LTOfOR DEALERS FEAR THE GRAND JURY.

The selection OF Edward A. Newell to be the fore
man OF the January Grand Jury has caused much
comment among liquor dealers m the city, because
Mr. Newell is the treasurer of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime. OF which the Rev. DIR. Charles
II Parkkurs Is the president In the talk about the
selection Of Mr. Newell ii said that the Grand
Jury would probably devote great deal Of It's
time to the consideration Of excise cases. and might
bring in many indictments against violators OF the
excise law.
II said that when the Grand Jury began the
term there were only sixty-seven cases OF ordi-
nary crimes In the Tombs awaiting disposition.
The jury may speedily dispose OF those. and then
turn its attention to excise violations.
There are in the office of the Distrct-Attorney
several hundred excise complaints OF recent date.
nd in addition there 5000 old complaints. which
will be outlawed in few weeks II not acted on.
These Will probably be taken up and considered.
A notable fact in connection with the expected
excise crusade is tfat Judge Cowlng a week ago
raised the bal In excise from $500 TO $500. and
I'm made IL high $1,000. This was
nearly equivalent to sending some saoonkeepers
and bartenders to Jail until their trial Judge Cow
Ing also objected ~ the transfer OF such cases
from Special to General Sessions.

DEATH OF THOS. c. HANNUM.

Was Washington Correspondent of a
Pittsburg Paper.
Thomas c. Hannum, a former well-known
correspondent, died at Coshohocken, Pa,
yesterday.
Tom as he was familiarly known.
came TO Washington for the Pittsburg
Post in 1887. He was their correspondent
for several years, and was afterwam con-
Dected with the Cincinnati Inquirer bu-
reau. Early in the present Administration
Secretary Carlisle, at the request of the
newspaper men, appointed Tom spe-
cial Treasury agent in New Mexico.
1t was the hope of Toms" friends that
the climate would build him up, but it
failed to do So. He came back from the
South about year ago and has been with
his mother since.
During his day he was one OF the wits of
the press gallery, and many a laugh has fol-
lowed one OF his many bon mots. As big
hearted as the day was long he was uni
versal favonte and his death will be re-
GREETED by many.
He was the compiler of the Democratic
handbook OF 1888, and was well known
the country from his political
writings. The remains will probably be
Inferred at Bellefonte, Ohio.
