lice Captain on the L.lst.
The Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer, which began an investigation of
the New York City Police Department on
January 7, finished its work, when it made
a final report to Justice Ingraham and hand- I
ed in its last batch of indictments. No pre
sentment accompanied .the final report, but
the foreman of the jurystated that other de
partments of the city government ought to
be investigated, in view of testimony which
had been presented.
Four indictments were handed in and on
those indictments appear the names of eight
men. There was reason to believe that the
indictments contained charges against the
following:
In the first indictment, charges against
George C. Clausen, Abraham B. Tappen
and Nathan Straus, the former Tark Com
missioners, accusing them of the technical
offence of misappropriating public money;
in the second indictment. Charges against
Thomas J Brady, the former Superin
tendent of Buildings, accusing him of re
ceiving a piano as a bribe; in thejhird in
dictment, charges against Police Captain
Killilea and a policeman who formerly was
his ward man in the Thirty-second Precinct,
aocusing them of bribery; in the fourth in
dictment, charges against two other police
men, accusing them of bribery.
The Grand Jury dismissed a charge which
had been made against Police Superin
tendent Byrnes by Dr. Parkhurst's Society.

Committee showed that he was mixed up in

VHEN CURFEW RINGS.
All Children Under Sixteen Must Go In at
9 O'Clock.
The famous Mosier ordinance, providing
that all children under sixteen years of ago
shall leave the streets of Stillwater. Minn.,
at 9 Voiock, when curfew ' rings, has gone
into effect and is rigidly enforced. Any
child found on the street after 9 o clock is
compelled to give a good account of him
self, and if not the chil i is taken either home
or to th city jail and parents notified that
they must aid in enforcing the ordinance.
Th ordinance has been very satisfactory in
the eitv thus for, and that other cities
throughout the State van see the good re
sults of the movement is demonstrated by
the number of applications received from
f the ordinance and

FATAL POWDER X?ls10N.
Two Building Wrecked and Several Per
sons Killed in New Orleans.
At half-past 2 o'clock a. m. aa explosion
of gunpowder occurred in a grocery belong
ing to Charles Salathe, corner of Ursuline and
Decatur streets, New Orleans. La., completely
th hnililins? and the neighhor-
j ing saloon, known as the Fishermen's Er
change, and instantiy killing five and. sen-
ously wounding eignt persons, iuot wr.
several persons also missing. The killed are:
Charles Salathe, owner of the grocery; Mrs.
Charles Salathe, his -wife; Charles Salathe,
Jr.. his child; Felix Begand, barkeeper;
James Edwards, employed-in the French
Market.
Salathe's grocery and ship supply . store,
was opposite the French Market. The ex
change next , door was the headquarters of
the fishermen in Louisiana. Salath always
rcr.t a stocl: of -nowder on hand. It i-
thought from th efTct of the explosion that
he must nave na x a icirsri jy
sutros-i. -
The explosion is thought to have been ac
cidental, although Salathe' s nephew-attributes
it to Italian, with whom his uacle, h
sa-s was on bad terms. The market oppo
site was well filled when the explosion came.
The next instant the two buildings fell
ia complete collapse. Then followed a few
shrieks! and although other minor ex
plosions fol'owed an! the ruins soon
blazed up in ' Hame, 3:n- of t,he lookers-on
rushed into tue ruins and..-began
disrging at the place whence the cries came.
TheV soon fueceeied in rescuing Lilly and
Edward Salathe who. although precipitated
from an upper story where they were sleep

was boar line at the Fishermen Exchange,
was similarly rescued, aud by noon th
bodies of five deal persoa hal r.sea takea
from the ruin.
Norway's demand for separate
The real cause is aa unconquera
ble desire for independence. Lnder th
present system of government the foreign re
lations are controlled by a Swede. A Norwe
gian may hold any Cabinet office, except
that of Foreign " Minister. As Norway
has extensive shipping interests shat
wants ja share in the manage
ment of i the Foreign Office and demands
that a Norwegian consul be sent to every
consular port. It was reported that King
Oscar had virtually proposed to gratify these
desires, but he has refused to submit to dic
tation by the Norwegian Bad icals in regard
to reorganizing the council oi siaie.
