NO INTERSTATE INDICTMENTS.
Federal Grand Jury Finds no Bills
Against RailrOaders.

The federal grand jury was discharged yes
terday afternoon without returning any in
dictments against the Twin City railroad men.
After spending two days in the examination
of various men, representatives of nearly all
the roads running into Minneapolis and vart-
Gus shipping clerks Of milling concerns, the
United States attorney sees fit to have the
Jury discharged and his labors and those of
Special Agent T. ]. Marchand have apparently
gone to nought
Those who are well informed about the
matter. however, deny that this is the end
of the matter. One person intimated that
there was something more to come in the
future 1t will not come during the present
session of the court. as the grand jury has
been given their discharge. However Mr..
Marchand or some other agents not quite SO
well known will remain upon the ground
and endeavor to ferret out the cue which
was given them.
The railroad men are, however, happy.
While not divulging what transpired behind
the doors of the jury room, they all admit
that no damaging evidence was learned by
the Jury. They believe that the efforts of the
commission to discover a bad state of af-
fairs in the Northwest will not result in the
desired end. They believe that the investi-
cations are the spite work of other cities and
that nothing more will ever come of it.
Mr. Marchand is not willing to talk about
the matter and has nothing to say in re-
gard to his failure to discover enough evil
dence to indict any one. When asked if he
thought it would give a good result to inter
state business in the Northwest he only
smiled and said that he had nothing to say.

ployer proposed marriage to her.

rent of Miss McQuaid's life. He is the chief
stakeholder and manager of the Cleveland
Electric Enlarging company. Miss ,McQuaid
was his typewriter Mr.. Denemark being
unmarried and willing to change his condi-
ton in that respect, discovered not only that
his typewriter was pretty, but that she
modest and intelligent well, and that
there was every reason to believe that she
would make him an excellent wife. He ac-
cordingiy asked her to marry hin.t
To Miss McQuaid the proposition seemed
to come as something awful and astounding.
She was shocked beyond measure. She re-
fused instantly and peremptorily and then
she threw up her position and left him.
Mr.. Denemark after a few weeks managed
to induce her to come. back she supposing
that the managers madness was dead for
But 1t was only slumbering. Denemark
again confessed his love and begged the girl
to marry him. Miss McQuaid this time
seemed genuinely Mortified. She again re-
fused him and again left his service. The
matter seemed to rankle strangely in her
heart For number of days she seemed
restless and disturbed. She had always been
of a religious turn of mind and in her per-
turbed condition her thoughts in that
direction. Without a word of warning she
announced that she was going to be nun,
and went out to the Ursuline convent.

Cases of Yellow Jack at Perkinston

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-During the after
noon and evening Surgeon General Wyman
has receive ed several kilograms from Nissis-
sippi points bear -ng on the yellow fever situa-
ton. SErs con Carter telagrapled from Gulf
port, Miss, concerning the case at Perkins
ton. 1t was contracted at DC ean Springs.
The is isolated and under al necessary
guard. No other case in that town.
DR.. Guteras also sent dispatch confirm
ing the report of yellow fever at Scraut on
but stating that there was but case there
the origin of which is not clear. There is
much excitement at Scranton. Later Dr.
Guiterass supplemented this dispatch with an
other, in which he reported that the case
supposed to be in Scranton was within the
city limits of Pascagoula. The towns are
very near to each other.
In view of the possibility of the bureau
needing all the surgeons now in the service
Dr.. Wyman has revoked all leaves of absence.
The full force will thus be available if re-
quired. Surgeon H. w. Austin has been or
dered to report here from Chelsea Mass,
and Surgeon Sawtelle, who has been at Au-
gusta, Me-, arrived today. This does not
mean that these and other officials will be

AMERICANS IN CONTROL.
Honduras Handed Over Bodily to a
Syndicate.

Syndicate.
!. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The World
prints the following: 1.-The control of
the government of Honduras by Ameri-
cans" are the words of the American
consul of Honduras used in his report
to the state department, concerning the
effect of the concessions recently made
by the government of Honduras to an
organization of wealthy New Workers.
This consideration was the cause Of adj
vancing of several million of dollars
whether $5,000,00O or $15,000000 cannot
be ascertained-to the Honduras gov
eminent, whereby it may keep above
bankruptcy. On the board of directors
of the concern are the names of John
Jacob Astor, DR.. Seward Webb, Chaun-
cey M. Depew, ]. J. Mccullough, Fred
erick B. Jennings, Charles McVey and
Melville f. ingalls, Jr. The organizer
is Henry L. Sprague, lawyer OF this
city. When Mr.. Sprague made his visit
to Honduras he succeeded beyond his
fondest hopes. The government was
willing to grant him everything he
wanted if the men of millions, whom
he represented, would only assume Ger
tain financial obligations that would
save the republic from ruin.
The nature of the deal has been kept
very much secret so far. but it is
known that the plan includes not only
the completion and control Of the Hon
duras railway, the management OF It's
telegraph system, and the dictation or
tariff duties, at the custom house, but
also the establishment Of a national
bank to carry out fiscal policy for
paying off the Honduras debt. The
government promises not to interfere
for five years at least. 1t is also on the
cards to establish a steamship line
from Truxillo. on the Atlantic coast of
Honduras, to Belise in Bolivia. A plan
is afoot also, it is said, to instigate
emigration from here to Honduras for
men who can stand the climate, which
is very trying to those accustomed
only to temperate zones.

EXPERT TESTIMONY.
The Day Devoted to 1t in the Luet-

CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-There was con-

given by the alleged murderer to his
former sweetheart Mrs. Feldt, on the
evening of his arrest, consisted of
blood and particles of muscle tissue.
One fact the state continuously at

particles of bone, flesh and organic

resemblance to the flesh and bone of
any other warm-blooded animal who

Prof. Walter S. Haines, professor of

CITY HALL LIGHTING.
Contract Question Taken Up and
Put Over Again.

Put Over Again.
The joint court house and city hall
commission held an adjourned meeting
at o'clock yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of passing upon the con-
tract for heating and lighting the
court house building, which was re-
Gently awarded to the ST Paul Gas
Light company The meeting was held
at the instance of Mr.. Dix, who had all
along opposed the letting of the con-
tract to the ST. Paul Gas Light COM
pany, as he favored the bid of James
McGeary.
Yesterdays meeting amounted to
nothing. The joint commission had
placed itself in a laughable position.
It had passed a resolution authorizing
it's chairman to execute contract
with the gas light company for heat
ing and lighting the court house build
ing for three years, beginning Jan l.
1898, and had then questioned the right
of the chairman to execute the con-
tract In this predicament the COM
mission asked the county attorney and
corporation attorney to render their
opinions as to the legality of the pro-
ceedings. These opinions were re-
ceived yesterday, Corporation Attor
ney Markham writing his opinion an0
County Attorney Anderson concurring
Herewith.
Mr.. Markham thought that the ac-
ton of the commission would hold,
though he did not approve of the prac-
tice He called attention to the omis-
sion of the joint commission to require
the contractor to give a contractor s
bond The advertisement for bids re-
quired a bidders bond, but no men
ton was made of any bond to be given
by the successful bidder conditioned
for the faithful performance of the
contract. But, as to the power of the
chairman of the joint commission to
execute the contract, the corporation
attorney entertained no doubt.
Upon motion of Mr.. Moritz the whole
matter was laid over until the next
regular meeting, on Oct. l, and the
commission thereupon adjourned until
that date.
