generally sensual face. He displayed no

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. IA stabbing
ARRAY occurred at Morgan Hill, near Gil
roy, this evening. Al Good, stable
keeper, was so badly injured that there is
little hope of his recovery. His assailant
was Parfario Patron, who has for some
time had grievance against Good.
Patron went into the latter's stable, and
after some words whipped out large
knife and stabbed Good in the abdomen.
The wound is an ugly one. Constable Lee
of Morgan Hill was on the scene almost
Immediately, an alarm having been raised,
but Patron made good his escape on a
horse. He is said to be very quarrelsome
when drunk. He has relatives in Morgan

deputy on search for Patron.

of the institution. In submitting the
report. the Board makes the following
con ments.
THE BOARDS LETTER.
To his Excellency Charles I. Oferrall.
Governor OF Virginia:
Dear Sir,-We submit herewith the re-
ports of the superintendent and the sur
geon Of the Virginia penitentiary, which,
with the accompanying tables, give full
Information of the operations for the
fiscal year ending Goth ON September
last.
The best testimony 10 the able manage
ment OF the institution is the large net
earnings, amounting TO the sum Of Sl,-
lD.e5, the largest years profit ever
realized. The Superintendent covers in
his report the whole ground " the pres
ent and future wants OF the institution
and recommends such action as should
be taken to supply them, and there is
but little left for the Board to add.
We must, however, call your attention
again 10 the imperative need OF better
prison and hospital accommodations for
the convicts. Notwithstanding the re-
moval OF some two hundred 20 the farm,
there are now over 100 male convicts
confined in the prison in less than two
hundred cells. In the larger cells, II
thirty, and the hospital being Inadequate.
IL is often necessary to keep the sick IN
these cells, as is the case at present.
For want OF other room, the kitchen ana
laundry are both underground and dur
ing the summer season. are unit for use.
Action should be taken by the General
Assembly 10 remove the evils above de-
scribcd. The only effectual one Is that
recommended by the superintendent
construct new prison, with all mod
ern Improvements.
Whether the way be clear 10 do this
at present or not lhe number OF con-
victs sent to the penitentiary should be
restricted In some manner by legislation.
The recommendation of the SuDerintend-
ent 10 retain short-termI prisoners at
the county jails, for work on the county
roads, appears wise TO us. IL would aid
materially I'm remcdying three very inn
portant evils from which the state Is now
suffering
First. Reduction OF criminal expenses.
Second. Relieve the crowded condi-
ton OF the prison.
Third. Improvement OF the public
roads.
The parole system referred to by the
Superintendent. adopted 10 some extent
in this country, has no doubt grown
out Of the ticket-of-leave system Of
England. II has met with decided APP
prevail in this country. and with proper
safeguards might be adopted with adj
vantage. and is well worthy OF consid-
Grafton.
The farm with a good season would
scarcely have been expected TO show
profit. but. Notwithstanding the long
drought cutting short all crops. II has
supported from 100 10 20 cOnvicts and
shown a deficit of only 81 Az 81 for the
year.
In conclusion. we commend the super
intendent, surgeon, officers, and guards
for faithful discharge of duty.
