*(**& 1 fta^jg&^ THE HIGH COTJET. ANOTHER DAY OF THE PAGE IM- rjEACHMENX TRIAL. The Sixth Article Still Under Considera- tionCounsellor Losey Gets Hold of a Tartar In K. A JonesA Question by Respondent That Forces a Secret Session "With the Usual ResultAdjournment to Monday Afternoon. At 9 '30 yesterday morning the high court of impeachment resumed its sitting with fewer Senators in their seats than at any time since the commencement of the trial. For the first time, too, Judge Page, the respondent was not in attendance. The event of the day was the cross-examination of Hon R. A. Jones by Mr. Losey, of counsel. I was in fact a reali zation of the truth of the old couplet, "When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war." The court, especially the lawyers, enjoyed the encounter greatly, eagerly watching the attack of the wily questioner, and the parry of the no less alert witness, the combatants them selves apparently taking equal satisfaction in the contest. B. A. JONES was the first witness at theimpeaohment trial yesterday. testified was present at the March term of court 1877, Heard a portion of the charge of the judge with reference to the treasurer and auditor. The judge said he had been informed of some matters it would be their duty to investigate, the Judge said if what he had heard was true the treasurer ought to be indicted. Alluding to the conduct alleged against the auditor, the judge said if true it was a subject of indictment or present ment. The judge charged the jury in relation to the treasurer three times at that term of court. The second time the jury handed the judge a paper, when he said the facts about the treasurer's office were open and notorious, and constituted a felony. Baid then the jury had nothing to do with intent, the fact of the violation i the law was all they had to do with. The third time the charge was to the same general effect. Th judge seemed to be extremely excited. When Judge Mitchell pre sided he took the calendar, and perhaps called a ciimmal calendar, when County Attorney Wheeler informed him that the criminal calen dar had been continued to the general term. To Mr. LoseyCharge to the jury was noth ing unusual. Charge was not general but spe cific Did not hear the jury ask for instruc tions. If the record showed instructions were asked for, either the record was wrong or his memory. Was there as the attorney of Ing mundson. First knew that Ingmundson had been in the jury room until the judge charged the jury on that point. Know that such at tendance would vitiate the indictment. Ha not talked to Ingmundson about such visit, and have not since. Prior to Page being judge my sentiments were very hostile to him While he has been judge have never practiced before a judge who has tieated me more fairly. Senator J. B. Gilfillan asked the witness the following question: Please describe particu larly and definitely the appearance, manner, and tone of Judge Page in charging the grand jury respecting matter*? in the case of the county treasurer and county auditor at each of the three several times as to which yon have testified. AnswerDon't know how it's possible to an swer that. uiing the first charge his language was un exceptionable. Hi manner was quite excita ble, he looked white, his eyes looked anger and he talked loud. The Becond time the same characteristics except in a more exagerated form. Third time. Well I don't know how to answer terrific is perhaps an exagerated word, but I don't know another to supply it To Mr. LongPage is a positive man, decid edly so. Firm in court. His tone of voice at the times alluded to were very largely in creased over ordinary occasions, should say the volume was mcieased double. w. E. WILKIN is an Austin banker. Was present part of one day at the March term, 1877. Grand jury came in. The charge of the judgo at that time was in relation to irregularities in the auditor's office. charged the offense was indictable. Also charged if the commissioners sanctioned the proceedings, they should also be indicted. His language was loud and his general appear ance excited and angry. Cross-examinedMr. Wilkin said he did not think the judge read any statute at that time. Not particularly friendly to Page. Friend of Tgmundson's. deposits county funds in my bank. Paid him interest part of the time. Don't know how long. Have paid thirty-one dollars and some odd cents to this prosecution. Senator Henry asked witness the general leputation of Page as to vindictiveness and impartiality. Mi. Davis objected, and the President decid ed it not a piopei question. c. c. CRANE was called and sworn, Resides at Lansing. testified he was a member of the grand jury, March term, 1877, acting as clerk. [Mr. Ciane's testimony as to the charge of the judge aB to iriegularities, and the proceedings, substanti ally corresponded with that of previous wit- ness.] Page called at my place in July after court adjourned, and after the bar committee meeting. Page spoke about an affidavit, and said if ht had known Ingmundson nad been before the jury he would have been more severe than he was. Cross examinedKnew Ingmundson was in the grand jury room but was not instru mental in getting him there. Di not hear the judge charge upon that point. Think the judge charged the jury twice in reference to the treasurer's office, jury did not ask to be discharged until they were finally dis charged. Mr. Losey asked the witness as to the testi mony upon the grand jury in relation to the Clayton town order, showing that Ingmundson knew of the questionable transaction he was being a party to Mr. Clough of managers objected, first, be cause the question was not proper in cross ex amination, and second because the secrets of a grand jury could not be divulged by a member. Mr. Davis, of counsel, argued as to the ad missability of the question, that the present trial was one of the exceptional cases provided for in which testimony giving proceedings be fore grand juries can be divulged. Mr. Campbell interrupting, suggested that argument might be avoided at this time by allowing the Senate to decide as to the first objection, that it was not cross-examination. Mr. DavisI call the honorable gentleman order. I do not consent to the interruption. I am now answering the second objection, but before I get through I will answer the first. Mr. Davis then proceeded with his arguments, quoting at length from numerous authorities support of his position. Mr. Campbell, of managers, answered Mr. Davis at length, taking the ground that the question could not be answered without expos ing the secrets of the grand jury in violation of law. Upon motion of Senator Nelson the Senate retired to consider the questions involved, and npon reopening the doors took a recess to 3 p. Secret Session. The Senate spent nearly an hour and a half in secret session considering the questions in volved, which were disposed of by the adoption of the following resolution, offered by Senator Edgerton: Ordered, that the question proposed by the respondent is not proper cross-examination. Sonator Waldron offered the following: Resolved, That we have no more secret ses sions forth purpose of considering the admis sibility of evidence. Senator Henry gave notice of debate, and the resolution was laid over. The court then took a recess until 8 p. M. Afternoon Session. Promptly at 3 o'clock the court was called to order by President Wakefield. Announcement being made of the action of the court in secret session, denying the admissibility of respond ent's question, the cross-examination of Mr. 0. O. OKAXB was resumed by Mr. Losey. Mr. Coleman was on the grand jury. When the jury were dis charged Page took the paper previously sub mitted and said if the facts were as then stated the acts constituted an indictable offense, and the jury had violated their oaths in failing to so hnd, but the law was such that no grand jury could stand between crime and its punishment. Punng tip statement, Pag & &' mm *gc# f^Wf&.>tkMi jury had been influenced by im proper motives, then they had violated their oaths. Hare talked with one of the grand jury to-day to refresh my memory. Don't think the judge's tone war loudertthan usual in delivering the first charge. Can't say his tone was any louder than usual when he discharged the jury. More sarcastic than loud. Could not give the manner. Nobody bat Jndge Page could do that. It's peculiar to himself. There was considerable excitement over the Ingmund son matter. Came into court and reported as to the auditor's office. Page then said all the jury had to do was to call the auditor and commissioner before them, and explain the matter, and if they would discontinue the practice, no farther notice need be taken of it. LEVI FOBS Sworn, testified lived in Windom, Mower county. Was a grand juror at the March term, 1877, was present and heard the chargeof Judge Page, of which he gave his recollection, being in substance the same as that of the preceding witnessess. After the charge, Page said we were an intelligent looking set of men, and he expeoted we would do our duty faithfully. When we made the report Page said he was astonished, and told us we must investigate, and we retired and drew up a report statins the facts. When the report was presented Page said the facts warranted an indictment, and he could not see why we had not been done unless we had been bribed, and that in failing to do so we had violated our oaths and perjured ourselves. Hi manner was very indignant, spoke out and thonght he was angry. Cross-Examination by Mr. LoseyMr. FOBS said he had not been in court much previous to that time. Grand jury only asked to be discharged at the time they were. Have not made an affidavit. Signed one, but did not swear to it. I was presented and read to me. Was in the harvest field. Did not raise my hand or swear to it. Think the affidavit con tains a statement of facts as I then understood it. Mr. A. A. Harwood furnished the ink in the harvest field. Did aot see Crandall sign the affidavit at the time. That portion of the affidavit about the jury being discharged is not true. It is not true as stated in the affidavit that the judge used insulting and abusive language. Had no talk with Crandall about the affidavit. Don't recollect what Crandall and Harwood said they wanted the affidavit for. Found the facts by the examination, and the court laid down the law, but did not believe he laid down correctly as to that point, and so did not bring in an indictment. He-directThe jury were in session eleven days. Were investigating the treasury busi ness about four or five days. Page spoke to me about the affidavit. Cameiomy place one day last August, and wanted djPfto take back what I said in the affidavit. Then read the bar committee's report, and asked if I did not think it correct. I replied I did not. Got out a pencil to write another affidavit, but I told him I would think it over. A. D. WOODABD was one of the grand jury at the March term 1877, and detailed the charge of Jndge Page as to irregularities and the proceedings that followed. testified further that he called Ingmundson into the presence of the jury at the suggestion of the foreman, and that Ing mundson's explanation at that time satisfied the jury that had done nothing indictable. When jury reported nothing against the treas urer Page would get angry, and seemed deter mined we should not be discharged until we had found a bill. When we presented a statement of the facts, he said if the statements made were true, they constituted an impeachable offense. His language was very harsh never heard such language by a man in his place. Appeared to be very angry. Cross examined by Mr. LoseyHave signed a statement in relation to the matter. Never made an affidavit before a justice of the peace. A. A. Harwood was present when I signed it. The signature of the justice is in his own hand writing. I waB published as an affidavit. Did go and bring Ingmundson into the grand jury room. Don't remember that the judge said if we brought any person whose acts were under consideration it would vitiate an indictment. Did not want to avoid finding an indictment. Had talked it over with other grand jurors. To the best f my recollection, the court brought the matter up the second term without the matter being brought to his attention by the jury. [Mr. Losey then read a statement of witness, signed by himself, in which he denied the truth of the statements of the so-called Harwood affidavit, and that he never signed it in the presence of a justice, which he acknowledged as his act.J W. H. CRANDALL, the next witness, started in to detail the charge of Judge Page to the grand jury, when the evi dence was interrupted by Senator Waite, who inquired of the management the necessity of swearing so many witnesses upon that one point. did not want to interfere, but if not considered material he did not Bee the propriety or necessity of presenting the same facts by so many different witnesses. Mr. Campbell, of managers, replied that knowing from the preliminary examination, that there would be a conflict of testimony on this point, the prosecution had thought it ma terial to substantiate the facts as fully as pos sible. The examination of Mr. Crandall was re sumed and the entire story, in its length, breadth and depth, was repeated, with the ad dition that Judge Page in his charge was very violent, exhibiting a great deal of anger and excitement. waB not submitted to any cross examina tioi. Adjournment. At this point several Senators manifesting uneasiness, and some having already left the room, it was thought best to settle the ques tion whether there should be an adjournment over Saturday, which had been talked over by the Senators among themselves, and Senator Wheat brought the matter up by moving that when tho court adjourn it bet 2:30 p. M. on Monday. Senator Nelson offered as an amendment that the adjournment be to the regular hour to morrow (to-day), stating that with the large number of witnesses present he thought the testimony should at least be completed before an adjournment was had. A vote being taken the amendment pre vailed, yeas 14, nays 11. Mr. Davis, of counsel, hoped some member voting in the majority would move a considera tion of the vote. Senator Nelson moved the vote be reconsider ed, when Mr. Davis, by consent, stated as a fact that respondent, not anticipating that the tenth article would be sustained, had sum moned no witnesses upon it that since the filing of the specifications, there had been no time for preparation upon that article, and it was necessary in order to afford him an oppor tuni ty to interpose a proper defense, that some little time should be given him and it had been hoped the court would adjourn over to Monday for that purpose. Senator Wait, while not desiring to take any advantage, thought in view of the large num ber of witnesses present it was the duty of the court to proceed as fast as possible. is views were that it would be better to fiaish the exam ination up to the tenth article, and then if it should appear that the interest of the respond ent demanded more time for preparation, grant it Mr. Losey, of counsel, said the pressure of other matters had given no time for consulta tion, even upon the specifications to the tenth article, and that the examination going on day after day, would make it absolutely impossible to agree upon and prepare a plan of defense. That article covered a great variety of charges of the most general character, and if respond ent was to be given any time for preparation it ought to be now. Mr. Campbell, of managers, announced that probably the tenth article would be reached in another day's sitting. Senator Pillsbury was satisfied, if any ad journment at all was to be taken, that the present was the best time. Senator Gilfillan inquired of counsel if any adjournment was had, if they would be willing to have three sessions a day afterward. Mr. LoseyThat would kill counsel. Mr. DavisI am willing to meet as early as you may name in the morning, and sit all day, but I want the night to ga ready for the next day. The vote was then taken on the motion to reconsider, and it was adopted with only two negative votes, Senators Clough and Wait. The vote was taken on Senator Wheat's mo tion, that the adjournment when had be to Monday afternoon next, at 2:30 o'clock, and it was carried almost unanimously. Examination Resumed. The managers then called in rotation, Short, John Bowley, and W. S. Root, who tes tified as to the grand jury proceedings in the lugmoadjon,' watt**, without affording any new light upon the matter, counsel not even submitti ng them to a cross-examination. Manager Campbell then announced that the only witness to be examined upon this point was Mr. Ingmundson, and as it was supposed bis cross-examination would be lengthy, it was thought best to adjourn, which was done on motion of Senator McDonald. BOARD OF EDUCATION AX IMPORTANT MEETING HELD LAST EVENING. The Superintendent Makes a ReportHe Replies to the Newspapers and Explains the Shooting Affair at the Neill School Report of the Thomson-Donnelly Inves tigating Committee. The board of education met last night, when all the members were present excep t- ing Inspector Merriam. The secretary read the minutes of last meeting, which were approved. The superintendent then made his report, showing the total enrollment of pupils in the public schools to be 3,258: average at tendance 2,831 number studying German, 217 number studying French (High School) 16 pupils in High School 193 number studying German in High School 52. The report showed that the transfers recom mended last te rm were made. The report dwelt at considerable length npon the reflections cast upon the pupils and the school management in the public press. I referred especially to a communication in the Pioneer Press signed "D." and anoth er in the Dispatch, the latter mentioning teachers and inspectors by name. The teachers feel as though the insinuations are very unjust. The superin tendent's inquiries led to the fact that the pupi ls behave well school property is re spected and the teachers obeyed and treated with the greatest possible respect. found that Mr. McClnng's daught er was not insulted by any pupi ls in the schools, and Mr. Mc Clung knew that himself before writing the communication which appeared in the Dis patch. The report also referred to the" pistol firing" case. The superintendent had made the ptrictest investigation, and found that the affair was a pure accident. The pistol had been used by the two boys during the day, and Luckert placed it in his pocket. When jumping it slipped from his pocket, and while replacing it it by some means was discharged. fonnd that the boys ad not been in the habit of carrying pistols, except toys, which were quite harmless. r. Hagan, of the committee on schools, reported, showing in detail the changes made in teachers, transfers, retirements, appoint ment of new teachers, and the engagement of extra ones, giving the amount of salary in each case. The report was accepted with out comment. Dr. Sweeney, chairman of the committee on finance reported, showing the esti mates for the next year (1879) to be $90 000. This estimate was based upon the ex act expenses of the last and present years. I included salaries of teachers, $48,800 janitors', $4,550. Officers(superintendent, secretary, etc.,) $2,800. Supplie s, rent, re pairs, etc., $12,350. Interest, $11,600, and new buildings (Sixth and Fourth wards), $10,000. The report was accepted and Mr. Cnllen moved that the secretary be instructed to present the estimates to the common coun cil. The motion was adopted. THE THOMSON-DONNELLY INVESTIGATION. The committee appointed to investigate the Thomson-Donnelly affair reported as follows: The undersigned, a committee to whom were referred the charges of Inspector Thomson against G. Donnelly, principal of Sixth Ward school, hereby subm it the following as their findings. As to the first charge the committee find that on or about the 10th day of July, 1877, lan guage of an improper character was used by said Donnelly in regard to Dr. Hagan, chair man of the committee on schools. The remarks were made while on a friendly visit at the house of Inspector Thomson and his wife in private conversation and not with the intent or purpose of being made public. Mr. Tho m son treated the matter in confidence and did not acquaint any member of the board or any one else with the facts. Some days later Mr. Don nelly stated to Mr. Thompson that he had done Dr. Hagan injustice in thus expressing hi m self and said he regretted having used the language referred to A Mr. Thomson's suggestion Donnelly called on Dr. Hagan, acknowledged the wrong done him, made due apology, and asked and re ceived his forgiveness fully and unqualifiedly. There the matter rested, and your committee think very properly so. As to the second charge, your committee find that FirstMr. Donnelly was not absent from school, as charged, on Monday, May 6th. SecondDonnelly was absent from his school on Tuesday, May 7th, and Wednesday, May 8th, having applied for and received per mission from Dr. Hagan, chairman of the com mittee on schools, on the ground of important business requiring prompt action, viz., the se curing of a loan against a person about to leave the city. ThirdThe school did not suffer during his absence, as Mr. Donnelly's place was satisfac torily filled by the substitution of Miss Maguire. FourthMr. Donnelly did attend to the busi ness stated during a part of Tuesday, May 7th, but spent the balance of the day at the polls in the interest of his brother a candidate for school inspector in the Second ward. Your committee are of the opinion that Donnelly's conduct is not com mendable in this that he, the said Donnelly, principal of the Six th ward school did on Tues day the seventh day of May take advantage of his leave of absence forth purpose of solici ting votes at the polls in favor of the candidate for the office of school inspector, thus laying himself open to criticism and tending to lower the standard of his profession.

A largely attended special meeting of the ex-volunteer fire department was held last evening in the parlors of the hook and lad der house, St. Peter street. Pressley was called to the chair and S TJline was elect secretary. I was, on motion, determined that the ex volunteer firemen of the city attend the ob sequies of the late Mayor Maxfield in a bod y, with banner of the association draped in mourning.

The president, Mr. Rice, being ab- sent and excuse d, Mr Timme occupi ed the chair. After the reading the minutes of the last meeting had been dispensed with, Mr. Beck er submitt ed the following, which was adopted: The board of public works having been ad vised of the death of the Honorable J. T. Max field, mayor of the city, hereby gives expres sion to its sense of the great loss sustained, not only by every department of the city govern ment, but by the community at large, where he has for so many years been a prominent, useful and influential ma n. A alderman and mayor he has repeatedly and continuously illustrated the highest virtues of a faithful, honest and intelligent public servant. Never backward, and always fearless in the discharge of duty, he was, nevertheless, able to say in his last message to the council, in the very shadow of death: "Never receiving anything but kind words (or words quickly spoken the heat of passion and as quickly forgiven and forgotten) from any officer connected with the city government, I can say, without any mental reservation or secret evasion, mat I can take very man connected with the city government since I held the position of alderman the first tune, by the hand, and say, 'God bless you, I wish you well.'" With "malice toward none and charity for all," Mayor Maxfield lived and died. is kind ly disposition and his example may well be emulated by all who occupy places of public trust. His memory will be affectionately cherished by those who have known the man, Sesolved, That the secretary be directed to enter the forgegoing in the records of the board, and that the board and its officers will attend the funeral in a body, and that, as a mark of respect to the late mayor, the board do now adjourn.

Rima, two prisoners, respectively, to be tried at the session there next week of the United States district court for the cr imes of forgery and counterfeiting, and of counter feiti ng gold coin. Officer Bahe was standing opposite an East Third street saloon last night when he heard an altercation going on, in which one of the combatants declared he could "snake a police man, anyway."

The St Paul and Sioux City railroad carry passengers through from this city to Kansas city in 27 hours, making the fastest time of any railroad in the Northwest. Good, well kept roads, excellent rolling stock, civil and courteous officials and careful management, make this the best and safest route to the west or southwest. The commissioner of statistics is beginnin to receive the results of the crop of 1877. Among these may be mentioned the township of Rochester, Olmsted county. Th acreage under cultivation is 6,061, being an increase of 1,848 acres over the previous year. Th product, in wheat alone, from thiB township was 165,360 bushels. If there had been a spare crowbar or a spare chisel in the city yesterday it would have been at a premi um to get another man into the office of the county treasurer. The crowd, fear ful of the 10 per cent, penalty falling due to day, fairly welled outward on the sidewalk in front of the county building, and County Treasurer Rice and his assistants were kept as busy as bees. The man who swore his name was Sprague at the police court, and also swore he was not in a certain room, swore falsely in both instances. The police say his name is Bill Martin, and the woman states that he was there that night and she could ot get rid of him. paid her fine as well as his own, $25 in all, and paid for her breakfast after leaving the court, and yet she gave him away.

Charley means business, and when he says so, it may be taken BB an assured fact that business is meant. The "stone pile" on Sibley street is in full operation, and Col. Allen stepped in yesterday to see how the "boys" enjoyed it as far as they had gone. After giving the prisoners some wholesome advice, and assuring them that the supply of hammers would not fail, and that the bread and water and solitary confinement would be the sure dole of the refractories, the {oily alderman distributed all the chewing to lacco he had with him and left with the as surance that his "park" would be a success. Complaint is made at this office of the ill treatment received by a number of ladies at the hands of the sexton of Oakland cemetery on Thursday afternoon. I is stated that dur i ng the rush attending the entrance of the funeral cortege of Major Becht, several ladies were pretty roughly handled by that function ary, and two, at least, turned ut of the ceme tery fox no offense whatever, save a disposition to get within eight of the procession. I these are facts, the sexton should be called on to ex plain.
