The United States grand jury which began a session November lit, was furnished with an amount of evidence bewildering iu its extent as to the daring revealed without prejudice to the GrnnalTpoP icy of peace, and the situation was not yet sufllclently ripe to be debated publicly. If the motives which had led the government to declare urgency for the measuro had failed to satisfy the committee Prince Bismarck could disclose nothing further, because any further Information might injure the interests of Germany. The Xorlh German Gazelle, refutes the assertion of tho Tagblatt and other papers that the demand for additional army credits constitutes an admission that German interests have.

This afternoon a number of strikers had just left a Sutter street car, near the Central avenue terminus, after an unsuccessful ellort to induce the new men to desert their posts, when hoodlums in the crowd which had gathered began pelting the car and those In charge of it with stones. This led to a shot being fired Into the crowd by some one on the car. An answering shot came from the mob and a lively fusillade ensued, during which about twenty-live shots were exchanged, amid a general stampede of the crowd. When the space was cleared a man was found lying on the ground with a bullet-hole in tho back of his head. He was carried to the hospital, where the wound was pronounced mortal, He has not been identified.

A number of arrests have been made, but it is not known who fired the fatal shot. After the shooting all the cars on both Sutter and Geary streets were withdrawn. No further disturbance has taken place. Stanley Not Ready for a War. Nnw Toyk, Dec.

Di e. 3 and 4 o'clock this morning the people living along west Coal street in the northwestern section of this borough were aroused by a creaking noise, and the swaying ot houses rcsemb-liug a scries of successive shocks of earthquakes, produced by a cave iu which took down fully four acres of that section of town upon which stood upward of fifty houses. The greatest alarm prevailed from 3 o'clock until after duvlight. As the surface sank the houses swayed and tottered anil the frightened people, many of them with children in their arms, ran iu search of places of safety, while the men collected their most portable property and conveyed it from the doomed district.

Foreman D. B. NorrU told Judge Treat as he handed up the biteli that the jury was not yet through. They wished to be giveu a recess to January 25, when they would resume tbe inquiry.

The recess was allowed and the jurors departed for home. District Attorney Bliss had had capiases prepared for all tbe peivons indicted, and ou tho strength of the jury' report special deputy marshals were sent ait to bring in the parties. Tbe search was hampered by the newness of the depuLiiH, but by night twelve of the indicted had beijn arrested, leaving sixty to be found. It wis not expected the entire number would be secured, as there were many who on hearing of the investigation packed their trunks laid left for unknown lauds, and others were without regular places of abode. It Is said sone others are prominent citizens, hut, for some treason they have not yet been found by the Vpnty marshals.

The oflieials refuse to divulge the names of those arrested but tbf most prominent are known to be William Corlich. a member of the board of public schools md Peter R. Morrissey a member of the hote of delegates, the lower branch of the uiui.ieipal assembly. Gor-lich is a saloonkeeper and Morrissey has had no employment for some time. His house, 030 South Rroanway, was the rendezvous for a lot of dead men, persons not now resident in tho city, and myths who voted iu the city election a year ago.

The others arrested are insignificant socially or financially, but were either judges or supervisors of election. The first arrest made was Henry Flanriigan, coachman for George W. Allen, president of the council, who was a judge of election. Atiehael J. Keueflick, recently elected clerk of the court of criminal correction, heard he wai indicated and appeared at tho custom house to give bond.

The olfenses charged are stuffing the ballot boxes, receiving illegal votes and retarding supervisors of election iu the performance of their duties. The return of the indictments caused great excitement in the city. It was said by one of tbe jurors that tharc was now before that body sufficient evidence for the indictment of nearly ilOO illegal voters.

It has since been proved conclusively that au organization exists among the colored people which contemplates murder in event of the detection of any member accused of crime. Twenty-six negrees are now under arrest. The inquest on the body of the murdered boy, before a discreet jury, brought out all the facts. One of the negroes turned state's evidence and another admitted that he bad killed a man who was murdered In the county eighteen months ago. Several of the colored witnesses at the inquest swore distinctly that they had a club or clan in the county for the purpose of stealingcotton, tobacco, provisions, whisky, etc.

The members were to steal whatever they wanted, and if detected, were sworn to kill the person who detected them. The club had different names, but was generally known us the "Rising Star lodge No. 24 of the Grand United Order of National Laborers and Protective society of North America." Tbe charter came from Charlotte, N. and was dated December, 1884. Tbe charter, however, would seem to show that the society bad only benevolent and fraternal objects.
