JURY


latter with 1.-The fiendish assault on the

| statement: We have thoroughly invests
gated the lynchiug Of Sydney Randolph and
have failed to find any evidence to mpli-
cate Others in the crime" What others"
can herein be referred to? Surely Randolph
did not lynch himself, and the grand jury
| cannot mean to charge him with that crime
II is evident that the grand jury did not
| intend to discover any of RaHdniph's lynch
erS, and it is equally plain that it utterly
ignored the charge of Judge Henderson
chat they had nothing TO do with the lynch
ers' guilt or innocence. The concluding
sentence of the report fits the preceding
portion like a glove: Our sheriff having
been censured in regard to the lynching of
Randolph, we wish to express our regrets
and wish to exunerate him and his jailor
from all accusations of blame in the mat

time, ink and paper, and, moreover, pre-
served their reputation for consistency,
even if not for dscharging their duty ac-
cordIng to their oaths. They have chosen,
however, to add insult to the injury IN
fIcted upon the good name of Montgomery
county and of the state of Maryland by the
uIlla wful killing of Randolph, i'll that they
trifled with the charge the judge had given
them, and pretended to have done some
thing which they did not do at all. For
nothing is more certain than that they cid
not thoroughly investigate the lynching Of
Randolph.
Judge Henderson has declared that he Will
call this case to the attention of every sue
ceeding grand jury until one shall be found
that Will make such an inquiry as the
heInous offense against established law ard
order and the proper administration OF Jus
tice calls for. 1t is to be hoped that lie
viii find the next grand inquest Of the
county more impressed with the obligations
resting upon it than the one just discharged
appears TO have been.

priations, the apathy

LII lack of facilities with

As far as the .'apa-
thy and prejudices of people" are con-
cerned, they are confined, of course, to
the more ignorant, to a class who oppose
vaccination as well as isolation and dis
infection, who, in fact, are unable to
comprehend the logic of modern santa
ton, and hence set themselves against its
operations i'll whatever way and as long
as they can But the Indictment of the
surgeon as to lack of appropriations is n
true bill. The Health Department is Sc
riously lampered by that fact. Neither
the preparation of antitoxine, which is
now generally admitted by the medical
profession to be n specific in the case of
diphtherla. nor the inspection and disin-
lection service can be carried on as it
should be, because there is not money
enough for the purpose
A serious obstacle in the way of sup
pressing the disease is the absence Of
n hospital for minor contagious diseases
II is almost painful to discuss this matter
for it seems absurd that in great city
like Washington tie way to establishing
such u one should not have been found long
ago. There is imperative need OF it, and
the intelligent portion of the community
should lend its help to the Commissioners
to secure a site for such an institution,
and also assist them and DR.. Woodward
in obtaining the appropriations necessary
to stamp out and prevent, as far as pos
sible, the recurrence Of diseases OF this
kind.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Good Weather Makes a Temporary Boom
In Rnalnnaa.

New YORK April 1S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says; The
sudden change from sleighing to mid
summer heat, with fair skies in most
cities, has tested the prevalent idea that
good weather only was needed TO bring
general improvement of business Every
where there has been more retail buying,
and in some branches better demand at
wholesale and at the works has resulted,
but not as yet in most lines There is no
abatement OF the almost universal dispo-
sition to deal with unusual conservatism,
and not to anticipate future wants, and
this has been especially conspicuous where
combinations have been formed or prices
advanced. The comparative infrequency
of serious failures, with money markets
less disturbed since gold exports began
than might have been expected, helps TO
give encouragement, but does not kindle
speculative fires so that such improvement
RG appears is mainly of healthy sort.
Bradstreets review says: Favorable
weather except in some northwestern
states has stimulated demand for season
able merchandise, notably light summer
clothing. On the whole the week presents
distinct gain. This Is not so much ap-
parent at eastern centers, except Balti,
more and Pittsburg as in the central Mis-
sissippi river valley. At some northwest
ern cities the movement of merchandise
has declined but at number east it
unchanged, while southern cities in mo
instances report business quiet, and
others less favorable.
The total business failures in the United
States are PA this week, against 231 last
week. 2l9 in the corresponding week of
1895, 2l2 in 1894 and 217 in 1898, which is a
smaller excess than the average increase
weekly during the first quarter of the cur
rent year

THE BURDEN DIAMONDS
They Were Stolen by Two Servants OF
the Household.
RECOVERED BY LONDON POLICE
The Thieves Endeavored to Dispose of thu
Jewels to Bond Street Jeweler, Who
Promptly Reported-The Burdens
Going to England

LONDON, April IS The arrests made on
Bond street of William Dunlop, described
Rs a valet, and William Turner, said to be
footman, are important ones. The pris-
oners said they left the employment of a
gentleman in New York recently. In Dun
lop's pocket the police found diamonds
valued at $l5,0OO believed to have been
stolen, and a search of the room occupied
by the prisoners resulted in the discovery
of bracelets tiaras, rings, scarfpins set
with diamonds, emeralds and other jew
elry estimated to be worth $4,000
There is no doubt that the men are the
persons guilty of robbing Mr.. Burden, of
New York, in December last The Off
cials of the United States embassy have
cabled Secretary Olney to this effect, and
have asked for extradition papers.
Streeter, the Bond street jeweler called
at the United States embassy during the
day in reference to the Burden jewels. He
said the prisoners called on him last We'd
nesday and he Immediately saw that many
of the stones they wanted to sell had been
torn from their settings. while others were
black with dirt. He told the men he would
have them cleaned and make an offer on
Thursday. Turner and Dunlop left the
jewels with Streeter, and the latter COM
municated with the police. Consequently
when the prisoners called at Streeters'
store the detectives were outside waiting
for them. Streeter handed them back the
| jewels, the men left the store, the jeweler
having informed them that he did not
wish to buy the stones, and on reaching
the street they were arrested.
Today Ambassador Bayard received a
cablegram from Secretary Olney announc-
ing the fact that requisition papers will
be forthcoming, and asking the London
authorities to hold the suspected men.
| NEW YORK, April 1S.-William Turner
and William Dunlop were in the employ
of 1. Townsend Burden at the time of the
great diamond robbery. Two weeks ago
Mr.. Burden reported to Captain O'Brien,
at police headquarters, that woman
servant had made what she called a con-
fession. The said Turner, who was the
butler, had stolen the jewels and had kept
them in the house for some time after
wards. He had concealed them in a ham.
Turner left Mr.. Burdens employ seven
weeks ago, and Dunlap left four weeks
later. Mr. and Mrs. Burden sailed for
Europe today for the purpose of identify
ing the jewels

Engineer John II. Pollard and District
Superintendent J. j. Bradigan have further
investigated the cause of the surface disturb
ance at the Williams and Titman properties,
on South Main street and say they do not
think it is a serious one, or that the proper
ties will be damaged They find from their
maps that the assures were not caused by
workings Of the Indian Ridge colliery, as at
first supposed, and it is their opinion that they
were caused by some drift driven from the.
Lehigh Valley railroad several years ag o and
not located at present. They claim that all
the workings from Indian Ridge under the
properties are in the lower, or Buck Noun
tain vein, and but very little coal has been
taken out 1t is probable that the officials
will try and locate the old drift they believe
exists.

Lieutenant Lee Struck With Pitcher
in a Raid.
EIGHTEEN MEN WERE ARRESTED,

Lees Face Badly Confused.

The police made a raid on Lithuanian

about IL o'clock last night to abate nuisance
complained of by neighbors and struck a
hornets nest. Lieutenant Thomas Lee was
struck by glass pitcher during the fight and
momentarily stunned. He was also kicked
while lying upon the floor and the left side
of his face was badly confused. Eighteen
men and woman were taken from the
house.

and a woman named Mrs. Eva Dolgala, of

lock the doors Mrs. Dolgala struck Chief
Tosh two or three blows in the
face with her fists when he tried to
keep her from Policeman Lee and then
! the men behind her made rush. Somebody
in the crowd fired a shot that hit nobody and
| Policeman Lee drew his revolver and fired
| two shots into the floor. This had the effect
of stopping the shooting from the other side,
| but Lee was almost at the same moment struck
in the face with glass pitcher. The blow
lelled him to the floor. Pitchers and dishes
were then thrown in all directions but
nobody was seriously injured Chief Tosh
assisted Lee to his feet and wanted him to
retire and leave the balance of the work to
himself Goodman and Foltz, but the officer
said he was not badly injured and remained
until eighteen men and Mrs. Dolgala were
arrested and taken out of the house. Among
them was William LuFshus, the West Lloyd
street saloonkeeper, and Frank Dougall, the
boarding boss. They and two others paid
fines and costs and were discharged. Four
teen others were committed to the lookup in
