Superior Stirred Up by the Stark
weather Investigation.
Chicago Aug. 20.-A Aspscialfromsuperio
Wis. says: The fact that the special grand
jury to-day begins its probing into the al
legged -misdoings of Rev. Charles Stark
weather, the impeached and deposed mayor
OF this city, and incidentally into the con-
duct of other ex-affice holders, has caused
an exodus from this city.
During the past two days no less than
twenty people, some of them men of wealth,
and standing, have left Superior, and are
now in cities where deputy sheriffs cannot
find them.
All of the keepers of disorderiy houses
who are alleged to have paid to Mayor
Starkweather and the police large sums
for the privilege of breaking the law, have
gone, and In many instances they have
taken all of the inmates of their places with
them, SO that the grand jury will secure
but little evidence in this direction.

The captain gives the dates of six
letters written by himself to the president
OF the company, in which he says he called
