THE COUNTY PAID LITTLE.

Regarding the first and second queries
addressed to the Board Of County Com
missioners, in yesterdays issue of the
Register by a correspondent, it may be
said that the work done on the National
road, near the entrance to Wheeling
Park. was in the nature Of a very de-
cided public Improvement yet the
Wheeling and Elm Grove Railway Com
pany paid the greater portion OF the
cost, the county's share being quite
small. The pike has Deen very greatly
benefited at the point named by the
change.

A rather unusual and very important
argument was heard by Judge Hugus,
in the Criminal Court, yesterday morn
ing. in the cases of State V. w. T. and
Elizabeth Emblem, against whom eight
indictments were brought at the pres
ent term for renting houses to be used
as houses of i'll fame.
The matter came up in the form OF
a plea in abatement, filed by ]. J. Con-
if. attorney for the defense, in which
it was held
First, That the Clerk did not issue
a venire facias for the grand jury thirty
DAYS before the commencement Of the
term at which defendants were indict-
ed.
Second, That the Clerk did not sum
mon the Clerk OF the County Court to
appear at his office as required by law,
at least twenty days before the COM
mencement Of the term.
Third, That the paper purporting TO
have been issued on the 10th day OF
February was not issued in fact until
the 18th day Of February, and that the
paper requiring the Clerk of the County
Court to appear was served on the
14th day of February, and that the
Clerk aforesaid did not actually appear
until the 18th day Of February. on
which day some names for the grand
jury were selected.
Fourth. That the Clerk Of the Circuit
Court never issued. a venire facias at
all. but merely senCa memorandum TO
the Sheriff's Office, and that the Sheriff
then notified the gentlemen named in
that memorandum that they had been
selected as grand jurors; but that this
paper was not a process OF any kind,
and was not issued on the day it pur-
ported TO be issued on its face.
These matters were deliberately ar
gued by Mr. Coniff, and we're replied
10 by Prosecuting Attorney Howard
the Court taking the whole matter IN
der Amusement
There IS a popular impression that
in the event the plea is sustained by
the Court, the whole business Of the
term. including the indictments found
will be invslidated, but this is not the
case. and but a few causes will be af-
fected. they being only cases in which
no plea had been made heretofore.

motion to set aside the verdict was
argued and submitted. The cases Of

ANNUAL TOUR.

The Council Fire Committee Visited the
Engine Houses, Yesterday.
The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment met at the City Hall at one
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and en-
barked in the patrol wagon for the an
nual tour OF the several engine and
hose houses. The Vigilant was first
visited. then the Island, then the Chem
ical, then the Atlantic, and the trip was
finished up with the South Side houses.
At all the houses small repairs were
found necessary, as usual. The Allan
Tic barracks was condemned in toto, as
not worth spending any more money
on. The hook and ladder house needs
a new front, as it has sagged down con-
siderably, and some changes are also
wanted in the front Of the Eighth ward
building.

LILIPUTIANS

A great many can still recall the
story OF excitement that agitated the
world when Gen. Tom Thumb and his
wife, assisted by Miss Minnie Warren
and dashing Commodore Mutt, first
made their appearance before the pub
lie. The fame and popularity Of the
quartette spread like wild-fire, and on
their tours throughout the country
they were welcomed everywhere BY
large crowds. To the children in par
ticular the four were a source OF ever
lasting wonder and delight. and those
who had been called upon to stand be-
side them on the platform became OBJ
jects OF deepest envy and admiration
10 their play-mates. Gathering togeth-
er a company of Liliputians and larger
artists, they are now playing the capa-
city Of the theatres throughout the
country. These famous people will be
at the Grand Thursday. Friday and
Saturday evenings, and Saturday matt
nee. They give a wonderful perform
ance that pleases both old and young.

New York, June 19.-The following are the
total net receipts of cotton at all ports since
Suns Cotton Review.

New York, June 19.-The SUMS cotton re-
view says: Cotton opened irregular July de-
Ginning point and September 2 points: a
little later July and August were to 4
points below the closing prices of yesterday.
AT one time December and January were
point lower than last night, but toward
the close the whole list advanced, and this
crop ended to 9 points higher than yester-
day, while the next advanced 4 to 6 points,
closing firm with sales of 400 bales.
Todays features: 1t was q small local
market, in which little covering and some
buying for long account were sufficient to
put up prices. Some are beginning to. wake
up to the fact that the recent circular of
Ellison & Co. was quite builish, showing as

in England, but on the continent and point

Chicago 'Change.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 19.--The wheat trade
was of a regulation sort today, and scarcely
any reference to the nominations at st.
Louis yesterday was heard. The routine
statistical news rather tended to produce
an easy feeling, and prices declined imme-
diately after the opening. Crop damage
stories were numerous, however. and al
still they eventually encouraged short COW
ering, with a rally which carried prices
above the final quotations of yesterday.
September wheat opened at 5Sas@5S1sc, sold
between 571a@57ss and 591Ac, closing. at 5S7sc,
re higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was irregular, closing nominally firm and
ne higher.
Corn-No noticeable Improvement in BUSH
ness in the corn market was perceptible.
The trade was entirely of a local and scalp
ing character. Operations were based on
the action of wheat and the buying and
selling were to great extent against privt-
leges. September corn opened at 29Q291sc,
sold between 20 and 2Sssc, closing at 29A@
29asc, b@Ac higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
Oats early were easy and lower, both on
their own position respecting the crop
prospects and on. account OF the weakness
which surrounded them. Enough strength

further along in the session to enable prices
ITO recover their previous loss. =,
equally as discouraging state as was any
of the grain markets. The run OF hogs at
the yards was heavy this morning, when
fact tended to discomfit holders and buyers
of products. September pork closed loc un-

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


New York, June 19.-(SpeciaL)- 1.-THE mar
ket today, except for August, was stupidity
dull until the last thirty minutes in the
forenoon owing to reports that considerable
lots of cotton are on the way to New York
from various points south, for delivery upon
July and August contracts, those months
became very weak. August, which had
opened at 7.2S, declined to 7.22 and remained
depressed during most of the day. In the
last hour the leading German bear, who
has lately become bullsh, bought literally
and those who had sold August in the
morning FASTENED to cover, causing quick
advance of that month to 7.35. The close
was firm with 7.S4 bid for August While
the changes in August covered a range of
13 points, the fluctuations of October and
November were easily within a range of 8
points. The Chronicle crop report tomor
row will be decidedly less favorable and
prices are likely to be higher, but upon any
good rally we think cotton is a sale.
