JOINTIsT ON GRAND JURY.
Son of w. C. Niece Arrested For Sell
ing Liquor Contrary to Law.

Son of w. C. Niece Arrested For Sell
ing Liquor Contrary to Law.
The police have arrested Ross Niece,
one of the grand jurors, on the charge
of selling liquor. He will be tried
this evening in police court.
Ross Niece and his father have been in
business at sos East Fourth street. They
sell candy, pop, 'hop tea" and various
other things. Some time ago the police
secured something supposed to be beer
from the elder Niece. but it has not yet
been analysed They however secured
enough evidence to warrant the arrest of
the son, and q warrant was accordingly
sworn out.
The young man did not appear to be
startled by his arrest, but when he was
being taken to the police station he
tossed little account book into cellar
way. Sergeant Donovan saw him throw
the book away and he secured 1t. 1t
was found to be record of the accounts
with his customers. Nearly all the items
entered are "hop teal or ginger" The
police say that the ''hop tea' is beer and
the ''ginger" whisky.
A search was made of Nece's place but
nothing discriminating was found. A
man who accompanied the police when
| the warrant was issued is supposed to
have notified Niece of the plan to arrest
him and that he hid his liquor before the
police arrived.
1t ia said that in all the indictments
found by the grand jury against jointists
| there has been one vote in the negative,
aud it is now understood from
| what source that vote came. There
was some agitation about having Niece
taken off the jury but the matter was
| finally abandoned.
The grand jury has not indicted Niece
but it is not unlikely that effort will
| be made to secure his indictment even
| though he is member of the jury.
| Then there will be the unusual spectacle
of jury finding bill against one of
| its own number

WHAT ST. JOHN SAID

To the Railroad Men at the Y M C. A.
Hall Sunday.
The audience that greeted Ex-Gover-
nor John P ST. John at his lecture to the
members of the Railroad Y. M. G. A,
yesterday afternoon at its rooms on East
Fourth street was about as large as the
rooms would permit. The auditors were
not confined to railroad men. In the
audience were Rev. II. d. Fisher, Judge
EIdridge, R B. GemmelI and several
other personal friends of Mr.. st. John.
The ex-governor is aging in appear
ance. He has slight stoop TO his
shoulders and his hair and mustache are
grayer than many Topeka people re-
member them. There is nothing of age
his lecture of about an hour on tsCapi-
tal' was caught, every word, by his eager
hearers, many of whom were compelled
to stand out in the other rooms Iistening
at the doorways.
THE capital l am going to talk about
today" said Governor ST. John, sis not
the capital of the gold power nor of the
railway corporations nor of the mouoDo-
lies. 1 will talk about the capital of
honest, religious, upright manhood.
There is often an idea among young
men that a lowly position should be de-
spised and that they should not work
with these hands. l tell you there is
many a man on the section today who is
more honorable than many a United
States senator. a man can be lust as
honorable shoveling dirt as in the presi-
Dental chair.

trampling the laws under foot; men who
are teaching anarchy, and are profess
sional criminals. Let us pray for a

York. Give Us a sober nation and we

HERE'S NEW ORATOR.
Mr.. TOwne, the Silver Republican From
Minnesota.

A new orator has appeared in the house
in the person of Mr.. Towne of Minnesota.
He i3 les than 40 years old, light of build,
with scholars head, a broad forehead, q
smooth shaven face, tapering sharply to
the chin, and specialized eyes, His first
appearance in public life was made when
he took his sect in congress last Deem
Der. Mr.. Towne is a silver Republican,
who has armed himself for the conflict for
the restoration of silver by patient research
and deep thought. His manner and
method of oratory are good, his speech
temperate and conservative, his argumen-
tative style close and direct, with good
command of language and knowledge of
the scientific methods of the student of
financial questions.
1t is rare that any speaker in the house
upon tho subject of silver, unless he be an
experienced debater of the standing of Mr..
Dingley, commands the attention of more
than dozen or 90 members.
Recently Mr.. Towne spoke for nearly
IA hours to a very full and attentive
house, so eager to hear him, SO pleased
with his oratory and SO entertained by
his argument that three times an extern
sion of time was granted to him, and in
the end he was given indefinite leave to
continue his remarks.
During the discussion he exhibited to
the members of the house series of charts
demonstrating, as he claimed, beyond
caviI, that since 1873 the decline of the
prices OF staple commodities in the mar
kets of the world has coincided substan-
italy with the decline of the price of sill
, yer, and that these declines have accom-
( panied a corresponding increase of the
price of gold; also that the price of silver
cannot be accounted for, as 1T usually Is
done in financial discussions, by an ex-
traordinary output from the mines.
When Mr.. Towne took his seat, stream
of members from both sides of the house
poured through the main aisle to congrat-
ulate him. For several minutes the aisle
was packed with members, many reach
ing over others shoulders to grasp Mr..
Townes hand. Mr.. Payne of New York,
like faithful presiding officer and friend
of gold, pounded upon his desk and or
dered the members to leave Mr.. Towne
alone. Though he yelled at the top of his
lungs and they were Immediately in front
of him, they did not pay the slightest at
tention, but con tinued to scramble through
the isles like sheep in pursuit of the bell
weEhe=. One or two amused gold mer
called out to Mr.. Payne to give the boys
a chance to be heard. New York World

When placed on the witness stand Mrs.

services at all it was at the request of
her lawyer.
