Four men were subsequently arrested on

in finding a verdict of guilty. The Court
sentenced them to life servitude in the
State Penitentiary, where they are now
incarcerated. The attention of q. S. Dis

A SIDEWALK BONANZA. The Lancaster

A SIDEWALK BoNANzA.-The Lancaster
lPa.l Eraminer describes in the follow
ing how much it cost an official of that
city to find twenty cents: While walk
ing along Queen street one day last week
ne discovered two crisp ten-cent shin
piasters reposing conspicuously on the
sidewalk. He at once picked them up,
and exulting in his good fortune showed
them to some gentlemen of his acquaint-
ance. They suggested that such good
luck should be celebrated by treating the
crowd, and demonstrated to him that the
twenty cents would buy four glasses of
beer: The party at once adjourned to a
nelshboring saloon. There the gentle
man was astonished to find at least some
twenty OF his acquaintance apparently
awaiting his appearance. The friends
who came in with him took occasion to
tell of his good fortune, and the acquaint-
ances moved up to the bar with strange
unanimity. Not man of them took
beer. The demand for cocktails, smashes
and straights was certainly marvellous.
The bill for the entire treat was S6 40.
The gentleman has spent some DAYS
studying over the affair, and has come
to the conclusion that it was put-up
job. In other words some of his friends
had hid the twenty cents where he would
find it. He now says that if he were to
find so bill laying on the sidewalk he
would not pick it up"

THE STATE PRISON AFFAIR.

The reports of the experts appointed TO
examine the accounts of Warden Hvman
We're yesterday laid before the Board of
Prison Commissioners. and last night q
reporter of the Evening Chronicle was dis
patched to Carson to obtain a digest
thereof. His telegraphed report appears
elsewhere to-day. The result of the in.
vestigation cannot fail to satisfy every
impartial mind that Governor Bradlev
Was fully justified in his charges against
warden Lyman and in insisting nnon
an Investigation. To examine the prison
records two experts were appointed, but
only one OF them (Hanford) appears to
have done any work. Mr.. Eldridpe. curi-
ousiy enough, turns out to be the man
who kept the accounts which were to be
scrutinized. Whoever secured his an
polntment as an expert on his own ac-
counts may justly be supposed anxious
to hide rather than disclose the truth !:
for If fraudulent accounts were kept, the
man who kept them could not be expected
to use much diligence in exposing the
fact.
Hanford's report shows the Warden
had been in the habit of keeping pri-
vate account with the prisoners-sellino
them butter, sugar, tobacco, etc., on his
own account, they paying therefor with
money received from friends. or earned
In leisure hours by making small articles
OF handlwork. No accounts were kent
by which it could be demonstrates
whether or not the prisoners were fairly
dealt with. Hyman declared that all
goods thus sold to the prisoners were
purchased with his private money vet
when called upon to produce the bills for
these alleged private purchases, he was
unable to do so. A very significant cir
cumstance is that the stores paid for by
the State are found to be short in ouan-
uty about equal to that sold by Hyman
to the prisoners "on private account. ;"
Another significant fact is that when
Lyman was called upon to deliver the
prison books to the experts he pretended
to have done so, and in presence of the
Board declared that the experts had ex-
amlned all of the books. Expert Han
ford then asked if there was not a book
Kept OF over-task work - in the boot
and shoe shop, and the Warden was re-
iuctanly forced to admit that there was
1NO-- l.
amount of over-task work to have been
greatly IN excess to that shown by Hy-
mans sworn reports, thus squarely giving
the lie to those documents.
Eldridge. it appears, deferred making
any report until he had read Hanford' s,
after which he prepared. not a report,
but merely criticism of Hanford's re-
port. He does not, however, dispute
any of the statistical information of his
more industrious colleague, but assails
the conclusions drawn by the latter Mr.
Eldridge seems to have forgotten that he
was employed to collect certain facts and
not. to draw conclusions or pass judg-
ment. Upon this point. however, as Mr..
Hanford states, the Commissioners and
the public in general will draw their own
conclusions, and we feel certain that the
general verdict will be an Endorsement of
the course pursued by Governor Bradley
and a demand for an immediate change
IN the management of the prison Vir-
giTaid Chronicle.
