STATE PENITENTIARY. .


The report of the superintendent
and board of directors of this institu-
tuition shows it to be in healthy, sue
cessful and sound financial condition.
The number Of prisoners confined
during the last fiscal year is 72 less
than for the previous year. This is
due to the sentencing of short-tern
convicts to the county chain-gang. 1t
is to be hoped that the number 50
sentenced will increase to such an es-
tent as to allow all convicts sentenced
to the penitentiary to be employed
within the walls or upon the farms
operated by the State. The practice
OF leasing convicts to private parties IS
Objectionable to the people of th5
State and liable to be abused. In ore
case, in the county of Oconee, I was
compelled to order out the militia for
the purpose of protecting convict
who had been assigned to private
contractor within that county. The
people became indignant at the liber-
ties allowed cOnVlcl VINO deSerVeu
the severest punishment. 1 desire to
say, however, that this was caused by
a guard acting without authority and
not from any order of the superinten-
dent. When called to the attention oi
the authorities of the penltentiary the
convict was promptly conveyed to end
confined within the walls Of the prison.
I regret to see want of harmony
among the board of directors, as will
appear to you from the minority re-
port submitted by Mr.. Willoughby.

could not concur in such on arrange
ment, for the reason that I believed
it unwise to establish the precedent
whereby the Board Of any State in
stitution could increase the public debt
of the State to such m arloun. without
express authority from the General
Assembly. Ii the Board cnr purchase
such an amount OF property upon nc
other authority than their own. they
could to an unlimited amount involve
the State in debt. I deem it advisable
to purchase this property al the pres,
ent time for the reason that it will be
absolutely necessary to The needs OF
the institution in future, and I am sat
isfed to wait for that emergency would
entail upon the State considerable
amount of incrense in the value Of the
property, which is within the city
limits. I have such great respect for
the judgment and ability OF the SUI
perintendent and Treasurer of the in
stitution as to unlesltatingly endorse
their recommendations. The urgent
necessity for brick building for the
confinement Of the colored insane will.
I am sure, impress itself upon your
Judgment. It is unjust, and, to say
the least, inhumare: to confine these
unfortunates in fre-trap or place OF
torture, as the present quarters now
seem to be. The brick have been
manufactured and everything is in
readiness for the builder. During the

bonds of the State; indeed, 7 have Of
fers already from the best bankers of
the State to that effect. This arrange
ment is better for the State than the
ownership of the bonds, for the reason,
as have before stated, We would be
compelled to pay premium OF 10 per
cent. and upwards for the purchase Of
the bonds in open market with loss
to the fund in proportion to the
amount Of premium paid and the low
rate of interest received and the in
ability Of the State to retire the
bonds under the law. Beside, as the
bonds mature, the price Invariably
i falls: and as the time for refunding
the debt draws near, our sinking fund
instead OF showing an increase will
show decrease.

general assembly in making this fund

dicated.

WHO IS 1T. c. DOREMUS?
Did He Commit Suicide by Jumping Into
 the North River?

Brooklyn, June 24-Coroner Coombs has in his possession a coat and straw hat found last evening on the ferry boat Fulton. A small card in the band of the hat bore this inscription: 'H. c. Doremus Kensington, Conn.," The first idea was that the man had jumped overheard. Coroner Coombs does not hold to this idea. He found in the pocket of the coat the following ad dressed to Mrs. H. c. Doremus, Ken slngton:
 My Dear Wife-When you receive this I will be out of your way forever. I advise you to take up some profes- sion-nursing would be a good one. Mother will take some of the children. God bless them alb She has a heart as big as barrel. (Be good to Lina.) Remember, this is my last wish. l think you can rise above this trouble and branch out in the world as a wo- man of your nature should. Your hus- band, HARRY"
 Instead of construing this as q sui cide's letter the coroner said he looked on it as the product of a man who sim ply wanted to get away from an un- Congenial wife.

ROYAL ,4RC4NUM,
Entertainment in Warner Hal1-Musical
 and Literary Program.

The members and friends of the councils of the Royal Arcanum in this city and West Haven enjoyed an ex- cellent entertainment in Warner hall last evening" It was to commemorate the nineteenth anniversary of the Ar canum. MT. l. H. Stoddard introduced the chairman, Grand Regent c. 1T. Prentice of Hartford, who made the ad- dress of welcome
 The musical portion of the program was under the direction of Professor r. A. Fowler, who arranged an excel lent program, opening with a selection by a quartet as follows: Mrs. N. P. Bishop, soprano, Miss Edith M. Beers, alto, MT Harry T. Clarke, tenor; Mr Charles F. Williams, bass. The solo work Of each of the members of the quartet was commendable.
 The address made by the supreme chaplain, Henry c. Goodwin of Bos- ton, for the good of the order was 8 pleasing and not tiring feature. He brought out the facts in clear and decisive way, which impressed the au- dience.
 The present membership of the Royal Arcanum is about 150,000. It was or ganized in Boston June 23, 1877. with nine members. There are some 4,200 members in Connecticut.

BASEBILL TO-DAY.

The New Haven club returned home last night from Paterson, and to-day, Friday and Saturday will play the Will mingtons. The New Haven club is now playing as fast ball as any club in the Atlantic league, and the games here with the Wilmingtons will be worth witnessing. The boys defeated Hart ford last Saturday in two games, and in Paterson would have had that club defeated on Tuesday in both games had not the home umpire in each game come to the rescue of the Patersons in the ninth inning of each game. The home boys led up to the ninth inning of each game, which indicates that Mir. Burns of Paterson came to the aid of his club.
 John Henry is playing center field for New Haven and is doing it well. A large crowd should be out to-day to see a hotly contested game.

Continuing, he said: North Middle, where I lived while in college, is gone, and many say this is no longer the old Yale, and feel badly that they can no longer sit in the rooms where once occurred the jokes and incidents of their college days, but in this practical age it is difficult to keep up those old sentiments. To keep in step with the times Old Yale must keep pace with the development of the United States. love Rip Van Wrinkle only as Jefferson portrays him on the stage. Everywhere else Rip is a tramp. Thank heaven Yale has no mummy robes except in the museum, but in all that constitutes a liberal ed- ucation Yale keeps in the lead of the universities of the United States.
 Nearly every man here has studied political economy at this institution, and I hope that all stand for sound money. Slavery stepped from the pulpit into politics. It Is an even thing now whether a debased currency or sound money is favored by a majority of the voters of this country. Every man here should stand up for the principle which means the credit and honesty and sur vival of the business life of the people of this nation" (Applause)
 Speaking of Yale at Henley, MT. De- pew said: q sail next week for Eng land. I am going to Henley. We all approve of Yale going there We may not win, Every American present at the race will be 8 Yale man, and will wear the blue. Though l am forty years out of college my lung power is unimpaired."
 MT. Depew concluded by speaking in eulogistic terms of President Woolsey and said that he was glad that the well fare of the university was now in the hands of Timothy Dwight.
 The meeting adjourned after singing "Auld Lang Syne."
