THE rLILE-MINDL.
Fifteen Hundred Idiots In Pennsylvania The
Hchool for their Keller Hovr titer are li.
trlbuted Ainenft tbe Klch nad the Poor.
Some time ago the annual meeting of the con
tributors to the Pennsylvania Training School
lor Feeble-minded Children was held in this
city, when the statistics submitted were pub
llshed in these columns. We have to-day re
ceived the complete report, which has many
interesting paragraphs, and from which wc take
a few:
When It Is considered that there Is no position la
life, however distinguished; no family circle, how
ever carefully observant of all sanitary laws tbat
can be exempt from the possible misfortune of hav
ing a feeble-minded child to cast a gloom upon It;
when It Is also considered tbat Mere Is one such im
becile in every thousand; and that, besides tbe con
stant distress whleh tbeir presence must occasion, it
la-Impossible to rear them advantageously in the
society of those with vigorous Intellects the neces
sity of an Institution for the exclusive care aad
training of this unfortunate grade of mind must be
apparent to every humane and thinking person.
That ail the children received into the wards of this
establishment are rendered much more comfortable
than tliey could be at their respective homes, and
that large numbers of them are so far Improved as to
be enabled to earn a livelihood, the experience of
the past eighteen years abundantly attests.
It would be not simply an interesting but a valua
ble fact to know the number of imbeciles in our
State. Approximate estimates have been made, giv
ing one to every thousand of population ; the census
01 Pennsylvania recently made shows 8,&oj,oih) In
habitants, of whom probably only 1800 will be re
ported idiotic or feeble-minded. For obvious rea
sons, the census returns of the Insane and Idiotic
are never likely to approach exactness or even half
truth, and until a more systematic method ol ex
amination be adopted, It is safer to base calculations
on the already established estimate of one to one
thousand inhabitants, which would give au Imbecile
population In this State of about 8500.
No condition of society Is exempt Irom this bale
ful shadow, which casts a sickly gloom in the
wealthy family, and deepens its sadness In the home
of want. Comparing the estimated 8600 persons of
feeble mind In the State of Pennsylvania with those
admitted to the institution since 1SC3, the following
computation is made, which must nearly approxi
mate the truth as to the financial or social standing
of the whole number. 717 are in families of ample
ability to furnish support. 604 are in families able
and willing to pay half-support. 1619 are in poor
families, uuable to pay for support away from home,
yet unwilling to relieve themselves of a painful
bnrden by casting their children into almshouses
660 are In homes degraded by vice and intcmper-.
ance, or are at public expense in almshouses.

Ot gwticti Mninh..i) the Uermaa-
natf Nrrttwa KMilr-aJ.
We are called upon to chronicle another rail
road accident that, minus tbe tragic details,
bean a close resemblance to tne JIarrisburg
holocaust. There is tbe narrative, the open
switch, the coal oil train, tbe collision, but pro
videntially no open drawbridge or fearful explo
sion. Tile train tbat left tbe Germantown and
Xorrlstown depot at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon was due at Noriistown at 4 o'clock. When
at tbe Quarries' Station, vory near Norrlstown,
tbey were considerably behind lime, and did
not stop. At this point there is a switch, which
was open, and the train, at an Increased rate of
speed, was branched off on to the other
track, w men 11 jumped ana immediately after
collided with a coal oil train standintr there.
The engineer leaped from tbe train and escaped
nnburt. There was a considerable smash-op,
bnt no one was seriously injured. It wm an
especial favor of Providence that the collision
did not Ignite the oil, and thus add fire to the
scene.
A Patent Cae Before Alderman McCol-
gan, yesterday afternoon, Charles II. Evans hud
a hearing on the charge of cheating and obtain
ing money under false pretenses. It appears
tbat Evans is connected wilh tbe firm of Evans
tfc Co., patent agents, whose place of business is
located at the N. E. corner of Fourth and Wal
nut streets. Some time ago Mr. Henry W.
Adams, who is interested in several patents,
called upon Evans and stated that be wished
him to secure patents on several articles which
he had invented. This was agreed to, and the
entire matter left In charge of Evans. Instead
of securing the patents, as be should have done,
it is alleged that he never attended to the busi
ness at all, but at various intervals secured
money Irom Mr. Adams. In all amounting to
$105. Mr. Adams had, through some misappre
hension, signed a power of attorney, in the
name of Joseph Evans, instead of Chas. II. Evans.
The substitution of this name for the right one,
it is alleged, was because Charles II. Evans hai
no authority to do business with the Patent
Oillce at Washington, as be had been ruled out,
owing to some previous irregularity. The alder
man held Evans in the sum of $800 for a further
hearing, so that the order of the Patent Oilice
relative to the accused could bo brought in evi
dence, and the case satisfactorily decided.
Dishonest Salesman He Pawns Articles
or his Employers David W. Patterson, a
salesman employed by Messrs. Strawbrldge fc
Clothier, Eighth and Market streets, was before
Alderman Beitler last evening, on the charge of
stealing a number of pieces of silk from his
erdployers. Patterson has had charge of the
silk department in the establishment a verv
responsible position, the goods in that depart
ment amounting to some $00,000.
Yesterday morning a member of the firm
received information that Patterson had pawned
a silk pattern for twenty dollars, the pattern
being worth at least eighty dollars. A warrant
was taken out and Constable Fuller arrested
the accused last evening. When in the magi
strate's oilico Patterson was highly displeased
at the thought of being subjected to the
indignity of an arrest, but he gradually cooled
down and acknowledged his guilt; and in this
frame of snindj he handed over five other
pawn tickets, each calling for a silk pattern of
the same value as the other. The extent of his
pilferings is not yet ascertained. The alderman
sent him to Moyamenslng until a further hearing
of the case.
Our Unclean Streets Order of Board
or Health. To-day the time expired in which
tbe Board of Health allowed the street contrac
tors to abide by tbeir contracts. It was the in
tention of the board that unless the work was
not commenced to employ a force of men, clean
the streets, and charge the bill to the contrac
tors, but in view of last week having been an
unfavorable one for operations, the board has
extended the time until to-morrow, and if the

ployers, Messrs. Curtis, Brown fc Co., raff and

Keiea a portion 01 me money received, lie

can Federation." It contains the following:
A manifesto originating in the suffrages of 215
battalions of the National Guard repudiates the
disturbances.
The Government calumniates Paris and arms
the provinces. It imposes upon us a commander,
attempts night disarmings, removes the capital,
and infamously seeks to besmear our honor with
bloody filth. The Nationals have participated
in no crime.
The ElactUn.
A proclamation fixes the elections for Wednes
day. The Journal also announces that the com
mittee will abdicate power upon the election of

BpfeUU Despatch to the Evening ItUirapK
Washington, March 21 The President in
formed Judge Kelley this morning that he would
send the name of J. W. Forney to the Senate
to-day or Collector of the Port of Philadelphia.
Forney has already had the place offered to him,
and declined it. The President thinks that
when Forney's name is sent to tho Senate he
will reconsider his determination and accept.
A tMreas Preeanre
is being brought to bear upon Forney from here
to get him to take a place. His eourse on the
Sumner matter has
Alarmed the President
and friends of the administration, and they
think it wise policy to offer him the position.
Forney's most intimate friends here are against
his accepting the collectorship, and they assert
be will stick to his determination not to have
anything to do with it.
The President's anxiety to have Forney ac
cept is due to the conviction that he needs other
newspaper support In Philadelphia than the
North American will be able to give him, and
he wishes to entrench himself behind the batte
ries of Tfie Prets also. Tne NortJi American
was conciliated by the appointment of Colonel
William McMichael as Solicitor of Internal Re
venue, and thePresidentnow hopes to make Tlie
Press a Grant organ by placing the patronage of
the Custom House in the hands of Forney.
Are there no other newspaper men in Philadel
phia who think that their past, present, and
prospective services deserve some recognition
from tbe Executive ? and might not the Presi
dent, while he is about it, make an effort to cap
ture all the journalists of your city ? They
would be as likely to fill the offices in the
President's gift creditably as would the poli
ticians who usually receive the favors dispensed
at Washington.
