COUNTY A JURY.
No Special Instruction for the Decem-
Der Session.

The Marion county grand jury for the
December session convened yesterday. No
special instructions were given by Judge
Afford, but he referred to that part of the
statutes setting out the duty of the grand
jury to investigate misconduct in public
offices. The part of the statute referred to
reads: ut is your duty to investigate all
charges of willful and corrupt misconduct
in the office of public officers of every
description in the county and any charges
against them of extortion."
This is taken to mean that the grand
jury should go further into councilmanic
doings than the Higgins case, but as HiS-
gins has changed his mind about going
before the grand jury and telling all ne
says he knows. Prosecutor Ruckelshaus
says he is at a loss for a lead" TO make
further investigation. While tt was not
expected that Higgins could tell a great
deal, yet his testimony might direct the
prosecutor to more definite information.
Several of the councilmen have expressed
o desire for the investigation to be made,
among whom are the men Higgins charges
were implicated in the case under which
he is now convicted.

and I cannot afford to let it go by" Mr..
Gonser will leave for the company's plan
tations about the 10Th of January. Secre-
tary of State Hunt said. yesterday. that

ond deputy in the office, was to be pro-
NOTED to the place of Mr.. Gonser and that
Mr.. Burrells place would be filled by
Stephen Hinshaw. the present s~tenographer
in the Office of Mr.. Hunt. Mr.. Hunt declined
TO either affirm or deny the rumor, but con-
tented himself with saying that all con-
tempiated vacancies had been filled.

terday morning the secretary of state re-
ceived a transcript OF the case of Harri-

ment of custer. holding that. by the terms
of the act OF 1885. no proper election for
