Tho Cheaper l'Isn.
We learned incidentally that during the pas:
.
itentiary from this county earned some SO
over his expenses, which sum has been remit
ted to our county treasurer, and We recon-
mend, In view OF the crowded and unsafe CON
ditiOn OF our prison, where solitary cOnfins-
ment is impossible for lack OF cell rOOm. that
application be made to the next Legislature for
an amendment to the law, SO that our judges
may, at their discretion, sentence long term
prisoners to the Eastern penitentiury.
Abuses by the COrOners.
We find u large number of inquests held an,,
post-mOrfcms made when the law does not
contemplate it, by coroner AMI deputies, often
forcing themselves into houses when persons
died OF natural causes, with famflies and
friends around them, which is an outrage and
Is done 10 make fees.
Isaac Must Refund.
Dr. G. ii. Brown testified that he had paid
Jurors In six cases OF inquest at SOY fifty
cents each and subsequently Coroner Mishler
drew tho fees mt 81 each from the county treas
urp. We find Isaac MiSnlcr indebted TO the
County of Lancaster In the sum OF thirty six
dollars s36 illegally drawn by him.
