Columbia Hospital for women-Annual re-
pert OF the Board Of Director.
The Secretary Of the Interior Ia in receipt Of
the annual report Of the Columbia Hospital for
Women and Lying-in Asylum. The report gives
showing Of the operations Of the Institution
from lts commencement March, 1893, TO the end
Of June Of the present year. AZ the last session
Of Congress an appropriation for the purchase Of
the present building occupied by the hospital,
corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and Twenty-nfth
street, was made. Accompanying the appropria-
ton for the purchase was one for repairs and
alterations, which, with the amount on hand, is
sufficlent to provide for the present alterations
and give abundance Of room for the free and
number Of rooms for the pay, patients. The
committee appointed to carry out these repairs Of
the building consist Of General J. X. Barnes J.
T. Mitchell, ESQ.,, and Hon. George Taylor, who
secured the services OF Mr. Edw CLARK, architect
Of the Capitol extension, who has charge Of the
work, and gives his labor gratuitously. 10 rela-
ton to the charge Of the enemies Of the District
that the people Of the latter are unwilling to sup
port their poor, the report says that the old city
government and the present District government
have done their full share toward such Of the In
mates Of this Institution az were properly charge
| able to the District, and have made the necessary
appropriations promptly and generously, aud
have In no way drawn on the General Govern.
| uncut TOT tue support OF thelr local poor.
by comparing the reports Of this Institution for
the last two years with the reports OF almllar
institutions In other parts Of the country, II will
he found that, In proportion to our nxed pOpnla-
tlon, we furnish gratuitously medical and aurg-
cal aid to At least twenty per cent more patients
than are relieved at the hospitals In New York
Philadelphia, and other large cities The lists Of
deaths that have occurred At the hospital are
very much below the average, and during the
last four years no. one single death has occurred
a. the result Of surgical interference, although
during that time large number Of very lmpOr-
tant operations have zen performed, all Of
which were successful. rhe number Of patients
treated At the hospital his year Is more than
double that Of last year, and nearly a. many as
the four preceding years. The number Of out
door patients admitted during the year ending
June 30 last was tiO9; indoor patients, sol; total
I,bTs; number cured, S,TOs relieved, sol; died, u.
OF the total number OF patients a,9S5 were Amer
leans, ASIA were from the District Of Columbia,
LOIS from virginia, and SI6 from Maryland.
since the estAhlishmCnt Of the hospital, March,
1895, i,4S6 patients have been treated. or this
number s,I56 were cured, and LOST were re-
Iieyed. When the pending improvements are
made the hospital will accommodate from 70 to
100 patients. Al the present time there are but
- indoor patients under treatment although the
| number Ia usually much larger.

MISSING LouIsvILI.E MERCHANT.

'NA'HFAAHN@ AapA AF"NAAAah "hAAA
Probably Murdered by broadway TLIeyes.
Superintendent Bllgh, chief Of the Louis
isyllle detectives, arrived In New York on
Sunday to assist In searching for Mr. George
y. Pcay, tho Louisville merchant, who has
been missing since the lIth inst. Detective
Bligh confirms what has been said Of Mr.
Peay's foremost position In LOusville's social
and business circles. lie says that the mis-
sling merchant was widely known as gentle
man Of honesty; that bis family relations
were the happiest possible; that he was worth
not far from $4,000. and fas the prospective
heir to a fortune. -HIat-.
The detective adds that he was not a drink
Ing man; that he never was known to asso-
ciate with gamblers or abandoned woman:
and that he was one Of the most careful men
Of forming acquaintance he ever knew.
Detective Bligh scouts the notion that the
missing merchant has RbscOnded with the
money given him to settle friends accounts
on the ground that he Is worth twelve times
as much money W. he would gain by 10 doing.
There has been nothing connected with HIS
family affairs that could lead to suicide, aud
that he walked of the wharyes Into the river
while Intoxicated Is disprOyed by the fact that
he never was known u be intoxicated, aud
was perfectly sober when last seen by Mr.
Martin at the BTandrcth house.
The detective believes that Mr.. Peay has
been murdered. lie thinks that some person
whom Mr.. PeGy met after his arrival In New
York waylald him while he was going from
the BrandTeth House toward the st. Nicholas
Hotel, and decOyed him on from Broadway.
lie says that none but an acquaintance could
have attracted his attention, so guarded was
Mr.. Peay toward strangers. Detective Rogers
has held TO the theory Of murder from the
first some Of the other detectives have eX-
pressed a belief that the man has been drown
cd or that he has abscOnded. Mr.. j. Speed
Peay, brother Of the missing merchant, and
Mr.. Lafayette Joseph, who jOurneyed to this
city to assist in the search, started for Louis
vile last night. Detective Bligh will remain
aud continue the search with the New York
detectiyes.-b, Y Times, 25gt.
