CHARITIES AND REFORMS.

From the annual report of the State
Board of Charities and Reform we t'te
the following extracts relative to Jefferson
County:
The Jail was visited by the Board July
Is. 1t was clean and in general good
condition. We must still protest against
the policy oe shutting off fresh air and
light by high board fence close to the
windows of one side. At the time of our
visit there were five prisoners, one wait
ing trial. one insane and three tramps.
The case of the young man held tor
trial for assault with intent to kill, seem
ed to be a hard one, and showed the need
of some officer whose duty it is to protect
the interests ofpoor and friendless persons
charged with crime, so as to prevent sub
stantial injustice being done under the
forms Of law. The insane man was work
ing in the garden, and is much improved
by having something to do out doors.
He is in iai! as dangerous man, liable
to set buildings on fire.
This insane man has since apparently
recovered by the influence of fresh air,
sunshine and gardening, and we hear has
been set at liberty.
This jail has had 1852 prisoners, of
whom three were sent to the state prison.
Eighteen were under age and under 16.
Seventy-seven were for drunkenness and
101 for vagrancy. Jefferson county
needs stone yard like that IN Dane
county. IF the tramps have to work they
will stay away.
There are police stations or lock-ups re-
ported in WATERFOWL, Fort Atkinson,
Palmyra and Waterloo.
Watertown police station was visited
July Is, by the board. The location is
in the basement of the engine house.
Going down a steep, narrow, rickety
flight of steps, we found several rooms all
but one of which were totally dark and
unventilated. The sleeping accommo-
dations consists of two or three dirty
blankets and the soft side of board.
A new police station is greately need
ed and as there is tramps' resort near
the junction, the city authorities were
visited and advised to provide work tor
all tramps, as the best means OF keeping
them away.
There have been 104 different prison
ers during the year, of whom four were
women. Of the prisoners, 10 men and
four women were FOR drunkenness, and
all the rest were Migrants. The largest
number at any one time was twelve.
Fort Atkinson has wooden lookup
and has had Is drunken men and 20 yag-
rants during the year and one man fol
an alleged state prison ofense, besides
several vagrant dodgers.
Palmyra has a wooden lookup. Nc
report of prisoners is made.
Waterloo has small wooden lookup
No report of prisoners has been made.

A HORRIBLE affair is reported from
Georgia. A gang..of a 100 state convicts,
chained together, were being transported
on platform cars, en- route for work at
wood-rutting. The train stopped at a
station, portion of the gang getting off
the cars, still chained fast to those on
board. The train started suddenly, and
those who had got off, being unable to
get en- the cars, were dragged over the
rails and ties for some distance, feet fore
most. Six of the untortunates were SO
badly mangled that they are not expect
ed to survive.

LAST Saturday vote was reached il

LAST Saturday a vote was reached in
the House of Representatives on the
question of the admission of Lynch to
the seat in Congress held by Chalmers
from the ''shoe string district of Missis-
sippi. The Committee on Elections made
a report seating Lynch which was adopt
ed by the House by large majority. In
this disposition of the matter, nothing
but exact justice was done, it being little
short of usurpation for Chalmers to
have held this seat as long as he did.
The frauds perpetrated in order to sho"
authority for granting certificate o.
election to Chalmers were the most bare
faced and fragrant ever known.

A LETTER was received at Washington
few days ago by an applicant for pc
sition from Gen. Grant in reply to a re-
quest for his Endorsement, in which Gen.
Grant saws he has not recommended any
one for Office recently unless his opinion
has been requested by the President or
some member of his Cabinet. He has
made but one exception to this rule and
that was in the case of an army appoint
ment, which, if the best interests of the
service and justice to his great services
had been done, would have been made
years ago. He did not intend in future
to suggest or interfere in the slightest de-
gree with appointments.

One of the most gigantic monopolies
of the age has been created by the re-
cent consolidation of the Edison Ell, c.
tric-Light Company with the Gramme
Elect zeal Company in New York. BY
this combination the several large COM
panies that claim to control all the pat
ents applying to existing systems of light
ing by electricity are formed into one
monster organization. The Gramme
company was established in the latter
part of April, 1881, and, prior to the Join
ing of the Edison company, was COM
posed of the American Electric Com
pany, of New Brita n, Ct, the Brush
Electric Company, the Fuller Electric
Company, the Jablochkof Electric
Lighting Company, the United States
Electric Lighting Company, and the
Western Electric Light Company.
