Hon. John e. RUSSELL; Judge 18th

SIRAWe have the honor to report
that, having been organized on the
first day of the present term. we have
since endeavored as we best could
to fully investigate as to crimes
committed within the body Of our
county We have examined during
said time % cases of violation of the
criminal law, and have returned %
bills of indictment. We have declined
to find in three cases; have ignored
six; and we nave referred three to
the Investigation of the next grand
jury. We have had to examine the
accumulated business of twelve
months, as our September term Of
court was upon the petition of many
citizens, not held. Several crimes
of peculiar atrocity have been
brought to our attention, but we are
much gratified to be able to report
that crime has greatly decreased in
our county, and we attribute this
improved condition of affairs in
great measure to the impartial but
sure administrator of our criminal
laws by your honor's court.
Mob law is entirely unknown in
our county and this is due to popular
confidence in our officials who are
earnestly together to enforce our
laws and protect the lives and pro
perty of our citizens. We owe much
to our capable and courteous district
attorney, sheriff and clerk in render
ing our work effective.
Our roads are found to be in fairly
good condition, our main road
formerly in wretched condition is
now good. If our taxpayers would
paw more readily and quickly, more
good might be done. We have ex-
amined the Jail and find it kept in
as good condition as possible: We
would suggest that our commission
ers' court should take such steps as
they may deem proper to improve
the sanitary condition of the Jail.
We think it very much needed. We
examined the food and found that
the prisoners were furnished a suffi-
cheney of good and wholesome food
We are satisfied that the sum allows
ed the sheriff is not sufficient to
compensate him for keeping the
prisoners.
That cur county is to be congrat-
ulated which possesses efficient Of
hcials, and we feel that We would
fail in our duty if we did not express
our qualification at the good and
honest administration of our county
affairs. We have not thought it
necessary to appoint an investigating
committee.
Again thanking your honor for
courteous assistance rendered By the
court and its officials, we respectful
Iy ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted.

NEW CASTLE HALL PLANS.
knights of Pythias Will Build q
Smaller Structure.

At a recent meeting Of the directors of the
Castle Hall Association it was decided to
make some material changes in the plans
of the new building which the knights of
Pythias of the State expect to erect on
Massachusetts avenue at its intersection
with Pennsylvania street. The change in
the original plans was necessitated by the
failure of the association to raise sufficient
funds. 1t was the original intention to
erect an eight-story building, but since the
directors have been disappointed in nego-
tiating a loan of $16O,OO0 more modest
structure will be put up.
In looking over the financial field for
loan the association found it would be a
difficult matter to secure $3.50 900 on the
property offered as security. 1t was then
thought $4,000 of additional stock in the
enterprise might be disposed of and that
a loan of $4,000 might be negotiated. But
the directors soon found that they could
not secure subscribers for this amount of
stock, and it was determined to abandon
the original plans
At meeting of the directors last Monday
night it was agreed by resolution to borrow
&c. 600 of stock can be sold, and the direc-
tors say they can borrow $4,000 more on
this amount of paid-up stock. The direc-
tors agreed on the proposition to erect a.
less costly building and Architect Winter
rowd was instructed to prepare a new set
Chicago this week looking up new ideas for
the building. Members of the Castle Hall
Association say it is the intention to have
the building completed by next August.

THE PRESS AND MORALS.
Comments of John Ii. Conner in q
Lecture Last Night.

John b. Conner. state statistician, deliv-
cred a lecture before the McCulloch Club,
at Plymouth Church, last evening on the
subject of the Center of Responsibility in
City Government" There was d good au-
dience present, and Mr.. Corners lecture
was heard with interest throughout. Mr..
Conner took an optimistic view of the prog
ress of the race, and showed that the sys-
tenn of municipal government was purer
and better now than ever before, fact
largely due to the improved public con-
science and watchfulness of the newspa-
pers. His conclusion was that the respon-
sibility for municipal government, good or
bad, lay with the people themselves. In dis
cussing the part played by newspapers in
municipal government Mr.. Conner said:
1T has been said that the business of the
daily press was that of raising hell and
selling newspapers but really the methods
of this quickened moral sense has in all the
years had its inception very largely in the
fearless work of a free press, even at the
peril of libel suits. Take d noted instance
in the greatest city of this country, where
the greatest numbers of bad men in
contact. and where the press drove Tweed
from power and into prison. A more recent
instance was the work of the Lexow COM
mittee in the same city, which the press
utilized in bringing in a new form of mu-
nicipal government, which has resulted in
great reforms by centralizing authority and
responsibility. Even Tammany has been
made tolerable by the work of the press in
quickening the moral sense, and that So
ciety has been compelled 10 mend its ways
before this palladium of & free government.
Pantata. the new coinage Of the Lexow
committee, was already very old father
in-law of villainy by another name pos
sessing only new methods, but was I'M
covered TO the public by the press and
given the new and impressive name that
awakened a purpose and pointed the way
to suppress the old villain. That has been
the method of every substantial reform in
this and every other country that has
free press The world can well afford to
concede the privileges of revenue in the
good accruing TO the public by this kind of
raising hell +"
