MRS. CARRIERS STORY
Why Her Room Was
Changed.
TALKS TO THE ALDERMEN.


His Honor Mayor Carroll and an the
members OF the Board OF Aldermen took
carriages shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon and proceeded to the City
Asylum.
The visit was for the purpose of inves-
tigating the complaints submitted to the
Mayor and members OF the Committee on
Poor by Mrs. Minnie K. Carter, one OF
tho inmates.
Soon after their arrival the members Of
the Board were conducted to Mrs. Carter's
room and the investigation was begun.
Mrs. Carter. told her story In her own
way and made several severe charges
against the management.
She said, among other things, that
shortly after the previous investigation
she was removed to her present room and
practically made prisoner therein, being
allowed to see neither inmates or neigh
bors, although both would be willing to
relieve the monotony by spending some
time with her.
She knew Of Mrs. Hattie Polsey being
denied leave to visit her. She was in
formed by Mrs. Nye that the reason OF
her removal from her other comfortable
room was because she had testified against
Mr.. Peckham at the investigation.
One of the inmates named Terence
Monaghan used to speak to her when In
the other room, and used to let her have
reading matter, but since she was re-
moved he was not allowed TO como near
her or furnish her with any books or
magazines as formerly.
She was told by Mr.. Nye that he and
Peck ham were on the lookout to catch
Monaghan In some scrapc, which, she
thought, was neither just to him nor her,
and no gentleman would make any such
insinuation to one in her condition of
helplessness.
She informed Mrs. Nye that she was
going to write to Mayor Goodwin and the
Committee on Poor last year and was
bluntiy told 1t would not avail her
anything a. Mr.. Peckham had too many
friends.
The room from which she was taken was
good airy room with good means OF
ventilation, which was not the case with
the present one, as windows were only
on one side, in front OF which was a tin
roof, upon which the sun beat down
numerically all the forenoon. There was
also large chimney In her present room
which was always during Winter and
Summer heated to great extent as the
large range in the cellar was connected
with 1t.
After an informal conversation among
the members II was agreed to make an ef-
fort to have her taken to her brothers
house and that the city help to pay her
expenses. II that cannot be done she
must have the room she formerly used.
