A TERRIBLE STORY.
Arrangement of the City and
County Hospital Officials.

A committee Of sixteen ladies connected
with the Order of the Good Shepherd paid
a visit of inspection to the City and County
Hospital yesterday, and the result as mar
rated by two Of the committee last night
was the reverse of credtable to the officers
of that institution. Their statement was in
effect as follows:
1.-The first thing that attracted our atten-
ton as we reached the gate was a poor
woman, who was coming out and who
seemed to be cropping her way. Upon in
terrogating her we found the woman was
very nearly blind. She said she wanted TO
go to the corner of Third and Howard
streets, but her eYesight was so far gone
that she could not find her way to the cars
She was carrying large bundle and was
very weak. She said that she had been in
the hospital six months, undergoing treat
meut for her eyes, but that she had re-
ceived no benefit.
I've asked her why she had left and she
replied that they had discharged her. She
had no home nor any one to take care of her,
and they knew this, but notwithstanding
that fact she had not been given any notice
or time for preparation. A few minutes
after she was notified of her discharge she
was where they found her. Now, that is a
sort of refinement of cruelty to turn poor
creatures into the street without notification
or time for preparation.
Upon further investigation we found
that the foGd furnished the sick and con-
valescent was very poor, and altogether
inadequate to their wants. We learned from
many patients. and their statements were
cOrroborated by the cook, that their meals
consisted of mush and molasses for break
fast, soup and soup meat for dinner, and
mush and molasses for supper. We asked
one of the female patients whether the mush
was good. She replied: oh, yes. but we
get tired of it, We did not consider the
food at all suitable for sick people.
IAN examination Of the beds proved TO be
equally unsatisfactory. Each patient was
furnished with one straw pillow and an
other of some sort of hard material, which
gave no rest to the head. The mattresses
were as hard as boards and they are on un-
comfortable iron beds. They are not only
not comfortable, but they are decidedly I'M
comfortable, yet upon such couches weak,
sick and dying patients, their limbs fester-
ing with ulcers, are compelled to lie. In
some of the wards there was a degree Of
cleapness, but as rule the air is bad and
the atmosphere is permeated with the fetid
pdor OF uncleaned vessels. The ventilation

Charles Schaefer's Account of e Fight in
Which He Figured.
Charles Schaefer, stalwart German, pre-
sented himself at the Southern Station las
night and in excited and broken terms re.
lated story of an encounter in which, ac-
cording to his version, he covered himself
with glory several yards deep.
He was going from his home at 431I Ham
mond street to shoe-store on Market, and
while crossing West Mission two hoodlums
accosted him, asking the time of night.
"Seven o'clock" replied Mr.. Schaefer, and
''You - liar" added the hoOdlums, and
with further oaths pounced upon the unof-
fensive pedestrian. But they mistook the
quality Of their man, for in a twinkling both
assailants were upon their backs bowling
Though"
The cry, however, called about twenty
cOnfederates to the scene, and in moment
more Schaefer was also upon the ground,
with forty fists raining blow upon blow
upon his PROSTATE form. But was he van
ouished? Perish the thought. BY a super
human effort he arose to his feet, crying
Justify for help, but at the same time send
ing blows right and left and scattering the
hoodlums.
Selling one by the coat-tail, he succeeded
in divesting him of that adjunct to his
wearing apparel, but unfortunately the
garment was afterward lost, and with it the
clew to the perpetrators Of the dastardly
attack. The police will inquire into the
affair, however,

Daring Larcenies of Flour
Stopped by the Police.

A stop has been put by the police to a
systematic series Of thefts of flour from
the warehouse of Haslitt & Bailey on the
corner Of Spear and Harrison streets Will
lam Gelstou, assistant foreman of the ware
house, and George SeXsmith, an express
man, were arrested yesterday morning and
booked at the City Prison on two charges
of grand larceny. }. P. Rusconi and j. f.
Perrin, who conduct grocery at the corner
of Brannan and Rircli streets, were also
gathered in and charged with receiving
stolen goods, they being accused of having
purchased two wagon-loads Of the stolen
flour.
Gelston was trusted employe at the
warehouse, and It is claimed that he entered
into conspiracy with the expressman and
the arrested grocers to steal the -four. The
expressman would drive to the flume on the
HarrisOn-street side of the warehouse, and
Gelst0n would send the flour down to the
wagon. The assistant foreman was sup
POSED 10 have an order from the bOOk-keeper
for all the -four delivered, but he had no
orders for the sacks loaded on Sexsmith's
wagon. Grocers Rusconi and Perini were
supplied with the flour at prices far below
first cost, and for this reason the arrest
ing officers claim that they knew 1t was
stolen.
In all several hundred dollars worth of
the flour was stolen, and a quantity of it
sold to North Beach grocers, who had no
suspicion of the manner in which it came
into Sexsmith's possession. Gelston and
Sexsmith are supposed to have equally di-
vided the money received from the stolen
fu,Ir.

is wretched. and no fires are allowed in the
wards to take the chill off the air during the
damp cold days of winter.
There are arbitrary rules regulating the
admission of visitors. We informed the
gentle Cerberus who guarded the gates that
we were armed with a permit from the
Mayor. We were somewhat surprised at
being told that the Major had nothing what
ever to do with that institution; that it was
run or general principles of Its own. and
that one OF the peremptory orders not to be
disregarded was that no one wearing the
enter the gates under any circumstances.
This order, prohibiting the visit of any sect,
appeared so preposterouS that we required
to have 1t confirmed by DR.. Healy himself
before we would give it credence. But it
was really So That functionary, who could
defy an order from the Mayor, could also
dictate what creeds should pass the sacred
