ARE THEY Indicted {?
Grand Jury investigates the
Million Dollar City Hall
Monstrosity.

The Grand Jury was in session yes
terday afternoon. 1t was quite a lengthy
session and it is said to have been a
stormy one.
The Garnd Jurors appointed a special
committee to investigate the matter after
Judge Lippincott's charge delivered about
a month ago. Expert Maynicke's report
was referred to the Committee. A re-
port to the full jury was submitted yes
terday afternoon. 1t Is said that the
report was not favorable to those inter-
ested in the construction of the million
dollar building. In fact, 1t is said the
committee recommended very strongly
that several people be indicted.
The report was backed up by further
evidence from Expert Maynicke, who
was s~ubpoenaed by the Grand Jury, and
who was before hat body for nearly two
hours. answering question about the
many flaws and faults that he had dis
covered in the building.
Rumor has 1t that a majority OF the
Grand Jurors voted to indict all of those
interested in the work, but that, after
discussing the matter at some length,
when another session is to be held. An.
other rumor has it that the City Hal
Commissioners, together with Louis H.
Broome, the $17,G coo architect, were in

The many rumors about the city In

ERROR IN THE RECORD.
Court OF Error Makes n Correction In
the Gas COmpany.s Cases.

Among the cases which occupied the
attention yesterday of the Court of
Error and Appeals in Trenton were the
cases of Board of Finance of Jersey City
against the Consumers las Company,
and two other cases by the Board
against the Jersey City Gas Light Com
pany and the Peoples Gas Light Com
pany, respectively.
Chancellor McGill announced that by
inadvertence at the las session the
court took a vote to affirm the judgment
of the Supreme Court. This vote, the
Chancellor said, was not in conformity
to the opinion. The judgment of the
Supreme Court set aside the contract
for lighting Jersey City with gas be-
cause the contracts extended over a
period of five years. but affirmed all the
proceedings a~ntedating the award of
the contracts. The opinion of this
court was intended to set aside all the
previous proceedings as well, and the
vote in this respect should have been
for reversal. The conclusion reached is
that both the proceedings and contracts
were illegal.
The error of form in the record was
discovered by Mr.. Charles L.. Corbin, Of
engaged by the city, and he drew the
attention of the court to the same with
the aforesaid result.
This reversal does not affect the pres
ent scheme to light the city with cleo
tricity,

oRGANIzINa A LITERARY CLUB.

In choosing a subject to be discussed
by your literary club, writes Louise
Stockton in November Ladies Home
Journal, be sure 1T is akin to your in
terest. If history is chosen take an
epoch, a great movement, rather than
long chronological details; If Shake
speare, two or three plays should be the
extreme limit for one winter; If litera-
ture, a few writers Of one school, unless IS
that event be sure to note well your
landmarks and to thoroughly neglect
the non-essentials. Do not have too large
or too diverse an organization. Never
have more fagots than the string will
bind. DO not be stingy in providing. what
is needed. Do not put al the work and
all the care on the president. Her office
is certain to be arduous; do not make it
necessary for her to carry the clock for
YOU. AXbove ali state your opinion be-
fore the meeting adiourns and not after,
selves, criticise and discuss the subject
and not the workers. This rule will pro-
mote and prevent the personal
criticism which does so much harm; Up
on each member rests the responsibility
of success or failure.
