Grand Jury of Baltimore 3lak Start
ling I;closnr3S Concernlns Prac
tices Prevailing; In a Private House
or Refuse Sustained by Public Aid
Tremendous Sensation Kesults from
the Report
Baltimore, Jan. 11 In -a report sub
mitted hy the grand jury today the pres
ent management of the Female House of
Refuge is flayed mercilessly and a train
of horrors is exposed. The institution
is declared a place of horrors, where in
mates are outrageously treated and where
the innocent are morally corrupted and
ruined.
'"We find,"' says the jury, "that in
stead of finding shelter with good influ
ences and training and a clean, moral
atmosphere, those made to take refuge
within its Avails are subjected to treat
ment more barbarous than is now per
mitted in any institution devoted solely
to the punishment of crime.
"Our investigation developed" the fact
that the unfortunate' young women here
sequestered are not even (surrounded .by
the considerations of common humanity.
For trifling iufraetious of discipline they
are made to undergo positive torture.
Considered in connection with the added
intelligence and enlightenment of the
age,' these barbarities are no more re
pellent to the contemplation than was
'the iron maid of Nureniburg" an the days
when unfortunates were condemned to
its torturing and fatal embrace. For
such, infractions as we are all accus
tomed to bearing with in growing and
spirited youth, the unfortunate girls in
the refuge are condemned to the straight
jacket and the dark cell. Another favor
ite punitive measure is to incase the
head of the offender in a sort of hood
or muzzle with a gag attachment, and
then to bind the knees and ankles to
gether. This must be endured for hours,
the offender being speechless and help
less during its continuance.
'One brutal case of physical punish
ment which was brought to our attention
is worth noting here iu detail. For some
breach of discipline one of the inmates
was knocked prone upon the floor by
an infuriated officer, dragged by the
hair from room to room, flogged with a
carriage whip, and afterwards, as a part
of, the same punishment, was put in a
straight-jacket and locked iu a dark cell,
being kept there for several days on
very scant diet.
"Milder forms of punishment, not, how
ever, less harshly administered, consist
of flogging, drenching with water and
deprivation of meals. Corporal punish
ment ds also administered.
"One witness testified that at the time
of their reception fifty per cent of the
girls and young women committed to
the refuge are virtuous. Iu response to
a question as to the proportion of virtu
ous women at 'the time of release, this
witness said: 'There are practically
none.' The associations are such that
during detention every moral or virtuous
instinct is destroyed and the girls go
straight from the refuge to lead dissolute
lives. Such a condition is truly appal
ling. This testimony was. however, con
firmed by our inquiry, and we do not
doubt its accuracy.
"Pending legislative action, we urge
that further State and city aid he taken
from the institntaou, that tire proper
authorities take immediate steps to se
cure the release of girls now held by
it, and their commitment to more effi
ciently managed institutions, and that
our committing magistrates refrain
henceforth from condemning youthful
females to incarceration in this house of
horrors."
This is to he done pending the estab
lishment; of a State reformatory for un
fortunates. The house of refuge is a
private institution, but maintained by
appropriations by Baltimore city and
the State of Maryland. Incorrigible and
wayward girls are committed there. The
superintendent and matron, as well as
all oth&r employes, are women. The
disclosures have created a tremendous
sensation.

Shanghai, Jan. 11 Dissatisfaction
with the twelve articl?s contained in
the demand note .presented by the' pow
ers to the Chinese peace envoys seems
to be spreading among high officials,
who feel that peace is being purchased
too dearly.

M'BEE APPOINTED
VICE PRESIDENT
Norfolk. Va., Jan. 11. A circular
signed by President John Skeltou, Wil
liams of the Seaboard Air Line an
nouncing the acceptance of the resig
nation of Vice-President and . General
Manager St. John and the appointment
of Superintendent V.' E, McBee as acting
vice-president and general manager of
the system, was issued here this after
noon. The fact that the circular recites
that the order becomes effectiA-e upon
its promulgation, anticipating thei resig
nation of Mr. St. John, which was .to
become effective January 15, excited
much comment. It is considered as
confirmatory of various reports of sharp
differences between high officials pre
ceding the resignation of Mr. St. John.
President Williams' action is regarded
as extraordinary, and his apparent dis
courtesy to Mr. St. John is generally
deprecated.
DUN ON THE
STATE OF TRADE
New York, Jan. 11. Dun's review to
morriTW will say: '
Only in the textiles is special hesita
tion shown. Staple; products are firm,
iron and steel, prices.: are held without
trouble, boots aaid shoes and wool are
sttady, ami all with fair demand, so that
manufacturers are busy. In textiles,
however, the improvement which seemed
to be propiistd ,with the new year is
still delaydLajid ; in, cotton goods stocks
are growing insome quarrers, though
still not oppressively heavy anywhere.

the interest rates, apd will surely lead
to further heavy shipments from the
country. Foreign trade at this port fcr
the first week , of January was much
lighter than last year.
Failures for the week were 324 in the
United States, against 274 last year,
and oT in Canada, against 35 last year.
aTIORTIOX missionaries
They Claim that They Are Maklns Con
verts to Their Faith
New Orleans, Jan. 11. The Mormon
Mission Conference of the Southern
States is being held in New Orleans
with a large number of missionaries ia
attendance. The missionary representa
tives are from Ohio, Kentucky, Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. The missionaries reported
that good work had been done the past
year, especially in Mississippi, and over
1,000 converts to . the Mormon faith
have been 'made. They say that they
Mere still subjected to iusult. in tha
smaller towns and refused any buildings
in which to preach, and itrwas because
of this ill treatment that they held
their conference in New Orleans. The
missionaries always travel in pairs,
finding this safer, as a single missionary
is liable to assault from mob,? in back-'
woods districts.

Berlin, Jan. 11. A dispatch from Pe

Baron Von Der Goltz, chancellor of 'the

Bradstreel's Review
New York, Jan. ill. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:.
Business is still of a between-sea sons
character in most lines, but a .Livening up
of interests in several trades has e en
noted this week. Relatively bent rep n t s
come from the iron and steel, lumber,
leather and drug-trades, but there has
been some enlargement of wholesa'e t'is
tributive trade on spring account m tie?
South and central West. Spring trade
in dry-goods is just opening up, ind it
is noted that a heavy shipping niov -lr.t'it
of orders (is now prx-eed;ng at
the WiftSt. Soni gain in wool salts
is riled at Eastern markets, but weather
cem'.itioirs have not been favorable at
the East to business as a whole, except
as stimulating the retail trade in shoes
and rubber goods. A special feature is
the generally good tenor of reports as
'to collections from all Western and
Southern points, from which it is in
ferred that trade returns to retailers
must have been quite good. Cotton
has weakened on discouraged bull liquid
ation, due to larger receipts, while cotton
goods have been quiet on the advices of
a backward spring trade at the West,
Wool has been in rather better demand,
due to better buying' fiy manufacturers.
Business failures for the week were
322, against 208 last -week, 205 in 1000,
304 an 1800, 323 in 1808, and 478 in
1807.
ITIerry War Between Giants
Cleveland, O., Jan. 11. The war be
tween the steel trust and the Carnegie
Company is assuming bigger proportions
every day. For months each beligerent
has been watchnig the others move
ments and has had spies in the other's
camp. Carnegie's plan to establish a
plant at Conneaut was known to the
trust before the public had any inkling
of it,' and the trust, on its part, was.
planning a counter move. It now de
velops that the steel trust and the Pitts
burg Coal Company are behind the
recently incorporated Pittsburg,
Youngstown & Cleveland Railroad Co.
The building of this road is to another
weapon in the battle of millions. The
American Steel and AVire Company of
Cleveland is a part of the steel trust.
The new road will extend from Pitts
burg to Willoughby. Great docks will be
built on the lake near the latter place,
a tine harbor will be made near Men

age plant built.
