AN OVERCROWDED JAIL.


Sanitary Precautions Taken Against the
Spread of Disease.
Owing to the fact that the Police Judges
have been sending the common drunkaIds,
opium fiends, Migrants and lesser criminals
TO serve short terms Of imprisonment in the
County Jail, Chief Jailor Patterson has been
at his wits end Tor the past fortnight 70 pro-
vide accommodation for the steady stream
of prisoners and keep the Jail in proper san
itary condition.
The building at present contains DDS pris-
onerS. though it has only accommodations
for 100 TO 40, and this number is being
added to daily at the rate of from six to ten,
while in consequence of the idleness OF the
criminal departments of the Superior Court
there is practically no decrease i'll the num-
Der of defendants awaiting trial. The over
crOwding is now so great that nineteen
short-term prisoners are at present confined
in the narrow quarters OF the garnet.
The overcrowded condition of the Jail is a.
matter Of great concern to Chief Patterson,
who, in view of the great prevalence of sick
ness in the city, is taking every precaution
to keep it from gaining foothold in the
prison. DR.. Yemans, the City Physician,
visits the place daily and makes a personal
inspection, the cells are fumigated every
twenty-four hours. and strict attention is
paid to all sanitary regulations. In cODse-
queDce of this watchfulness, no sickness
has yet been reported, but the prisoners all
complain of the lack of fresh air, which is
causing them great personal discomfort.
To remedy this as far as possible, the
doors in the upper corridor will in future
be left wide open, but prisoners will not be
allowed to leave their cells. To prevent es-
capes, the bar-door at the entrance viii be
kept closed and guard will be on constant
duty.
Jailer Patterson, who has resigned his
position, to take effect on the 1st prnx.. will
be succeeded by Deputy Sheriff Hadler, who
will enter upon the duties of the office next

BEN NAPTHALY AGAIN.


Judge Rix Denounces His Methods From
the Bench.
Something of a scene occurred in Police
Judge RiX'S court yesterday morning when
the case Of John Fogarty, the saloon man
was called. Fosarty, some time ago. was
convicted of selling liquor without license
aud sentenced to pay fine of 500, or be
imprisoned for 100 days. He appealed from
the decision, and, pending the hearing in
the Superior Court, was admitted to bail.
AS the higher court sustained the validity of
Judge RiX's decision. bench warrant was
issued for the defendant. but his attorney,
as it is claimed. by false represen tations to
Clerk Doran, obtained his clients freedom
Immediately after.
Judge Riy, on learning Of the imposition
practiced upon the clerk. cited Benjamin f.
Napthaly, the attorney referred 10, to ex-
plain his conduct. This he attempted to do
yesterday morning by standing majestically
on his word as gentleman and his honor as
a lawyer. bu' the Judge had heard similar
Wanting language before, and Dluntly in
timated the estimate he placed upon it by
stating that he always tried to believe att0r-
neys, but in this instance was sorry to say
he could not.
Thereupon Napthaly, boiling with rage
and assuming that Sergeant McKenna, who
has charge of all cases in which the liquor
law is involved, had communicated some
damaging information against him to the
Court, inveighed against that official with
all the billingsgate at his disposal, but was
checked in his onslaught by threat of fine
and committal for contempt.
Napthaly then pleaded for time for his
client, but on this point the Judge was mex
orabe, and the crestfallen attorney pro-
duced 500 from his pocket, paid Fogarty's
fine under protest. and the matter dropped.

Men and Hor,e. Fall 100 Feat,

James Wilson and john Martin, residing
near Edwardsville, went to New Albany
yesterday afternoon to procure a coffin in
which to bury James Routh. On their re-
turn from the city the heavy rain-storm
came up, and the sky became so dark that
they were unable to see the foad ahead of
them, and they trusted to their horses to
take them safely along the dangerous high
way.
At the point where the storm overlook
them the road winds around the high hills,
and in many places passes near high preci-
pices. The rain was pouring down in tor
rents, and it was only when the lightning
flashed they were enabled to see the road
at all.
Suddenly there was brilliant flash of
lightning, followed by deafening peal of
thunder. which stunned the men and seemed
to stagger the horses. Before they could re-
cover from the shock the horses and wagon
fell over a precipce, and all went down
distance OF ITO feet Some men who were
passing heard the cries of distress and
went TO their assistance. They found
the men and the horses and wagon in
deep hollow, more than one hundred feet
below where the road passes the top of the
precipice. Wilson was almost unconscious,
while his companion lay near him bruised
and bleeding. One of the horses was dead
and the other so badly crippled that it will
have to be killed. The wagon and the
coffin were both smashed to pieces.
The men were gotten out of the place and
taken to their homes. Wilson is the most
seriously injured, and it Is thought he cannot
live. Martins injuries are of a serious
nature, and his recovery is matter of con-
siderable doubt.-LouisyIlle Commercial.

At the first exhibition Of the American
Water Color Society there were women out
in capes OF irridescent feathers last Thurs
day evening. A woman who looked like
Mrs. Holman Hunt, except that she did not
wear the purtanic bonnet in which that lady
usually appears in London, wore one of
them, and very strange she looked with the
pompadour ruff and the high shoulder putfs
all cleaning with the light Of a thousand
tropical humming birds. Her dress was
dark silk shot with black and a Steely blue,
its draperies caught here and there with
faceted ornaments of curious shapes in bur-
nished metal. She was slight and dark,
tendrils of hair foated about her face, and
her snug, clOse-ftting little cap was covered
with the dark shining plumage. 1t was
unique, cruel, most effective.

And our women. To see them is to feel
ones self out of school. They have spring,
buoyancy, a delightful air Of happy conf
dence that the world was made for them
and will yield them all its pleasant things
that strikes home to the wauderer who has
looked furtively about for the governess, and
has felt a lurking fear of getting no jam for
supper if her elbows were not held at just
the right angle as she walked in the stiff,
straight English procession that always sug-
gests seminary pupils being led as to ex-
ecUtion, for an airing.
Yes, she is charming the American woman.
When you see her afresh after an absence
for summer you eXut as you look on the
splendid developed figure, the bright eyes
and teeth, and the atmosphere of health you
faneied you might have left on the other side
of the Atlantic, and then as she smiles you
stand bewidered by the greater refinement

with which the English type seems coarse,

1t is only the rare girl who makes herself
pretty, for hair nowadays commonly looks
rs if it were weeks since it had seen brush
or comb. The very low knots are worst in
this particular for they fray out almost with
the movement of the lips or the turning of
the eyes. Nevertheless, for curly locks
they are very pretty when a girl is young
enough aud picturesque enough to stand
such framing OF her face by the loose ten
against her collar. At last there is a
couture for the tip-tiited nose; three soft
puifs, one above another on the top Of the
head, seems To suit it famously.

that one almost thought to see the long
silky yellowish hairs with which the medal
lions that brocaded her gown were covered

those dainty draperies ran two lengths of

hand, growing WIDER as they neared the
bottom. On her head was set toque of
russell cloth with no trimming but an eagles
feather fastened with pin of twisted gold.

satin, and about the throat were four huge
boX-plated black velvet frills, coming up to
