PRISON PUNIsHMENTs.
Regarding Methods at the
Emira RefOrmatory.


AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-Mr. Litchield
was the only member of the Elmira re-
formatory investigating committee who was
on hand here this morning to take the evil
dence of some twenty-five prisoners who
have been transferred to this prison from
the reformatory. Mr.. Craig was prevented
from being present by illness and illness
in the family of DR.. Smith detained that
gentleman at his home.
James Farrell of New York, who was
1890. for grand larceny and transferred here
a year later, testified that he was padded
while in the reformatory 70 different times.

and talking and turning his head while
at work. ~.
Farrell further testified that Mr. Brock
way had struck him across the eyes with
the strap of the paddle
George Gilbert said he desired to state
that the reason for calling the first three
or four Witnesses was to illustrate the un-
just treatment of the young lads who are
sent to the reformatory for slight offenses
and were shortly afterward transferred to
state prisons for slight offenses.
Albert Jolivet was sentenced to the re-
formatory in February, 1890, for burglary
in the third degree from Troy at the age
of sixteen years. He was transferred here
few months ago. He had been padded
half dozen times while in the reformatory
and had been struck on the head with the
paddle. He had frequently been warned to
mend his ways BY Superintendent Brock
way. He had only weeks notice that he
was to be transferred to a state prison
and he knew of no reason why he should
have been transferred. He admitted that
he wanted to be transferred here so as to
get away from the reformatory punish
ments.

MAY REMOVE THE BAN.
Alleged Action of the Catholic Church
Regarding Secret Sacietie.

Regarding Secret Societies
The New Haven Register prints a story
which, If correct, would indicate that the
Iatnonc Church had materially altered its
views in the matter of its Communicates
becoming members Of secret societies. The
article says that a very important confer
ence Of the Catholic priests of this diocese
was held this week at the Episcopal res,-
oence IN Hartford, and a circular thar will
oeepiy interest every secret society man
In the United States was read.
Inc circular, which was official and
wnlch contained the results of the delibera-
uons OF council of the Catholic archbishons
of the United States was in substance tba,

prominent priest is quoted as confirm
ing the statement as to the new order Of

sources that the meeting of the Catholic
archbishops In question was that held in
Chlcago during the fair. The clergyman
quoted above is reported as saving:
There was more or less variance i'm the
opinions held on this subject in the differ

should be uniformity. The authorities in
Rome were anxious to settle the question
SO that there would be no more misunder-

play a faster and more determined game
Now Yale with her hard running back fol-
