Judge Pearce in his charge to
the grand jurors, congratulated
them upon the fact that no very
serious matters called for their at
tention. Referring to the case of
State VS.. Akin, which had been be-
fore two grand juries, one of which
had found an indictment which had
been quashed owing to its lacking
the foreman's signature, and ig
nored by the other when presented,
His Honor stated the case would
again be submitted, and the grand
jury should treat it precisely as if
it had never before been presented.
If the evidence were such as would
lead the grand jurors, if they were
sitting as petit jurors, to find ver-
dict of guilty, they should indict
the accused. But if the evid ence
vas not sufficient to justify such a
verdict, they should find no indict-
ment. The grand jury then retired
and at 3 o'clock came into Court
with an Indictment against Samuel
Anderson, colored, for larceny, and
were discharged for the day.
Chas. j. Bonaparte, F. w. Story
and James P. Gorter, of Baltimore,
argued upon a petition for the al
lowance of counsel fees to Miss
Wickes, who was made a defend
ant involuntary in a suit to set
aside the sale of a farm in Kent
county, which it was claimed was
an estate in tail descending to Miss
Wickes, which claim the Court of
Appeals held to be invalid. The
Courts decision upon the petition
was reserved.
The first case taken up for trial
was Edwin A. Brown VS.. Oliver B.
Logan, from the appeal docket.
The case continued on Tuesday.
1t grew out of horse trade, Logan
claiming the mare he got had been
misrepresented, and brought suit
against Brown before Magistrate
Cranmer, at North East. Brown
failed to appear and Logan got a
verdict of 500. Brown appealed
the case. The jury found a verdict
for Logan for $37. %.
The appeal case of Lennox Dick
and John Dick VS.. A. @. Russell
was next called. LennOx Dick
agreed to buy a pony from Russell,
but refused to live mp to his bar
gain after using animal for months
Russell brought suit before Magis
trate Biddle at North East and re-
covered verdict. Dick appealed
The claim was made that Dick was
q minor and could not execute a
valid contract, but evidence showed
he filed responsible position as
foreman for his father. The Jury
returned a verdict of $3.50 fol
Russell.
Wednesday morning Alfred Ben
der, of Port Deposit, was tried fol
unlawfully selling intoxicating
liquor. Verdict not guilty.
The grand jury on Tuesday fount
Indictments against James Holland

Will Not Take Back Louise.

Berlin, Nov. 6-king Frederick
August OF Saxony seems to have
made resolution OF showing his peo-
pie that he does not care what they
think OF him, and that he will follow
his own will in all things, Not only
has he positively refused to consent
to take back his divorced wife, Coun-
tess montigneso, better known as
Crown Princess Louise, but he has
also intimated that he wants his an
nual salary rs king considerably in

not long ago during the reign oil
King George. As the financial con-
dtions of the country are exceeding
ly bad, and the taxes already so
high that the people could not, pos
sibly bear any more burdens, the de-
mand Of the king just at present Is
considered in very bad taste, and
undoubtedly be refused by the Diet.

THE BILL LOOKED RIGHT.
And While It Looked That Way the
Owner Quickly Got
Rid of It.

There are curious phases in human
nature. Sometimes it occurs that ap-
parently the most honest man in the
community will not hesitate to smuggle
a few luxuries across the boundary line
between Canada and the United States,
or even by steamer from Europe. His
loyalty to Uncle Sam is sometimes a
trifle shaken. Bank people inform me
that occasionally man who has always
had a thoroughly upright reputation
will hesitate about having counterfeit
bill which has been passed upon him
stamped as counterfeit. so the loss shall
fall upon him. In few men the ten
dency is developed to let some other
man make the loss on the counterfeit
bill, which, of course, is just as dishon-
est as to steal five dollars from any
source. A queer instance was related
to the Boston Budget Saunterer during
his stay in a country town, where a
misery old chap was customer to the
only bank in the town. One day this old
fellow came in, and in rather shame
faced manner approached the cashier
with a five-dolar bank note, which
showed evidence of being long in use.
"Mr. Cashier. what do you say about
that bank note? How does it look tc
you?"
A very casual examination convinced
the cashier that it was a counterfeit
Hence he told his misery friend his con-
victions in the matter, passing thu
money back, whereupon the owner o.
the counterfeit note very carefully fold
ed it up, and placed 1t in his vest pocket
About month afterwards this same
individual was in the bank, and thu
cashier says to him: What did you d.
with that fve-dollar bank note?"
well" said he, 81 had days whel
that bill looked all right to me. The

wrong. But during one of the days whel
it looked all right passed it off as genu

THE WIRELESS m WAR.
Having It's First Real Test in the
War Between japan and
Russia.

Wireless telegraphy as a means Of
communication between the ships OF
scattered fleet during war maneuyers
is having its first real test in the pres
ent struggle in the far east, and IN al
least one case 1t has done what was
predicted of it-notitied one feet OF the
presence of an enemy, says an eastern
exchange.
Although there have been attempts
to maintain secrecy in dispatches by
use of differently tuned" instruments,
the Japanese instruments have been
affected by the Russian dispatches
On the night of February s, after Rear
Admiral Togo had divided his fleet and
sent Rear Admiral Uriu with a small
squadron and two divisions of torpedo
boats to Chemulpo, and had gone with
the rest to head of the main Russian
feet at Port Arthur. Admiral Togos
chief anxiety was lest the Russians
should leave Port Arthur before his
torpedo boat divisions reached II, and
should have joined the Koreetz and
Variag at Chemulpo, in which case the
squadron of Rear Admiral Uriu would
probably be annihilated.
The first reinsurance he had came
during the early evening, while he was
still out of sight of land, 80 or 40 miles
from Port Arthur The wireless in
strument on the flagship suddenly be-
gan working. picking up a mysterious
message from the air. Most Of II was
unintelligible to the "Japs," probably
on account of cipher, but one word
was plain-Askold. The Askold was
one of the Russian cruisers, and the
dispatch was evidently from one OF
the Russian feet. The ship which
sent it could not have been far be-
low the horizon, certainly nowhere
near Chemulpo, and the japanese were
at once encouraged to believe that the
enemy were still directly ahead Of
them in Port Arthur. That proved t
be the case.
1t is evident, from the work alread!
accomplished. that had the wireless
telegraph been working at the time o
: our Spanish war there never woult
have been a disagreement as to tn,
+. command of the fleet at Santiago. AID
miral Togo has been able to keep II

the most appalling mine accidents in

for many years occurred at No 1
Auchinclose shaft. operated by the

hour this morning, in which ten men

The three men injured we're bruised
and cut about the body by flying
wreckage, while standing at the
mouth OF the shaft ready to descend.
The signal was given to the engi'
neer, who began lowering the men.
The carriage had gone but a lew ieet
when the engineer lost control OF his
engine, owing to. the reverse levers
failing to work, and the carriage,
with it's load cf human beings, ten in
all, was dashed beyond the Ross Wien
landing nearly l, 100 feet below the
surface, and from there were precipi
tate. 800 feet further into stump.
Those who may not have been kill

drowned In the stump, which is fully
fifty feet deep with water.
Up to 8 o'clock no aid could reach
them aad every man on, the Ill fatet
carriage had been given up by The
officials for lost.
The victims, who were miners ant
la borers, resided in Nanticoke, and
most OF them leave families. The.
we're Poles or Slavs, with the excep

: excitement continues to prevail
a bout the mouth OF the shaft to
, night.

about, crying and moaning for thos
at the bottom. There are fully se,

bodies, and it may require two {

be recovered.
