BORN IN A MANGER. Mrs. Ford Being Turned Out of a Springfield Hotel Gives Birth to a Child in a Livery Stable. Springfield, Mo. Feb. 26. A sad incident eccurred here yesterday morning that has occasioned consid- erable talk and elicited a good share of interest among the citizens of this city. About 7 o’clock a weman who gave her name as Eliza Ford, went to Paul & Routh’s livery stable to procure a vehicle to find some house te step at, but an event trans- pired that for the time being render- ed everything of the kind unneces- sary. The lady had scarcely enter- ed the litile dingy office betore she gave birth to a little healthy girl ba- by. The worthy proprietor of the livery stable bad her placed in a bed in a small room adjoining the office, znd at once sent tor a physician and family nurses, and mother and babe were provided for as well as the cir- cumstances would admit. Mrs. Ford says she isthe widow ot Will- iam Ford who died 1n Jasper county some time last month, and that she was.on her way to the home of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, who liyes near Marshfield. She ar- rived here on one of the evening i trains, and received lodgings for the i} night at one of the principal hotels, : where she asked permission to stop tor a few days, which was not grant- | ¢d and she was turned eut into the | street before breakfast. i Yerrible Treatment. if Pittsburg' Feb. 26.—The Dix- mont insane asylum investigation was resumed to-day, and the morn- ing session was taken up entirely by the testimony of D. Carroll. an in- mate in 1869. He stated that when first taken there he was used very voughly. He refused te take med- icine and was knocked down, kick- ed and choked. After the second day he never received any abuse but saw plenty of others mal- treated. One of the worst cases was that of a patient named Myers. Harper, an attendant appeared to have a special dishke for Myers and tbused him on all occasions. One day a patient named Lowell struck Meyers and knocked him against a bench wher Harper rush- ed in with a leather stcap and struck Meyers on the back with a buchic and chased him into a cell. Harper had a bunch of keys with which he used to strike patients in the face. Witnesss was placed in a cell with the others, one of whom was uncon- trellable filthy. The ventilation was poor and the atmosphere un- bearable- The straw ticks were aot changed and otten were coated with filth. Another case was that tient named Swanson, tall and slim, and subject to fits. more \) it i of a One day Swanson ‘lost his sack und could not find it. The attend- ant named Jamison said he would make him and They clinched and fell, Swansou on top. Jamison managed to get up first, however, and began kicking Swan- son about the body in a horrible and bratal manner. The latter plead for him to quit and offered a regular prayer to God for help.
