Kansas City Abuse of Unfortuates.

The charges made by Alderman Ford
concerning the condition of the prisoners
confined in the Kansas City workhouse are
found to be true. Two reporters of the
Times investigated the matter and found
that about % male prisoners are crowded
into narrow and filthy cells, reeking with
vermin and not provided with sanitary
regulations. The men are constantly man.
acled with shackles weighing from 5 TO Is
pounds, and are therefore prevented from
bathing. Two of the prisoners said they
had not taken a bnth fo- two months.
Many of the cells are five feet long and in
some Of them are confined men six feet
tall. For these rs prisoners are but two
guards. The guards soy that o n account
of the desperate character OF the men it is
necessary to shackle them to prevent their
escape SO long as they alone have to guard
them and they remain in their present
quarters. The building is of wood and the
partitions arc thin. 1t is thought likely
that n new brick prison will be erected,
provided with proper sanitary regulations
and a sufficient number of guards to watch
the prisoners to do away with the shuckles.

A letter from Greytown, Nicaragua,
says the Nicaragua Canal company on
March 8 discharged thirty engineers aud
clerks, simply rendering Their. their fares
to New York. There is much dissatisfac-
ton, but inasmuch as contracts read FOR
one year, unless ooner discharged" the
men have no redress. Rapid reduction Of
the pay roll goes on. A month ago there
were 675 men on the works, but now not
over 500 remain, and a good many Of these
will soon &c. The work will now be con-
fined to Alice, where rock 10 taken out for
the breakwater. Five hundred out Of
LOO feet of piling has been driven to Q

strong current, caused by a change in the
river channel, is liable to undermine this
work, though the present action Of the
water is banking up sand along the line.

east side of the river. He has his eve

point the team will go to sew

LINCOLN WILL STICK.
The Nebraska Capital Not Afraid
of n FreeZe-Out.


of n Freeze-Out.
A Lincoln correspondent. commenting
on the proposition to drop out three
western association cities, says:
There are only two ways by which
this can be accomplished. II two-thirds
OF the league vote together on any one
question they can change the constitu-
ton and admit Detroit ana the other
clubs. If they Should vote upon the
admission Of the ninth club to member
ship in the league, Lincoln. Denver and
Sioux City could vote against the al
mission. This is an etfectual barrier.
Inc other method for accomplishing the
result would be for the five clubs to
draw out of the association. If they do
this then all the players and franchises
are the property of the three
clubs remaining in the association.
The three clubs could reorgan-
lze the five clubs, keeping out the i've
managers who had deserted. Manager
Dave Rowe was seen the other day rela-
i've to this matter and treated it lightly.
Said he: Don't pay any attention to
the st. Paul man. He knows nothing
at all about base ball matters. 1t is an
lmposslblllty to drop the clubs men

count the sale of her players. Next year

MIR. Rowe said further that his
brother, Jack Rowe, was commanding a
salary Of $4,000 a year. and that was
more than Lincoln could afford. But if
Jack wanted an interest in the CLUB he
would give it to him in order to get him
to play.
