MONDAY, June 7.—W. P..McCabe vs.
Burns ds Stevenson. Action of trespass
6n the case. Defendants, it' appears,
contracted for eight acres of oil land on
Beaver creek, Columbiana county, Ohio,
and formed an oil company unde'r the
name and title of the "Angola 011 Com
pany," stating that the land had cost
them 526,000, and that they desired to let
all their neighbors in on the "'ground
floor" purchase, that is, they would give
them the land at what It cost. Un
der, these representations, Mr. McCabe
alleges that he was induced to subscribe
for one share of the capital stock at the
par value of $5OO, paying $2.30 in cash and
giving his note at seven months for $250.
It subsequently - . transpired, the plaintiff
alleges, that the land was not good oil
territory, and that said defendants had
not paid 126,000 for it, as they had stated,
and this action was brought , to recover
t • e money paid by said plaintiff.
There are several other suits of a

Quarter Sessions Court—Judges Sterrett,
N Mellen and Stowe.
MONDAY, June B.—The June term of
the Quarter Sessions Court opened this
morning, Judges Sterrett, Mellon and
Stowe on the bench. The , list of grand
jurors was called over by the Clerk,
when the "ollowing gentlemed answered
to their names:
Messrs. Wm. Rinehart, foreman; Geo.
Allison, James Boyd, Samuel Barclay,
R. C. Beatty, Wm. Collingwood, James
Graham, Geo. W. Hubiey, Wm. Bar
banel', 1.4 Heillorttner, J. N. Kincaid,
J. M. Michael, Alex. McGilvery, James
McCutcheon, W. J. Patterson,Richard
Parker, Elias Reno, Joachim Weisser,
Henry Palmer, Amos Finkbine.
His Honor, Judge Stowe, then deliv
ered the following charge to the Grand
Jury:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : You
form one of the most important parts of
the - machinery of criminal law. The
fury system marks the most decided dif
ference in the wards provided for the
protection of the citizen against the op
pression of thegovernment or others
who have power, influence or wealth at
their command, which exists between
detipetic and tree institutions—and what
ever may he its actual or apparent de-. -
feats, that day will be a dark one in the
history
_of American people when it shall
be abandoned ',Tor ,Any other that has
beeiitested by human experience. No
doubt it ias defects in some of its prac
tical operations; buj they are rather'
frioni the inherentffrmity of human
nature than from any radical error in the
jlari itself. If we could always -have
uries composed of honest and intelligent
men, the system would come as near
perfection as perhaps any other human
institution.
In the administration of criminal jus
tice our laws have established two juries,
whose duty it is to pass upon every man's
case—the Grand Jury and the Petit or
Traverse Jury. Each are exclusive
judges of all facts which may be the sub- 1
ject of their investigations, but governed 1
by fixed prihdples of law in their appli- 1
cation on which they receive instruction
from the Court, and which it is their
duty to obey. The Petit or Traverse
Jury receive , their instructions from time
to time, as each caie‘comes'before it—the
Grand Jury, it is customary to indicate
its powers and duties, and make such
other suggestions pertaining to matters
which will come before them. and such
other things as the Court thinks it would
be well for there to consider, immediate
ly after they are sworn, and before they
proceed to the dischitrge of-'the duties of
their office.
This now devolyes upon me to do.
You have, gentlemen, each taken a
solemn oath, "To dilligently inquire and
true presentment make of such articles,
matters and things aoi shall be given you
in charge, or otherwise come to your
knowledge, in the present service—the
commonwealth counsel, your fellows,
and your own to keep secret; to present
no one from hatred or malice, nor leave
any one unpresented out of fear, favor,
affection, hope of reward or gain, but to
present alt truly, according to the best of
Your knowledge."
The motives which must govern your
conduct are very clearly indicated in this
Obligation. You stand'between the State
and the citizen, to protect the public on
the one had from wrong agrion from
individuals n , and te guard the in ese dividual
from the oppression, power or verioarioo
of the Government on the other. In the
exercise of your functions as Grand Ju
rors, the law makes you entirely Irre
sponsible-for your acts (so long as' you
keep within your proper sphere) to any
human individual. Yon are in such
cases -only.amenable for the honesty, of

dants. i ,
But he is limited 'to !Calling witnesses
to those for the State, and .can only ex
amine those whose names are upon the
bill. The object of the investigation by
the Grand Jury is to see whether there
is reasonable cause to push the defendant
on trial, under the evidence against him
and not to enter Into the merits of his de
fense.
The ei. ercises of this duty is a very del
cate one, and is circumscribed by no fix
ed legrifilmits.
._
Something depends upon the magni
tudeti of he charge in particular cases,
and the nterest the public may have in
the ins tigation. Something also upon
, ili,
the di cult of, procuring witnesses
against arts , arising from the nature
of the partic lar offence charged.
Sometimes one thing and sometimes
another may have its proper influence iu
controlling your conclusions in special
cases. Bat in no caseshould you Lind a
bill without evidence which.amounts to
a reasonable ground of belief of the guilt
of defendant; or, in other words, proba
ble cause for the accusation. On the
other hand, you should not ignore a bill
when such evidence exists simply out of
a conviction that the defendant should
be able to show his innocence. This is a
mattie solely for the petit jury. You
aresimply to inquire as to the propriety
of putting the party on trial. The petit
jury and the court are to try the merits
involved in the charge.
The witnesses having been examined,
and the jury having come to pass upon
the bill, it then requires twelve of your
number to agree to find the bill. Before
you can so do, and unless the bill before
your action is recorded upon it, is with
drawn by the counsel for the State, if
twelve do not agree to find it true, von
endorse the bill "Ignoramus." When
the bill has been once acted upon, it
should be returned to.court without fur
ther action by the jury.
After action is taken by finding or ig
noring the bill, it is to be endorsed "true
bill" or "ignoramus," as the case may
be, signed by the foreman, and should
be brought into court without unnecessa
ry delay. ..
The indifference ,with which enforce
ment of law is regarded by the public is
ta lily astonishing. In many cases it
would almost seem as though the officers,
whose duty it is to protect the public and
to see that the law of the land is enfor
ced, are considered as quasi public ene
mies. Liberty is confounded with license,
freedom with wrong, and honest endeav
ors to bring offenders to justice is looked
upon as persecution. And arhen , all is
done that officers and courts of justice
can do, when arrest, trial and sentence
have been gone through with, it is too
often the case that unreasonable sympar
thy, or friendly influences, or, worst of
all, political considerations, inducts per
sons to interfere in behalf of criminals,
and by so doing, screen the gality from
merited punishment. 1
,It is frequently the case that good na
ture and kindness of heart induce people
to join in the cry for pardon; abut I take
this means to inform the public that if
they expect protection {rom - the law, it
must be allowed, in all proper cases, to
take its course. Regard for public safety
maims it a duty not to ask - for a.pardon
without knowing enough abbot a case
to believe that a pardon would beproper.
No kindness of heart, no social relations,
nor politics, should induce any one to
interfere for the release of al criminal
when our judgment tells us he should
undergo his allotted punishment.
The following cases, remaining over
from last term, were then taken up and
disposed of: 1

day—Legal Opinions—Some Discus
sion—Another Adjournment.
A meeting of the Monumental Associ•
ation was held yesterday afternoon; at
four o'clookrin the rooms of the Young
Men's Christian Association, Fifth Av
enue. •
_ .
On motion of General A. L. Pearson,
. _
Mr. B. Preston was railed to the Chair,
and Captain W. 11. Cook designated as
i
Secretary. ,
- ThS minutes of the p °ceding meeting
were not read, for tb very pertinent
reason that no record had been kept by
the former Secretary. I
ABOUT THE CHARTER.
The Chairman called fOi the report of
the Committee appointed to procure a
charter.
ColonelHayne stated the Committee
had procured a copy. of: the charter,
4
which, however, was ot officially cer
tified. The Cornmitte had not thought
it their province to ooure a certified
copy, but Such an once could easily be
procured if desired. -
Captain Cdok stated e had written to
Harrisburg in relation to the paper, and
expected to receive it in ;a few days.
LEGAL OPINIONS.
A discussion somewhat informal in its
character here ensued with reference to
proceeding without organization ander
the charter. Such a course, -however,
was strongly opposed by the legal gentle
men present, who argued that no action
in the case would be binding.
Mrs. McKee said she had been infortned
that this was merely a technicality; that
as the charter bad been granted, bust=
ness could be proceeded with without
further delay. •
Colonel Bayne explained that if it
were transacted in accordance with the
provisions of the charter then it might
be legal. But as no one present knew
what these provisions were it would be
impossible to tell whether they were
acting in compliance with them or not.
ACTION DEMANDED.
Mrs. Robinson thought It would 'be bet
ter to proceed, then, under the old or
ganization. The matter had been de
layed too long, and the people were get
ting tired of it. Some action should be
taken immediately.
Mrs. Watt said she favored this idea:
The ladies were all anxious to proceed
at once with the work. They wished, at
least to see the foundation of the Monu
ment laid during the present season.
Captain Cook stated the charter would
certainly be on hand during the week.
He thought as the matter had been de.
layed so long now, it would be advisable
to propose definite action until the legal
papers were received.
The Chairman thought nothing could
be done in a proper manner until the
charter had been received, and an Asso
ciation organized in accordance there
with.
ADJOURN KENT,
Capt. Jennings moved to adjourn until
Monday next.
Capt. Cook said he could have the
charter, at least by Friday or Saturday.
lie thought a better course would be to
adjourn to meet at the call of the chair
man, and he would notify that official as
soon as the paper was secured.
The motion was accordingly amended,
and the meeting adjourned with the un
'derstanffing that another meeting would
be held on Saturday afternoon at fonr
o'clock, at the same place, unless other
wise ordered.
Excitement In the Oil Haslet.
The monthly report of petroleum af
fairs, as compiled and arranged by the
Titusville Herald, has long been regard
ed in oil circles as a faithful barometer to
guide them in their operations. Yester
day, however, that faith was cettaiderably
shaken when It was announced by tele
graph that its monthly statement just
published set forth an unaccountable and
unexpected decrease in the production of
petroleum, falling olf as much as nine
hundred barrels perdsy, when compared
with the April yield. The greatest ex
citement prevailed among the refiners,
dealer's and jobbers, and the Allegheny
wharf figured as a second Wall street In
a gold or stock panic, There were many
who would not accept the report as cor
rect, holding that there was attmething
gravely wrong in the figures, and that
instead of a decrease there had assuridly
been an increase in the production. Dis
patches were received and sent to vari
ous (Ai points, and ,eontileting informa
tion was the result. eonte correspondents
endorsing us correct the report of the
I Here* and others deeldring that it was
, unworthy of confidence. The uniform
curreatnesA, fairness and care with which
that drgan of the oil interest had previ-
I ()ugly made up its reports, were evidences
'of its accuracy to many who bought
largely on the strength of its informa
tion. It the Herald has made any error,
there are none who would charge its con
ductors with ring-work s or a desire to
wilfully mislead the public by bearing

thoroughly made out. The prices ad

Needs Attention
The old canal bed on the west side of
Federal street. Allegheny, should re•
calve some attention from the authorities.
It is now, and has been for some time
past, filled with water upon which a oleic
ening green scum has collected.' Added
to this it is also the receptacle of all the
filth and garbage of the neighborhood.
which renders the atmosphere around
almost unbearable. It would wake a
&stride starting point for the cholera or
some such epidemic, but as these are not
at all desirable, it is the part of prudence
to have the place attended to without
delay.
In this connection, alao; ' attention
might be called to the ponds of green
water lyingitlonig the linear the Western
Pennsylvania Railroad, in the Eighth,
ward. The (Adana in the boality would
be very'altich gratified at the removal of
these healtb destroying nuisances, either
by filling 'up or .drainage. Whoever
owns the property should be compelled_
to put it in proper condition.,
John Magus made information ha l ,
fore Alderman Taylor, yesterday, against
Margaret - Miirtie fur assault and hattf3ryi
and against Shines Mutts and Martin'
Gilmore for surety of the peace. John
alleges that Margaret attacked and but
him severely, and that the others after
wards came to his home. and Attempted
to break in, threatened to blow his brains
out, challenged him to come out 'and
fight; and otherwise manifested a spirit
of Malice against him. The other aide
of the story is to the effect that John firet
insulted Mrs. blurts while she was pass
!n along the. street, which caused the
en uerit'hiAtlle proceedings' 'against
him. he segued were arrested and held
fbr a fteariiit.,*,.`

HEAT INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
Mr. Weaver, Meat Inspector, reported
his usual visits to the drove yards, mar
kets and meat shops. April 30th, in the
market,l he confiscated a piece of beef and
two quirters of mutton; May 10th, con
demned sick bullock Eas t, Liberty
drove Yltrd; May 17th, condemned a bul
lock in a slaughter hone(); May 24th, con
demneff bullock at the stock yard; 27th,
condemned bullock in slaughter house,
East Liberty; 29th, condemned five sheep
in two shops on Fifth avenue extension.
During the month the Diamond Market
has been bountifully supplied with the
very beat of meat, with a Rev exceptions.
The plinth ward market has shown
very little improvement over the -preyi
ous month. The meat shops have been
doing well, the classifications for the
month ,being as foliowis: let class, 20; 2d
class, 32; 3d class, 14; total, 66; a falling
off of six shops since the first of February.
The largest kidney that has been in the
market. for the past thirty-five years,
weighing 6335 pounds, was upon Mr.
Berger's stalk
Tne reports were accepted.
Resolutions restricting the dumping
of filth from the boat at the point . s were
adopted.
An offer from several parties Was pre
sented, proposing to take away, prompt
ly, any dead animals that. may be found
in the city, free of cost, providing that the
exclusive privilege be granted them.
This brought up the subject of animals,
sick and dying, at the cattle and drove
yards: It is said that they are sometimes
sold to parties ostensibly for rendering,
but instead of this they are often dressed
and sold for food. The Meat Inspector
states; that this is done and he is power
less to prevent it. After being, dressed
it is hard to keep track of it and to . tell
the meat when cut up. It is taken, he
says, to Allegheny city and surroundings
and sold for the best meat.
A resolution was adopted asking an
opinion from the City Solicitor as to the
powers of the Board in the matter of dis
eased and dying animals, and- the appli
cation wart laid over.
A resolution was adopted empowering
the health officer to make arrangement
with!responsible parties, for the removal
of dead animals on the streets of the
old ',city and Lawrenceville, free of
charge.

Tile Cheap Clothing House.
•Toblas', No. 13 tit. Clair street, Is now,
by common consent, recognized as the
cheep Clothing establishment of this city.
By this, however, it must not be sup
posed that the quality of the goods is
sacrificed in furnishing a low priced ar
ticle. An evidence of the character of
the botute and the goods sold is seen In
the fast that the contract for making the
summer blouses for the municipal police
force was awarded to Mr: Tobias, hebeing
the lowest and best bidder among a large
number of clothiers. This contract is
being tilled at the present time, twenty
five of the blouses having been delivered
and accepted yesterday.
4r. Tobias has on hand just now a
large and aelect assortment of goods
suitable for summer wear, to which he
invites the attention of persona needing
anything in that`line. In well made and
durable goods he feels_ satisfied every
purchaser can be suited at his establish
ment, and at prices which are nothing
less than a marvel to those who have
heretofore been paying exorbitant rates
for clothing. Our readers should be
careful to remember the number, Big 13
