Major Moore today transmitted to the Commissioners the report of Sanitary Officer Frank for the fiscal year. In his Teport the sanitary officer says: While the subjoined tables show @ marked increase tn the legitimate work of the office, it is also true that the year just ‘50 '¢ | closed was no exception as to the calls made upon the sanitary officer for information and assistance that are in no way connect- ed with the duties appertaining to the office. This part of the work cannot be properly classified, and owing to its general nature does not come under any particular head. No doubt much of the work of this char- acter is due to the fact that a large propor- tion of the people do not seem to under- stand the object of this office, and are lable to confuse its work with the operation of other departments of the District govern- ment. Notwithstanding this I have stu- 10| diously endeavored to provide for all cases brought to my attention, legally disposing of those that properly belong to this branch of our work and endeavoring to guide others in the right direction. ‘Transpertation. This part of the work consumes more time and requires more thorough investi- gation than any of the operations of the office, calling as it does for an expenditure of public funds; and the latitude of the law in Its specifications of those Mable to become @ charge upon this District necessarily calls for a careful investigation of each particular case in order to legally establish @ claim for assistance, During the year just closed transportation was furnished to’ 770 persons, at an ex. penditure of $1,794.94, as against 665 persons for the preceding year at a cost of $1,669.95, showing an increase of 105 persons and $124.97 more than for the previous year. In addition to this there were nine dangerous or insane persons returned under police es- cort to their respective homes or institu- tions, from which they had escaped, at an expenditure of $76.01, while for the year prior the amount expended in like manner for eight persons was $62.68, an increase of one Person and $13.88, making a total cost for transportation of $1,870.9. I have at times experienced no little difficulty in disposing of some of these cases, but it was a satis- faction to feel that no person has received the benefit of this {und not legally entitled to the same. It will be observed that the increase as to those furnished transportation (05) is larger than any previous year. While it is to be expected that a natural increase in the work of this department will occur from year to year, yet I believe the large increase for the past year can be attributed to the great humber of persons brought here during the encampment of the Grand Army of the Re- public in September last and at the inau- guration of the President in March. Soldiers and Cranks. The number furnished transportation in- cludes 145 ex-soldiers and sailors, an in- crease of nineteen over the number reported for the preceding year. I regret to be com- pelled to note this increase, as I hoped our advice to the old soldiers in past reports would result to their good, and that they would learn the utter uselessness of coming here to prosecute their claims, but I find in many cases they were persuaded to visit this city really believing they would secure immediate action on their claims for pen- sions, but meeting with disappointment and being impecunious they are naturally thrown upon the charity of the District. ‘As predicted in my last report, the “crank” has shown qufte an iucrease, doubtless brought here by the excitement attending the Presidential election and inauguration, seeking some new lucrative position or claiming some responsible office to which they imagine they had been elected. Twenty- one persons of this character were sent to thelr homes during the year just closed, while ten persons of the same class were disposed of in like manner for the year prior. In the disbursement of the funds appro- priated for transportation I have always considered the peramount object of this “charity” to be the amelioration of the co: dition of the worthy poor and to relieve this District of the expense of their becoming a charge upon the community, and with this in view I have carefully investigated each ap- plicant for transportation, and ‘it is pleasing to note that the disposition of each case has met with your approval. I recommend the usual appropriation of $2,000 for the transportation fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18%, and again urge my suggestion in former reports of making the appropriation separate fro that “for the transportation of prisoners.’ Hospitals. As shown by the statistics herewith there has been a marked increase during the year in the number of persons sent to the va- rious hospitals in this city. Within the year just closed the number thus provided for was 2,908, while for the year prior 2,577 were disposed of in Ike manner, thus show- ing an increase of $29 over the previous year. This seems to be an undue increase, especially when we corsider the District was free from any epidemics. In this as well as in all other charities I have found it an important duty to guard against the “pretenders” who frequently appeal for admission to the hospitals as a means of rest and subsistence. The neighboring states of Virginie and Maryland have more than contributed their usual quota of sick and indigent, as 210 persons from the for- mer and 151 from the latter state have, dur- ing the year received hospital accommo- dations, an increase of twenty-four for Vir- ginia and twelve for Maryland over the year previous. This seems to be an injus- tice to the hospitals and tax payers of this District, especially so far as it relates to the state of Maryland, as all are well aware that the city of Baltimore is provided with excellent hospitals. Many of these unfortu- nate persons who come or are sent us from the states indicated are in a deplorable con- dition and it would be manifestly inhuman to refuse them hospital care and treatment, and it is not an infrequent occurrence that after becoming convalescent or altogether recovered they are furnished transporta- tion which they claim, thus receiving a double benefit. It is to be regretted that the erection of a hospital for the treatment of contagious diseases was necessarily postponed. Indeed I know of no Institution which was more needed/in this city, and which would prove a greater blessing to the community than a hospital of this character and in this con- nection I earnestly recommend that an isolated ward be set apart in the several hospitals for the treatment of contagious diseases pending the erection of a proposed building for that purpose. It is gratifying to state that I am not aware of any patients in any of the hos- pitals having cause for complaint; but, on the contrary, many have gratefully appre- ciated the benefits received, and it ts also pleasant to note that the relations between the officials of the several hospitals and this departmnet have been of the most friendly and courteous character, and in a number of cases extraordinary provisions have been made for the unfortunate sick and destitute. Especially was this true when our city was crowded in September last, during the visit of the “Grand Army of the Republic.” I feel it due to those in charge of the various hospitals to say that it ts to be regretted that their good work is not more generally known to the resi- dents of the District and appreciated by them, as it is by the authority having offi- cial and tmmediate intercourse with their management. Ambulance Service. This branch of our work has been greatly improved by the removal of the ambulance stables from the fourth precinct station to that of the second, the building having been completed and the transfer made April 1, 1893. This part of the sanitary service is of great importance, and the transfer of the stable has contributed much to the effi- ciency of the service. Under the former conditions the delays were frequent at the railroad crossing on Virginia and Maryland avenues. This difficulty having been over- come,more prompt action has been the result ‘The strain upon the drivers, as well as the horses, has been relieved, and we now have ‘a commodious and convenient stable. While the calls for the ambulance have increased from year to year, the demands were by far more frequent during the past fiscal year than ever before. The number of calis responded to was 2,047, being 467 more runs made than during the year pre- vious, Of this number 161 are returned as having rendered no service, and experience has convinced me that if more care was exercised on the part of physicians, officers and others calling for the ambulance, many of these useless runs could be avoided and the more dangerous and urgent cases could receive more prompt attention, as delays are often caused by attending unnecessary calls. I cannot commend too highly the faith- fulness, promptness and general efficiency of our ambulance drivers, who are, without exception, the most poorly paid employes of the department. I feel that I should not be doing my duty did I not again call atten- tion and renew my former recommendation that the pay of the drivers be increased to $0 per month, and that of the assistant drivers to $40 per month. Their present compensation ($40 and $25 per month, re- spectively) is far below that of many who render less valuable service. These men are grateful for your former effort in their behalf, and hope that you may be success- ful in’ accomplishing this well earned and much needed relief. The Insane. This class of the unfortunate with whom we have to deal always calls for prompt, de- cided and discreet action, and while an in- crease in insanity is to be regretted, yet I am compelled to report that the number committed to the Government Hospital for the Insane during the year just closed shows gn increase of fifteen over the prior year. I am pleased to say that during the year arrangements were made with Dr. (W. W. Godding, superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane, for the tem- porary admission of patients to the insti- tution under his charge pending a judicial investigation and trial by jury, thus re- Meving the unfortunate persons who are violently insane from being confined in a station house cell. There are cases, how- ever, that come to the attention of the sanitary officer that scarcely admit of their immediate admission to the Hospital for the Insane, and yet call for their deten- tion by the police, and in this connection I renew my recommendation made in several former reports, for the necessity of pro- viding some suitable place of detention where such persons can be properly cared for and treated, and, perhaps, restored to | their normal condition. Such a place could be readily proviled at the Washington | Asylum at a smail ccet. I regard this as a very important recommendation and one that should meet with favorable considera- tion. I desire again to acknowledge our indebtedness to Dr. Godding, the efficient superintendent of the Government Hospital for the Insane, for his uniform kindness and courtesy in all his dealings with this department and the ald he has afforded this office in providing for the unfortunate insane committed to our care. Asylums for Inebriates. I earnestly urge my suggestion made In former reports looking to the establishment for an asylum for inebriates. An institu- tion of this character has been a long-felt want, and with an increase of our popula- tion the demand for a hospital or asylum, where the treatment of the inebriates should be compulsory, is all the more evi- dent by the cases that are brought to the attention of this office. Many cases of mental disorder have come under my ob- servation that could be traced directly to intemperance, and if they could receive Proper treatment and restraint the neces- sity of eventually confining them in the asylum for the insane could doubtless be obviated. If a suitable hospital for ine- briates could be erected, properly equipped and conducted, it would, I am sure, result in a power of good to this most unfortu- nate class, as well as affording great relief to the community. There is no doubt such an asylum would accomplish a work equal in all respects to the most humane and beneficial. Thanks to Officials. In conclusion, permit me to express my grateful acknowledgments for your judi- cial counsel and generous approval of my work. I also desire to express my appre- elation for the great relief and assistance you have afforded me in detailing Officer William H. Amiss for clerical work in this office. He has proved himself efficient, and his services have resulted in facilitating the business devolving upon him. I should feel it an unjust omission did I not extend my thanks to the surgeons of police, the physicians to the poor, as well as the officers at headquarters ‘and the lieutenants of the several precincts for their several valuable assistance and kind co-operation at all times in the humane and charitable work devolving upon the sant- tary officer. Thanks are also due to the attorney for the District, to the intendent of the Washington Asylum and those in charge of the various hospitals and char- itable institutions. ——— MERITED PRAISE For the Good Work of the Board of Agent Lewis of the board of children’s guardians was present in the Police Court this morning interested in the case of John E. Bruce, the colored editor, against whom there was a charge of assault. The com- plainant in the case was a bright little twelve-year-old colored girl named Olive A. Curtis, who is claimed by Bruce as his ille- gitimate child. He was not in the city when the child was born and consequently his knowledge of the child was only hear- say. The birth certificate of the child shows that Bruce is its father and that Alice Ayers is its mother. Bruce had not seen the child until about a month ago. Then he grabbed her and attempted to take her with him. Previous to that the child had been turned over to the board of children’s guardians in order to give Mrs. Spurgeon legal custody of her. She had lived in Mrs. Spurgeon’s family on H street northeast for a number of years and according to the child's story she had always received the kindest treatment. Mrs. Spurgeon told Judge Miller that she had always sent the child to school until &@ few weeks ago, when the mother,who was under the influence of liquor, tried to pick her up on the street and take her away. ‘The defendant made a statement in his own behalf and said he was not in the city at the time of the birth of the child. He also said he was ignorant of the existence of such an organization as the board of qhildren’s guardians and said he did not mow that Mrs. Spurgeo: oF ae ei purgeon had legal custody fudge Miller spoke in terms of fi the good work being done by the heart OF children’s guardians, which, he said, was composed of good citizens, who would do the very best thing possible for children. ‘These people, the judge said, stand in re- lation of a parent to a child. serhe Judge said he thought that the de. ani © a newspapel fendant being: f man should have ‘The defendant said that hi Johnson's advice before he acted L2™¥eF Judge Miller told him that there were 5,000 of his people in the streets and allers Who were being brought into court daily Many of them do not know their parents and the parents are not willing to rec. ognize them.

Mr. Breckinridge Has His Libel Suit Be- called to His Attention. Sharp Passage in the House Between Kentucky and Indiana—The Rise and Fall of Parties. Representative Breckinridge of Kentucky made his first appearance yesterday in the | debates of the House since he has figured |So prominently in the gaze of the public, | It was not generally known that he was to | speak upon the federal election bill, and | there was not the large audience present | which assembled a few weeks ago upon the | announcement that he was to speak upon the silver bill, and which waited a whole day only to be disappointed at his non- appearance. Mr. Breckinridge’s speech was prefaced by a little incident which was rather unpleasant, and which caused a ripple of comment through the galleries. Mr. Johnson of Indiana had preceded him, and in his closing remarks had taunted Mr. Breckinridge with interrupting his speech. “I do not know, Mr. Speaker.” said Mr. Breckinridge, “that I caught the last re- mark of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Johnson), but if I did it was a complaint at an interruption by me. And there was @ request that by the courtesy of the House he might be permitted to extend his re- marks to an unlimited degree. That cour- tesy was granted by myself as cordially as by others. And when I interrupted him simply to ascertain how tong he desired to speak, so that I might know when I should be expected to take the floor, the gentleman answered with that scant courtesy which he seems to think ought to mark a repre- sentative of the people. “If he represents his district, Mr. Speaker, if he is a fair type of his district, no one has a right to complain that they sent him here. They have a right to be represented by a gentleman who uses the word ‘Infa- mous’ about the majority of the American people, and holds that they are not to be trusted and are unworthy of confidence. I have a profound pity for the heart that can dictate such a speech as the gentleman has made this afternoon. And with that I dis- miss him and his speech" ‘p Interruption. “There are other things the gentleman would like to dismiss, but the people will not dismiss them,” interrupted Mr. John- son. There was a pause for a moment after this sally, which was followed by applause on the republican side. Everybody looked Mr. Breckinridge as he slowly replied: ‘I do not know what the gentleman meant or what he sald, but it shows the utter want of courtesy on the part of the gen- tleman that he should get up and interrupt me without permission. If he desires to in- terrupt me he knows that there is no inter- ruption I am not willing to accord to a gentleman who understands the proprieties and decencies of parliamentary life.” The democrats applauded this rebuke, and Mr. Breckinridge continued bis speech without further interruption. Rise and Fall of Parties. Mr. Breckinridge spoke with all of his old-time fervor and eloquence, and his re- marks were frequently interrupted by ap- Plause. In the course of his speech he said: I am not now speaking as a democrat against republicans. I am speaking as a citizen who has lived to see parties rise and pass into history. I am old enough to have seen the whig party when the spien- dors of its illustrious leader, like the beau- ties of the setting sun, made the entire country radiant with his glory, and I have seen it, like that setting sun, pass abso- lutely into night. I have seen the know- nothing party arise like a beautiful mirage of the desert, and for a moment seem to give rest and comfort to the weary trav- eler trying to find some remedy for an im- proper migration, and then fall absolutely, baselessly, like that mirage. I have seen the democratic party, insolent in its power, divide itself at Charleston and turn ov: the government to a minority, rend the country and go down in the flames and fire of a civil war; and I have seen the re- publican party for thirty years contro! the government of the country, a great, com- Pact and wonderfully powerful party pass ‘out of power.” + e_______ MARITIME INFORMATION.
