THE INSTITUTION INVESTIGATION
The sub committee on public institu-
lions, appointed to investigate the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution and
the Western Lunatic Asylum, report
ed to the committee yesterday evening
on the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Insti-
tuition. The committee says: "We re-
greet exceedingly to be unable to re-
cord our approval of the general con-
dition of the institution. We carefully
inspected its departments, including its
dormitories, &C., for both sexes, togeth
or with the school rooms and work
chops, and were forcibly impressed
with their general surroundings, indi-
eating an extremely unsatisfactory con-
dition. We deem it best not to 60 into
details with reference to it, as the joint
committee appointed to investigate its
management will doubtless submit q
report covering everything appertain
ing to the institution and its manage
ment."
The investigation of the charges
against the institution was resumed last
night and will probably be continued
to-day.
Last night Senator Mushbach, 8
member of the board, testified to having
been on the board for eight years, and
said that, for the past year or two, the
board had been very harmonious, but
prior to that time there was some little
friction among the members. He had
the highest opinion of the school, both
as to morality and temperance. He
differed with DR.. Winston, in that he
couldn't hesitate to place child of
his under Captain Doyle's care. Rels-
tive to tbs previous charge of drinking,
preferred against Captain Doyle, which
charge was Investigated by witness, as
q member OF o subcommittee of the
board, the Senator said there was no
evidence to sustain the charge, and the
Investigation was as thorough as could
have been made. When the sub-com-
mittee's report was filed. DR.. Quisen-
berry offered resolution, setting forth
that the charges had no foundation,
in fact, Or. Winston having testified
that he had seen Captain Doyle drunk,
said he couldn't vote for that resolution,
whereupon it was changed to read that
the facts sdduced did not justify any
action on the part of the board. This
was adopted by viya-Voce vote, with
out dissenting voice. There was
never, 30 far as he knew, any time
when DR.. Winston, or any other mem
Der Of the board, could not have intro.
duced any resolution fog the expulsion

A Clerical Offender.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-Dr. C. O.
Brown, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church, of this city, against
whom charges OF immoral conduct are
now being investigated, created SEN
sation in the council meeting last even
ing by charging the presiding Judge
with unfairness. The evidence SUBJ
initted last night tended to show that
undue intimacy existed between the
doctor and his protege, Miss Matte
Overmau. The scandal is exciting
enormous interest in church circles.

November Expected to Show the
Largest Vote They Ever POIled.
! Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, September 2, 1896.
In Lynchburg there has developed COM
plete division among the members of the
democratic executive committee as result
of which several members of the commit
tee have withdrawn. A. w. Nowlin. the
chairman, rendered his resignation. which
was accepted. Messrs. William King, Jr.
d. z. Morrison. Charles NJ Blackford, Will
liam Leay and J. r. Williams nave all
resigned members Of the committee. The
Chicago platform was too bitter a Fill to
several of the members OF the committee,
hence their designations.
1t Is a matter of general comment here
that the republicans in Virginia are putting
up the most remarkable fight made by that
party in Virginia for twenty-five years.
Leaders of the party from various parts Of
the state are gathering at state headquar-
terS in this state every week, and the cam
paign Is beinS conducted on purely bust
ness principles and according to system
attic and carefully organized methods. The
republicans in Virginia are sparing neither
money or labor to get a strong and perma-
nent foothold In the state and their work
in the interests of Mckinley and Hobart
Daily conferences among the leaders are
being held at republican headquarters in
Richmond, and plans for the campaign ar
ranged. There is reason to believe that at
the November election the republicans will
make the best showing they have made for
many years IN Virginia, and there is a
probability that they will capture perhaps
half the congressional districts in the state

INDIANAPOLIS, September 3.-The plat
form, as agreed upon by the committee,
declares for a single gold standard, with
such subsidiary coinage as is necessary
without disturbing the parity. 1t does not
mention international agreement and makes
no reference to the income tax. The tariff
plank, outside of phraseology, is the same
as the plank in the Maine sound money
platform. There is no minority report.
The platform says:
This convention has assembled to uphold
the principles upon which depend the
honor and welfare Of the American people,
In order that democrats throughout the
Union may unite their patriotic efforts to
avert disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
The democratic party Is pledged to equal
and exact Justice to all men Of every creed

government in its constitutional vigor, and

played these kilograms, the ideas of which
were conveyed in dispatches Of the Asso-

vention to nominate you for the presi-

lots to learn your personal wishes aud

Opening Prices Were Fractionally

Sugar Again the Feature of the
Speculation.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 3.-Opening
prices this morning were fractionally irres-
ular. but in majority OF instances later
trading was in the direction of improve
ment. Sugar was again the feature of the
trading, the price being advanced TO a new
high level without any indication of an ap-
preaching elimination OF the upward move
ment. Tennessee Coal and Iron and Gem
eral Electric responded to moderate de-
mand for more than fractional gains. The
movement in the former was credited TO
the operations of a small bull pool. A re-
Vival of the buying in Manhattan resulted
Ia substantial advance in the price of
that STOCK, the same interests prominent in
the original movement continuing active.
ST Pauls report of earnings for the
fourth week in August. Rejecting a decrease
OF Sl62,2S2, and Rock Islands report for
the fun month, rejecting a decrease of
more than S',vn, attracted moderate SELL
ing by The room. The stability of prices
ELSEWHERE and the more hopeful monetary
prospect II spired purchases at the decline,
which Resulted in fractional recovery.
The receipt of more than three millions
gold by todays incoming European steam
ers and easier rates for money had a good
effect on the general situation. The con-
tinuation of the discount rate established
by the Bank of England in 1894 was con-
inportauons. The local situa ioI is AL
ready feeling the favorable effects of the
coin received under previous contracts, and
ho violent disturbing of loans is considered
probable.
The federal gold reserve is not liable TO
the continuous drain 10 which a failure TO
attract gold from Europe would have SUBJ
jected it during the remainder of the presi-
Dental campaign.
A return of confidence, as TO the out
come Of the money standard discussion, is
everywhere apparent, and cautious trading
has again been substituted for the panic
symptoms which alarmed the community
only fortnight ago.
The trading toward the close of the days
business was only moderately active, but
prices were we'll sustained in spite OF tho
restricted demand All concessions result
ing from protit-taking attracted new buy
ers, who rely upon continuation of en-
couraging political comment to advance
prices. The Indianapolis convention is look
ed upon a possible source of optimistic
incentive. but opinion is not unanimous in
this particular. the short side of tho
market is not favored by traders al the
me ment. but a reaction would not he sur
prislng in view of the recent general ad-
yarce.

talked with him, and when he left the plat
form he said: Il believe Senator Pal->e
will be the nominee. He declines to per-
nit the use of his name, but qualities the
statement by saying that If nominated
against his wish his declination will not be
mrevocable.''
Permanent Chairman Caffery appeared
on the stage at exactly IL o'clock, the hour
to which the convention adjourned, and
was given a round of applause.
Cheers and Kisses for Breckinridge.
When General Buckner Of Kentucky en-
tered. the convention rose to it's feet and
gave him three cheers The enthusiasm
created by his entrance had not subsidized
before the crowd caught sight of the strik-
ing head and shoulders of Col. Breckin-
ridge. as he elbowed his way to his seat
in the Kentucky delegation Immediately
thereafter breckenridge. Breckenridge
came from all parts of the hall. Tie crowd
arose en- masse and craned their necks to
catch a glimpse of the siiver-Iongued orator
from the blue grass state But amid the
cheers and applause and cries sharp
sibilant Kisses could be heard. Col Breck-
inridse bowed profoundly in acknowledge
ment OF the compliment paid him. Several
times the cries and cheers for the Ken
tuckian were renewed Each time the misses
grew louder and more oTninous.
By this time every seat in the nall was
occupied. and the galleries were crowded.
Fully 1900 people were in the hall There
was much pent-up enthusiasm, which
found its escape valve In noisy deinonstra-
ton at every opportunity presented. At
II 30 Permanent Chairman Caffery called
the convention to order. There was no
prayer.
Senator Caffery informed the convention
that the committee on resolutions was not
ready to report and begged its patient in
diligence for few moments.
He had hardly finished the sentence be-
fore a thousand voices shouted for Breck-
FRIDGE. The galleries and delegates Joined
