seized him by the throat and cast him several
yards upon the ground, tearing his shirt

COST OF CHURCH.
A we'll known citizen of high position
directed your correspondents attention to a
very handsome stone church, and said, I"
would like you or this committee Of
investigation to learn before you
leave st. Peter who built that
church. What think you it cost? or perhaps
you are not versed in such matters. THr
GLOBE committee of one Indignantly repel.
led the insinuation that GLOBE man could
be ignorant of anything, especially church
architecture, and at once estimated the
structure to be worth from $4,000 te
$4,000, according to inside fittings. "That
church, sir, "said the gentleman, "cost Sc, 900
but tell that committee to inquire whether
the State built it or the congregation"
Last evening Hons.M. Doran, Al. Edger-
ton, w. s. Drew and A. E. Rice, members of
the committee, arrived, and this morning, as
MIR. Morton, of St. Paul, was not present
they determined not to proceed with their
inquiry to-day. Your correspondent called
upon Mr.. Kerr, the secretary of the board OF
trustees, and asked that gentleman if he
knew anything about the intention of the
board, to which he replied he did not he
had heard that some of them were in town,
but he had seen nothing of them. The
trustees were ready, he said, for the fullest
inquiry.
MOVEMENTS OF THE COMMITTEES.
Back again to the hotel, Mr.. Doran
was sought out and asked what his plans were
for the day. He said he hardly knew. The
first thing was to seek room in which to
hold their inquiry, but nothing would be
done till Mr.. Morton came. Overhearing an
order given for carriage, The GLOBE man
mittee, and asked if he could accompany him
and the committee. Mr.. Doran was sorry,
but there would not be room. Across the
street to Cashion's livery stable, the man OF
news fastened, and being told the carriage
was ordered to take the gentleman to the
asylum, he reques ted Cashion to hitch up
a horse Immediately, and only few mo-
ments elapsed before your correspondent
was on the road. BY taking the back streets
he was soon ahead of the carriage, and ar
rived at the institute before it. When the
committee arrived at the old asylum they
were met by DR.. Bowers, who asked them
into his Office. The committee entered, and
asked permission to 60 over the institution
and see the patients. Dr.. Bowers replied
that he was instructed by DR.. Bartlett if the
committee presented themselves to send
them up to the new asylum to him, Or send
for him.
Mr.. Doran said he did not wish to see DR..
Bartlett just then, but the inmates.
DR.. Bowers replied that he would rather
the gentlemen of the committee did not in
sist in the absence of DR.. Bartlett, but if
they did insist, of course he would show
them over.
Seeing how matters stood, Mr.. Doran
proposed to the committee to drive at once
to the new building or asylum proper.
When they arrived here they were received
by DIR. Bartlett.
TILT WITH DIR. BARTLETT.
DR.. Bartlett-Will you be seated gentle
men?
Mr.. Thank you, we would rather be
walking round; this is my first visit
to an institution of this kind, and have a
little curiosity to see it. have visited State
prisons tut not State asylum.
Mr.. Doran Did you stay long?
DR.. Bartlett-Have you called upon the
trustees, gentlemen?
Mr.. Doran-No, we have not. We saw
Mr.. Brown last night and met Mr.. Schimmel
this morning on the street.
DR.. Bartlett-At the last quarterly meet
ing committee was appointed to meet the
committee of investigation whenever they
might come, and go over the building with
them. They will be here in about ten min
utes if you will be seated and wait.
Mr.. Doran-We do not care to meet any
committee and would prefer to go over the
institution without any formality.
DR.. B.-I am acting under the instructions
of the trustees, that should

the room.
Mr.. Doran-Gentlemen I don't know
what you may think, but am going back
again. don't propose to have our action
trammeled in this way.

drove back into town.
WHAT BARTLETT AND KERR SAID.

this action of the committee. Soon he ap
peared and inquired where the committees
were. He was informed; upon which hi
said he had only stepped out of the room tt

they would have got mad. He inquired il
Mr.. Doran sWore and showed temper. HI
said he knew they were coming, for as soo1
as they started he was advised by telegraph

the old, or temporary institution, and the
new one, or asylum proper.
While the reporter and the doctor were
talking, Mr.. Kerr drove up, to whom DR.
Bartlett explained the situation. Mr.. Kerr
said that DR.. Bartlett had acted rightly, anc
if they came again he was to telegraph to tn.
directors. That if the committee wished tx
