Record Of Casualties.

Advices from Nova Scotia, state that two
fishing vessels, the Ella and the Quartre
Freeres, which left France some time ago for
the Newfoundland fisheries with IT'S men on
board, have been lost and that all hands
have doubtless been drowned.
The suburban mansion of Gen. A. B.

general and wife, the latter a niece OF SEN
ator Voorhees,, were entertaining two hun.
dred guests. Among the latter were Con-
gresham Cannon's daughters, Judge Wilkin

originated from hanging lamps in the art
lery. The frightened guests jumped through
open windows and fed through rear doors
into the heavy storm then prevailing. Sew
eral people had narrow escapes. Gen.
Dodge was hurt by falling timbers. The
loss was 100000.
Two men were discovered in the act OF

Worse And Worse,

CHICAGO. May 22.-In the inquiry as to the
state of affairs at the Cook county insane
asylum to-day, Dr. Clevenger, formerly a
member Of the medical staff there. testified
that it was impossible for reputable practi-
toner or attendant to stay there.
Once in 1885 I heard screams of pain, and
running from my Office found two attendants
was bleeding profusey kew there no use
in making any complaint, as the attendants
were supported by John CUMMINGS influence on
the county board. Soon after they rebelled and
refused TO obey my orders They secreted
bodies on which I desired to hold post mortem
examinations and could not get them for two or
three days after they were buried. published
a statement and the following night one of the
attendants called me vile name, and a few
moments later shot was fired down stairs. and
a bullet crashed through the floor and lodged
in my book case. Dr. Roller, an assistant physi-
clan, found maggots in the wounds of neglected
patients in 1884. Bed bugs would torture pa
tients under their stralght-jackets, and rats
would mutilate the bodies of those who had died
unattended during the night. The attendants
were usually appointed by the commissioners
for their fighting abilities at the polls in
to want to keep in practice at the ex-
pense of the insane. They often openly defied
the superintendent and when threatened with
dismissal reminded the official that he had not
sufficient political influence The majority Of
the attendants being of this low character the
efforts of those who were well disposed
were discouraged. Brawls. drunkenness,
oaths. slamming of doors, in.essant alarms,
blackmaiins buster, pistol shooting, intrigues,
immortality, stealing neglect of duty on part OF
subordinates. exerted very depressing infiu-
ence upon the decent officials there and caused
them to waste much of their energies in keeping
out of rows. There are stealages in the clothing
in various ways. and even the rags and bones
were sold for the benefit of the one who had con-
troll of such offal. The county board financial
reports were falslfied and confused in variety
of ways, often the expression general expenses"
would cover thousand dollars or more of unac-
counted for bills, and AT one time some $4,000
was included in a lump in some such item to
the perfect satisfaction of the commissioners.

From Foreign Lands.

The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Daily News it is stated there that William
Walter Phelps has been appointed United
States minister to Germany.
During the last month considerable num-
Der of emigrants have been passing through
Montana en- route to British POSSESSIONS,
travelling by wagon. 1t has been ascertained
that they are Norm ons from Utah and Idaho,
and that their destination is the country
through which the Calf railway passes.
Some time ago the Alberta Railway & Coal
company was approached by an agent OF the
Mormon hierarchy with proposition to buy
several thousand acres of the company s
land in the Northwest territory upon which
to settle colony ofthe saints. The negot tia
lions hung fire for some time but were COM
pleted q little more that month ago 1t is
not known what the consideration was, nor
just how many acres of land were purchased.
The deal was a large one, however, and the
province is likely to have very considerable
Mormon population within short period of
time.

MISS KATE YOUNG, a teacher of the
West Sebewa mich. school, took a
novel method OF supplying a demand
that the school board refused to heed.
She had each pupil bring an egg, and
then sold them at a convenient gro
Gerry. With the proceeds she pur-
chased towels and soap, and the ap-
pearance of the children after play
hours is much improved.

conference with the Indians will follow. A.
r. Jourdan from the Red Lake reservation,
is in Washington. He says the Indians are
somewhat distrnstful and may give the COM
missoners some trouble before they will sign
the treaty and accept an allotment of lands
lin seyeralty, but they are we'll pleased with
the selection of Hon. Henry NJ. Rice as one of
the commissioners. The people in the vicin-
ity of both the Red Lake and Leech Lake re-
sservations are very anxious to have the lands
aeded and the reservations opened.
The Indians of the Sisseton reservation
need not be alarmed about their rights being
in any way abrogated by the government.
The statement made by Chief Gabriel Rem
vile at Big Coulee, S. D., were shown to the
officials of the Indian bureau at Washington
AS to the first claim Of patents they are now
being made out and will be issued to the In
dams iH about six weeks. There is certain
amount due the Indians for annuities from
1862 1867. The claim that the survey of
their land is wrong: and that they are en-
titled to 46, 600 acres more than was given
them is without foundation. The matter
was explained to Chief Renyille when he was
in Washington. The amount due the In
dams for the loss of annuities has never been
adjusted, but the claim of a certain sum is
regarded as valid. The Indian bureau will
not consent to give the Indians their money
in lump, but will keep it in trust for them.
The act of congress allotting the land in
severalty provides for ali children born at
the time it was approved. The Indian bu-
reau cannot count in the pappooses that
have arrived since that time.
