Chicago. March 6.—Up to the last few
minutes of the session to-day the wheat
market was a repetition of that of yester
day for dullness, but the final moments
were enlivened, by some brisk trading ana
a slump in prices, which, at least, had
the merit of relieving the Inactivity. The
selling, which caused the break, was par
ticipated in bv several large commission
houses, and it was popularly supposed
that the principal in the transaction was
one of the alleged "strong holders” of
•wheat, who had grown weary of waiUng
, for the promised boom In prices. The
1 morning trade was at prices ranging
around the “puts” and those privileges
furnished the supporting for a long time.
The basis for the easier tone prevailing
at the opening was the unsatisfactory
tenor of Liverpool cables and the fine
weather. A moderate quantity of wheat
was worked for shipment south and
southw-est, and served to steady prices
for a while, but it was lost sight of In
ihe demoralization afterward seen. May
wheat opened at 66%c to 66)ic, declined to
SfAJc, where it closed—l%c under yester
day. Cash wheat was steady, closing nom
inally lower, with the futures.
Corn did not act exactly as wheat. The
weakness In wheat, however, was the
factor that rendered prices easier In tone.
The market opened at a %c gain over yes
terday’s close, but the strength was not
lasting anil recessions followed later in
the day. May corn opened at 30%c, de
clined to and closed at 30*/4(33(R4c—a shade
under yesterday. Cash corn was steady.
Oats—The heaviness which was preva
lent on the other markets did not exempt
oats, a moderate decline taking place en
tirely from sympathy with wheat and
corn. May oats closed Afe@l4c under yes
terday. Cash oats were firm and %c high
er. but closed with the advance lost.
Provisions were entirely neglected, ex
cept for a short period at the opening
and just previous to the close. Hogs
were weaker this morning, which fact and
the general air of depression in the sur
roundings on the floor were instrumental
In depreciating product values. May pork
closed 10®12Hc lower, May lard 2%@5c
lower and May ribs 5c lower.

against the Macon and Northern railroad
for $2,625 duo N. E. Harris as receiver.
The survey for the extension of the Geor

the direction of Albany. Several cars of
iron have been sidetracked here for the
extension. Work will begin as soon as
the survey has been completed. It Is
said that the extension of the line from
Sparks, a point on the Georgia Southern
and Florida, to this place is being pushed
by the Atlanta Lumber Convpany, and It
will be only a short time until Moultrie
will be connected with two great railroad
systems, via the Plant system and the
Southern railway system.
The Middle Georgia and Atlantic, which
extends from Covington to Batonton, has
bought the Batonton branch, which con

price paid Is unknown. The purchasers
consider that they get the property at

“Grass Widows.”
From an Exchange.
The expression "grass widow” has been
variously explained. It is said its origi
nal form was “grace widows," a courteous
term applied to an unmarried woman who
was a mother. During the middle ages
the church had the only authority to
grant a divorce, and a divorced woman
was called “vidua et gratia,” a widow by
the grace or favor of the church. The
Danes have “graesenke,” grass widow,
and the Germans say "stroll wlttwe," or
straw widow. These terms are applied to
women living apart from their husbands.
In England the term is applied to an un
married woman who has a child. In the
United States it is said by some to date
from 1849,when men going to the California
gold mines ÜBed to send their families in
the east to country boarding places, thus
practically turning them out to grass as
horses are turned out when they are not
needed at once.

Au Important Order for Defendants
In Crlmlnnl Caara—sheriff Wel
come Canady of Knia.inel Ruled for
Contempt of Court, Hut Seuteuee
Suspended.
The grand Jury In the United States
court was discharged about 6 o'clock yes
terday afternoon after quite a hard week's
work. It has held sessions every afternoon
since Tuesday, and sometimes in mornings
too.
Maj. W. T. Gary, the United States dis
trict attorney, has had perhaps the hard
est week's work he has had for many a
day, and he has gone thoroughly into each
case. He presented about 80 indictments to
the grand jury, and on them were some
thing like 100 names. True bills were found
against fifty-three of the parties, all of
which are expected to come up for trial
during the present term.
In order to avoid in future the "banking''
of cases in the United States court, Judge
Speer has passed an Important order which
will be of interest to all attorney, defend
ants and witnesses in these cases. It Is as
follows:
"Ordered by tho court that whenever
criminal cases are set for trial at any
term, all parties defendant to such cases
shall appear on a day to be fixed by the
court, at which time counsel shall be ap
pointed for pauper defendants, and all
pleas, demurrers or other defenses shall
b<- tiled and all applications for witnesses,
at the expense of the government be made;
and at wiiich time the district attorney in
open court, ami under the direction of the
court, shall proceed to assign such causes
for trial, and shall usslgn only so many
cases for each day as can probably be dis
posed of on the day of assignment. Or
dered, further, that tho witnesses for the
prosecution and for the defense shall be
summoned for the day of the assignment,
and not earlier.”
This order will lie the means of saving
considerable expense to the government,
as witnesses do not remain here now on
government pay, but are discharged until
the day on which tho cases in which they
are interested are assigned for trial.
Next Tuesday has been flxed in accord
ance with this order as the appearance
day for all defendants In criminal cases.
At that time their cases will ali be as
signed, attorneys will be appointed for
pauper criminals, and all pleas, demurrers,
etc., will be filed.
About 100 or 125 witnesses in these cases,
who have been here since Monday wore
discharged yesterday afternoon, and they
made straightway for home last night,
because their pay ceases until they are
against summoned to appear as witnesses
before the court.
The cleHt, marshal, deputy clerks, dep
uty marshals and district attorney were
all as busy as bees for three hours or
more getting in shape the scrip of the
witnesses who wanted to get away. They
sold the scrip to speculators at 2,5, 10 and
15 per cent, discount, anything to get
their money and catch their train, because
they could not wait over until next week
when the marshal will be in funds. With
100 witnesses or more, the speculators
had a good thing of it. Each witness trav
eled an average of 100 miles each way,
which means $lO added to his $1.50 per
day for five days' attendance. There
was, therefore, something like $2,000 wit
ness scrip on the market last night. The
marshal will be in funds next week, but
it is expensive to remain in Savannah,
and the witnesses preferred to discount
their scrip and go home.
In discharging the grand Jury Judge
Speer thanked the Jurors for their efforts
in behalf of Justice, and the facility with
which they had dispatched the large
amount of business before them.
Tho grand Jury found three true bills
against L. B. Toomer, charged with pen
sion frauds. One of them charged him with
having forged the name of Reuben Gib
bons to a pension check for $lB, another
with having used the name of John Trap
pier on a similar check, and another with
having forged the name of Daniel Hay
wood to a check for $36.
The case of Wm. L. Poore will be well
remembered. He is the deputy marshal,
charged with having secured money from
Hugh K. Salter, on tho representation that
the prosecution against him would be
hushed up. P. W. Rushing Is the man
charged with using tho malls in order to
further a scheme by which he disposed of
bogus receipts for making various kinds
of liquors. The Indictments found by the
grand Jury, with the exception of Toom
er's mentioned above, are given herewith.
It will be noticed that more than 75 per
cent, of them are for violations of the in
ternal revenue laws. They are as follows:

Sheriff Welcome Canady of Emanuel
county appeared before Judge Speer yes
terday on a charge of contempt of court.
Thursday afternoon Sheriff Canady hav
ing wound up some business which he had
come to Savannah to transact with Mr.
J. P. Williams, wandered over to the
United States court, where he expected
to And some of hla friends, down to at
tend its session.
While standing in tho court corridors
ho suddenly espied Lott W. Cowart, for
whom he recollected he had a bench war
rant, issued by Judge Gamble. He walk
ed up to Cowart and told him ho was
under arrest. One of the deputy marshals
then took a hand, and asked Sheriff Can.
ady what he meant. The sheriff endeav
ored to explain, stating that he, hail a
bench warrant for Cowart, and had to
place him under arrest, but would let
him go for the time if the officers of the
court w'ould become responsible for him.
Maj. W. T. Gary, the district attorney,
then appeared on the scene, and took the
sheriff to task for his interference wltn
United State* witnesses. He had a rule
Issued against Canady for contempt of
court, which came up for a hearing yes
terday moyning.
The sheriff explained the case fully to
the count. He said ho had not come to
Savannah for the purpose of arresting
Cowart, nor had he cotjie here to Inter
fere with any witnesses of the United
States court. Ho came down on business,
he said, and it was by the merest acci
dent that he riui across Cowart, and
knowing that h had a bench warrant
for him he made the arrest. He was un
aware, he said, that he was committing
an offense against tlie laws of the United
States when he did so.
Judge Speer considered that a grave
technical violation of the law had been
committed at least, and In considering
the matter, said:
"Mr. Canady is guilty of a serious con
tempt of court. It would be lm|>ossihle
for any court to properly administer the
law If witnesses who are summoned to
testify In accusations of crime are to bo
arrested as they enter the grand Jury
room or the court, or when they are
ftlwut the court for tho purpose of testi
fying. Of course. If n serious charge like
a felony Is pending against a witness it
is competent to apply to the court and ob
tain such order as will secure the person
of the witness, so that the sheriff may
have him when the court Is through
with him. That might be done also in
a case of misdemeanor, and If the sheriff
had applied to the court, the marshal
would have been directed to keep such
supervision over the witness that he
could be turned over to the slate officer
at the proper time. What the proper
time would have been would also boa
matter to be decided by the dourt. It
would be such a time as would not af
fect tho testimony of the witness In this
court. This is a familiar proceeding. We
have had to encounter it before, and the
ends of Justice have been defeated' by
the arrest of witnesses as they are com
ing to court, and by cross prosecutions
In the state court* against a witness who
has testified to the commission of crimes
against the laws of the United States, and
it Is a very serious matter. Indeed.
"The court finds Mr. Canady guilty and
adjudge* that he pay a fine of one hun
dred dollars.
"It is, however, true that Mr. Canady ts
the sheriff of a court holding important
Jurisdiction, and for which this court
has great respect. It Is also true that
he Is the executive officer of the county
of Emanuel, a county where good people
have always resolutely supported the
laws and the processes of the Unite*l
States court, and where the people aro
Independent and self-respecting, a county
whose self-reliant methods aro the pride
of the state. In view of my respect for the
court of which Mr. Canady Is sheriff, aqd
the people whom he serves, ami who
have elected him, I will at least for the
time suspend the sentence I have Imposed
on him, and allow him to go with tho
understanding that that sentence Is hang
ing over him, and If there is any further
interference on his part with witnesses
summoned before this court, he will l>e
at once arrested and compelled to pay that
line, and besides be otherwise dealt with
under the law.
"He should not think.for a moment It
will add to his popularity with good and
true people to interfere with the ad
ministration of this court In such way
as to defeat the ends of Justice. Indeed,
the good people of Emanuel are Just as
much interested in tho regular and or
derly proceedings In fills court and its
effectiveness as people anywhere else. He
made a grave mistake. He is convicted
of contempt of court, but he will be al
lowed to depart in tho hope he will go
and sin no more,
•This case, I trust, will baa warning
to others besides this sheriff. We might
well in such an Instance of disrespect
for the national law impose the maximum
fine and tho maximum Imprisonment."
Hon. Alfred Herrington of Emanuel ap
peared for Sheriff Canady. It is not be
lieved that the sheriff In any way intend
ed his action as an interference with Ihe
proceedings of the United States court. He
Is spoken of very highly by both parties
In the community he serves, and all the
people of this county will no doubt re
gret very much that he unintentionally
got himself into trouble.
The testimony In the case of R. McMil
lan, owner of the steamship Elliott,
against Messrs Kavanaugh & Brennan
was completed In the United States court
yesterday, and Judge Speer Ims taken
the cage under consideration. The testi
mony taken yesterday was principally
from Capts. Fisher or the Kansas City,
and McPherson of the British steamship
Bt. Hubert, who testified with regard to
winds and gules at sea, and the manner
in which they may aid or delay seagoing
craft. The case involves quite a large
sum of money. Besides the claim of
about $2,500, which the owner of the
steamship has against M—srs Kavanaugh
& Brennan for services rendered, the de
fendants have a claim against the steam
ship for about *5,000 for alleged damages
to cargoes of bananas, which they claim
was due to the delay of the steamer on
account of an inadequate supply of coal.
The qwner pf the steamer is represented
by Mr. W. R. Leaken, and the defend
ants, Messrs. Kavanaugh & Brennan, by
Messrs. O’Connor & O'Byrne.
