A NEWSPAPER ROW.
The 81. PauI Pioneer Swallows Up IN Q
Minneapolis Tribune, but Won't
be Allowed 10 Digest It.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, April 22.-There is
q first-clsss newspaper row in progress
in this city to-day. The Pioneer Press
OF this city, itself q consolidated affair,
had arranged to consolidate with two
Minneapolis pspera, one q morning pa
per and the other an evening. The
Minneapolis Mail has already passed in
to the hands Of the consolidated associa-
ton, and is now issued by the new com.
pany. The removal Of the publication
office Of their only morning newspaper,
the Minneapolis Tribune, from Mime.
apOlis 10 st. Paul, where it was to be
published rs the Dual City Pioneer Press
and Tribune, aroused a very determined
spirit Of opposition among q copsidera-
bic number OF Minneapolis politicians
and business men. To thwart the
scheme, advantage was taken of chSt-
tel-mortgsge given by the Tribune asso.
citation for ten Thousand dOllars, but of
which the Pioneer Press company had
been advised, and were prepared to pay
at moments notice. The terms Of the
chRttel-mortgsge authorized the mort
gAgee to sell at any time after the matu-
rity OF the Indebtedness, with or without
notice, at public Cr private sale. A d..
mand was made for payment. The op-
ponents OF the proposed consolidation
obtained control Of the chRttel mortgage,
and yesterday afternoon proceeded 10
make the sale, as they claim, under the
terms OF the chattel-mOrtgsge, and held
the Office Of the Tribune throughout the
night, preventing the paper from being
issued this morning. At noon to-day
the situation remained unchangeI, both
parties claiming possession. Its live.
ly fight for the lawyers. Several Of the
leading members of the bar Of this city
are to day in Minneapolis, attending to
this business.

A TERRIBLE TALE.
UnraYeIIng the Horrors of the Gov
ernment LunatIc Asylum,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The testi.
mony before the committee on expepdI.
| tutes In the interior department to dsy
0isclOses q condition Of affairs at the
government lunatic asylum in this dis
tTiet more horrible than can easily be
believed. The principal witness was
George NJ. DaW, at one time a soldier
Ia the regular army, and afserward an
assistant at the asylum. His testimony
to-day fsirly curdled the bloot of those
who heard it 1t was a tale Of such
brutal treatment and neglect. He
swOre positively that many patients
there hsd been thrown into filthy cells
with nothing bCt a bundle of straw to
lie upon. Every morning 8 servant
would come around with Wheelbarrow
to remove the excrsmeDt, but the straw
was merely shaken up like the straw in
a stable and left in the cell. The pa.
TENTS only bed was left until it became
81 fetid that il had to be carted away,
when new bundle was brought in and
the PROCESS repeated, The most afro
ciojis csta cited was that Of a
certain General L0omis, 7ho rad
been an officer in the reg1laf army
When brought u tie asylum he was old
ana perfectly helpless; YET QIu
and helpless as he was, he was
left to wsllOw in his filth on the floor,
until, when the witness saw him, as he
said, the bones Of the poor mans shoul-
der blades, knees and slb5Ws hsd aetu-
ally worn through the flesh, and he was
'iterG'ly edevourAd with vernin. This
psti5nt anailz died there. Ths witness
also understood that UenSrSt Rowsrd
came once to see General Loomis, but
was told that be was asleep. Mrs. Muir
ply, another witness, testified that her
husband ,was sent there at the instance
Of a certain EoneTolsnt society In this
city. She called often to see him; al
ways found him covered with vermin
and often covered with severe bruises,
which her husband said were caused by
abuse. Finally be died there suddenly
one Wednesday. The preceding Satur-
day she saw him, and he was well, and
when they brought the body to her the
face was covered with bruises which
were not there Saturday. She believed
that his death Ras fastened by violence.
The committee are determined to probe
the matter to the bottom.
