Excitement Over the Grand Jury In
vestiGatiOn I'm shelby.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Jan. 27.-The work
OF the grand jury is still topic of absorb
ing interest. Though no further arrests
since those OF Commissioners Cherry and
Amos have been made, interest is kept at
height by the number of witnesses exam
ined. 1t Is asserted that the ex-superin-
tendent OF the county asylum. James SPELL
man, yesterday testified before the jury
that during his term of office George Ray
demanded Of him that several fat hogs,
county property. be slaughtered and placed
in Rays cellar. at his disposal, presum-
ably as the price of influence in favor of
Mr. Spellmans continuance in office.
Ray does not deny the truth OF the de-
mand, but claims that $50 and turkey were
offered instead. the turkey accepted. but
the money refused. To-day further COM
plications arise in the fact that Herman
Chueden. wanted yesterday by the Jury
has disappeared. He is the man to whom
was allowed exsrbitant bills for bridge
painting and who forged the name of Nor

Many Small Vessels Driven of Shore
and Some Possibly Unable to
Weather the Storm.
ALL OCEAN LINERS BELATED
NEITHER THE ST. LOUIS NOR THE
ALLER SIGHTED YESTERDAY.
Velocity of Wind Between Seventy
Five and EiGhty-Five Miles an
H0ur-Ships in Distress.

NEW YORK. Jan. Gas result of the
great blow last night there was but one
arrival in quarantine this morning. This
was the British steamer Dean, which is
chartered by the Dutch West Indies line.
Captain Hamilton, the master of the Dean,
says that the wind along the coast ex-
ceeded in velocity anything in his expert
ence on the ocean for twenty years. One
of the officers of the ship was carried
bodily across the bridge from the port to
the starboard side in an unusually heavy
gust at midnight and barely escaped going
overheard. The marine observer at the
Highlands of Navesink picked up half
a dozen square-riggers in the east offing
at sunset last evening. One of the sailors.
a bark. was in tow. Between the Hook
and Long Branch he counted fifteen
schooners at the same time None of these
arrived during the night and the infer
ence is that they were blown off shore by
the fresh northwesterly wind. The wind at
midnight had a velocity of seventy-five
miles an hour at the Hook and between
and o'clock it's speed was measured at
eighty-fve. The fact that the Jersey and
outside Long island beaches were wind
ward gave the life savers less responsible
ity than is ordinarily felt in a high blow.
None of the regular liners was sighted
to-day, although the American liner st.
Louis, froms Southampton, last Saturday,
and the North German Lloyd steamer
Aler, from Bremen, a week ago last
Thursday, were expected TO arrive al an
early hour. The two Glasgow liners. the
State of Nebraska, of the Allan State line,
and the Ethiopia, of the Anchor line, are
making long passages The State of Ne
braska is now seventeen days out from the
Clyde. The Ethiopia left Glasgow the day
after the Nebraska.
1t is reported that the British steamer
Usk, of the United Fruit Company. which
sailed from here this. morning for Glib
rara, was off Deal Beach, n. j.. flying sig
nails, two black balls, indicating that she
was not under control.

Had n Hard Night.

WOODS HOLL, Mass, Jan. N-The
steamer San Marcos, from Boston, for
New York. which anchored off Nobsk In
the northwest gale yesterday, was riding
safely this morning and holding well, al
though she had a hard night. The San
Marcos met the full force of the wind,
which was blowing at a fifty-knot rate
when she passed Nobsk, and, fearing iii
would be too much for her. the captain
put back, seeking shelter under the head
lands. A big sea was on, however, and
the San Marcos caught them as she lay
at anchor, again and. again. being buried.
Later. as the San Marcos did not pro-
coed, inquiry was made and il was learned
that she had sustained some accident to
her machinery and remained at anchor
making repairs. From what could be
learned ii appeared that the trouble was
not serious and could be attended to by
those board.
The cold wave which accompanied the
gale caused ice to form in all the harbors
and If it continues some vessels may be-
come icebound.
