THE GRAND JURY
 AND ITS REPORT Three Hundred and Fifty-one
 True Bills. CAPITAL 0FFENSES ARE Y Fifteen Hundred Witnesses Examined Many Disregard Obligation of Oaths-Great Violation ofthe
 Revenue Laws-Jail
CAPITAL OFFENSES ARE Y

The Jefferson County Criminal Court grand jury reported as follows yesterday and adjourned:
 Report of grand jury, September term, 1900:
 ''To the Hon. Samuel D. Greene, Judge of the Criminal Court of Jefferson County: We, the grand jury of said county, im- paneled for the September term, 1900, of the Criminal Court of Jefferson County, having now been in continuous session for five weeks, since September b. 1900, re- spectfully submit unto your honor the fol- lowing report:
 We have carefully followed the instruc- tions given us in the charge of the court, in so far as was in our power to do so We have examined about 15OO witnesses; had under consideration 4S7 cases, and as the result of the laborious performance Of our duty we are gratilied to report that we have entirely cleared the docket, thing which we are informed is quite un- usual. There were S51 true bills returned. of which r were for capital felonies and 1S1 non-capital feonies, and 1856 misdemean- ors.
 Entire harmony has characterized our daily sessions and the true bills returned have been the result of the unanimous verdicts of this jury in every case, with but one single exception.
 "The greater portion of our time was consumed in the investigation of the yio- lations of the revenue law, and the offenses of gambling and larceny.
 Violations os Revenue Law
 ''We regret to find that there is in the county, especially in the suburbs of the city of Birmingham, notably in the towns of Ensley, Bossburg, Cardiff, Wylam, Adams vile, East Lake and Pratt City, fragrant violation and open defiance of the revenue law, materially retarding and interfering with the prosecution of legitimate business, and greatly degrading and corrupting the morals of the county.
 I'm Ens,ey offenders seek to evade the law by the open and notorious sale of hop jack, an intoxicating beverage, similar to beer, but masquerading under a false narne, and by the operation of social clubs, which we find to be but another name and disguise for a gambling den and beer saloon.
 At BlosSburg, we find an equally open and pernicious practice in vogue, where the use of tickets is the attempted cloak for an unblushing evasion of the law. This prac- tice is especially poplar at picnics and par becues Money is passed for the sole con sideration of d check or ticket, Whlch en- titles the holder to no advantage whatever save at another place on the grounds it is redeemable in beer.
 .'rhe violators of the law frankly admit that they sell hop jack" and dispose or beer for tickets, but they deny that mop jack is intoxicating, and confidently boast that they receive no compensation for their beer We earnestly trust that convictions will follow in order that these offenders may be punished for their defiance or the law and that others may be deterred from a similar subterfuge.
 Much Larceny
 Much of our time was occupied with tht consideration of the offense of larceny.

RAILROAD "REMINISCENCES.
Brief Story of the B%urlington's Strides.
Now Gives Transcontinental Service.

~ ANAS
Now Gives Trsnscontinental Service.
Away back in the seventies, when
Omaha was little more than a frontier
village, the Burlington Railroad built
a branch line from Lincoln to York,
Neb., a distance of fifty-two miles.
A year or two later this line was
extended to Grand Island, Neb., forty
miles further. In 1886 a few more
miles were built.
Construction continued during 1887,
1888 and 1889, and in November of the
latter year the new line had reached a
point in southeastern Wyoming 4O1
miles northwest of Grand Island, and
nearly 500 miles from Lincoln. In 1890
1891, 1892, and 1898 more work was
done, and in October of 1894 the rails
were laid as far west as Billings, Mont.
Shortly afterward a traffic agreement
with the. Northern Pacific Railroad was
entered into, and the fifty-two-mile
branch line of the seventies had be-
come a part of a through line to and
from Montana and the Pacific north
west-hundreds of miles shorter and
many hours quicker than any other.
During the six years which have
elapsed since the completion of the
Burlington's Billings line, it has come
to be recognized as THE line from Mon
tana and Puget Sound points, to Omaha,
Kansas City, st. Louis and beyond.
Until recently, however, there was
one drawback to its complete popular
ity-one had to change cars at Billings.
After April 10Th this will nc longer be
necessary for OF that date, the Bur
lington and Northern Pacific Railroads
will establish throh h train service
from Portland to st. Lsuis. The new
trains will leave PortlanM at 11:3O p. m
daily, and will run through to st.
Louis by way of Tacoma, Spokane,
Helena and Billings without changes
or delay of any kind.
In a way, the establishment of this
new through-train service is equivalent
to the completion of another trans
continental line. 1t brings the North
west and Southeast into closer rela-
tionship than aver before. Trade fol-
flows the lines of least resistance, and
this new service will help, as nothing
else of recent years has done, to in
crease the exchange of products of
Montana, Washington, and Oregon for
those of the Mississippi valley.
To maintain regular service over the
2,374 miles separating Portland and st.
Louis, ten trains of eight cars each
will be required. Five of these train 6
will be furnished by the Northern
Pacific Railroad and five by the Bur-
lington Route. Each consists of a
baggage car, a mail car, a standard
sleeping car, a tourist sleeping car, a
dining car, n or nor reclining chair
cars and a combination first and
second class coach. The new trains
are models of comfort and convenience
wide vestibuled from end to end, and
brilliantly lighted with Pintsch gas.
