Saturday night in which Robert Eaton
was stabbed by Mead Taylor. Patrick Cor
coran has lain unconscious at his home,
S31 West Maryland street. for over twenty
four hours. DR.. E. NJ. Eisenbeiss. who has
been in constant attendance. said last night
that all efforts to arouse him had failed,
and an operation would probably be per-
formed Corcoran's condition is critical,
and he may die from the injury.
The police were notified last night of his
condition. and the bonds of Taylor and
James Edgey, who was arrested with Tay-
lor, charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill were increased from $1,000 to
5000 The men, when placed under arrest,
denied having any knowledge of the night,
and since that time have refused to talk.
The police believe that Corcoran was hit
by Edgey, and if his injuries prove fatal
it is probable charge of murder will be
placed against Edgey All efforts to learn
something about the trouble have failed.
Corcoran was carried to his home from the
scene Of the trouble, but in the excitement
the men who took him home left without
telling of the trouble. Until he RECEIVERS

at sea in the matter.
DR.. ESenbeiss said last night that the
mans injury was evidently caused by his
being knocked down. One of Corcoran s
eyes is bruised, as though struck by a INST,
and the hand and arm on the side OF the
body from the conclusion is paralyzed.
When Eaton was taken to the hospital
Saturday night he told the doctors that
Taylor stabbed him he was leaving the
saloon. Beyond this he has made no state
ment. His wound is a slight one Taylor
has been employed as porter In Armi-
tagesg saloon, and is known to the police
a desperate character. Edgey has been

The Cases Treated.

Children's Building at County Hospital.
1t is interesting, even though some-
what grewsome, to study the statistics
OF the cases treated at this great hos
pital. This may be done from tabu-
lated statement recently issued by the
warden, which represents a year in
which total of %, 227 cases of all kinds
were treated. The warden in comments
ing on this tabulated statement says:
Not only among medical cases, but
far beyond any other disease or condi-
ton enumerated in our list, pneumonia,
with total of L III and death record
of 536, stands out most prominently.
This is but another bit of evidence of the
alarming extent of this scourge. The
figures show mortality of almost so
per cent
Among medical cases, rheumatism
follows pneumonia in number of cases.
To its credit are given SAL. Tubercu-
losis, with 534, does not quite equal the
number of deaths from pneumonia, and
gives very interesting comparison be-
tween these two diseases Typhoid
fever shows total of 459 and syphilis
1863, being quite noteworthy in point Of
numbers
"On the surgical side, fractures show
the greatest number of cases, ranging
close to thousand The actual number
on record is 931, of which 500 are simple
and So compound. This division may
not be exact, as all cases reported SIM
ply as fractures, in which compound was
not specified were classified under the
head of simple fractures. 1t will be seen
by glance at the table that nearly all
varieties of fractures are included in
the record. Scalp wounds show total
of 574, while confused, gunshot, LAGER
ated, incised and punctured wounds are
all numerous

A DOUBLE MURDER.
Mother and Child Thrown Into
an Old Well.
The Latter Dead When Found, But the
Former fingered Several Hours
Young Man Arrested and
Held as Suspect.

Newcastle, Ind, July 12.-Mrs. VIII
liam Starbuck, the victim of Saturday
nights criminal assault near Green's
boro, died at 4 o'clock Monday morn
ing.
Upon the return home of the wOm-
ans husband Saturday night he found
his wife and little baby missing and
the house in disorder, indicating that
struggle had taken place He insri-
tuted search and found his wife and
child in an abandoned well near by.
The infant was dead but the woman
was still alive and hysterical and
could give no account of what had
happened She soon lapsed into I'M
consciousness and remained so until
an hour before her death Monday
morning Bloodhounds were put on
the trail of the murderers but without
results
Officers and searchers abandoned
the chase Sunday night after dark and
are awaiting the arrival of detectives.
Coroner C. W. Wright conducted a
post-mortem examination Monday
morning on the body of the child and
found it had been drowned. There
will be no post-mortem examination
made upon the body of the mother as
her physical condition prior to death
clearly indicated that death was due
directly to acute congestion of the
lungs, due to exposure while in sthe
water. DR.. B. F. Patten was first call
ed in the case and remained in attend
ance until her death. He stated that
arteries in her lungs had burst owing
to extreme exercise of the lungs while
calling for help. The woman was rack
ed in mind and did not utter a respon-
sible sentence for several hours At
3 o'clock Monday morning, an hour be-
fore her death, when death cramps
were gathering, the doctor made an
effort to learn from her if possible
who committed the crime She De-
came conscious and replied to all
questions intelligently. and said:
Some men carried me away
through the window" and indicated
the window by look. When the vital
question was put to her as to who it
was she lapsed into Inconsistencies
and could not answer. She again
came to and weakly drew he'd husband
down and put her arms around his
neck. She became unconscious and
died without struggle.
The double funeral will be held
from the Friends church Tuesday at
2 p. m. Both bodies are in the same
coffin.
The county commissioners will be
asked to appropriate $1,000 reward for
apprehension Of the guilty party IT
is now thought rape was the motive
for the crime and they are working
on that line

buck, husband and faith r of the dead
woman and child, Haley Cape, 21 years
old, was arrested Tuesday night and
quietly taken to Newcastle and placed

During the inquest which was held

The Insane.

Cottages for the Insane at Dunning.
More pitifuI in their helplessness than
the consumptives are the insane. Many
OF them with reason driven out by the
troubles that beset the poor of large
city, the, to them, unsolvable problem
of providing food, clothing and shelter
for families and self in the midst of COM
petition that is both nerve and muscle
wracking.
Unlike the new conditions in the state
prisons these poor demented souls are
not left to think of their troubles. Such
of them as are physically able to work
are provided with tasks that come as a
greater boon than shelter, food and
clothing could possibly be alone A
spacious farm provides employment for
the great majority of those able to work.
On this farm is raised, by the help of
these workers, much of the vegetables
that are needed for the tables, much of
the feed for the cows and horses neces-
sary to the maintenance of the place.
For the workers pleasant cottage of
commodious size, 54x80 feet and two
stories high, has been built. In addition
to the employed farm hands, the truck
gardener and his family, this building
will accommodate about As of the men
tally deficient workers. Within it are
provided smoking rooms, lounging
rooms, toilet rooms, living rooms and
large air dormitories for the patients.
Around it may be found all the evidences
OF farm life, chickens, hogs, cattle,
barns and sheds. Both inside and out
it is ideal for its purpose. Here the boon
of work takes from the situation in
which these unfortunates find them
selves many of the terrors that would
otherwise surround the very idea of be-
ing public charge.
The less fortunate, those whose
troubles are so serious as to prevent
them from working, are equally well
provided for in pretty cottages, the sur
roundings of which are as ideal as the
purpose for which they are used makes
1t possible to make them.

MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
Such Is the Sum the Tax Payers Are
Spending for the INDECENT
Classes-Where the
Money Goes.

Chicago-UpOn it's needy of nearly
two and one-half millions of people
Cook county is expanding each year
practically a round million of dollars
in various forms of charity. This is the
contribution to the poor of the county
government, and does not include the
sums expended either by the city or by
the various charitable organizations.
Neither does it include the amounts ex-
pended year after year for buildings for
the charitable institutions.
This vast sum of money goes to care
for many classes of the INDECENT poor
1t cares for the insane at Dunning; it
heals the wounds of the afflicted at
the Cook county hospital; it provides
food for the hungry and coal for the
cold through the medium of the county
agent, and it buries the pauper dead
From the standpoint of the sociolog-
ical student there are few more interest
ing places than Dunning. Within the
protecting walls of its many buildings
hundreds of insane are cared for at ali
times. To it the poor are sent, there TO
complete their allotted days surrounded
by such necessities, if not luxuries, as
the public can bestow There one may
find the representatives of all nations
and all peoples. The latest addition to
this remarkable institution is the hos
pital for INDECENT consumptives, built
upon the most modern lines, with fresh
air and sunshine to be had-from every
side. Within this building about 100
patients may be accommodated at one
time. These patients come from the
overcrowded and infected slums. They
are the victims of the sweat shops and
the dust-ridden factories. The sunlight
and fresh air of Dunning gives to them
their one chance for life. Here they are
surrounded by such luxuries, provided
atpublic expense, as they have not known
before.
