CKUELTIEs TO THE INSANE.

A Witness Swearing that he was Paid to
Keep Away From the Investigation.
The investigation into the alleged bru-
taiities at Dixmont yesterday were of the
most sensational character. r. B. Parks,
a former attendant, testified that when
Carol, an insane man, was first brought
to the hospital his back was sore from q
blister !; but that, Notwithstanding this,
he was scrubbed with flesh brush over
the sore place. Soon afterwards Carroll
refused to take some medicine, aud an
attendant named Harper knocked
him down and pulled part of his beard
out. On one occasion an inmate named
Inman had been told to sweep out room.
He refused, and fight followed, in which
the patient was knocked down and jumped
upon by one of the attendants. He never
fully recovered from the injuries. Several
days after this light witness told the cir
cumstances to an attendant named Har-
per, who thereupon went to ward 8,
knocked Inman down, and kicked him
until he (witness) begged him to stop.
On cross examination Parks testified
that Ee had just arrived from Cincinnati,
whether he had gone on Saturday last with
money furnished by DR.. Wylie, one of the
physicians at Dixmont. After he arrived
at Cincinnati he had telegraphed to Dr..
Wylie for $50, and received a telegram
telling him to "hold the fort" and stay
where he was. The money arrived day
or two afterward. He agreed with Dr..
Wylie before he left that he would travel
under the name of P. Bask, and in this
name he received the telegram and money.
While in Cincinnati he had repented of
his action in leaving, and determined to
return. He consulted an attorney and tel
egraphed to Malcolm Hay. On Thursday
Mr.. Crawford, representing the Erie
Herald, which has been sued for libel by
the Dixmont authorities, arrived, and in
company with him he returned to Pitts
burgh, arriving just in time to take the
witness stand.
DR.. Wylie, assistant superintendent Of
Dixmont was placed on the stand. He
denied that he had hired Parks to leave
the city. He said that Parks came to
him to borrow $50, and he gave it to him.
That after his arrival in Cincinnati he
telegraphed that he was sick and needed
money, and he forwarded $50 to him. The
'.bold the fort" telegram, he said, was to
cheer Parks up.
The appearance of Parks was a great
surprise to the Investigators. The CON-
mittee adjourned to meet in Harrisburg
on Tuesday next.

Col. MCCLURE refuses to give to the
committee investigating Delaney the
names of the witnesses he has to Delan-
ey's turpitude. We think that is hardly
fair to Delaney. Suppose Delaney does
intend to sue the Times for libel where.
fore should that prevent the Times from
vindicating before the commit
tee the truth of his assertions =?
If he can show them to he true, it will
help him, ore would think, to win his
libel suit, if Delaney should ever recover
sufficiently to bring it. Whereas, if he
cannot show this, it may as well be dem,
onstrated now as at any time, and De-
laney is entitled to have iG done. The
committee should exhaust the subject.

TIE NEW MARKET HOUSE.

The Location for the Market Agreed Upon.
At the adjourned meeting of the sub
scribers to the project of an east end mar
ket, in the orphans' court room last even-
ing, Mr.. X. J. Houston gave some account
OF the exper ence of the northern market
company. The land upon which it is built
cost them $50, 600, and the building cost
$50, 600. Cash was paid for stock to the
amount of $50 900 aud a mortgage given
for the other $50, GOO. The receipts Of the
compony average 81, O00 per year and their
annual expenses are about 81 900 including
tho salary oil the janitor, secretary, treas
urer, taxes, etc. They have now paid off
all their debt but a few Thousand
dollars. But tho founders Of that
market labored under a great many d.s-
advantages. A day market was nOvsltS
and people were prejudiced against it.
They also tried costly experiments which
did not pay. Night markets werG a
failure, as they made big gas bills and
besides the farmers did not like to be away
from home SO late. As building can be
done more cheaply now, it is
estimated that building like the
northern market can now be erect
ed for $4,000, which with cost
of land would make the eastern market
cost 10000 As the building will be the
same size as the northern market, the
income should be about the same, and
! the tax being a little less-the expendi-
lures will not bs greater, SO that there
will be net income of about 81 900, and
the directors enabled to declare dividend
of about 8 per cent.
for determination, after some discussion,
! n Dto fnG Ar II Nv Holm nj a
| motion to purchase the site No. at the
corner of East King and Church streets,
consisting of the Bard, Eshelman and
Carpenter properties, fronting on East
King and front of 100 feet On Middle
street, Of the MacGOnigle property price
| $21, 500. 1t was agreed that a majority
of the stock should assent to whatever
site was selected, and No. 1 was chosen
| by an almost unanimous vote. Tho ovners
of the property will extend the time for
payment until the required amodat of
stock can be paid in. 1t was decided that
| the stock be paid for in five monthly ir.
stallments, $40 per month, beginning on
| April Is also that the subscription
books be closed on March 30, and that the
! stockholders meet On the same evening at
8 o'clOck to decide what further steps to
! take.
John A. Coyle, L. 8. Hartman aud G..
A. Fondersmith were appointed COM
mittee to promote the opening of Shippsn
street.
Mr.. Ssner and others offered to increase
their stock subscriptions but, at Mr. Hous-
toms suggestion, this was not done ut
present as he thought that AS the farmers
are to be asked to subscribe, they should
be given an opportunity to subscribe for
all the stock they wanted. He thought it
important that the farmers should be in.
terested in ths project. If, at the next
meeting, there is not enough stock taken
to warrant the building of the market
house, then he thought it would be time
enough for the present subscribers to
increase their subscriptions

OVER SIXTY IMMIGRANTS DROWNED
The Ship Navarro FOUNDERS at Sea During
Yesterday's Severe Gale.

the Ship Navarro FOUNDERS at Sea During
Yesterdays Severe Gale.
The steamer Navarro foundered during
the gale of Friday, while on her way from
Copenhagen to Leith. There were 81 per.
sons on board the ill fated steamer at the
time of the disaster, most of whom were
immigrants, and only 16 of them are
known to be saved. On Tuesday, when
about 200 miles from Christiansund, the
Navarro was struck by heavy sea. The
cargo shifted and on Wednesday the fore
hold filled. As the ship went down, a
fishing smack hove in sight and ten men
launched boat and reached it in safety.
Unfortunately, they then allowed theil
small boat to 60 adri(t.
The smack sailed round the sinking
steamer, but having no boat was unable
to render her assistance. The emigrants
in the meantime were clinging to the
rigging, the sea washing over them. In a
short time another smack arrived on the
scene. Fifteen of the Navarre'S men
endeavored to reach her in another boat.
but it swamped, and all its occupants
were drowned. A steamer arrived at the
spot only in time to rescue six persons,
who were struggling in the water, as the
Navarro was fOundering. Altogether, six
of the crew and ten passengers were saved.
Most of the Navarre's passengers had
intended embarking for America imme-
diately on their arrival at Leith.
The Dutch fishing smack, which picked
up five of the Navarre's passengers, has
arrived at Hull. Their names are Ander-
son, Hazelberg, Nygren and Mannall.
Miss Alexander Holtz and Swede, who
was bound for Minnesota, and who lost
his wife and four children, have also ar
rived at Hull. n. Mapnall is an emigra-

on Tuesday, and from that time until the
vessel sank drank to keep up his spirits.

respectable authority. The distinguished
Hebraist, DR. Green, of Princeton, is ol

Captain Thorwegan, of the steamer
