An Inmate Of a LyinK-fn Hospital Compelled
to Scrub Floors and do the Work Of q
Healthy Woman.
Two OF three months ago, Mrs. Sarah stru-
bel came to this city from Pittsburgh to find her
relatives. She Was unable to learn there where
abouts, and being in ssdeIcate situa-
tion,' was recommended to go to
the Lying-in Hospital, No. 1856 Centre avenue.
This institution is said to be supported by pri-
vate contributions, and is managed by G. s.
Hamilton, Ii. D. Mrs. Strube1 WAS without
funds, and proposed to do light work for her
board, and WAS taken in. She had q
few articles Of furniture, and they were
deposited 10 one Of the rooms
After remaining in the institution about i've
weeks, she learned the address of "a brother-in-
law, Mr. Sullivan, who is in business on Lake
street, and went to his residence. While an n-
mate OF the hospital, instead CT being per-
nnitted to do light work. it is al
legged, she waa obliged to scrub
floors and perform the roughest kind of labor,
which did not at all agree with her. When
leaving, she demanded her furniture, but
let her have it. The other
day she visited Justice Walsh and caused writ
Of repIevin to be issued. When the case came
up for hearing, Hamilton presented bill for
910LS2 week-for the board Of Mrs. Btrubel,
and clained that he was justified in holding
the furniture until the bill was paid. Justice
Walsh ruled that the womau WAS entitled to her
property, and regretted that he had not the
authority to puniah Hamilton for his inhu-
manity.

gone out with an important lading, connected
with the new enterprise Of the Mercantile Asao-
citation, and that it is proposed to follow up the
San Domingo project
Garrison-Yes; number OF us merchants and
others have concluded that ne will accept the
bargain that the Government has refused This
is apart from all political considerations, and is
mere matter OF business.
Reporter-What shape has your action taken
Garrison-We have raised the money demand
ed and sent it out in the Tybee, and will thus
gain the control OF q part Of samana Bay, the
finest in the West Indies, and capable Of holding
ku6 u6f1S5 VI t410 HO11As
Reporter-You will have special rights and
privileges, and, I suppose, will be sort Of

Of money. and OF course We are not giving it for
nothing, but expect ample returns.

followed up with other Large expenditures for

will come after. We shall move cautiously and
be governed by circumstances
Reporter-Are only New York capitalists in
terested in the enterprise ?
Garrison-No there are capitalists OF Boston,
Philadelphia, and other towns in the movement.
Reporter-I suppose that many Of you have
long had mercantile dealings with those re-
gions
Garrison-Yes! ], for one, have been run
ming steamers to those islands, and as far down
as Brazil. have no connection with the Ad-
miniatration. and it ia matter Of business with
us ALL
.Reporter-What is the condition Of the island?
Is there much industrial activity there?
Garrison-There is q large export trade OF
coffee and other tropical products, but the point
OF the greatest Importance Will be the possession
