BLOOD ON TIE MOON.
The Grand Jury Sticking Its
Nose Into All Sorts Of
Queer Places.

me Grand Jury met yesterday after
moor and the air is full of rumors today
about what they did. The Rev. H. t.
Beatty, who is Efoboken's Parkhurst
and pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church in thai city, was before the jury
at his own request. The fact that he
was there is positively known, but what
he is there for Is not so clear. Rumor
has it that he sought the indictment of
Mayor Pagan for falling to prevent bust
ness being done in a particular saloon in
Washington street. No indictment was
found.
The last time Mr.. Beatty was before
the Grand Jury he was there to tell what
he professed to know about Hoboken
Conncilmen and other officials being sus-
cept1ble to bribery, Mr.. Beatty had
made the charge Of bribery openly, but
when the Grand jury put him to the test
he was forced to admit that he had no
personal knowledge on the subject.
President Abernethy and Commissioners
West had a prolonged seance with the
jury. That is the fact, and the rumor
is thai they were questioned about Re-
publican appointments which have been
made since they have had control of the
department.. President Abernethy had a
llst OF the appointments made and he and
commissioner West were questioned as
70 VINO recommended the appointments,
AND at whose solicitations they were
made. Rumor stops at that, no one on
the outside being able to surmise the OBJ
iect OF the investigation or the result of

TAFPY FOR THE JURORS.
Judge H~udspeth Discharges Part of
the Present papeI

b MT Panel.
Inc era of economy in the courts is
slowly but surely developing. Yesterday
afternoon Judge Hudspeth laid off twelve
Of the thirty-six jurors who nave been
attending to all the criminal and civil
business during the past three or four
weeks Tw~enty-four were retained be-
cause Judge Nevius may want them for
g. few days in the Circuit Court and Judge
Hudspeth will want them in the General
Sessions Court next Monday when George
McGovern, who was convicted of the
burglary at e. A. Dugan's feed store on
November 5, 1896, will have his new trial.
All the Constables in the rear court.
except Constable Wise, were discharged
for the term. One of them will be at
court each day to keep Constable Wise
from being lonesome and all of them
Will be on duty on Thursday for the
Special Sessions. 1t is understood that
after next Monday the remaining jurors
and constables will be discharged and
then the county will be at no expense
for the courts except the salaries Of the
Judges, the Prosecutor and his assist
ants and a few other officials.
In discharging the jurors Judge Hud-
speth seemed to ave struck one of his
finest veins of satire. He thanked the
jurors and complimented them upon the
Intelligence and ability with which, they
had considered the cases brought before
them. He said that some of their YER
diets were far reaching and had lone
much to strengthen law and order In the
community. Some of the verdicts were
not exactly in accordance with the evil
dence, but the Court had no doubt but
that the jurors had exercised their best
Judgment.

Bankers Will Pay One and a

On and after March Is the city is to
be allowed ~ per cent. interest on it's
deposits by the several repositories,
which now are the Second, Third and

Some weeks ago, when it was decided
to demand interest from the repositories.
it was agreed that 2 per cent. should be
the lowest percentage accepted. The
Finance Commissioners, who were engf-
neering the plan, threatened that unless
2 per e was allowed the city would
seek such legislation as would allow the
deposit of the public funds In State in
situations which would gladly pay inter

called, and Messrs. William Hogencamp,
Henry Lembeck and Richard Washburn,
representing the Second, Third and Hud-
The formal demand of 2 per cent. was
made; but the bank representatives an
bounced that they would neither ac-
quiesce or deny the demand until after
the directors of their respective banks
had considered the subject.
At that time, however, it was made
quite apparent to the Finance Commits

This morning the final conference was
held. Messrs. Hogencamp, Washburn
and Lembeck were on hand and SO were
Finance Commissioners Brautigam, KEEL

and within fifteen minutes a conclusion
had been arrived at. All three banks

Headquarters q St. Louis
Traders Destroyed This
Morning Business
Suspended.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. "a, 1S97.-Shortly
after two o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in of the elevator shafts
Of the Merctants't Exchange building, and
before>the flames were gotten undef con-
gtrol the top. floor of the building, to-
gether, with its numerous offices, We're
destroyed, entailing an estimated loss of
about 100000
IN RESPONSE to. a general alarm about
twenty fire oengines crowded the streets
surrounding the Exchange, and in less
than twenty minutes two score of streams
of wateeo were pouring on the flames.
The fire was famed by a wind of consid-
erahle force, and the firemen found their
.Work a difficult task. The flames worked
their way to the top of the building and
in. less than an hour the entire eastern
roof of the structure was I'm ruins. The
upper floors of the building were occupied
by the St. Louis Clearing House Associa-
stfon, and a number of commission firms.
These offices were completely Quilted. The
fire worked inwards to the fourth and
third floors, but the fremen managed to
confine the flames to the northeast por-
ton of the building.
The immense trading hall was protect
ed from the flames, but was badly lam
aged by the immense quantity of water
poured in on the upper floors. At four
O'Clock the fire was under control. In ad-
ldition to the loss of the Clearing House
Association, the following firms are the
principal losers
Orthwein Commission Company, E. B..
Emo, Schultz Commission Company, e.
M. Taylor, Samuel Verdier, Acme Com
mission Company, F.. c.. Moseley, Miller
Grain and Elevator Company, R. P. Will
Jams Grain Company, Kuiler Bros G..
H. Alberts, ]. Mutually Commission Com
pany, Seaboard Air Line offices, Langen-
berg Bros, Claude, Dean & Co., and
Brinson-Judd Grain Company.
The fire was caused by defective cleo
trio light wires In the. elevator shaft.
h Merchants Exchange building Is
situated on Third street and occupies the
block bounded by Pine and Chestnut
streets. h building was erected about
twenty years ago at a cost of over half
a million dollars and recently improve
ments to the amount of $3.50, 900 have been
made. The trading hall is of the
finest in this country 1t was in this
hall that Samuel J. 5Tilden was nominated
for President in 1876.
President Landenburg of the Exchange
states that business will be suspended
for a few days until the Exchange can
find temporary quarters for business. The
books of, the Clearing House Association
were in the large safes n consequently
the records are intact. The loss is fully
covered by Insurance.

MORE BLAOKGUARDLY WORK.
ssEvening Journaln Conn fnation at
Its Tricks Again.

The agents of the New Journalism
Combination" whose headquarters are in
the Evening Journal office, sent out
another of their lying stories this morn
ing in which they make cowardly state
rnents about an estimable young man and
drag into publicity a young woman on
no provocation whatever, excepting to.
make the story sensational and strictly
in accordance with the principles of new
journalism.
The yarn was that Ernest Thompson, a
clerk in Inness' cigar store on MontgoIn-
cry and Gregory streets, had commenced
suit against Coal Dealer Edward Cam,
of No. 1853 Grand street, for $1,000 dam
ages because Cam accused Thompson of
stealing his masters stamp to SEND a
take off, valentine to him. The story
goes on to connect Miss Mary Eagan Of
Viewers flag store as the cause of jeal-
ousy between the two. On strict inquiry
this morning 1t was found that a diff
ference between the men did exist, but
not what was represented, and as for
Miss Eagan, the story is the cruel and
insulting piece of work of the blackmail-
ing and INSCRIPTIONS Evening Journal
Combination.
