sympHthized with their General in his
suffering. and how glad they would be
to see MIN well aud happy again and in

ANXIOUS INQUIRERS.
Assistant Seer etary Nevin TO Mayor
Wanser was besieged this morning by
friends of the Mayor who are solicitous
of his welfare Mr.. Nevin re-
ported with much pleasure that the
Mayor is getting along splendidIy.
The statement that Mrs. Wanser is at
the Hospital with the Mayor is erroneous.
The Mayor Is alone at the Hospital, and
it is an impossibility for anyone to see
him save Secretary Nevn.
The Mayor rested quietly last night.
The painful operation which the Mayor
had to undergo was remarkably success
ful. DIR. l.. Bolton Bangs, the operator,
has performed hundreds of similar oDer-
atioHs, but says that never before was
one 30 successful.
His Honor will be away from his home
aDd his Office for at least two weeks. In
the meantime Mr.. Simpson will act.
There Will be daily bulletins concerning
the Mayors condition.

not able to reverse the wheels in time TO

The engine was stopped instantly and
the mangled arm drawn from under the
wheels. The sufferer was taken to the
City DiSpensary, where Or. Marsee eX-
amined the injuries. He saw at once that
amputation was necessary TO save life, and

CONDUCT OF PRISON SOUTH.
Complaints of Ill-Treatment i'm Letter
Struggled Outside.

A letter was placed in the hands of a
Journal reporter last night, written by q
convict in the State Prison South. 1t was
a letter which had been smuggled out Of
the prison, and was not compelled 60 pass
the scrutiny of the prison officials before
finding it's way to the outer world. The
writer of the letter is serving term in
the pententiary for grand larceny and the
letter is one written 10 his wife telling her
OF the abuses said to exist within the walls
OF the prison. The letter is written on ordi-
nary MANILA wrapping paper.
The writer says the reason the convicts
not permitted 70 write TO friends about
the prison is that the officials fear an in
vestigation The bill of fare for breakfast.
he says, consists of hominy and black,
warm water, named coffee; for dinner it is

water; for supper. bread and molasses. This
is repeated, the writer says day after day.
They put it in the papers that they give
us good dinner on Thanksgiving day. but

ter. He said the guards got drunk and
abused the convicts for the fun of the thing.
The writer said he did not think the Gov
ernor knew OF the abuses, and desired his
wife to make public the contents OF the
of facts would be known. He said the der
uty warden had no feeling. Three hundred
prisoners slept in a dollhouse inadeQuately
heated by two stoves, and nearly every one
of them, he said, was suffering from a cola.
They nearly froZe during the night. He
said If prisoner complained OF being sick
he was sent TO the doctor, and in most

at him and send him back To work. The
