TO INDIoT MoRE CAPTAINS.

NEW YORK. Oct. 90. 1s94.-It was
stated this morning in the Criminal
Court building from an authoritative
source that the Grand Jury would GER
tainly present indictments against at
least two of the three captains who
have been dismissed by the Police Com
missioners. The Grand Jury will prob
ably adjourn on Wednesday, unless Judge
Cowing decides that the public interests
demand further attendance. 1t is known
that the Jurors are anxious to make a
complete job of the police business before
adjournment.
Indictments against ex-Captains Devery
and Stephenson may be olooked for at
any moment. Their cases, it is said, have
already received some consideration. In
the case of Captain Cross, of the Fifth
street station, there is said to be proba-
bility that no action will be taken. 1t
is not unlikely that the Grand Jury has
disagreed as to the strength of the evil
dence against Cross.
The last days of the jury promise to
be very busy in view of the necessity of
passing upon Illegal registration matters
which are crowding in thicllly, as well as
getting rid of the remaining police cases.

THE ENTHUSIASTIC EIGHTH
Rousing Democratic Mass Meeting
Cacneyss Popularity.

That Democrats are numerous in the
Eighth Assembly district was clearly
demonstrated last Saturday evening by
the crowds that filed Kessler's Hall on

| fication meeting. The large hall was
jammed to the doors. Fully 1900 people
were present Every speaker received
vociferous applause. A fife and drum
corps added more life to the event. Judge
McGrath acted as chairman. The first
speaker introduced was. Colonel Edwin
A. Stevens. The Congressional candi-
date made rattling speech. He said
that if he was elected Congressman by
the voters at the coming election, he
would vote for the principles contained
in the Chicago platform of 92, and would
spare no pains in doing his duty.
Michael ]. O'Donnell, fIudson'S future
County Clerk. was next introduced. He
said he was confident he could satisfac-
torily fulfil the office of County Clerk,
and desired the aid of all the Democrats
of the county.
Mr.. George L. Record was the next
speaker introduced. He made the speech
of the evening. He procuced forcible
with loud applause.
David H. Caguey, the candidate for
Assembly. nominated in the, Eighth dis
popularity in the Eighth was clearly
shown. Cheer after cheer greeted him,
and it was several minutes before he
could speak. 1t was the candidates first
speech from the platform, and it was a
success. He said-"AIr. Chairman and
fellow-Democrats,- l am a candidate
for Assembly from the Eighth Assembly
district, l am justly proud of being
nominated directly by the people. l can
assure you that if you see fit to send me
to the Assembly, all bills coming before
me will receive just and due considera-

All sincere Democrats should take off
their coats at this election, and give the
whole of the ticket their loyal support.
Hilarius Pattberg made an eloquent
speech. He said he did not believe. in

the people should be benefited by the
marked increase in the value of railroad
stock.
There will be two more mass meetings
in Kessler's Hall before election.

LADY TOM sAWYERs.
They Papered the Day Nursery the
Way He Painted the Fence.

The ladies of the Day Nursery Board
of the Peoples Palace have been having
some little trouble and great deal of
merriment In getting the Nursery in
order before the arrival of the new ma
tren. They decided that as the paint
looked worn off and the ceilings dirty it
would be well to paint and kalsomine;
but how to do it was the question. The
funds were low and certainly would not
admit of expenditure in that line. Final
ly bright thought struck one of them,
and after communicating it to the others
they decided to follow her idea. Accord
ingly they sailed forth to Wood & Men
aghs and begged enough paint to cover
the woodwork, and enough kalsomine
for the ceilings was bought.
One thought she knew how to paint so
she took the brush with outward brav-
ado and inward tremblings, and began
the work. Another tried her hand at
the ceiling, while the remaining mem
bers scrubbed the floors and washed the
windows on the same principle tnat
makes children play keeping house
when they wouldn't wash a dish at
home.
AS in the case of the bride who re-
ceived a silver tea service and had to
buy everything else to match. the ladies
were soon rendered very weary of the
wall paper. Besides being ugly 1t show
ed the marks of many dirty little fingers
and the ladies at last made up their
minds 1t was indispensable to paper the
walls Accordingly they went to paper
store and bought some rolls of wall
paper. Two ladies took the front room
and two the back room and all four be-
came temporarily house decorators. Each
thought she knew the way to hang paper
from watching men in the business, so
they went to work. 1t took some time
to get thoroughly accustomed to the
ladders, in fact it is an open question
whether, even now that the work is
done, anyone of them can mount a lad
der without an idea that it is going to
sit down on the floor. But great was
the rivalry! While one was hanging the
paper, the others trimmed the edges
and put on the paste. All were enthusi-
astic for this part of the job There was
no ladder in it, Finally the rooms were
finished and a range having been begged
from MIR. Ringle, a new iron bed from
Flint's of New York and ton of coal
from O. H. Perry, the ladies sat down to
view their work. OF course each pair
thought their room the better. though to
an impartial observer the rooms look
equally well. The rooms are now sweet
and clean at any rate, and the ladies
have the satisfaction of knowing that
1t was all done without man.
The Day Nursery, 1888 Grand street, is
now open to receive children, and moth
ers who wish to earn days wages may
have their little ones well taken care
of and amused for five cents a day.
