Horrible Abuse Of Orphans.

Horrible Abuse Of Orphans.
DUBLIN, October 30.-Some startling testi-
mony was given at the trial of Rev. Samuel
Cotton, a rector of Carnogh. county Kildare,
who was charged with criminal neglect and
i'll treatment of children in Carnogh Or
phanage.
The Rev. Samuel Cotton, who has con-
Quoted the affairs of the orphanage for years,
has made many appeals to the public for
financial aid, and has received large sums of
money by subscription. Owing to numerous
complaints which have been made against
that institution, the society for the protec-
ton of children recently made investigation
into the manner In which the orphanage was
conducted and thereby horrible state of
affairs was revealed.
Agents of the chlldrens' society found that
the children of the orphanage were in an
emaciated, filthy and ragged condition, and
that they were covered with parasites. The
toes of one of tho children had rotted off;
another girl had been chained by the legs to
a log. The rooms of the orphanage were
also found to be in the filthiest possible con-
ditlon. In the kitchen was found baby SIX
weeks old, covered with dirty rags and dying
of cold and lnsttention. Other children were
found in the same apartment crouched
around small fire almost frozen and half
starved. ALI of them were weak and sickly
and their growth had been stunted by the
treatment received under Rev. Mr.. Cotton's
management. The sanitary condition of the
whole establishment was found to be per-
fectly horrible. The walls and floors were in
beastly condition and some of the beds used
by the unfortunate childred were merely old
boxes aud packing cases filled with stale hay.
It was also shown that all the children were
kept in a perpetual state of terror by the
Rev. Mr.. Cotton, and that it would be diff
cult even to imagine a more deplorable state
of things. The Rev. Mr.. Cotton was COM
united for trial, bail, however, being allowed
in order to enable him to attend the synod of
Downs, of which body he is q member.

NV YoHK, November 2.-R q. Dun 4
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
improvement in business continues. It =
greater than before at the west, connderabls
at the sonth, and 10 clearly perceived even 1t
the east. Yet the encouragement in some
branches Of industry il not lsss. but
more apparent than before. evidently b.
cause calculations have boon made upon Q
moro rapid and greater increase in business
than has been realised.
Premature expansion in some forms Of
production and trade has invited the usual
corrective. and disposition exists which Is 20
general that ii might easily b misrspre-
sonted.
The iron industry shows tho most change.
Extreme anxiety to sell pig iron and finan-
cial weakness in unexpected quarters pro-
duced the present depression, which il in
curious contrast with the aboundlng conf
dence which prevails regarding the future.
The plate mills have fair business at the
lowest prices ever recorced, and structural
iron 10 irregular and also very low.
The anthracite coal market is very cheer
full. Copper 10 depressed by heavy sales.
Tin has gone below 20 cents, and lead sold
down to IL cents.
Woods are somewhat easier. The press
goods market il active and the works arc
we'll employed, though at narrow margins OF
profit. The cotton mills have an increasing
business in fancies, but trade in staples il
falling of. and buyers urge that lower prices
are justified by tho decline in raw cotton;
yet southern demand is better and trade on
tho whole is fairly good.
Reports from other cities are decidedly
more encouraging than usual, though at the
east the improvement is not rapid.
Speculation in breadstuffs advanced prices
this week, partly on account of the reported
prohibition Of wheat exports from Russia.
The receipts ut the west have been 8, 8S4, 600
bushels IN four days, against exports OF
1,305. 900, and yet the price rises cents.
Without any excuse. speculation n1anipula-
ton has hoisted corn cents, but pork pro-
ducts are q shade lower.
No fears arc entertained of q monetary
pressure. Throughout ths east and west and
at most southern points, the money markets
arc we'll supplied for legitimate business. and
rates tend lower, while collections improve
to some extent almost everywhere, but esps-
cialiy at the principal western points.
Business failures for the past week wsre
255, compared with 246 the previous week and
the corresponding week of last year-21a

Foolish English Papers.
LONDON, November 3-The Times pub
fishes letter signed IAN American" assert
ing that the attitude of the United States in
regard to Chill is entirely due to the approah-
ing elections in several American states.
The evening newspapers comment at length
upon the strained relations existing between
the United States and Chill.
According to the Pail Mall Gazette there is
no doubt but that much of the excitement 10
due to the elections. Nobody, says the Ga
zette, seriously believes that President Har-
rison will push matters to extremities.
Neither the sympathies of other countries
nor the majority of Americans will be with
him.
The St James Gazette, referring to the
same, remarks that whether President Har-
rison's rising indignation, or Mr.. Blaine's
electionesring calculations will result IN war
is doubtful"
sThe Chilians," the st. James Gazette
continues, ''are not now in q mood to sub
INIT to bullying. If the Americans have
grievances for which they can leGitimately
demand redress, Chill has equal reasons to
complain of the conduct of Mr.. E2an.
