AT THE SOUTHERN HOSPITAL.

Superintendent Thomas and the Directors
Deny the Truth of Certain Charges.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE. Ind, Feb. 3.-Grave charges
against the trustees and MANAGEMENT of
the Southern hospital. at this point. have
been made to the State Legislature, and
tonight the Senate and House committees
on benevolent institutions arrived. headed
by chsirmen Hench and Leyden. and will
institute an investigation at once. 1t is
claimed that trustee Rahm has
been employing his own teams
in doing hauling and grading
on the hospital grounds. Trustee Wertz
is accused of removing to this city and
purchasing drug store IN order to furnish
medicine TO the institution. and Superin-
tendent Thomas Is accused of neglect and
cruelty to his patients. the specific charge
being that he compelled them to cut ice
without gloves or necessary pro-
lection. Dr. Thomas tonight said
to your correspondent: 1.-The charges
ba ass to ease of
the kind, and If ever suspected an at
tendant on this score, | didn't wait fox
proof. but discharged him at Onoe. Patients

Director Rahm also denies the charges
against him. and thinks the accusations
came from the farmers who object to the
present sewerage Of the asylum, which
Is not the best that could be had, but
which the trustees hope to remedy during
the coming year. DIR. Wertz said tonight:
There is absolutely no truth in the report
that preferred charges against any one.
Everything about the hospital has been
managed satisfactorily. We are anxious TO
have citizens inspect the institution and
see how 1t is being Q run. Much ill feeling
has arisen over the sewerage question.
One person in particular has made himself
otficious, and has put the board to u great
deal OF trouble. DO not wish to mention
names just now. but if any charges be
brought may submit some myself. In re-
gard to other matters l have nothing to
say. as there is no complaint to offer"
Did you furnish the institution
with medicines or any thing elseW
"So. My position would not allow it.

well-known contractor yesterday. "Peo-

they did few years ago. Contractors
have to figure closer too, but it keeps us
busy and that is what we want"

Vicious. The sites of the Chatham Artil-
lery centennial grounds, where in 1886 the
company celebrated its Tooth birthday,

park, which were then considered out of
the city, are now covered with handsome
residences. The open fields west of the
White Bluff road are dotted with cottages

were planted few years ago,
are beginning to be travelled
and with the extension of the Barnard

the water mains, which is now in progress,
the conveniences of living in what few
years ago was looked upon as out in the
woods, will be equal to those in what is
now the city proper
