THE WITNESS DISAPPEARS List of Streets Needing Resurfac- ing This Year Reported ORDERS ISSUED TODAY. — 0 This afternoon the Commissioners re- ceived from the superintendent of charities his report upon the charges filed with the Secretary of the Interior relative to the alleged abuses at Freedman’s Hospital. ‘On August 2 Alice Crawford called upon Commissioner Ross and told him a story of the wrongs she suffered while a patient at Freedman’s Hospital. The complainant ‘was directed to put her charges in writing and submit them to the Secretary of the Interior, under whose direct supervision the institution came. This was done, and the following charges were made, and later sent to the Commissioners for investigation and report: ‘The Honorable, the Secretary of the Inter- jor: Sir: ‘I write to complain of and call your attention to abuses at the Freeiman’s ilos- pital. I was admitted on the 2ist of July, 1893, and left on the 2d of August, 1892. The physiclans were rough and abusive, the colored attendants used obscene and insult- ing language, medicine was improperly ad- ministered, the food, while good, was badly cooked and dirty. White patients were par- ticularly ill-treated. In all, duriag my stay, the treatment was brutal and ilfe made almost unendurable. I particularly com- lain of nurse Marion Banks and Flla isher; the latter has been a woman of bad character and is now employed in the hos- ital; also of personal ill treatment by Dr. urvis, chief surgeon. I am the widow of a soldier, my husband was in company G, twenty-third infantry, died at Leavenworth, Kan., on the 23d of January, 1839. I reter fou as to character to Mrs. Sopala Hur- Dour of 712 24 street northwest and. Mr. F. W. Hodge of the United States zeologi cal survey. Begging that you will inves te these matters, yours very respect- ly, ALICE CRAWFORD, No. 712 2d street northwest. Report on Charges. ‘The superintendent of charities was called upon to investigate the matter, and today handed to the Commissioners his report, which is as follows: August 15. To the Commissioners of the District of Columbia: Gentlemen: I have the honor to report as follows regarding the complaint of Alice Crawford ‘respecting certain matters con- nected with the management of the Freed- man’s Hospital: I visited the hospital, and, after inquiring into the circumstances of the admission and discharge of the com- plainant, as shown by the records and by statements of the surgeon in chief, I exam- ined the hospital attendants who had charge of Mrs. Crawford, questioning them mi- nutely and at length. ‘The allegation that Attendant Ella Fisher “ds a woman of bad character” is borne out, to a certain degree at least, by her own admission that she has been twice arrested and fined for disorder in the streets, and that the occasion of her going to the ho: 1 was the breaking of both her le ile jumping out of the window of a house which the police were entering. She is not, as Dr. Purvis informs me, a regularly em: ployed nurse, but is temporarily engaged as night attendant in the absence of the res- ular nurse. She has been so employed for some time, Mrs. Crawford, who was under her charge, having left the hospital on the second of August. Ella Fisher was admitted to the institu- tion about six months ago and she ts well spoken of by the physicians and nurses as having rendered good service in her present capacity. ‘rom information received from Dr. Pur- vis and from statements of Nurses Marion Banks and Bessie Lawson {t appears that Alice Crawford was a patient on three oc- casions; that each time she came to the in- stitution apparently suffering from the ef- fects of drink, and that when she left it the last time she had been told that complaint of her conduct would be made to Dr. Pur- vis and that thereupon she left suddenly. I visited 712 2d street northwest, the ad- dress given as the residence of complain. ant, Alice Crawford, and was informed there that she had left a week ago without giving any information as to where she was going. I am therefore, for the present, de- prived of opportunity to examine the com- plaining witness and so obliged to make partial and imperfect report. Yours respectfully, JOHN TRACEY, Superintendent of Charities. An Underground Cro: In reply to the complaint of Green relative to the necessity of a crossing over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at ¢th and I streets, mention of which has here- tofore appeared in The Star, Capt. Fiebeser say! “There are crossings with gates «t Sth and 7th streets. .If a crossing ts constructed | at 6th street I would suggest a passaye under the tracks, as shows in diagram. This will enable school children going to school on I street between 6th and 7th from of railroad to cross the line of same without danger. If timber be used instead of masonry the cost would not be reat. The work should be done by the railroad com- ny. ‘This recommendation has been approved and the Commissioners have ordered the construction of an underground crossing as suggested. Detective Raff's Case. The wife of ex-Detective Raft has applied to the Commissioners for relief. She states in a letter to them today that her husband is at present confined at St. Elizabeth Asy- Jum, and that the only support she receives is the rent from three rooms. A pension of $5 per month was granted Raff, but he is compelled to pay his board at the institu- tion. Mrs. Raff claims that her husband was a resident of the District, and a mem- ber of the detective force when he taken ill, and believes that he should be maintained by the institution, and that the pension of $2 be allowed her for the support of herself and two small children. Today's Orders. The orders of the Commissioners for to- day were as follows: That the sewer department be directed to change the top of the flushing tank on U street west of 32d street to conform to the grade of the street. That the Washington Gaslight Company is directed to lower the two lamp posts in alley in square 73, between 24, 34, F and G streets. ‘That @ catch basin be constructed by the sewer department at the northwest corner of Sth and S streets northwest. That about 1,250 cubic yards of broken stone be purchased from M. F. Talty at 75 cents per cubie yard. ‘That the street lamps at the corner of 10th and G streets northwest be lowered to proper le, and that the pole at the corner of lith and G streets be moved. That water-vaive boxes recently put in Sth street southeast near E be placed at proper grade. That the time for the completion of the contract 1698, between the District and the Cranford Paving Company, is extended to August 1. Fire Marshal Drew's Report. The complaint of E. Campbell, 430 New Jersey avenue, regarding the construction of @ well or gasometer for the manufacture of gasoline on the premises 44 New Jersey avenue, was referred to Fire Marshal Drew for examination and report. Yesterday the report was submitted as follows: “I find in Tear room on first floor used as a stable & (Dit dus, about elght feet square seven feet deep, walled up on all sides with concrete floor, said pit covered with heavy timbers with trap door in same. In said pit is erected a large copper tank or gasometer for the manufacture of illuminating gas capable of holding five barrels of gasoline ‘This tank was partially filled with sald fluid when examined, the fumes from which were very strong, and in my opinion ex- geedingly dangerous on account of iis in- flammable nature. The structures sur- roundfhg said bulliding are all frame and would last but a short time should fire oc- cur. I am informed by the inspector of buildings that a permit was not obtained for said work or locating tank.” The police have been instructed to look into the mat- Streets Needing Repairs. According to the recommendation of In- spector Riley, in charge of street repairs, the following streets and avenues of the city need resurfacing during the current fiscal year: Dupont Circle; 19th from Dupont Circle to Q street; 18th from M street to Massachu- setts avenue; Massachusetts avenue from 6th to Dupont Circie; N from Connecticat venue to Zist; 20th from New Hampshire enue to Cornecticut avenue; Khode Is- land avenue from ith to Connecticut nue; Washington Circle (north side); 17th from Eto New York avenue; M ‘from %th to Rock creek: M (south side) from M street bridge to 28th; Aqueduct street from Aqueduct bridge to 29th; Connecticut ave- orth | nue from H to I; K from Mth to 6th: from 9th to 10th; intersection 13th and New York avenue; I from l4th to 16th; Columbia from O to Q; Madison from 15th to 17th; Corcoran from 13th to 14th; Corcoran irom 4th to 15th; M from i6th’ to Connecticut avenue; $th'from N to P; O from 4th to ith; New York avenue from 14th to 15th; lth from G to New York avenue; Sth from H to New York avenue; Massachusetts ave- nue (south side) from 4th to 7th; Massachu- setts avenue (north side) from intersection of 4th; G from 3d to 5th; F (north side) from 6th to 6th; L New Jersey ave- nue to 4th; L from Sth to 6th; M from 6th to 7th; 10th and Pennsylvania avenue, north and south intersection; 9th Pennsyl- vanla avenue, south intersection; Loutsiana avenue and Pennsylvania avenue, south in- tersection; Pennsylvania avenue and ist northwest, around the Peace Monument ith and Pennsylvania avenue, north incer. section, and intersection of Pennsylvania avenue; E from north curb line to south rail of ‘Belt Railroad; H street, south side, from North Capitol to ist, east; ist north: east, from B north to A south; 7th and Louisiana avenue, intersection ' (Asphalt Block street).

The board of supervisors of Alexandria county, Va., have sent to the Secretary of War an official communication, as follows: Sir: The board of supervisors of this county invite your attention to the ne- Blected condition of the United States prop- erty at the south end of the Aqueduct bridge and the roads running thence to Fort Myer and to the east entrance of the Arlington National cemetery. ‘The tract of land (about seven acres) at the bridge is in charge of your department. (Purchased in 1888 by the United States tor bridge approaches.) It is now iy. gccupied by a pump house for the Fort Myer water supply. This property is wholly uncared for and unimproved in ap) ce. It is used as a dumping ground for refuse from Washington, is unfenced, overgrown with brush and untrimmed trees, or used for storage of building material and the cars and structures of the Washington and Arlington railway. Further, it is a resort of idle and dissolute people from Washiny ton. There are 200 or more feet of dange ous banks adjoining the bridge approaches, where fences are needed. We ask that thi property be fenced, improved and beaut fied, and that,a watchman be employed to ace it in order, ‘The roads from the bridge to the fort, and to the cemetery, especially on this prop- erty, are in bad repair. The United States owns a large portion of Alexandria county and pays no taxes or other contribution to its expenses. ‘The roads are wsed mostly by visitors to the cemetery and Fort Myer gnd by troops. In winter they are a dise1 it to the War rtment and to this community. uuggest that they be macadamized at once, and if the funds of your department are insufficient, that. several hun- dred of the unemployed troops at Fort Myer be given practical work in road bullding, and also healthful exereise in this important work. e: ‘uly, wr PRANE HUME, JOHN W. CLAR' R. HENRY PHIL! PS, UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, How Cabinet Families Enjoy Them- selves at Deer Park. Correspondence of The Evening Star. DEER PARK AND OAKLAND, M4., Avgust 15, 1893, The Secretaries of State and Treasury, with the Postmaster General, greatly en- joyed their two days’ rest in the moun- tains, their sole regret being the necessity for so hurried a departure. Every moment of their stay was put to good advantaze, and brief though it was, they reaped mark- ed benefit from the change. | Judge and Mrs. Jeremiah Wilson have as | their guests Mrs. Ellen Slaymaker of | Washington, and her grandson, Mr. Gor- don Heiter, a recent graduate of West Point. Mr. Heiner is a young man of fine attainments, having stood sixth in a class of 100, thus entitling him to hold rank as an officer of artillery. He will devove his leave to the study of ordnance. Mrs, Carlisle and Mrs. Gresham expect to leave for the city the latter part of the week. The ladies were the guests of honor at a card party given on Monday evening by the Countess Esterhazy at the hotel. Other invitations of a lke nature have flowed in upon the distinguished guests in numbers during the past week. The tm- pression which somehow got abroad that the ladies of the cabinet objected to notice during the early part of their stay, re- strained many from making advances for fear of intruding upon their chosen privacy, but finding them most approachable, these considerations have at length given place to a more genial hospitality. Mrs. Carlie is seriously considering the proposition of building a cottage upon a commanding site in the neighborhood of Ronn for next season’s occupancy, tl as yet nothing definite has been settled, i Mrs. James F. Barbour entertained a com- pany of friends at a progressive euchre party on Friday evening.
