GRAND JURY REPORT.

To the Honorable A. C. Allen. Judge of
the 23rd Judicial District Court of
Louisiana. in and for the Parish of
st. Mary:
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to sub
nit this, our report:
We have examined into all matters of
a criminal nature coming before us, and
haye found bills in all cases in keeping
with the facts as we have been able to
get them from the witnesses. as will be
more fully seen by reference to the bills
presented and filed in this court
We are much gratified to be able to
report that we notice marked improve-
ment sine our last session in the man.
ner in which the public business is con-
Quoted. In most of the departments of
our Parish government, it is shown that
most of the public officers have to a
considerable extent carried out the re-
concentrations of this jury in its last re-
port. We desire especially to compli-
meDt the police jury for the complete
change in the system of handling the
public funds. We are satisfied that if
the present system is strictly adhered to.
it will not bs long before our parish will
be on a cash basis: and with the present
rate OF taxation, they will be able to
either build new court house or give
this one the repairs it is so sadly in need
Of. We are also pleased to report that
We find that our court has dispc sed of all
the misdemeanor cases as fast as they
come up thereby saving to the parish
considerable money in board bills.
In reference to the especial charge of
the court in reference to the public
square, we beg to report that we have
had the officer charged with the enforce~
ment of the police jury ordinance before
US and have his pledge that he will post
notices warning the public not to ride or
drive upon the public square under the
penalty of the law; and that after so
posting the square, he will see that all
violators Of the ordinance are presented
for trial.
We have examined into the cases of
all persons confined in the parish Jail
and found bills in all of these cases ex.
cept Wiley Jones charged with murder;
Nellie Mahoney. charged with larceny
and Jake Hill, insane. Ia the case of
Wiley Jones, we are not able to make a
finding for the reason that the coroner
of the Parish of Orleans has not as vet
made his report to this court showing
the death of the party shot. In the case
OF. Nellie Mahoney we fiud that she was
arrested in Morgan City and placed in
Jail about a week ago. but we can find
nothing in the shape of an Indictment,
information or commitment on file in any
OF the Offices in this parish in her case.
and we recommend that the court order
her discharged. In the case of Jake Hill.
we find that there is no room in the in.
sane asylum at present for him, therefore
he has to be held In our Jail until such
time as he can be sent to the ASYLUM.
Having concluded our labors we beg
to be discharged.

the purpose of raising fund for
the commencement of work. This
list contained nearly $4,000 sub
scribed. He thought that commit
tee of three or four should be APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions
throughout the parish. This sug-
gestion met with the approval of
everyone, but it was referred to the
Board of Directors for action. After
discussing the situation generally
and making some minor recommen-
dations to the board, the meeting
adjourned sine die.
Mr.. Jones will remain in town for
the balance of the week. Whilst he
has not been given the contract as
yet, it is agreed by the directors that
he will be the man in charge of the
boring operations. The contract
will be drawn up and signed as soon
as the amount required to finish the
well shall have been subscribed,
which it is expected will be very
shortly.
MIR. Jones was seen yesterday By
representative of this paper, and
in answer to question as to wheth-
er he thought oil would be found at
Clarendon, he replied as follows:

very fine. l don't see any reason
why this we'll should not he devel-

were in the Jennings field when they

THE WEATHER IDEAL
For Strawberries and Growers
Say There Will Be a Full
Crop - Butter
Prices.

There are some variations : in the
prices asked for vegetables in the Can
ton markets. Hardly two dealers are
alike when it comes to pricing onions,
lettuce, rhubarb, asparagus, etc. All
are ihclined to go cheaper, and as the
size of the lunches vary with the
grower, it is hard to give any quota
tons that would be reliable.
Fair strawberries are selling at 15
cents quart. They are southern ber-
ries. Marietta stock is soon expected
in the market, when the quality will
he better. 1t will be some time before
tue home grown ones will be on sale.
In spite of the stories that the frost
had done injury, growers insist that
there will be full crop. The recent
weather has been good for the berries
aud they are developing rapidly.
Quotations for butter maintain a
vide range. and the figures are changed
to suit what the various dealers are
asking for good country product. The
variation is from 16 to % cents n
pound.

$2,5OO, 900.

Washington, May 26.-The senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds has voted to recommend the
passage Of bill appropriating $2,500,-
900 for a building for the department
OF agriculture. The structure will be
of classic design and will be built OF
white marble. The site selected for 1t
is beside the location Of the present
building, Which is totally inadequate
for the ndcds for tho new department.
There is little likelihood rhat the bill
will pass at this or even the next ses-
sion of congress because of the enor-
nous and unprecedented outlay for
public buildings which is provided for
in the pending omnibus bill.
