a TERRIBLE CONDITION OF THINGS
Gross NIismanagement OF an Orphanage
by Minister.

GROSS Mismanagement OF an OrphanaCe
by IA Minister.
DUBLIN, Oct. 2s.-TSpecial Some
startling testimony was given o.day at
the trial of Rev. Samuel Cotton, a rector
at Carnogh, county of Kildare, charged
with criminal neglect and ill-treatment
of children in tho Carnogh Orphanage.
Rev. Samuel Cotton, who has conducted
the affairs of the orphanage for num-
Der OF years, has made many appeals to
the public for financial aid, and has re-
ceived large sums of money by subscrip-
ton for the maintenance of the orphan
age.
owing to numerous complaints which
have been made against that stitution
the Society for the Protect of Chill
dren recently mado an investigation
into the manner in which tho orph anage
was conducted and thereby horrible
state of affairs was revealed.
Agents of the children's society, DUR
ing their investigation, found that the
children OF the orphanage were in an
emaoiated, filthy and ragged condition,
and that they were covered with para
sites. The toes Of one of the children.
1T was testified to. had rotted off.
Another, girl, had been chained by
tho legs to log.
The rooms of the orphanage were also
found to be in the filthiest possible con-
dition. In a kitchen was found a baby.
Six weeks old, covered with dirty rags
and dying of cold and Illumination.
Other children were found in tho same
apartment, crouched around small
lire, almost frozen and half starved.
All were weak and sickly, and their
growth has been stunted by tho treat
ment received under Rev. Mr. Cotton's
management. The sanitary condition
of tn whole establishment was found
to be perfectly horrible.
Walls and floors were in beastlv
condition and some beds used by tho
unfortunate children were merely old
boxes and packing cases filled with
stale hay. 1t was also shown that all
the children were kept in perpetual
state of terror by Rev. Mr.. Cotton and
that it would be difficult to imagine a
moro deplorable or blamable state of
things.
Cotton was committed for taial, how
ever, being allowed to attend the synod
OF the diocese, of which body he is q
member.

NEWMAN, Ca, Oct. Special
This city has again been visited by fire.
Last night T. w. Howell s. Co.'s ware
house, containing 1000 tons OF cotton,
was destroyed. The wind was wild and
for three hours the town seemed to bo
at the mercy of the elements. All
stores on the west side Of the square
were relieved of their con tents and tho
Newman Guards put on duty. About
100 bales Of cotton on tho platform of
the burning building were removed
after fierce fight. Every one who
could shoulder a muske. and carry
water was put to work
AT o'clock this morning another
alarm sounded, and in.five minutes five
hundred men, with buckets Of water,
were at the warehouse. of Russell.
Gibson &c Co, working to save 1t.
Nearly 200 bales Of cotton were on the
outside platform. BY hard work, the
building was saved, hut fifty bales of
cotton were burned. The fire was evil

low Patten street it shall be fourteen
feet wido and four feet deep. In this
short distance the capacity of the drain
is nearly doubled.
If the length OF the present inter
oeptor, as projected, were applied to it's
cwn channel, it would extend as far as
Grocer Furnace, or almost to Tinker
creek, and on account of the greater
force and increased velocity a larger
quantity OF water could be discharged,
and tho same rise of twelve feet in
Tinker creek, instead Of backing as high
water in the river would to the ice fac
tory, would back up only as far as Ran
dolph street. On account of the.topog-
raphy OF the country along the natural
drainage the construction of tho sewer
could be made for very much less than
that OF the proposed interceptor, run
ming to the south and emptying into
the river.
II as Mr.. Herring claims largo portion
OF Roanof Q is lower than the river, 1t
would seem bad policy to open up q
channel so that this portion of the city
could be overlooked. Before this sewer
can be trusted to do its full capacity of
work the four overflow sewers mon
toned In Mr.. Hering's report will have
to be constructed in order to keep from
damaging the lower part of the city.
Mr.. Herring gives no reason why he
should advocate the separate system of
sewerage east of the interceptor, while
the interceptor itself is used as a COM
pined sewer. If the inter ceptor will do
as com blned sewer on it's proposed To-
cation, why will not com bined sewer
along the line of the creek do just as
we'll?

ments to Europe.


ments to Europe.
The speculative situation is set forth In the
following wireling from Watson d Gibson to
John M. Oakley & Co.:
The London prices for Americans came in
about on parity with our closing of yesterday.
II there had been any pressure Of long stocks
there and the panicky feeling represented as
prevailing abroad, these prices should have
come In lower. az, indeed, also should have
come the quotations on consols. As a matter
of fact oonsols we're higher. The market sold
OF fractionally, but it was dull.
The bank statement appeared, when the
market took y downward plunge which carried
the prices of point within Is minutes. This
statement showed loss of 81, 000.0 900 in reserve
and $35O, 600 in actual cash, but that was not
worse than expected. The fresh selling of the
last minute, therefore, looked like concocted
we know how much more gold 10 going abroad
we can't Judge of the immediate course of the
market, but when the shower Of gold exports
Is over the market is sure to have sharp rally.
Then the eyes and thoughts OF traders will be
turned to the railway and crop situation.
One good sign In our ofdce to-day was buying
Tor investors who will pay outright for the
stocks. Another good sign Is that during the
past few days several new buying speculative
accounts have been opened In our Office. The
selling Is led by thepurely speculative trading
abate this element will be anxious bidders.
The loss of gold will compel higher interest
rates here and the receipt OF 1t abroad will ease
them there, SO that both ways the influence 10
to check the outflow. The scare will sbste
probably before this time next week.

Leading Motive.

able Monetary Conditions the
Leading Motive.
NEW YORK, May 9-The stock market was
active for the short session to-day, and the
weakness which has been the feature Of the
week eliminated in sharp dec lining In the last
half hour, when the lowest prices OF the week
were reached in all the leading shares. The
prime moving force In the market Is now the
unexpectedly large shipments Of gold, and while
the weakness in the rates for foreign
exchange Is regarded as indicating
an early end of tho gold ship
Tnents, the heavy drain n the resources OF the
banks has begun to be felt in the rates for
money, and operators find themselves unable
to carry the stocks with which they are loaded
In many cases. Some Of these shipments how
ever, which are scarcely justined oy the rates
are said to have been brought about by the
same parties who succeeded In locking up
money last fall in order to lower the market,
and for the same purpose. There fs NO other
explanation of the unusual outgo of gold at
the low rates of exchange prevailing.
The market started to-day with some press
ure to sell, apparently he remains OF yester.
days movement, but there were indications of
inside buying in Missouri Pacific, and Of buy
ing OF other stocks by operators who were
working for a reaction when the market was
ence made itself felt. and general rally Of
small proportions was brought about. The
bank statement, however, which was ex-
pected to be bad, showed loss to the sur
plus reserve Of nearly s. 700. .000 and as 1t was
known to reflect only portion Of to-day's
outgo of gold, the inference was that the
actual condition of the banks Is not SO favor
able as indicated by the statement. The selling
movement was resumed with increased vigor,
therefore, and even the strongest stocks
yielded readily, and almost all the first stocks
lostover per cent from the best prices of the
early dealings.
There was an effort to cover on the decline,
however. and the buying in the last few minutes
actually sreadied the market and brought
prices in some instances up small fractions.
The close was steady at the rally, but at close
to the lowest figures. The final changes are
generally losses Of large fractions, and Union
Pacific is down ~, and Reading and Louisville
each l per cent. The trading reached 1884
listed and II, ,2e3 unlisted, st. Paul contributing
35720.
Railroad bonds were not so active as stocks.

played, and on business OF only S407, 900
