To the Honorable the Judges of Quar ter Sessions of the Peace in and for the County of Elk, January Sessions, 1879 .- The Grand Inquest of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, Inquiring for the County of Elk, in all matters re lating to the same, do respectfully re port : That they have acted upon six bills of Indictment of which four were found true bills. We beg leave further to report: That we have visited and inspected the county buildings and find, 1st, That the jail Is cleau and teems prop erly kept, that the prisoners are sup plied with wholesome and proper food, properly prepared. The jail building is of " the olden time," small, ceiling low, poorly ventilated, or not venti lated at all, the number of rooms are insufficient and insecure for the keep ing of prisoners, as the several recent escapee sufficiently proved. We further report that the court house roof is represented to us as so rotten that it cannot be repaired ex cept by a new roof. We think the court room unsuitable in size and ar rangement for the business of the county, and the almost total want ofi Ventilation Is seriously detrimental Mi the health of the court, the jurors am) the bar. The jury rooms are without ventilation. The one set apart for the Grand Inquest is too small, neither of the rooms have any seats except flat board benches, without backs with only three or four chairs. We respect fully present that It Is unreasonable to call men front their homes to attend to the business of the public, keeping them for bout's Ht a time, and often from day to day; Without providing them with reasonably comfortable seats. We do not hsk for Upholstered chairs, or velvet lounges, but we do ask that In this day of Improvements, those who succeett us. in the Jury rooms be provided with comfortable chairs, and we respectfully present that the court house building as a whole Is unsuitable for Its purposes, that it is not wise economy to repair, that the county being Out of debt, aud haVing a satisfactory surplus of assets, and money lit Its treasury, with the low price of later rind building ma terial, It is a measure of prudence nnd economy to replace these structures with new buildings, not costly and mammoth structures but with sub stantial and comfortable buildings. We respectfully tender our thanks to the Honorable Judges and District Attorney for their courtesy and assis tance rendered us during our delibera tions. A. B. PRESTON, Foreman. ELECTION COfTf EST. In the matter of th5 contested elec tion for Representative in Congress, of the Twentieth district of Pennsylva nia, upon the petitions of Seth H. Yocum, the Court made the following order: "January 28th, 1879. On hear Ing the foregoing petition, It Is ordered and directed that the persons In whose possession or custody the ballot boxes were placed, containing the tickets, list of voters and. other papers of the lost general election, shall keep the same to answer the call of any court or tribunal authorized to try the merits of the contested election for Congress, or take the evidence lu relation to the same." Mrs Peter Kennedy, whose death we noticed in flur last issue, was in her 97th yeur, and was In many re spects a remarkable woman. She had been married three times, Peter Ken nedy, her third husband, she married in her C7th year, and at the time there was not a grey hair in her head. Peter was then forty years old. Her first husband died tin the voyage across the ocean from Ireland, niid nfter a few years of single life she was married to u Cunningham, father of Mrs. Cun ningham of this place, by whom she had two children, one a boy, dying in infancy. For a woman of her years she was remafk-abiy active, only being in bed about two Weeks in her lust Ill ness. Washington Letter- From our regular correspondent. Washington, D. C, February 3, 1S70. One of the things that agitates Con gtess at every session, and stirs up the minds of our lawyers, and nearly evsry body else In and about Wash ington, is the famous McGarrahan claim. The Judiciary Committee and Public Laud Committee of both House and Senate have each In turn wrestled with it und both Houses now have it before them, with a faint prospect of getting it out of the way forever. William MeGurraban is the owner of apiece of land in California, which he purchased of a grantee of the Mexican government. His title to this land, in all that constitutes evidence of owner ship, is perfect, nnd so, in numberless Instances, has been pronounced. Be tween him and his patent there stands a single tech nical obstacle: A clerical omission by a copyist in the Land Office whether accidental or fraudu lentis unknown a merely formal, not a substantial defect. Operating against McGarrahan, is a rich corporation known as the New Idria Quicksilver Mining Company, which has fought and harried the poor;lrishman with the money it had made out of a quick silver mine on the premises. This company is not known to the Land Office records, &nd nobody knows how it acquired the shadow of a title to the Eroperty in question. If it does not elong to McGarrahan it belongs to the United States ; yet the manner in which the company has mantained its tight is but another illustration of the unjust power of wealthy corj)orations. With the large profits which right fully belongs to the man it is con spiring to rob, it bribes officials, per suades members of Congress, suborns perjuries, rewards forgeries, und sub sidizes newspapers to create public sentiment, and slander and ridicule turn whom it has determined to de stroy. It Is the quicksilver of the New Idria company, secretly adminis tered to persons of power and influence, that puts in jeopurdy the rights of the proprietor, and prompts the efforts in innumerable ways to defame his char acter, becloud his title, immerse him In an ocean of expenses, nnd divest him of his estate. A report has Just been made in the Senate which may iwssibly effect a settlement of the case, t assumes that the title to the nro- perty is in the Government, aud offers a bill referring the whole controversy to the courts, by authoriziug the claimant to bring suit against the United States in the Court of Claims, with power to anneal to the Supreme Court This is similar to the procedure in me case or tue not Springs, property. If the final decision is in favor of the United suites, the court is to order the property into the hands of a receiver until Congress directs what shall be done with it- This would seem a fair disposition of the case, but for the well Known delays of the courts which win give the company plenty of time to add to tlieir ill-gotten gains, and by the use of them an unfair advantage in the litigation. And now we have a congressman from Michigan, which his name it is Elll8worth, who thinks he can stop the flow of llouor in Washington. He might as well undertake to stop the flow tif the Potomac River. But he has introduced his little bill. Some time ago he summoned the keeper of the House restaurant and asked him if he was selling beer, wine and HquoW, in th fnnltai TIia nhHWPl1 Was In the affirmative, accompanied with the information that It was only sold to Congressmen) aud that a majority of mem were witn mm. i ms is prooa- oiy the truth and Just wnas im its worth Is going to do about It I dttn't see. There is Already a very stringent rule banishing nil drinks of a boozy nature from the building, and Speaker Ran- nau una stated once or twice mat lie intended to son It enforced. But what's the use? If It Is kept nut of the restaurant It goes into the com mlttee fotlms. for Congressmen will have their tipple. For a time there was none on sale on the House side, but the Stsnste caterer kept it, and it was Intcrestlnir to see the pairs of Con gressmen lock arms and walk over to the Seriate Side about every fifteen minutes. Now all they have to do Is to bo down stairs and ask for cold tea. If a stratlger goes in and orders a cup ot tea ine waiter iooks at nun snarpiy to see whether he tips the masonic wink sb I think it Is a mistake alwut the saleof drinks being confined strict ly to Congressmen. If the honerable member wants beer or ale he asks for a pitcher of milk and the beverage Is brought in a little sliver pitcner noid ine lust a bottle of beef. A bill has baen introduced In the House to regulate the charges of the Pullman Palace and Car Companies and other sleeping cars patented by the United States. It certainly ought to pass. If there Is ny one monopoly more thnn another in this country that needs regulating It is the Pullman Palace and SlWriliig Car Company. A good room with all conveniences at tached, and an excellent breakfast in the morning, can be obtained at the very best hotels In the United States for What Is exacted by this monopoly for a narrow contracted bunk in a nasty Ill-ventilated car. At most hotels these accommodations cost but half the sleepirigtat charge, and when time is not the consideration health and comfort are served by stnppiug over Few can enjoy a good night's rest in the sleepers, nnd fewer still es cape them without bad colds or some thing worse, for the luxury of which one don't like to pay a round price. The bill proves that it shall be un lawful to charge more than one dollar for tlie use of the Palace Car by one person for twertty-fbtir hours, under a penalty of S500 to $5,000. The new Pension bill Which has now become a law, does not extend the benefits to any one not heretofore entitled to them, but it removes the five years limitation, nndenublet those who have neglected their clailns to come In and get what others no more deserving have already secured. It also dates back to the day of death or discharge all existing pensions. It is estimated that ovsr thirty millions of dollars will be disbursed the present year on account of the law, and as the money goes mainly to the poor people who need it and will circulate It, some benefit to business may be realized. Claim Agents will not be recognizee! by the Pension Bureau in the disburse ment of dues under this law. Don Pkmio. A Monthly Royal Scrap Bcok. The most Intelligent readers have Scrap Books for preserving the choicest articles clipped from time to time from newspapers, magazines, and j books. These collections, although comparatively very small, arc often esteemed of more value than many liooks, because they embrace only the most precious gems gathered from large fields of literature. If several persons of culture nnd experience, who are especially adapted- for making these selections, should submit the results of their lalmrs to a competent editor tr classify and arrange into de partments embracing every variety of des'iraablo household reading, nnd if this matter thus affatigcd and classi fied, should be printed in book form, we should have something like each number of Wood's itcvschold Magazine, which con tallies one hundred large pages. Tills Magazine is designed to be a Monthly Royal Scrap Book of the cream of the world's literature. The February Number on our table, being the second number of the sixteenth volume, embodies a feast of literary gems suited to the tastes of all readers, and Its articles breathe a spirit of economy, morality and virtue which is highly refreshing in this age of fashionable folly and ex travlgance. No family can afford to do without it. The subscription price is $2 per year. Sample copy will be mailed on receipt of only 10 cents. Address, S. S. WOOD, Tribune Building, New York City.
