TALES OF CRUELTY
Reach hPhiladelphinFrom heChesterSprings
Orphan School.

Reach hPhiladelphinFrom theChesterSprin
Orphan School.
PHILADELPHIA, May g. Although
Chester Springs Orphans School has been
under new management since Christmas
last it has by no means been purged of its
imperfections. Corporal punish ment is less
frequent than it was six months ago, but the
vigor of its execution makes up for what is
lacked in frequency. One of the most fla
grant acts OF injustice occurred recently,
when large body of pupils were punished
for the fault of the few. The chastisement was
administered by a strong youth with a
hickory stick soaked in water. In addition
to this punishment they were compelled to
scrub the sitting room floor every night for
two weeks after the other boys had retired.
AT the same time another lad was given a
merciless thrashing for pilfering two pos
tage stamps from one of the teachers
rooms.
Visitors to the school have been much
moved by the sight of little girl Is years
old, who is suffering from a loathsome blood
disease, which appears in horrible form upon
her face and limbs. During the winter she
was for great part of the time kept in a
room by herself, which no one but the nurse
was allowed to enter save on rare occasions.
Several weeks ago the nurse. whose room is
near by, was awakened by violent scream
ing, and Fastening to the little ones bedside
found that rats had been gnawing at her ear,
which was bleeding profusely.
The methods Of punishment for small
ofenses are various and peculiar. For idle
ness. inattention or breach OF military dis
cipline, the boys are made to spend the half
or whole of their holiday in scrubbing
floors, washing clothes, saving wood, doing
kitchen work or performing other tasks of
domestic nature. A word let fall during
military drill is rewarded with a reYer-
berating slap. Boys have been set
at scrubbing the floor when it
was so cold that their fingers grew red and
rigid, and the water froze upon their
brushes. One of the favorite modes of pun
ishment in the girls department is sewing
carpet rags after the obedient pupils have
retired. It has been said that girls have
been kept up as late as A. NJ. employed in
this manner. The officers of the school ad-
NIT some of the charges, but say punish
ment is absolutely necessary.

INDIANAPOLIS, May ga large portion
of the cities of Indiana held elections to-
day. While there were a few partisan
triumphs, politics entered only to a very linn
tied extent. In New Albany the fight was
for municipal reform, politics playing but
small part in the election, though both
parties nominated full ticket. McDonald's
election as Mayor is regarded as great vic
tory by the taxpayers over municipal ring
that has nearly ruined the credit of the city
of Richmond.
A Republican stronghold elected Demo-
cratic Mayor by 63. His Republican op-
ponent had 300 majority two years ago.
Ft. Wayne, reliable Democratic city,
elected Republican Mayor. The people
were not satisfied with the management of
their police department. Kokomo and
Lafayette, usually Republican, elected
Democrats, while in Terre Haute the latter
met with Waterloo At Upton there oc-
CURED hot political fight and the Demo-
Gratis won. At Chairman Huston's home,
Connersville, the Democrats reduced the
Republican majorities one-half. All sorts
of local questions were at issue throughout
the States, but very little politics

excellent condition. There has been no rain
for week and the sprinklers must be used
freely. For the first time in the history of rae

the races, but this was merely a concession by
the Louisville poolrooms to the Jockey club
management, who will sell at the track to-
morrow and will probably open a place to sell
in the city.
The Derby remains an open race Proctor

Compensation Paid to Connecting Lines for
the Use of Their Cars.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The railroad
men who appeared before the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday and testi-
fed in regard to the practice of giving COM
missions were present to-day in response to
the commissions citation calling on them
for information as to allowances paid by the
railroads for trackage, and also for the use
of cars furnished by shippers, car companies
or connecting lines.
The first road called was the Wabash
Western road. Charles M. Hayes, General
Manager. testified that the rate of compen-
sation paid to connecting lines for the use of
cars was three-quarters Of cent a mile on
ordinary freight cars loaded or unloaded.
There was no general or universal rule
among railroad companies as to the sleeping
cars used on the road. There were private
stock and refrigerator cars run on the roads,
for each of which a separate rate per mile
was allowed. A coal car was valued at
about $500, box car at $500 and an ordi-
nary stock car between $400 and $500.
DIS. Gray. of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago road, said in the line he represented
three-fourths had been the maximum except
on refrigerators. upon which mileage rate
of cent had been paid from August last to
May LIST inst. The rider allowing the latter
rate had been advanced, however, to go into
effect on the 1st inst. The Pennsylvania
road allows mileage to cars used by mining
and furnace companies and some horse ship
pers of three-fourths of cent.

Is the Pleasing AppeIIation Conferred on
MIR. Wherry by Captain Hassett.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, May S.-This morning the
House confirmed the work of yesterdays
Democratic and Republican caucuses by
electing Messrs. Taggart and Wherry mem
bers of the new Revenue Commission. Later
Mr.. Wherry voted for the Y. M. G. A. incor-
poration bill and thereby angered the Catholic
members, for the reason that the bill provides
that Y. M. G. A. trustees must be Protestants.
This afternoon Captain Hassett moved to re-
consider the vote by which the Commissioners
were elected. and in doing so made bitter at
tack on Mr.. Wherry. He wanted Mr.. Wherry
put of the Commission, first, because he had
said on the floor of the House he was against
it. and had opposed it; and, second, because in
his opinion Mr.. Wherry is not Democrat
Captain Skinner won the applause Of the
House by his earnest defense of Mr.. Wherry,
in which he spoke in the highest terms of
praise of that gentleman's ability Mr. Fow
also won applause for his vigorous defense of
Mr., Wherrys Democracy. Both times Repub-
Hcans Joined even more heartily than the
Democrats The vote against Captain Hassett's
motion was practically unanimous.
"A fakir of morals" was one of the terms
applied by the Captain to Mr.. Wherry, who sat
in his seat and smiled while it was going on.

A PROHIBITION RECRUIT.
Ex- Congressman Elliott Declares for the
Constitutional Amendment.

PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-Mortimer F.

the Supreme Court He is one of the most
prominent lawyers of his section, repre-
sented the State-at-large in the Forty-eighth
Congress and was chairman of the Democratic
State Convention that nominated Black for
Governor Mr.. Elliott announces himself
for prohibition.
Mr.. Elliott tonight gave his reasons for
supporting the amendment. He says he is
willing to try the experiment, and, while he
would prefer that the object sought should
be accomplished by legislation, now that the
matter is presented in the form Of constitu-
tional amendment will give it his support.
He thinks prohibition will destroy the civil
influence of the saloon upon the rising gen.
Grafton and upon laboring men who spend
their sustenance for liquor while their tami-
lies are left in want. Mr. Elliott says that
he has no objections to hotels providing
liquors for their guests. and believes that if
the sale of liquor had been confined to that
the present temperance agitation and de-
mand for prohibition would not have arisen.
