form the duties devolvsd upon them i'm
partially, and the responsibilities that
rested upon them looking to the enforce
ment OF the criminal laws. Ono OF the
most pertinent as well as original fea-
lures of his charge was that the grand
iury was not q collecting agency to en-
force the collection of debts at the in
stance of persons who might hold claims
against unfortunate persons and who. at
ter bills were returned. might get an adj

and the railroad pass evil provided
against by the new Constitution. He Their
read to the grand Jury his special charge
provided for by Section 1881 Of the new
Constitution. on the enforcement OF tho
election laws.
Among other things in connection with
the election laws. this special charge con-
tanned the following:
THE failure to punish any violation OF
raw encourages general lawlessness. The
issue cannot be lodged or the proposition
denied. that the methods resorted to by
our people in the past. have been but the
sowing Of seed that have produced plants
of a most dangerous and demoralizine
character, and which have wrecked the
morals of many OF our young men, as
we'll as poisoned the social and political
atmosphere of our entire section. Many
men have concluded that IL they could
violate the election law. and not only go
unpunished. but be commended for their
lawless act. that they were at liberty
to violate other laws. Many have been
Impressed with the idea tina. IL a negro
had no right to vote, and no one would
frage. ne had no right to be protected In
the enjoyment of his life, liberty and
property"
Judge Anderson showed that under the
new Constitution there was no further
excuse for violations OF the election laws.
He dweit at length on lawlessness gener-
aIiv. and the evils Of lynchings particu-
larry.
There Is light docket for this term
of the court. and It Is evident that all Of
the time allowed by law for holding the
court will not he occupied.

CORNER IN EGGS.
Report That Beef Trust'' is Trying to
 Control Food Supply.

New York, April 19.-The statement was made here yesterday that Swift 6 Go, not satisfied with enormous profits in beef, have determined to corner the market in eggs. This con- cern, it is said, has secretly placed 100000 cases of eggs in cold storage in Jersey City to dole out to the dealers or hold as suits their convience in manipulating the market.
 The beef trust'' is believed to con trol in addition to the meat supply, at least three-fourth of the egg and poul- try products of the United States. With people turning by hundreds of thousands from beef to lamb and pork, and from these in turn to eggs when the latter should naturally be cheap, the marketmen say the time is oppor- tune for just such a colossal corner as they believe the trust to have de- termined upon.
 Butter has reached the highest price for the year in this city, the fresh table article having advanced to B cents a pound wholesale, or within cents q pound of the record price of the spring of 1893.

 Bridgeport, April 19.--Mayor Denis Mulvihill to-day brought suit for $lO,- GOO against the Bridgeport Standard. The suit is for libel.
