]nd., May U.—The con

test between Indiana's two state boards of agriculture, the new, elected by the I last legislature, and the old, which refuses to surrender, has been, as already announced, decided by the superior court in favor of the latter. It is held that the old board, which was granted its charter under the constitution of Indiana repealed in 1SS1, has the rights of a private corporation and its power is equivalent I to a perpetual franchise, so that although managing public business and using public appropriations, it is not subject to state control, and is beyond the reach of the, legislature. The case has been appealed to the supreme court and it is expected by the lawyers of the new board that the decision rendered to-dav will be reversed.

weeks' investigation the grand jury completed its labors in the Ilenncssy case and the killing of Italians at tile parish prison by returning six indictments for attempted bribery and presenting a report of its investigations. The men indicted are Thomas MeCrystol and John Cooney, with D. C. O'Malley and liernard dlundi, Charles Granger and liernard Ariuant.

The grand jury failed to return Indictments against any one of the participants in the killing of the prisoners who had been acquitted of the charge of murdering Chief Ilenncssy, explain ing its action by saying that tho uprising was spontaneous that from 0,000 to 8,000 persons toolt part in the, afl'aii,3 which was of such a magnitude that it was difticuH to tix the truilt. Xinc of the eleven who were killed in the parish prison are clearly shown to nave renounced their allegiance to any foreign power.

The jury first refers to the investigation into the Ilenncssy assassiuatiou. It characterizes tho verdict of the petit jury as startling, amazing, a bitter disappointment, shocking to the opinion and provoking the repeated accusation that some of tho jury had been unfaithful to their high ollice. It terms the case as made by the, state a. stryujf cjne i® every respect, and refers to the rumors that the jury was tampered with.

Each one of tho jurors, the report says, was summoned and. made a state ment. and the report riifers further to the surprising scenos which took place in the petit jury room. The uctiorts of the petit jury are analyzed and it says that talesmen wore approaoliqd prior to the trial aud the vilo work of attempting to bribe carried on even in the court room. One favorite expression made to talesnraC was "I!ig money might be made b, going on the jury and doing right." a

there is no possible doubt ljut tlidt sue' attempts were made by various parties in the service of the defense entertained by some of the talesmen and scornfully rejected by others. Talesmen who had been •approached refused to tell what they knew, and gave the impression that they had been silenced.

The grand jury learned that the. list of "00 talesmen in the llennessy case was in the ollice of O'Malley & Aduins at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, February 2'J, 1 SHI, though the trial judge issued special orders on Saturday evening that lie list was not to be made public or given to the counsel of either side until Monday morning. It is not shown by whose hands the, lists were secured, but enough is known to confirm the past secret aud powerful influence of the so-called private detective aaeney and Counsel Adams to handle the machinery of the court.

Great and small pioces of evidence show that the lists of names were tampered with when drawn from the jury wheel and before they reached the jury box in the court. O'Malley was put in possession of the lists almost Immediately and before they reached the district attorney.

The existence of the Mafia is deter mined by evidence, savs the report. It closes thus: "The condition of alTHirs in tills c-ominuntt.v ns to certain violators of tlio law tind reached such iistiij:'.'that the law tiself was we}J n|Bh powerless to ileal wl'.h tin-in. .-o far-rOftclilni! w-aa tliolr power and Influence In criminal enses Good citizens were profound ly Impressed by the repeated and ul&nal failure of justice.

"Kvideiice la before us from ofllefnl sovrooa that ,'lcven persons wore kilted In the attach on the parts!) prison. In the careful explain nt on as to the citizenship of these men we find that eight of them wero beyond question American citizens and ftnotbei had declared his Intention In this court, which act carries with ft the renunciation of allegiance to his native country. It Is a noteworthy fact lu connection with the uprising that no injury whatever was done to either person or property beyond tho ono act which seemed to have been the object of tho assembling at the parish prison. "We have referred to the large number of oltlzcns participating in the demonstration, estimated by Judges at from 0.1XJ0 to 8.000, regarded as a spontaneous uprising of the people. The mugnitudo of this afTair makes It a difficult task to tlx the guilt upon any number of piirticipantH, fn fact ttie HI I seemed to Involve the entire people ol the parish and city of New Orleans, so profmcis their sympathy and extended their connection with the atTalr. In viuw of these considerations the thorough examination of the subject has failed to disclose tho nccessary facts to Justify the grand jury in presenting Indictments."

LINCOLN, Xeb., May (1.—The siiprcine court of the state on Tuesday rendered a decision in the lloyd-Thayer quo-warranto case, ousting Gov. Bind aud declaring Thayer the legal governor of Nebraska. The opinion recites the fact that, Iloyd was legally, elected governor of the slate, but is disqualified on the ground of non-citi-aenship. The opinion was signed by Chief Justice t'obb and Justice Xorval. Judge Maxwell tiled a dissenting opinion, talcing the ground that lloyd was made a citizen by the enabling: aift, being a citizen oi the territory at the time of the admission of the territory into the union.

The opinion closes in these words "Under judgment of the court Thayer will ro« main governor, but IV'yd i'au iippeul to tlio supremo conn of the United States, and that his tUHieal will net as a supersedeas." lathis way lToyil i-iin hold Ids ii until the Supreme court. 6f the United States pusses oa the ipiostiuu of Citizenship."

The court also decides against tho•• claim of l.ieut.-Gov. Majors of tho right to \ct, as governor in the event o£ Boyd's being ousted.

As soon as possible the writ of ouster was prepared. Gyv. Thayer filed tlm bond required with C. W. Moshcr, R. G. Cutcalt and II. T. Oxnard as sureties, and took the oath of ollice before Chief-.lustieo Cobb. The writ was then placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff I toxic, and that otlicer, with Gov. Thayer and liis attorneys and friend, proceeded to the executive o'fflco, where the writ was served upon Gov. Boyd. Tlio governor was ijot expecting such a summary proceeding aud was greatly surprised. As soon as lit had read tho writ, ho said: "Gentlemen. I recognize tho supremacy of the law and am ready to turn the ofllce over to my successor, but I would tike tho opportunity to uonsult with my attorneys. They are at tho holel and I have sent for them."

Gov. Thayer's attorney, Judge Mason. Judge Blair aud Gen. Webster said that SO far as they wero concerned they wore perfectly willing, but tho execution of the writ lay with the ofliccr. Sheriff lloxie said that there was but one tiling for him to do a nit that was to obey the or of the, court. serve the writ and put Gov. Thayer in possession 6f the ollice. which he proceeded to do. John I). llowe, one of Gov. Boyd's attorneys, applied to the supremo court for a stay of procccilinirs pending the preparation of t«e transcript and tho lull of exceptions, but this was denied, anfi 6ov. haver took formal possession o£ pie office. Adjutant General Vifquain tendered his resignation and ex-Adju-tant General Colo was reappointed. Gov. Thayer has appointed his son, John W. Thayer, Jr., as private secretary and J. 10. Ferris executive clerk.

The decision on the whole may bo said to be a surprise, the opinion being that in the event of the ousting of lloyd Lieut. Gov. Majors Would be named as the successor.
