INDICTMENT FOR PERJURY.

The Grand Jury Takes Further Acti on
in the Vignes Case.
Yesterday afternoon the grand jury
returned an indictment against H. @.
Vignes, charging him with perjury in
connection with the Ewing matter, in
which Vignes is charged with having
arranged to take $40 and procure Ewing
light sentence.
When the accusation asking for Vignes'
removal was made by the grand jury he
was suspended by Sheriff Cline and his
name removed from the rolls, which
left the accusation in peculiar condi-
ton. Vignes stated that he would ask
for the hearing any how but the removal
having taken place tis considered doubt
full whether or not it could be done.
The grand jury in returning the in
dictment charging perjury evidently de-
sired to probe the matter to the bottom.
Vignes was taken into custody during
the afternoon and his bond, fixed at
$4,000, was given last night. He claims
that he will establish his innocence at
the proper time.

MRS. BUNKER'S SUIT.

Resulting from the Fireworks' Explo-
sion Two Years Ago,
The trial of the damage snit OF Mrs,
Mary Bunker and children against s.
Guasti and the other members OF the
committee Of arrangements for the cee-
bration Of Columbus day, October q,
1892, was begun in Judge York's court
yesterday. 1t will be remembered that
at the fireworks display at night some
mortars exploded, killing several persons
and wounding a number of others.
Among those killed was Bernard Bun
ker, husband of the plaintiff. She was
left penniless, with a large family. An
attempt was made to hold Mr.. Wilson,
the fireworks manufacturer and man
ager OF the display, responsible for the
accident, but it was not successful. The
present suit, which is for $50, 900, seeks
to hold Mr.. Guasti and his associates
pecuniarily responsible for the death OF
Bernard Bunker.
The jury empaneled to try the case is
as follows:
0. W. Baldwin, T. E. Mills, J. G.
Dickson, II. @. Thomas, John Weber, r.
F. Balm, George 7. Cover, B. F. Van

present some, $40 boys and 68 girls in
this school. Their time is fully occupied
by diversity of commendable employ
ments; in the work rooms, school rooms,
care OF grounds and recreation.
There is plainly evinced by all the
officers connected with this institution q
hearty sympathy for the inmates and a
desire to 30 instruct them in the useful
arts and educate them, that they may
become useful citizens. We regard the
work done here as of high value to the
community, and we hope the system in
vogue here for the protection Of the
young will be extended 30 that a career
ofcrime will not be the only way boy
will have to obtain an education at the
public expense that will fit him fol q
useful life.
We bespeak more intimate acquaint-
ance with this school by our citizens.
We recommend that this school be put
on the same basis as our state normal
and ourxstste university, and the coun.
ties be not charged up with anything
special but the expense Of the school be
paid out of the general funds.
There should be 100 more acres of
land. Then garden, orchard and dairy
work could be increased and outdoor
employ ment given to many more of the
boys Snd girls and make the revenue OF
the place much greater than at present.
We also recommend an appropriation
for additional shops and trades build
ings to accommodate the increased num-
Der OF inmates.
Also an appropriation for fitting up
the attic OF the main building. which is
now in an unfurnished state and which
could be utilized if it were properly
fitted up.
CITY JAIL.
In the examination OF this institution
we found an inexcusable state of affairs.
We consider the prison insecure. The
cells are damp and cold and without
means of warming. The building is
badly affected throughout by sewer gas.
There is no suitable place for the deten-
ton of witnesses. separate apartment
for female or juvenile prisoners nor for
the matron to care for sick women and
children brought to the receiving hospi-
tai; neither is there room where q
portion of the force can be held in re-
serve.
The receiving hospital is entirely too
small. There are now confined so or 20
persons in this close, loud-Hmelling place.
The receiving hospital is the only plac Q
outside of the cells where prisoner can
be confined.
Under the circumstances it is surpris-
ing that the place is kept as clean as
it is.
There is urgent necessity for NOR Q
suitable quarters.
COUNTY JAIL.
We inspected this institution and
found it in. thoroughly good condition
throughout, being clean. we'll kept.
orderly and we'll ventilated.
We suggest that the Office and recep-
ton room be provided with furnishings
needed for the more orderly and safe
keeping of books and papers, aud for the
convenience Of persons who have occa-
sion to visit it for the transaction OF
business.

DORSEY FOUND NOT GUILTY.
The Ex-POliceman Proved a
Complete Alibi.
He Was Arrested for Disturbing, the
Peace.
Suspicious circumstances That Led to
His Arrest-How a Man At
tempted to BIackmaII
Young Lady.

Ex.Policeman T. ]. Dorsey was tried
in Justice Austin's court yesterday on
charge OF disturbing the peace. The
complaining witnesses were Miss NJ. E.
Hand OF 1919 South Hope street and
George Gunther, butcher.
The difficulty occurred Sunday even
ing, week ago, when Mr.. Gunther es-
corteG Miss Hand to her home. Soon
after the gentleman lett the young lady
at the gate. che was abruptly approached
by an unknown man, who said that he
was detective for the Humane society !;
that he had followed the couple from an
evil house, and that unless she gave him
money he would inform her parents of
her conduct. The young lady called to
Mr.. Gunther, who had not gone great
distance, and he speedily returned to her
assistance. Tho detective" ran away but
was pursued by both the young lady and
Mr.. Gunther. They caught him as he
was about to board Car and asked him
to explain his conduct. He replied that
he had told the young lady who he was
and that his name was Davis. After
come words the man dared Mr.. Gunther
to advance toward him: that if he did,
he would brain Mr.. Gunther. At this
Mr.. Gunther jumped for him and a
fight ensued, in which the stranger
struck him q severe blow on the head
with policeman's billy"
A Mr.. Fixes, who lives near by, heard
the row and ran out in time to see it
and aid Mr.. Gunther in disarming his
opponent. The unknown man was fin
ally released, and he made vain en-
deavor to recover his weapon.
Mr.. Guntber took the club to the po-
lice station where il was recognized as
having belonged to T. j. Dorsey when
he was on the force several years ago.
Mr.. Gunther found out where Dorsey
was employed, and he and Miss Hand
went there and identified him. They
Immediately swore out warrant for his
arrest.
When the case was called both Mr..
Gunther and Miss Hand swore to the
story as given, but Mr.. Fixes could net
positively identify Dorsey as the man he
encountered that night. While Mr..
| Ghnther was not positive that Dorsey
was the man, he was sure enough to
swear out complaint against him.
Secretary Cottle of the police depart
ment testified that Dorsey had owned a
similar club when on the force.
Mr.. Dorsey proved an alibi by testify
| ing that be was in his residence at
o'cock that night and remained there
until next morning, never going out OF
the house. Regarding the statement OF
Secretary Cottle that Dorsey had owned
such billy" when he WAS q member
of the police force, Dorsey said that hi
club was very different one, and coulC
in no wise be identified as the on,
Gunther took from the man that night
His statement was fully corroborate'
by his wife and brother-in-law, both o
whom testified that Dorsey could no
have left the house without their know
ing it; that he was at home at 8 o'clocl
and that he remained there until mex
morning.
There being doubt, the benefit of i
was given to Dorsey, and Judge Austin
discharged him.

THAT CHURCH FIGHT.

Conclus OF the Christian Church Case
in tho Court.
The suit brought several months ago
by the trustees of the Central Christian
church, on Fourteenth street, to recover
personal property from L. NJ. Anderson
ct al, was concluded in Judge Austin's
court yesterday. The court took the
case under advisement and has five days
in which to render judgment.
Some time ago trouble arose over the
passionate of Rev. Mr.. Wight, and Mr..
Anderson and others of the congregation
moved from the church building to q
hall in another part of the city, where
Mr.. Wight was allowed to continue as
the minister. In going away from the
church, Mr.. Anderson, as a deacon, and
his congregation took the effects OF the
church with them to the new house of
worship. Then the remaining officers
of the other congregation brought suit
to recover the property, which they
claim belongs to them as trustees.

The receipts OF the office Tor the year
were $34. 623 5S and the expenditures
were $2S, 727. 65. showing a net profit to
the county of s5895.23.
The recorder deserves special support
in his efforts to break up the practice OF
filing, at the expense OF the county, GER
tificates OF tax sales sold to individuals.
The practice has been to file these Ger.
tifcates at the expense of the county.
These numbered during last year 2555.
The recorder has very properly refused
to file these certificates unless the fees
were paid.

good condition in respect to general
cleanliness and tidiness.
The main building Ia q two-story
wooden building In bad state Of
preservation. 1t sits 80 close to the
ground that lack OF ventilation has
caused the decay of the floor and tim
bers. The rooms are small, without
ventilation and with crude and made
quate means of warming.
There are several rough board struc-
lures at some little distance from the
main building, neatly whitewashed, to
be used when occasion requires.
The lot on which these are situated

There is, and can be, no proper sys-

earliest date practicable and new
building be erected ON site where good
drainage can be had and where sunshine
can reach it at any hour of the day.
This, in our opinion. need not require
any excessive expenditure. possibly q
sum not larger than this property can
be sold for.
The humane view OF the case demands
it as we'll as a due regard for the health
OF our citizens, and we urgently recon-
mend it.
We would also suggest that the old
bedding, blankets, etc.. now stored in
one OF the outbuildings, be condemned
and destroyed.
