TROUBLES FOR DEPUTIES.
Family Didn't Want Lunatie Jones
Arrested After All.

Charles Jones, a white man, 81 years
old. was arrested yesterday afternoon
on a warrant charging him with lun-
acy. The arrest was made by Deputy
Sheriffs Fennell and McCaffery, after
a somewhat spirited experience with
the members of Jones family.
1t is not the first time that such an
experience has been had. A few
months ago a lunacy warrant wos
sworn out by the mans mother. but
she relented or repented when the Of
ficers came to serve the writ, and they
abandoned the attempt. Subsequent
ly the warrant was withdrawn.
The second warrant was issued on
an affidavit of Jones' insanity made
by Miss Persis Jones, his sister. Pre-
sumably this step was taken with the
approval of the mans mother, but
when Fennell and McCaffery went to
the house, at No. $50 Broughton street,
east, they had the Same old trouble.
They determined to stick it out, how
ever, and they landed their man.
When they knocked at the front
front door Mrs. Jones took a hurried
look through the shutters of win
dow, and then, instead of opening the
door, chased around to the front, bolt
ed and locked it.
This little step didn't queer the Of
ficers. They went around to the back
and were making their way in through
a window when Mrs. Jones announced
they would be permitted to enter
through the usual entrance. This in
vitation was accepted the deputies
getting inside just in time to see Jones
disappearing upstairs. When they got
up after him they found that the door
Of his had haan 1Onlyod oil py
this time they had become rather
weary and when Jones' curiosity over
came him to such an extent that he
showed his head through the crack he
consented to make, McCoffery placed
his foot in the opening, Fennell pushed
open the door and Jones was hauled
out.
He went his way to the Jail rather
quietly, so far as physical resistance
was concerned, but with vocal objec-
tions to his treatment that attracted
a mob of fifty or a hundred neighbor-
ing small lboys and kept them con-
stantly in train to the Jail gate.
AS the procession started Mrs. Jones
stood in front of her house and waved
her departing son farewell
We'll, Charley" she said, you're in
the hands of those dirty constables,"
remark that did much to soothe the
previously ruffied feelings of Deputies
Fennell and McCaffery.
Jones was given a cell in the iaiI.
which he will occupy until an exam
ination can be held and the man ju-
dicially determined insane. His mania
does not often take a violent form,
consisting for the most part in a vio-
lent aversion to exertion of any kind.
in which regard he does not differ
perhaps from some of his saner breth-
rem, and habit of addressing street.
corner gatherings on religious topics.

AFTER BEEF TRUST
BUT GRAND JURY STILL KEEPS A
LONG WAYS BEHIND.
EVIDENCE HARD TO FIND.
RETAIL BUTCHERS KNOW LITTLE
OF THE TRUSTS OPERATION.

Half a Dozen of the Leaders of the
Trade in the City Questioned by
| Grand Jury as to the Trusts Guilt
of Fore staIIing and EngrOssing.
other Than That Prices Are Main
tanned Mt the Same Point by All
the Packing Houses the Butchers
Could Tell Lfttle-Certain Enough
in Their own Minds, They Find IL
Hard TO Give ReasOns-Grand Jury
Up Against II.
The grand jury of the Superior
Court, in it's effort to secure evidence
upon which to base indictments for
"forestalling and engrossing" against
Savannah representatives of the beef
trust, examined a number of witnesses
at it's session of yesterday afternoon
No indictments were returned.
The witnesses the grand jury exam
had been selected from the number of
the best known retail butchers in the
city. They included Hugh Logan, j.
j. Joyce, Frank Dieter, John F. May.
Conrad Winkler, Henry Hirsch. John
Funk and F. E. Rocker, all of whom
spent some time in the jury room.
They could give little evidence, how
ever, of the character the grand jury
wanted. The old common law offense
which Judge Barrow has suggested
covers the actions of the beef trust
means, in modern parlance, cornering
were able to give little direct evidence,
based on their own knowledge, on this
subject.
Prices All the Same.
They know, of course, that in all the
packing houses of Savannah the price
of meats is always the same at the
same time-that no one of them ever
makes an effort to undersell another or,
in ordinary cases, offers to cut the
price. When a retailer wants to buy
meat he can get it from one packing
house just as cheap as he can at any
other, but not for a cent less.
All the houses offer the same scale
and when the price of meats goes up
or down the movement is general along
Packing House row.
These facts the butchers know and
teStlned TO, ana they know in addition
there are times when a singular search
ty prevails among the local packing
houses. Sometimes day or two will
elapse before a carload of beef reaches
the city, but while the butchers may
have ideas of their own as to what
causes this meat famine, they have
and can have no means of exact knowl-
edge.
Difficulties for Jurors.
These are the difficulties that face
the grand jury in it's investigation. No
doubt is entertained anywhere that the
big packing houses are in combina-
ton, and that the price of meats Is
advanced or reduced-for the most
part advanced, as suits the will or
whim of the magnates, but it is diff
cult to find proof in Savannah with
which to substantiate this belief.
Its a pretty hard proposition and
I'm afraid it's going to be too much
for u.s. said one of the grand jurors
as he left the court room yesterday
The grand jury will have another try
at the matter on next Friday when
its next session will be held, and 1t is
hoped some more positive evidence will
be developed. The consideration of the
beef trusts iniquities was all that oc-
cupied the attention of the jury on
yesterday, and no indictments of any
kind were returned.

ed as game fish, were kept.
A dip net was operated on the east
side of the river by Col. Page, who
met with good success and secured
large numbers of the suckers and carr.
His success in that line, howevr, could
hardly atone for the unpleasant sem
sation the colonel experienced when
he had to throw back a nice game fish
after bringing it safely to land. One
big black bass, weighing about five
pounds, he parted from with evident
reluctance, and there are those who
declare that the colonel had tears in
his eyes when he heaved the beauty
back into the surging waters.
Ed Chapman operated seine on the
west side of the river, bringing 1t to
shore a little below the new mill. He
also had to throw back into the liver
some fine game fish, but had about 200
pounds ofsethe less desirable kinds of
fish as the result of his haul.
1t is declared that suckers and carp
prey very largely on the spawn of the
more valuable fish, and it is for this
reason that the fishing law has been
amended so as to permit seining un-
der certain conditions. Those who
wish to seine for them are required to
procure license from the state game
warden and the work must be done in
the presence Of a deputy game ward

THE RECIPROCITY ISSUE.
Presidents Message Much Commented
on in Congress.

Presidents Message Much Commented
on in Congress.
Washington, June 14.-The presi-
cents reciprocity message gave the
senators a lively topic of conversation
last night and today, but so far as is
yet apparent there is no change in the
situation. There was disposition on
the part of the leaders on both sides of
the controversy to claim, when speak
ing publicly, some advantage from the
message.
The straight reciprocity men urged
that the effect would be to cause at
least some of the beet sugar republic
cans to abandon their opposition. They
contended that many of them had mis-
understood the attitude Of the presi-
dent, and now that this had been made
clear, there could be no longer excuse
for opposition to straight reciprocity
measures. The message, they argued.
would clear the atmosphere render the
presidents attitude unmistakable and
therefore bring opponents within the
party face to face with the fact that
in continuing their opposition they are
antagnozing the official head of the
party. 1--WE have known all the time
where the president stood on this sub
ject, and we have told the republican
opponents of reciprocity just what the
facts are" said a leading reciprocity
senator "They refused to accept our
assurances and professed to have ex-
pressions from the president to the con-
.rary The message confirms all that
we have said to them. 1t clears the
atmosphere, and necessarily the result
must be beneficial to reciprocity"
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them
and that all those who had stood with
them Yesterday are still with them.
They also asserted that the presidents
interposition in the matter had had the
effect of causing to hesitate some of
the senators who heretofore had not
taken a positive stand against reduc-
ton because of the feeling that the
president should leave congress to deal
with the subject in its present stage
Senator DIETRICH was among the most
outspoken of the beet sugar men and
he made an unsuccessful effort to Sc
cure the attention of the chair after
the reading of the message. Those VINO
are in his confidence say that 1T was his
purpose to move for the discharge of
the committee from the further consid-
Grafton of the house bill in order to
permit the immediate consideration of
that measure.
There is still more or less canVassing
of the wisdom of holding republican
caucus and it is probable that ulti-
mately one will be held, but no date is
now mentioned.
