DEALT AN INSIDIOUS BLOW.
Judge speer's Remarks on Ignoring
Indie tments.

Augusta, May A.-In his charge to the
United States grand jury to-day Judge
Emory Speer said, referring, evidently
to the recent refusal of the United States
Court to honor the Indictment of the
grand jury at Savannah in the Greene
Gaynor cases:
For nine centuries the indictments of
grand juries have been respected and up
held in English common law. 1t remained
for the present day to degrade and de-
preciate these indictments. No more in
sidious blow has ever been aimed at the
execution of the national laws. The new
doctrine which requires the solemn find
lngs of a grand jury based on sworn evil
dence to be submitted to the review of a
local ma gistrate is abhorrent TO civil law"
This theory. Judge Speer said, was
monstrous. He maintained that it impaired
the efficiency of the courts established by
the President of the United States 1t was
notification in a new and dangerous form.

Wife of Count Festetics Brings Suit
in san Francisco.

From the New York Times
San Francisco, May 17.-Papers were
hied here to-day in the divorce suit of
Ella, Countess Festetics de Tolna against
Rodolphe, Count Festetics. on the ground
OF desertion. The 'piaintiff is Ella Hag-
gin, daughter of Louis T. Haggin of New
York, and granddaughter of James 49,
Haggin, the California mining Million
aire and horse breeder, who now lives IN
Kentucky. She first met Count Festetics,
an Austrian nobleman at her fathers
house in this city. The marriage took
place IN New York Feb. "a 1892 In Oc-
tober, 1893, the couple set sail from San
Francisco and cruised for several years
among South Sea Islands on the yacht
Holna, which was built by the Count aft
er his own designs.
In her complaint the Countess declares
that this Yacht, which was dependent
wholly upon sails, not fit for living
purposes. She gives details CO various
places visited and cites the narrow es-
cape OF all on board during a typhoon in
Japanese waters in May, 1895. She declares
that in all their wanderings she remained
on the yacht al night with her husband,
and only left him in October, 1897, when
news was received of the serious Illness
of her mother in this city. She lived with
her parents until April, 1898. when she
Joined her husband at Hong Kong
Soon after they went to Singapore,
where they remained from November.
1898, until April, 1899. In the latter month
Count Festetics she AYERS, declared his
Intention of proceeding to Colombo, and
the East Coast Of Africa. The Countess,
says she, besought him to abandon the
yacht, as her health had become impair
ed, and she was weary OF hardships and
dangers of the sea. She begged him 10
provide her home on shore which she
declares, would not have been more ex-
pensive than living on the yacht. This
he refused TO do, whereupon she told him
IL would be impossible for her to live any
longer upon the yacht.
on April 20 the Count set sail In his
yacht, leaving the Countess stranded In
Singapore, without means of support and
without even lodgings. She cabled to her
parents and obtained means TO reach home
in New York. Since then, she goes on TO
say, Count Festetics has contributed no
money for her support. She therefore
prays for a decree of divorce and the priv
ilege of resuming her maiden name. No
children resulted from the. marriage.

SNAKE AND FROG FARM.
Singular Business an Enterprising
Indinninn Has Started.
From the Indianapolis New

From the Indianapolis News.
AL Sphungs snake, turtle and frog farm,
in Starke county, is supplying means OF
livelihood for a good many people In that
neighborhood. He claims to have 100000
frog of all sizes and ages, while turtles and
water snakes by the hundreds revel in the
pond on his land. He buys frogs and tur-
ties from every source of supply, and he
has agents in adjoining counties who are
capturing snakes and turtles. Those that
are not sent at once TO market are tossed
into the pond. The frog hams are sent 10
city markets, East and West, and many
frogs, turtles and snakes are sent to col
leges for dissectng purposes. Every sat
urday wagons line up at the Sphung farm
and unload sacks containg leaping ard
crawling prisoners. In one hour last Sat
urady $50 was paid out to the catchers.
The price runs from / TO 20 cents per
dozen, according to the size of the frogs.
A good load has brought as high as $26.
Employees of the establishment are kept
busy night and day receiving frogs and
shipping them out, dressed and alive. In
dressing, the frogs are clipped In two with
shears and the hind legs or hams are
skinned, an expert turning out the hams
with rapidity. Two or three def turns
suffice TO separate the headquarters from
big green fellow, whose forequartsrs are
thrown aside. AS the live frogs come in
they are placed in barrels, and they will
keep in this manner for several days. A
little water is placed in the barrels, and
although the receptacles are packed tight
with a squirming mass none suffocates

find a ready sale at high prices. On Sat-
