INSANE HOSPITAL.
Annual Report for the Year
1898
a Prosperous Year in the
Work Of This Noble Institution.
4 Large Number Of Patients treated With Ex.
csilent Results.

The annual report of the Insane Hospital
will be read with very general interest. 1t
shows that the year 1893 was one attended
with very generally good results in the
work of the institution both 40 regards the
general health and contertment of the large
number of patients treated, and good
percentage of cures which were effected.
The committee on recreation and amu.e-
ment of patients report good success attend
ing their labors. Two steamboat excursions
were given the patients during the month
of June, both being free from accidents and
proving most beneficial to the inmates
whose condition permitted them to enjoy
these outings. All possible exercise has been
afforded patients, the committee believing
that it constitutes most important curative
agency. Alarge number of games have
also been introduced into the various wards
for the occupation and amusem ent of the
inmates. In all some $l3 ,56l 90 were paid
out during the year in this department and
the gratifying results attained show that it
was money well expended.
Superintendent Sanborn reports that there
were in the hospital December l, 1899, GS5
patients 1857 men, 1928 women. Two hundred
and eighty-seven have been admitted since,
10 men, III women, making the whole
plumber under treatment 972, 527 men
445 women. There have been discharged
of this number sol, l7S men, 1913 wome,
leaving, at the close of the year, GIL, $50
men and 32l women. The per cent. of re
coveries for the year was III, being g in
over the percentage of the preceding year
which was 7.43.
Fifsy-nine patients have been supported
by their own means during the year, "a en-
tirely by the State, and 52s have received
State aid of 81 so per week, towns and in
dividuals paying the balance. There were
IL cases of diphtheria during the year,
two of which resulted fatally; other
wise the health of the patients was generally
good. The heating apparatus has been
thoroughly renovated during the year.
Other valuable improvement, have also been
made on the buildings and grounds. The
superintendent very properly calls atten
ton to the importance of Supplying the
farm stock with better accommodations.
The present buildings are dilapidated and
inadequate to properly meet the demands
upon them. The following table will show
the movement of hospital population
during the year as regards discharges and
deaths:

Temporary loans are loans made to pro-

paid during the year have no bearing upon

to the necessity of temporary loan which,

TRAIN WRECKERS
Make Bold Attempt to Wreck Trains
Is and 81.
Both Struck Distractions Near State House
Siding, This City.

A bold attempt at train wrecking was
made Friday evening, near the State House
siding, this city, by unknown parties.
As passenger train No. 25, Conductor
Mace, was pulling into the city, at the place
mentioned, the engineer heard q sound that
told him that the engine had struck some
obstruction and the train was Immediately
slowed, but as nothing out of the way was
discovered the run to the station was con-
tinucd.
When freight train No. 81 came in, half
an h ,ur later, at about the same place, the
engineer thought the engine struck some
thing on the track, but could not tell what
until he reached the Rines hill crossing,
when he saw that sleeper was being
pushed along in front of the engine.
When the depot was reached the sleeper
was found to be firmly wedged under the
cowcatcher and was removed with much
difficulty. The cowcatcher or pilot on the
engine is somewhat higher than on most en-
eines and that accounts for the position Of
the sleeper when discovered.
An examination of the engine OF train
No. IS show ed several scratches and dents
that could only have been made by very
hard substance, and the engineer was Of
the opinion that the obstruction was either
heap of rocks or old iron. He also said
tina. about 10 days ago his engine struck a
small pile of short boards on the track be-
tween Hallowell and Gardiner.
1t was, beyond question deliberate and
cold FLOODED attempt at wrecking the passen-
ger train No. 25, and, last evening, the attempt
failing, the person or persons tried the
same with the freight.
The passenger train usually has good
load of passengers on its arrival here, and
should it leave the iron in the vicinity OF
the State House siding, we will have ter
rible accident to record. The track bed is
cut out of the river bank, with high bank
to the west and steep pitch of from 40 to
GO feet to the river below.
Thomaston for life would be too good
for the scoundrels who would attempt such
a deed

The temporary loans and overdrafts were
all paid in each case. 1t will be claimed,
probably, by the city auditor, that certain
bills of the previous year, are included in
the expenditures for lS93-94, according to
the books, as he received them. These bills
will be found stated in the city reports for
lo?2-9J as approved bills outstanding,
aud the total of them including unpaid
salaries Of city officers is given in the foot
note page 10, as S. ,G3s 81. Deduct this
sum from the Sos $3.50, city expendi-
lures of the past year and there remains

month of February, 1894, average the same
the expenses for city purposes will amount

pended in 1854. It must be borne in
mind that the $7,63s 81 which l have
deducted from the expenses of the past
year, were included in the $l07, 252.5 ex-
pended the previous year and were pro-
siied for in the appropriations Of that year,
and if included in the footing of the bills
Tor the past year, there was like balance
OF unexpended appropriations to meet them.

There are other permanent expenses of

shown in detail by the city report, and the
items have passed from my mind. The es-
innate TO. the year 1894 given on pages

assessment. Of SIl9, 10000 for 1898, a re-
duction of $22 900 90 from the appropria-
ton bill of the previous year. That reduc-
ton was based entirely upon my knowledge

The details of the various departments
of the hospital are very clearly
brought out in the report which
will soon be issued in printed form avail
able to any person who may wish to pro
cure them. The work Of the hospital is
we'll con iucted and the results attained are
certainly creditable. The trustees report a
good years work in the various depart
ments of the hospital. Speaking of the
means taken to eradicate diphtheria from
the hospital, they say that it became evil
den that ''the safety of the inmates of the
hospital and all others connected with it
could only be subseryed by the immediate
construction of suitable building for the
care of epidemic diseases. They therefore
caused to be erected building admirably
adapted to this purpose at an expense OF
s5Gl6.32. The hospital farm has been in
creased by the purchase of the so-called
Severance lot, containing so acres. This
increase of land has enabled the farm to
secure the additi 1nal pasturage aud hay
necessary to the care of its herds. The
price paid was $4,000.
The net profit of the farm during the
last year, ~ shown by the treasurer's re-
port, was s7995.0S.
