In the week, was sentenced te pay a fiue of

resented that he was about te start a
shoe factory at Seuth Queen and Vine
streets, with J. Hay Brown, esq., as a part

for a machine for his house, saying he In
tended te get married. On the strength of
the representations made tbe macbine was
given te him. Dungan disposed of it,
pocketed the proceeds and skipped.

as be represented aud such being his Inten
tion be could net be convicted or falae pre
tense. Jury out when court adjourned.
Jehn Alttnatt was indicted for malicious
mischief, en the complaint of Frank S.
Faegley. The commonwealth showed
that Faogley routed a stable en North
Prince street te defendant and the accused
tore down a beard fence, which bad been
erected near tbe stable.
The defence was that whlle Altman was
away from the place Frank Foegley had
this fence erected, thus barring bis en
trance te the stable and in order te cot In
Altman had te take down one panel of the
fence te get te It and that the right te erect
the same was given by the prosecutor's
father. At this stage of the case the dis
trict atterney abandoned the prosecution
and a verdict of net guilty was entered.

charging the jurors the court thanked thorn
for ritithfully discharging tbe duties, after
which Judge Livingston reviewed the
work or the week, lie said the cases
against 101 or the 110 persons returned had
lieen disposed of, and agalust some of the
defendants there were two, three and as
blgh as four indictments. Tbe grand in
quest had Ignored about 00 bills, which
would Indicate that many frivolous cases
had been returned by magistrates and us us
tlces. Se long, the judge raid, as peeple
elect magistrates whose whole aim is te
make all the costs possible, the taxpayers
will suffer, Tbe saving annually te the
taxpayers of the county would be many
thousand dollars if the voters were mero
judicious In the selection of magistrates.
The court favored and belleved that great
expense would be saved li tne Legislature
would pass a law autherising a special
wheel for grand Jurers. Fer that duty men
specially adapted could be selected, time
would be saved and the expense of crim
inal courts would be lower than they new

TUE GRAND JURY REPORT.
TUt Practlcei or Magistrates Punning
Case Soveroly Deuounced,
Following is tbe report of Iho grand in
quest :
Te the JTonera'ile (I t Jjtlgtt the (Xurt of
Quarter txtiimt vj the 1'eace vj the County e
Zaneatter: -
The grand Inquest of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, Impanelled te Inquire
Inte and for said county, at April soileus
1890, respectfully report :
The district atterney placed In our hands
167 bills of indlctments, or which OS were
returned as true bills, 03 Ignored and 4
returned te the district attorney net acted
en for want of all the witnesses. Many of
the cases were or small Importance, 'ery
trivial, and should net have been returned
te court and thereby saving the county
much unnecessary expense. The grand
Inquest condemns the returning of a
large number of indictments for
one offense, where one Indict me it
would have btM sufficient te mete out the
proper punishment te the offender. We
alto condemn the summoning of an un
necessary Bember of witnesses that knew
nothing about the cam whatever.whe seem
only subpoenaed for tbe purpose of Increas
ing the feea of tbe magistrate who cemmlta
and tbe constable who makes the arrests.
The fcet that some persons have
been Induced by officers te bring
ulta against parties for trivial offences
was very clearly shown te the Inquest,
when upon their solemn oath they declared
that they knew nothing about the case, and
knew net what they were doing when
they signed the complaint, and that no un
friendly feeling existed between prosecu
tor and defendant. Seemingly such eases
re only brought and returned te court by
the magistrates for the purpose of drawing
fees from the treasury of the county which
tbe taxable cltlcens unjustly pay. A halt
te this mode of proceedings Is respectfully
recommended by the Inquest.
The Inquest noticed with their disap
proval tbe fact that tbe basement of the
court beuse Is used for the storage of paper,
boxes snd ether combustible matter en
dangering the building In case of fire and
recommended that the same be cleared
without delay.
We have visited the public Institutions
of tbe county, found the prison In geed
condition, tbe cells clean aud things well
managed, much te tbe credit of Keeper
Smith and his assistants. We found the
total number of inmates te be 122; convicts
and trial prisoners, 102; drunk and dis
orderly, 20; carpet en hand, 2,2011 yards.
faeture of carpets In tbe prison be encour
aged, their stock being reduced very much.
The statistics show ss fellows :

We also recemmend that washing ma
chines be provided for the Institution ; that
gates be put te the front yards of the build
ing, te be kept open during proper hours
of the day, and suitable benches placed
under the trees in order that citizens may
use the grounds as a place of resort and
recreation, and that an additional number
of trees be planted.
In the almshouse we found 144 males, 41
females and 3 children, total IBS. In tbe
hospital we fnuud 55 males, 30 females
aud 3 children; total 88. In the in
sane department we found 42 males and
30 females; total 72. In the colerod
department there are 3 male, 5 female
adults and two children, total 10, making
the whele number In the county Institu
tions 338. There are besldes the above,
supported by the county, in ether Insti
tutions, viz; Uarrlsburg insane asylum,
44 ; Elwyn Institutions for feebie minded
children, and children bearding In private
families, between the age of 2 and 3 year,
13, making a grand total of 418 supported
by the county. Tbe stock en the farm con
sists of 4 mules, 4 horses, 16 cows, 1 bull
and 22 hogs Toe much praise cannot be
given te Goe. E. Worst, the superintendent,
and the beard of directors, for tbe very
geed condition in which these institutions
are kept, making the unfortunate Inmates
as comfortable as under the circumstances
can be dene. We would recommend that
the lets fronting the almshouse and hospital
new under cultivation be put Inte sod and
planted with suitable trees.
We also visited the Heme for Friendless
Children and found the entire number of
Inmates, OS ; boys 70, girls, 35, or whom 10
are colored boys and 5 colored girls. It Is
Indeed gratifying te knew that such an In
stitution exists where friendless children
are received, cared for, educated mentally
and morally te become useful citizens.
This institution as conducted is indeed an
honor te our cenutv. The matron. Mrs. S.
Kieffer, seems te the preper person for the
place. We heartily recommend the home
te favorable consideration of our peeple
and the honorable court.
The grand inquest return their thanks
te the honorable court, the district attor
ney, the sheriff and ether court house
official and the officers of the public Instl Instl
stutiens for their polite attention shown us
whlle in the discharge of our duties.

In discharging the grand inquest Judge
Livingston said he was pleased with the
reKrt of the grand Inquest. It was the
most sensible and thorough report tiled in
years. This grand Jury was prompt and
careful In tbe discbarge of their duties.
The court heartily concurred in the
recommendation of the grand Inquest as te
the storage of Inflaramable material in the
cellar of the court house. "There is no
reason why this part of the public building
should be used as a stere house, and the
attention of the commissioners will be
called te the matter at ence.
" This complaint about magistrates and
constables farming their offices the ceuit
has referred te for years. The remedy Is
net With the court but with yourselves,
and as long as you elect that sort or people
you will have that kind or business. Mag
istrates de net de what they used te de
years age. Then, If a party wanted te make
u complaint, the magistrate would inquire
whether there was prebable cause for the
issuing of a warrant. New as seen as a
suitor appeals the magistrate takes the com
plaint aud Inquires at the hearing whether
there is anything in tbe case. These
officials appear new te consider tberaselves
elected te make out of the office as much
as K)ssthle." The court honed that tbe peo pee pee
peo would take held of this matter and in
the future elect geed men te these offices.
The court in conclusion said It concurred
with what the grand Jury said about thn
almshouse, hospital and public buildings,
all of which are well managed.

LANCASTER,
FARMER AROUSED.
State Chairman- Andrews Has Stirred
Vp Grangers In Crawford Cennty.
Frem the Pittsburg Dispatch, Ind. lUp.
A MeadvlUe correspondent who, by the
way, is one of the leaders of the farmers'
movement, writes as fellows of the raw
element In Crawford county politics :
' The organ of Chairman Andrews, of
the state Republican committee, attempts
te Ignore the fsrtnsrs movement, which
began last week as a whlrlwlud in Mr.
Culbertaen district, but which may develop
into a cyclone In November. The list of
names published last week In the iYnmyf
vania Fanner includes tee many of the
rank and file of the majority te allow the
Andrews organ te take any risk In
opposition te what. If developed,
means defeat at home te the An
drews pregramme. Twe years age the
County Q range addressed a letter te each
candidate for the Legislature, asking
definite statements as te their action, In
case or election, en certain measures for the
teller of farmers. Mr. Andrews, with tbe
ether candidates, answered favorably, but
he ignored bis premises and the class te
whom they were inade. This movement
mesne death te his aspirations te the state
Senate, and his course is fast dlvertlng.the
supporters or Mr. Delsmatcr and arraying
a formidable opposition in Mr. Delamater'a
own county. There Is a class of farmers
here who demand representatives from
their own class, and there Is likely te be
lively times In the Twenty-sixth district
this fall. A new iielittcal pet Is certainly
beginning te boil, and sotne of the old
campaigners will certainly be left In the
soup."
Delamater Net In Faver.
A Montgomery county correspondent of
the Philadelphia Inquirer writes :
The newspapers of Philadelphia seem te
be under the Delamater Inftuence te an ex
tent that Is unaoceuntablo te the plain
peeple of tbe country districts. Tbsy
would make us believe that Hastings has
no held upon the affections of the voters of
the state. Well, as far as Montgemory
county Is concerned, one of the two mem
bers is employed as a clerk at Uarrlsburg
and resides there, and It is said talks for
Delamater te peeple at a distance, but he
knows nothing or the sentiment or our
citizens.
Let the truth be known new: That the
farmers of Pennsylvania are solid and
unanimous In their opposition teDelamater,
and the majority or them will net support
htm even It nominated. Head the Uran
gen' Journal. That tbe honest political
statesmen or the state, who knew that the
present Delamater leaders or the politicians
premised Mouteoth te support him for
governor this year (in compensation for de
serting blin for lieutenant-governor four
years age,) are opposed te Delamater and
will fight him te death. Stene will stene
him, Davies will down blm and McCor McCer
tnlck cover him up.
Delamater is net first In the race te-day.
Hastings is ahead, but Monteoth llke Gar
field at Chicago, who beat Blaine and
Grant for president, although he hed only
ene vote for several days of balloting
stands a much better chance for the nomi
nation than Delamater.
Yeu name thlrty-one districts giving
rertv-three delegates te Delamater, twolve
te Hastings, live te Osberne, threo te Da
vies, three te Stene, and three te McCor McCer
mlck. There may bn errors In your count In
the ether sections of the state as there cer
tainly is in your classification of the threo
delegates from Bucks, who will net dare
te vote for Delamater; but 'if they de, in
deflance or the sentiment there, Bucks will
be geed for 3.000 Democratic majority. Ask
the Intelligencer, of Doylcstewn. But
Philadelphia and Allegheny alone over
whelm this vete. Then, why allow such
stuff te go out te the penpleT But the Phil
adelphia papers will net publish auything
unless it is colored te suit the declalmers
of the Delamater diversity. Delamater has
perhaps 40 out of 230, and this Is all, and he
has been at work a year or mere with the
machine te get these.

TUB ATKINSONS FAIL.
Executions for Over SSO.OOO Kntored
Against Philadelphia Watch Dealers.
Executions aggregating 930,080 were
Issued en Friday In Philadelphia against
Atkinson Bres,, wholesale dealers In
watches and jewelry, Ne. 031 Chestnut
street, that city. Wm. J. Atkinson said a
portion of the Judgments were endorse
ments of the Keystene Watch Club com
pany and executions were Issued as the
result of tbe assignment of the Keystone
Standard Watch company.
The Philadelphia iVew says; A mem
ber of the firm of Atkinson Brethers,
when asked what statement tbe firm had
te make, said that his mouth was sealed.
He said, hewever, that he hoped the
trouble would blew ever, declared that tbe
entire matter was due te tbe misfortunes
of the watch club company snd ssld thst If
that company should eventually show that
It wss solvent the firm of Atkinson Bres,
would be en their feet again. Lawyer
Savldge, who entered the jttdgmenta In
behalf or Hamilton A Hamilton, jr., said
thst the failure or the Arm would depend
entirely upon the future of the watch club
company. It was Impossible te learn last
night what the entire liabilities of Atkin
son Brethers would be, A man In a posi
tion te knew what he was talking about,
said he did net think the firm could
answer that question. The assets of course,
consists Iu the possibility or the watch club
company getting en Its feet again.
Tbe ability of tbe watch club company te
reoevor is still entirely problematical.
Financial quarters have been full of stories
for several days ss te hew doeply the com
pany is Involved. It was stated last night
by a bank director who has had occasion,
as have many ether bank directors te make
an examination of the affair ofthe concern,
that a number of wealthy men are in very
doep. One is the endorser en paper, ha
said, te the amount or 9125,000. Anether,
who has been regarded us a particularly
shrewd business man, has endorsed paper
en about the same figure. Anether mail Is
rcsponslhle as a stockholder and an en
darner of paper for 900,000. This would
make three men In this town liable, should
the courts se decide, for 9210,000.
The (inn of Atkinson Bres, has been es
tablished since lte'2. It consists of William
J., Goergn-H. and II. L. Atkinson. They
are all young men. Thoeldost, William J.,
worked with a watchmaker for a year and
a half. The ether brethers were telegraph
oKraters. The practical watchmaking ex
perience when they started In buslness at
102 Nerm Hocenu street consisted or wif
Ham's olghteen months in a lowelor's shop.
Slnce then ene or the brothers has spent
sotne tlme In tbe works or the Waltiiain
Watch ceiiitMiiiv. William is about 80
years old, Geergo about 27, and It. L, be
tween 23 and 21. The young men wero all
enorgctie and they made great advance In
thelr business. They started a branch
stere in Baltimore, which was abandoned
In 1880. They meved from the Second
stroet stere te the soceud fleer of 820 Chest
nut street, and thencowent te 0.11 Chestnut
street, wbore they are new located.
The firm did a "watch club" buslness,
but sold It out te the Watch Club ceniany,
which was lncorteratcd, and the firm took
a certaln Interest In it. Storles are told of
the fabulous profits of this "club" system.
The works came from the Standard Key Key
steue company; of Lancaster. Tbe rases
came from the Essex Watch Cese com
pany, of Newark, N. J., The firm bought
the works from the Lancaster company
and the cases from the Newark company,
put the watches together and turned them
evor te the club company. Iu ether
'words, Atkinson Bres, wero thn middle
men. A watch which the club
company would get 9i:l for at retail
would net that company a profit
of Mi and would net Atkinson
Bres, a profit or between 97 aud 98. The
profits wero, or course, enormous and the
only explanation given outsldeorthat made
In the bill In equity (Hed is this, wbieh Is
made by frlends of the Atkinsons : The
Lancaster company overtt'wked the firm
of Atkinson Brethers and the Watch Club
company with watches. In hwt O.teher
the Lancaster company's receipts amounted
te $7,600. In November they wero 98,000.
Last months the books showed an
apparent profit of 911,000. Atkinson
Brethors hud an agroemont te take
the en tire product of the Lancaster com
pany. The Watch Club company had a
similar contract with Atkinson Brethers.
They get mero watches than they could
soil and consequently mero than they
could pay for. The Watch Club company
gave its paper te Atkinson Brethers in pay pay
ment for goods, and this was indorsed by
the Atkinson Brethers and given te the
Lancaster company. The wutches could
net be sold and the crash came. This does
net explain hew the Wutch Club company
has run se far behind.
The joint paper of the Watch Club com cem
nanv and of Atkinson Brethors soeins te
te have been hawked about far and wide
latclv. Hew se much or It came te be held
by Mr. Halnes, the bauker, of Rising Sun,
Aid.,
Is net explained.
Whlle Atkinson Brethers have been
regarded as very onergetlo business men
they have net been given any rating what
ever by the commercial agencies for a long
tlme. They claimed some time age te be
worth S30.000. but their ratinir was taken
away because of the constant disputes and
contested claims in which they figured.
