addi-
tional deputy sheriffs were sent up. Five
of the most reliable deputies were notified
to arise at o'clock in the morning to at
tend the breaking of camp. Among the
new deputies are several Pittsburg police
men who were noted for their fidelity
to duty and sternness in suppress
ing any disorder which occurred upon their
beats. Sheriff McCleary has now 80 depr-
ties on duty, and feels that he can depend
upon them, for they are the result of care
full selection, many of them having been at
Homestead from 60 to so days.
The sham battle of tine Sixteenth Regi-
ment yesterday afternoon was witnessed by
1000 people. 1t was q remarkable sight.
Colonel Hulings started to storm the
heights of the schoolhouse hill in possession
of an imaginary enemy. The soldiers ad-
vanced in the extended order, firing as they
charged, and the rapidity with which they
surrounded such natural obstacles as 10-foot
gullies and heavy cuts for street grades was
roundly praised by number of veterans OF
the late war who were present.
For several weeks the non-union men on
Shanty Hill have been frightened by col
ored man, who rushed into the village at
nights and bit the first man he caught, then
fed. He was burly fellow and his attacks
were so sudden that he invariably escaped.
During the sham battle George Wahl, who
had a warrant for mayhem and disorderly
conduct against him, placed him under
arrest. The man fought desperately, and
being quite large, Vail and he rolled 30
feet down the hill before he was subdued.
He gave his name as Hayward Lawson.
Detectives Roselle, Wahl and Wilson
searched the rink for Pinkerton rifles They
found three Pinkerton uniforms, four
blankets and an empty gun case. They now
think the most of the guns are out of town.
Neighbors of John Fox, whose Gearing
town residence was ON fire Tuesday night,
are inclined to doubt his story and to be-
lieye that the fire was accidental. Fox in
sists though that lighted torch wasthrown
into a barrel of waste in the cellar and If
he and his family had not awakened they
would all have been burned to death. Two
policemen were sent out to the house, but
failed to find any clew. As a result of re-
ported disturbances there deputy sheriff
will be Kept at Gearingtown in the future.
