GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION.
Investigating the Hall of Records
Architect Gfeless Check Book.

From one end to the other the long cor
ridor in the Court House was crowded with
witnesses yesterday who had been sum-
moned to testify before the Grand Jury.
Three of the cases which were inquired into
were of more than ordinary interest. The
most important of these was the examin-
alton into the contract made by the officials
of the Town of Union with the Hudson
Electric Light Company to supply the town
with electric light for five years. 1t ap-
peared that the enterprising town officials
had followed the pern1cious example OF the
Street and Water Commissioners of this city
and had made a contract which is claimed
to be illegal and entirely for the benefit of
the Electric Light Company. The Town
Clerk and other officials were subpenaed to
testify in this matter.
The next case of interest taken up by the
Grand Jury was that of Policeman John
Dougherty This guardian of the peace was
stationed at the Library Hall precinct of the
Second Aldermanic District during the cleo
ton for Alderman at Large last spring, and
it is alleged that he intimidated Republican
voters and also followed them into polling
booths.
The entire Election Board was subp@naed
Yesterday before the Grand Jury. The
board was composed of John j. Quinn,
Judge; William Bonner, William Schu-
mont and Christian Kaiser, inspectors, and
William Kenny and ]. Faith, clerk. Other
witnesses were also subp9naed in the case

and Joseph Cutley held a long conversation.
and together made brief examination OF
the Hall of Records. Mr.. Cutley is the con-
tractor who did the stone and mason work
on this building. It is thought that the
Grand Jury will take some action concern
ing this notoriously constructed building,
Architect Giele was recently subp@naed to
produce his check book for two years back,
as well as in the investigation OF the Street
and Water Commissioners. Mr.. Gieie has
refused to produce the check book, and he
says, while he has nothing in it to conceal,
he will not make public his private bust
ness until compelled to do So He claims
that such demand has never been made by
any Grand Jury in this county, and that to
obey the Grand Jury would be to establish a
bad precedent When before the Grand
Jury, Giele Indignantly said that if he was
compelled to exhibit his private business to
that body, he would retaliate, should he ever
be member of Grand Jury, by forcing
every member of the present Grand Inquest
to exhibit their check books to it. 1t ap-
pears that Glele's threat has had weight with
the Grand Jury for the members have not
applied to the court, as Judge Lippincott di-
rected, to compel him to produce the check
book
The Grand Jury did not adjourn until
about seven o'clock. 1t will meet again to-
morrow, and will probably present some in
dictments

ernor Flower today, asking him to

better satisfied by such an appointment

to grant this request At the sugges-
tion of the Governor the committee
will have an amendment to

HAIR-PULLING SCENE.

Mrs Maria Hogan of York street and Mrs
Mary Caldwell of Wilton street, Lafayette,
met near Van Worst Park this morning and
had the liveliest kind of row.
The women were well dressed, and their
excited gesticulations soon attracted a
crowd about them. They called
each other all sorts of pet names
and were only deferred from snatching
lunches of hair as souveniers of the oc-
casion by the intervention of motorman.
Subsequently Mrs. Hogan, who appears to
have been the aggressor, was arraigned be-
fore Justice Weed and held for a further

the Clerk of the Court, Dennis Mclaughlin,

claimed that the money should have been
paid into the Court of Chancery, and this
caused the matter to be reviewed by Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet, who decided that the
money should have been paid into the Court
of Chancery, providing legal tender to the
owpers of the land, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company and the United Railway and
Canal Companies of New Jersey, and re-
fusal to accept it had been made

Wages from the Park Board.
New YORK. March Is, 1S94.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the bricklayers OF this
city claim to be starving, and have lately
been clamoring for work, John J. Donnelly,
of Bricklayers' Union No. Z, informed
President Tappen of the Park Board today,
that the union would not permit its mem
bers to work for the department for $50
for eight hours. The regular union rates
for bricklayers was so cents an hour, he
said, and as the season is at hand when they
make contracts with their bosses, if they
broke the rule, the bosses might take advan-
tage of it. He added, however, that the
bricklayers considered the proposition of the
Park Board to pay $3.50 day fair one in
view of the prevailing distress and lack of
work, but the Union did not wish to set the
precedent of working for low wages. The
department will not, it is said, pay more
