At Monday afternoon' session of tbe beard of piiseu inspectors Mr. Herr, wlie has the cenliact for the convict labor in miuiufactme of cigars, ahkcil that lumps be placed in the cell.s of the convicts work injr upon cigars ; also that the task of each convict, be reduced from 1,200 te 1,000, and that the feictnan employed by him be given u key te the cells. Tiits beaiti agreed te red tire the weekly task of the cigarmakers te 1,000, but de clined te place lamps in the cells at present. In lcfeience te furnishing a key te open the cells, Pi isen Keeper Iluikheltler Mas sent for te get his views. The keeper ap pealed and said he would net be responsi ble forth prisem.'is if a key was given te Mr. Heir's lercwan, unless he was made a piisen ellicial. Thereupon Mr. Hoff Heff nicicr offered the following, which was unanimously adapted : "Resolved, That C. M. Uieiner, se long as he may be em ployed at the prison by Mr. Heir, as his feieman, be elected au officer of the Lan caster county prison, in the position of cigar boss, he te have the same autheiity as has heietofere been exercised by ether efliecrs in the .sum' pu.-itinu, pievided that he shall have no elaim en 1 he prison for remuneration for .rviees." The ceinmunka'iiii of Prison Keeper liuikheMcr, preseni- 1 at the morning scs. sieii of the be-iiii, was read, but no action taken. It was as fellows : Tit the Heard u) Jnneieri of tin: I.wen!er fount u J'risuit (;knti.i:.mi:n : On the second day of Jan uary last I took poss.c&sien of the ceunly ptisen as keeper. I sent te you a com munication recommending ccitaiu things. I have seen no cause te change any part of that communication. It has net been acted en, with the exception of giving me au cxlia watchman. I am only sorry that you did net knew who the parties were that 1 did net want for officers. I should have been plainer, and I am willing te take soine blame for your action ; and I should only be tee glad te find myself wrong and you light as te their efficiency, honesty, &c. f will want some explanation en some points ; for instance, the carpet book as kept by the man who was elected car pet boss. Dining his previous connection with thepiisen theie was a shrinkage of four hundred yaids of earpi-1 . This is tee much te pass unnoticed, 'lliere are some things as regards another party that may need explanation befere he enters upon his duty as an officer here, i-.iin.ioeis' Mull Worse Than Mbuy I'liien. If, at your last meeting, you had acted en my lccommeiidatien te appoint a com mittee ( if you could net act. as a body ) te ace the condition of the prison, you might have saved yourselves and me some trouble. The condition of the hall in which tiamps arc confined was worse than Libby uiisen ever was. It contained forty pris oners. The room is '2 1 by 23 feet. The lloering around the doers, the basin and the water closet was rotten and tilled up with tilth of the worst kind. The dr.iiu pipe was stepped. Eight lights weie out of the windows. There was no place te put the lefusc ; no soap or brushes te scrub the lloer. They had plenty of ver min te contend with. The lloer was wet. The refuse and ether nuisances went out of the windows te such a'n extent that theie was fiem four te six inches of filthy ice en the pavement outside. The room below was filled with mbbish, old lumber, old doers, Vc.' The drain pipe had been opened en a feimer occasion and the con tents left uin among this rubbish. That alone would have been sufficient te stait disease. 1 have tiied te better the condi tion of the place. The prisoners will 1)3 able te say whether I have succeeded. Iu the wash-house I found the lire doers anil frame out; the copper kettle in a bad condition : the Hues getting red het, se that there was continual danger 4'f burn ing the building. Four men arc locked into this te de the washing of the piisen- eis' clothes en wash days. In the next htmy of the same b.iiUling are confined the tiamps. On!. of necessity 1 have been compelled te get a new kettle and rebuild the tiic place. The 1'rie.m and Hie l'rlMinere. Iu the prison theie were many cells that were dirty ; a number full el vermin : no spare bed.?, and many of tluwe in use net fit for human beings te sleep en. Tlicie was no straw, ami en the second day of January 1 asked j-eu te get me straw. I then tiied te impress en you the necessity of having it at once. After waiting longer than I should have done, I bought some, and only en the 27th of January did I secure the fust straw bought by an in spector. There aic no prison clothes here, lhe men who had te de out-deer work, with the exception of one, had no shoes lit te go out doers. There arc three prisoners working in the bake heu.e, and had been there several mouths previous te the second day of January. These men had no coats, and yet they have te go out all kinds of weather te feed the tramps, cairy the bread te the corridor, etc. When I tiied te get coats for them Iliad te have them made. I have te-day several of my coats, a pair of beets, etc., en men who work out of doers. We have been com pelled te go down street mere than one occasion since the second of January te buy a single piece of cletuiug ier convicts whose term had cxpiicd. This clothing can be made here, and will, in the future, if it meets your approval. Ne. S5" as a Curiosity .Simp. The cells of convicts are eutiiely tea full of things that de net belong te a prison. Seme of you saw Ne. 23. Taking that as a sample (but theie au: ethcis that I think arc worse), this cell contained two cigarmakers' tables ; thiee steels or chairs ; two beds and bedsteads ; two boxes, one of them tlie lejt long ; tin: sides of the ci-Il te a !.' e extent weie covered with theatre bills, many pictures in frames, brackets, clipboards', shelves, these all se full 1 hat no watchman could have been able te search this cell and knew its condition. Among the contra band things found in it were a bar of iron, three feet long, a hammer, nearly three hundred cigars (two weeks after cigar making had stepped), twenty dollars iu money, quite a number of Police Gazette?-, a let of permits te enter the prison, the drawing of a key te the deer that leads from the cellar te the yard ; this key is always locked up when net iu actual use ; a pack of cards ; acids te destroy iron : alum, which can be used te wi ite prison library ; slips cut from newspapers describing escapes and attempted escapes from the prise'n. These men had their own hats, vests, undershirts, cellars, pil low slips, etc., all of which de net belong te a well regulated priseu. There are convicts here who have their own bed steads, mattress, cover, rocking chairs, etc., and things of every description owned by themselves or their friends. Pray, tell me what te de with them. A Sensible Suggestion- There should be a legulatieu set for each cell for him who has no friends or money, as well as for him who has both. It should be that and nothing mere and nothing less. If sick prisoners are te have any extra furniture the county should buy it and own it. I will state what I think should make up the furnituie and contents of a convict cell : A bed and bedstead : a small Jerry Kehrcr, retreMnnents T. II. Price, brick were Win. Fisher, 1 bushel lime II. Yeung Sen, smith work , Marketlni; for month Toe Small fur tbe Docter and table or stand ; a bench or steel ; a spit toen ; an iron vessel ler reiuse ana aire : a broom, bucket and soap ; brush and comb ; a small cupboard for previsions ; coal oil lamp ; a quart oil can ; towel ; pan and spoon ; net mere than eight picluics, or seven pictures and one small looking glass these net ever fifteen inches square, and loose en the wall the whole, with the exception el the pictures and glass, te be furnished by the ceuuty. An Extensive Ollicial Smoker. I would again call your attention te the fact that the practice of selling goods te offi cials connected with the prison leads te nuTaverablc results, as the books of the prison will show, and I canuet find any law te warrant it. Niue thousand cigais in ten months te one man, at cost, are tee many if this place is ever te show geed financial results. Hew the Prison Market Fluctuates Neither can I understand why the county should pay $7 te one man for ten bushels of cernmcal (500 pounds), being $1.-10 cents per hundred, and during the same months pay te another party 810.80 for 700 pounds, or at the rate of $2.40 per bundled. Then, later, pay one man $1.80 per bundled, for 25 bushels, and manet'icr $2. 10 per bushel ier 1,800 pounds. In the month of December you paid te two dif feicnt pai tics for ten bushels each $9.50, being at the rate of $1.80 per hundred. And in January I received a ten of corn cern mcal at $2.50 per hundred. On January 0th and 10th Mr. Youart delivered at the prison, en some inspect or's order, first COO pounds, then 1,400 pounds of ceinmeal, when we really did net need auv at the time, and had no room te store it. I would net have re ceived it if I had been at the'gatc. This, according te the bill, is te cost $2.50 per hundrcd"ceusiderably mere than market price per single bundled. A Ulg I'lle of Small liilatee. I found about 800 bushels of potatoes iu an aichcd cellar under the inspectors' room, piled four or five feet high. They ought te be asserted but I de net knew hew te de it for want of room. They should last, if none would ret, until the fust of September at the rate wc arc using them new ; taking into consideration the probable number of prisoners in the spring they would last until the first of October. ly "looking ever the books I see that they cost the county ever one dollar per bushel, anil. they are net very large potatoes at that. I find no fault with cither quanti ty or pi ice, only se far as it gees te making up the expenses of this year; but I de find fault en account of rceai. Tl-ei-e can not be stored and properly eared for mete than 100 bushels. ivi.it :is meant by an "Underground i:.ul- riisid." 1 have b.entijiujr te clean the piisen and the pi iseners, but I find new obstacles in the way "almost daily. We weie short of bed cle'thcs, shoes, etc. se much that it took me much longer te get the con victs te' work than it would have other wise. Everything is out of repair. The piimpiigging in tne cellar is in a miser able condition, and I am told by these who are in a position te knew that it has been necessary te have some one te fix it almost every week or oftener. 1 have had my share of it, and uuless it be evei hauled there will be a general break down of pump-riggiug and the arch ever it. aixty-cight heating Hues were found cut orreken in the cellar. Bars of iron were found, one with a string attached, leady te draw up te the cells. In the wash house the lines running te the cigar packing room weie broken and cigars found in them, and yet I was accused of laberin' under a delusion by these who had better read the history el tlscir own t. ii i .ii invisible letters;- a nan pound of nepper ; vitriol : urugs ami cuemicais I that I did net knew what they were ; a large number of books belonging te the county. Perhaps, if they lead some of the affidavits in my possession they could bet ter utidei stand what I meant by an r.u r.u dciyieund railroad."' Tatting N.illiiug fur CJrantcil. iu my communication of Jauuaiy 2, I asked you te make an appraisement, and very plainly told you that I could net take things for granted. When I found you did net act I asked the officers who had charge of the several departments te make out statements of what was in each one's innnrt-.nip.nt and swear te them. The rest I had appraised by two responsible men. I cannot understand hew you could ap praise such things as a range, which lias always been ami is new part of the build ing, or .i prisoner's bath tub that is fas tened. Please show me whcie te find the harness you appraised ; the contents of dining room, cupboards aud kitchen fur niture. Although your pass books show that pans, weed-saw, etc., were bought iu December, I cannot find them. And what has become of the new lawn mower which was paid for last summer ? And why was it net in your appraisement ? There should have been mere flour and corn mcal here. Five large hogs were killed in December. Pray tell me who cat all this meat, iu one week? I will net be accountable for these things if net found, nor would I refer te them were it net that it is supposed my bondsmen are te be rranonsible for everv thing charged m your inventory. Docs the Comity "Smoke?'' I will here give you a synopsis of some of the expenses of the prison duiingthe month of December, 1881. Please tell me whcie te get my "refreshments.'"

I deem it my duty te take exception te the conduct of the prison physician. A prison official should net be tee communi cative about prison affairs te prisoners or outsiders. At least he ought te tell the truth. Why he should declare that the finding of drugs, chemieals, &c, in cells was all a delusion I cannot understand. Dees he net knew hew some of these things get into the cells ? or why does he take such pains te deny what etheis, knowing the facts, arc ready te swear te? Net long age he asked Mr. Cooper, the slerk, te write te Philadelphia te a cus tomer of the prison that the cigars were all sold, and after Mr. C'oepar refused te de it, he did it himself. And yet he is ene of the men who are supposed te aid me as keeper of the county prison ! Some time age 1 asked him te make out a state ment of the medicines, etc., in his depart ment. He reported te me one hun dred dollars' weith of medicine. Believing that it was rather high for a let of almost empty drawers and bottles, I eugaged a practical druggist who, en his oath, says that the medicine instruments, scales and cases, or cupboard are worth less than sixty dollars, aud he tells me that half the medicine should be thrown away. What became of the med icine bought for the place during 1881 ? Docs any ene believe that it takes nearly two dollars' worth of mediciue per day ? New, allow me te tell you, gentlemen, this place is tee small for two such men as the doctor and myself. I shah stay. His resignation might save some tieuble. Hopes far llie. Co-epcratlons of tbe Heard. Yeu have a resolution en your minutes, requiring patties from whom goods are bought, te send their bills evciy month. This should be enforced, as I find bills arc sent in that have been passed by the beard, and some that have been paid. Seme funis have running accounts for months and even as long as a year. This is net business like and leads te eirers, if nothing we: se. The condition of the dwelling part of the priseu is such that il would take pages te describe it. I will leave that for some future time. The prison, and the condition of the prisoners, and the business portion, are no better whole .leaves cut from the cash-book by some one for that purpose. In conclusion, allow me te say that when I came here it wan with the best in tentions, and I had a right te expect your co-operation. I still hope that I will net be disappointed.
