A SCHOOL OF CRIME.
The Usual Grand Jury Report on
the Ramsey County Jail

y
The grand jury yesterday made its re-
port to the district court, detailing the
results of the usual inspection of the
jail, work house, state reform school
and almshouse hospital. Regarding
the work house the report says that the
committee appointed to make the in
spection took the officers of the institu-
ton entirely unaWareS, but found its
general condition neat and clean. and
the attendants courteous and affable
The Institution, in which is incarcerated
total OF l5l persons, nine of whom are
women. is self-supporting, for which
the management is commended. The
inmates are contented, their general
health good and the food supplied them
plain, substantial and palatable. But
one deficiency was brought to the no
tlce OF the committee, that of inadequate
protection from fire, connection with the
city water system being needed to
make safe this home of the inmates and
the valuable property of the city. The
state reform school contains PIP boys
and 80 girls, rs per cent of whom were
sent from ST. Paul and Minneapolis.
The, schools and workshops are well
conducted. In the girls department
there is pressing need of more room.
The superintendent and teachers are
cOmpllmented upon their work.
The committee which visited the Jail
says that it was found to be in as good
order as consistent with the conditions
OF the building, the structure being con-
sidered by the committee as totally I'M
mt for the purposes intended. The COM
mittee which visited the city hospital
found it to be in a satisfactory condi-
ton.
The grand jury in summarizing the
reports of its committees made the fol-
lowing recommendations
That Immediate action be taken to Sc
cure more complete protection from fire
at the work house, both on account of
the lives as well as the property con-
stantly endangered, and that at least
one more fire eXtinguisher be purchased
and placed in the almShouSe hospital.
Attention is called to the fact that
large proportion of the crimes brought
to the notice of the grand jury had their
origin in. or some direct connection
with saloons, and the. public drinking
habit. The jury also noticed that most
OF the prisoners in the county Jail are
young men, almost boys, and of Grim
Inals just beginning life of crime.
Ihese, In IdleneSs, nesSarily associate
with each other and with old
ana hardened criminals, the GER
tain effect being to familiarize
the inexperienced with the ways
the professional criminal, educating the
yet almost innocent for life of crime.
The jail. says the report, is a school of
crime, There should be separation of
its inmates. This is probably not prac-
ticable in the present building, but
should receive full consideration by the
authorities in planning the new jail In
facts relative to the effects of the
drinking habit and the herding to-
gether of all classes in the common Jail
have often been reported by former
grand jurors, bnt they will bear repe-
tltlon so long as they continue"

were made, and publication for the

DEATH OF ROBERT O'NEILL.
An Old Resident of Ramsey
County Dies at His Home.

Robert U'Neill died at his home, near
Mendoza, at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He was one of the few remaining
la ndmarks of generation now rapidly
passing away. Of Irish parentage, he
came from Canada to this state in 1850,
and went into the lumber business, for
a short time in partnership with the late
Joseph K. Brown. Shortly after the
treaty with the Sioux Indians lie pre-
empted land, which remained his home
to the time of his death. He was a del
egate to the constitutional convention
called and organized previous to the
admission of Minnesota as state,
and was a member of the first
state legislature, and was one of the
first commissioners for Dakota county.
lie took an active part in all matters re-
lating to schools and education. In
politics he was lifelong Democrat and
i'll his public as well as private life he
was known for his integrity and hon
esty of purpose. His widow, who sur
wives him, is sister of the late Maj.
W. Ii. Forbes. He also leaves a family
of sons and daughters, who are resi-
dents of this state

BAD DEBT ADS"
A Suit for $4,000 That Grew
Out of the Agency Work.

Out of the Agency Work.
= Anthony NJ. Doherty, auctioneer and
dealer in real estate, is of the opinion
that his character has been maliciOusly
DETAINED and his business reputation
damaged to the extent of $4,000 by
Floyd W. Horton, manager of the Hor-
ton Portrait company, in this city.
Therefore he has begun suit in the dis
trict court against Horton to recover
that amount. 1t is alleged by Mr.. Do
herty that on April 10 he received from
Chicago letter from Sprague's Bad
Debt Collecting agency, whose card was
printed on the envelope covering the
letter. which threatened the publica-
ton of his name if he did not immedi-
ately adjust bill of Sl60 which he owed
the Horton Portrait company. Suisse
Quently he received another let
ter signed by Mr.. Horton, and
the envelope of which bore the
collecting agency'S card, stating that
the subscriber had become member of
an association of business men who eX-
change lists of delinquent debtors. and
urging him again to settle the account,
Mr.. DOherty says the inscription on the
several envelopes conveyed to the pub
lie the intimation that he was one of a
class of men who did not pay their
debts. Hence his character for honesty
and integrity, which during his ten
years residence in this city has been
without blemish, has been DETAINED and
assailed, and his feelings wounded in
corresponding measure. Fifty thousand
dollars he thinks would be sufficient
recompense for the injury that has been
done him, and he asks judgment for
that amount and costs of his suit against
Mr.. Horton. MIR. Doherty said to a
GLOBE reporter last night that he pro-
posed to make test case of this. He
had never made absolute refusal to pay
the bill. but had simply been hard up,
and told his creditor he must have more
time. He said he would pay the bill,
now in the court.
