NETWORK PosrGRADUATE REPORT.
Hospital Had Banner Year-Many Patients
Treated-Debt Decreased.

The New-York POSTGRADUATE Hospital, in its an
nuaI report for 1895. shows a remarkable increase
in its work. There were 1887 patients treated in

beds was 2S19; number Of free days Of hospital
care 4S 256; number of free patients treated dis
pensary ISIS: number of free visits by patients
at dispensary. 95,142
The POSTGRADUATE is one OF the group OF non
municipal hospitals. Free patients admitted
and cared for in other hospitals throughout the
city, The cost Of the plant and most of the ex-
penditures Of the hospital met chiefly by contri-
buttons from private sources and from the fees
received from the medical college, of which It is
an integral part. Miss Margaret A Jones left
large sum of money the hospital which the
directors announce. greatly reduced the debt on
the institution a benefactor has promised 100000
II the hospital will raise 100000 more. With this
sum on hand the directors say they will soon be
able TO announce the debt against the hospital
cancelled.
The annex for treatment Of pulmonary tnbercu-
losis accomplished good work last year The di-
rectors need money to enlarge this feature of

MURDER OF EX-tTOVERNOR.
Assassin Worked Bomb Himself E
State Funeral Planned.

Rose Idaho Dec. Silt developed to-day
that the assassination last night at Caldwell OF
Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg with a dyna-
mite bomb was not by machine but that some
one pulled wire that exploded the dynamite.
1t also developed thut two bombs used,
both being exploded simultaneously by means of
wire and waxed fish line. remnants Of which
were found to-day on the lawn
The conviction grows that Steunenberg
murdered as a result of his activity in crushing
miners. strike riots at Coeur d'Alene in 1899.
on this theory one man was arrested to-day,
but his name is kept secret by the police. who
say evidence against the prisoner is strong.
Five other men have been detained on sus-
picion.
The explosive was placed against the latch
post of the Governors gate and on the inside
of the fence That post to the victims left
as he entered, but the explosion caught him on
the right side, showing that he turned around in
closing the gate. This fact, with the finding of
wire and fish line. made the police certain that
the mine was fired by wire
The assassin it is thought. knew Steunen-
bergs habit of stopping to close the gate, and
waited until the former Governor turned;
stranger would have supposed that he would
have gone in at the front gate. Steunenberg
was terribly wounded, the right arm being near
" torn Off All his right side was fearfully torn,
the right leg being nangled and shattered. The
left leg was also mangled. The features Of the
victim were not disfgured. Portions Of cloth
ing were scattered for fifty yards. The victim
himself was thrown ten feet from the gate.
A small hole ten inches IN depth shows the
spot where the bombs lay. The gate is gone,
not splinter being found All the windows
in the rear side OF the house broken and
much glass was broken in other houses almost
a block away.
Ex-Governor Steunenberg seemed to think
that he had been shot, according to incoherent
remarks he made to those who rushed to his
aid he remained conscious until he ds1.
twenty five minutes after the explosion, but he
could not answer questions talk intelligently.
Shoshone County has offered a reward of
SO 600 for the capture OF the murderers, and
has sent its sheriffs to assist in the search. It
was in that county, in the northern end of the
State that the Occur d'Alene riots occurred in
1899 It is probable the funeral will be held in
Boise the body lying in state in the Capitol
building.
While Governor of Idaho Steunenberg be-
came widely known He favored liberation to
Nornons although not Mormon in belief. He
caused some comment on q visit to New-York
by stalking through the streets in sombrero
and without a necktie.

MAY TAKE CASE HIGHER.
aldermen, Dismayed by Franchise
Decision, Consider Further Action.

Whether or not the Board Of Aldermen has
really lost the power to grant franchises IS a
burning question among the members OF the
board. The abrupt termination of the SUITS
brought by two taxpayers, by a decision OF JUS
tice Blanchard, of the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court, handed down on Saturday. was
a surprise to the aldermen and their supporters
who were confident that the law giving the
power of granting franchises to the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment would be declared
unconstitutional
lawyer who has followed these cases closely
said yesterday that it was question which OF
the several franchises pending will be most al
fected by the decision. and whether there was
sufficient ground for carrying the question to the
Court of Appeals. In any case, he SAID, tne
complaints of the same two citizens VINO
brought the original action would not be the basis
of any further investigation. as no other suits
of an exactly similar kind are pending. and
these have been regarded covering all the
points required to make a test case.
L. Latin Kellogg. of counsel for the aldermen,
said last night that he had no doubt about the
unconstitutionality of the law, and that, while
he had not yet seen the papers written by Jus
tice Laughlin, upon which Justice Blanchard
based his decision, he felt sure that the case
would be appealed and taken to the higher
