-~ AAY'S HEARING IS RESUMED Taking of Testimony in the Investigation of the Lincoln Asylum Management. WITNESSES FROM NORFOLK TESTIFY Wirst Evidence Against the ¥ x-Superintend- ent in Given by Two Former Attendants ~Some De! of Hospital Treat- ment Brought Out, LINCOLN tigation of Dr. May 13.—(Special)—The inves- John T. Hay before Governor Holeomb was resumed this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The injunction case in the district court, restralning Dr. L. J. Abbott from in terfering with Dr. Hay In his duties at the Lincoln Insane Hospital, which was set for the 10th inst, has been postponed by stipula- tion between Attorneys Webster and Hol- beck until the 17th inst. Evidence this after- noon was quite favorable to the cause of Dr. Abbott, and fs practically the first In this line which has been adduced. J. A. Weart, night watehman at the folk Insane asylum, was examined by ernor Holcomb. Weart had been an employe at the Lincoln hospital. He testified that one Sawyer, an attendant, had the reputation of being exceedingly rough in his treatment of patients. This wa the case with Morland, anoth attendant. Governor Hol- comb asked witness what he understood by rough treatment of patients. Weart replied that it was such as was lculated to mak the patients fear him and remember his brutality. Morland had been an employe at the asylum for five or six years. The duties of witness at the Norfolk asylum were to take care of patlents in the third ward When ordered to do so he administered hy- podermic injections. At present Dr. Green prepared all the medicine administered to patients. Cross-examined by General Webster, wit- ness sald the sedatives given to patients were in the form of tablets. Asked it he could prepare the tablets, replied that he could not, but could make the solution in proper form to administer to patients. Attendant Sawyer had been discharged immediately following the Injury to Patfent Bruhle. Morland had been let ‘out for political talk during Gov- ernor's Boyd's term of office. USED POWERFUL NARCOTI Mrs. J. A. Weart, wife of the preceding witness, testified that she had beeen a nurse at the Lincoln hospital during a portion of Dr. Hay's incumbency. Was acquainted with the duties of the night watches at the hospital. Was not familiar with the propor- tlons of medicine administered to patients. Knew that bromides were used in some of the violent wards, Knew of the accident in which a patient, Mrs, Brown, had her jaw severefy injured. ‘Dr. Hay and Dr. Manary had been called at the time and found that the jaw had been dislocated while an attempt was being made to administer medicine Witness knew Mrs. Seth P. Mobley while the latter was a patient. Sald she had queer idas At the Norfolk asylum, where witness was at present employed, Dr. Green had full charge of the medicines. Witness never gave medicine except on the order of Dr. reen. Cross-examined by General Webster, wit- ness said Mrs. Brown had been injured by the use of a tube in her mouth. For two days witness had thought patient was suffer- ing from the toothache. Dr. Lane's attention had been called to the dislocation of Mrs. Brown's jaw. Mrs. Brown had be:n a vio- lent patient. A patient by the name of Parotte had dled from an overdose of paralde- hyde. This latter drug she had never seen used In the Norfolk hospital. Dr. Lane had glven her night orders verbally whenever she went on watch On_redirect by Governor Holcomb witness said that the effect of paraldehyde on patients was to causs & stupor which lasted for three or four days, after which they again became violent. No other witnesses were examined at this session, and It was adjourned until tomor- Tow. It is expected that a number of Lincoln physicians will be called then to testify as experts regarding the peculiar practice of administering paraldehyde as a medicine. It i claimed by high medical authority that a prescription containing paraldehyde has never been put up by any pharmacists in the city, and that its use has been confined exclusively to the asylum by Dr. Hay. It is also stated that the testimony of an ex-attendant at the asylum will be produced who will swear that Bruhl's jaw was broken by a blow of a fist delivered by an attendant, and that the man died from the effects of the blow and lack of prompt medical attendance. WAS ENTITLED TO HIS MONEY. It has just transpired that Willam A, Carter of the Omaha insurance firm of Ford & Carter came to this city on Saturday last and sought out D. (. Presgrave at the Boyd hotel, where he demanded an accounting for insuranca commissions on policies amounting to some $70,000, written for Lincoln partic in an accident and life company. He subs quently caused the arrest of Presgrave on a charge of embezzling $29.75. The latter secured bail and was releaszd for hearing this morning. It appears from his testimony that there was a dispute between the parties as to the amount he was entitled to as an agent and the case was dismiss:d. Carter claims that under a verbal contract Pres- grave was to remit to his employers every cent he took in as soon ag it was collected and that he was to receive his proportion back ter th> $6 a week had been deducted. At a meeting held Saturday afternooon at Bohanan's hall the Lancaster old settlers elected officers for the ensuing yedar and de- cided to hold their annual picnic on June 13, at a place to ba decided upon by a com- mittee chosen for this purpose.

DAMAGE VE Reports from Over the State Not of an Alarming Charactor, ASHLAND, Neb., May 13.—(Speclal.) FROST LIMITED ‘The Ashland correspondent today interviewed several representative farmers on the ex- tent of the damage of the recent frosts. As a rule, the frost was of no material damage. In low places it had nipped the corn down some, but only a small per cent of it will have to be replanted. In some cases, how- ever, there were patches of from one to twenty acres that were totally destroyed. As to the fruit, the majority of the farmers thought that most of the apple crop, like the corn, might be destroyed in some places, but they were not by any means lost. Never were the farmers in better spirits than they are now in Saunders county. SHELBY, Nel May 13.—(Special)—A heavy frost did much damage to tender plants Saturday night. Fruit was not in- jured much, as it was so far advanced. Corn was not hurt, except on low lands. David Beebe had a row of water melons extend- g through what had formerly been a basin. The plants were killed by the frost in the central part of the row, while those on the higher land at the ends were unin- Jured. ST. PAUL, Neb., May 13.—(Speclal)— There was some frost here yesterday, as well as this morning, hurting garden vegetation to some extent, and early corn in low places. The harm done is not general or very ex- tensivi LYONS, Neb. . May 13.—(Special)—A Bee representative took a long drive into the country today and found that little or no damage had been done to the crops. One or two fields of corn showed the effects of frost. John Spire's large orchard was visited and a careful examination made of the different kinds of fruit and in no case was the fruit found damaged .Several in town report their cherries injured. Garden vegetables suffered most, beans, potatoes and tomatoes being injured considerably. The crop prospect could not be more promising. CEDAR RAPIDS, May 13 gram.)—Another heavy frost is expected here tonight. The damage to fruit cannot be esti- mated. It is not believed that apples and cherries have suffered, but grapes, raspber- ries, strawberries and plums have nearly all been killed, except in the highest places. Field crops have so far suffered very little. North of here much damage has been done.

WASHINGTON, May 13.—A phase of the Important pending question between Engand and Venezuela, in which the United States has intervened to ask arbitration, Is In- volved in the demand of the State depart- ment for the resignation of United Minister Hazelton of Venezuela on serious charges made by Admiral Meade. Minister Hazelton regards the charges as nspired by pique, and as an evidnece of this he cites political representations of a direct and in- direct character, by which he says Admiral Meade sought to impress the Venezuelan government and people with the visit of the United States squadron as something more than a courtesy and involved political as- surances that the United States was about to lend the strength of its navy to maintain Venezuela against Great Britain. The .min- ister says this impression characterized all the admiral's actions while the United States fleet was in Venezuelan waters. Government officials who were well formed of the pacific character of the visit were surprised that the impression should be given that there was a political character in the visit. Mr. Hazelton says this course aroused a decided feeling of disapproval | among government authorities. They did not, he says, care to be patronized when, as | they understood the facts, the visit of the flect was an incident to its being in south- | ern waters, and was not intended as an ev- | idence of the position of the United States on the international questions involved. The minister today referred to Admiral Meade's address as something more than an expre sion of the usual official courtesfes, and de- clares it conveyed the general impression | that the United States sailors were there as an evidence of the political policy of the Jnited States. It was stated at the white house today the | action taken In the case of Minister Hazel- ton would not be recalled, and that Mr. Ha- | zelton would not return to Venezuela as minister of the United States. HAVE SETTLED FATE State He Wil States in- | WHERE MASTERS ARE ROBBED Excessive on American Veasels at the Port of Barcclonn. WASHINGTON, May 13.—Consul General Bowen at Barcelona, Spain, has furnished the Department of State some information rela- tive to the difficdlties incurred by shipmasters in that port. He says that comparatively few American ships enter Barcelona, and the masters of those who do are surprised at the bills that are presented to them, and, adds Mr. Bowen, “they seem to have good reason to complain.” The last vessel that was in port was a vessel laden with cauned corn, and, Mr. Bowen says, that as the bill presented was about an a which he transmits to the department. pesota, in which the charges are made 193-10 American cents, less 10 per change, or 17 4-10 American cents, The larg- est items in the bill are for harbor ducs on the amount of cargo delivered at 4% pesetas per ton, 9,186.48 pesetas and discharged cargo 3,131.75 pesetas, and clearing fees 300 pesetas. There are also charges in smaller amounts for translating bills of lading and manifests, pilotage in and out of the harbor, anchor boat, moorings for running lines, clearing visit, permits, sundries and clearing, duty on provisions and bill of health, which bring the whole amount up to 13,088.49 pesetas. Mr. Brown adds: “In no port in Burope are the shipping masters or agents so per- verse. They get men to desert, and then charge, altogether, about $25 for each mar they bring from 'Marseilles to fill the de- serier’s place. The result is the masters are always In trouble here, and not infrequently are kept three or four days after they are ready to clear because they are shorthanded, These evile are difficult to remedy, but they should be known, and of course when evi- dence is obtainable of wrong doing T am al- ways ready to make a proper complaint to the authorities. No complaints are made about the shipchandlers.” —— The elaborate plant of Price’s Cream Bak- ing Powder—the largest in existence—shows what merit can achieve. rage one he made a copy of it The e ———— Tovalids Show Little Chango.

He was slightly uneasy during the night. Admiral Almy passed a comfortable night. His condition remained unchanged.

WASHINGTON, May, 13.—~An arrangement has been effected between the United States and Great Britain {n which October s set as the time for the' dssembling at Washing- ton of a commissidn th negotiate a treaty to claims of sealéth on account of Bering sea selzures. Delegates will come from Can- a to meet the authorities here. The report coming from Victoria that the British government had vacated the sealing regulations because of the non-payment by the United States of the $425,000 claimed for seizures is £ald to be due to misapprehen sfon. It is learned that the report from Vic- torla, B, C., Is based upon a misunderstand- ing of the ‘word “sealing,” which does not apply to the seal animals, but to the locks or seals by which implements used in sealing are locked up during the closed seaso Last year a rule was made that sealers to Japan or other proximats territory where a British consul or other THE TRACK up the ammunition, guns, etc., used in seal- Ing. Vessels having arms thus sealed up were allowed to remain in Bering sea during the closed season. They were mot subject to search and seizure, as the seal on their | arms was a guarantce that they were not capturing fur-bearing animals. But the Brit- ish admiralty has found that this rule Is impracticable. In one case a shipmaster con- cealed arms and used them in the closed season, although he had another set of arms sealed up as a guarantee against inspection. Owing to these objections the British author- ities have determined to abolish this one rule. but not all of them, and notice to that effect has beeu given. It is sald, however, that this will not permit Britist ships to poach during the closed season. The law against this on the British statute books is the same that was adopted by the Paris court of arbitra- tion. British naval vessels will patrol the sea as usual and the list of these patrol ships is daily expected. JACKSON VISIIS THE PRESIDENT.

May Be a Lively ftight for the Trust Distillerles. PEORIA, May 13.—A gentleman promi- nently identified with the distilling interests and on friendly terms with Receiver MeNulta says the decislon is expected daily by the supreme court in the quo warranto case, and the Distilling and Cattlefeeding company is not a legal corpora- tion then it would be a question whom the distilleries belong to. They might be claimed by former owners, although they were paid in full outright for the houses, while the land was leased to the company. In such emergency it is wise to have the property guarded by officers of the court, and this is the reason, the gentleman thought, why deputy marshals were appointed. When Jacob Weolner, ex-distiller, wus ac- cused Jocosely of being the dynamiter, he replied: I want my property back. I do not want it destroyed. Samuel Wooluer, jr., vice president of the Independent Atlas’ distillery, says: “No- body can take forcible possession of the ware- houscs because they are virtually the prop- erty of the government. Powers of attorney have been given General McNulta to take all the goods out. The only privilege he cannot have is that of shipping them in bond, for the reason that they could remain in bond eight years and then some one else could be given power of attoruey to withdaw them, and the present suretfes will not consent to remain llable for taxes for eight yeaurs." The Atlas is now selling spirit gallon, while eGneral McNulta's $1.25%. NEW YORK, May 13.—A report is current on Wall street that ex-President J. B.

Atter Mr. Strathman had testified he took ccasion to slightly roast the council for king him away from the bedside of a sick :hild and imposing a fine for contempt. Frank Thompson's case was taken up and Paddy Murray was placed on the stand. Mur- ray admitted that he had signed the Thomp- son petition, but did not own any real estate in the First ward.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.—Arthur Dowe is engaged In missionary work for the pur- pose of re-establishing a colony of Shakers on the Pacific const. It is proposed to erect a church here to be an exact copy of the one now being used by the community at East Canterbury, N. H., having a seating capacity of several hundred and apartments sufficient to accommodate at least 100 people. When the work on the coa progressed a little further a few prominent eastern Shaker lead will_come to San Francisco and begin actively the work of establishing the church or community. Several thousand acres of land have been purchased lately in Osceola county, Florida, and a building constructed for 150 persons. They will try one of the hot summers there before making extensive improvements. The probabilities are, how ever, that this community will come to Cali- fornia on account of the excessive heat of Florida. Ia Our Great Grandfatker’s Time, big bulky pills were in general use.
