The following sensational statements have been furnished the DAILY GAZETTE as the result of a long and careful de- tective piece of work, carried on by certain Grand Army men who believed that great wrongs were being perpetra- ted by Dr. Munson, both as regards his treatment of the inmates and as to his personal honesty in the business con- duct of the affairs of the Home. ‘We held the statement back, because of its seriously incriminating character, until We could investigate some of the more serious charges. Enough has come to - our knowledge to show that beyond a doubt, great abuses did exist there un- I der Dr; Munson’s administration and that the Executive Board had legal knowledge of some of them, and on ac: counted for, and the immense and cost- ly black walnut case," which once con- tained them, was sold to a Five Mile River carpenter for the paltry sum of ‘55 which, so far as can be learned, went into the pocket of the Salesman; Many of the foregoing charges were sworn to .. before the recent court of inquiry held in Stamford, different witnesses testi- ... , 7 . count of his gross, if not dishonest mis- and notified his fifth man, after wh1ch . ‘ management, he was driven from the Institution.

Selleck andthe editor of the DAILY GAZETTE have been invited and are quite desir- ous to join the party if they can ar- range their active business aflairs so as ‘ to be absent the twelve weeks required for the trip. Hill has filled Wilson’s head full of a great real estate boom in Jerusalem now just starting up in pros- pect of the restoration of the losttribes of Israel and the return of all the Jews of the earth to that city.

' That if the weather bureau were not officially responsible for the statement that this has been one of the coolest? July’s on record. we should feel dis. posed to challenge its accuracy. That dog days come in the latter part of this week according to the almanac, but almost any day this week would do for a starter. That themodelnewspaper of the fu- ture will have no editorials, it will be of a convenient form, printed in legi- ble type; it will dismiss the two old fashioned and hackneyed topics of pol- itics and crime in the fewest possible words, and it will devote itsspace to the truly important doings of respecta- ble men and women and give them the information necessary for their bodily and mentaliwelfare. It will have ad- ‘vertisements, because: advertisements are news, but its reading matter will treat of decent people, not of criminals, adventurers, gamblers, dog and chick- en fights and pugilists.

They were the property of the State, and it is certain that the State ,- has, never authorized the. sale, gift or removal of said property from the in- stitution. But how could such robbery be perpetrated unknown to the State? Easily enough : The officials. compris- ing the Executive Board have charge of the Heine, and the State is solely de- pendent upon thisBoard’s official state'- , ments , as to, what transpires at the Home; The Executive Board,therefore, are responsible for and should certainly know what has become of the missing property, .
