The principal topic Of conversat ton on
the streets last night and yesterday was
the probable result Of the grand Jury
Investigation into the alleged sale Of
liquor to minors.
Nearly half hundred witnesses had
been summoned, most of them boys,
ranging in ago from twelve and eighteen
years.
The second meeting of the jury was
held yesterday afternoon and it was
nearly 0 o'clock: when tho body adj
journed.
About twenty-five witnesses were ex-
arnined, all tending to show that in GER
tain bars it was the regular thing to sell
liquor to minors, either with or with
out notes, alleged to have been written
b. some man or woman
The greatest secrecy is being main
tanned by the jury and the officers Of
the court. Itfwas learned last night
that the witnesses, or, at, least, most OF
them, testified against three we'll known
har-roons on Hull Street. and two COM
raratively new places beside, one Of them
q negro bar.
Indictments will probably be brought
against these five places. and the pro
rrietors will be, summoned to answer the
charges in court.
The grand jury adjourned to meet
again next Tuesday afternoon at 8
o'clock
