Mako up tho Average Grand Jury's
Report.

Tho grand jury came in last evening
about 8 o'clock and reported over sixty
truo bills, aud only four and part OF
another as not true. Tho list is inter.
esting and unusually long considering
tho fewnoss OF the liquor selling cases
and Keepers Of houses OF i'll fame which
ordinarily mako up go great u part Of
long lists OF indictments found. Tho
only mot true bill" OF special interest
was that against Julius Jacobs, accused
of trying to set fro to his store oil Main
street.
Wilhelm Maicr, Mrs. Frank Leslie
and Frank Church were indicted for
murder, and Jack Probasco for tho out
rage upon tho little Jackson girl, aii
four olfenses for which tho penalty may
be death. The robberies and l~arconies
arc unusually numerous, and there are
several unusual otfenscs on the list.
Tho feature oil tho report especially
notable, aside from the number OF grave
~felonies, Is the way tho owners OF
houses who rent thcm to DO used rs
houses Of i'll fame were caught. A
number Of these wcre indicted, one
couple getting eleven true bills against
them. 1t is commonly said that whom
landlords nro fined Tor suck renting,
however, they manage to get tho tenants
TO pay tho fine, which, OF course, defeats
the entire purpose OF tho indictment.
II jail sentence could DO imposed it
might have a better effect.
Miss McGumphrey was not prosont-
cd for cutting Ada Foster, MS Ada was
tooiltfrom tho effects OF her injuries to
appear and testify. The man who cut
Ed kunkel's throat in n boat house on
the South Side was not indicted, be-
cause he has never been found.
After the report had been received
and the grand jury discharged, it was
found that IL of the indictments for
renting q house was incorrectly endors-
ed, the evidence showing that Minnie
Iulant was the person who rented q
house to Jessie Monticello. The ind;ct-
ment was changed to read accordingly,
but the endorsement on the back was
overlooked. This will raise the ques-
ton whether an erroneous endorse
ment, read 10 .he jury without dissent,
affects tho validity OF tho indictment.
The true bills returned were as fol-

some Lively Speeches lat tho Delawars
Baptist Union Meeting.


At yesterdays session OF the Delaware
Baptist Union the chief topic was de-
bate on "The Desirability Of Forming q
New Association !" Rev s. 3. Wood
ward made the first address he advocated
the withdrawal OF the Union from the
Philadelphia Baptist Association, for the
purpose Of forming an organization 10 be
known as Delaware Baptist Association,
r also said that the Philadelphia $3.50
citation was large enough and that the
Delaware Baptist Union was pouring its
strength into the Philadelphia associa-
tion.
Rev r B. Cook D D., favored a new
association but did not think the time
had yet arrived
Rev, o, g. Buddington said "It Is a
question whether the Delaware Union
will get out OF the Philadelphia AssociA-
tion or wait to be put out.
Rev. w. r. Patton did not apprehend
that the union would be kicked out Of
the Philadelphia Association. The
union should proceed prudently and
cautiously. Before taking action In the
matter the views OF the members OF the
churches should be obtained Rev. @ h..
Williams said there is no doubt but that
the Philadelphia Association Is getting
too big, aud urged that the sentiment
Of the churches in regard TO
forming another union be taken.
Dr. Cook said the union could
not afford to give up Grocer Theological
Seminary and the church at Upland
Rev. T b. Lewis said the Philadelphia
Ascension Is too large. The union has
the right number to get along finely II
the union lea yes the Philsdelphia Asso.
olssion Il will be stronger and have
everyth ng to gain by IT, Mr.. Woodward
said the proposed change ought not
hinge on any one church. The seminary
ought not to be mentioned because be
longs to the denomination.
Finally committee composed OF
President Weston OF Grocer TheDlogica
Seminary: Rev. s. s. Woodward o
Chester; Rev d. F Fir OF South Chester
aud Washington Jones aud Rev . g
Buddington Of this city, was appointed e
