' CRONIN JURY CONSPIRACY. A Clerk in the Office of Lawyer Trade IndictedAlleged Confessions of the Plotters. CniCAca, Oct. 14. In Judge Baker's court to-day a special grand jury to further investigate tie charges of jury bribing was sworn. It is composed of well-known citizens. S. B. Chase was chosen foreman. Judge Baker briefly addressed the jury, telling its members that, above all things, they must remember to observe strict secrecy in regard to the matters brought under their observation. The Judge then read the law regarding the penalties to be enforced in case of a violation of the secrecy , of the grand jury-room. This afternoon the grand jury roturned a joint bill against John Graham, Mark Salomon, Alexander JL. Hanks and Fred W. Smith. After xnak1ng the return the jury adjourned until to-morrow. John Graham, the clerk in A. S. Trude's office, who is now under indictment, was arrested on Sunday night abont 12 o'clock, and has been under lock and key ever since. He was the man who was to put up the money with which to bribe the jurors, and it is asserted by Judge Loneenecker that evidence against him is very conclusive. The State's attorney also says the case by no means ends with the present indictment, but will be very much moro far-reaching than the most sanguine can suppose. Other indictments may be expected to follow in short order. When the matter is ripe the State's attorney, or one of his associates, will give to the reporters a detailed account of another branch of the jury-bribing conspiracy, (y Bat little informatitni about Graham could be secured at tho oflice of lawyer A. S. Trudc, where Graham, has a desk. He had been then for the last twelvo or fourteen years and had lived in Chicago ever since the great lire. Lawyer A. B. Jenks paid Graham had never been admitted to the bar and had never practiced law. "Ho was simply a clerk." said he, "and he occu-. Sied a desk in Mr. Trude's reception-room, o, he has never been in trouble before, at least not to inv knowledge. I have nover heard that he was connected with any jury bribing, nor that he bad anv trouble with his family. Ho was tho last man that I should suspect of being concerned in this business. 1 don't think thev will rind anything against him. He has not been connected with the Cronln case in anv way, so far as I know." !his evening it was learned from tho State's attorney that tho clerk, Graham, is the supposed 'prominent citizen" whose mysterious continemeut in the Chicagoavenue and Larrabee-strect police station gave rise to so many surmises. Graham cave ?10,000 bond this evening, and was released. Jeremiah O'Donnell, the United States revenue ganger under arrest, also gave bail to-day, in 5,000, and was released irom custody. Said one of tho State's attorney's assistants to-day: "Bailiffs Salomon and Hanks and Tom Kavanaugh have agreed to tell all they know abont tho plot. We arc snro, therefore, of reaching tho head and front of tho conspiracy." Another startling rumor was to tho effect that John F. Ileggs had made a full confession, which had disclosed to view the jury-bribing plot in all its details. Judge McConnelPs court met at 2 p. m., but the proceedings werb uneventful. The work of securing a jury was resumed from the veniremen summoned by tho now bailiff appointed this morning. CONGRESSMAN STEELE INJURED.

Miss May Clyraer and Her Relatives A Pretty Carriage Cottuine The Trousseau. Washington Special in Philadelphia Press. As the time draws near for Miss Mary Clymcr's marriage to ex-Secretary Bayard all maters concerning her grow in interest. The trousseau is ordered entire from Paris, whero it is being attended to by Miss Clymers cousin, who married a French Viscount and lives there, it will be characterized by exquisite refinement rather than by a display of tho latest modes. Kare laces will be one of its features. Ono of the carriage and visiting gowns being prepared for her is thus described: A golden brown velvet, "en princesse." The bottom of the skirt has a deep hem with an open work insertion above it and a band of sable fur on tho lower edge. This gown is in one piece, without the ordinary waist forms and is shirred about the waist as high as tho bust to fit the figure. The waist fastens at the back. There is a shoulder cape of the velvet vith a hem and needlework like that on the skirt and a high fur collar. Miss Clymer's family has been socially conspicnous in Pennsylvania since the last century. The head of her branch was a signer of the declaration of Independence. Another branch proClymer, who was in duced Heister Congress for candidate for some years and a the vice-presidency. Ho Mary Clvmer. who was had a sister. famed for her extraordinary beauty, and who married Miss May Clymer's uncle, William B. Clymer. Mrs. Clymer's life was ended by a disaster which might also havo robbed Sir. Bayard of his prospective bride. She and her live children were on the illfated Pomerania, which went down olf the English coast in 1876. All were lost but two daughters; These daughters have never returned. One of them married a Scotch banker living in Florence, and the other is the French viscountess mentioned above. Mr. Bayard's fiance spent a great deal of timo with. these relatives, and by the merest concatenations of circumstances escaped going abroad .with them at that time. Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer, president of New York Sorosis, is a connection of tho future bride. She married Heister Clymer's brother Edward. HOW TO USE PERFUME. Sachets for Hosiery, Gloves and All Articles f of Woman's Dress. New York Mail and Express. "Years ago it was the 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 slnmber in beds of sweet grass and rose leaves; laces, wraps and underwear havo their separate sachet pillows; dresses are hung among the bags of sweet clover, which perfume every closet Even bounet-boxes emit fragrant odots when uncovered, and in the linings of many overcoats the wadding is dusted with orris, but not a trace of scent hangs about the sheer little square of lace-edged mull. The deficiency, however, is more than counterbalanced by faint, sweet odors which linger about the folds and hem of dress skirts. Even card-cases and pocketbooks are perfumed, and so is tho small blotter bought with fashionable stationery. "But these items are insignificant compared witfi the cost of perfuming a summer outfit, winch requires the services of a maid and an outlay equivalent to that expended for gloves and shoes. For instance, there is the corsage sachet, made of fine satin to match the dress, and filled with a perfume too delicious for description. Tho sacks, which are an inch square, retail at S9 a dozen, and it takes about twenty to round the edge of a Josephine dress. Of course every low corsage has to be eacheted and if a bolle cares to buy them by the hundred she is charged at the rate of 50 cents each. "Another perfume trick is to pour scent, over the hair just back of the crimps or frizzes. Every woman rubs the stopper of her scent bottle across her lips and eyebrows before leaving the mirror, and the habit of dousing a feather or satin fan with wild rose or blue-bells of Scotland is as old as vanity itself. I he pulled sleeves of tho hour are also used to sweeten a woman's presence, the essence of chypre. magnolia or jasmine being placed among the gathers at the elbow, where it is least liable to be detected aud most readily to bo perceived." Misplaced Congratulations. Detroit Tribune. In a whooping double-leaded editorial the third-party organ known as 'The Center" congratulates the Prohibitionists of North and South Dakota and tells them they have done nobly. Will the Center please tell us what the third-party vote was in those two States! Probably not as there is no third party in either. So tbe Center, after all, is congratulating and praising the anti-third-party Prohibitionists. This will never do. Haven't we been repeatedly told that all such are m league with the saloon and the devil. That's What the Trip Is For. Oil City Derrick. If the Pan-American Congress results in, nothing else it will send the delegates from the sister republics home with enlarged ideas of the united Statcsand increased respect for us as a Nation.

TEMPERANCE nilLOSOrilY. t Some Reminiscences of George Train About Drunkards. FrancU New York Snn. George Francis Train was seated in ono of the luxurious chairs in tho art gallery of the H oilman House recently on one evening. Ho leaned back, and brushinp the clustering gray locks from his forehead, saiG: There is an iron ring in tho floor of Had dam Hall, in England. It was tho custom ?hen tho ring was placet! in the iloor lor every man to chain his ilagon when called upon to do so. Should any ono refuse ho was fastened to the lloor by means of the ring, and tho liquor was poured down his throat. This fact, for I havo seen the rinc, is suggested by the drinking habit. My recollection of hard drinkers goes back many years," continued Mr. Train. "In lSSGTom Seymonr, a former minister from the United States to St. Tetersburg, Franklin Pierce and myself wero crossing tho ocean from England to this country. Pacing tho deck one evening in company with Pierce, the latter told mo of the con suming desire of a friend of his for whisky. Ho said that if this friend but tasted liquor once and saw another glass of tho stimulant on the other Bide of a molten stream of lava, so strong was his passion for it thai he would plungo in the stream and try to ' swim through the lire to reach it. I liave always had tho notion," said Mr. Train, "that Pierce was describing his own feelings. "I recall, also, that when tho senatorial excursion went to the Kocky mountains at. the completion of th Union Pacific railroad, Dick Yates was ono of tho company. He had the reputation at that time of being tho heaviest drinker in the country, ex cepting only George D. Prentice and Senator McDougaL At that time, however, Yates had been temperate for a long time. The day was excessively hot and sultry, and in an unguarded moment Dick drank a spoonful of brandy. Shortly afterward ho was missing. We found him next morning in a cattle pen, with nothing on but a shirt. "While coming down' the Missouri river from Omaha to St. Jo with Senator McDougal," continued Mr. Train, "tho bartender had been warned not to give tho Senator a drop of liquor. It was one of tbe most touching scents I ever saw when tho Senator tried to persuade the barieuder to give him a drink. The winning personality of the man was so great and his appeals piteous as he stood with his arms around the bartender's neck begging for liquor, that, "as far as nivself and the bartender were concerned, there was not a dry ej-o in tho house." Mr. Train was in a reminiscent mood, and he recalled another incident in his varied careen "At the timo I was making my Union speeches in England, I met many English, debaters. 1 succeeded in vanuuishiugevery one of my opponents until I ran across a gentleman named Gilchrist. He was drunk at the time, bnt his marvelous eloquence, prodigious memory, aud consummate skill as a debater ovciwhelnied me. I becarno much interested, and tried to save him. When I spoke to him of my desire for hi reformation, he held up the last soverigu : in his possession, which he had received lor an article in the London Times. Trying in vain to stan.d erect, he said: 'Sir, I would not forego tho luxury of this drunk for 1,(XX).W0!' h At this point Mr. Train rose and stretched himself, lie closed his remarks with tbo .following quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes: lis but the fool that loves excess! Ilnst thou a drunken oul! The ban in in tby shallow fekull, 2sot In my silver bowl. Boulanger in London Society. Pali Mali Gazette. A great many people have supposed, because he has not made a great nourish of trumpets every time he dined out,, that ho had ben neglected by London socictj': this , is far from being thecase. The General has done the ordinary round of the London season, dined with tho Prince of Wales, who would appreciate his qualities as he had not failed to appreciate all that was best in Gambetta, attended various smart parties, made his appearance at the Derby ami ai Ascot, appeared at a garden party at Marlborough houso to meet th Queen and the Shah, assisted at a meet of tne Coaching Club, dined at the best clubs, etc. The General found that he had received a great many more invitations than he coujd possibly accept, and is loud in hi: raises of tho sumptuous hospitality of the English aristocracy, who have done everything in tluir power to lighten his exile, and to enable him to leave Lngland with a good impression of his mother's, if not hii mother, country.
