WHAT PAUPERS MUST ENDURE 'he Management of the Poor Farm to Be Fully Exposed. BEGINNING OF THE GOOD WORK, Things Observed at the Mahoney Establishment—Women Over- worked When They Need Rest—Bad Food., The Investigation. The investigation of John J. Mahoney and his wife, charged with incompetence and un- fitness for the positions of superintendent and matron of the county hospital and poor farm respectively, began before the honor- mble board of county commissioners yesterday moraing. All the members of the county board were present. Mr. O'Keefte presided, Tre Bee, as complainant, was represented by its attorneys and the reporter who inter. viewed the persons whose testimony has ‘been printed in Tur Bre. Mahoney aud his wife were present, also,with their attorneys. There was a small attendance of spectators. The defendants filed their answer, and in doing 80, the attorney for the defense com- plained that the complaint was too general n character, but that be would waive this f the attorney for the complainant would consent to the introduction of additional wit- mnesses in case points were touched upon by the complainant not specified in the com- plaint, ‘This was agreed to, and the examination of witnesses bogan. No Nurse Provided. Mrs, Kate Miken, the first witness, being duly sworn, testified as follows: My name is Kate Miken: have oeen acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Maboney for a short period; I ‘became acquainted with them in June, 1888, outat the poor farm; I was an inmate at that time for about six weeks; I was in the nursery ward. Q.—Were you sick while you were there? A.—Yes, sir, Q.—What was the matter—was it confine- ment} A.—Yes, sir; 1 had my child there. u(.'.},—-Wm': was it nursed you during that me? f A.—Wo had to take care of one another; we had no nurse girl to see after us, and wash, dress and bathe us. At the timo of the birth of my child Mrs, Matoney was there in_attendance—stepped in several times at the time. The doctor ‘was also there. There was no nurse there at the time. There was a nurse girl there, but she was not qualified for the place at that uql?, The first namo of the nurse girl vas Tillie; I do not know ner second name, except to bring their meals three times a day during the week and twice on Sunday. The nurse girl never came near me during the day, sll day. I was confined to my bed twelve days, and during that time the nurse did not come in the room atall.* A girl that was waiting there to be siek attended to my child. The child was atended to all right by one of the inmates, I had clothing for it yself, so I dqidn't need any clotl Eg for it I was the ouse a month before I was counfined. During that time I was washing in the ‘wash house most of the time—washing and Qx-onimzl clothes. Mrs, Mahoney set me to work there. She told me to go down and yash with the rest, and on one occasion she ot 80 cross she told me if I didu’t work I ouldn't stay there, and I went to work, ’his was before my confinement, I worked up to the time I took sick, before I was con- ned. I was in the lawln§ room at the time 1 took sick, sewing for the inmates, I sup- pose; and on that day there was no one, or 0 ono did scrub the back room, and Mr. ahoney asked me if I would do it, and I suid yes. That was in the forenoon, and in the afterncon I went to the kitchen. There 'were two or three other women in pregnancy there, but 1 am just answering for mysen. ‘There was several times our meals were not brought on time. Sometimes it was 9 o'clock when the girls came up, and sometimes 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and sometimes it was 8 o'clock before supper. Of course, it was not always so. On one occasion she brought up some cold milk, a piece of dry bread and some cold rice. I saj “Please may I have a piece of bread?” and she says, “ot cuurm,lzuuus“ro”undl got it, I do not know whoso fault it was; that is ot for me ta answar.

A.—The food was yery poor. Very often the meat was sour. I do not know whose fault it was, Icannotsay how many times it happened—sometimes very often, At sup- per there was nothing but dry bread, mo. {:\sn('s, sour apples or prunes, or according to what was fnseason, or something of that description. T did not get sufficient food. T did not complain about it, but I sent down some of the inmates sometimes to get me something to eat, and I always got if Cross-examination by Mr. Offutt: Q.—Whenever you asked for anything it ‘was always given to you? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—The last twelve days you were there was during your confinement and illness? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—You went from there to take a posi- tion as wet nursel A.—Yes, sir.

Some worked 1n the laundry, some one place and some another. Who was nurse up there? A.—Josio Peterson. Her duties were to nurse. She did Mra, Mahoney's work i her room, in the children's room, in the sitting- room, in tho hall and other places. She did nursing when she had time. The inmates, when she was not there, had to take care of each other. Q.—With regard to clothing, do you know whether the women inmates had night gowns! A.—That wns Mrs. Mahoney's complaint, there was no night gowns, after I went there: and I told her there iere plenty in the cupboard, because I knew that Mrs, Pierce had made plenty in the spring when Iwas there before, for I had worked for her, and they werd lying in the cupboard otten from the steam from the laundry. They were all moulded, and Mrs. Mahoney asked me to wash them. I washed them and gave some of them back, and some of them I left in the trunk in the old ladies' clothing room. Q.=What kind of clothing was it that was moulded? A.—Night-gowns, drawors, chomises and baby clothes. Q.—Did the inmates have night gownst X.—Some didn’t.

A.—Brand new. They were kept there, rubbers and mittens, in a box. The box was full of rubbers and mittens. Cross-examination, by Mr. Oftutt: Q.—How long have you borne the name of Mrs. Mary Mohr? A.—Since the 25th of last September, I was married then. Q.—What was your name when you were out there? A.—Mss Sennett. —When did you leave? —In March, 1887, as near as I can re- member. I lefv because I wanted to. Mrs, Mahoney and me¢ had a few words, and I told her right uway she could get somebody else to attend to that. Q.l—YJlI both got mad about the same time! A.—Yes, 1 was going to leave anyhow. 1 was going to tell hor that night or the next ny. Q.—She didn’t send you away?

So far as that is concerned, I never had any very friendly feelings towards her. z Q.—You were both angry at the time you oft A.—No, sir; I was not angry. fectly cool, as T am now. You'had a fuss? —No, sir; she asked me to tell her some- thing about the inmates, and I told her to get somebody else. Q—Didn't Mrs. Mahoney send you away for quarreling with the inmatos? A.—No, sir. . _ Qe W& g0 there and did uouhing but attend to the duties of that posi- tion? A.—That is what I was hired for, and that is what I done. It was the duty of the in- mates to make their beds. did not go through the wards and get the different arti- cles of laundry. I went in the crazy ward Monday to tell the man to come and help me wash and run the machine for me. “T went every Monday morning and told him to do that. T do not know why he didn’t come without me going after him. I just went in the crazy ward once a week. I do not re- member of going to any others, I had to seo that the clothes were mended and brought into the laundry; I never had to run after any clothes at all. The old lady I spoke of had been there for years, I think. I used to give her a bath every Saturday. She had vermin on her head, and she hud no comb and her hair was all matted, and I asked Mrs. Mahoney and she said she couldn’t let her have it. The other inmates combed their own hair. Their hair has not in as pad a condition as hers. Josie Peterson had charge of the ward in which tne old lady stayed. She was supposed to take charge of it. Q. You wero there under Pierce? A. Yes, sir; four or five months. I left there before he quit. Q. How did you know those night gowns wore theret A. | saw Mrs. Prerce make them. When Mrs. Mahoney spoke of it, I said there ought to be plenty in there. I eannot remember just when it was I told her, I do not know how many were there, but there was a lot of them. Sho wade thirty-five or forty. I do not know how many were left out of that lot. I did not count them, Q. Yousay you wanted to buy a pair of rubbers? A. Yes; sbe said she didn’t have any to it me. (‘J\. Where do you live now1 . On South Thira street, No. 1520, My gullund is shupping clerk at the lard re- nery. Q. 'Did you or not try to get a situation for him from Mr. Mahoney A. 1did, and did not get it, Rooms Were Filthy. Olive Olson testifled: I have visited the poor farm three or four times to see Chris- tine Melgert, a nurse girl out there, who was afriend of mine. I was there in the lying- in room one cold day last February in the afternoon, when an inmate came in with a baby and threw it on a bed not it's mother's. ‘The nurse, who is & good one, was in two or threctimes buv did not have time to look after the baby, as she had some sick women to take care of. The room was very cold and occupied by two sick women besides the cry- ln*lhcby whom I picked from the bed. The child had nothing on bat a calico slip and flannel skirt and its mothor called out from one of tho beds that at the foot of another one was & flauncl skirt. This I secured and wrapped aropud the baby and succeeded in warming the little thing up. 1 was in this room about half an hour. I did not go out there for the purpose of investigating the mauner of conducting the hospital, snd.I am and was a domestio in the house of Mrs. James, 1 told that lady what I bad seen at the poor farm on this oceasion, after returning home. 1 don't remomber seeing Mrs. Mnhouufi on this visit to the poor farm that I have been spoalking of. ‘- Covered With Vermin, Llewollyn E, A. Hughes testified: 1 have been living in the soldiers' home at Grand Island. I was fu the county poor Louso here a little over le’ur before Mr. Pierce went away, and during the timoe that Mr. and Mrs, Malioney was there up to the latter end of August, 1883, when Mr. Mahoney secured trausportation for me aud I weat to the home at Grand Island. I remember the old woman Marguret that died jdon’t remember the date of her death,but 1 did so, ’lk'd me (o cut har hair [ found it full of lice that were also crawling I was per- A THE OMAHA DAILY BEE.. TUESDAY, on her clothes and around the bed. Other inmates in_the sick.room noticed were in the same gondition. The orasies were also afflicted fn the same way, but the rooms and beds were kept as cloan as could be under the circumstances, with the lice around them pretty thick and they at one time got pretty thick down among the crazies. As to the character of the foud, sometimes it was protty fair and wholesome: at other times it was pretty rough, and seemed to be strong enough to help itself; never saw any rotten meat. Asto how often it occurred that the food was not good I could not say, for T did not keep particular track of it. Sometimes the clothing was pretty slim. The giving out of the clothes depended upon the inmates=most gencrally, I have seen some women working m short time before child birth in_the laundry, don’t know par- ticularly where the rest wero; could not say who put them to work; don’t know of any of the inmates ill-treating others in tho pres- ence of Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney, but have seen some of them ill treated there. I hit one old man with a pot_and was lectured for it by Mr. Mahoney. That wasshortly before I left for tho sokdiers’ home at Grand Island. When Mr. Pierce was there I asked him to give me a pair of shears to clip the hair of the dirty inmates and when Mr. Mahoney took hold I requested him to furnish mo with clippers. 1 was prompted to this by a desire to have something to do. Conldn't Eat the Meat. Wendell P. Cole stated that he was an {n- mate of the county poor house for eight or ten days. Hesaid: I saw a woman near pregnancy scrubbing the stairs leading from the back porch to the secoud story and I heard Mrs. Mahoney speak to this woman while at work, requesting her to scrub under the stairs which was ceiled, [ remember a woman that was working in the laundry, but I would not have known she was pregnant had Inot been so informed, and I under- atood that she was otherwise sick at the time. 1 heard Mrs. Mahoney make some re- mark to her at one time in regard to the amount of work she was doing. Mrs, Maho- ney accused her of beiag lazy and the woman returned that she was willing to work when sho was able to stand up. 1 romember the teasing of a crazy man—a paralytic or something of that kind. Person- ally T did not see any of the children _bother him. Ihave heard the paralytic av different times while I was away from the yard use profane language when he was being teased or provolked. For the first three days I was there 1 could not eat any of the meat that was placed on the table. The smell of it was enough. As 1o the condition of the rooms in the ward in which I was placed, it was fair, the floor was cloan, as was the bad, but the bed was in- habited by bedbugs. I remember on one occasion Mr, Mahoney Jerked tho hat oft this paralytic. The old man did not seem to relish it and indulged in strong language; but the hat was returned to its owner by Mr, Mahon ey. Mrs, Gallagher was the first ‘witness called in the afternoon. She had been hired as nurse, but nad done the work of domestic; had scon sick patients neglected: had soen a dying mau dragged from a wagon like a hog. Women about to be confined were over- worked and obliged to do heavy lifting. Christina Melgot had worked at the poor farm four weeks, beginning February 8, was hired to attend to the siok, but did not have timeto do s0. Had heard Mrs. Mahoney abuse the sick, calling them ‘“darn nasty things.”” Had scen pregnant women over- worlked. The last witness: of the afternoon was a young doctor whose testimony- had little bearing on the matter, as he had left the poor house shortly after the incoming of the Ma- honey’s. The investigation will be continued to-day. Rl Grass, garden and field. eeds. Wm. Sievers & Co., 16th and Calitornia. Al o ot ki A New Train.

A report is in circulation, which is based on good authority, to the effect that Thomas L. Kimball, general manager of the Union Pacific, is to sever his connection with that road to succeed W. H. Newman as third vice president of the olissouri Pacific. The re- imrv. also is to the effect that, in case Mr. Kimball concludes to change, the title of ccond vice president will be conferred upon him. In the event of this change, it is said C. S, Mellen, now general trafic manager, will succeed Mr. Kimball as general man- ager of the Union Pacific. When questioned concerning the matter, Mr. Kimball stated that he could give no de- cided information and that he was still at his post with the Union Pacific. When asked if he would accept the position with the Missouri Pacific if tendered him he stated that he would refrain from giving an expres- sion under the circumstances for the present. However, the report comes from a reliable sonrce and 1s generally thought to be cor- rect. ‘That Mr. Mellen will be his successor in case the change is made is considered a fore- gone conclusion, in as much as Mr. Mellen 15 second to moné as o railroad mau both as manager and trafic manipulator. It is thought that st the meetingof the dircc- torate of the Missouri Pacific, which will be hald in New York ina few days, matters in this respect will be more fully developed. The Grain Traflio. At present the grain trafiic is Light to and from all points, and especially so in Ne- braska. The sudden decline in prices, Lo gether with the advance in seaboard rates, which resulted trom the first meeting of the railroad presidents, put a damper on the western grain movement, The exhorbitant rail rates frendered an inactive} market, and the country buyers aud _shippers wero placed 1n such a predicament that to carry on tue trafic meant the risking of a vast amount of monoy in an uncertain enterprise, As a consequence the grain is now 1n the cribs of the raisors, where it will likely remain for some time. Conservitive dealers state that fully 85 per cent of the product of 1888 is still in the haads of the raiser. New Train Schedules.

At the time when Columbus started in search of the New World, nearly every man, woman and ohild in Europe insisted that there was no New World to discover. When he came back, crowned with success, a large propor- tion of these good people adhered to their theory: and if they were alive to- day many of them would doubtless insist that America had never been dis- covered at all, A man will give up anything in the world more readily than a pet. theory. For example, look at the individuals who still maintain that consum‘;)tion is incurable. Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured thousands upon thousands of cases, and' ‘will cure thousands more, but these 'pedple can’t give up their point. Nevertheless the ‘‘Discovery” will cure any, case of consumption, if taken in time.
