THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1900. GRAND JURY AND THE MAGISTRATES itDERMEN AMD JUSTICES AC CUSED OF STEALING. Transcripts of Trivial Cases Fur posely Made Defective The Bill Is Ignored and the County Fays the Costs In Order to Check This Steal the Jury Placed the Costs on the Frosecutor in Every Suspicious Case Prosecutors Subpoenaed in Cases They Ordered Discontinued. Last week's Brand Jury cstubllshcJ a precedent which will doubtless ba followed quite generally by Its prede cessors. It Is that of plui'ltig on th prosecutors the costs In cases that are Ignored because of defective tran scripts. Over 150 of tho bills Ignored last week were for this cause, and In al most every Instance the Jury put tho costs on the prosecutor, Instead of on the county, as s customary. The pur pose of this Is to check a steal which unscrupulous magistrates have been practicing. In Its final report, filed Saturday, the Jury unhesitatingly says that many of these defective transcripts are due to neither carelessness nor Ig norance. A member of the Jury later on speaking to a Tribune reporter sild It was the positive belief of all the Jurymen that magistrates sent In de fective transcripts knowing them to be defective and that they would bo Ignored. Their Hole purpose was to pile up a bill of costs, the greater pirt of which would be made up of thelr'3 and their constables's costs. Tlu"ee costs, they figured, would be placed n't. the county, and all that would bo nr: cssary to do would be to go to th'j county commissioners' office and draw them. CRIED A HALT. The grand Jury, however, put a halt on this little game by placing the costs on the prosecutor. The alderman, con stable and witnesses must now got their fees out of the prosecutor. If they get them at all. The prospcutor, of course, can saddle the costs on the county by declaring himself an Insol vent, but, as this would necessitate his transferring all his property, pay ing a lawyer to piesent and argue his petition and settling a lot of prothono tary's fees, It Is a question If, In the long run, the prosecutor will not pre fer to pay the costs In the Ignored cas There were a number of Instances during the week of prosecutors de claring before the grand Jury that the transcripts were sent In against their wishes. In some cases the prosecutor had supposed the case was discontin ued and only learned to tho contrary upon being subpoenaed before the. grand Jury. The final return contained thirty-four true and one hundred and eighty-nine ignored bills. The true bills were as follows: THE THUE HILLS. Arson Wllll.im Williams; Fred Kecler, pros.

An exceedingly larga number of dwellings were erected In this part of the city. Mr. Jackson Is Inclined to be rather dubious over the outlook for the com ing year, on account of the unsettled relations now existing between em ployers and employes In tho building trudes. This, he believes, will cause a slump In the building trade. He states that he Is having just us much difficulty as ever In forcing con tractors .to obtain building permits be fore work on a building Is commenced, despite the decision of court that they are required to do so. Instead of the builders coming to him, ho Is obliged to go after them. He now has warrants out for the arrest of two contractors who have neglected to ob tain permits.

January Sale of Sheets and Pillow Cases It's a lucky grocery store that ever made a cent on sugar ; competition settled sugar for the grocer. It has made nails the sugar of the hardware trade, and certain standard muslin the sugar of the dry goods trade. We buy and sell and the dol lars of pro fie are unseen. No single body's fault it is the gradual outgrowth of mistaken notions. Might as well try to amend the law of supply and demand. Well, muslins are ever so much dearer so are ready-made sheets and pillow cases, but in spite of the rise we shall sell at THE OLD RRGES. We bought these far enough back to escape the rise, and every sheet and pillow case here is marked at a lower price than the makers will charge us for now. If you can buy a year's supply, lucky.
