GRAND JURY is GRINDING.
And Will Soon Tackle the In
solvent Institutions.

solvent Institutions.
The grand jury has not yet finished
the petty cases, but expects to today.
Yesterday the jury found an Indictment
against John Matson, the man who is
charged with having, on Thanksgiving
evening, criminally assaulted the nine.
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George MattsOn, who keep the Grand
hotel, at 20 Eighteenth street north. 1t
is not announced that the Indictment
was found, but as all the witnesses were
examined Wednesday, and Matson was
not released yesterday, there is little
room for doubt OIL the subject.
Miss Edith Russell, the young lady
accused OF raising money on piano
which did not belong to her, was dis
charged yeaterday. 1t was 1umored
that Miss Russell would be persuaded to
tell the grand jury all she knows about
the artful ways of some of the loan
agents and chattel mortgage sharks.
but she did not do so.
1t Is believed that the grand Jury
proposes to find out whether there is as
much gambling going on in the city as
Ala. McAllister says there is. What
gives color to this belief is that the
grand jury has subp9naed Aid. Meal
lister to appear this morning and testify
how he gained his Information regard
ing the location of the alleged gambling
joints and what the information is based
upon.
1t is probable that the grand Jury

FOND OF CLUB LIFE,
Prof Winchell's '.Mosquo" Admit,
ted to the Commercial Club.

Prof Winchell's Mosque Admit
ted to the Commercial Club.
The Commercial club initiated new
member yesterday, and his name is
Mosque. There is nothing peculiar
about this, however. only that Mosque
is the cognomen of big brlndle-colored
mastlff, and he Is probably the first dog
that has been admitted, regularly to
clubdom by the payment of initiation
fees in America. Mosque is q big,
handsome fellow, and, although not a
year old, he is accounted to be the larg-
est and finest dog of his genus in the
city. Recently he has had quite his
tory. and this accounts for his being adj
mitted to the club. He was, OF rather
is, owned by Prof. Winchell, the state
geolOglSt. and up to few weeks ago he
occupied special house by himself at
the university, being admired 10y all the
students. and, in fact, the pet of the
campus.
One day recently he was stolen by an
impecunlous railroad man who had lost
his position, and being out of work was
hard pressed for money. By the latter
he was sold to Frank Cothran, manager
OF the Commercial club, who paid S25
for him, the price being considered dirt
cheap. Mr.. Cothran kept him at the
club house, where he became general
favorite, and was admired by all for his
doggiSh strength and beauty.
In the meantime PI0f. WIncheIl in
serted all advertisement offering re-
ward for Mosque, and it was soon
learned that the latter was either at the
club or at Mr.. Cothran's bouse, where
he went evenings and edited the chill
dren, with whom he had become greatly
attached. Last Wednesday Prof. VIM
chell called at the club and identified
his dog, and after explanations he took
him back to his old home at the
college. donating $40 to Mr.. Cothran.
IN view of the good keeping he had re-
ceived, the latter putting it in the gem
eral fund of the club. But Mosque had
evidently grown tired of the rocks and
fossils or the learned geologist. and a
taste of club life had proved too much
for him. Yesterday morning he made
his way back to the club. and when Mr..
Cothran appeared the noble dog was
fairly frantic with joy. The best of it
Is, he insists upon staying, and it was
decided that he should be made an
honorary member, the $40 given by
Winchell going to pay his initiation fee,
ana hereafter he is to have the freedom
of the club

NEW YORK, Dec. THE Jury to try
Henry c. F. Myer was completed at 4
O'Clock this afternoon. Ninety-seven
citizens had been examined today be-
fore the two empty seats In the box

moned on special panels during the
week $40 had been examined.
The jury is composed of exception

Assistant District Attorney John F..
Mcintyre, who pre- pared the case, made
the opening address. Mr.. Mcintyre
spoke nearly two hours. and detailed
what was probably the most fascinating
and at the same time the most heinOus
OF Machanelian crimes ever heard of
within the walls of New York court
room. When he described the last days
or the unfortunate Brandt and the sad
and fiendiSh method of the defendant, a
perceptible shudder ran through his
more than attentive listeners.
Mr.. Mcintyre first described the in
dlctment against the defendant, who
ne declared was guilty of murder in the
hrst degree, together with his wife,
Marie, whom he married several years
before. He called the jury's attention

Its Symptoms Described by DR.

Its Symptoms Described by DR..
Baird, OF New York.
Among the notable arrivals in the city
yesterday was DR.. N. T. Baird, the emil
nent physician of New York city, who
is considered an authority on the SUBJ
Ject of la grippe, which just at present
is supposed to be prevalent in the North
west.
In speaking of the Influenza which is
epidemic more or less all over the coun-
try, he said:
ION the first attack there is sneezing.
acute bronchitis, mental depression and
pains in the muscles. The second time
finds the catarrhal affection less. but
the pains in the limbs, resembling
rheumatism, remain longer and more
acute. The third attack Is followed bv
still more sc we're pains in the limbs. pro-
ducing intense agony. There have been
several cases OF the fourth attack from
the same disease in New York this win
ter. and we find that in these cases the
lungs are seriously affscted, and the
seizure is almost as sudden and devoid
OF preliminary warning as a cholera at

MIR. HORTON sPHCULATED.
The Insolvent Furniture Dealer
"Disoloses' in Court.

The lnSoivent Furniture Dealer
''Disoloses" in Court.
Some Of the business affairs of A. E..
Horton, the insolvent furniture dealer,
were aired in the district court yester-
day before Judge Smith. The purpose
was to make Mr.. Horton disclose what
he had done with his money, and ex.
plain how it happened that goods were
sold to parties day or two before the
assignment and not delivered; and, fur
thermore, how it was that the same
goods were in some instances sold to
two different parties. Mr.. Horton
favored the court with a few eXplana-
lions. but his memory was unfortunately
defective. He testified that he had
sold 800 yards of carpet to Mcleod
d Smith after the sheriff had
levied an attachment on part of his
stock. He said that he sold the carpet
in part payment of debt to Mcleod &
Smith. Horton admitted that he had
recently lost $500 specializing in sugar
on the stock exchange, and that prior to
this speculation he was out 5000 Or
|, 81 900 more on the same commodity.
The proceedings were then adjourned
until this morning.
Horizons assignee is James T. Morris,
but prior to the filing of the asSignee's
bond, the creditors petitioned for the
appointment of a receiver. The hearing
on this application will take place
Saturday. In the meantime a deputy
sheriff is still in possession of the store,
and legion of creditors are continually
swooping down upon him with replevin
papers. Fully 200 services have been
made during the last two days and more
are expected. The result of all this is
that the goods are disappearing rapidly
out of the front door. The heaviest
creditors are the manufacturers and
wholesalers who supplied Horton with
goods, but good many are individual
purchasers, who paid their money OH
the promise that the goods would be
delivered to them. Some of these latter
find themselves out of pocket the entire
amount paid, as the goods have disap-
peared, as it was no trick at all to tear
off the cards marked "sold" from the
numerous articles, which. it is claimed,
some Of the replevining creditors have
