EIGHT INDICTMENTS RETURNED.
The Grand Jury Gets Down to
Business.
The True Bills Are All Against One
Public Officer.
crimes That Were Committed in Con
nectiOn with the Public Revenue.
The OhiciRi Said to BE
Now In Hiding.

The grand jury gave signs yesterday
afternoon that 1t was alive and had been
grinding industriously during the few
weeks It has been in existence.
About o'clock they sent word down
to Judge Smith who was trying a civil
case In department one that they wished
to make a partial report.
Judge Smith sent word back that he
would receive them at any time they
chose to make their appearance during
the afternoon.
In about half an hour Foreman Day
and 10 OF the other members OF the
grand jury filed into the court room and
as many as could took seats in the jury
box while the balance OF the inquisition-
ere stood up.
Among the members who were pres
sent waR Grand Juror Stein, whose pres
ence indicated that whatever indict-
ments the body had returned they were
not at this time in connection with the
city board of education, OF which he is q
member.
Upon being asked by the court II they
desired to make report, Foreman Day
replied that they did, and handed into
the hands Of the judge batch of eight
indictments.
Judge Smith looked them over and
held a whispered consultation with
Clerk Forester, who took the myBtsri-
ous documents and placed them in bis
inside pocket without even looking at
them. The jury then filed out.
The secret OF the indictments was
very carefully guarded, and it was only
after considerable difficulty that an ink
ling could be obtained as to what they
were about.
1t was finally ascertained that the
eight indictments are against one man,
charging him with crimes in connection
with the public revenues.
The exceeding strictness with which
the grand jury has guarded the secret
Of the indictments is due to the fact
that the individual against whom they
are brought lie not directly where the
officers can put their hands on him.
They have been afraid that II his
name should leak out it would result in
his skipping over the Mexican border or
being numbered with those who sud
denly and completely drop out of sight.
Some people say that the indicted
man is in the city, but there are others
who assert that he is far away and still
going, and that the officers in whose
hands the indictments have been
placed will never get within reaching
distance Of him.
Judge Smith did not announce what
bonds he had fixed upon the indict-
ments, but warrants were very shortly
made out and in the sheriff's office.

Henry Gilmore Reid to Answer for
Embe ezzIement.
Henry Gilmore, who was arrested on
complaint of Mrs. Elizabeth Cummings
for ernbezzlement, had his preliminary
examination in Justice Seaman's court
Yesterday. He was held to answer,
with bail fixed at $1,000.

1T is such simple thing and go COM
mon that very few people, unless it is a

there are a great many cases OF catsrrh

in this neglect of the simplest precaution

crack was detected i'm the masonry on

boards were placed in front OF the corner
TO prevent any one from walking on the

The inspector OF buildings has been no.

then another layer OF meat and SO on until
the dish is full. Wet with good
broth in which an onion has been
boiled. IL you have no broth
make a little by boiling the bones and
trimmings OF your veal. Put over the top
layer OF cracker crumbs wet into a paste
with a little cream and mixed with a
