dren We're Not Abused
AT the Day Nursery.

The commit ec appointed by the S. 2.
c. C., to investigate the charges of mis-
management against tho St. Michacl's
Day Nursery and Hospital, for Babies,
s omitted its report yesterday afternoon.
The charges were not sustained. Follow
ing is the report:
Complaints made by individuals to the
police department against st. Michael's
Day Nursery and Hospital for Rabies,
having been referred by the chief Of police
to the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty TO Children for Investigation,
committee Of tho society assisting the
special ngert, Frank Stout, has cndeavor-
I'd to obtain as full information as posi-.
BILE relating to the charge. By visiting
and examining tho matter of conducting
tho Institutions, and from hearing many
witnesses, who, An giving their testimony,
were doubtless sinceie in their convictions
tho committee finds the evidence INSULT.
Client to sustain the charge of cruelty.
Tho committee, however, unites in tho
opinion that certain additions to the rules
governing tho Institutions might be made
that would be Of benefit to them. The ab-
sence Of se,no " these rules. we think,
may have been largely tho cause of the
misunderstanding on the part Of the com.
plants.
"Iho managers and officials of the lnsti.
tuition have shown an earnest disposition
to assis'. and havv in every way given the
committee all the aid they could to enable
it to g!t at tho facts in the case.

viii Sell the Road,

Delaware River Railroad, which
runs from Pennsgrove to Wood
Dury, connecting with the West
Jersey system, will be sold at priv
ate sale on MONDAY next. The
road was built about twenty-five
years ago by a stock company,
which failed, and subsequently the
DuPonts bought a controlling
interest. Its management has not
been progressive nor has the
service been satisfactory to patrons
along the line.
1t is believed that the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway Com
pany will be the purchasers aud
this will give the company direct
connection from its coal fields in
Pennsylvania points in South
Jersey.

man ran down the road.
Yesterday morning soon afer 5
o'c'o!k one of Joseph Farrell's men
in going for the cows found john
son lying along the road, helpless
and bleeding. The news was soon
spread and a crowd collected, and
when they heard Lobb's story they
were favorable to fiji thing up the
man. But better counsel prevailed
and Constable John H. Hart of
Chester made Lobb swear out a
warrant fer the arrest of Johnson,
and So ire Shortledge was sum
moncd, and in the presence of 200
people a hearing was held on the
roadside and Johnson was held for
court. He was then loaded into a
wagon and taken to Chester to The
hospital, where he diedil the after
noon.
There have been a number of
robberes in that locality during
the past few months, and early

Mr.. Farrell was entered and the
burglar was frightened off by the
children. One week a, 20 the house
Of another neighbors was entered,
AMI an old lady, who had a large
sum Of money under her pillow,
says she saw the man, and he was
a low-set. bald-headed colored man
about s. years old. This is a good
description Of Johnson.

Mr.. HirSch'S Measure.

Our friend, John Molzahn, sends us
a copy of The Merrill Advocate of the
31st ult., which comments as follows
on a matter Of interest:
81. A. Hirsch, Of Watertown, one
of the leading Republicans of his sec
ton of the country, spent Sunday in
Merrill. Mr. Hirsch is the author Of
the state purchasing act, which will
be presented to the legislature this
winter. The bill provides for the
governor to appoint a state purchas-
ing agent who will have the purchas-
ing of all things needed by the state
in its institutions. Mr. Hirsch has
been for several years agitating the
subject and last winter the bill passed
the senate aud was reported favorably
from the assembly committee on state
affairs, but somehow it failed to pass
the assembly. 1t is very meritori-
Gus act and if the legislature passes
it, and the right man is selected fol
purchasing agent the state will save
thousands of dollars annually"

ANOTHER bill with u SNAP" in it
for somebody has been introduced
by Senator McGillivray and is aimed
at the manufacturers OF proprie-

bill 1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son to engage in the manufacture of
medicine OF any kind whatever with
out the consent Of the state board
OF health, and also that all manu-

tacture. If the law is intended as a

practical destruction of the business
carried on In this line. Their formulate
being made public, ignorant persons
would begin compromising, and the
state would soon be flooded with n
mess OF illy-prepared stuff which
would do more harm than good. IF
1t is intended as protection against
dangerous compromising, an inves-
tlgation will show that more casual

iessness or incompetence of pharma-
ceutical graduates who have been
passed upon by state board of ex-
aminers. But there is lob" in it
for somebody, and the dear people
will cheerfully foot the bill. Senator
McGilivray's measure ought to be
killed.
