A HORRIBLE RECITAL.
George HIPS Story of Brutalities In the
Chicago Insane Asylum.

The most horrible revelation yet made in
Judge Prendergast's investigation of the man
agement of ChicagO's public insane asylum was
reached yesterday in the testimony of George
Hill, an engineer, now running for the Lake
Shore road.
Mr.. Hill is a shrewd-looking man with a
straightforward manner that carried convic-
ton with IT. He said he was admitted to the
institution in ia AIRY, 1883, and was discharged
as cured the following May. He was not vio-
lently insane when he went to the asylum, and
on his arrival was asked by an attendant named
Lock II he was insane. He said he was not.
well, replied Lock, I'VE will make you a
d-n sight insaner than you are now"
Then another attendant named Julian or
dered me 10 sweep out the room. replied
that was not sent there for that purpose
You amt. ell? We will see about that"
Then he knocked me down and kicked me in
the body and mouth, and kicked two teeth out
and broke my arm.
Hill rolled up his coat-sleeve and showed
about three inches below the elbow a huge
lump, where the ends of the broken bones
lily joined, stuck out. They knocked me
down again." continued Hill, land broke one
of my ribs. My arm caused me great pain
and had no proper treatment tried to see
the doctor, but Julian told Ine that if / dared
to speak he would kill me-"
Il told Supervisor Jones that I was badly
H.
Then Lock and another attendant held me
down while Julian kicked me in a terrible
manner. i got up bleeding and said would
have justice some day.
q" You - said Julian, we will give
you all the justice you want and he struck me
and knocked me down again.
One day poor fellow named Levy was
brought In. He did not know enough to go to
the dining-room, and was showing him the
way, when Lock asked me what / was doing.
Julian came up and Lock said. THE
won't eat" III show him how to eat" said
Julian, and he grasped Levy by the hair and,
throwing his head back, jammed big piece of
bread into his mouth. Levy tried to run away.
and hid in one of the rooms. There he was
caught by Julian and Lock. They struck him
IN the face, knocked him down and Jumped ON
Gls stomach. Leyy's face turned black. Get
up! they said. but he could not move. and
Iney picked him up and threw him on the bed
The poor fellow died that night"
AIe courtroom was as still as death during
the awful recital The witness was told to
pting IN ms wife to corroborate his story and
VI. harold Meyer was instructed by the Judge
70 examine Hills arm and rib.

TO LOOK AFTER THE GERMANS,
That Class of Emigrants Considered by
the Presbyterian Assembly.

After the report of The STAR closed yester-
day Of the session of the Presbyterian General
Assembly in New York, Rev. Dr. John Scott,
President Harrisons father-in-law, entered and
took front seat. He was effusively welcomed
by DIR. Crosby. DIR. W. o. Ruston, of Dubuque.
Iowa, presented the report Of tine committee
appointed to inquire into evangelical work
among emigrants, particularly Germans and
Scandinavians. The report started off by say
ing that during the last four years the number
of emigrants that came to this country was
twice as large as the number of Cloths and
Vandals who swept over southern Europe.
The emigration question was spoken of and
also the tendency of Germans to infideiity and
a recommendation was made that a third secre-
tary be appointed in the board of foreign mis-
sions VINO Will devote his time to the emigrant
population.
AT the evening session Rev. George Baker of
Philadelphia, and Rev. r. s. Allen. secretary of
the board of freedmen, spoke of THE Freed
men. Both earnestly urged the formation of
educational facilities for the negro ANY moye-
ment to this end, DR. Allen felt assured. would
quickly be assisted by the wealthy members of
the race.
Rev. l.. s. Coffin, of Iowa, urged the assem-
bly, to take strong measures in relation to the
observance of the Sabbath in the interests of
