The contest over the brogans of Juilgo Groft has created quito ft Htirnnd bU7znmong the lawyers. The elevators In the Now York Ltfi ) building nro kept running every ten seconds with inesienKors , and whisporlnR cauouscs are being hold In every corridor. The bar association mooting to discuss Ida merits of claimants will bo held on Saturday evening. Up to Monday night only fourcimdi- dates wcro In the field , viz : Leo Kstollo , C.F.llrockonrldge , ! ! . J.Davistvnd CJcorKoW. Ambrose. Yesterday mornlnpa now ciindldato was sprung in the person of Jospoh E. Chirk- eon , who , It is Hiild , has boon persuaded to allow bis name to bo used In this connection. This tuny complicate- matters very much. "With the bar association divided among live candidates no one Is liable to receive u ma jority or oven a rcspoctublo plurality. If the bar association splits un the UK lit will bo transferred to the party conventions with a reasonable probability thntlf the republicans do not nominate a man of lair standing and ability an independent , candidate will bo forced Into the Held with a fair prospect tbat euch a candidate will bo elected. 'Ibo probabilities ara that if the bar agrees upon an available and competent republican of coed character bo will bo endorsed by all convcntlotiR. There is a possibility that Governor Thoyor may hnvo tomethuitf to say with rcKurd to JIHIKO Groft's successor , but it is doubtful whether ho will do anything until ho hears an expression of the bar asso- elation. Thu light over the collcclorahip of customs nt this port is still waxing warmer. Intrigue nnd underground work are the order of the dnv. dnv.T. . C. nrunor claimed that ho had a "sura thing" on the vacancy that would bo created by Collector Jordon's resignation , consequently quently tno surprise thrust upon him whou ho read In TUB Um ; that \V. II. Alexander would undoubtedly bo leconimended for the appointment almost set him wild. There ere doubts , however , about Mr. Alexander's chances. Senator Mandcrson said the other day that ho favored him , nnd Congressman Council thought u majority of the delegation would bu willing to rccom- moiul him for the place , but at that timothoy did not anticipate , that the mutter would de velop into u red-hot light. Mr. Phillips , who was an aspirant for Jor dan's placo. fius dropped the light nudugruud to accept the deputy collcetorship. With this stuto of affairs to tnko advantage of the Hon. Dick Horlln has boldly leaped into the breach nnd de clared himself an aspirant for Jordan's job. Ju doing tills the handsome Uichard neces sarily takes himself out of the race for reg ister of deeds ; consequonUY , Jeff Mugcath's naupincs has been Increased. It is reported , also , that Jell and Dick hud a mutual under standing before the latter fully made up his mind to Beak the government sit. tJorlln's withdrawal loaves .1. D. South ard a clear Hold for the republican nomina tion for register of deeds , unless there nro candidates who have not made themselves known. Magcath imagines ho will have no trouble- defeat Southard. Uutthero are no signs indicative of an absolute certainty that Hlchard will capture the collcctorshlp. Just where thu main fight in the impending campaign will center la dillluult to predict. It may oe on thooflice of sheriff both before anil after the conventions. IJilly Coburn.tho present Incumbent , wants a third term , but Milco L.CO is bitterly opposed to breaking down what ho terms un established precedent and Is dohiK everything In his power to se cure the republican nomination. Mike Maul lias also been mentioned in this connection. Muul'scnndidacy depends on the wish of his paitticr , John Drcxcl , who desires the demo cratic nomination , though it was stated that ho did not care to go in unless the re publicans select I..CO. If they ronomlimto C'oburn , Drexel thinks ho can get along two years more as coroner. Councilman John IJoyd is another dom inating spirit in the democratic ranks anx ious to succeed Coburu. George Holmrod and John Groves are the only republican aspirants for treasurer , while the opposition talks about Adam Snyder , Truman Uuclr , Euclid Martin , W. A. L. Gibbon and Jacob Hungato. Jim Allan , of the Eightu ward , and Arthur Brlggs , would like to try their bands In the county clerk's oQleu. Mlko Hocho contends that ho will bo renominntcd by his party , though Pal Ford argues strongly against him. Pat wants his son-in-law , John O'llricn , to have that olllco , and will consent touuy kind of n trade to got htm there. The county judgeshlp seems to bo In dis repute , though thcro has been some talk that Louis I3erka desires promotion from the foul smelling precincts of the central police station to more congenial and better quarters. It Is altogether probable , therefore , that Judge Shields , who is sure of the democratic nom ination , will have an opportunity to measure strength with "his honor. " Then comes the election of commissioners in the Second and Fourth districts , now held by Mount and Corrigan , democrats , both of whom want to be ro-clected. May bo they will , and maybe they won't. Hen ICnlght of the Ninth ward , It Is thought will bo put up by the republicans to down Mi1. Mount , Over in Corrlitan's dlstnct , JIui Walsh , Pat McArulc , John RIcko and John Lcmpkc , liava designs on his scalp. The coroner prediction forecasts n very pretty light for that ofllcu. It will bo a battle with physicians nnd coOln dealers arrayed against each other , and may bo fought , with an immense amount of cutting , slashing and embalming. The doctors nrgun that a great ninny Inquests can bo prevented by holding post iiiortems. On the other hand , the under- taUorh assort that a post mortem costs the county three times us much ns an inquest , but the coftln shop has had the coroner pat ronage so long that they ought to glvo the doctors a chance for at least two years. William Nove , of the Second ward , will go into the Uouiocrutic convention ugniuat Mount for the commissloncrshlp. John Paulson's death created n vacancy in the Sixth senatorial district , which must bo filled at the coming election. Senator ManJorson dictated a letter yes terday , recommending W , II. Alexander for appointment as collector for the port of Omaha , wh'/ch was forwarded to the presi dent.

Six mouths treatment , § 1. By mull 81.10. Almost a Duel. A scene which is witnessed only where the desperado revels on the plains was witnessed yesterday morning In the northern part of the city. It attracted the attention of many people and it was thought for a tlmo that nothing would avert bloodshed. A herder named Henry Hobinson , mount ed , was quietly watching near the intersec tion of Sixteenth and Corb.v. n number of cowa which ho dally tends for pcoplo resid ing in that neighborhood. Across the prairie came a buggy , rolling heavily nnd laden , It Is alleged , with three boo/y mortals who had been over to Cut-Off island on a dual engagement of drinking and hunting. When they approached young Hobinson they deliberately drove oil the road and into the herder's horso. The luttor was saved uy an instantaneous movi'inont in response to the rein and ho wheeled , Hobinson swung his grout lash in the air nnd brought It down with a resounding crack upon the head of one of the brawlers. In thu buggy was a gun. It was hastily grasped by another of the two who coui- monecd to loud It with the greatest haste. Hobinson put spurs to his horse and gal loped like the wjnd. ' He was followed by the carriage , but hud rounded the corner on to Sixteenth from the alloy between Sixteenth nnd Fifteenth before the gunner could tnko aim. Ho flow to his house , procured two loaded revolvers and started to llnd hi * pursuers , "I want to incut them now , " ho snld , "and we'll see who'll f ot the worst of it , " The others , meanwhile , tried to track him. They drove up und down Sixteenth , Fif teenth , Ohio , Lucas and Corby etrectn , down on the bottoms and all through the vicinity , but failed to llud him. At tna same tlmo ho was booking them , without the name success. 'Ihodualclmso attracted great attention , Women stood with bated breath lest the parties should meat. Because nothing could avert bloodshed and loss of life. Finally Officer Evcrle , who , by the way , 1ms a beat of Thirty-two blocks , arrived on the Bccno , whereupon the carriage roystorcrs departed. Ho telephoned to central station ta head thorn off , ns they went to town , but the achievement was not accomplished. Pours' is the purest and best soap over made.

The following N the substanoo of Judge Hopowull's Instructions to the jury : "Formerly n giand Jury was Impaneled ut each sitting of the court , whoso duty it waste to tnnko Inquiry concerning all violations of our criminal laxvs , and no person could bu prosecuted for the commission ot n crime amounting to a felony uutll ho had first re ceived consideration at thu hands of a grind jury , nnd a true bill had been returned against him. Hut , as thu law now stands , the county attorney Is permitted to tile an information against anyone charged with crime. Such information takes the plueo of the Indictment by grand jury , and the party is put upon his trial in that way. Slnco the enactment of this law by the legislature In prosecutions have boon almost wholly by Information. Vorv few grand Juries have been called ; practically they have been un known. . "I'ho grand -jury system , however , has not been abandoned. U has been retained in our statute mid may bo Invoked at any time when thought desirable. A district Judge may cause a grand Jury to be convened when In his opinion there are mutters that ought to bo considered by It. The judges of this court have thought proper to call one nt this time. This has been done in view of certain charges of fr.tud and cor ruption that have been made against your county commissioners through the public press and otherwise. It has been charged that they have made corrupt baraalns with contractors nnd have misapplied public moneys In connection with the buihlingof ttio county hospital and perhaps in other ways. "It will be your duty to inquire particu larly into those charges. Your nxamination should bo painstaking and careful. You should give them a most thorough anil search ! ug investigation to the end that the truth may bo known. If xvrong 1ms been done by public ofllciuls the people ought to know It , und the guilty p.irtlos bo brought to speedy trial. If thcieis no foundation in tact foi the charges tlmt have beou made , then com mon justice demands that It be so declared by your action. "While ttio consideration of these par ticular charges by you was Iho principal cause of vour boiii-j called tocether. you tire not conllticd to their examination alone. It is .your duty to consider any other matters ot n criminal nntuio that may be called to your attention by the county attorney or that shall como to your knowledge in linv way. Any wrong doing , violations of the criminal code that you m.iy know of personally or have good reason to believe , should be biought to the attention of your lellow jurors that proper action may be taken in regard thereto. "All business of tha grand jury room should bo kept inviolably secret by you. It is expected iliat you will talk treely with each other in regard to all matters that como before you lor consideration and that no whisper of what is said or done by you cither singly or collectively will gain public ity except through such indictments us you may present. "It is your duty to inquire especially in re gard to trespass and the outting of timber from the school lands and any violations In this regard .should bo considered. "It Is your duty to visit and inspect the county jail and make such comments and recommendations in icg.ird to its manage ment as you deem proper. "Tho county attorney is your Inijal ad viser and will examine witnesses und consult with you when requested. " Tiio charges closed with the usual instruc tions relative to the examination of witnesses and the manner of returning hills. County Attorney Mahoney is highly' pleased with the personnel of the grand Jury. "There are no professionals on the list , this time , " said hn. "but a body of business men who will attend to the muttcis before thorn in a business like manner. " Judge Wiikeley will attend to civil cases , at least until the return of Judge Doanc , who is holding court ir. Washington county , nnd , as a result , the equity docket will not be reached for at least two weeks. The State of Nebraska by C. II.
