JuIlt o.
When a piece of machinery is
complicated, it becomes expensive
and the prudent man always Sc
lects the most simple to give the
best results. The same may apply
to our present Grand Jury System.
Our last circuit conrt has demon.
strated the fact that it has become
very cumbersome to the people Of
our county, and the men c,mpos-
ng our Grand Juries are good, men
who want to do justice, and exc
cute the law impartiaily. Yet l
believe they are often impose j upon
by designing parties who appear
before them with their greavences
which at first appear PLAUSIBLE
enough but when Investigated are
found to be nothing but malice
against the parties accused
and too often may be concocted
scheme to make costs on the State
ana County.
In view of all this have thought
of plan to submit to your readers,
by which think the bushes OF our
Grand Jury might be cut down and
thousands of dollars costs saved to
the people.
Now for the plan. lst. Let our
Justices be required to read and
write intelligently and let them be
required to read the law for twelve
months and become practical Law.
yers, 3rd. Let them have jurisdic-
tion over 81, 900 in civil cases giving
the right Of appeal. 4th. Let them
try all petite Larceny cases with
the power to impanel jury If nec-
essary. 5th. If they find the par
ty, guitylet them pass sentence and
let 1t be final. 9Th. Let them assess
their taxes in their respective dis
tricts as it was before the present
Revenue Law.
Under the present System there
is no inducement for men to be-
come candidates for that important
Office and we do not always get our
best men to become candidates.
believe to change our present
system would bring our best men
to the surface.
Further let our Grand Juries
remain and every one-who prose-
cutes secure the cost that may ac-
crue if the prosecution fails.
Isubmit this but don't claim it
perfect by any means and if any OF
your numerous readers can offer
any thing better will gladly ac-
cept it,. E. Keeper.

special says: Fuller information con-
cerning the killing of negroes in this
county Saturday night by a posse in
pursuit OF the murderer of Joe Isom,
shows that the total number of victims
is three.
They are: Sam Taylor, Ell Frazer
and Harry Sherod. The band Of armed
men, about $50 strong is now at Red
Bay, q swamp on the Ocolipo creek,
about three miles above the scene Of
the murder This swamp is surrounded
and Is being thoroughly searched by
men and dogs. No trace of Waverly
Pike, Isom's murderer, has yet been
found, and the general opinion Is that
he has left this section and is now many
miles from the scene of the crime. The
body of men in pursuit of him are keep
ing up the search in desultory manner
and have not much hope of finding him
in that neighborhood. An inquest was
held this morning over the bodies of
those who have been killed.
Justice of Peace Byrd, of the Morvin
district, acted as coroner. The verdict
of the jury was that Sam Taylor came
to his death at the hands of 4. w. Till
man, and the others at the hands of
unknown parties. Tlllman is brother
in-law of Isom. Everything is quiet
around Isom's house now and the prob
ability is that the crowd still search
ing for Pike will disperse after tonight
and that the worst of the trouble is
over.
Later information says that Governor
Atkinson has ordered the Valdosta
Videttes to report here for duty. The
troops will probably get here tonight.

the carriage being on the track, the
locomotive struck the vehicle squarely
and threw it and the occupants into

safety.

Paris, Dec. 24-General Mercier, min
lister of war, introduced today in the
chamber of deputies bill providing
the death penalty for such military
traitors as Captain Dreyfus.
Deputy Jaures, socialist, was dele
gated by his party to demand the abol-
ition of the death penalty in the army.
In the couGse of his attack upon the
government he said that Dreyfus es-
capped the death sentence because the
government feared the consequences of
executing him.
Premier Dupuy reproached Jaures for
voicing the theories of international
socialism on a subject which should
appeal to every Frenchman's loyalty.
you are the intenationalists, shout
ed Jaures in his reply, pointing to the
ministers. You favor the information
alism of Hebrew capitalists whom you
screen and protect. Yet these Hebrew
capitalists, whom you adopt as your
wards, are swindlers and scamps.'
The chamber was brought to a high
pitch of excitement by this harangue.
The socialists cheered approvingly.
The ministers interrupted the speaker
| frequently with their protests. AS
Jaures reached the climax of his
charges, NJ. Barthou, minister of public
works, sprang to his feet, and shouted:
You lie and you know you lie.'
Jaures reply was drowned in tumult
which was stilled after five minutes by
the presidents bell. There were many
calls for the censuring of Jaures, and
eventually De Brisson, the president
requested him to retract his accuse.

New York, Dec. 24.-The police COM
missioners did not meet today. 1t was
expected they would have q special
meeting to consider the confession
made before the LeXow committee last
Friday by Captain Schmittberger who
charged Inspectors Williams and Nc
Avoy with corruption. All the commits
sloners were at headquarters during the
day, but it was decided that there
would be no meeting till Friday.
Superintendent Byrnes was in con-
sultation with Commissioner Murray
late this afternoon and Inspector Will
Jams had conference with Commits
sioner Sheehan. So far as could be
learned the board will, at its meeting
on Friday next, take some action con-
cerning the general charges of corrup-
tion and bribery made by CAPTAIN
Schmittberger. Concerning Schmitt-
berger Commissioner Sheehan said this
afternoon that if the case of the Ten.
derloin commander came up before the
board he would certainly vote to sus-
pend him from duty.
Il was opposed to putting Captair
Creeden back on duty" he said, "and
will take the same position in Schmitt.
berger's case. Men who confess to hav.
Ing committed crimes are not, in my
opinion, fit to act as police officials"

CAMPBELL Is CHOSEN.

General Hastings Selects an Allegheny
Man for Factory Iuspector-Captain De.
laney to Be Made Superintendent of
Public Buildings-Thc Meaning of the
Transposition.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrisburg, Dec. 24.-The selection by
Governor-elect Hastings Of James
Campbell, of Pittsburg, for factory in
spector, to succeed Robert Watchorn.
was practically decided upon last Fri
day. and was definitely announced to-
day. Mr.. Campbell, who has long been
one of Senator Quay's trusted lieuten-
ants in Allegheny county, is president
of the Glass Blowers association, and
bears the Endorsement of the labor Or
ganizations generally. His appoint
ment was strongly urged by Chris L.
Magee and also, it is understood, by
Senator Cameron.
Governor Hastings had, at an early
day, distinctly promised the factory in
spectorship to Captain John C. De-
laney, now Of this city, but formerly of
Lackawanna county. Captain Delaney's
candidacy for this position had the ac-
tive support of Senator Quay, David
Martin and Lieutenant Governor Wat
res. The pressure of western Republi-
cans for recognition afterward became
SO great that General Hastings was i'm
PEELED to ask Captain Delaney If he
would be willing to accept, instead Of
the factory inspectorship the equally
lucrative position of superintendent of
public buildings and grounds. Rather
than cause the governor-elect embar-
rassment, Captain Delaney consented
to the substitution, and in consequence
his friends are assured that the cap
tain's name will be presented in due
time for the latter position.
The political significance Of Camp
bells selection is variously interpreted.
but 1t Is interesting to note that many
politicians hereabouts take 1t to mean
Cameron for senator in 1897, with q
possible effort, on the part of the in
coming administration, to control the
Pennsylvania delegation in the next
national convention for Hastings. 1t is
pointed out that had General Hastings
earnestly desired to redeem his promise
to Captain Delaney he could have done
so at the time he announced his cabinet,
and thus could have avoided the later
complications which impelled him to
select "a factory inspector from the
western part of the state. The posi-
bility of an ultimate estrangement be-
tween Hastings and the state organiza-
tion is more frequently spoken of now
than at any previous time. In any
event, the politics of the near future
will, it is believed, be replete with in
terest.
