[ Special Tclegiam to Tin ; Hr.n.1 Hauereisen , Hrodoriek unel Godlng , Uio thrco remaining defendants In thu Hurlington dynamite conspiracy case , were to-day Iftskl to the grand jury in sums of K > , WK ) each by UnitedSlulosCommissioner Hoyne. When court opened to-day the defendants' counsel asked the district attorney If he had rested his case1 , and , receiving un anirinative reply , said : "Them we rest our case , and are prepared to discuss Urn proofs. " Mr. Ewing "Wu do not c.irc to make any argument. " The defense thought that it was only fair that the prosecution slmuld state the grounds tipon which It aslied that any of the defend ants shouM beheld. "There seems to me to be no need of that. We simply ask that they be held on thu evi dence. " The defense was obliged to begin their arguments , which they did in a somewhat re markable manner. Mr. David thus addressed the court : "I have , " said he , "nerve and bruins enough to say to you that Hrnderick should bo held to the grand jury ; I have ncrvo and brains , too , to say to you that a court that will hold Goding on this evidence Is unworthy the niimu of an American citi zen , and if you hold this young man you have ) not the best Interests of society at heart. " Commissioner Hoyne sat unmoved and did not rebuke the fiery attorney , who contin ued . "The only connection Guding had with the case was in the fact that he gave Smith an order for u package- hi. * houso. It has not been .shown what the packam' contained whether its contents were dynamite or po tatoes.1 His associate , Mr. Donnhoo. then com mented on the evidence given by Hinvlos , Whom he stigmatized as u murderer at heart , and said that even ho had not implicated Goding The only evidence against him is that he wont with Smith to his house. Ho mild that there was no evidence against liauercisen cither , as the only time nis name was mentioned was by Howies. There had been a great deal of talk ; everything was admitted , but there had not been a scintilla of testimony that went to show that either Hauereisen or Hrodi-rick was guilty of the offense for which they were arrested. The court then announced his decision as follows : "I am very free to say Unit the ev idence against Goding was not so strong as against some of the other delendants , bul 1 think Unit his connection with them lias been shown. I think that I would not bo doing my duty if I did not hold all the defendants to the grand jt'ry. If they e-an prove that they are innocent it will be so much to their credit. I must hold Uuucrciscn , Hroilenck , and Gliding to thu grand jury.1 Mr. Fwing thought that the bail should bo $ r > , ( KX ) in each case , but Mr. David objected , saying that Hroderick could not furnish that amount of bail , This would necessitate his incnrcerutlon in jail for four or llvo months for an ollcnsothe full penalty for which is an imprisonment for one month. Commissioner Iloyno decided , however , to let the bonds remain - main at $ TiOiX , ) for the present , but said he would hear an applk-atiou for a reduction of thn amount after a consultation with the lawyers. After the bail had been Ilxed by the court Uio thrco prisoners woa-o taken into the mar shal's office , where llauurclson wailed for his bondsmen to appear so that ho could secure his roleaso. Outside , however , were Deputy Sheriffs Ilurko and Cleveland , armed with a warrant for his arrest under the state dyna mite law. The warrant was sworn out be fore Justice Lyon and was issued under the statute winch provides for a punishmant ol not less than live nor more than twenty-live years' imprisonment. nauoreison will be1 prosecuted on this charge , which is the same us that against the thrco anarchists. There were no warrants sworn out for the otlini two prisoners , because they are not able tc give bail. "How many more warrants have you gel against usf" asked Mr. David of Mr. Collier us his client was being le'd out of the court. "Wo have several , and wo nro going to ar rest him on every ono of the charyes , " was the uncompromising reply. Those warrants are for offenses committci in Aurora , and will bo served as soon as pos hlblo. There are also warrants for Hrodor Ick and Goding , but us these two are notable to obtain bail they will not be served til they are released from the county Jail. It ! i nottlio intention of the prosecution to havi u trial bo fore Justice Lyon to-day , bu IJowles will bo brought into court to givi enough evidence to determine the amount o ball , and then thu citso will be continued. I was decided to take Hauereisen to Auron this afternoon , where thu other warrant ! will bo served , TO POLL TIIK KTIUKKKS. Thu ( Question ol' Kcturnini * to Wen-t en-Not to Ho Cnnvauscd.

Altogether there were about eight hundred visitors from Illinois , among whum were Secretary of State Dement , Attorney General Hunt , Major .T. A. Connelly , and Hon. David T. Littler. They called on General Harrison at three o'clock at the new Denlson hotel. Attorney Ceneral Hunt acted as spokesman , and con gratulated General Harrison in an eloquent speech. General Harrison replied as fol lows : "I thank you for this cordial expression of your interest in republican success. I rejoice to know that Indiana and Illinois have been neighborly in the high sentiments and pur poses which have characterised their people. 1 rejoice to know that the same high spirit of loyalty and devotion which characterized the state of Illinois when the nation made its ap peal to the bravo men of all states to rosctio its Hag and Its constitution from the Insur rection which hail been raised against them was equally characteristic of Indiana ; that the same great impulse that swept over jour state swept over ours ; that Richard Yates , of Illinois , and Oliver I' . Morton , of Indiana , stood together in fullest sympathy and co-operation in the great plan they devised to augment and reinforce the union armies in the Held and to put down the treasonable- conspiracies at home. 1 recall that it was on the soil of Illinois that Lovojoy died , a martyr to free speech. Ho was the forerunner of Abraham Lincoln. Ho died , but his protest against human slavery lived. There is another great epoch In the march of Iberty formed en the soil of Illinois. I refer to Unit high debate in the presence of your people In which Douglas won the senatorship and Lincoln the presidency antl immortal fame. Hut Lincoln's argument and procla mation must be mailo good on the nutllolield , and again your state was conspicuous. You gave us Grant and Logan and a multitude of less notable but not less faith ful soldiers , who , under them , wrote the proclamation with their swords. I congratulate you to-day that there has come out of this early agitation ; out of the work of Lovejo.v , the disturber ; out of the great de bate of 1N.V > , and out of the war a nation without a slave ; that not the shackles of slavery only have been broken , but that the scarcely less cruel shackles of prejudice which bound every blarlc man in the north , have also been unbound.Vo are glad to know that the enlightened sentiment of the south to-day unites with us in our congratu lations that slavery has been abolished. They have como to realize , and many of their best and greatest men to publicly express the tliought , that the abolition of slavery has opened the gateway of progress and material development to the .south that was forever closed against her people while slavery existed. We would lay upon their people no burdens that we do not willingly bear ourselves. A manly assertion oy each of his individual rights and manly concession 01 etiual rights to every other man is the boast and law of good cituen- stiip.1 The visitors were then presented to the general , and after handshaking ho returned to his residence. , This evening a delegation from Shelby- vlllo , Ind. , arrived , over one thousand strong , and , accompanied nby the Illinois clubs , march"d to General Harrison's house , where they were welcomed in an appropri ate speech by General Harrison After shaking hands with the general they re turned to the Denison hotel , where a largo crowd was being entertained with speeches by General Hunt and other Illinois orators.

Several rather start ling facts have been brought nut by the in quiry.

The printed copy in ono instance includes , under a certain classification , "lum ber , doors , sash and blinds , " while Uio original copy , when e-ompured , showed only lumber. Another classification showed car loads amounting to 20,000 pounds , while In the original there is no limitation as to weight at all. When asked to explain these variations Commissioner Smith , who has been on the stand all day , said ho could not explain them , and did not know how they canto to ho mado. It will be remembered that before prepar ing the schedule of rates Uio commissioners invited representatives of the various interests to appear and argue befor- the board. At these hearings the stenographer of Iho hoard was present and took notes of the speeches. The exami nation of the stenographer showed th.it none of these' notes , except those on the jobbers' speeches , had as yet been transerilteil for the use of the board. When questioned why it was that the notes on the tirunments e > f Iho farmers , railroad malingers , etc. , had not been transcribed for the benefit of the board , the stenographer replied that ho had had no time ; that other matters had interfered with him doing so , and that the board had not made a special ropiest for him to elo so , etc. Commissioner Smith , when Questioned closely , said that u railroad rate might be just and reasonable when it did not pay the operating expenses of the road that used it. .ludgo Wuhrow then asked him who was lo pay the deficit.
