tOgetuer NJ
ALBANY, Sept. 1O.-Gov. Flower returned from
Watertown this afternoon and issued two orders.
The first is addressed to Warden Stout of Au-
burn prison, in which the Governor orders,
under the provisions of chapter 737 OF the Laws
OF 1904, that on and after Sept. 10. 1894, the
employment of prisoners In the State prison at
Auburn in the manufacturer of brooms and
brushes made Of broom corn shall be wholly dis
continued and directs the Warden to take such
measures as will carry the order into effect.
The second order is addressed to Daniel II.
Baumgras, Superintendent OF the Onondaga
county penitentiary, in which 1t is ordered that
the number Of prisoners engaged in the manu-
facture Of such goods In the Onondaga county
penitentiary be hereby reduced to the fte per-
centum allowed by law, namely, to thirty seven.
and the Superintendent is directed TO take the
necessary steps to carry the order into effect
Immediately.
In explanation Of the fact that one Of these
orders calls for the entire abolition of the manu-
facture of brooms and brushes from broom
corn. while the other merely requires a reduc-
tion in the number OF men employed to the limit
permitted by law, the Governor said:
81 ordered the entire abolition of the indus
