ST. PAUL, November 24.-The legisla-
tive committee appointed last February
to examine into the charges ofcrueltyand
mismanagment in the Hospital for the
Insane at st. Peters, has been engaged
in investigating for three months, and
will probably make Il report to the
Governor tomorrow.
The Pioneer Press this morning pub
fishes copy Of the report, from which
it appeals the committee finds charges
of cruelty sustained in two cases on
which the death of the patient
was indirectly caused or hast
ened by i'll treatment. One man
being strangled by forcing food
down his throat, and the woman
being so scalded by leaving her careless
" in bath that death ensued,
John Belts and Mrs. Meyers, assist
ants in the hospital are responsible for
these acts. The report further shows

commend that the hospital board and

A proposition was made some time
ago To remove the postOtiicc from its

street. Special agent Henry was
here some days ago, investigating the
advisability of making the change, and
has made his report to the department,
condemning the building i'll which the
office is now located, and it is said, also
recommending that the removal be
made. 1t is urged on one side that the
present site is not central enough; that
it is not convenient to majority OF the
business houses; but this argument has
little weight. SO lar as convenience
is concerned, there is little choice be-

that she will be retained in the position,

proposed, the question is left to ballot,

Nurses and Goes at q Rapid
Speed Toward the River-Did
Charles Schweng Commit Sui
eide.
Last Saturday evening the Sisters who
have charge of the Wheeling hospital
were thrown into state of excitement
over the supposed suicide OF a man
named Charles Schweng, about % years
of age, who came from Cameron, Ohio,
and who entered the hospital on the
18th instant for medical treatment for
chronic diarrhaea and fistula, he having
been sufferer with the two diseases for
nearly two years. From what We could
learn of the affair, it appears that Satur,
day morning, the doctor, who attended
Schweng, ordered that his bed be moved
farther away from the window OF Ward
No. 2, it being the Ward to which ne
had been assigned upon entering the
hospital. According to directions,
the bed was moved near the centre OF
the ward, and in the afternoon, proba-
bly five minutes to four O'Clock, negro
man named Charles Lewis, who has
been man of Use at the hospital for
several wears, went into the room and
began to "chink" the cracks in the win
dow. When he begun his work,
Schweng asked him why he was stop
ping the cracks. The negro, who Is
somewhat deaf, understood Schweng to
say he wanted the top of the window
fixed and begun to do it, when Schweng
Jumped in deshdbWe from his bed, ran to
the door, thence down stairs into the
ward, on the south side of the building.
When he had reached the yard he ran
direct down the cmbankment to the
railroad, then out toward the
waters edge at which place it is sup
posed that he sprung into the water
and was swept down stream by the cur
rent of the river, the water of which
was raising quite rapidly, owing to the
recent rains. 1t is not definitely known
whether the man jumped in the river,
but an orphan child who was standing
in the ward at the time saw the man 90
over the embankmcnt rs described
above.
As soon as the man left the room,
which is located in the southwest corner
of the second floor OF the building an
other inmate of the ward, Martin
Murphy, told the negro that Schweng
had run out of the room. The negro
did not at first understand Murphy, and
was again told that Schweng had left
very unexpectedly. The negro started
after him and in his search, ran up
stairs to closet used by the sick, but
not finding him the negro started down,
but still he was unable to learn where
Schweng had gone, until one of the
Sisters, who was employed in cleaning
the inside of basement window
informed him of the direction in which
she saw Schweng going. The negro
man, with others, made dilisent search
for the missing man, but were unable
to gain a trace of him. Up to : o'clock
last evening the man had not been
found. 1t is said that on several occa-
sions he had told the Sisters, who Wis
tied the ward, that he was Il great deal
Of trouble to them, and it is believed
that in a fit of despondency he went to
the river and drowned himself.
Sci,weng was Il man OF medium height,
and quite light in weight, having been
an invalid for some time.
