CROSS SECTION OF ROAD AND DRAIN.
times the rubble or field stone is placed
in direct contact with the pipe, being
carefully laid against it on either side to
support it in constant position, while at
the top Of tho stone layer is placed a
compact layer of sod, which serves to
prevent the passage of earth through the
loose stone and into the channel Of the
pipe.
But excellent drains are often made
without the use of draintile, and where
tile cannot be readily obtained other
methods may be substituted with ad-
vantage. In stiff, firm soils drainage
has been very we'll effected by simply
digging n uniform ditch of the proper
depth, form and grade and filling it to a
depth of two or three feet at the bottom
with irregular powders and rough field
stone of such size and shape as TO insure
loose. open structure through which
the water will readily pass. Over this
is placed layer of sod, straw or coarse
marsh grass and the top finally COM
pleted with the material which forms
the roadway surface.

opening through which the water may

ROBBED AND OUTRAGED.
Three Men Arrested on Complaint OF \
Young servant Girl.

Young servant Girl.
New YORK, August 13.-The story
of assault and robbery In which the vic
tim is poor German servant girl, only
year in this country, was told to-day
in the Yorkvlle Police Court. when
Policeman Abraham Philips, OF the
East Flfty-frst street station, arraigned
Thomas Mcguire, twenty years old. OF
No. 125 Fifty-third street; John McEv-
lily, twenty years old, Of No. l04 East
Flfty-second street, and Patrick Nolan,
twenty-five years old, OF No. 223 East
Fifty-third street, charged with the
the above offenses by Manler Farris, the
complainant.
About two o'clock this morning, while
Policeman Phillips was on duty at Third
avenue and FIfty-fourth street, he saw
the complainant In company with Ma
gnire and McEyily. She was crying and
her clothing was torn aud disarrauged.
As soon as she saw the policeman the
young woman ran np 10 him aud tod
him in German, which Phillips foTtu-
nately understood, that she had been
robbed and assaulted by four men. two
of whom were Mcguire and Newly.
TheN. latter were acquainted with Phil
lips and ssked him what she had told
him. AS he>tssared that the men might
try TO escape II fNe told them the seri-
GUS nature Of the charge made by the
woman, Phillips said t.hat she had been
robbed by some one, and though Ma
guire and McEvily were not'yery will
ing to go. be took the woman>d-a1 the
two men TO the police station.
The young woman stated that while
passing through Forty-second street
she was accosted by Mcguire and Nc
Eyily, and when she told them where
she was going they said they would
show her the way.
Instead OF doing so the men took her
to a livery stable owned by Magulre's
father. The woman refused to enter
and they forced her upstairs to room
occupied by Patrick Nolan, employed
as a watchman In the stable.
There the unfortunate woman was
gagged. her clothes torn from her, and
She was assaulted by Maguire, McEylly,
Nolan and another man, whose Identity
ia so far unknown. The heartless ruff
fans then robbed the young woman OF
her parasol, a ring worth $50 and her
pocketbook, containing $40.
Nolan denied the assault, but finally
admitted that the woman was brought
there by Magure and Newly, aud
that he was afraid TO offer any objec-
tlons through fear that they would whip
him.
The accused denied the charge against
them when arraigned In court, but were
held for further examination. The po-
lice expect to have the fourth assailant
in custody by to-day.

Further Evidence of Cruelty in the
Asyfum-Two Murders Charged to At
tendnnts.
DAYTON. O., August l2.-The recent
f6,ssDa. Asylum scandal is again before
the nubGte for further consideration.
Coroner Hshne yesterday announced his
verdict in the caseNof George Morris,
one of The inmates OF rtRe institution
whose death is alleged to have been the
result of violence received at the h-,Id
OF attendants.
The startling feature Of the verdict
is that II. o. Collins, the attending ply
sicIan, who was in reality acting Super
Iptendent during the Illness Of DR.. j. A.
Romspert, is accused Of gross negll-
gence.
The first case that attracted attention
to the way the asylum was conducted
was that OF George Smith, the Preole
county patient, for whose alleged muir
der Attendants A. A. Stewart and
Alonzo y. Miller, attendants OF fatal
Ward IS, are now under indictment.
Following closely upon the footsteps OF
this case, and prior to the arrest OF
Stewart and Miller, the body CT George
Morris, a Butler county patient, and
also an inmate of Ward is, was ex-
humed and an atopsy was made by DR..
C. A. Bonner. This step was taken by
Coroner Hahne on a statement made by
James Bell, an inmate OF the ward, who
said that on repeated occasions he had
witnessed Attendants Stewart and Mil
Ter beat the deceased, and who ventur-
ed the assertion that If they would raise
the body they would find evidences OF
brutal treatment. The result Of the au-
topsv corroborated Bells statements.
Broken ribs were found, and there were
in addition other unmiStakeable signs
of brutal violence, prominent among
which was an extensive scalp wound,
indicating that blood vessel had been
ruptured.
Norris death occurred on June 6. The
autopsy was made several weeks later,
at which time the official records at the
asylum showed his death, but assigned
no cause.
The report Of c. A. Bonner, who
made the autopsy In the presence OF
DR.. Hahne, Yves also submitted to-day.
The report states that the external ex-
animation revealed fractures OF ribs on
both sides, while large scalp wound
was visible on the back part OF
the head. Ribs were found which had
been broken and completely healed;
other ribs which had only partially
united, and still others which were com
pletely separated, thus indicating the
correctness Of Bells statements when
he said that he had seen the attendants
beat him on numerous occasions. After
au extended statement Of his discov-
cries, DR.. Bonner concludes by giving
It as his opinion that death was the re-
suit of described injuries.

Chicago Citizens WIN Endoavor to Secure
the Art Building For That Purpose.
CHICAGO, August 13.-That the be-
ginning of the end of the Worlds Fair
is near at hand was indicated by the
action of the local directory yesterday.
1t appointed a committee, consisting Of
President ginbotham, Director Gen
eral Davis and J. w. Scott, TO call at an
early date mass meeting OF citizens,
and endeavor TO secure for Chicago
permanent museum Of natural history.
Many exhibitors at the Worlds Fair are
already beginning TO arrange for the
disposal of their exhibits. They Will
not take them back home, and num-
ber OF applicants are after them.
Thus the fine mineral exhibit OF New
South Wales cost for transportation to
Chicago several thousand dollars, and 1t
is practically valueless at home. There
are many exhibits of similar nature
which could be obtained without cost.
A plan suggested at the meeting yester-
day was to secure, through local organi-
cation, the art gallery and make IL the
home for magnificent and permanent
museum. The directory also author
lied Chief Thorpe to sell. for delivery
after November l, the exhibits in the
horticultural department which had
been donated to the fair.

WAsHNGroS, d, c., August "a
Congress has settled down 10 debate
with a degree Of expedition almost uu-
known in its history and with apparent
determination 10 do something that
promises well for the outcome.
Fortunately for the majority in the
Senate. the action OF the House on the
silver question relieved them from the
necessity Of speedy and perhaps ill-ad-
Vised action.
The Democratic caucus committee
charged with the preparation Of plan
that should secure the adherence OF the
nnited majority will therefore COM
mepce its labors with more deiiberation
than would otherwise have been possi-
bic. and it is not expected now that
they will perfect their work, which IN

has acted.

likely 10 figure in q formal way In the
proceedings OF the Senate this week.
Itis entirely possible, and even prob
Rble that speeches will be delivered

for vote upon the repeal or the silver

for immediate action. There IS strong
disposition in some quarters 20 hlI 10
the time during the week ov the dis
cussion of the Lee Mantle Senatorial
election case, which is in privileged
position and can be called 40 at any
time 20 the displacement OF other Ousl-
ness.
Tbe programme in the House has
been definitely fyed by the adoption OF
the order introduced Friday last by
Reuresentativc Bland. The time will
be devoted exclusively 90 tte consider
alton OF the silver question under the
rules of The last House governing gen
eraI debate. Notwithstanding the ap-
parent lack OF interest in the discussion
manifested by members Saturday, the
number OF applicants for recognition
already ON the Speakers list demon
strates that the period allotted
20 the deDate-eleven days under
the general rules and three
days under the Eve minutes rule-will
be all occupied. There are now be-
tween ninety and a hundred names en-
rolled by the Speaker, the great ma
iority OF whom probably exDecttO talk
the full hour allowed by the rule.
There are number, however, who
have stipulated for shorter periods, gen
orally twenty minutes, or half an hour.
Ifitappears that the time for debate
will be too short 90 accommodate all
who wish TO speak, night sessions will
be held, TO lengthen the period, but
this expedieRt, IL is believed, will not
become necessary before next week
with the expiration OF which the de-
hate will close.

norton of the hill had collapsed
and immense flames, stones and cinders
were issuing therefrom. The steamers
officers report having seen column OF
FIRE many miles away. The flames we're
plainly visible at night, as there are no
woods TO cause this, it might be Of a
purely volcanic origin. In the opinion
of those in ST.. Johns acquainted with
the locality, the affair is the result OF
agitation OF the earth's internal fires, as
Labrador is north Of the sphere OF vol
