THE PITTSBURG-' DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY THE ACTUAL ABUSES Thai Exist in the Present Grand Jury System of Soldiering. AN OFFICIAL OX THE JUDGE'S ACT. He and Judge Fetterman Think the Junk eting Job an Unqualified Evil. WHY SOT FIXD 40 OB 50 BILLS A DAT The sudden discharge of the grand jury by Judge Collier was commented on var iously yesterday, but, by a large majority of the rank and file of the people, and manv officials also, favorably to the Judge. A (.pecimen was given by a public man, who said: "You must not use my name, as I cannot afford to quarrel with some of the people interested on the wrong side. "In the first place, the grand jury is an institution which the people would not like to have abolished, for it is a useful one, it properly managed, but, of late years, every one who knows anything about it knows that some matters connected with it have been infamously managed. "In the first place, the grand jury is drawn with the petit jury. The Judges have a right to choose one-third of the jurors, and sometimes they exercise it and at others they do not. The Jury Commis sioners are elected by the people, and they only get 52 a day for their services. They must make a canvass, and that costs money, and in the prosecution thereof they neces sarily fall under obligations to politicians. It may be said that candidates have no busi ness to allow politicians to get a pull on them, but we must look at the state of affairs AS AVE FIND IT. "There should be some other method of se curing jurors, and I think Judge Collier's action will stimulate and expedite it. If the Commissioners were appointed py the Court, the Judges sense of responsibility would be almost certain to work out better results, and then the Commissioners would be responsible to the Court. The improve ment would come at once. "Were it not that it might be held to be in conflict with the spirit of our institutions. I would suggest that the grand jury shauld be drawn separ ately from the petit jury and only men worth 510,000, or some other amount, be al lowed to serve. Of course such a proposi tion would raise a deafening howl of rage, and would really discriminate against many worthy poor men; but it would at least keep bummers off. "In this connection it is notamiss to state that in Philadelphia, where the method of drawing jurors is the same as here, the grand jury disposes of an average of 40 to60 cases a day, and years ago the same celerity was expected and realized here. Often the jury made an average of 60 to 70 cases a day. "Another custom has grown up that should be abolish promptly, that of the grand jury visiting public institutions. It is not authorized by law, and is an evil pure and simple. THESE JUNKETING TBirS accomplishing nothing more than the feasting of a score or two ot men periodi cally. If there is anything crooked in the management of an institution, an expected visit of inquisitors accomplishes nothing in the way of discovery. It simply admon ishes recusants to sweep the dirt behind the doors for a few weeks until the grand jury has adjourned." If the name of this gentleman could be riven it would invest the statement with more than ordinary interest, as he is one T ho can speak ex-cathedra. An attempt was made to get an expression of opinion from Judge Fetterman; but be was wary as to the main tacts in the "in dictment" as manv people choose to call it; but as to the junket he wos'dntepoken.' Said he. "There is no excuse whatever for that, Bare 52 50 and a good dinner at the expense of the county per head for the visitors. The grand jury in the infancy ot the custom merely visited the County Home. After ward the penitentiary was added to the list, and then one institution after another until it has grown into an abuse for which there is no law At first the Home was visited but once a year. By and by it came about twice a year, finally quarterly, and now many people have grown to think it a part of the grand jury's function." It will be seen that these visits cost the county in salary alone some 51,200 a year beside the cost of the dinners, and, esti mating that at 50 cents a plate, which seems to be quite reasonable, adds $300 a year more, so that if Judce Collier's example is followed by his brethren the county will be saved 1,500 annually.

The Wyllo Avenue Colored Church Offered to the Central Traction Company A Power Honse May be Built There. The trustees of the old colored church on Wyhe avenue, near Tunnel street, have offered the sale of the church property and ground to the Central Traction Railway Company. The price asked is $20,000. The officials of the company now have the offer, under consideration. If the company purchases the property they will raze the church and erect a magnificent power house on the site It is very probable that the power house will be located at this point, or else on some other lot between Tunnel and High streets. It will be necessary to have two power houses on the line; one at the foot of the hill, 'near Tunnel street, to run the cars from there to Market street at a slower rate of jpeed than east of Tunnel street, and the other house will probably be where the stables now stand. The company owns a large tract of land, bounded by Herron avenue, Thirty-third and Madison streets, and as they have plenty of ground there, they will probably build the largest power house on this site. The only objection to the, purchase of the church property is the fact that it stands right over the Panhandle tunnel, and has always been considered very unsafe. Owing to the passage of heavy trains in the tunnel the foundations in some of the oldest houses over it have become loosened, causing the walls to crack and settle Particularly was this the case with the house owned by George Glass at the northwest corner of Tunnel street. If the power house is erected on the site of the church, the heavy cable machinery will necessitate the setting of extra founda tion walls. The question whether the cable cars will be run out "Wvlie avenue, instead of Center avenue, has not yet been settled. It is) thought that it will be necessary to secure permission from Councils to allow the lay ing of tracks on "Wylie avenue, if the latter is decided upon. The work of constructing the line will be started early in the spring. WHY THEI RECOMMEND IT. Finance Committee Reason to Make Alle gheny Second Class. The report of the Finance Committee on the subject of a new charter for Allegheny was submitted to the Councils last night. It is a strong argument in favor of making the city second dass. Messrs. Shiras and Watson were consulted, but they agreed with the opinion of the City Solicitor. The committee points out certain evils in the legislative act pending for the govern ment of cities of the third class, as follows: First, the Mayor would appoint all the offi cers by ordinance except the City Clerk and Solicitor, and would have almost absolute control of the city's finances; second, the city would go back to the old system of ward collectors to gather the delinquent taxes; third, all public improvements of great moment would depend on the pay ment of assessments by the property holders directly affected, while the street and sewer laws would be defective. In a second class city the government would be divided between the heads of three departments, and the present charter would remain Intact, except where modified by the act of 1887. The committee claims that the police magistrates would earn their salaries from the lees collected. No homeis complete without Parker's Ginger Tonic, needed for every weakness.
