PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—The result of the investigation of the committee on lunacy of the state board of charity into charges of gross mismanagement made against the managers of the State Insane hospital at Harrisburg has been made public. The committee finds the charges of mismanagement and cruelty are sub- stantially true. Patients were assaulted by attendants involving serious bodily harm, and al— though the facts were known to the first assistant physician, Dr. Milton U. Ger- hard, and the superintendent, Dr. J. C. Gerhard, they failed to dismiss the offend- ing attendants or to notify the committee on lunacy, so that legal steps might be taken. The committee had pvéf that the system of keeping the liospiczii books was imperfect. The committee finds the medical control of the hospital lax and inefficient; that the regulations imposed by the lunacy law have been repeatedly violated; that-bar- barous and cruel practices upon patients by attendants have gone unreported and unpunished, and that inefficient care has. been bestowed in the selection and train- 'ing of attendants. The report recommends a radical change in the medical staff of the male depart- ment, the selection of a new medical su- perintendent and first assistant physician, and the prompt removal of all attendants who have been guilty of cruelty to insane persons. The report and recommendation were submitted to Governor Pattison, who approved them. Farmers to Build Grain Elevators. ST. PAUL, Sept. 10. —The grangers have determined to form a combination in their own interests, with a capital of $100,000, under the title of the Grain Growers’ asso- ciation, to fight the elevator companies. The farmers will erect and operate their own elevators in opposition to the pres- ent monopolistic company. This means a bitter'war between the elevator companies and the farmers. Killed His Sweetheart and Himself. BLOOMINGTON, 1115., Sept. 10,—Dr. Charles E. Ballard murdered beautiful Bertha Icon and then killed himself. He was madly in love with the girl, who returned his affection, but his constant nagging for an immediate marriage caused her to break the engagement. Hence the fear- ful deed. ' The Gas Turned On. TOLEDO, Sept. 10.-James Boyd and J. C. Elsass, of Waynesburg, Stark county, 0., were found asphyxiated in a room in the Hotel J efierson, in this city. Boyd was dead when found, but Elsass will probably recover. It is a case of careless turning on or blowing out the gas. An Escaped Life Convict Caught. SING SING, N.

France’s Eur-President Passes Away at the Age of Eighty-four. AN EVENTFUL CAREER HIS. It Began with the Insurrection Which Caused the Abdication of Charles K. Imprisoned by Napoleon and Twice Elected President. PARIS, Sept. 10.—M. Grevy, err-president of the French republic, died Wednesday. The death of M. Grevy was the result of an attack of congestion of the lungs from which he had been suffering for four days. Francois Paul Jules Grevy was a. native Mont St. Vaudrez, in the J ura. He was born in 1807, on Aug. 15. The fu- t u r e statesman was sent to the College of Polig- ny, and afterward to Paris, where he studied law, and was in due course admitted an advo- cate. He was a student in the Paris law schools when the revolution of 1830 broke out, and although but seventeen years of age he fought in the war of the insurrectionists, and did not lay down his musket until Charles X abdicated. He was the first to force his way into the barracks of the Rue de Baby" lon. Having finished his studies, M. Grevy was admitted to the bar, and soon became prominent by defending people who were prosecuted for holding liberal opinions under the regime of Louis Philippe. His Election as President. His objections to the policy of Louis N a- poleon brought him into trouble when the latter assumed the government as empe ror in 1851. As a. suspected person M. Grevy was arrested and for three weeks lodged in the state prison at Mazas, 01 which Napoleon himself had once been an occupant. On his release he was pro- hibited from becoming a candidate at the elections which were then about to be held. It was not until the amnesty 01 1869 that he could hold ofiiee, when he was again enthusiastically returned as a mem— ber for the Jura. He was an Opposition member of the corps legislatif when the war with Germany broke out, and he op- posed that disastrous movement with all his strength. In the reconstruction days after the Franco-German war he was an ardent supporter of M. Thiers. He was elected president of the national assembly and continued to hold the office until 1874 He was re—elected in 1877, but resigned in 1879 to assume the duties of president oi the republic, to which position he was elected for seven years. Ito-elected and Resigned. President Grevy was re—elected prisidenl in 1886, but resigned in 1887, on account 01 the notorious Wilson scandal in which M. Grevy’s son-in-law was proved to have been connected with the sale of state deco- rations, the revelations reacting on the Elysee with most damaging efiect. In this matter M. Grevy was known to be quite beyond any charge, but his desire to shield his family and his disinclination to act vigorously caused him to be ~ much blamed. Since that ex-President Grevy has lived the quiet life of a country gen- tleman, of which he was always fond, and has not meddled in politics in any way At his death, at the age of eighty-four, he was a. man of the past. M. JULES GREV’Y. Cannibalism Suspected in Russia. ODESSA, Sept. 10.—From Kiefl’ comes the account of a horrible tragedy. A Jew named Kaplan, driven to desperation by an order to leave Russia, he having been deprived of a comfortable business by former decrees, first shot his wife, and then, one by one, his five children. He afterward killed himself. Kaplan left a note stating the motive for the crimes, which was his desire to save his family from otherwise inevitable misery. From other parts of Russia. comes news of trag- edies attendant on the failure of the har- vest and the consequent suffering and struggle for existence. While no cases of cannibalism have been reported, there have been‘s‘everal cases OI mysterious disappearanR: that are at tributed to suspected cannibalism, and in Bessarabia the police are carefully watch 'ing for evidence against persons undei suspicion. Many suicides are stated to have occurred among the peasantry, who, owing to a strong religious feeling, have been, as a- rule, slow to commit this not There is nothing reassuring-in Russian advices, and the prospect for the winter is . too terrible to contemplate. Only the Queen Worthy. LONDON, Sept. 10.—The refusal of the trades congress committee to propose a toast that would include the Prince 01 Wales is regarded here as an echo of the widespread noncomformist sentiment, which has set a mark of condemnation on the social life of the prince. ' The discus sion in the committee of arrangements is said to have been very pointed, and took in the whole range of the royal brood OI Queen Victoria. L. One delegate boldly asserted that the family of the queen, apart from herself, had no claim whatever on the country, and that it was an outrage that the people should be expected to contribute to then support. The long list of royal descend- ants was canvassed in vain for a name thal the workingmen could consistently harm) by special mention at their banquet, bui not one could be found worthy on his own account of any such testimonial. The baccarat trial was gone over, and alto- gether it was a discussion to make the ears of roy. lty tingle. The conclusion was reached that none should be honored but the queen. ' ' Kiamil Pasha a Prisoner. LONDON, Sept. 10,—A dispatch from Gen- stantinople confirms the report that Ki. amil Pasha, the recently deposed grand vizier, is a virtual prisoner in his own house, and that he is not allowed to emerge therefrom or to receive any vis itors. Sir William White, British embassadm at Constantinople, a few days ago sent 5 strong note to the porte demanding at apology for the indignities offered to Brit ish merchant vessels in the Dardanelles.
