Grand Jury Working on Case.

Cleveland, Dec. 12.-The grand jury
of Cuyahoga county commenced today
an investigation into the affairs of Mrs,
Cassie L. Chadwick. Although it is
the desire of the prosecuting attorney
to secure an indictment for forgery,
he has arranged his evidence in such
a manner as to cover pretty much all
manner of irregularities in financial
dealing, and if vote against Mrs.
Chadwick, should be refused in any one
particular, he is confident of holding
her on something else. His main de
pendence, however, is the evidence
pointing to forgery. Among the wit
nesses present this morning at the
opening of the session of the grand
jury were c. X. Whitney, of Oberlin,
and Receiver Lyons, of the Citizens
bank of Oberlip.

The Prices of Stock Continue Theif
Downward Stride,


New York, Dec. 12-There was an.
other opening smash in prices OF
stocks today, the trouble again cen
tering in Amalgamated Copper.
The market fuctuated unevenly af
ter the opening and then went lower
The London prices for Americans be
fore the opening here were generally
higher and gave no hint Of the storm
hanging over the market.
The opening break created consid
cradle uneasiness, though nothing like
last Thursdays decentralization fol
lowed. Nevertheless, the feeling was
one of vague alarm. Traders seemed
of the opinion that last weeks liquida
tion had not yet exhausted itself and
it was clear that great number oi
the accounts were being closed. Lon
don was reported to have sold 10000
shares, including great deal Of steel
common and preferred. Wire houses
also sold and representatives OF
prompt local brokerage firms were
openly bearish. The brokers operat
ing for Boston were said to have sold
copper and other stocks extensively.
