DIRECTOR BRUGGEMAN SPEAKS.

He Tells just Where and Why the County
Employees Can be Reduced.
This morning / saw Director Brugge-
mann and asked him why he recon-
mended that the number of employees at
Snake Hill be reduced to ten per cent of
the number of inmates, and also where
the necessary reduction could be made.
"Well, just at present | think at least
eight men employed as keepers at the
Penitentiary may be dismissed, three
women at the Almshouse and two men at
the Asylum"
Il don't see how this can be when the
Board of Freeholders have said that
twenty-six. keepers are necessary" /
commented.
Nonsense" Mr.. Bruggemann ejacu-
lated, sat the last meeting OF the Com
mittee on County institutions on Tuesday
at Snake HILL so many keepers were
absent that the Assistant Warden was
compelled to bring prisoners before the
committee himself The keepers have
been SO negligent of their duties that
they absent themselves from the peniten-
tiary at any time they choose. If the
Warden complained at this they sought
the protection of Freeholder, and this
saved them from punishment.
This, however. has not been done since
the new Board came into Office.
WuJ w yOu UcLcF6 elbub ul0A Cdu Dc
dismissed from the penitentiary?"
For the reasons have given you. If
that many may be spared for pleasure,
certainly they can from necessity"
"Why do you think two women could
be dispensed with at the Almshouse?'
Because believe that there is enough
help to be derived from the women sent
them to do what two paid employees
would do. l would say the same of the
Asylum and between these two male
attendants could easily be dispensed
with The keepers at the Penitentiary
receive S55 month and board and the
others $25 and board.
'The reduction of this staff as recon-
mended would mean saving to the
county of a neat sum-"
This proposal of the Director has caused
considerable uneasiness to the persons
employed ON the Hill and every effort is
being brought to bear on the Freeholders
to ignore this point in his communication.

What KILLED THE Child
A Hoboken Fathers Seri-
GUS Charge Against
a Physician.

John Tischmann, a bricklayer. living
at No. 81 Madison street, HoDoken,
visited the undertaking establishment of
Coroner O'Hara this morning and charged
DR.. Herzog, well-known physician,
with administering poison to his sick
two-year-old daughter Clara, thereby
causing her death.
The Coroner told the man to go home
and await the arrival of County Physi-
clan Converse, who was instantly noti-
fled. The child. pretty girl, had not yet
been placed in the coffin when called at
the home of the parents this morning.
''The child was taken sick yesterday a
week ago." said Mr.. Tischmann. "I
notified Dr. Herzog and he called the
following day and looked at the child.
He then prescribed light blue powders
and three white powders. / gave the
child the blue powders every thirty
minutes.
The white powders were to be admins
tered every six hours. Sunday morning
about twenty minutes. When I awoke
the child appeared very bright and no.
ticed vast change for the better and
informed my wife of the fact.
Then decided to give the child one of
the white powders. AS soon as the
child received it its little body began to
turn blue and rigid, and she rapidly grew
worse, until when the doctor came the
next morning she was nearly dead
when | told the doctor the effect of
the white powder, he looked at the two
remaining powders on the mantel, and,
glancing suspiciously at me, grabbed
them up, saying that he would take
them.
'This struck me as being suspicious,
and shortly after 1 gave up DR.. Herzog
and hired DR.. Steadman and told him Of
the circumstances He prescribed differ
ent remedies, but the child was beyond
allhope and died last night then noti-
fed Coroner O'Hara"
Dr. Herzog could not be found this
morning. DR.. Steadman, when seen,
would not talk about the case.
