CHARITIES and Corrections.

WARRINGTON, June 6.-At the second day .
meeting of the Conference of Charities and
Corrections Mr.. VIM. Howard Neff of Gin
cinntti. ch airman of the Committee on Reports
from States, read the committees report. Not
withstanding all the efforts of the committee,
II had not been able to secure all the States.
Despite record of few failures, the report
was highly encouraging and the committee
suggested that its life be extended for another
year, and that all persons possessing knowl.
edge of matters of interest be invited to COM
municate freely. The report embodied all the
reports for the several States, which were r. ad
by the Secretary of the Convention or by dele
gates from the respective States. The reports
from several Southern States noted the quite
general reduction of the system of hiring out
convicts and the adoption of measures which
had tendency to mitigate the evils OF the
system. The report from Delaware noted the
mitigation of the severity of the whipping sys-
tenn. Blood was rarely drawn at present The
whipping post was in general favor with the
people of Delaware for the punishment OF
petty offences 1t was rarely found necessary
to administer second whipping to the same
offender
Ex-President Hoyt Of Pennsylvania read
paper this evening on "The evolution of the
prison." He advocated Classification of pri-
soners, separation of women and children and
male first offenders into classes and institu-
tions By themselves for reformatory treatment
but for hardened offenders and incorrgibles
contract labor as no better than convict
slavery
Chas. Dudley Warner made an informal ad-
dress. One thing most necessary in this
country at present, he said was discipline,
moral and intellectual. Thessame sort of dis
cipline he thought is needed in prisons as at
home and in schools and colleges.
of Interest TO Tired Office Seekers.
In response to food or applications for
positions as post Office inspectors the Post
master General selected $50 names Of persons

175 persons. A special committee was ap-
pointed to examine and classify these answers
and select from the most promising subjects.
About 30 applicants were rejected because of
advanced age. There were twenty applicants
from one state all endorsed by Senators of that
state, and as these appointments will be made

ing forwarded to the troops by boat from Bat

The Kennebec Journal says: "An attempt
wick to Portland is on the tapis The movement
seems to originate among Portland physicians.
Next week hearing on the matter will be Civ
en- at that city by committee, Of which Hon.
J. W. Bradbury Of this city and ex-Judge APP
pleton are members. It was represented that
if the school was transferred, as proposed,
Bowdoin College would take the building of
the school, paying what it was worth. But it
turns out on investigation that the money
which erected the building was donated to the
college, and the college has authority in con-
ferring degrees. The great need of the school
seems to be new building, so we are informed.

CHINESE CoNsPIRAroRs
Pay FelISw Chinamnn SIS 10 Murder
ST. Louis MAN.

ST. LOUIS, June ga Chinamau, arrested
yesterday near Murphysboro, Illinois, or the
murder of Lou Johnson ,of St. Louis, last Mon
day, turns out to be Cong Sing. Last night he
was brought to St. Louis. Today, when taken
before the coroner he gave all the details Of
the murder, admitting that he was one of four
men who committed the deed. He said that
about month ego it was decided to kill john
son because he was believed to be giving in
formation to the police which led to the arrest
of other Cinnamon for gambling and keeping
gambling houses. Gong Sing, Chya Pock aEd
two other Cinnamon agreed TO murder John
son for $500, and watched his house for six
day before they got chance. Cong Sing as
sisted Chya Pock to dispose of the body in a
closet, and then the qusrsette scattered. Cong
Sing says his share of 5000 was to be one hun
dred, but that Chya Pock gave him only $15.
Chys Peck went South he thinks, but he does
not know where the others went. The money,
which was paid the murderer, was contributed
| by half dozen Chinese laundry men who
wanted johnson killed, and who were willing
| to pay 5000 more to have Alex Baptiste pnt
| out of the way. Baptiste is Chinese interpre-
| ter who came to st. Lonis recently from New
| York, and interpreted testimony at the inquest
on the body Of johnson. Chya Pock was ar
rested in Chicago last night, and now it is be-
lieved that all these concerned in the m1rder
| have been captured.
