loud crash and a Jar. The train came
to a standstill, windows were raised,
and heads thrust forth, while lights
waved TO and fro. Helms companion,
with many others, left their seats TO as
certain the cause. Upon returning,
they brought intelligence that a freight
train, en- route TO New York, was i'm
bedded in a snow-drift, blocking up the
entire line. and to continue the journey
would be impossible for several hours.
There were 8 few scattered houses, or
rather cottages. at a short distance, and
several of the passengers decided to
seek a nights shelter there, rather than
remain in the stationary cars.
Upon Helen's companion inquiring
which she would prefer, she quickly
replied that if it was possible to obtain
aam;ttance atsome house until daylight,
instead of proceeding Oh that ill-omened

THE CONDITION OF THE INSANE.
What Should Be Done TO Care for the UnfOr-
tunate-Sample County POOr-HOuses.

81 tell you" said a gentleman to the reporter
yesterday, that the Democratic scheme to build
three new hospitals for the insane is fraud.
They will cost, completed, at least, $500, 600.
All the insane in Indiana that you could possibly
get togeter outside of those now in the Hospital
for the Insane, will not-number a thousand-not
anywhere near that cumberland $l50000 spent
in an addition to the institution in this city
would amply provide for every one of them and
for all reasonable demands for many years to
come. Not one of these three new hospitals
can be built and made ready for occupancy
inside of six years, and in the mean
time what is to become of the insane
who are llenneled in the filthy dens called poor
houses over the STATED The board which is
Democratic, with Governor Porter at its head,
should STOP if it is possible to do So the building
of all of these but one, and go ahead on that,
complete and equip it in one year, and let the
others go for future legislation. 1 would say
finish the one at Evansville with the money on
hand, and stop the others DIR. Fletcher says
that there is room for 250 women at the Hospital
for the Insane, and know the board has money;
but. stated by the Journal, 1 believe they
hold on to it to make good financial showing
and q record of economy, at the expense of the
good name of the people of this State"
The reporter, on inquiry, finds that the daily
expense per capita of maintaining patients at
the hospital for the insane is little less than
eighteen cents and the institution has saved
over $4,000 during the past six months, the
most expensive months in the year The two
hundred and forty or fifty women, who are now
Gagged like beasts in the poor-houses over the
State, cost more for maintenance than that in
the several counties among which they are dis
tributed; but for the sake of humanity
and decency the question of expense
should not stand in the way of doing
what is so obviously necessary, the removal of
of the wretched insane women from the poor
houses to the State hospital. The reporter is
informed that woman returned from here to
one of the northern counties as an incurable,
but who is in every way harmless is kept in the
poorhouse of that county, naked, in pen. The
same county that holds one of the largest and
most handsomely endowed educational institu-
tions in the State contains one of the worst of
the county asylums, poor-house in which the
sexes are allowed to mingle without restraint,
and where recently an insane woman was vic
tim of outrage by tramps

During the balloting the convention was in a
state of intense excitement, but when it was
found that Ross was nominated the enthusiasm
of his friends became uproarious. The names of
Harding and Bevile were withdrawn on the
third ballot, and before the announcement of
the result Major Gordon moved to make the
nomination of Ross unanimous,
which was done by laundering
vote. Major Ross briefly responded
to the calls for him, thanking the convention for
his nomination, and Mr.. Patterson in a most
manly way, said that Major Ross would have his
hearty support.
The names proposed for the nomination for
treasurer were Thomas F. Quill, Henry F.
Fletcher, David j. Robertson and Hezekiah
Smart. The balloting was as follows:
