The New Insane Hospital.

The board of commissioners for the addi-
tional State Hospitals for the Insane held a
special meeting at the Governors Office yester-
day to discuss the conditions of the finances of
the commission and the state of the progress of
the work. They decided that portions of the
work shall be covered to protect it from the
coming winter, and that the labor shall be con-
centrated upon certain other parts.
MIR. Pierre Gray, secretary of the commission,
said to journal reporter that the statement of
member of the city press to the effect that the
finances of the board were insufficient to meet
their demands, and that the work on the build
ings would, in consequence, have to be tempo
rarily suspended, is radically at fault AT present
all the material for the hospitals has been
purchased, and the only expenses to be met are
for the laboring hands The board has
no idea of suspendng work, or
of retrenching expenses. The available money
for the next four months is about $471, 900, and
when this part of the general fund is exhausted
the November collection of taxes will come to it's
relief The expenses from this time will be
about $40, 600 per month, and the total expendi
lures up to date amount to 1882, 0820l.
The new hospitals will cost the State at the
rate of s., 900 per patient and the drainage at
the Evansville hospital, alone, will cost SOC, 000
An error of $4,000 in copying the act appropri-
ating money for the new hospitals has been
discovered. The appropriation for the current
year, in the original BILL was $275, 900; and as
printed it is given at 1925, 600.

MR.. BROWNS REPLY.
His Version Of the Affairs of the Lumber
Firm Of Foster & Co.

An answer in the suit of Chaplin G. Foster
against Marcus L. Brown was filed in court by
the defendant yesterday. Mr.. Brown denies
each and every allegation in the plaintiffs COM
plant He asserts that the firm of C. c. Foster
& Co., in which he was p partner Endorsed the
accommodation paper of Foster, Blackman &
Co. until it became liable for an amount largely
in excess Of its ability to pay The
defendant claims that he repeatedly
protested against these Endorsements,
but that the plaintiff maintained that under the
terms OF the co-partnership he had the right to
make such Endorsements. Mr.. Brown says
that in 1883 he became convinced that Foster,
Blackman & Co. were insolvent, or would soon,
become involved, so that in their failure the
firm of c. G. Foster & Co. would become in
solvent, and its assets taken to pay the liablli-
tiles of Foster, Blackman & Co. He requested a
dissolution Of the partnership, and finally agreed
that the accounts should be considered
worth $1,000 less than their face
value, when a settlement was reached.
He denies that real estate was purchased
and a house built upon it for the benefit of the
firm, at an expense of 81, GAL 3d. and claims that
the real estate in question was purchased before
the formation of the partnership. The plaintiff
insisted that he should take this property in
payment of the amount due him when the part
nership was dissolved; but not desiring real es-
tate, the defendent claims that he offered to take
$500 less than the amount due him rather than
accept the property, which, however, he finally
had to take, and with it assume a mortgage in
debtedness of 1000 He claims to have known
no more about the book keeping during the last
tiff. He offered to join in the
employment of John G. McCutcheon to
make an examination of the books,
but the plaintiff refused to agree to the PROPOSE
ton because he did not want others to know the
manner in which the business of the firm was
conducted. The plaintiff proposed that one Mil
Ter should make the examination, but the de-
PENDANT says that he refused to give his assent
because he did not believe Miller competent
person. The defendant says that he allowed his
share of the profits to be used in the business of
the firm, and the interest on this money he
thinks would amount to 81, 000.
