Merchants, Board of Trade.

The Merchants board of trade met at the
city hall yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Vice President Schupp in the chair, Mr..
Doe attending the county commissioners
meetings. A letter was received relating to
the manufacture of glass by wood, but the
gentleman who replied, said they had not
used wood for twenty-five years, as coal
only cost them So per ton and was cheaper
than wood. He instructed Mr. Doe to write
to parties in New York state who were
using wood. However, they could use part
wood and part coal, and the fuel account
would be light. The committee asked
further time, which was granted.
The matter OF railways was brought up
and resulted in an animated discussion, en-
gagged in by Messrs. Deragisch, Henning,
Schupp and others, all advocating the put
ting forth of every endeavor to secure more
railway facilities. The committee who APP
peared before the council reported and the
following was unanimously ADOPTED:
: WHEREAS, The railroad committee of the
board of trade appeared before the city coun-
Gil last Tuesday evening, requesting them to
procure a survey and profile OF the country
in the vicinity of this city with view OF as
pertaining all the feasible routes as to an in
let and outlet of this city for railroad pur-
poses therefore be it
Resolved, That the board of trade recog-
nizing this to be a valuable measure do
hereby request the city council to at once
cause said surveys and profile to be made. u
Resolved, That copy of this resolution be
presented to the council next Monday even
ing.
The matter of credits and collection was
taken up, and an effort will be made to
have all tradesmen become members so that
there may be unison in agreements which
may be made binding. The committee
asked for further time which was granted.
The following resolution was passed in
reference to the fearful accident WHICH hap
pened at noon to j. S. Anderson, a mem
Der of the board, and one of the most prom
inert gentlemen in the city:

that since the present board went into office
no appointment has been made, and the

good judgment in selecting a head for the
abstract office. The report was received

nominations were made: Charles Passavant,
the present clerk, by Commissioner Haz-
Zard, and j. VervaiS, by Commissioner

Zard, KOnantz and Schneider, 3; for Yer
vais Commissioners Bell, Kerwin, Mitsch

at Philadelphia, designed for combining
prisoners on the solitary plan, met with
the special appreciation of the secretary.
In it there are l., 100 prisoners and 700 cells.
One hundred of these prisoners are en-
ployed to carry ON the kitchen and police
work, and the system works well.
The model station house the secretary
found located at Manchester, n. H., just
completed at cost of $4,000. 1t has
large. convenient cells for fOrtys prisoners,
admirable sewerage and other appoint
ments. A large court room, with private
room for the Judge, office of police captain,
reception rooms, guard room, policemen's
quarters, sleeping room for special officer
and temporary hospital room to be
used in case of accident, are all under one
roof.
The Massachusetts state reformatory
prison at Concord is described at length.
1t is after the same plan as the refOrmatOry
prison at Elmira, n. Y, the younger pen
itentiary convicts of the state being retained
therein with some of the worst boys from
the reform school, while the other prisoners
are confined at CharlestOwn, where the
prison has been rebuilt.
THE REFORMATORY PRISON
for women at Sherburne was also visited
where some 80 lellldieS are imprisoned.
These convicts are graded into four classes,
each of the higher having special privileges
and are attainable by good conduct. There
is also trust roll of % to 80 members, who
have shown themselves worthy of conf
denee. During the last year 122 women
were indentured from this prison, of whom
or 10 came back, mostly on account of i'll
health.
The secretary also gives very complete
description to the board of the Pennsylvania
training school for Predetermined and idi-
otic children. The inmates of this depart
ment consist of those children
who prove to be incapable of
instruction because of their low grade of
intellect and those too old to be longer re-
tanned in the training school, but not capa-
BILE of taking care of themselves. The two
custodial buildings are in charge of a
matron, accommodate $50 inmates and cost
S100, 600, OF $500 per inmate.
The above is but a brief synopsis of this
excellent report of the visit of Mr. Hart to
Eastern institutions, the whole of which
will be printed in the biennial report and
will prove interesting reading.

Act was recently republished by the

date of consolidation into the c., c. G..

points, and all tho grading that has been
done is between these respectively. In
