The Grand ry Ready For Busine$s— Doings In District Court—The Anti-Protibs Will Orzan- ize—~The Council Trying the Sims' FPerinry Case. The case of the stats vaJacob Sims for perjury was called before Squire Schurz yesterday aftornoon. The defendant tovk @ charge of vonue to Squire Barnett's court, and the hearing of the case was commenced. The caseisa scquel to the perjury case against David Gray, which was the outcome of a suit instituted by Gray against Sims as the owner of a saloon property on lower Broadway, which last was also the out- growth of other cases instituted by Sims, as attorney for tho law and order league, against varions saloon men of the city. The case charging Sims with being the owner of saloon property had the bottom promptly knocked out of it when Sims nad Gray arrested for perjury in swearing that he owned the buillding. Gray was bound over to the grand jury in whe sum of §500, and the Gray-Boulton-Ford combivation then decided that it would be proper to play even by having Sims indicted for similar proceeding. in other cases, Jolin Crow, who keeps a saloon at No. 8110 Broadway, was picked out_as a fit subject to make the charge, and he alleged in his information that he never owned the property, although Sims had made him a defendant in the suit brought by nhim. He swore to stand yesterday. anxiety toxestif) story which, if { shis when placed upon the He evidenced tho groatest and speedily spun out a would plac Sims in a similar position w0 a candidate for the grand Jury's investigation, Bverything pro- gressed swimminely until the Cross-oxami- nation was reachied, when the witness balked upon annost the first question. He demed that he owned the building, but was managing tue business conducted thers. The business was the sale of oysters. When asked if anyuhing else was sold, he objected to answeriug. He was tola that he d not if by 8o doing he would criminate If. He did not want to acknowledgo that it would tend to ¢ inate him, and his attorney, Mr. Boulton, intorfered to hein ‘I'he next two hours wero ocoupied in ttempt to dodge tho question. Every question asked by Mr. McCabe , Sims' coun- sel, was promptly objected to and a tiresome haranguo would follow, after which tho ob- jection would be overruled, The witness twisted and squirmed, but the opposing counse! held him close 1o the desived point, untl, in desperation, Boulton arose aud informed the court that he was making an exhibition of himself; that slcCabe was laughing at the court over the decisions made in his favor, and that the evidence being in- troduced was unlawfully smugeled in. As soon as he had concluded McCabe quickly warose, and said: “Any man who bas no more espect than 1o make any such charges or insinuations is not even worthy of con- tempt. He istoo low aud despicable to bo even worthy of contempt. I despise and loathe you |turuing to Bouiton] and hold you in the inost utter contempt.” 1 want to huve your contempty” retorted Boulton, “I want to have your contempt, and that of everybody like you,” “Woll, you have it, and_that of every de- cent man, woman or child. No respectable person, great or small, young or old, would entertain any other feeling toward you, You aren low, dirty pubpy, und unworthy of notice.” . ‘The court rapped loudly for order, and the excitement subsided. After this, Boulton made his objections less frequently, and they were disposed of in much shorter order. When ove of his objections was overruled, Boulton shook himself together, fell out of his chair rather than rose to his fcot, and re- marked: *‘Isuppose the court is sincere in these rulings, but you have been hood- winked so completely by the opposing coun- sel that [ don’t suppose you really meant to allow this evidence to be introduced unlaw- nterrupted him and stated that he was perfectly at ease so far as his rual. ings were concerned; that he understood his business, and also the attitude of the prose- cuting witness and bis counsel. *‘Well,” continued Boulton, ‘‘then wo are even. We both have the satisfaction that our motivegare proper and upright.” Shortly after I3oulton opened the case he exhibited some of the soreness which he entertamed toward the nowspapers by re- marking that he supposed that McCabe had his man down at Titt Bee ofice writing up the case and telling how he (I3oulton) was being “horsed.” On numerous occasions he bas taken exception to the published ac- counts of bis connection with the saloon cuses, and entertains a feelivg of bitterness toward those who have attributed his actions to anything except the purest and most high-minded motives. After the court had finally convinced Boul- ton that his witness must auswerall material questions, the examination glided along quite smoothly. Crow testificd that his wife owned the property and that he was the one who made the negotintions, acting as her agent. He was o very unwilling witness on cross— examination, which fact was remarked by the court, and the apparent discrepancy in his statements was one thing which induced the court to allow €0 wide a latitude to the cross-examination. ‘The case was not con- cluded when court adjourned, and will be continued to-day. e Bixby, plumbing and stcam beating, Mer- riam block, - B 2he OMcial Count, The board of supervisors met in special session yesterday for the purpose of canvass- ing the vote at the lato clection.

T0 SEARCH EOR HIDDEN GOLD A Queor Expedition Now Preparing in San Fraocisoo. PLAYED PIRATE WHILE IN PORT. Adventurer Account How o Young English Turned a Flirtation o ~A Theiling Story of Love, and Cannibalism. The Secret of Mariann SAN Fraxcisco, Nov. 10.—|Spec Bex|—Notwithstanding the streuuous efforts at secrecy of those on the inside, in- formation has come to light showing that an expedition is being equipped in San EFran- cisco harbor to go in search of the treasures said to be buried on the Mariaone ands. Several capitalists, known to be in the circle, wore approached for particutars, but they would neither deny nor affirm their con- vection with the enterprise, contenting themselves with stating that they had heard something about such an adventure being projected. It is said there is a dispute over the men who will mun the ft. Heretofore the character of the crew has been the cause of tho disastrous failurs of every expedition fitted out. Kvery effort is now beng made to find faithful men of undoubted integrity, The charter will be of sucha character to allow the ship almost a roving course. The date of sailing has not yet been fixed. After considerable trouvle a reporter was enabled to gather the story of the great treasures buried on the islands, the clew to the possessors ef tho story being obtained from Captain John Edwaras, who himself was the least reluctant of them ail in telling what he know. In the year 1523, during the dark duys of the terrible revolution in Peru, a number of the wealthiest residents of Limn met the leading fathers of the church at a monass tery to devise a plan whereby sowe of their wealth might be saved. ‘Ihe brig El Ciudad, lying in the harbor, was bought. During the night and under the guise of merchandise the treasures were hastily conveyed on board. It is said her cargo amouuted to over thirty millions in_coin and melted plate, bo- sides an inestimable amount of jowels. The plans were so well laid that the Peruvian war vessels in port were specially gun ing the vessel, not even dream- ing of its value. Unluckily for the owners, Winton Somers, an adventurous Englishman, serving as a lietenant in the Peruvian navy, 'earned of the whole plan through a maia in the service of a wife of a millionaire with wijom he was carryingon a little love affair. fio soon succeeded in gain- ing the service of a bund of kindred spirits who were ready for any plan that promised fortune. On the night before the sailing of the vessel they waylaid a party taking the lust of the jewels nboard. The bearers were killed and two of lhe heaviest skets turned over to the keeping of the maid, who promised to meet Somers in a foraig Boats were manued, the pi brig and killed the guards. the proper signals, which f in the Peruvisn nav s with, picked their way aniong the guarding ships, and struck out blodly into the Pacifi Afier some discussion and wmore disputing the pirates made for the Mariaune islands and buried the treasuro. A cou was then shaped for Honolulu. Before reaching that port, howaver, the old disputes sprang up- about the division of the spoils and the method of disposing of them, The crew quickly divided into two faction: One night one side attempted to exterminate the other. Somers, three officers and a cabin boy soon found themselves penned in the cabin, the others of their party having been killed or pitched overboard. The victors celebrated the event in a wild orgy. Tho four men in the cabin took advantage of ther coudition, fought a clear passago to one of the boats, provisioned it, and put off, after first setting fire to the ship. While on the ocean in deperate straights a small cask of whisky caused a fight “between two of the officers. One was killed outright, and the other badly wounded, was soon sacrificed 1o save the rapidly diminishing provisions. At Ionolulu, Somers, Pedro, Ravelo and the cabin boy representod themselves as sur- vivors of a shipwreck. “Their story touched the sympathy of a merchant, who vrovided them with passes to Sen Francisco. Somers first business was to try to get pos- session of the jewels leftin Lima in charge of his sweetheart in_order to realize on them and fit out an expedition for the Maranne islands, The three raked and scraped to- gether every cent possible. 1t was given in charge of Ruavelo and the boy, who wero to 0 10 Lima and bring back the maid and the jewels. omers, being afraid to show his face any- e near the Peruvian line, for obvious reasons, remained in this city, At the same time he proposed to do what he regarded as aneat little stroke of business, T'he treasure on the island was large, but the fewer there were to share it the larger it would ba. After the style of the trick practiced on Bellero- phod, he dispatched an epistio by Revelo and boy urging the muid to see that the messen- gers were killed. The messcugers reached Lima, deposited their letters and were cor- dially received by the former love of Somers. ‘Lime and the revolution had changed her lot, however, thanks to the jewels intrustea 1o her care on the night of Somers’ great coup of the Peruvian treasures, She was the wife of a great official. She coolly informed the messcugers that she didn’t propose to go with them, and that she dido’t take any stock 1n their story relating to the treasures being safely buried aud Somers waiting to guido'thom o her. I'he messengers threatened her with the exposure of her connection with the piracy. Shie temporized with thewm to no purpose. At last she found no escaps but to follow the advice of Somers’ lotter. The two were way- laid by assassins, but they made a botch of tho business. Ravelo escaped with a scratch, but the boy was mortally wounded. As he lay gaspiug away his life he confessed the whole story to the suthorities. The womun was arrested, tried and executed, After suffering untold privations Ravelo escaped from Peru and made his way dack to Somers, The two survivors row beyau to devise ways to reach the buried treasure, At last they found Captain Thompson and told such & good story thut he consented to fit out his schooner Swallow, and-have a try at the heaps of gold and jewels, Somers, how- ever, to protect himself, would not divulge the island wiich held them, but insisted that the charter for the vessel should include the whole group, One evening before they reached their des- tination Somers and’‘the Peruyian were sit- ting chatting on the lée rail and looking over the plot giving tha position of the treasures. The explanations were.un the margin and all in Spanish. Suddoaly the lookout heard a cry. In the wake ofthe ship he saw a clutch ing band disappearing beneath the waves, Somers was gono uud Ravelo was clutch- the vaper and looking gverboard, The vessel was braught to, but the body was never recovered, Ravelo declared that Somers had acciaentally fallen overboard. The paper, which He still beid in his hand, bad a portion of the argin coutaining the explanation torn away aud was wuch crum- pled, showing signs'of a atruggle, Soon after this Thompson sighted a brig, the cflrluln of which proved au old friend. He davided the secret with him and together they sailed for thes islands. Ravelo was threatened with being delivered up to his government uuless He guided them to the spot where the treasure was buried. He promised gompliance. On urriving at the first of the islands he was asked if that was the one, and said it was, Preparations were made for going ashore and digging up the gold und jewels, As Ravelo was steppivg into the boat he begeed to be allowed to return to the cabn for a httle plat of the place he bad. The cabin-boy who was in the place at the time, afterwards told that he d“\‘l] his pockets with all the lead and jron hbe could stuff fnto them. O returning, he slid 10to the boat, lost his gripand shot beneatn the surface. The coxswain made a grab for his disappearing head and pulled away & tuft of hair. The two captains went usbore and wade a long and vainsearch for the treasure, ‘I'ney bad Sowers' plot, but he had gone down grasping & partof 1.

The bull attracted even more attention than the election. Mr. John Gansey, who lives at 4360 Westminster place, has a_buli, one of those large, aggressive Jersey buils, with a rolllug eye and nostrils liko a Roman candle, This bull has & great penchant for {resh and tender goranium shoots and scissor-trimmed greensward, s0 yesterday afternoon he had carelessly sauntered through a barbed-wire fence and was surreptiously making a light lunch off a few acres of juicy green grass in neighboring front’ yards, aged farmer was returning to his home, about six miles from the city, while the banquet was being held and the road over which he was driving was just sep- arated by a fence from where his bull- ship was lunching. The wind was chilly and the farmer had wrapped around his knees a buffalo robe, some- what wora,but with a real nice new red flannel lining. As the bull gave him a keen, searching glunce of inguiry sud- denly the wind exposed the reverse side of the robe. Thisinterested the bull, ho gave a little snort, powed up a few geranium beds and then, with apparent evil intentin his wicked eye, hastily stepped through the fence to get a closer view of the robe. About n mile further on the farmer stopped his horse to rocover his breath and settle his neérves. Far back in the distance in a cloud of dust he saw a bull rampant on what appeared to be ared handkerchief. He did not go back after his mutilated robe but drove home. A commerclal traveler, heavily laden with two sample cases, woarily plodded along the road. In a playful mood the bull backed into a little thicket by the side of the road,and when the weary traveler came near greeted him in a boisterous and familiar manner. All the weariness of the commercial man at once disappeared. The elixir of life appeared to have been injected into his whole system. He claimed that he reached a tree twenty feet away in one jump and with another similar effort ru:u;‘hed a branch twenty fect above his head. This programme, with a few varia- tions, was' continned for some hours. School children and ladies were alike recipients of samples of Lis eccentric playfulness, and even a messenger boy, who was meditavely cracking walnuts ona_ fence post was aroused from his apathy and persuaded to move rapidly down the houlevard. Finally some person put a stop to the frolics of the bull by telephoning the mounted station and an officer was sent out by Captain Fruchte to see that he was taken care of. One look atthe belligerent animal was enough, so a detour was made and Mr. Gansey was notified to take the tull home. The bull submitted gracefully to capture by Mr. Gansey and with a departing wag of his tail and a haughty look at the officer was led home, No one was injured and every one was satisfied that he escaped so easily, e No chapped hands after doing your washing with Walker's Wax Soap. ——— FARMER LANG’'S HUSKING BEE, All the Girls in Two New York Towns Have Been Well Kissed, Mr. Eugene Lang, who lives in Derby Neck, is a prosperous farmer whose corn fields have been unusually productive this year, savs a correspondent of the New York Sun. When he viewed the overburdened shocks of corn a few days agoand thought what a tough job 1t would be to husk and store the ears, he felt depressed. He spoke of it to his wife, and Mrs. Lang’s quick wit came to the rescue. ‘“Lets give a huskin’ bee,” she suggested, and the husband at once fell in with the idea. Invitations were sent out to all the boys and girls in the neighborhood and up in Seymour, and there was a very general response. When the night came the barn floor had been thorouglily swept, clean straw had been lad down in a circle hig enough to accommodate fifty persons sitting Turk-fushion, and in the center were soveral shocks of corn. The barn was lighted with many lanterns, back of which had been nmiled to the posts bright new sheets of tin., The rows of stalls in which Mr, Lang kept his cows and his horses facad toward the room, and the meek-eyed cattle etuck their noses over the mangers and chewed their cuds contemplatively. At 8 o’clock the company was seated around the cornstalks, and Mr. Lang, mounting a box, laid down one simple rule. e first red ear found by ayoung man entitled him to kiss all of the pretty giels, The second red ear gave the privilege of kissing only & certnin number, the third a less number, and so on. The same rule applied to the girls if they cared to indulge, Then the buskin’began. It was half an hour be- fore the firstred earcame to view, and it was u Seymour youth who got it. The first intimation that any of the company had that a red ear bhad been found was » sudden sweep of the arms around the girl next to him and a resounding smack full on the lips. Then he held up the ear and collected his forfei That i8, he tried to, but there was mor solid work for him in the next half hour than he hud ever doue in a day before, and there was uno dorn husked in that time,either. The girls screamed and gig- gled, then ran, with the lucky Seymour youth atrer them, It wassuch fun that even the cows laughed. When the sec~ ond ear was found the eceno was re- S BULL, Loul What Coall A. T. THATCHER, Chicago, Ills. Coall H. A. COX, Western Sales Agent. OFFICE: |14 Main Streot, Brown Bullding.

The fourth, and fifth, and | sixth came, and then the girls gave up and submitted with better grace.

It was a profitable purty for Mr. Lang. Ho got his corn husked: his supper cost him but little, but, above all, ho is to- duy the most popular farmer in this part of New Haven county.
