The grand jury were called, sworn, charged
by Jiidge P.itlelseit, mid William C. needi
er, of .Manliehu tow iiship, was made foieiuiiu.
Alter instructing them in their duties hi Iho
usual manner, the court called attention te
the unusual number of rises en the tiial list,
237 in all en the new list, and nearly 10 old
cases from feimer courts. The number Ih
etraerdinaiy, though most or tlie cases are
et low grade. In regard te cempl iluls made
by constables and police eHlcers, Judge Pat
terson said Mint in general, where complaints
wero made in geed faith mid cm Mioeincors'
own view, the elllcets should net be held
llable for tlie costs, even when the cwh are
ignored. Hut it his licen said by the
prison lnspocteis and otheis that olll elll olll
cern are in the habit of making arrests
of large nunibers or persons, supposed te be
tramps, en the ground tliat they weie
drunken and disorderly, when in lad they
were perfectly sliei. If they were llable te
arrest nt all tfiey should have been nrtosted
and committed as tramps. It Is alsechamcd
that seme aldermen, Justices and constables
areln the haliit el uiging persons le make
cemplaliit en as'iuill ana iiiltery, surely ei
the peace and ether eaes, thus largely swell
ing the number of petty i-.Hi-s te Im) disposed
of by court. There is no way of retelling these
ease's eM'Oiit through the grand Jury, whose
duty It will lie te caiefully itiqufie Inte them
and if the cases hi ought belere tlie grand
jury nre unreunded, It isllieduty el thegraiid
Jury te Iguoie them and put tlie costs en the
prosecutors, even though the prosecutors be
constables.
The constables of the cily, lioreiighs and

Why C'urpiinilliiiis Should Nut lle Alliniid le
M'nlrrTliilr Ciiiitul.
rieinthe IsTKLtiuEKira, April i-1, lsl.
The capital or.iread should rotiresent Its
artual cost, and should net carry in its belly
an undue prellt te a coutracler who builds
it, or te tlie projector who put it afoot. These
men may he entitled te be paid for their idea
and the energy Willi which they secure its
fiultien; but their compensation should net
be a secret one. Thore should be no Imposi
tion practiced iixm the public, The read
should net be held out as costing what it li.ts
net cost. Tliose who lend money en its
bends Willi the heller Hi it they have the
security or the paid-up stock behind them
should have the security in I.ict. If all the
money that is te build the read is te be ob
tained en the bends nlelic, that lad should he
known te the subsci Ibers. This is but com
men henisty. The read may, when built, be
weilh all It Is capitalized at, hut that is no
leaseu why It should be falsely stated that it
has cost tlie amount of Its capital.
Hut the state is even niore intaicsted In
protecting tliose who nre te U'e the railroad
than these who lend It their money or Invest
In its sleck. It is te tlie Interest of the state
that trausiiertatlnn should be as cheap as
possible. Freight charges are n very great
element In the cost of every article eY com
merce. The cheaper tlie cost of carrying the
farmer's grain te market, tlie greater will be
the sum he realizes from its sales; and the
cheaper the cost te the iiianur.ieluicr of the
c.irriage of his materials and pieduit, the
cheaper he (Mil make them, and the greater,
thetefere, will be the number of factories in
n state tliat duly pietects its Industry lrem
undue tax by the common cirrier.
New is the tlme ler tlie legislature te con
sider this matter. The constitution declares
that every corporation shall give value for Its
stock and bends In labor, iu.iteii.its or money.
Hut this mandate needs te bu fei mulated in a
law which shall secure lis execution accord
ing le its spirit. It will boa diillcult one
I frhap4 te Iramc, se many nre tlie ways In
which a i.ilse statement may be made or cost,
ami se great ale the Inducements te make it.
Hut it needs te lie framed w ilheut delay. A
great railroad is projected across our state as
a rival te the Pennslv.mia. It will be wel
comed ; but te be of due benclit te the state it
must net be permitted te Issue stock or Unids
abeve its actual cost. Tlie .Senate has Just lo le
pealed the limitation ukhi railroad cipllali cipllali
itlenin its behall and Ukiii the statement
that It could net build and equip the line it
wants te lay, as a preK r rival ler Its great
competitor, iur the sio,eoo per mlle te which
tlie general railroad law limits tlie stock and
bends or railroads built under it. f 120,000 is
a great deal el meiiqy te expend per mlle en
three huudrid miles or r.ulie'el. Tlie Intent
efMr. Vanderlult may be te level the moun
tains and makoagiade as level its a race
course. The great estlm iti-d cost of his read
indicates such puipose, as the rails, cress ties
and fastenings ler it mlle of double track
railroad, siuJi as the Pennsylvania, w ill net
cost hftcen thousand dollars per mile.
II the money he spends is honestly and
judiciously 1 ml out uixiti the work, the state
call have no oljntieu te his sjmnding as
much as lie pleases. Hut it need te secure
this assurance and te provide a sullldcnt
guarantee that the jsjople el the stite will net
be called upon le lurnbdi dividends en any
watered stock. Mr. Vanderbilt's father made
many of his millions by watering tlie stock
or the New Yerk railroads which he con
trolled. We want no such essay by the son
in Pennsylvatil.i. Preliably he intends none;
but nevertheless ll is the duty et the legisla
ture te see that none Is khsiIj1c.

wero startled by an explosion which shook

when the suioke cleared away It
wits found that the entlre for w aid

been badly damaged unit a number of p.isson p.issen
