Mow it is Proposed te Enlarge the Presest Building. As stated in THE STAR, it {s the intention of the management of Providence hospital ulti- mately to add to the present building. The hospital now owns all of the ground in the ‘square In which It 1s located excepting three lots fronting on D street. Sister Beatrice, who is In charge of the hospital, stated toa STAR reporter that the owners of these lots are will- ing to sell, and she expected the hospital would eventually purchase the ground. There was always in the hospital, as in an omnibus, “room for one more,” but still the need for ad- ditional room was becomt more aj t every day. Sometimes, the sister sat bed in the hospital was occupied. It was nally pro} to enlarge the hospital by ex- tending a wing fromthe center of the buildi southward, like the wings on the sides, but suc! an extension Is now considered undesirable, ax it would tend to shut off air and light trom the Present building. Sister ors having plenty of ground and an abundance of fresh air and light about a hospital. There is at present no fund available for building and no definite plan has been for Beatrice said that ter she believed Providence would give them the means to build the addi- tion, When the construction of the present building was begun, fifteen years.ago, the sisters started without any money but a great deal of faith, and Providence brought to them money and good friends. Among the improvements in recent days in the hospital is an elevator. It ‘was secured for the hospital through the efforts of Hon. David Davis when he wasein the Sen- ate. Senator Davis, as is well known, is very corpulent. He had’ occasion to visit & friend who occupied a bed on the upper floor ot the hospital. After puffing up the stairs and learn- ing that there was no elevator in the building he went to the Capitol and took measures at once, which resulted in baving an elevator placed in the hospital, — Kenny Wilson's Wound Dangerous. THE BULLET EXTRACTED FROM HIS HEAD BY DR. PURVIS. This morning in the Police Court Mr. Thomas called to the attention of Judge Snell the case of Sandy Henderson and John Bush, the col- ored men charged with shooting Kenny Wilson in Sulllvan’s saloon, corner of 9th street and Grant avenue, Monday afternoon. He read a certificate from Dr. Purvis, in charge of Freed- man’s hospital, as,follows: “The wound of Kenny Wilson is a dangerous one. His condition this morning is better than Lexpected It would be. It is too early togive a decided opinion. I succeeded in extracting the ball yesterday evening, which passed through the frontal portion of his head, which had en- tered on the left side, and was taken out on the Tight side of his nose.” Phe judge said he would let the case stand without bail until something further could be learned of Wilson's condition later on.
