Cruelty In the Insane Hospital.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
see notice of an interview had by the News
with Albert Thayer, in which Mr. Thayer says
the inmates are inhumanly treated, and that the
institution is virtually under the charge of the
attendants. I fully agree with Mr.. Thayer in
what he says. The day Blaine was at Indianap-
oils fell from bridge at Stratford and became
insane, and was at last taken to the Insane Hos
pital but rapidly recovered. During my short
stay have witnessed scenes that would make
the blood run cold. At one time saw one of
the attendants walk up to James CurSy and for
a very slight offense strike him the left ear
with his fist so hard that he cut the ear then
caught him by the back of the collar and jerked
him down on the floor and commenced kicking
him in the ribs, when another attendant came
up and commenced kicking him until could
stand to look no longer, and walked down to the
other end of the room believing they would kill
him.
saw one of the attendants one morning knock
down young fellow who was moping, whom he
had kicked for not walking faster, that said
something that displeased the attendant. and
after he had knocked him down he jumped on
him and beat him about the head with his fist
until his head and face were swollen. could
give you other instances of cruelty. This was
in e ward and under Dr.. Thomas's care, who
came in, about o'clock in the morning each day
and never remained in the room over fifteen
minutes, and then was seen no more until the
next morning. DR.. Fletcher came into the
ward but three times during nv stay. One OF
the trustees. directors came in at night several
times, and remained times as long
half hour. There are other things which were
wrong. / have not given the names Of the at

AM Inharmonious Labor Convention.


LA CROSSE. Wis, July 13.-Forty nine dele
gates from Milwaukee, ten local delegates and
about dozen others. representing seven coun-
ties of the State, were gathered at the opening
of the so-called labor convention which began
its session here to-day. The proceedings have
not been of very harmonious nature, it being
evident from the very start that the various
factions would not work in unaniplity.
The Milwaukee delegation outnumbered all
the others put together. but it was so rent by in
ternai dissension that it lost any advantage Its
large majority would have given it. Some of
the delegates desired a dicker with the Demo
Gratis for the Endorsement of Gabe Bouck. while
others wanted an entire third ticket nominated,
and others did not know what they wanted. A
vote of the convention showed that fourteen of
the forty-nine had voted for Butler, and
seventeen for Cleveland. The majority of the
delegates seem to favor Gabe Bouck as the
head of q fusion ticket. At the afternoon session
resolutions were adopted opening with the state
ment that a check should be placed upon the I'M
just accumulation of wealth and the power for
evil of accumulated wealth. An amendment
was substituted by Robert Schilling as follows:
Resolved, That we favor law end order. and
denim all officials, Anarchists and Communists who
seek to advance their interests in violation of the
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness.
The resolution was adopted.

DANvILLE, Ill. July 3-The situation at
Grape Creek, ILL., where the miners are on strike
for higher wages, becomes more serious each
day, and, although no actual disturbance has oc-
Cured. it cannot be long averted for the strikers
are determined that no laborers, except them
selves, shall work the mines and she operators
are just as determined that they will conduct
their business without interference or dictation
from any body of men, A force of thirty five
deputy sheriffs constantly guard the mines. A
large number of plantation negroes were
brought from Kentucky last week to
take the strikers places, and remained
at work unmolested until yesterday,
when the white miners, to the number of two
hundred, armed with rifles shotguns, revolvers
and clubs, marched in body to the mines and
demanded Of the negroes that they return
whence they came. After extended parley.
during which the most intense excitement pre-
vailed, the colored men marched to Danv1e,
some miles distant, where they will con-
slider carefully the advisability of continuing at
work. In the meantime, the mines are idle,
and the strikers iubilant Should the negroes
decide to return and fulfill their contracts with
the operators, riot and bloodshed will undoubt-
eddy ensue. The mining company have eiected
from their houses all of the strikers and their
families numbering il all about one thousand
men, women and children. Those who have no
money to supply their simplest wants have
moved into the woods and built rude huts, where
they live in the most abject poverty. Many
have barely enough clothing to cover them, and
the pittance doled out by the unions scarcely
prevents starvation.
CHICAGO July BIN an interview tonight
with the president of the Grape Creek Coal
Company, he stated THE dispatch, saying that
an armed force of 200. men had marched to the
mines and demanded that the negro miners re-
turn to the South, is incorrect. No violence has
been offered the new men by the old miners.
Many of the miners have been induced not to
work, but detachments of new men are being
brought IN. The statement that all the strikers
have been dismissed by the company and elected
from their houses is correct. Some of the Nash
vile miners were induced to return to the South,
their fare being paid by the old men,"

of white satin, trimmed with point lace.
The neck was modestly exposed, the open
ing in the dress being covered in negige
style, with the varlest bit of lace, which
was fastened with diamond of unusual
brilliancy. At the conclusion Of the sup
per, to which the guests adjourned after
the ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond en-
tered the coach in waiting for them, and
were driven to the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot, where they took train for their new
home in Denver, Colorado. There were a
large number of guests at the brilliant re-
ception wniu !; followed, among whom were

He Was whistllnx for :. Chestaut..,,

A group of gentlemen, in which were
several local politicians, were standing in
front of Taylor's Hotel last Monday after
noon, engaged in general conversation.
The conversation finally drifted into q
round of story telling. After two or three
of the party had related two or three good
new stories, one of the party named Miller
"a New Yorker, who possibly labored I'M
der the misaprehension that whatever story
he told would be fresh to the unsophisti-
Gated Jerseylnen about him-branched out
in the yarn spinning line. The first story
he told was not SO very old, but one of the
men present had heard it not less than
four years ago-Albeit he was Jersesman.
When Miller had finished it, this gentle
man-who was nobody else than Charlie
Jordan-took. whistle from his pocket
and blew it just loud enough to be heard
by all the party. Miller, nothing daunted,
told second and third chestnut, which
Charlie had heard years ago, AMI at the end
of each the latter would blow his whistle.
Finally the fourth story came. 1t was SO
old that each of the party had allowed
ches- to pass their lips when Charlie Jor-
dan fairly shrieked his chestnut whistle,
Miller had not tumbled yet, for, turning to
the party, he said, somewhat angrily:
s'What is that d--n fool blowing his
whistle for all the timer"
s'Chestnuts !" was the simultaneous ex-
clamation of the entire party.
