Another "Tewksbury AlmshOuse" Case
CHICAGO, August 26.h.-A correspondent
describes q frishtful condition of affairs in
the Marshall county poorhouse, nesr Mounds
vile, West Virginia. The advent of new
Superintendent has developed abuses and cru
elites Of a most sickening character, and an
investigating committee is earnestly called
for. The infrmsry is an old, dilspidated
structure far from weather-proof, containing
nine rooms. Of which only four-the smallest
in the building-are devoted to the use OF the
inmates. There are twenty-one inmates
d.
idiots, sick and eripples-who are crowded
unfortunately together ia these rooms, eat
ing and sleeping in the same apartments, re-
gardless of age, sex or condition. Modesty
is of courSe unknown, and the most revolving
cruelties and 6ebaucheries are limited at,
which, il tue, are q disgrace to any civilized
community. Citizens who claim to know, as
sert that when the facts are known, the
recent Tewkshury developments will be
thrown far into the shade.

the first to discover the fire. He gave the

OF 80 feet, rs had one leg badly hurt. John

age, saved his wife and girls and two of his
boys, Willie and Jsmes. In second al
tempt to return he was driven back by the
flames. Little George Mclaughlin reached
the roof; canvas was spread in the street
below, and he was told by his father to jump
into his arms, The boy brayey jumped,
missed the canvss, and YVES fatally injured
His mother. crszed with anguish, attempted
three times 20 enter tie burning building TO
| save her other boy, and received such injuries
before she could be secured that she is not ex-
pected to live. Mrs. Fred Savage and her
children, Katie and Maud, were suffOcated,
and their bodies were found where they had
bsen sleeping. The fire undoubtedly started
in Savsge's apartments and it is believed was
caused by kerosene lamp which one of the
brothers threw at the other. 1t is thought
| John Mcintosh may have had hand in
causing the ire. John Flynn, who slept in q
room near that occupied by the Savages,
states that just before the fire broke out he
heard some one cry, "For Gods sake, don't
| throw that ianpl" Mcintosh and the two
