Something to Read of and Think of While Your Coffee Cool.

Said a prominent lawyer yesterday in regard to the Grand Jury excitement The truth is, there never has been sufficient regard paid to the requirements of the statute in making up the Grand Jury-lists. I can remember one Crand Jury, no less than four members of which had been indicted, and escaped trial only through technicalities. One of the most prominent members of another Grand Jury was actually under an indictment, upon which he had not yet been arraigned. On the present Grand Jury list are the names of two lawyers, in direct violation of the law, which expressly provides that lawyers shall not be eligible as grand jurors. In other states it has been held that indictments found by a Grand Jury improperly made up, are null.

The point has never been passed upon in New York, but some clever criminal lawyer is going to raise that point some day, and if the Court of Appeals sustains him, there will be precious few indictments in this state that will hold water. As I have watched the exemplication of the motto 'slow but sure' in the construction of the new government building. said a politician, I have wondered who will be the first occupant. There has been a good deal of deep thinking going on in this city on that subject and many a man as he looked up at the building wondered whether Uncle Sam had reserved him a berth there. The ancient art of astrology has been involved to solve the problem, but the powers that be in AVashington seem to have come in ahead of astrology according to the dispatches in your paper.

Well, Val. Fleckenstein, I guess isn much surprised, as he remarked to-day to a friend that he didn't expect to hold it much longer. 4 Anyone has a good chance to study balky horses, said a business man yesterday, 11 if he will stand on the corner of Main and Front street or where he can notice the street cars on the hill. To-day the horses on a Lake avenue car decided to stop just at the foot of the hill. One was particularly ugly, and in about a minute had brought about sixteen cars to a standstill back of the car he was supposed to draw.

The driver whipped and pulled and a hill horse was tacked on, but it was of no use. Once in a while the obstinate brute would 1 hump himself and gently rub the iron dash board with his hind feet in a way that made the driver stand back against the door, Well, they tried horse after horse and finally put a mule on with the two regulurs. That mule started up and actually hauled that car and horses up the hill without so much as a switch of his tail. Talk about horse power, give me a mule every time when it comes to fetching things. ALONG THE RAILWAYS.

Brakeman Killed at Clyde Bits of News. Charles Spencer, of Detroit, a brakeman on the local freight on the Central -Hudson going east, engine No. 183, was killed at Clyde yesterday afternoon The deceased, while making a coupling, caught his foot in a frog and being unable to extricate himself, was struck in such a manner as to horribly mutilate his lower extremities, including the upper portion of his left leg. Spencer lived but a few moments after being taken to W. H.

Ellenwood's morgue. The coroner at Wolcott has been notified. DASHES. General Agent Edson J. AATeeks and Traveling Passenger Agent E.

The output of locomotives at the Baldwin ATorks in Philadelphia, during October, was 104.

George AVolf, an employe of the Roch ester Pittsburg Railway Company, yes terday lost his paycheck for his month's wages, amounting to $32 and some odd cents. It is hoped that this publication may prevent its being cashed for an unlaw ful holder. The Lehigh Valley is having constructed at its Easton shops a steam lire engine upon trucks, so that the apparatus may be quick ly transported to put out fires along the line originating from sparks. The extinguisher will also be useful when cars ignite 111 conse-fluence of a wreck. The report that Engineer 4 'Billy" Horth of the Central-Hudson who had both legs broken in the accident Dear Palatine Bridge several weeks ago, was to have one leg amputated is pronounced untrue by railway men, who say Mr.

Horth is getting alone very nicely. His brother, Harry, also a Central -Hudson engineer, is however, very low and may not live but a short time. His disease is consumption. It is remarked that William K. Vander-bilt looks almost like a boy.

He moves about New York briskly and amiably, and his popularity among people of all sorts is very great. There is none of the ostentation about him that most very rich men display. He is of medium height, ruddy cheeked, bright-eyed, and has an endless fund of good humor. This characteristic comes from the old Commodore. The shipment from Chicago to'the seaboard by the lines in the Central Traffic Association last week aggregated 47, 704 tons against 39, 245 for the preceding week, an increase of 8, 459 tons, and against 59, 623 for the corresponding week lust year, a de crease of 11,919 tons.

During the afternoon a matinee for ladies and children was given and the rink was well filled. The attraction during the evening was a concert by the 64th Regiment Band.

Delegations of Lake View and AVest End wheelmen were present and interest in the bicycle contest ran high. The followers of each club electioneered vigorously for their favorite candidate and first one and then the other was suppofced to bo ahead. It was 11:30 o'clock when a shout of triumph announced that the Lake View men had been successful. For a few moments the wheelmen took possession of the rink and carried M. B.

Fox the winner around on their shoulders. The vote as announced gave Fox 2, 433, and Chamberlain 1,623. After the excitement had subsided the announcement was made that the Canton would give a bicycle to each of the contestants. The 'barrel of flour was won by Mrs. AVest and the ton of coal by Miss Esther Myer.

Master AVilbur Deyo captured the suit of clothes. Considerable excitement was aroused over the guessing match on the weight of a cake. Miss Ida McArthur won the cake by guessing correctly, and James Turner, the second best won a hand painted vase. A large number of articles contributed by business firms were won by different parties who attended the fair, and the distribution of them took till midnight. During the evening there was dancing, and the fair was closed in a very pleasant manner.
