Pottsyille, May 6.-The grand jury COM
pleted its labors and this morning submitted
the following report to court:
The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania inquiring for the County of
Schuylkill for May sessions 1899. respectfully
report as follows;
We have passed upon 161 bills Of indct-
ment submitted for our action, Of which
number we have returned "a as true bills and
81 as no true bills. We have placed the costs
IN "a cases of the bills ignored on the prose
cutor or prOsecutrix. and in eases on the
county, where we have had the disposition of
the same.
We have visited the county prison and
found that Institution well managed hv the
efficient warden, Captain james II. Lovan.
and the worthy matIon, Mrs. Robinson
The parlOr and the side corridor of the
prison should be papered, painted aud re-
furnished, as its present condition is not very
creditable to the county.
The wall along the prison front, east from
the prison entrance should be repaired so as
to conform with the other portion of the
front wall. If repaired soon, the cost will
not be large, and delay will occasion the
building OF a new wall, as it is gradually be-
coming dilapidated.
We have also visited the county almshouse
management of the same as being the best
possible, considering the crowded condition
OF all the buildings. Thanks are due to the
Steward MendOn Fegloy and the matrou.
Mrs. Fegley, who are ably assisted by the
efficient corps of employees under them
AS matter of economy to the county, we
strongly recommend the erection of new
slaughter house and new ice house. The
present buildings are positively unfit for
their respective purposes. We believe the
expense incurred in or citing these buildings
Will be saved in very short period through
the saving and care of materials
We would respectfully call attention to the
oyercrowded condition of the insane depart.
ment for the males. Humanity requires that
some steps should be taken to relieve the
same, by having some Of the inmates trans
ferred to state institutions,
We would call attention to the dangerous
condition of the abutments of the bridge
crossing the Schuylkill at Mount Carbon. A
little repair now will save what may be a
dangerous travel way, if permitted to grow
worse.
COnstables in the several districts should be
required to pay particular attention to the
roads in their several bailiwicks. The road
leading from st. Clair TO POttsville, by way of
East Mines. and the road between Pottsville
ana scnuylkiii Haven are very inuch in
need of attention.
In conclusion we thank the court and its
several officers for assistance rendered us
and courtesies extended during the progress
of our deliberations. All OF which is respect-
fully submitted.
