jury to investigate the attempts At juryHxfrrr ia conncctiou with the Cronin trial, arid the jnror& summoned immediately assembled in the com t-rooxn. Ex-Mayor Xoche is foreman of tho body. Tho jury examined a largo number of witnesses, and at 10:00 to-night, returned indictments agaiast the following persons: Hanks, Solomon. Smith, Xavanagh, O'Donnell and Joseph Kohn. The latter is a fruit-dealer, who. it is said, was to go on tho jury and get Sl.'tO from Hanks. , Hanks has been a bailiff for eight ornino years, having been appointed in Sheritt Matron's time, lie has always been regarded as a 'square" man. Mark Solomon was appointed bailiff in May, 18S3. from the Tenth ward. Little is known about him. Fred W. Smith is unknown around tho court-houso. Ihomaa Kavanagh was engineer at the Insane Asylum during tho 'boodlers'" regime, and was mixed up in that transaction. He is now in business on Franklin street, and, strange to say, his partner was summoned as a juror. , When the examination of the State's attorney revealed his connection with Kavanagh, ho was peremptorily challenged. It was about cidnight when tho special grand jury adjourned. Their report was short and formal ia character, except for an intimation that the jurors believed the plot to be more widespread than was indicated by the six indictments returned. All the indicted persons spent tho night in tho county jail. Accordi n g to a statement by la wy cr Mills, it was the bailifi Solomon who first attempted to bribe citizen Tachapat, who was afterward to bo summoned as a juror. Solomon also is tho man whoso confession was obtained. Solomon turned over to tho State's attorney a list of names and addresses said to bo prospective corrupt jurors. Only two of the list had yet been mxsmoned. and neither was yet examined. Solomon said tho list had been furnished to him by bailiff Hanks while they were seated . la the court-room just behind the Cronin rnjpects whom they were guarding. Hanks had said 42.000 would bo given for a fixed juror half to the man in the box and half to tho bailiffs. "Last night," Mr. Mills's rarrative continued, "the men on tho list were interviewed by the chief of police. One man stated that ho Lad been approached -with an offer of $2,000 to go on tho jury by Fred W. Smith, a hardware manufacturer's agent. Another citizen was also similarly approached by Smith. "O'Donnell'a part, as told by Mr. Mills, was similar to that of Smith's. Ho . sounded at least one man, and offered him 1,000. O'Doncell, who was arrested early in the evening, is said to have confessed that a person understood to be Kavanagh. guaranteed that tho money offered' would be forthcoming. Tho supposed corrupt veniremen were carefully instructed as to their manner while being examined in . court, being told how they should answer, ' and to bo gruff with tho lawyers for tho defense. State's Attorney Lbngeneckef to-day emphatically denied tho elaborate reports published this morning, that tho records and exhibits in the Cronin case had been

stolen from his office, and that bis former stenographer, James Furcell, was tho guilty man. Mr. Longenecker said it was an outrage to drag Fureell's name into such a con nection, and that tho stones of tho theft -were fiction. TIFTEIIX PERSONS LXJUEED.

INCREASED SILVER COINAGE

Apparent Necessity for PurcbasingMorc Uullion than Is Iow Being Coined. Figures Quoted by a Treasury Official Showing the Demand for Silver Circulation Will Soon Be Greater than the Supply. SILVER COINAGE. IroIabUty that It Will Be Increased to Meet the Business Needs of the Country. Facial to the Indianapolis Journal. . Av asiiingtox, Oct. 12. Much interest nas been excited here and in New York over the subject of the policy of the administration as to silver coinage by the report, published this morning, that it was likely the monthly purchase of bullion would be in creased, at least temporarily, from two to four millions a month. Those who should know most about it say it is not at all probable that tho present status will be disturbed unless Congress so directs; that notwithstandiug tho law provides there shall be two millions coined monthly, and this amount may, at the discretion of the Secretary of tho Treasury, be increased to four millions a month, Secretary Windom is disincliued to change the preeent policy, and will leave it at two millions in the absence of further congressional directions. Congress will be in session in about seven weeks, aud although tho demand for silver certificates which are issued in denomina-. tions of 1 and 2 and upward is increas ing, and the supply, as the busy season ap proaches, decreases. Congress will havo opportunity to take action before any inconvenience to commercial circles is iniiictcd. In tho underjstrata of the Treasury Department an' impression exists, however, that circumstances point to the necessity of increasing the monthly coinage and issue of certilicates. A Treasurv official said to vour corre spondent to-day: The whole story of silver can be found in tho Treasury statement showing the condition of our silver currency. By it wo see that the net standi ri j.i ny aru Buyer cioiiars in me .treasury in July, 18S6, was $04,000,000 in round numbers; in July, , 18S7, it was $67,000,000; in July. 1883. 42,000,000; in July, 18S9, $21,000,000, and tho 10th inat. it was but $5,000,000. These comparisons show plainly that it is but a question of a few months when the demand for silver circulation will be greater than the supply. What may be done, with Congress so close upon us, cannot be said; butthatsomething will have to be done is clear. The business of the country is very brisk at this season of the year, and people must have more money for tho circulating medium. Thoimmenso output of silver currency can be accounted for in part by the retirement of national bank circulations. The national banks do not furnish tho circulation needed in the country, and when tho government is called upon to do so it meets tho demand by issuing silver certificates of small denominations, supplying the loss of national bank notes and meeting the requirements of trade. There is no doubt in my mind that the situation points clearly to an immediate prospect of an increased purchase of silver to meet tho actual wants of tho country." This view of a Treasury official on tho silver question shows the radical change which has taken place on this subject in financial or Treasury circles, when not three years ago there was an appeal made to Congress for relief from continued compulsory coinage. Whatever the action mav be bv either the Treasurv DeDartraent or Congress during the next six months or year it will tend to enlarge rather than contract the circulating medium, so that the outlook is favorable for even an easier r a. . a. money maraet tnan we nave at. present.

Among the communications received from tho house of bishops was one to tho effect that in the Benedicite, when used in place of tho Te Deum, the refrain, "Praise Him and magnify Him forever," need not be repeated after every verse. Another was that in tho prayer for all conditions of men, instead of the .supplication, "Those especially in prayer for Thy holy church uni versal," there shall be said: "More especially in prayer for the good of the Catholic Churcn." The committee on constitu tional amendments presented resolutions which referred to Article 7, The resolutions wero roferred for action at a later period. At St. Thomas Church, this xnornint Rev.

Y., Oct. 12. Quite a stir has been created among the trustees and congregation of the Delaware-avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in this city, by the action of the Lockport Conference. Rev. Dr. Bashford, pastor of the church, had been appointed president of the ,Wesleyan University, Ohio, but by an arrange ment with the university he was per mitted on certain conditions to retain his fastorate here foranotheryear. Nothwithstandngthis, the conference appointed J. D. Phelps, of the First Church of Rochester, to fill the pastorate of the Delaware-avenue Church. The stewards of the church met in secret session last evening, and elected Dr. Wentworth as tempo rary pastor. They also passed caustlo resolu tions on the action of the bishop, tme oi tne trustees stated this morning that the meeting voted unanimously to re spectfully refuso to receive Rev. Mr. Phelps. If the bishop refuses to reconsider his action the church will continue to refuse the appointment of Mr. Phelps, and will engage its own minister. A dispatch from Rochester savs that Rev. Mr. Phelps has been ordered bv the bishop to proceed to Buffalo aud preach in the Delawareavenue Uhurca to-morrow, according to nis appointment. It the trustees of the church hold to their determination not to accent Mr. Phelps, there is likely to be an Interesting conflict of authority. i;ev. a. F.

Dr. Patton favored con solidation. Hon J. B. Grinncll, of Iowa, thought the American board a too close corporation. It was voted to appoint a committee of thirteen, to act with committees of the benevolen'c societies, to consider the relation of the societies to the churches, and the council declares its opinion in favor of steps which will make the societies the representatives of the churches. liev.

Tho ladder leading down tho conmanionway was also twisted and smashed. A big wave, on Sunday afternoon, struck the bridge where the captai n was standing. It broke the telegraph instrument that connected with the engineer's apartments- The compass was knocked out of 'gear by the same, big wave, but was soon set aright again. ' One wavo rolled over the ocean racer, caught one of the boatswains, nnd dashed him against the stanchions. Ho was severely injured, and is now confined ia the hospital aboard ship.

A Uquor.Dealer Discovers that the Measure Did Not Get a Majority of the Votes. Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 12. Mr. Glodkin, the wholesale liquor-dealer of this city, makes the point that prohibitiou has not carried in North Dakota, because the separ ate clause on that Question did not receive a majority of all the votes cast for the in strument itself, but only a majority of all tho votes cast on the clause. A maiority of all votes cast for the prohibition was, in round numbers. 19,750, and the majority for the separate clause or section was less than 10,000. He cites the language of the admission act in proof of his position, construing it to mean that tho majority for a separate proposition must at the least be equal to a maiority of all tho votes cast for the Constitution. He has submitted the question to his lawyer, and will call President Harrison's attention to the apparent conflict. He hopes the President will interpret tho admission act as he does, and holds that the same has not been complied with as far as the separate clause is concerned. . Official Figure In South Dakota.

GOOD ROADS AND PUBLIC ECONOMY. A IdtUe Scientific Knowledge of Turnpike Construction Effect a Great Sarin?. Professor Bhaler, in October Scrlbner. Tho experienced traveler who finds him self at the beginning of a newly-mended road will betake himself to tho nearest house and learn how far the improvement extends; if for the distance of ten miles, lie will then inquire by whatcircuit, not exceeding fifteen miles in length, he can escape from the danger of the repairs. After a time nature mends tho damage done by me ; process oi .reconstruction, ana the tjournoyer may find once again ' a way tolerable, save where the hill-sides are steep or the ground wet. - In the winter season such roads, at least in the counties where tho soil is of a clayey nature, are often prac tically impassable, in such regions, alter a distressing experience of some decades. the people nnd themselves willing to turn over to a corporation tho precious privilege of controlling their high ways. A little knowledge as to the art of road-making uu expenditure of not more labor than is normally given to the annual repair of tho roads, would in most cases have secured to the community about as good roads as they obtain by tho construction of turnpikes. In other wordt, our system of ignorant mismanagement in the construction and maiutenauce of rural ways leads to a vast and purposeless expenditure. If wo tajto xuo misapplied expenses or our country-ways, if we count at the same time the mere social disadvantages which they bring to the people, it is probable that the sum of the road-tax in this country is freater than that ofbur ordinary taxation. Yom some data which I have gathered ii my personal experience with roads, I am inclined to think that even in New England the cost to the public arising from metlectivo roadways, as well as from the waste of money expended on them, amounts to not less than an average of S10 a year on each household. In this reckoning I have included tho loss of time and of transporting power of vehicles, tho wear and tear of wagons and carriages, and tho beasts which draw them. It is probable that the expenditure in this direction is greater than that which is incurred lor schools, or any other single element of public interest. I am inclined, indeed, to tliink that it comes near the sum of ail our State and federal taxa tion together. SOUPS AN OUT.DOOR PICNIC. A Jolly Manner in Virginia of Ringing the ' Changes on Spoons. Washington Post. "I found a peculiar custom un at Sherherdstown. V7. Va., where 1 spent my vacaxion," saia a gentleman yesterday, "which was a novelty. The people havo what they call soups.' A 'soup is a sort of ont-door picnic. Each person invited brings a dressed chicken. 1 ho host provides the vegetables. The chickens and vegetables are nut iuto huge kettles, holding ten to twenty gallons, and cooked over open fires for several hours until tbe combination is : reduced to a jelly. Pepper and other seasoning are introduced. Ihe young folks stir tho soup with long-handled iron , spoons, walking around tne Kettle as they stir. When a girl's spoon clicks against tho spoon of a young man he is bound to catch and kiss her.' As you can imagine, there aro a good many lively scrimmages around the kettle. When the soup is dono it is ladled out into plates and eaten, and is de licious. The custom is an old ono and I was unable to find its origin. A company of StonewallJackscn's command was re cruited around Shepherdstown, and it still keeps up the organization. It has a reunion every year and celebrates the occasion with a grand 'soup.' A souu' of that company to bo properly gotten up should ue maae ox sioien cnicitens; out; tne veterans have had to give up foraging siuco tho war and now make a compromise with necessity by going around in squads aud robbing each other's hen-roosts bv a pre-ar ranged understanding.'7 HOW TO USE PERFUME. Sachets for ITosiery, Glores and All Articles of Woman's Dress. New York Mall and Express. 'Years ago it was tho proper thing for a girl to rinse her lace handkerchief in the scent-bottle," said a perfumer to a reporter recently. 'Such a proceeding is now regarded as having in it a touch of the cheaply common, for if there is one article of a fashionable equipment that is not perfumed it is the handkerchief. "Hosiery and gloves slumber in beds of sweet grass ana rose leaves; laces, wraps and underwear have their eenarate sachet pillows; dresses are hung among tho bags of sweet clover, which perfume every closet. i i a. i .: -i 1 i jjvcu uuuuciruu&ci) eiuib ira grant ouors when uncovered, and in the linines of' many overcoats the wadding is dusted with orris, but not a trace of scent bangs about the sheer little square of lace-edeed mull.

Even card-cases and pocketbooks are perfumed, and so is the small blotter bought with fashionable stationery. t Barred on Account of Ills Color. Baltimoke. Oct. 12. James O. Credit, a young colored man, being mistaken for a fcuanlard, was given to understand that he would be admitted to the Baltimore University School of Medicine, but upon it being known that he was a negro ho was refused admittance. He then applied at the Maryland university, and beine a train turned down, will go to the Long Island Medical College. Dr. Michael, dean of the Maryland University, says that the refusal to admit Credit was not based on race prejudice on the part of the faculty, but simply as a matter of expediency. The institution is not endowed, and therefore cannot afford to antagonize the sentiments ot its patrons. ' Suits to Recover Stolen Bonds. ' New Orleans, Oct 12. Two writs of sequestration wero sued out to-day by Attorney-general Rogers, one against Maurice J. Hart, and the other against Laura Games, sister of K. A.

These bonds complete the $45,000 new Louisiana fours that have been taken from 'the Treasury. There are still outstanding $.'i00.000 of bonds which disappeared during Barke's term of office, and which were used by Burke as collateral. After deducting the recovered bouds from Burke's deficit he is still about $400,000 short. Destructlve Storm In Southern Illinois. Cairo, 111.. Oct. 12.

ABOUT VIVISECTION. What a Noted Surgeon Has to Say of It Importance. Dr. W. W. Keen, in October Harper. Whatever can be advanced against vivU section, there is this to be said in its favor, that without it the exact localization of cerebral tumors and other such lesions, which is ono of tho chief glories of tho present, day, would be impossible. We owe our knowledge of the location of cerebral functions to many observers, chief of whom are Ferrier and Horsley, of England; Fritsch, Hitzig, and Goltz. of Germany. Horslcy'sj method will sufiico as a type. The brain of a monkey having, been ers posed art tho part to be investigated, ther poles of a battery are applied over squares' ono'twelith of an inch iu diameter, and all the various movements which occur (if any) aro minutely studied. Ono square having been studied, the next is stimulated, and the results are again noted, and so on from 6quaro to square. These movements are then tabulated. For example all thoso adjacent squares which, when stimulated, produce movements of the thumb, are called tho region for representation of tho thumb, or. shortly, 'the thumb center," and to all those squares which produce movements of tho baud, tho elbow, tjio shoulder or tho face, etc., are given corre sponding names. In this way the brain has been mapped out, region by region, and the same minute, patient etudy given to each. These animals. I should add, aro etherized so that they do not sutler the least pain. I may also say, in passing, that such operations, with few exceptions, even without ether, aro not painful. The brain itself can be handled, compressed, cut or torn without the least pain. A number of cases have already been reported iu which a considerable portion of tho human brain has been removed by operation and the patients have been out bn tho street within a week. without pain, fever or a single dose oV medicine. Studying in this way tho brain of tholower animals, wo now have a very fair knowlcdgo of tho localization of many of its lunctions. With the functions of tho front part we aro as vet not familiar.i Tho part which lies, roughly speaking, be hind and in front of one of the chief fissuresof the brain (the fissure, of Kolando, ,; which runs downward and .forward abovev tho ear) is kuown as the "motor region."4 In this region the different centres have been mapped out in the monkey's brain, and havo been verified in tho brain of mart many times. Host of that part of the brain' above and behind the ear has no special functions that we know of at present, except one region, which is the center for? sight. Injury to this produces blindness of the half of each retina on the same side as the injury to the brain. Hut it is extremely difficult to obtain in the lower animals any evidence of tho special senses other than that of touch, the abolition of which produces loss of feeling, of which wo can get exact evidence. Motion and sensation. therefore, aro tho two things that can b most readilj' determined. GERMANY'S KOYAL CniLDRUN. A Pretty Story for Young Folks of This Coun try to Head. Little Men and Women. Tho young Emperor of Germany, Williaj i, II, has five little boys. The eldest is seven years old. He is the Crown Prince and the heir to the throne. He will some day be Emperor of Germany. Hois a tine, manly little fellow. Germany is a very military country, and the Emperor William is such a thorough soldier that strict military discipline is the order of tho day iu the nurseries of his little people. As soon as petticoats are left off tho tiny boys are dressed in baby uniforms, and the young Crown Frinco looks quite liko a little soldier. When their fatherjvisits then: in their own quarters (as 1 suppose 1 ought to call such a very military nursery) the Crown Prince commands bis smaller brothers to "fall in." Then Frederick and Albert, who) are scarcely moro than babies, "fall in." Little Prince Albert is such a mite that ho. is notable to keep his position for long, and he soon trots away to his nurse's si do. Hut the Crown Prince 'and Prince Frcder ick stand stiff and starched liko real . soldiers till their father returns their salute in proper fashion. When tho little Crown Prince was sis years old he was given a bedroom to himself instead of sleeping in tho nursery witbi the others. He was very pleased, and said: "Oh, that is nice; now I need not be with, the children any more." In the summer of J1SS3 all five boys had a charming holiday with their mother at th beautiful castle of Oberhof, in the forest of Thuringia. Their father was away. A little fort was built for them in the corner of the gardens, with a tent and two small cannon The threo eldest, dressed in olllccr's uniforms, paraded iu front of the fort. Then while tne Crown Prince beat tho drum art old soldier showed tho other two how to at tack and defend the fort. Littlo Prince Augustus William, who was only a year and a half, was dressed in white, and wore a tiny helmet. He looked on and clapped, bis hands. In Germany every boy, whetner he is tho sou of the Emperor or of a peasant, has some day to be a soldier. The Emperor is very fond of his five boys. Almost nis first question is. when he returns homev, "How are the boysP m Fingers llefore Forks. ropular Science Monttly. The Duchess of Beanfort.ning once ate Madame de Guise's with King Henri IV of. France, extended one hand to receive hisj Majesty's salutation, while she dipped the fingers of the other hand into a dish to pick.', out what was to her 'taste. This incident' happened in tho year 15 It demonstrates that less than iXK) years ago the lingers were still used to perform the oifico now assigned to forks in the highest and most rehnedt circles of society. At about this time, i a. fact, was the turning-point when forks becan to be used at table as they are now.' When we reflect how nice were the ideas of that refined age on all matters of outer decency and behavior, aud how strict was tho etiquette of the courts, we may well wonder that the fork was so la,to in coming into use as a table-furnishing. Tbe ladies of the middle ages and the renaissance were not less proud of a delicate,, well-kept hand than those of our own days, and yet they picked the meat from the platter with their slender white fingers, ana in them bore io to their mouths. The fact is all the more . remarkable because the form of the fork was familiar enough, and its application to other uses was not uncommon. A Practical Joke by Apaches. II. O. Tassanl, in October Overland. Tho officer referred to herein had com manded a company of Apache scouts iu thA field against Ju. the Chiricahua chief, be- , f(re being detailed as inspector at Saa Carlos.
