REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CoUN-
TY JAIL.


The undersigned, your committee ap-
pointed to inspect and examine into the
affairs of the county jail, beg leave to sub
init the following report. We find the jail
building in good order and the premises
clean and well kept. The prisoners are in
good health, and after a careful inquiry
we find them to be well fed with food OF
fair quality, no complaint being made by
any Of them. They receive fair treatment
and for the lettering and preservation of
their health are required to take daily an
airing and certain amount of exercise in
the Railways Of the jail. We find the Of
fee in good order and the records well
kept, and IL is our opinion that the Jail
officials deserve especial credit for the
most efficient and highly satisfactory
manner in which their various and ard
uous duties are performed.
We have given careful Thought and
study to the letter of Mrs. Webb a most
highly esteemed lady, in regard to the
building of a state reformatory for young
criminals. We fully recognize the neces-
sity of such an institution as means of
lessening crime by reforming young GRIM
inals. The advantage gained by the sep
aration of youthful offenders from the old,
who are hardened in crime, must be OBJ
vious to all and we would recommend to
this jury to request the chairman 10 en-
body in his general report an especial
recommendation urging CuI state Sera-
tor and representatives 70 use every effort
to obtain this long and much-needed insti-
tuition, when the subject shall be properly
agitated. We herewith inclose the detail
ed report of the sheriff giving the number
Of prisoners confined in the jail on the
date of our visit. A. r. Launey,
John Schwarz
In concluding these presentations we
wish to call attention to the fact that
while the grand juries are the direct rep
resentatives Of the people, a body that
shall carefully and fearlessly inquire into
all matters affecting the public welfare.
shall recommend such changes and poll
cies as will best advance the moral, phys
ical, and financial development of the
community il is very noticeable that the
often onerous labors Of these bodies re-
ceive but little consideration from those
whose duty il is to weigh carefully the
recommendations presented and adopt
them or furnish the public With reasons
for not doing so. Grand juries are not in
fallible and it is safe 10 assume that all
suggestions are not practicable or IN ac-
cord with circumstances and require

Providence Police Will Help Her TO
Locate the Bigamist.

Early in the spring Of 1894 good look
ing Englishman by the name OF Edwin j.
Bowley became resident of the thriving
village of Thornton. OF this State and was
employed by the British Hosiery Com
pany. Shortly after his arrival he
met Miss Elizabeth Westervest, who
is q comely looking person about 20
years old they became engeged during the
month Of July, and on Jan. 20, 1894, were
married BY the Rev. Thomas III. Cocroft OF
the Church of the Messiah. They did not
dwell in peace and happiness, and on
the following October went to parts un-
known. 1t was then learned that he was
a gay deceiver, for he had wife and
two children at Condor, England,
and then comes the story
that on Tuesday of last week he married
Tor the third time at Fort Wayne. Ind.
The parents of the Rhode Island girl,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowley, called upon Chief
Child today and wanted him to issue a
warrant for the mans arrest This, of
course, be refused to do, but told
them that they would locate him,
and would assist them in any way possi-
BILE TO bring the man TO account.
The father and mother had an armful
OF documents to prove their claim.

BASE BALL TALK.
The Grays Fared Very Well in the
Arrangements Made.

Vice President John NJ. Battey and
Secretary Edwin A. Johnson OF the Prov
idence Baseball Association returned
from the Eastern League meeting last
night and speak in the highest terms
for the way in which the meeting was
carried out. Everything was harmonious,
they said, and the schedule gives gem
eral satisfaction. For Providence,
at least, it will prove to be
the least expensive schedule drawn up,
for the Grays will only have to make two
special trips for one game each
with the Scrantons and Wilkes barres,
all Others being circuit trips. Then, too,
Providence gets 10 Saturday games at
home, while the Buffalos get but eight, TO
the latter's disgust.
Another thing in the schedule which is
noticeable is that Providence plays in
Toronto, May % and %, and Buffalo plays
two games there on May "a,
the Queens birthday and general holi-
day. The Grays can easily get a
game for that day in Hamilton
or some other nearby city,
but poor Springfield, scheduled for Buffalo
May % and 25 will have to play shuttle.
cock and return home for the oath.
Manager Burns thinks he can arrange it,
however.
One thing Providence did not get that
they wanted, that is: permission for some
team other than Springfield TO play here on
holidays. The schedule is happily arranged
for Scranton SO that all their home games
can be played during September, when
the miners have plenty OF money to spend
and race track seasons have been avoided.
The Rochesters get Manager William
Barnie, last year with the Louisvilles, and
the founder OF the old American Associ-
alton.

tion bet Springfield $50 that the

Among the numerous petitions for rar-
