FOUNDING HOSPITAL.
The Washington Institution for tn,
Year just Past.


The annual report of the Washingto
Hospital for Foundlngs was submitted to
the Commissioners several days ago, and
made public today by the superintendent of
charities. 1t says: Number remaining in
hospital June 80, 1894, -; number admit
ted during the year ending June 30 1895,
-; adoptions during the year, o; deaths -;
number remaining in hospital June 3d. 1875,
II; daily average during the year, 34.213.
Deaths during the year numbered twen-
ty-three, out of 133 cases treated, mostly
of congenital origin.
The number of children has been so large
the past year that the expenses have been
greatly increased, and the directors feel
compelled to ask that the appropriate ton
dicatons are that the number of applica-
tiorss for admission will be greatly in ex-
cess OF any previous year.
We deem il advisable to call your atten-
ton TO the fact that there were twenty-three
deaths during the year, while during the
year ending June 80, 1894 there We're forty
four deaths.
This great reduction in mortality, the
increase exceeding that of any previous
year. has been attained by the valuable as
sistance of the matron and her corps of
intelligent and faithful nurses.
The report is signed by the president of
the asylum, DR.. Il. T. Sewers. The other
officials of the institutions are Mrs H. NJ
Hutchinson. vice president; Mrs j. c..
Sn.:the, secretary; W. f. Mattir gly. treas-
urer.
The directors are z. 7. Sewers, W. F.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
Col. Wilson's Report on the Opera
tiNns During the Month of August.


Col. J. NJ. Wilson has made a report
to the chief of engineers of operations on
public buildings and grounds during the
month of August. The Executive Mansion
has been painted throughout, Including
all the brown stone work on the north
frCnt, the stairway leading from the main
hall to the basement, the vestibule leading
to the conservatory, the lower portion OF
the woodwork of the blue parlor, etc. The
entire roof and the flagstaff have been re-
painted, and the woodwork throughout the
house touched UP where necessary.
slight depression was noticed in the
floor Oh the corridor between the state din
ing room and private dining room,
where dense crowd usually col
lects during evening receptions when the
presidential party descends the private
stairway on the way to the blue parlor. On
taking up the flooring it was found that the
girders and beams were cracked and in a
dangerous condition. New girders and
beams We're inserted, and the floor made
amply strong for all possible reasonable re-
quirements.
The repairs of the conservatory have
been completed and the entire structure
painted inside and outside. Col. Wilson
says the woodwork of the conservatory is
in a very decayed condition, and rapidly
growing worse, and that the structure may
be destroyed by a heavy gale at any time.
Estimates for an entire SuperStructure
past years.
In spite of the constant vigilance of the
small force on duty, vandals have aglin
been at work on the floors of the Washing
ton monument in the vicinity of the beauti-
full mural tablets, and two of the tablets
have been badly damaged. There were
1862 visitors to the top Of the monument
during August, of which number 10, ,S43
made the ascent by the elevator, and 5,2l9
by the stairway, making a total Of l, 12I, 429
persons who have visited the top since the
monument was opened to the public, Oc-
tobeS .. 1888.
Col. Wilson says that the usual care has
beer extended to the large and valuable
collection of plants in the various parks.
He says that the beauty of the park south
of the Executive Mansion has been greatly
narred during the summer by the con-
struction of the large sewer, work on
which has been going on for over four
months.
gravel roads in the Henry, Seaton, Smith
sonlan and monument parks.
An asphalt walk five feet wide and COW
ering 200 square yards has been laid in
Lincoln Park. In Judiciary Park the
asphalt roadway has been extended over
an area of about 500 square yards between
the east F street entrance and the south
entrance to the pension building. Asphalt
pathways have been constructed and re-
paired in various other parks.
The work of examining and relaying the
Capitol spring pipe was continued during
August and the whole line between H and
d streets was carefully examined and re-
paired where necessary, and between Mas
sachusetts avenue and G street the pipe
was lowered about a foot. 1t is expected
to complete the entire work this month.

A SPLIT INEVITABLE.
Ex-CoHgressman Bland on the Poll
ticai Outlook.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September 7.-Ex-
Congressman Bland was here yesterday.
He was asked: In case the national DEM
ccratic convention refused to adopt the
free silver platform, what would be the
result?"
There would be division between the
eastern and western democracy. 1t is, it
seems to me, inevitable, anyway. The
party is inharmonious. War issues, the
tariff and other things have kept the party
together heretofore, but they are being
lost sight of. The only thing the free sill
yer democrats can do now is to keep Or
ganizing.
IF there should be another bond issue
before long it would have a great effect.
1t was the issue of the last So, 100000 that
set the people to thinking. The eastern
capitalists know this and will try to pre-
vent another issue"
'Is not compromise possible?'
They tried it in Kentucky. They put up
a free silver candidate there on gold
standard platform. What is the result?
Why, they are in worse shape than they
were before the convention"

HALL LiouoR CASE.
Not to BE Tried Until Mr.. PuGh Re-
turns.

Attorney Thomas said this afternoon
that the Frank Hall liquor case will prob
ably not be taken into court until Mr..
Pugh. his assistant, returns from his vaca-
ton. II the report of Inspector Woodward
can be substantiated by legal proof, he
said. the District will be able to make out a
good case. This is the case in which Po-
liceman Greer flied affidavit against the
saloon keeper, and Mr.. Pugh held the pa
per in his office, hoping to get another case
on the saloon keeper and take both cases
into court. For two convictions the law
provides for a forfeiture of the license, and
MIR. Pugh explained that he thought in a
months Time he would be able to make two
cases and thus secure the forfeiture of the

Horace McClGre and other mem
bers of the same family were at one

enterprises in this town and it is to
be regretted that they did not re-
main longer in our midst. It is
such men as the McClures that
we need in Lafayette and when we

locate among US, we should extend
to them every induCement rather
than pursue a selfish and narrow
minded policy whose baneful cf-
fects are exceedingly injurious to
the growth OF a town.
