LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER FRIDAY, JANUARY 26. 1883. Lancaster fritelligenret. FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 26. 1883. Au Uncalled-for Bill. A bill is under discussion in the lower Heuse of the state Legislature, which requires employers te make compensa tion te their employees for personal in juries suffered by workmen in their ser vice. That such a preposition siieuiu seriously discussed in a law making body is net complimentary te its geed sense. It shows hew completely a one-sided conception of r. subject may make wise .,un cillv. The ticrsen who conceived this bill has been penetrated with a live ly conception of the lamentable state et peer workmen who are injured in the course of their employment, and lie has immediately leaped te the conclusion that the remedy for this particular in stance of human distress was te ma.ee the employer pay the employed the value of the damage suffered in his service. Probably he justifies his conclusion upon same idea that the employer is responsi ble for the injury received, perhaps be cause he has net sufficiently protected his workmen, or perhaps en the general nrineinle that t'.ie master is responsible for the acts of the man done in the course of his duty. Just what it is that moves men of muddy intellects in the conception of their ideas is never clear, but this person has about as little geed foundation for this particular evolution of his intellect as can well be imagined. If employers were te be called upon te pay for the injuries done their employees while in their service, the elements of disturbance between labor and capital would b- greatly in creased; and they are sufficiently many already. Ami there is neither justice nor practicability in the preposition, i I it was confined te a demand that em ployees shall be responsible for damage suffered through their own negligence and fault, there would be reason and justice in it, instead of felly and wrei.g. lhit this requirement is already embi.l i,.d in the law, and has been from time immemorial. Te make the employer :u -Hwerable for an injury that has come te the empleye through hid own negligent or by the. act -if Ced, without fault in anyone, has net until new been enacted in any law in any place se far a; mr knowledge gees. And it never will be in any sensible and civilized state. There is no need of such a measure for the werkmeb's protection. His rate of wages is regulated by the difficulty and danger or his employment. If he accepts dangerous employment it is at his own volition. If the Legislature considers that the position of a railroad brakeniau, for instance, is net sufficiently compensated, because of its extt erne dan ger, a sufficient answer is thai me appu cants for the place are mere numerous than the places. If the Legislature pro pre poses te regulate the wages of labor let it de se directly,and enact that a railroad brakeman shall net be paid l.ss than what it thinks lie earns. It, of course, would be foolish legislation, as all experience demonstrates, but if the Leg islature is of this mind we would like te see it. show it plainly, instead el driving at its object in a roundabout way by re quiring the payment of damages te workmen ler the injuries they suffer. It is really none of the business of tht-.-iate what a man is paid for his labor and risk, unless lie is forced te take it. Se long as his assumption of it is voluntary it is entirely his own affair. He is a fire man who acts for himself; net a slave, who is fed and guided and dociievd by a kind master. The freeman has his re spensibilities as well as his privileges ; and certainly it is his basilars te lake care, of himself. Let the state let him alone. Afid he does care for himself. If he is a wise man he is a member of one of the numerous benevolent associations. formed expiessly te provide these who labor for their daily biead with that bread when they are incapacitated ler labor by accident or sickness. If he is wise, tee, he will insure his life. If he is particularly exposed te accident byieasen of his emplejnenl he m:iy take out an accident insurance policy. As the Legislature is aware, or ought te be, the accident insurance companies have a special rate of charge forweik men in every branch of labor, ganged according te its hazard. A thousand dollars is the amount for which a life is insured, cxccpt,we believe, in the case of railroad brakemeu,where a hazard of but live hundred dollars is taken en each life. A certain weekly payment, while kept from work by accident, is made te each insured ; and the results are certainly beneficent. Accidents te men employed en railroads and mills are very numerous, and they certainly require te preteci themselves from these results. If the. Legislature should require the em plovers of these men te pay their acci dent premiums k might be proper legis lation ; but the result would probably be that, the employed would pay the premiums, since they would be taken from their wags. And the only differ ence would be that every work man would have his life insured instead of only these who cheese te have and -pay fcr this protection. We de net see that the slate has any concern in forcing them te insure them selves, except it be te keep t hem from being thrown en the public for support in the peer house. In this view it. may be wise te enact that every citizen of the slate shall insuie himself against, acci dent, and even further te de clare that he shall insure himself against death te krep his family from the peer house. But that legisla tion is hardly yet demanded by public sentiment. We have heard some work men object te insuring their lives that the " old woman would be sure te go and get married right off ;" and they did net leel like taxing themselves for the support of the succeeding husband. It may be a silly prejudice, but every man is his own master and entitled te cherish his prejudices se long as the law does net say him uay. The annual financial statement of the city authorities makes the gratifying ex hibit of $21,-KK put into the sinking fund during the past year, thereby re ducing the debt by that amount and leaving the funded interest-bearing lia bilities of the city, less the bends in the sinking fund, at S523.-553.9C, of which 273.033.90 bears 0 per cent, interest, $49,900 bears 5 per cent, and $200,000 has been refunded at 4 per cent. This ma terial reduction attests te geed house keeping in the municipal administration and presents a striking contrast te the exhibits of a lew years age, before Mayer MacGenigle's induction into office, when year after year the annual statement showed up a worse state of affairs and an invariable increase of debt. It is gratifying,tee, te see the once alarming item of ':floating indebtedness" banished from the statement, and no past year deficiencies te be met out of the next year's appropriations. Besides a balance" of $28,231.08 in the treasury there are mere than enough outstanding taxes te pay all bills en file, approved or unapproved. The estimate of the value, of city property made by the finance com mittee, which swells the city's assets te S130,430.0G mere than the liabilities, does net seem unreasonably high when, as the committee figures it out, the prof its from the city property make an an nual income of ever 8 per cent, en the valuation put upon the water works and the market houses.

The resolution of Uic committee further provides that, the transgiessers of the proposed law shall be amenable te the correctional tribunals,aud liable te from one te live years' imprison ment, alter which they shall be uga n expelled.

EXPERTS IN LUNACY. MUCH MSEnliD MaU HuDSE KKFOKMS. SoineQuesxteng Concerning Lunatic Asylums IllKCUBsed by the Association ler the Protection of tbe Insane. The national association for the pretec tien of the insane and the prevention of insanity met at 3 o'clock Wednesday after noon at the hall of the college of physi cians. Thirteenth and Locust streets, Philadelphia. Dr. Jeseph Parish, of New Jersey, was called te the chair. Dr. Samuel D. Gress delivered an address of welcome, en which he dwelt en the ener meus number et the insane and the duties owing te them in the manner of treatmens whether with or without medicine or re straint. Professer Traill Green, of Easten, in a paper en the functions of a medical staff of an insane hospital, held that these institutions at present are net accomplish ing their mission, for the reason that they are commonly regarded by even the most intelligent people as mere like prison houses than institutions for the cure of patients. 1 his he ascribes te the small uci.3 of the staff in most cases. A small stail means peer attendencc upon its duties, and instanced numerous cases where- one superintendent and two assis tant physicians had in charge from four te six hundred patients, while Dr. Kirk bride, with a maximum number of four or live hundred, has five assistants. Dr. Gress offered a resolution setting forth that as a large proportion of female cases of insanity are due te sexual dis eases, the association recommend that a thoroughly trained gynaecolegist be added te the medical staff of every hospital. An amendment by Dr. Morten, giving the preference te female physicians, was warmly discussed, Bishop Simpsen, Fran cis wens anu oiuers speamug m iaver ei it, while a lady physician and ethers as warmly opposed it. The resolution was canied as amended. Dr. Charles K. Milis, of Philadelphia, discussed nervous diseases in general, lamenting the great lack of proper facili ties for instruction iu the majority of medical colleges aud advising the estab lishracut of separate wards iu college hos pitals and the employment of specialists iu instruction for the training of physicians in the treatment of mental diseases. At present, he raid, comparatively few are qualified te certify te cases of insanity for admission te the hospitals. Dr. Parrish, in a paper en hew te protect the insane, stated that insanity was increasing at a i atie alarmingly out of proportion te the increase of population, and that whereas formerly the percentage of cures ranged from 40 te GO, in late yeais it has fallen te from 15 te 30 per cent, of the cases treated. The fault he ascribes te the sjstem of tieatmeut in large asylums, wher.5 patieMs arc closely confined te the same scenes rnd surroundings. The secretary, ?liss A. A. Chevallier, of Bosten, read the annual report, in which a teaimittee is suggested te ask Congress te institute a l.a'ienal lunacy committee of inquiry, also a committee te ask all iasane hospitals te change their names te 'hospitals for mental diseases." In the evening the Rev. It Ileber New ton, of New Yeik, lead a paper en the obligations of the sane tewaid the insane, in which he made a very bread and vigor ous denunciation of the present possibility for wieugful lestraiut en the part of the kcepeis of the insane. Dr. II. Marien Simms, of New Yerk, then read a paper giving .sevcial instances from his own piaetiee. He instanced the case of Herace Greeley, who, he said, suffered from acute meningitis and the resulting delirium was mistaken for insanity. He was fully in dorsed by Dr. Atlee, who took occasion te vigorously combat the idea thrown out by Mr. Newton that monstieus abuses existed in the public asylums and said that net one sane person had ever been confined iu the Pennsylvania hospital. He was followed by Mr. Wells, who said that this association was upon tiial and if it was net te be a mere society for the peipctuatieii of fables it would bn wise for it te disceuiagc there stones of hor rible cruelties that exist only iu the im agination of the uninformed. Clark Bell, a New Yerk law yer, i cad a long paper en the legal rights of the iusane that teuced en evi'i" side of this aspect of the case the piineipa! point urged being as carelul a superi Seu of the superintendent as was exercised ivcr the patients themselves. The elticcis elected for the year arc : Piesidcur, Dr. Jeseph Parrish : secretary ana trrasuier, Miss. A. A. Chcvaillier ; executive cnmnihtec, Dr. Parrish and Miss Chcvaillier; Clash Bell, Dr. William B. Atkinson, Dr. C. K. Mills. The associa tion adjourned until 3 P. M. te-day. iHtl.WAUKHK'S IUG rUNClUli. Ferty-thicu lyii.trrml Corpse 1 Mc-erlc.l te Their Jr.ivc by .Six 1 lietisami lvriteun. The solemn last lites ever the unreceg niz.'d victims of the Newhall house dis aster. Milwaukee, occurred Thursday morning. Nearly all the business houses, all the city and county departments ami the ponteffieo were closed from 10 te 12. The occasion was generally observed as one,of drop mourning. Pursuant te an agi cement of the cleigy of all confessions, 2:5 bidus were awaided te the Pretcsiants and 20 te the Catholics. Each victim was placed in a neatly trimmed coffin and every sciap recognized as the remains of a human body was cared for. The bodies assigned te the Protestants were taken te the Exposition building, which was densely crowded, and the services commenced at 10 o'clock, under the direction of Rev Dr. Lester, of the Episcopal church. After the reading of a psalm and singing, there were sciiptural readings by the Methodist, Prcsbyteiian. Unitarian and Congregational clergy. Rev. Messrs. Freeman aud Emanuel, of the Presbyteri an church ; Rabbi Rexs, of the Temple Emanuel, and Mr. lleskins, of the Inde pendent Union Gospel church, delivered sheii, addresses and the services closed viih singing ''Old Hundred," in which the whole audience joined. The services weie interrupted by the explosion of a sleampipc iu one of the galleries. The crowd made a rush for the exits, but was seen quieted. There were fully ten thousand people iu the building, but the stampede was unattended by any fatal result. Simultaneously with the exeiciscs at the exposition the Catholics held services at St.. Jehn's cathedral, which was heavily draped in mourning. Father Keegli do de liveied a sermon, followed by a selemu mass of requiem by Archbishop Heiss, as sisted by all tlie Catholic clergy of the city, aud concluding with absolution ever the bodies of the dead. After the services precessions wcr: formed from each place of religious exeicise, which joined at a given point, forming a line two miles in length, all the military bodies, sodalities and most of the civic soeieties participat ing, lully (5,000 people being in line, in spite of tin: bitterly cold weather. The coffins were placed upon sleighs prepared for the occasion. The Protestants were taken te the Ferest Heme cemetery, the Catholics te Calvary cemetery, and inter red with impressive ceremonies. The citizens' committce are busy col lecting funds for monuments te mark the last resting place of the victims of the ter rible disaster. The inquest in the case adjourned till te day en acceuut of the funeral ceremen ies. I!j IT HYDItOFHOBlA? IUrkln;r, MUinsr. Scratchlnj; and Panting T.Jke n Deg Without renr et Water. "Itisceitaiuly one of the strangest cases I have ever met," said Dr. William Titus, in speaking of Jehu Wilkinson, a car driver en the Orange line, and residing en Warren street, Newark, N. J. Wil kinson was a witness in one of the district courts en Tuesday, and after he had given his testimony, he wandered down Market street. There he was found by a friend acting very strangely, and was induced te go home. On arriving there he was reized with such violent convulsions that he had te be locked up in a room te prevent him from doing himself or his family bodily injury. Dr. Titus was summoned andt it required the assistance of two ethers be- fore Wilkinson could be secured. " I de net think," said the doctor "that I ever befere saw such terrible cenvul siens. He was se bad that I had te con fine him in a strait-jacket. He has every symptom of hydrophobia, with the excep. tien of the spasm of the glottis. lie barks, bites, scratches and pants like a deg, and yet has no fear of water, for I have given it te him te drink. I think Mr. Wilkinson is suffering from meningitis. When the paroxysms come en he is given a cane, which he gnaws all the while, growling like a deg. 1 keep him constantly under the lnllueune of morphine ana nyu rate of chloral. He does net seem te knew anyone, nor has he spoken a word. I cannot account for this strauge attack, though I have learned that theic is insani ty iu the family aud that he was struck a severe blew en the head seme time since I think the man's mind has been impress ed some time with a story he heard about a case of hydrophobia." Tilr. KING. tilove Fights or four Rounds. A hard-gleve fight took place in New Yerk between Professer Charles Hadlcy and McVcagu's unknown, of Cincinnati, for the colored championship medal. Four rattling rounds were fought, the first aud second being continual slugghig with no attempt at science. In the third round Hadley rallied and put in seme neat blows, and in the fourth round struck the unknown two or three stingers ou the face aud neck, which sent him reeling across the ring. The unknown threw up the sponge. The general opinion is that with training the unknown can defeat Hadley. Jimmy Ryan, of Philadelphia, and Fid dler Ncary also had a four round contest, but no ene was hurt. Harry Hill unit Oil" Klllett. Harry Hill has returned te New Yerk from Chicago. Referring te his contro versy with Elliett, Hill said he did net run away from Chicago te avoid Elliett. He met Elliett iu "Parson" Davis' saloon thore.

An Explicit Letter and the Suiclile's Hag- K'.itie Come te i.ignr. A registered letter from Themas Hilscn, of Philadelphia, who flung himself ever Niagara Falls last Monday, was received by his friend, Edwin Selvage, of New Yerk, ou Wednesday. It throws further light ou the motives which induced the eccentric wool broker te take the cold plunge. The letter was dated " Niagara Falls, January 10, 188:5, " and began : " Dear Ned Fer years J. have been eat ing myself up, always hoping against hops for a better business. When 1 saw you last I had already made up my mind te cud an existence I have net the means te continue. I am net tired of life nor des perate I therefore conclude te go down the falls. I am tee old te further struggle for existence, and my sands are anyhow near run out." Then followed geed wishes te his friends and instructieus as te the disposition te be made of certain personal estate. A large truuk belonging te Mr. Hilscn reached Mr. Sclvage ou Monday afternoon, and the next day a valise arrived, which was sent en the morning of the suicide. The trunk aud valise contained nothing beyond certain personal effects of the dead man his watch, razors, dressing gown and ward robe all packed with acarefullucss which evinced the methodical nature of the man.

At G o'clock the case was given te the jury, and at 7:30 they return ed a sealed verdict. At 9 Thursday morn ing the court room was crowded with persons anxious te learn the result of the jury's deliberations, and as they filed into the box and Mrs. McClelland was request ed te stand up and face them while the usual formality was gene through with, the quietness that prevailed was painful in the extreme.

The verdict meets with general approval. AT IIYMKN'S altar. Marriage et Senater Bayard 'a Daughter. The wedding of Miss Mabel Bayard, eldest daughter of Senater Bayaid, of Delaware, and Mr Sarauel Warren, jr., of Bosten, took place at the Chinch of the Ascension, in Washington, Thursday morning in the presence et a distinguished company of invited guests. The ceremony was pefermed by the Rev. Dr. Elliet. There wcre ten ushers and eight bridesmaids. The bride, leaning upon the arm of her father, entered the church at ll:ie, and was met at the chan cel rail by the groom and his best man, Mr. Wetmore, of Michigan. The bride's dress was of heavy white satin, the back of the train falling in long folds and the front covered with point hice flounces. Pauicrs wcre shirred across the hips, and the high cersage was cut with square neck and elbow sleeves and finished with point lace. Her only ornaments wcre a string of geld beads around her threat. Her bouquet was of white reses, aud the long tulle veil was confined te the head by a chapletef orauge blossoms. The eight bridesmaids wcre the two Misses Bayard, sisters of the bride, Miss Warren, Miss Crebbs, Miss Marshall, Miss Andrews, Miss Kane aud Miss Lock Leck Lock weed. The dresses of these brides' attend ants were of white mull, ever silk, the skiits derui-train, and the fronts covered with pompadour and Aurillac lace. They were large white Gainesboreugh hats, covered with white plumes and faced with sapphire aud ruby velvet, each bridesmaid carrying a bouquet of colored roses in her ban-1. The rccoptieu that followed at the resi dence of Senater Bayard was a large affair, aud the house was crowded until the bride and groom departed te take the 4 o'clock train for the North. An elaborate colla tion was served iu the dining room, and seuvcuiis of wedding cake were provided for the guests. Many handsome presents were made, but were net displayed. Among these present were sonic of the most distinguished people of the capital. Senater Bayard gave a dinner et 14 covers at Wormley's last evening te the party of Bosten frieuds, who came here te bi pro pre sent at his daughter's wedding. A Stylish Ne v Orlcaus AVcdd5ug The most stylish wedding witnessed in New Orleans ler many a day was that of Miss Annie Lee Hendersen te Mr. Wm. M aginuis. The ceremony was performed at the cathedral, the venerable Archbishop Percle officiating. The ceremony wa followed by a brilliant reception at the mansion of the bride's father en Canal street. The resources of that laud of flowers wcre exhausted and the florists telegraphed te New Yerk for decorations, t&c. Mere than 700 feet of smilax was used, aud thousands of roses, verbcuas aud lilies of the valley were received from New Yerk. Beth the bride and groom are of the wealthiest families of the city. Twe elder brothers of Maginuis are mar ried te daughters of the late W. M. Tweed of New Yerk, and it is a coincidence that while the latter was in Ludlow street jail the lather of the bride of last night was passing the summer at Meantsville, W. Va., in slight compesatien te the govern ment for a colossal fortune made iu the whisky business. WOULDN'T I'llINTTIlU illKSSAUlJ. Dew the Resolution te Print I'.ittlriO:t's Iu augural Uet Inte ttie Scuale. Aii amusing incident occurred at ilarris burg, in which the Heuse, the Senate or the clerks of the Heuse weie the victims. A joint, resolution was offered in the Heuso some days age, and referred te the com mittee en printing of live thousand copies of Governer Pattison's inaugural address, and it was reported from that committee Thursday with a favorable recommendation The speaker laid the bill en his table te dispose of at his leisure. Subsequently one of the clerks get held of it, and, under the delusion that it had passed the Heuse, messaged it te the Senate for cenctirrcnc Iu that body it was at once- put en pas sage. Senater Hughes, lememberiugsemc offensive expressions relative te the failure of the last Legislatuie te pass an appor tionment bill, ostentatiously announced his opposition te tbe measure. Adams arose and asked for precedents en thn subject and, upon being informed that it was unusual te print inaugural messages at public expense, denounced the proposi preposi tion as a fraudulent demand of an uiiic uiiic fermed administration. Similar cxpres siens were bandied freely, when Senater AVallacc demanded the yeas and nays and the resolution was defeated. I;; was a strictly partisan vote.
