JULIA MORRISON UNDER INDICTMENT Grand Jury Made Its Report
 Yesterday. PRISONER IS DEPRESSED Geo. J. Antz of New Orleans Appears in the Papers as Prosecutor-Some Details Which May Yet be
 Brought Out

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 2S.-Miss Julia Morrison, the actress, was indicted this afternoon by the grand jury in the circuit court for the murder of Frank Ley den, or Ledenheimer, of the MT. Plaster of Paris" company at the opera house in this city Friday evening September 22. The name of George J. Antz of New Orleans, brother-in-law of Leidenheimer, appears in the court papers as prosecutor.
 The papers were presented to the court and the case held for hearing Tuesday, October g. The prisoner was greatly de- pressed by the announcement of the action of the grand jury, but she was later very much cheered by several members of the grand jury who called to see her and stated that while they were compelled under their paths to find an indictment they felt sure that she would be acquitted on the states testimony alone.
 Miss Morrison has taken very little nour- ishment since her incarceration in the county jail and that together with the mental worry and the great suspense pend ing the trial have told upon her greatly and she appaars haggard and careworn. She men of the city and she has wanted for nothing in the way of comfort In conver- sation with an Associated Press reporter she stated that there were details connect ed with the tragedy that had not been brought out and that would not be adduced in evidence unless it became necessary to her acquittal.

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES LARGE
MT. Elliott Makes a Report on Samoan
 Expectations

Washington, September 2S-The British commissioner at Samoa, Mir. Elliott, has received from Apia a full report on the claims made by British subjects for dam ages resulting from the bombardment and the native uprisings. The claims aggre- gate something aoove 1000 pounds sterling Of this amount about 5000 pounds grows out of the depredations of the Mataafa rebels in January and March and some 1000 pounds is for losses resulting from the bombardment of the British and Ameri- can naval forces and the succeeding opera tions on land.
 There are large number of separate claims showing the damage to have been widely distributed. A claim of $40 pounds for the sacking of a residence near Apia and the destruction of a cocoa plantation gives an idea of the wanton destruction characterizing the native uprising.
 The original amount of the claims was doubled that now submitted to the British commissioner, as they were first subjected to rigid scrutiny by British official at Apla.
 Besides the schedule of claims consid- erable amount of general information as to the situation in Samoa was brought in the last official mail. There was no evidence of any disorder, however, and no expressions of fear entertained of another native up- rising.

that this last effort has been broken down since Lord Salisbury cannot go behind Mi Chamberlain without creating cabinet crisis.
 Tt is depiorable nevertheless that state etiquette should be strong enough to ob- struet the path to peace. We suppose it is not true that Mr. Chamberlain intends to demand disarmament, a neavy indemnity and the withdrawal of pr. Leyds which would only result in war;
 The paper suggests that the Orange Free State should appeal for arbitration under the arrangements concluded at The Hague.
 The Odessa correspondent of the Stand ard telegraphs a rumor that Germany re- gently suggested to Russia the advisabihty of mediation between Great Britain and the Transvaal and that Russia declined to have any thing to do with the matter.
 A dispatch to the Daily Mali from Charlest town says: "Commandering is pro ceeding in the Wakkerstrom district and probably throughout the Transvaal. The buxghers are assembled at Walkers trom which is eight miles from the Natal border and eleven from Laingsnek. Twelve hundred have been ordered to Sandspait thirteen miles west of the Natal border where they will meet Orange Free State artillery which has been lying low in this neighborhood for fortnight.

Della Fox, the actress, is said to be
dying at her home in St. Louis. She is
not yet thirty years old, but her death is
approaching, the result of living too fast
life. She had youth, health, beauty and
talents that won her fame, yet she has gone
the way of many others who could not
stand prosperity and were lost in the whirl-
pool of life of license and dissipation.
She was in New England but a short time
since and booked to appear at Keene, Bel

played, but Della took no part. 1t was
said she was .ick and could not and an

from the pen of l.. S Hayes and appeared
in an exchange: "This building was one
of the oil lest business blocks in the square,
having been erected by Simon Pettis near

smith and previously had shop in the low
frame building now attached to the rear.
This frame part stood many years just
where Mammoth block now does. 1t wa.

that time there were no buildings standing
between the old Mansion House (where
the Chase Furniture store now is) and the
old "Morgan Tavern" (now the Frost ten
ement block on Rockingham street. The
whole of the land on the west side OF the
square until that time had been titled as 6
garden in connection with the Mansion
House, which was then the principal hote
of the village. Now the entire distance ii
