PROMINENT MARYLANDERS INJURED. About 8% o'clock this morning a serious accident occurred at Odenton, Anne Arundai county, Md, by which two persons were injured. At this potnt the Annapolis and Elkridge railroad crosses almost at a right angie, but the approach to Odenton from this city 1s by a curve, rendering it impossi - ble for those on a northern bound train to See the cro=sing until within 300 yards of the station.

Dr C. MB. Nichols Exeverated. UNANIMOUS REPORT OF THE INVESTIGA- TING COMMITTEE. The Committeeon the Expenditures of the Interior department have fuished thelr re- port on the fnvestigation of the manage- ment of the U. 8. Insane Asylum. The re- port, which covers 95 pages of legal cap, sbows much care in its preparation. It begips by & recital of the resolution giving the committee power to make the investiga- lon, and then sets iorth the charges against Dr. Nichols, which have before besa printed, THE CHARGES are signed by E A. Hebard, James M. Thompsov, M. D.,O. A. Dailey, M. D,, A. Moffett and Theo. F. Wilson, and are in brief as follows: First. Mism: ent, extravagance and ion in the e: jitares of the ap- ation {and set apart for the use of the asylum. Second. Hepes, ones. and abuse of the Inmates of the asylum. Third. Total incompetency in the manage- ment of the government farm attached to the lum, making all of its acts cost about double what Lhey could be bought for ip open market. In regard to the first charge the committee that it was not sustained by the evidence submitted— GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF THE HOS- PITAL. The committee say that after a cereful ex- amination of the testimony relating to the second charge, they have arrived at tue con- clusion that whatever abuse rosy have ex- isted in the treatment of patierits may be attributable to the want of Kindness and ef ficiency on the tof attendants. The com- mittee do not think that ail or any cousid- erabie number of these employees Fave been inefficient and cruel, dat it is evident that some of them used more force than was ne- cessary, and were at times unnecessarily cruel and negligent. There is ne evidence g9- ing to show that the abuse of patients by at- tendants was ever tolerated by the superin- tendant. Witnesses agree in saying that whenever the fact was communicated to Dr. Nichols that an attendant nad beea wanton- ly ernel or negligent, he was immeiately discharged. The services recderei by this class of employees Js necessarily of a disa- greeable character, so much so, it 1s difficult to mduce them to retain their positions for any considerable length oftime. There are now employed at this in- institution 71 attendants, 49 males and 22 females. The committee think not only should the greatest caution be exercised in the selection of this class of employes, but that those found to be efficient in the per- formsnee of their duty should recelve acom- = tion sufficient to induce them to retain ‘beir positions in the institution, for the reason that it is their efficiency, kindness of disposition and forvearancs that the patients are mainly indebted for the benefits and 8 derived during their confinement. In reference to tae allegations that patients were covered with vermin, there can be no doubt that toa certain extent such has been the case. The condition of many patients when recetved at the institution, especially those from the army, was such as to render the presence of vermin possible; and it could only be by great care and attention that they could be prevented from spreading amorg the inmates. But the evidence clearly shows that waen the ice of vermin wes ditcovered prompt meas ures were at once instituted have them re. moved. ith regard to the charge that patients were furnished with tainted and un- wholesome food, your committee think that occasionally such may have been the case, but that the evidence In respect to the same, on the rt of witnesses who testified against the institution, have been greatly exaggerated. The committee pass now to the considera- tion of the third and last charge, to wit: “In- competency in the management of the farm; making all its products cost double what they could be dought forin open market.” The products are such as are most needed for the use of the institution, consisting princi- pally of different kinds of vegetables, frait, milk and ltry; and, while it may be, and nodoubt is true, that these articles can be purchased in the market at a less sum than it costs to produce them upon this farm, that fact by no means proves incompetency on the part of the superintendent in the man- agement of the farm. Two members of the commiitee, who are practical farmers, have carefully’ inspected the growing crops, and the condition of the land, and are satisfied that po material improvement can be mide upon the system adopted by the superinten- dent in the cultivation of this farm. It can- not be said that the land ts in @ high state of cultivation, nor can it be made so, for the reason that the soil is of an iaferior quality; bat the committee are of the opinion that it has been cultivated to the best advantage, and while it cannot be made @ source of profit to the hospital, it is absolutely neces- sary for the pleasure, comfort and sanitary welfare of the patients. REMOVAL OF PATIENTS TO MARYLAND AND NEW YORK. On this point the committee desire to notice and to express thelr coudemnation of ‘hat they consider an Inbuman act on whe j art of the authorities of the District of Columbia, in removing non-resident patients from the hospital and leaving them to wan- der, unprotected, in the woods of Maryland and in the streets of New York. Section 50 of the revised statutes provides for the adraission of indigent non-resident insane to the hospital, to be kept there at_the expense of the Disirict until their friends can be dis- covered and the place of their last residence ascertained, “with a view to the return of such person to such friends or to the place of bis residence, and thus rrelieve the District of the expense and charge of such indigent insane pon-resident.” Aiter reciting the cir- cumstances of the removai of certain patients in the night time to a point near Broad Creek Hill, in Maryland, in June, 1875, the com. mittee say that it is very evident that there Was uo intention on the part of the District Authorities to deliver these insane persons to the authorities of Prince George’s county, but simply to have them conveyed far enough from the hospital to prevent their return. It also appears by the testi: of Jobn Connell, @ policeman, that on the cay of June, of the same year, he, company: with Patrick O'Hare, aiso @ D! ts were sup- posed to be! ‘org, one in Wor- cester, Mass., and the other in Albany. The last two were furnished railroad tickets to their sup; laces of residence. It ma: be stated that ‘bese of non-resident lunatics possessed reason enough to enable them to reach their friends or whether they did or pot, the committee think their removal was unjustifiable and ipbuman, and trust that the District au- thorities in the future will more closely ob- ferve the law of delivering these helpless creatures to their friends or to the author ties of their last places of residence, and not foree them upon the cold charity of stran- gers. WM. E. VAN KURER’S CASE. The committee then discuss the “Bontz,” “Arobrose,” “Loomis” and *‘Van Kurea” cases, and arrived at the conclusion that while the witnesses did not intentionally make misstatements they greatly exagger- ated the facts. The committee recite the evidence In the Van Kuren case, and say they bave po doubt that Mrs. Van Karen‘s statements are fo some extent correct; that is, that her son bad vermin both upon his head and body, and that be had been in this condition for some considerable time; which, in the judgment of the committee, shows & Want, at least, of that strict and scrupulous attention upon the part of attendanws and superintendents of wards which should al. ways characterize the management of an institution of this Bind. So iar as personal violence to this patient is concerned, the committee do not think the evidence suM™- clent to sustain the charge. That the quick ‘ception of @n affectionate mother may ave discovered what she believed to be marks of violence we do not doubt, but to attribute cruelty to unfortunate imbe a pee ene an seemed to be marks of viol: cpilcri pie ran tear ea we and injure himself, not feel At liberty to do, especial! can Bnd no” motive ‘ante jp A Re wo . helpless, docile, and unotf Er far aa any’ charge soaneettig Dr. Nice the the committee are of that the are rot with the duty of such invas- tigation.

The number of discharged soldiers and satlors under treatment at the hospital on the 30th of June, 1875, was 174. It is doubt- ful whether any of this number would be entitled to treatment then under the act of 1866, and prior acts, for the reason that their insanity was, in all probability, produced by other causes than that of their service in the array and navy. The committee are of the opinion that the government is under no more moral obligation to rt this class of insane persons than it support the soldiers who have by accident or otherwise become disabled since their discharge from the army, and in view of the fact that the hospital is now crowded beyond its capac- ity, would recommend that hereafter its benefits be extended only to such as are mentioned in the act of 1866, and prior acis. The committce also call attention to the un- usua!ly large number of patients, admitted from clyil life, that are being treated at this institution. According to the last report of the board of visitors the number of civilians at the aor on the 30th of June, 1875, was 290. The civillans who are entitled to the benefits of the institution are of two classes :—Firet, indigent persons, who be- come insane witlle residing in the District of Columbia. Second, private ts the District upon of thetr support. this latter class there were 31 remaining under treatment at the year, June 30, 1875, De- this number from the ber of civil there from the District under » By re- ference to the census Of 1870 it will be found that the ratio of insane people in the United States 1s about one to every one thousand of population. The population of the District of Columbia may estimated in round numbers & 150,000,and assuming that all the insane persons, inc)uding those who are not, &s well as those who are, indigent, to be con- Sned at the hospital, the number, accordin to the average ratio, ought not to exceed 150, and unless it can be established that the numberof insane in this District is very much larger in proportion to ioe popuation than in any other portion of the United States, it follows that very many of thi class, Dow under treatment, were not res! dents of this District at the time of admis. sion, and therefore not entitied to the ben. efits of the institution. A notable instance of failure in @ strict observance of the law with respect to the ad. mission of civilians, will be found in the fact that @ class of pertons known as dipso- maniacs have been receiving the benefits of the institution, In their report for the years 1867-'8, the board of visitors say: ‘The most marked event in the last year was the ad- mission of an unusual number of dipsoma- niacs—of persons whose intem: ite use of alcoholic stimulants had, in the Judgment of competent medical men, become an ingani- ty, evinced both by the extent and by other more or less permanent morbid mental man- liestations.” While the committee do not doubt that a person may become insane from the excessive use of ardent spirits, thay do not incline to the belief the “morbid mental manifestations,” 98 such @ person Toay exhibit, is such a species of insanity as toentitie bim to admission to this institu- tion. These persons are more properly sub- jects for an inebriate asylum or a son than the ipmateof this institution.

After this meeting and before tea time many engaged in singing, which drew Sround the tent fronts small audiences. There was some prospect of preaching at the stand in the evening, but the plain boarding for seats was found to be too wet, and the meeting tent was — occupied. Rev.
