JURY
Grand Jury Guests of States Attor-
ney.

The members of the grand jury
were given a banquet on Thursday
evening by John II. Senter, States
attorney. The dinner was served at
Miller's Inn and was deliciously pre-
pared and well served. O. A. G..
Jackson acted as toastmaster and
called on nearly all the members of
the jury for a story or speech.
Wit, fun and laughter were the mot
toes of the evening and everyone had
the best kind of a time No really set
speeches we're made although B. P.
White, foreman of the jury, traced the
organization and work of the jury in
an interesting manner. The host,
John II. Senter, spoke in his best
vein. But to mention particular ones
as contributing the most to the even
ing's pleasure would be unfair, as each
did his share Of entertaining. The
banquet lasted until a late hour. But
before the company broke up John H.
Senter invited the members of the
jury and the officers to dine with him
next year in September and he asked
the foreman to appoint a committee to
arrange for the gathering. The fol-
lowing men were appointed w. O.
Nye, East Barre, W. ii. H. Mears,
Marshfield, l.. M. Hutchinson, Mont
pelier.
Resolutions addressed to the States
attorney, John H. Senter, to B. P.
White, foreman of the jury, to W. II.
d. Mears, its secretary, to George
Laokey, the officer in charge Of the
jury, and to Miss Rennie Luke, the re-
porter, thanking them for their u
teous and efficient services and speak
ing in highest terms of their work
were unanimously adopted. These
resolutions were introduced by w. O.
Nye, who has further collected some
interesting facts about the jurors. II.
G. Ellis of Roxbury, at seventy.tw
years, is the Oldest juror and Burt
Dugar of Worcester, at thirty-three
years. is the youngest, while the aver
age & of the jurors, is fifty. seven
years, eight months, and twenty-one
days. A census of party lines shows
that there are thirteen Republicans
and five Democrats. In religion the
men are divided as follows: 3 Congre-
%gational, 8 Methodist, 6 Universal
list, l Spiritualist, 1 Unitarian. / Bap-
fist and l Catholic. The dry wit of
N. M. Robinson of Warren has been
an almost constant source of delight
to the men during their sitting.
The group picture of the jury taken
by S. w. Corse is an excellent like
ness of the members. 1t was with
much regret that the men said good
bye to each other today. The grand
jury was made up as follows: B. p.

ization from Vermont for the better
protection of the waters of Lake
Ohamplsin. Henry G. Thomas, chair
man of the board of Commissioners for
Vermont, has been in correspondence
with the New York committee, aud is
informed through Major Pond that,
as oon as the Vermont Legislature
gets to work, delegates from the New
YORK committee will be in Montpelier,
and urge the Importance of Vermont
taking the same action that New York
has, and that the two organizations
will then communicate with the Par
liaments of Canada, both upper and
lower provinces.
The committee must necessarily
work with the upper province in the
matters pertaining to st. Lawrence
River and Lake Ontario though the
main interest of Vermont will be with
the lower province in relation to Mis-
sisquoi Bay. 1t is hoped that satisfac-
tory and stable results will be brought
about by this Joint action.

GRAND JUKY'S REPORT.

The grand jury made it's final re-
port in county court on Friday and
was discharged after a session Of two
and n half weeks. Judge Tyler in
discharging them took occasion to
compliment the members on the com
mendable q%uickness" with which they
had concluded their labors, consider
ing the large amount of business
which they had to attend to.
Twenty-one indictments were found
and filed in court that morning, while
five bills were reported mot found"
or those not found three were against
persons who were bound over to county
court and have been in Jail for some
time. Hollis Heath and willard Aims
worth, who have been in Jail since
March IA, charged with the murder
of Charles McLane, in Worcester,
were not indicted and go free after
six months incarceration. Amanda
Quebec, who was some time ago
bound over in Montpelier city court
en- the charge of larceny, is also free
again, no indictment being found
against her. Heath, Ainsworth and
Mrs. Quebec were all released from
Jail within fifteen minutes after the
grand jury reported, States ATTORNEY
Senter having asked the court for
their immediate discharge.
Heath and Ainsworth both left the
Jail with their faces beaming with
joy. While they have not been in
close confnemet by any means, and in
fact have worked about the jail and
court house, both inside and out, yet
the very serious nature of the crime
that has been charged against them
has naturally weighed upon their
minds. They will now return to
Worcester and resume life in the
wilds Of the Worcester hills.
OF the twenty-one indictments it is
supposed that at least eight are
against that number of prisoners now
in Jail for whose discharge Mr.. Sen
ter did not ask. Those in Jail await
ing the action of the grand jury, aside
from the three already mentioned, and
the charges upon which they are held
are as follows: Levi Sun, larceny
Rochella salvatore, assault with intent
to kill; James O'Neil, larceny Harry
o. Gilbert, breaking and entering
with intent to commit rape; Myror
Ainsworth, rape; Hiram Warren,
rape; George Garley, larceny Patricl
Sheehan, larceny. Whether anybody
is indicted for the McLane murder
cannot now be said but it is rumoret
there is at least one indictment, ant
that against a person whose name hai
been mentioned frequently in connec'
tion with the murder.
In addition to the indictments, the
grand jury filed the customary report
regarding the special labors which
the statutes lay upon them. High
ways, public money deposits, cemetery
fences, etc., were found proper ant
no complaints entered to them. Tit
Jail was found a proper and suitable
building, safe, we'll ventilated and
heated, and in good repair.
The report was very brief bul
covered the various points of theil
work.

FORMER SULTAN is DEAD
MURAD ", BROTHER OF TUR-
KEYS RULER, PASSES AWAY.
Since he Was Deposed In 1875 He
Has Endured Close and Cruel
Confinement,

Constantinople, Aug. 31.-Former
Sutton Murad " died Monday Of dia=
betes, from which he had long suffered.
The remains Of former Sultan Murad
were inferred Tuesday in the Yenid-
jami mausoleum at Stamboul, where
his mother is buried.
1t was reported in May last from
Vienna that Murad ", the thirty-third
sovereign of the house of Osman, was
dying, and at the same time it was
reported from the same source that his
adherents all over Turkey, known as
the young Turks, were secretly arm
ing and only awaited the signal to rise
in Instruction.
Murad " was born in 1910 and as
cended the throne after the murder of
Sultan Abdul Aziz, May, 1876. In July
of that year Murad was placed under
the regency of his brother, the present
sultan, Abdul-Hammid H., and on Au-
gust 81 he was dethroned. Outwardly
this act was performed legally by the
council of ministers on the ground that
he was insane.
The confinement of Murad has been
OF the cruelest character. Only his
jailers were allowed to see him, and
every precaution was taken to prevent
any intelligence of what was going on
in the outside world from reaching
him. Although Murad is announced to
have died from diabetes. it had gen.
orally been understood, according to
the palace reports, that he was SUI
fering from tuberculosis.

SENSATIONAL NEWS FROM THE
INTERIOR OF CHINA.
Missionaries Forces to Flee from
Threatened Massacre in Pee
hill Province.

Shanghai, Aug. 31.-A revival of
Boxerism is reported from Tamingfu,
In the southwestern part Of Pechili
province, 215 miles from Tientsin.
Over 20 American missionaries, includ-
ing women and children, have been
Obliged to evacuate Tamingfu, owing
to an intended massacre on the part
OF the Boxers, who call themselves
"Tsaiyun." The local telegraph COM
pany refused ito transmit a message
from these missionaries to American
Minister Conger at Picking. Forum
ately, however, an English friend in
Honan forwarded their message,
whereupon Yuan Shika, viceroy of
Pechili province, dispatched urgent or
ders for their protection. In view Of
the fact that the local authorities
gave them no protection and there was
no hope of continuing their work, the
missionaries came out. They trav-
eled in safety.
Grave doubts are felt in some quar-
tiers here as to the real Intentions of
Tie Hang, who is at present absent
from Picking on visit to the south
ern provinces. A similar mission un-
dertaken by Kang vi before the last
Boxer rising is recalled.

COMPLETION is DELAYED.
Polk County Courthouse Will Be
Ready in About Year
Finest in State.
Especial Correspondence

( The new Polk county courthouse
which has been in course of construction
for about three years. will not be finished
for another year at least, and will cost
100000 or 100000 more than the s4O0
600 provided for the purpose when the
new building was ordered. Strikes and
Ilockouts, as well as local litigation over
the location and difficulties with con-
tractors, have delayed the completion of
the building. The roof will probably
be put on this fall, SO that work on the
interior may go forward during the win
ter. When it is finished it will be by far
the finest courthouse in the state The
new post office, which it is expected will
cost million dollars or more, and will
be located on the river front. will prob
ably be commenced some time next
