Question at Other Points of tho Country.
Pittsburg brewers are worried over a cut
'in prices the foreign producers of beer have
made in order to hold their trade in this
city in spite of the refusal of licenses.
Such a cut will have to be met by the local
producers, so that cheap beverages may be
the result. The point has been
raised that the Brooks law rulings
by Judge "White will prevent brew
ers selling to picnic parties this sum
mer. That will produce a sensation if en
forced, and some large firms threaten to
Mick to the letter of the law. In the mean
time the brewers are making rapid progress
in the campaign against Constitutional
amendment.
The regular weekly meeting of the AUe
'gheny County Brewers' Association was
held yesterday afternoon in their hall on
Fourth avenue. There was a full attend
ance, every member of the association be
ing present. The President, "William Eber
hart, of Eberhart & Ober, occupied the
chair, and John "Walter, of the same firm,
was the Secretary. No special business was
transacted, but a number of important
points of news were developed in the usual
interchange of notes and views.
The Anti-Prohibition Campaign Commit
tee reported rapid progress, and the mem
bers of the association were much pleased
with the details of the report. The litera
ture to be mailed to voters is now in shape
to be sent out, but the members of the com
mjttr&nk it would not be good policy to
' ice it in the hands of voters too early.
iev have decided not to mail the pam
lets and ballots until after Hay 20. This
JI give the people who receive them not
lite one month to decide the question,
e J-lUe .wiMftbe-short and sharp. "Very
jew speakers will be sent out. If the latter
part of the programme was left to the asso
ciation the majority of the members would
vote against it. The money the speakers
would require, a great many of the brewers
claim, could be used to better advantage in
literature. The committee will allow the
Anti-Prohibition Society to carry on the
work with speakers.
No Picnic Beer.
The association is considering the question
of whether it will be wisest to sell beer to
picnic parties as usual this summer, or to
discontinue the practice. A great many of
the brewers will refuse to sell, upon the
ground that it is violating the spirit of the
license law. Others claim it is not, and the
matter will be submitted to legal counsel
for an opinion. Among the largest brewers
who will refuse to sell to picnics are Frau
enheim & Yilsack, of the Iron City Brew
ery. They have decided not to run any risk,
notwithstanding what action the as
sociation may take upon the mat
ter. The other brewers who will re--'fuse
to sell to picnics will do so
because they believe they would be violat
ing Judge "White's interpretation of the
Brooks law governing brewers, who are not
permitted to sell to consumers. If Pitts
burg brewers will not sell to them, and if
foreign beer is entirely shut out of this
market, the action will have the effect of
wiping out the annual picnics of the Ger
man singing societies and other organiza
tions, where beer is a great item.
A Cut in Prices.
Another fact developed during the meet
ing was that the foreign brewers have be
gun cutting on the prices of the amber
colored fluid, in order to hold their trade in
this city, which has been partially paralyzed
by the License Court. It was stated at the
meeting that the Cincinnati and St. Louis
breweries are now quoting rates of $6
per barrel on their beer delivered in this
city. This is a cut of $1 per barrel within
the past two weeks. The home brewers are
apprehensive that the foreign breweries will
-get the trade, and they will theiefore do
what they can to prevent it Several of
those at the meeting said they reasoned that
if the foreign beer would continue to be
sold in Pittsburg and Allegheny it would
be a violation of the law, according to the
CRISIS
BEE
i:- opinions and rulings of Judge "White. The
". k ilatter stated that any brewer selling to an
. unlicensed saloon would be guilty of
,'" Violating the lair,
d if convicted, would haveliis license re
voked. They say the rule will also work
the- other way. If a licensed house buys
from 'an unlicensed brewery, the former will
also be in danger of having their licenses
revoked. The home brewers claim Judge
"White will not recognize the license of any
foreign manufacturer, and they will call the J
matter toJui attention.
If the foreign brewers do reduce the price
from 7, $7 60 and $8 per barrel, the Pitts
burg producers will have to meet the cut or
lose the business. The large decrease in the
number of saloons will cause aJarge falling
off in their receipts, and they cannot afford
to lose more by reducing the price of their
product. As one of them stated to The
Dispatch reporter yesterday:
5 "If we cannot seir.our beer to the 140
saloons in Pittsburg aad Allegheny, I would
like to know where we can sell it?"
Reply to 'Sqalre XesITr.
After the meeting 3r. EJ. Trauenneim
said:
' "Ye did nothing ie-day.feat conduct a

ing of apathy among them, .If they were
on the popular side they could get all the
money they want. Mr. Leslie's talk is like
a dying wail. He knows he is licked, and
is timid about saying so."
At the meeting to-day there were any
number of expressions of opinion as to the
campaign "outlook. Rvery man in the asso
ciation is just as confident that the pro
hibitory amendment will be defeated by a
large majority as they are of living nntil
that time.
JUDGE WHITE TO GO.

Habbisbubg, May 2. Messre. Lane and
McManes, with ex-Representative McGowan
and 'Mercantile Appraiser Martin, have
been here to-day in the interest of the
Judges'.salary bill, which was too far down
on the calendar to be reached to-night. It
will come up to-morrow, and the Philadel
phia leaders are confident of its passage
then. They claim to have gained 12 votes
for the measure and are not concerned about
the result.
The Allegheney members were labored
with but without result. All the members
of the delegation could not be seen to
night, but those who were seen said the Al

against the bill. It might have been differ

Allegheny saloons as he did.
There is a rumor here, not very well de
fined, that something is abont to drop in
Judge White''s case. Only one member of
the Allegheny county delegation knew" any
thing about it, and he, as soon as he discov
ered there" was any talk, left the House and
was inaccessible during the remainder of
the evening. According to one account
this gentleman said something was about to
drop. According to 'another he declared
Jndge "White wonld not be on the bench for
another six months. This may mean much
or nothing. It is likely it is merely an
echo of the wrath of the liquor men of Al

Atlantic City, and is ere long going to the
Bermudas.
SELLING OCT SALOONS.
Eighteen Enforced Sales Already Advertised

As yet there are only-three executions is
sued against unlicensed saloon keepers and
wholesalers. "The constables will .have
mnch to attend to," said one connected with
the Sheriff's office to a Dispatch reporter
yesterday, "and until judgment is secured
nothing will come into our office or appear
on the records which will be of interest to
you or your readers."
Subsequently it was found that in the
more prominent aldermen's offices con
stables' sale bills have been drawn up for 15
saloons in the heart of town so far.

THE PONY. EXPRES8.
How Can it be Suppressed Under the Brooks
License Lairf
Another problem now confronts ('hose who
wish to enforce the Brooks liquor law, and
that is, "How are you going to suppress the
peddler, or the pony expressman?" These
men have, it is said, or at least some of them
have, been doing a rushing business in
rushing the growler in the rural districts,
and the thirsty denizens of "Washington
and Greene counties in particular are said
to be able to explain the mode of opera
tions. It is said that a quart bottle of whisky of
almost any kind is a legal tender for $1 in
those counties, "and the peddlers, while not
holding themselves out as liquor dealers,
will furnish anything patrons want, from a
cambric needle to a wagon wheel, and it is
said they can make from $2 to $3 a gallon
carrying whisky. A fair article can be had
by the barrel at $2 a gallon, which sells
readily at $1 a quart, so that were the roads
0 bad that a team could only haul a barrel,
it could earn from $20 to $40 a day on a full
cargo of one barrel.
Numerous efforts have been made to sup
press these peripatetic smugglers, but with
out effect as they are supported by a rather
wiae expanse oi senumeni in me rural dis
tricts, and "even people who blow prohibi
tion with one breath are known to utilize
the p. e. m. when a little wine is needed for
the stomach's sake, .snake bites and other hu
man infirmities.
THE LICENSE PEES.
Exact Amounts to be Apportioned to City,
County and Boroughs.
A statement was prepared yesterday by
the County Treasurer of the money received
from the issuing of the licenses that were
granted by Judge "White. The total amount
received from all the licenses in the county
was $97,925. Of this $46,500 was for the 93
retail licenses in Pittsburg. The city's
share is $18,600, the county gets the same,
and $9,300 goes to the State.'
Nineteen thousand five hundred dollars
was for the 39 licenses" in Allegheny City;
$7,800 goes io the city, the same to the
countv. and $3,900 to the State.
The 35 retail licenses in the boroughs j

$1',575. $787 50 going to the townships and
5393 75 each to the county and State.
The. wholesale dealers, brewers, distillers,

rfTECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THX PISrATCH.t
Baxtimoee, May 2. The Maryland State
Temperance Alliance, now in session, spent
nearly two hours to-day discussing the cider
question. In those counties of the State in

I anc!BplSteeott; A resolution was there

The Baltimore delegates bfjeeted to this
resolution on the ground 'that cider in its
untermented state was a palatable drink,
andntlrely harmless. Thereupon Bev. C.
Hi-Fitzwllliams, of Dorchester county, said
'that he had once disguised, himself and
visited the places where cider was dealt out,
and found its effects were every .bit as in

said cider was more deadly,- and bas done
more harm than whisky or brandy. The
resolution was then adopted.
THE C0DET EEEED,
So Say Allegheny Citizens, in the Granting
of Liquor Licenses.
A meeting of cituens of Lower Allegheny
was held last evening, in the hall of the
Ninth ward school house. It was well at-
tended, and the following report of the reso
lution committee was presented and adopted :
Whebsas, But two houses have been grant.
ed licenses in the Ninth ward, and none In the
Eleventh ward, where a number of our best
citizens who, applied (having ample accommo
dation) were refused license, thus either cast
ing a reflection upon them, or determining
tho non-necessity for more public bouses.
Resolved, that in onr opinion the Court has
gravely erred (to the injury of worthy appli
cants, who have their money honestly invested
in a legally recognized business) in this: a ne
cessity exists for the granting of additional
licenses for public accommodation which were
refused.
Resolved, That by the action of the Court in
refusing a license to the McClure House, on
the Now Brichton road,in the Eleventh ward,
and the Eartman Hotel, in the Ninth'
ward, and other houses of good repute and
known capacity, the citizens and traveling pub
lic will suffer great inconvenience, for without
ana
pub-
these houses where and how will travelers be
accommodated in onr wards; they cannot be:
it is cruel to them and unjust to us to compel
them to go elsewhere. But such Is the ex
pressed action of our court through its Judges,
and we do not alone find fault with Judge
White; the court is composed of a number of
Judges, and the refusal of licenses Is the action
of the Court It is with surprise and sorrow
that we read in the public press what purports
to be Judge White's ultimatum. "I say now
and for all time, no rehearings will be granted
in any case, and will not under any circum
stances reconsider my decision."

.Fifty-Four Sending Saloon Keepers to
HaTe Their Licenses Revoked.
rtrxcux. telegram to tub dispatch,!
Beading, May 2. The Committee on
Safety threw a bombshell this afternoon into
the camp of the saloon men who haye been
selling on Sunday. Detective Lyon, em
ployed by the society, has already informed
on 14, and has the names of 40 additional
liquor men whom he charges with having
sold rum on Sunday, all of whom the so
ciety will promptly proceed against to com
pel the Court to revoke all of the 54 licenses,
for which $500 each has just been paid.
The list includes leading hotels and subur
ban places.
The society is composed of 50 leading
business men in the city and county who
have ample means to push all these cases
and compel the court under the evidence at
hand to remove all the licenses. Strangers
were sent here from Philadelphia to visit
the Snnday saloons and purchase liquor.
In two Sundays they said they visited 54
places and bought drinks, spending from
65 cents to $1 in each place.

rSFXCIAt. TELZORAM TO THE SlgTATCR.l
Jbfpehson Citt, May 2. The saloon
party secured a big victory here to-day.
Three months ago the temperance people
and high license people made a combina
tion for the purpose of pushing a high li
cense bill through, the Legislature. Public
sentiment indorsed the movement, and a
measure known as the Deering bill was in
troduced and two weeks ago passed the
Lower House. The bill provided that
$2,500 should be paid for a license, instead
of $500 as now.
It was sent to the Senate, and the general
opinion was that it wonld pass. The liquor
interest however, was -active, and in the
preliminary skirmish showed a strong hand.
To-day the bill was put on its final passage,
and was defeated 17 nays, 9 ayes. The sa

At the request ot the Executive Commit
tee of the association Mr. Curtis had pre
pared an address, which was read by the
Secretary. The address was mainly di
rected to an "analysis of the immediate situ
ation, and it was a close review of the action
and attitude of the new administration, so
far asthe former is in evidence and the lat
ter has been thereby revealed, in what has
become public, Bince'the 4th of March.
HIS LITTLE ANALYSIS.
In: making this analysis Mr. Curtis con
fined himself strictly to the Bepublican au
thorities, in the first place as regards the
-pledges and promises made before the ad
ministration took office, and in the second
place as to the history of what has occurred
and the manifestations of feeling evoked in
party circles thereby. Mr. Curtis said:
Our inquiry is simply how fully dnnngthe
first two months of the administration has the
President illustrated what he declared to be
bis sincere purpose of advancing the reform,
and how strictly has the party held him to an
honorable observance of its own voluntary,
pledges before the election.
Then followed the picture of what had
been the attitude of the members of the Be
publican party in Congress and of members
of Congress since the adjournment On
the latter point Mr. Curtis said:
The strict observance of that spirit and pur-
poso of reform by the partv at large

host of party office seekers and their unceasing
assault upon the President for place, and by
the Instance of a notorious Congressional
lobbyist, who was pressed for appointment to
an important position in the Postoffice Depart
ment by one of the most promi
nent and influential of the party
clubs. These are not solitaryases; they
are examples of the general manner in which
members of Congress and the various party
associations and active membersof.tha party
prove the sincerity of the platform pledges and
the party resolution' to' reform the civil
service.
ANxTHTKQ AGBEED TOOK.
It is in strict conformity with the executive
course thus far that it is announced that the
Secretary of the' Treasury has decided that
when a State delegation in Congress has agreed
upon a slate it will be adopted without delay.
The Secretary Of the -Interior also IsreDOrted
to have said that he is "willing and anxious to)
see ine UEmucmu buxueu out anu meir places
filled by good Bepuolicans," and be declines to
explain the remark. The Commissioner of
Pensions, In a public speech in the presence of
the Secretary of the Navy, stated with creat
applause that the President told him that In
the conduct of his office he should remember
the limitations of the law, but that he must
treat the boys liberally.
In the Postoffice Department the great
patronage department of the Government the
President's advice to the Commissioner of Pen
sions has been followed with unfaltering vigor.
The fourth-class postmasters, of whom there
are more than 60,000, whose offices, under the
spoils. system, are uniformly disseminated local
centers of party politics, are removed as fast
as the necessary official details will permit A
cyclone of chabge rages In this department.
Ability, energy, zeal, fidelity in the service do
not avail acalust the demand for spoils.
The appointment of the First Assistant Post
master General, who conducts the removals,
was in itself an earnest that this demand would
be heeded, and it is not surprising that the im
mense and incessant changes in the minor
postofflces are stated to have been sometime
made at the rate ot 1,000a week, or one in three
minutes- It will not be alleged that this gen
eral and ceaseless sweep Is required by tho
welfare of the service. It is not denied that It
is simple political prescripton. One of the
strongest of the chief Bepublican organs says
frankly: "The administration proposes, with
out cant or false pretense, to taKe the offices
without making trumped-up libellous charges
against Democratic office holders." It was
nevertheless the solemn declaration of the
party ot administration that "the spirit and the
purpose of the reform should be observed in
all executive appointments."
TBE PEARSON CASE.
Mr. Curtis then called attention io the ex
treme importance of the case of the New
York postoffice. which has been for manv
years by general consent the example of
what a reformed service should he, and in
the most unmistakable terms condemned
the action of the administration as false to
its pledges, most unjust to Mr, Pearson and
detrimental to the public service. Besolu
tions denouncing the spoils system were
adopted, as was also the following:
Besolved, That the thanks of this associa
tion be and they hereby are tendered" to the

'fSriCIAL TXZJEaBAtt TO THE DISPATCH.!
Beading, May 2. A volley of a dozen
or more rifle shots "was fired into a desperate
gang of foreign railroad laborers on strike
near Orwigsburg this afternoon. One Ital
ian was badly wounded and" two other;
slightly. All day long the rioters held high
carnival.' In fact, the trouble commenced
yesterday when the Hungarians and Ital
ians were refused an advance of wages from
$1 10 to. $1 25, as they bad demanded.
They were employed grading the new road
through the coal regions' from the Schuyl
kill to the Lehigh. Nearly 100 men on
Contractor Kern's section quit work, and,
armed with pickhandles.cart whips and
clubs, they marched out determined to com
pel every mn of the. 400 on the grade to
quit irork and join the strike.
Gaynor & Lee's men were first attacked
and driven into the ranks of the strikers.
The' rioters then marched to Contractor
Pickert'8 section. With a great noise they
rallied along the cut with a dozen stalwart
big-whiskered Italians leading. The strikers
.were warned off bv the boss in chartra - hut
TthVyJailed to heed. They were told" there
-were armed constables among the men. At
this the Italians attacked the boss with
clubs, and were about beating him to death
when the posse among Pickert's men seized
their Winchester rifles, hidden away in the
cut, and fired away.
The leader of the gang was the only man
shot at, the others having fired in the air.
lhe leader dropped, badly wounded. The.
others fell back, but the wounded man was
carried tothe shanties. "The Sheriff, with'
20 men, then arrived and arrested ten of the
ringleaders, which for a time quieted the
mob. At last accounts more trouble was
still feared.

Philadelphia, May 2. The hundreds
of thousands who witnessed the civic and,
industrial parade in 21 ew York, yesterday
cheered an old-time, yellow-painted coach
that occupied a conspicuous place in the
line. It had a high seat for the driver, and
in the rear a rumble for a liveried "tiger,"
just as many modern coaches have. It "was
claimed by the committee that it was the
old coach of General Washington,, aud to
add to the realism of the show, wax figures
of General Washington and Mrs. Washing
ton sat in the ancient vehicle.
But it was not "Waahlngtoa's coach at
all. The only connection between the coach
inline and the real Washington,, vehicle
was that the two were exactly similar, were
madebythe same man, and were imported
from England at the same time. In fact
the coach that the enthusiastic multitude
cheered in New York was the coach of the
old Powell family, of Philadelphia.
The Powell estate was located in West
Philadelphia. The old mansion made way
some years ago for the improvement along
Powelltoh avenue, and the estate was cut
up into building lots, on whichsow stand
new and handsome honses.
THE DUPLICATE VEHICLE.
For many years there was stored in the
Dunlap carriage factory, on Fifth and'But
tonwood streets, an old chaise that popular
tradition declared to have been the property
of General George Washington. It was
painted yellow and lined with leather, and
curious relic hunters would constantly visit
it and cut strips from the cushions as keep-.
saces. jut. jonn nougnton, ot wanamaker
& Brown, .16 or 18 years ago conceived the
idea of using the carriage as an advertise
ment, and on the occasion of Washington's,
birthday ha hired it He secured the six
black horsy that hauled President Lincoln,
through tbo city, and with a band ahead,
drove in a public parade, distributing hand
bills.
During the Centennial year it was the in
tention. of the firm to purchase the coach
and have it suspended in the light well of
Oak Hall as an attraction for patriotic cus
tomers. The price set on' it by the gentle
man in whose possession it wasj.was$350
Borne-doubt had-beva cast-onrtftfgeiraftienejsN

Houghton learned. that the carriage
BELONGED TOJCHE POWELL FAMILY.
The only surviving member of the family
who was in a position to throw light on the
truth or falsity of the claimi'was Mrs. Mary
Powell, then living in Newport, E. I. He
wrote to a friend in Newport and asked him
to see Mrs. Powell.
In a short time a long letter came to Mr.
Houghton from Mrs. Powell, which resulted
in breaking off all negotiations for the pur
chase of the alleged Washington coach.
Mrs. Powell in her letter, declares that the
chaise in question had never been the prop
erty of Washington. She said it was one
of Xwo that were imported from England be
fore the Revolutionary War. The maker
accompanied them, One of these vehicles
was for the Powell family and the other was,
for General Washington.
The Washingtons' coach, Mrs. Powell,
said, was taken to Virginia, and some years
after the death of the President, was broken
up. The spokes of the wheels and other
portions were distributed as relics among
the firstfamilies of "Virginia, and many of
them are prized to-day. The hammer cloth
was given to an Episcopal church jn Vlr
ginia.as au altar covering, and so far as
Mrs. Powell knew, was still used. As to
the Powell coach, the writer said that
WASHINGTOir OHLT USED IX OSCE,
the occasion being when he was conveyed
irom unnst unurcn to ine x-oweii mansion,
in West Philadelphia, where he dined.
When the family ceased to use the coach it
was stored in the Dunlap factory, and there
remained.
"There is no doubt," said Mr. Houghton
to-dav, "that it was the Powell coach that
was drawn in the parade in New York yes
terday. When I got the letter from Mrs.
Powell we abandoned our efiorts to. bny it
It was sold to an enterprising showman who
exhibited it as Washington's coach during
the Centennial, and photos of it were sold to
the curious at 25 cents each. I suppose it

Washington; May 2. A letter has
been received at the office of the supervising
architect from W. J. Brennan, Esq., attor
ney for John Holland, stating that Super
intendent Malone is violating the contract
between M. A. McGowan, contractor
for the stone ' work of the build
ing, and Mr. Holland, who has
the contract for delivering stone from the
railroad to the Government" building. The
assumption is thatMr. Malone is so anxious
to supplant Democrats with Republicans
that he will not allow a little obstacle
like a contract to stand in the
way. Mr. Brennan stated in . his
letter that he believed the Government had
recognized the contract with Holland, and
inquiry by the correspondent Of xhe .dis
patch elicited the information that this is
the fact and the law clerk of the office 'gave
the opinion that Mr. Holland couldn't be
interfered with except by action of the
highest authorities ot the department
The law officer of the architect's office
also ventured the opinion that under the ar
rangement between Contractor McGowan
and the authorities' of the department, the
resident Superintendent could not remove
certain master workmen on the building,
and that Ginity, the dismissed rigger,
was one of these- Chief Clerk McLean said
that' while Mr: Malone had dismissed
Ginity his action had cot yet been approved,
and would not be, at least, not before the re
turn of Supervising Architect Windrim,
who has been absent for some days. The

That Caased Alleged: Experts to Eraacssea Him Vt '
terry Incurable.
The Coroner has commenced an investiga
tion into the case of Robert Burns, who was
killed. by ill treatment in the Chicago In
sane Asylum. The reporter who. discovered
the facts by feigning lunacy was on the
ground. He unfolded a tale of hideous aaet
revolting cruelty. When., the reporter's
friends secured his release from the asylum
the Superintendent and physicians declared
he was incurably insane.
Chicago, May 2. Coroner Hertx and
jury to-day began .an investigation, into tke-:
cause of death of Ro bert B urns, a patient ta .'
the insane asylum at Jefferson. Attendants. .
Richardson, Crogan and Pecha, who are.' '.
charged with beating him to death, were
present The dead man's widow and her .
brother testified .that Burns was in good,.
health when he was sent to the asylum, andU
that the only abrasion on his body was oa
one of his legs, which had been injured. .,
The most damaging testimony was that of -Charles
Beck, a reporter who successfully
played the insanity dodge and was admitted
to the asylum, where he was an eye-witness
to much of the brutal treatment which re
duced Burns in ten days from a strong man
to a complete physical wreck;, resulting is '
his death.

The story was one of the most revolting -and
heartless cruelty. The witness. detailed
at great length the repeated acts of brutal
ity -which the three accused attendants in-,
Aided npon the unfortunate manv He de
clared that the patient was not unruly, but
seemed dazed and incapable of understand
ing what was wanted of him.
Reck said that npon their arrival at the .
asylum they were given cold baths, then he . '
and Burns were) left shivering in a coldj " -room
for 15 minutes, then after examination
by the doctors, the attendants took charge
of. them. Burns was ordered to sit on a
bench. He seemed not to understand and
did not do so, whereupon he. was violently
thrown down upon it '
Rising, in a dazed and helpless war, at-(
tendant Richardson kicked, him violently
in the abdomen. Burns again: arose and
tried to walk away, when Riehaxdsoa
caught him by the collar and threw, him to
the:floor. And so the brutality continued,
the three attendants, Richardson, Crogan
and Pecha, each taking part in it, kicking
the helpless lunatic in the side and stomach,
striking and cutting and bruising his face
with their fists.
ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.
.They undertook to dress his wounded. leg,
jerking him-about roughly and causing him
excruciating agony, meantime continuing
their blows. When this was done Crogaa
picked no one eJ Burns' shoes. ancLtakin?

victim with his own blood.
By this time he was in a semi-comatose
condition and was fast losing consciousness.
He was then jerked ont of 'his seat.which
was covered with blood that had run down '
from his head. That night the witness and
Burns were put into the same cell. Burns
was ordered to remove his clothes, but sot
complying, was slapped and cuffed.

were there. Then a mop and a pail of water
were brought, and the door was closed and
locked.
TOO INSANE TO BE BELEASED.
The attendants evidently came to the con
clusion that the witness was too inquisitive,
and he was removed to another part of the
bnilding. The reporter came out of the
asylum at the end of ten days. Burns was
then reduced to a skeleton, and was a sal
low, hollow-eyed idiot.
The reporter told how, when friesda
secured his release, Dr. Kiernan, the super
intendent of the asylnm, shoot his head
ominously and advised against it He de
clared the reporter to be incurably-insane;
that he knew this because he hadwatched
the case very closely. Dr. Schubert, of the
staff, concurred in this opinion. A recess
was then taken' by the Coroner.
I Superintendent- Kiernan, of the) insane
asylum, is having a troublous time as the
result of Robert Burn's' death there at the
hands of his attendants. He was summoned
to appear before the Coroner to testify in
the inquest He was also notified that the
grand jury would visit the asylnm this
afternoon, to look into the condition of
affairs there. He elected to remain at the'
asylum to meet the more angustbody.

Morton, started to accompany his fickle

at her one ball striking her in the breast,
Inflicting a probably fatal wound.
Thinking thct he had accomplished his
