A committee from The Levy Court, con-
sisting of President Grubb and Messrs.
Roberts, Rothwell, Sutton and Wier,
visited the county jail at New Castle yee
terday.
They were accompanied by architect +.
r. Carswell, contract II A. S. Reed, plum
bci Joseph Jenkins Of the firm OF Miller
d JENKINS, and some representative OF
lhe press. At New CAST, the vlsitora
were Joined by Sheriff allon and jail ply
sician DR.. Black. Sheriff Allen aud
wardens Toner aud Smlth escort, d the
visitors through the prison and explained
its defects In excessive crowdiDg of cells
aud defective sewerage aud plumbing
The visitors did not expect to find tue jail
in very pr, b. ntaDle condition owing 10
overcTowdinR, but they were not prepar-
ed TO find things as bad Ls they really
were, and the great wonder was that
those in charge were enabled to keep the
jail In as good der as il was founI un-
der the circumstance.
There were LAG prisoners confined In
only 80 cells, crowding as high 40 six
into one cell. The Jail was built some 81
years ago, and was never intended u
accommodate more than 75 prisoners.
The popu uatiOn of the county has
oOuoith bhNp bhtht tuC tihSe
has more than doubled, and there still
stands the same old jail. The evil re-
cults flowing from the plan of crowding
young crlmiuals who might be reformed
into crowded cells with old and hardened
wretches cannot be overestimated. 10
put 1t mildly, 1t Is crime for which
New Castle county will not be held
guiltlese.
Architect Carswell came prepared with
we'll matured plans for an enlargement oi
| the Jail. They were well scanned by the
| Levy Courtmen and all present, and
| were commended as providing for the
| best thing that could be done short oi
buildinga new Jail. The plans provide
for an additional story containing 81
| cells, making In all 60 cells in the build
| ing.
The plans also provide for the rebuild.
Ing Of the tramps' department, with sick
wards on tie second and third stories
and bath rooms on each floor. The esti'
mated cost of the additions, II built Of
brown stone, will be about S1S, GOO, or
probably $4,000 if built of Avondale
stone, which cost would include plumb
Ing, and 1t would take about four months
TO complete the additions.
The plans were informally but thor
oughly discussed, but no recommends.
tion was agreed upon. Everybody agreed,
however, that something had to be done
at an early day, and all except Mr. Grubt
thought that cost was but u secondary
matter compared with the immediate de-
mands for enlargement. Mr.. Grubb con-
| sidered that owing to the already accumu.
lated heavy debt of the county the cost
was an insuperab,e objection. The mF t.
ter will be reported to next Tuesday Is
meeting OF the Levy Court, where some
kind OF action will most likely be taken
Sheriff Allen entertained the visitors
with most excellent dinner at /.

AUBURN. N. Y, June 26.-The case OF
Kemler, the Buffalo murderer, who was
condemned to suffer death by electricity,
was up on appeal in the Supreme Court
yesterday. The appeal was taken on the
ground that the State Constitution pro-
hibited cruel and unusual punishment,
and the counsel for the murderer con-
tended that execution by electricity was
both cruel and unusual. The case was
argued at considerable length by both
sides, and the Court finally decided that
testimony would have to be taken as to
the effect of an electric current on the
human body, and appointed Tracy q.
Becker, lawyer of Buffalo, to take ,esti-
mony and report to the Court July 80

came the High School commencement,
together with the final exercises OF the

the male convict corridor of Moyamen-
sing Prison shortly after 10 O'Clock yes
