THE vICKSBURG CITIZEN.
Geologist BlatchIey i'm Doubt About
Genuineness of N Copy.

]. w. Arnold. of Gas City, presented to
State G%eologist Blatchley yesterday, for
the State Museum, what purports to be an
original copy of the Vicksburg Daily Citi-
zen of July ?, 1863, printed on wall paper.
Inasmuch as these old war relics are being
largely duplicated nowadays. Professor
Blatchley is in doubt as TO the genuineness
OF the paper. The date of the issue in
question was two days prior TO the sur
render OF Vicksburg TO General Grant and
his army. A note at the bottom of the
paper reads: 1.-Two days bring about great
changes. The banner of the Union now
floats over Vicksburg. General Grant has
caught the rabbit He has 'dined in
N~icksburg,' and he did bring his dinner
with him The Citizen lives TO see IL. For
the last time IL (the Citizen) appears on
wall paper. No more will il eulogize the
luxury Of mule meat and fricaseed kitten.

and is, excepting this note, from the types
as we found them" G.. b. Thompson. a vet
eran OF the civil war, said last night that
the note in question was added by MEM
bers OF Grant's party after the city was
entered. Mr.. Thompson said large num-
bers OF copies OF the paper are being print
ed and sold at the present time.

UP BY GRAND JURY
FIRST DAYS PROBING OF THE "IN-
SANITY COMMISSION TRUST"
Dispensary Physicians still Look Upon
the Matter as n Joke-Prose-
cutor's Careful Watch.

The Marion county grand jury yesterday
began its Investigation of the insanity
commission trust and about twenty wit
nesses were examined. Among the witness
es were the Dispensary physicians. DR..
Benham, superintendent Of the Dispensary,
the attaches of the county jail, Mr..
and Mrs. William b. De Poy, John
Ross and Lille Parks. Mrs. Cronnon, mat
ron at the Dispensary, who has made many
affidavits in insanity commissions, was also
before the grand jury. John Ross and VII
liam b. De Poy were both given their free
dom by Judge Leathers. of the Superior
Court, in habeas corpus proceedings and
Lille Parks was released without litiga-
ton upon the demand of Attorney General
Taylor. These witnesses told how they
had been ''railroaded' through by an in
sanity commission and at no time during
the day nor before the grand jury did any
of them exhibit signs of insanity.
A new feature was added TO the Ross
story, as all of the details Of his commit
ment were not admissible in the habeas
corpus hearing before Judge feathers.
Ross said that after it was rumored that
proceedings would be filed to obtain his re-
lease DR.. Hicks and another man made
NCAJ neatly a AObSC-NOAONSO
his neighborhood to ascertain if any one
had ever heard tina he was troubled with
epilepsy. He said the men tried to get the
mother of his affianced wife TO say that her
daughter had stated that he had attacks OF
epilepsy, but she refused. The commission,
nor none of its members, took this trouble
10 investigate before the inquest was held,
Ross said.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus says the investi-
cation is now only begun and that all OF
the workings of the alleged trust Will be
probed to the bottom. Both prosecutor
Ruckelshaus and his deputy, Charles Bene-
dict, listen TO the testimony of the wit
nesses before the grand jury and are max
ing every preparation TO carry the states
side of the cases, should indictments be re-
turned. The Dispensary physicians are still
inclined to regard the investigation as little
more than a joke and while they were wait
ing in the ante-room to be called before
the grand jury yesterday, there was much
merriment.
Deputy County Clerk George Fate, who
takes care of all the insanity proceedings,
is now like a man without a job, as the in
sanity business has been completely ami
hilated by the Investigations that are on
and the Indignation of the public over the
abuses practiced by insanity commissions
1t has been two weeks since a commission
was held, and this is a record-breaker. The
records show that there has been on an
average about one insanity commission held
each day for many months, and it was
seldom that three days elapsed without an
inquest being held on somebody.

Reser's opponent this year Yves Senator
Ogborn. of New Castle.
The board heard no protest against as
sessments yesterday. the morning and aft
ernoon sessions being occupied by discuss
ing methods of taxation. A number Of
transportation companies. of which about
seventy-five operate in this State, have
sent in under protest their statements re-
quired by the law passed by the last Leg
i~slature. Companies that protested in this
manner are the St. Charles Refrigerator
Dispatch. the Libby. Mcneil & Libby
Company and the National Cooperage and
Woodenware Company. of Peoria. III. Some
Of these companies Insist that they are
operating cars simply TO insure dispatch

vided by the new law, are the Arms Palace

Some of the companies insist that the tax
board has no right to assess them i'm the
same manner as regular transportation
companies are assessed. while others object
to the method of making reports set out in
the new law. Secretary Frank Martin says
that since the law is new and as yet un-
tried complaints are TO be expected, but he
thinks all protests will be adjusted salts
factorily In a short time.

NEWS FROM CAPT. TUTTLE
COMMANDER HAS PLACED FIFTEEN
DRIFT CASKS on ICE FLOEs.
Admiral Melville Is Pleased with the
Work of the Expedition and Rec
Ommends a Medal of Honor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-News has been
received by Admiral Melville that Captain
Francis TuttIe, the commanding officer Of
the revenue cutter Bear, placed fifteen Of
the Melville Bryant drift casks on several
of the largest ice foes to the northward
and westward of Point Barrow.
The first landing was effected Aug. 10, in
latitude 72:10 north and longitude 166 west
Five casks were placed on this foe. As
the southerly winds had driven the loose
ice against the main pack, the placing Of
the casks on the main foe was hazardous
undertaking.
Captain Tuttle then steamed along the
edge of the pack in a northward and west
ward direction. and, reaching a solid foe
in latitude 1905 north, longitude 17l :33 west
placed four casks on that foe, and later
placed five more casks on a foe i'm latitude
72:1S north and longitude 1910 west
About this point the ice trended to the
southwark and eastward, making it ex-
tremely hazardous for Captain Tuttle to
continue his work.
Through necessity Captain Shoemaker
chief of the revenue marine service was
compelled this year to delay the departure
of the Bear on her arctic cruise until a
month after her regular starting time
Captain Tuttle. therefore. in his opinion
has done remarkably well i'm landing the
rate foes.
Admiral Melville is exceedingly pleased
with the character Of the work performed
by the Bear and regards the work Of Cap
of the Treasury Department, if not of Con-
gress.
