THE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER.

WASHINGTON, May 2O-The marked
courtesy which characterizes the public
and private intercourse of Frank W.
Palmer, the new public printer, has al
ready attracted much attention here.
Here is what one of the local newspapers
says of his course thus far: The new pub
lie printer closed the first week of his adj
mlnistration yesterday at 5 o'clock
and it is safe to assert that dur
ing the week, no official save the
president, has had anything like
the number Of callers. Last evening the
public printer was in the best Of humor.
You never would have dreamed that he
has not had a single moment to himself
during Office hours since he entered upon
his duties last Monday morning, but such
is the case. And to each caller and appli-
can't the public printer had a pleasant
word. To those who sought employment
he would say, Now really, / don't know
exactly what have. You just leave your
papers and | will give them my earliest
attention; l will do all l can," and OF
course he could say nothing more.
In response TO the reporters query as to
the truth in the statement that he was
was going TO make wholesale discharge,
Public Printer Palmer said: Il suppose
one can hear anything. Whatever changes
that are made viii be with a view of in
creasing the efficiency of the force. shall
make no sweeping dismissals."
Some of the papers say you are not
friendly TO the old soldiers and that they
are to be discharged"
You can say for me that, all things
being equal, I shall every time give
preference TO the old veterans, their wild
ows and orphans"
Notwithstanding tie rush, Public Printer
Palmer has kept up with his correspon-
dence, which has been very voluminous.
Il take my mail home with me-" said he,
lin order TO keep up with it. A great
many letters are from friends in different
part of the country, who have sent their
congratulations, and it gives me pleasure
to reply 70 them"
Everything out at the Office has run
along about the same as usual, with the
exception OF the large crowd of visitors,
no one would imagine that ew public
printer had been appointed.

NIB. LOWRY ANXIOUS.
He Falls Heir to a Fortune, But Is Hustled
to Obtain Possession.

ST PAUL. Mimi, May 2O.-John Wilkin
Lowry, or Jack" Lowry as he is more
Familiarity known in this city, has during
the past three days blown in something
like 5000 for cablegrams, and is still keeping
the wires hot. The cause of Mr.. Lowry s
recently developed penchant for cabling is
to be found in the difference between
$4,000 per annum and the finest estates in
Cum berland and $50 per month as an
auctioneer in small way in ST. Paul
The comparison first suggested
itself to Lowry, when, on reading soiled
and battered copy of the Carlyle England)
Patriot, he glanced at the advertisements
for next of kin and saw the name of John
Wilkin Lowry, heir to all the broad acres
of the Lowry family. The tail of the ad-
vertisement was thunderbolt in the
shape of an announcement that the Lowry
estate would pass into the court of ham
Gerry unless claimed prior to May q.
A message to Stay proceedings at
once: am alive and don't
you forget it," addressed the Messrs. Dob
son and Watson, attorneys Of Carlyle and
signed John Wilkin Lowry" was sent
over the wires and doubtless surprised the
firm of attorneys, as John Wilkin Lowry's
letters to friends on the other side have
been few and far between. He came to
America several years ago, stayed some
time in Canada and settled here TWO years

MRS. AIIHOuSE,S TRANCE.

ATTICA, n. V, May 19.-Mrs. Emma Alt
house, whose continued trance during the
last two years has attracted so much at
tention, has taken a change for the better,
and there is chance that she may entirely
recover, though it is very slight. For the
last month her condition has gradually
improved until now she can again partake
of some nourishment: her breathing is
more natural and her trance periods are
less frequent and shorter. Two months
ago she was given up for dead and her vi
tality became so low subsequent to her
rallying on that occasion that ali her rela-
tives became convinced that she could not
live.
Mrs. AlthouSe partakes of small guam
titles of nouriShmeDt. Is able to move her
hands and seems much stronger, but she
is wholly powerless 10 sit up in bed. where
she has lain during the two years of her
illness. She has had no medical attend
ance and strangers have been more rigidlv
excluded from the house than ever before
Her last trance lasted only week and she
has had several short maps of three or four
days. In one of them she plainly saw the
scenes attending the inauguration of Pres
ident Harrison, but her strength was not
sufficient to fully describe them. She also
knew about other events which had trans
pired and which were not mentioned in
the sick room The longest trance she
had was the first of the year and lasted
81 days. Another continued IS days. but
the average until lately was between 10
and ~ DAYS

MRS, FOLSOM MARRIED.
Mr.. Cleveland's Mother-iu-Law Welded to
Henry E. Perine Of Buffalo.

JACKSON, Mich, May 20-A very per-
ceptible flutter of excitement ran through
this city yesterday when it became known
early in the afternoon that Mrs. Emma C..
Folsom, mother of Mrs. Grover Cleveland,
was to wed Henry e. Perrine, a merchant
of Buffalo, n Y, and that Mrs. Cleveland
would be present at the ceremony. Hardly
had the rumor found credence before
corroborating testimony came in the per-
son Of Mrs. Cleveland herself, who arrived
on the fast express at 400 and was
Immediately driven to the residence of
her aunt, Mrs. John w. Cadman, on
Francis street, where the ceremony was to
take place. Extraordinary precaution had
been taken TO keep the affair quiet Re-
porters were unable to procure more than
the simplest details.
Mrs Folsom arrived here on the Sth
inst, to be with her relatives and to es-
cape the publicity which attach at the
east to an event of such interest, and so
cleVerly had the matter been planned and
managed, that very few were cogniZant of
it until the last moment. Mr.. Perrine
came on and remained quietly at the Hib-
bard House since Wednesday last. 1t IS
stated that considerable telegraph
ing has been going on be-
tween the jackson relatives and Mrs.
Cleveland in New York concerning details
and that the kilograms have been sent to
third parties so that the newspapers might
get no inkling of the circumstances.
The wedding was Solemnized at 9 O'Clock
this evening, Rev. Mr.. Balloon, of ST
Pauls Episcopal church, officiating. The
bride was attired in her travelling costume.
The guests present, besides Mrs. Cleve-
land and the family of Mr.. Cadman, were
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Ritch the latter a
daughter of the groom, and their two
sons from Buffalo; Mr. and Mrs. Elisha
Flynn, of Detroit; Mr.. Hartman and Mrs
Frank Welch, of Jackson, the two latter
near relatives.
Mr. and Mrs Perrine left on the night
train for Chicago and the west before re
turning to Buffalo to reside. Mrs. Cleve-
land will remain for few days the guest
of Mrs. Cadman before leaving Tor home
The groom is about Is years the senior of
the bride, who is a well preserved woman

BRUTALITY TO PATIENTS.
Awful Testimony offered in the Insane
Asylum Investigation.

CHICAGO, May 20.-The most horrible
revelations made in the investigation of
the Chicago public insane asylum was that
reached today in the testimony of George
Hill, locomotive engineer employed on
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail-
way. lie was admitted to the institution
in January, 1883, suffering from slight
mental arrangement and was discharged
as cured in the following May. When he
went to the asylum an attendant, Lott,
asked him if he was insane and Hill said
that he was not "Weu,'' replied Lott,
1--WE will make you damned sight insaner
than you are now.' Another attend
ant named Julian ordered Hill
to sweep out the room, and on
his saying he hadn't come there for
that purpose knocked him down, kicked
him in the body and in the mouth, knock
ing two teeth out. Hill tried to cover his
face by getting his head beneath a bench,
when Julian turned the bench over, break
ing HIPS arm. Hill rolled up his sleeves
in court and showed huge bump where
the ends of the bone badly joined stood
out. They knocked him down again, he
said, and broke one of his ribs. His arm
gave MIN great pain and he could not get
proper treatment. He tried to get the
doctor but they threatened TO kill right
there if he spoke.
One day Hill had an opportunity of
speaking to Superintendent Jones and told
him that he was badly treated. After
wards two attendants knocked him down
aud held him while Julian
repeatedly kicked HIM in the
head and breast. On getting
up with the blood running from his face
and head, Hill said he would have justice
again. whereupon Julian cursed him and
knocked him down and kicked him again.
Hill said new patient named Levy was
brought in one day. He didn't know
enough to go TO the dining room and at
tendants Lott and Julian knocked him
down and jumped on his stomach until he
was unable to move. Then they picked
him up and threw him on a bed. Levy
died that night.
The court room was as still as death du-
ring this awful recital. Judge Prender-
CAST instructed the witness TO bring his
wife TO corroborate his story and a phys
ician was detailed to examine Hills arm
and ribs
Several other witnesses testified to the
brutality of attendants. miserable quality
of food etc

RUN DOWN BY FRENCHMaN.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The pilot boat,
Charlotte Webb No. 8, was run down and
sunk during the fog Saturday by the
French steamer lie Normandie and Captain
Malcom and Charles Fitzgerald, the boat
keeper, were drowned. The Normandie
was not injured particlesAccording 20 the
five survivors the rescued sailors were no
sooner taken on board the Frenchman
than her cabin and chief officers approach
ed and instead of giving them every assist
ance in their power began swearing at
them, because they had been in the way"
They kept up their blIlingsgate until sew
erai Of the passengers on the steamer in
terfered and suggested that the men
should be treated more like human be-
lnQs.
The Normandie put back and cast anchor
near the hook and at day break sighting
the EtrurIa put the Inflated men aboard OF
her and continued her voyage. There,
however. their fearful experience OF the
night caused general sympathy. They
were very kindly treated, dry clothing
being generously provided, the passenger
subscribing $3.50 TO fund for the Webb's
seamer This amount WAS divided pro
rata among the five sesmen. They were
brought to this city whence they went 10

suit, now on trial at Lemars, against State

tbatsa compromise with the iute bagging

fact He says they distinctly stated to the
jute bagging people that they would not
use the jute bagging even if it was offered

Of cotton bagging to cover the next crop,
and expect that over one-fOurth of the
cotton raised this year will be wrapped in
this article, and that none Of the crop of
