GRAND JURY'S WORK.
At the close of the days work, Tues
day. the grand jury had considered SO
cases and as many more await its con-
sideration. One of the Reed cases has
been presented, and it is expected that
the Newton murder case will come be-
fore the jury today or Thursday. Cases
from Worcester will occupy the grand
jury today. The traverse jurors who
were summoned to appear Thursday
morning for the trial of cases, have
! been notified that they will not be want
/ ed until Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
when the actual trials will begin. This
change has been made owing to the
fact that the grand jury will probably
not report before Friday morning.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The county commissioners think that
the working plans for the new court
house will be received from the archi-
tects, Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul, by
the 9th inst, when they will be exam
ined and the preliminaries for adver-
tising for bids for the work of construc-
ticn will be made. The architects are
pushing their work as rapidly as possi-
BILE, and with the plans once ready, the
! commissioners are confident of making
I gratifying progress.
The commissioners were seen Tuesday
in regard to offering a reward for the
capture of Paul Miller. the alleged muir
derer of the Newton family, and they
said that they had not authority in the
matter, and that it was beyond their
legal power t. offer a reward in behalf
Of the county of Worcester. While they
would like to see the reward increased
| they, az body, can take no legal action
to tha. end.
