ARE SEEKING TO GAIN TIME.
CHARGE MADE AGAINST ALLEGED
CONSPIRATORS.

Government Attorneys Opposed Eff
fort of Mr. Rose to Secure Delay in
Greene and Gaynor Case-Mr.
Roses Motion to Discharge the De-
PENDANTS OverruIed by Commis-
sioner ShieIds-Exnm Ad-
jOurned to Jan. 10.
New Yor, Jan. 4-The examination on
the removal proceedings in the case Of
Banjamin D. Greene and the three Messrs
Gaynor indicted in Savannah for frauds
in connection with the Savannah harbor
and Cumberland sound improvements
formerly in charge Of Capt. Oberln M
Carter, was continued to-day before
United States Commissioner Shields.
Abram ]. Rose Of counsel for the accus-
ed contractors, first accepted the amended
complaint and then moved for the dis
charge of the accused. He conceded that
his clients were the persons charged in the
Savannah indictment but he contended
that the paper did not prove PROBABLE
cause, which was the only other issue that
could here be raised in behalf of the pris-
oners
He also argued that an indictment under
The existing statutes could not be censid-
cred a court proceeding. He further said
that Capt. Gillette, who testified yes err
day, had not and could not testify to the
Illegal acts alleged to have been commit
ted by the contractors prior to July q,
1897, when he took charge of the savau-
nah district.
Indictment Is Sufficient.
United States District Attorney Burnett
said that the indictment was equivalent
to the dispositions of the grand Jurors and
was sufficient evidence at an examination
before a United States commissioner, and
the question as to whether or not proba-
BILE cause had been established could alone
be decided by him.
Commissioner Shields overruled Mr.
Roses motion and said he did not think he
had the right TO certify to the points rails
ed so that Mr.. Rose could present them
10 Judge Brown, of the United States Dis
trict Court and an opinion be obtained Mr.
Rose said that his witnesses at present
were in other states, and he asked for a
two weeks adjournment so as to get his
witnesses and the necessary papers before
the commissioners
The assistant district attorney said that
Mr.. Rose was simply fighting for time, so
that as far as the charge of conspiracy is
concerned it will be outlawed by The stat
ue of mitations.
United States District Attorney Marion
Erwin of Savannah also opposed further
delay, because Mr.. Ic.se had not suggested
the line of evidence he proposed to in
troduce in behalf of his clients He fur
ther stated that under the statute of linn
itations the conspiracy charge would ex-
pire by July Of this year.
Commissioner Shields said that the de-
fense was entitled to adjournment and by
agreement of all the counsel interested the
examination was continued until Jan. 16
Meantime the arguments on the appeal
of former capt. Garter win have been made
by Mr.. Rose and Mr. Burnett in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals in

The Ethics of a Rummage Sale.

ceive. Here is found the channel to
which the housekeeper may consign
things too good to be thrown away
and yet not worth their keeping,
for everything, from silk hat to
pair OF ball slippers are found on sale
at one of these "rummages, and,
what is more, they find buyers. But
they really do simplify the seminar
nual observance OF house cleaning to
a wonderful extent. If, perchance,
"rummage" rage leads women to
give up now and then old family ar
ticles for which they afterwards
yearn, or for which other members
of their household make loud and
justi6able demands, they are too
good losers to let it be known. All
the same, a visitor to one of these
"rummage sales" cannot bel p won,
dering if more than one member of
the household knew that all these ar
ticles were looted from the house
and put on sale. But it's no bust

himself with such thoughts. OILY

The Vermont Census.

Reading the list of towns in Yer.
mont as set forth in the census, one
wonders what they call hamlet up
in that state. The cities of Vermont
are not large, the biggest OF them,
Burlington, having only 1860 in
habitants, but some of the towns are
so small that we question if any
state can show smaller. Thus Glas-
tonbury has only 48 inhabitants,
and Baltimore So. There are two
other towns, Somerset and st.
George, that have less than 100 in.
habitants. Judging from compari-
sons afforded by censuses, some of
these towns are fast passing away

bury had 181 inhabitants in 1890.
