THE GAZETTE IN ERROR

The Gazette, in discussing Col.
Boyle's tunnel scheme, says:
And why not, pray? Boyle's
scheme was to spend $4,000, 900 in a
tunnel, tapping the Lake below the
ned of its natural outlet, the T1uckee,
and would have left the farmers of the
Truckee Meadows without any water
at all, unless they went to the ex-
pense of building new bitches and
bought water from tie Boyle syndi-
cate. If Mr.. Boyle would spend one
6fth Of five million dollars on the
Lake natural outlet he would have
a property that would be more valua.
Bile to ali the people than any S. 900,
900 tunnel he could build from Eagle
Valley"
The statement that Col. Boyle was
70 tap the lake below the bed Of its
natural outlet is an error.
The bill expressly provided that
the tunnel was not to tap the lake
below its natural outlet, The plan
was to have the bed Of the tunne'
above the level of the natural outlet
so as to compel Boyle and his syndi
cate to store extra water in the Lake
IN order to have any.
With this plainly set forth in the
bill the opponents Of the scheme KEEP
right on arguing, as if no such Pro
tecting clause was there, and they die
it ~willfully and knowingly, just a!
the Gazette is doing now.

CHANCELLOR'S RETIREMENT
His Friends in the City Place
No Reliance Upon the
Rumor.

The New York world this morning
printed an inpudent fake to the effect
that Chancellor McGill would resign his
office at the first of the coming year on
account Of ill-health. From what follows
this statement it would appear that the
object of the story was to boom Martin
j. Roll for the Senatorial nomination in
Union county Nevertheless the states
ment caused much comment among the
members of the Bar in this city this
morning and many inquiries concerning
the truth of the story were made. It
is well known among the members OF the
Bar and the friends Of the Chancellor
that he has not been well for some time
and that the main cause OF ms Trip 20
Etfropes where he now Is, was a desire TO
regain his health, but that it was so bad
as to cause him to think of resignlng the
Chancellorship was news to his trienos
and caused them sSme anxiety.
A prominent member of the Bar, whose
relations with the Chancellor have been
most intimate. said this morning that
he did not think there was any founda-
ton for the story. The Chancellor, ne
said had never intimated that he would
resign his office, but did once, some time
ago. say that he was afraid his health
would Break down and compel him TO
quit work That he intended to leave the
bench before his term expired -he never
intimated and always spoke as though
he expected to occupy the position until
May |, 1901.
The gentleman further SAID that Wora
had been received from the Chancellor
since his arrival in Europe that the voy-
age had benefited him greatly and ms
health had improved.

Court today until Tuesday. bail being al
lowed as previously At the conclusion
of the hearing she was served with a

POINT FOR MRS. WILLIAMSON
A New York Institution in Which
Corporal Punishment is Ripe.

ALBANY. N. Y, Aug 10. 1S99-Comp-
troller William J. Morgan has written a
letter to Right Rev. Frederick D. Hunt
ington, DID, Chairman of the Board Of
Trustees of the Syracuse State Institu-
ton for feeble minded children, in which
he calls attention to cruelties and irregu-
larities found to exist in that institution
by the Investigation conducted by Dep
NY Comptroller Gilman and Secretary
Hebberd, of the State board of charities
The communication in part is:-"I am
aware that it is contrary to the wishes
of the Board of Managers Of the institu-
ton that corporal punishment should be
inflicted upon the inmates; in fact, am
informed that such punishment IS pro-
hibited by the rules of the institution.
Notwithstanding this it appears from the
sworn evidence both from the attendants
and inmates that corporal punishment is
quite generally inflicted The nature of
this punishment consists of cutting the
children upon the head and body, of strik-
ing them, both naked and clothed, with
the hand and sticks and with rubber
hose and kicking them. 1t was also
shown that attendants were in the habit
of punching the children in their stomachs
and abdomen with their fists and picking
them up bodily and throwing them to the
floor. In one instance at least child was
kicked in the face making a cut that had
to be stitched up by Il physician. Cor
poral punishment is bad enough in an in
stitution like this under the best circum-
stances, but it is vastly worse
when it is administered without
authority and by irresponsible,
Inconsiderate, hot-headed attendants
which is the case in your institution.
While your superintendent may not have
been party to the infliction of such
punishment. it is almost impossible to
understand how he scould have been ig-
norant of the facts; but admitting that
he was ignorant it indicates lack of
that close personal knowledge on the
part Of the inside workings of the in
stitution which is absolutely necessary
to good mana cement.
in matters of discipline and financial
affairs altogether too much has been left
to the subordinates of the Institution.
State property has been missed and in
many cases not cared for as it should
have been. But it is not my present pur-
pose to point out shortcomings in busi-
ness methods; that will be the subject
corrective measures will be speedily
adopted by your Board as soon asthey
learn of the situation t hasten to lay
the above facts before you.
Very respectfully your
Comt)trOller.v

cent is at Bluefields, far out of the track
of the hurricane. and the Potomac and

cerning which there Was some anxiety,
