r~enty-nlne True Bills RstYrned
After Examining ia Witnesses
st Term.

Special Dispatch 90 the Inteliieeneer.
STEUBENv1LLE. O.. March 2l.-
The county grand jury for the sum
mer term OF common pleas court
handed In their report today after be-
ing In session three days, In which
they examined 134 witnesses. found 20
true bills and ignored 16 bills.
One unusual thing which occurred
this session was that there were no
indictments found for selling intoxi
eating liquor and this fact Is causing
great deal OF comment as there
are usually many charges Of this kind
brought.
Probably the most interesting in
dictment found here In many years
was brought by this grand jury when
they indicted Rev. George A. Clancy
OF Coshocton on three charges. two
Tor obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses and one for larceny. Cheney
was formerly pastor OF the Methodist
church at Maynard and while there
he purchased a considerable amount
OF goods on credit. claiming that he
had money In the Coshocton bank. He
left Maynard without settling the bill
and when his creditors tried to collect
from the Coshocton bank. found they
had been buncoed. Cheney went to
Texas, but came back recently on n
visit and was placed in the county
jail, where he will be compelled to
remain until his hearing.
The following is the report OF the
grand jury

ADDRESS BY
CARDINAL GIBBONS
Offers Heartfelt Congratulations to Diocese
Over Selection Of Bishop Council to Garry
On Great Work in Virginia

Hfo Emtnence James Cardinal Glib
bons delivered tho following address
yesterday at tho installation of Bishop
o'Connell:
This is u happy and suspicious day
tor the Diocese of Richmond. and
olor to you all. the newly elected
bishop, clergy and people, my heart
te.t congratulations.
II Is very rarely that u bishop IS
elected TO diocese with SO excep-
the part OF the bishops, the clergy and
the lalty as on the present OCCASION.
your bishop Is tho unanimous choice
of tho prelates OF this ecclesiastical
province, he is practically tho unani-
nous choice of the clergy who were
entitled to vote. And l huve no doubt
that the bishops and clergy represent
the voice OF the faithful of this dio-
cese. II you, my brethren, had tho Sc
lection OF your bishop. i am persuad ed
that all of you who have known RI.
Kew. ID. j. O'Connell. would have named
MN as your spiritual ruler. Like the
people assembled In the Church OF
Milan who suddenly cried out; Let
Ambrose be our bishop" you would
have exclaimed: Let Dennis OCon-
nell be placed over u.s."
Your bishop appears before you to-
Guy, not as stranger whose ability
md availability are TO be put TO the
test. but he stands before US as an
Old friend. with his familiar face. us
been tried and approved BY bishops
clergy and people.
Remarkable Coincidence.
by remarkable coincidence, the arr
rival OF your bishop III this diocese as
young priest In 1877. fresh from the
Eternal City with the holy Fathers
penediction upon him. was contem-
poraneous with my. departure from
Richmond TO assume the new duties
devolvinS on me In the metropolitan
see Of Baltimore. SO that the parish
toner's assembled almost on the same
day to welcome the coming, and to
speed the parting guest"
During tho last thlrty-fvc years
your bishop has Allied many varied and
important posts with credit To him
self and with honor TO tho Church Of
God For six years after his arrival
here, he labored zealously and Fruit
fully III his diocese Oh missionary
duties. during which time he endeared
himself to the clergy and people, who
learned to appreciate his sterling
merits.
In 1883. by the Invitation of His
Holiness Leo Kill. repaired to Rome
with the other urchbishops OF the
United States to perform some prclim-
mary work In preparation for tho
Plennry Council OF Baltimore, and [
selected then DIR. O'Connell as my sec
rotary and companion. | shall always
hold In grateful remembrance the sin
sleness Of purpose and the untiring
