Dui.UTir , Minn. , Aug. 0. ( Special Tele
gram to TIIK Br.K.J Duluth kept up her
string of victories today by defeating the
Llnoolns , moro by good luck and thn errors
of the statesmen and by hlttlnjr Ehrot. The
pitching honors were about equally divided
between Inkj nnd Ebrot , each being touched
up for n total of ton bases. Thu former gave
seven bases on balls and hit n batsman and
had two bad wild pitches against him , but
bo struck out. moro mon than Ehrot and diet
bettor work nt critical points. Ehrot had
poor support. The visitors did some very
ragged Holding. In the first Stafford dropped
nn easy lly , nnd in the second fumbles ,
muffs and a wild throw lot in three runs on
one hit.
In the olchth Lincoln had two chances to
put out Inks after he had got. to first on nhlt ,
out both times failed through orrors. Lin
coln was able to lind Inks only in the second
and ninth. Dtiluth's hits wuro generally
lucky ones. Tbo homo team played a
splendid gnmo in the Held. O'llourko
especially distinguishing himself. MoMnhon
split his finger in the third and had to retire
from the game , Baldwin tuning bis plnco.
Umpire Emslio was presented with a hand
some bouquet started by Dtilulh admirers ,
lie has boon here ever since the Duluth .sea

LINCOLN , Neb , , Aug. G. [ Special to TUB
Br.K. ] At u special mooting this evening the
board of public luniU atut buildings adopted
and slgnid their findings on the Investigation
of the llnsUng.s hospital for the Insane ai
prepared by the ottornoy gononil. It does
not embody , but tnoroly refers to the report
cf the uxpurt accountant who examined tlio
books of the Institution , which ropoi't will bo
attached to the board's findings and trans-
mlttid to Governor Th : ycr. The report b
very long and damaging , showing numerous
Irregularities and the grossest carelessness In
the financial records of the hospital. The
board has made no recommendation to the
Kovornor , believing that the simple statement
of it * findings , backed by nearly four hun
dred paces of testimony , Is sulllclent. The
members of the board feel that tlio results
have justlflcd the investigation. They are
willing to roU on their report and lot the
governor take the responsibility of further
action. Following are Iho board's findings :
LINCOLN , Nob. , Ann. n. Hon. .Tolin t M.
Thayur , ( iovernor of tlio Htato of Nebraska :
Sir--Tlio board of public lands and Imlldlnes
respectfully hogs leave to report that uarlv In
tlio month of Juno , ism , charges of a serious
nature , suvorely rolloolliiK upon tlm iiinnnKo-
niunt of the asylum for the Incuralilo Insanu
lit Hustings , Nob. , were made to this bo.ird.
Tlio charges were as follows :
1. Irregularities , v/hlol. wore alleged to have
occurred In the financial management of the
asylum.
s. Neglect and misconduct on the partof the
ofllcori and employs of said Institution
toward tlm patients committed to their
charge.
3. Conduct unbecoming ofllc rs and detri
ment : t ! to the food management and good
numo of said Institution.
Wo have inudo as careful and as
thorough an Investigation of these
several charges as was possible , under
o.xlillui : circumstances , and herewith wo
transmit to yon nil of the evidence which we
havn taken , which you will observe was com
menced on tho-Glh dtiv of June , ( Mil , and was
endu.l on the 5th day of August. 1831.
A hrlof history of the matter. In our opin
ion , will not ho out of place , June H , 1SD1 , Hon.
John O. Allen , sec-rotary of slate , made the
discovery that certain practices hud been In
dulged In by the olllcors In charge of the asy
lum for the Incurable Insane at Hastings.
Moh. , viz ! Dr. K. 11. Test , superintendent , and
.1. W. li Ivorlnghoiisp. steward. In the matter
of drawing money from the slate ostensibly
for the institution , on vouchers duly certified
to by tlioin as just and correct , which were
Irregular and apparently fraudulent. These
several vouchers wore drawn by the stew
ard , certified by the superintendent ,
and the money represented by them , was
regularly drawn'froin theslato treasury. At
once , upon Mich' ' illieovery. Secretary Allen
communicated the Hhovo facts to this board.
Tbo hoard dlrectod'hlm ' to communicate with
Steward MvorlnphcMlso regarding the matter ,
In order that an opportunity for an explana
tion of the transaction might ho had. In pur
suance of such direction , there was addressed
to Steward Llvcr'tngbouso , on Juno U , 1801 , by
Secretary Allen ifcommunlcAtJou of which
the following Is i ) copy :

to November 1 , 1801. Upon a voucher pre
sented by voiirsolf to this board , under date
of March III , I lind that you have charged the
state JU12.50 , for which 3'ou received your war
rant In duo time , being for services as steward
from October 1 to April 1 , which amount Is
J100 more' than you are entitled to , or
rather you have charged the state , twice for
your services during the month of October.
1 would suirgeat to you the advisability of
appearing before the board of public lunds
and buildings at an early date to explain to
Its satisfaction these two transactions.
Awaiting a reply from you , I remain , yours
truly , JOIINU. AM.KN.
"Secretary of State. "
On Juno 13 following , this board , through
Secretary Allen , received from Mr. fjlvoring-
house two replies to the above communica
tion , each of which was written on the same
day , of which the following are copies :
IlAtfTiMiH , Nob. , Juno I.'lth , Ib9l , J. it. Allen ,
Dear Sir : I ask this personal fiivor of you
that you con.o out. will see our'books , and
allow mo In justice' to mysulf to show the
matter to you. and tbat you do not make Iho
matter public until you satisfy yourself about
tlio facts ; these matters given to the public ,
however Innocent I may bo. or excusable the
error , no explanation could ho made to the
public that would roach the distance the first
ronort would. The nurty that has been pur
suing mo for two years. tbat I think Is doing
this , will stop short of nothing to ruin me.
Would deem It a great favor If you would

"President of Hoard of Public Lands and
Ituildlugs. "
Un thoSth day of August , 1801. wo received
from Mr. Lcavltt , the accountant , his pre
liminary report , which Is herewith trans
mitted. The testimony In this case Is exceed
ingly voluminous , and covers over three hun
dred pages of closely trypowritton matter ,
which , with the exhibits , make It ciulte a for
midable ] undertaking to attempt to be
come famlllur with , but the Interests of
the stato. as well as the parties under
Investigation , seemed to demand at our hands
the most searching examination. Section T ,
article" , chaptersof ; ) the compiled statutes
of the slate of Nebraska provides as follows :
"It shall be the duty of the board ( referring
to .he board of public lands and buildings )
to take cognizance of all charges or com
plaints made against the a.nd public officers ,
and at a regular meeting to give an Impartial
hearing to such chaigcs and the defense
against them. If any , and report the charges ,
evidence and their conclusions In the matter
to the governor within six days after the de
termination of such Investigation. " While
section 11 of the same article and chapter
provides as follows : "The president shall
nave the power to call the board together In
special meeting If , In his judgment , the public
good requires the same lo bo done for any pur
pose contemplated In this act , and such call
shall bo by written notice , stating the pur
pose of meeting , which notice shall be deliv
ered to each momborof the board. "
Under the provisions of section 7 , It will bo
observed that It Is made the. duty of the
board , not only to report to your excellency
the evidence that has been tatcon , but our
conclusions as well.
After a careful hearing and on due con
sideration of all the evidence , wo have unani
mously arrived at the following conclusions :
1. That the vouchers drawn by Steward
Llveringhouse , and which were duly certified
to by Dr. Test , the superintendent , aj being
just ami correct , to the following named per
sons , wore drawn and certified to by those
olllcors. they well knowing that the state was
not Indebted to any of those persons In any
sum whatever , they being either duplication
of other vouchers or else purporting to bo
drawn for wages for employes , when In fact
no such employe was lu the service of the
state , the warrant In payment of which was
drawn by the steward. That Is to say ; Kelley ,

MHS | Uulgor , $ ) . ' . : : > ; Marvin , ft ! : ! : Ularey. * 15 ;
KobliiMm.il ! ) ; making a total of $ .VSI.i ; : ; that
none of these amounts wore duo any
of tlm.so parties , and that Ihoy wore
drawn by thostowi > rd , after having been duly
certified to as correct by the superintendent
as above stated ; tlmttho steward andsuper :
intendent divide.I iho amounts up Into these
.several small sums for the admitted purpose
of deceiving ibis board , and In order to have
Iho fact of their duplication escape their no
tice , fearing , as they claim , If the full amount
had boon placed In one voucher , or to one
person , the board would delect thu scheme
and refuse to permit the money to be drawn
thereon.
It Is perhaps only fair to say , however , that
the steward claims th it ho drew these fraud
ulent vouchers with the knowledge and con
sent of the superintendent , Cor HID purpose of
drawing out of the stale treasury till of Iho
money that had boon appropriated for the use
of that Institution for that year , and
tbat lie deposited the samu lu the
bank of Hastings with the hahince of the
pay roll , expenses etc. , payableto ! \V \
Llvorlnghouse , steward , and that he did so
draw siid , money , so as to piovout any part of
the money which the prior legislature had
appropriated to that Institution from laps
ing. The constant Ion , however , of the state
of Nebraska , section " ' ' , article'I , provloos as
follows : "No allowance shall bo made for the
Incidental expenses of any state olllcor.
except the same be made by general appro
priation , und upon an account specifying
each Item. No money .shall be drawn from
the treasury except In pursuance of a spcclllo
ipproprlation made by law , an I on the prc-
eiilailon of a warrant Issue , ! by the auditor
thereon , and no money xlinlt ho diverted from
any appropriation midoforany purpose , or
Laken from any fund whatever , either by
joint or sep irate resolution. "
Hence , wo conclude In any event tin ) action
if the superintendent and steward was
llu-al , contrary to the constitution and
unwarranted by law , and the practice , If
ndult'cd In : could only result disastrously.
Wo further lind that no separate fund , known
iy the olllcors of this institution as the "eash
Tu ml" has been koutby t horn nt thu ha UK , where
Ihoy have kept the funds of the Institution ,
urn that the Individual funds of J. W. Uvur-
nghoiisonnd thu moneys belonging to the
stale have been Indiscriminately mingled and
< opl together lu iho bank lu the name of J.
W. Llveringhouse , steward , and have been
Irawn upon by him at will.
J. Wo further find from the evidence that
the said ollleers of the asylum have traf-
luked In the goods of the stale provided for
: lm use of the patients and have sold tlm biime
lo employes , receiving Iho money therefor ,
iml for a part of which they have falloJ 10 nu

mt was deliberately and wilfully done.
4. The report of Mr. T. H. l.oavltl , which N
Mihjolno I , shows a molt lamentable condition
if thi ) books and biulnoin methods of the in
stitution. Not only has there been an absu-
itte want of care and business melho'l , but
.hu book * appear to be In inch n condition
that no parson , whntornr may ho hhouallflaa
tlons , can , from thorn , arrive at the tlnnnula
condition of the nsyl.im ,
\\nfurtliorflml from thrt evidence thn
there has boon an absolute disregard for th
Interests of the state lu thu purchase o
drii's , groceries and ether supplies ; tlm
there h s hos-ii an absolute IncK.of huMnot
principles , and uxorb taut price * have beni
Paid for merchandise for that Institution , fi
furnishing estimates for morohaiidlsi > , the In
tjirostsof thoslalo have boon neglected am
thiMo estimates furnished In such a nruinc
that It has made legitimate eompo
tltlon Impossible. The evidence disclose
that the bids for these supplies , oyun whci
made by the mine company , or Indlvldua
varied widely with naoli roourrln * quarter
without any corresponding olmnto In tin
market , and there appears to have been a
studied effort on the part of the nmimgcmun
to purchase nomippllcs on which the bid WUH
nt. a price equal to or below the market valtlt
of the. commodity and to puroh-i ie In largi
quantities those article * that wore lu a bid a
an exorbitant figure. .Thlseontlnili'd practice
Indicates to this board that It was by design
and not accidental , and deserves the sovores
censure.
Wo cite only n few of the many Incidents
shown by thn testimony. I'op the uuarler
ending HcptJiithorlM. ISM , Silver ( Ton stand
was agreed to bo furnished th it Institution a
8 cents per pound , at which price Itl pounds
wore purchased Sop'ombor 37. three days
prior to the expiration of the quarter
On October 1 ' following , the bu
by the same p irty for Iho sain article was - '
cents per pound , and at that price no st-ircl
was purchased during the quarter. For tin
quarter ending September , 'IJ. ISM. the bid for
furnishing elder vinegar was H cents per gal
Ion. Noun , however , was purchased al tlm
price. October I , the same parly coiitrnctm
to furnish the satmt commodity at 1H cents par
gallon , ami at the latter price a large quan
tity was purchased. I'or the quarter ending
September : ! " . IHIM. syr < ip was aitive I to bo fur
nlshcd -"u'onls per gallon. None , however ,
was purchased during that quarter , but on
October I lliosamo party conlracted to fur
nish the same gr.ulu of svrup at TO ccnl-s per
gallon , and two barrels wen- purchase I. Sep-
tiMiibur.tl , IsU ) , forty pounds of baking powder
were purchased nt 40 cents per pound. The
next day , October I. tin simo p.irty from
whom the baking piiwdnr was boiKMit makes a
bid to furnish the sam article for the ensu
ing quarter at ' 'u cents per pound. It Is need
less to add , none was purchased. The same
facts exist with ro/nrd to the purchase of to
bacco , hominy , chocolate , oat meal , cammd
goods , etc.
il. In the matter of the death of the pitlcnt.
X.h'gler , which occurred on July : t , IS'H ' , we nre
convinced that there was gross carelessness
and negligence on the part of the olllcors ami
employes In the treatment of the patient
The evidence tends to show th it h ? die I from
Iho effects of an overdose of the drug known
as pirnlduhydo , which appears to have boon
administered under the direr-lion of Dr. lU
Test at. It ) n. m. , and the patient died on the
following day about li m. , without having re
covered from the stupor .superinduced by the
medicine.
In conclusion , permit the board to say that
It has made this Investigation under circum
stances exceedingly adverse , to say the least.
The legislature placed no funds at Its com
mand with which to pay the expenses of tlio
board , ollleers , witnesses or counsel , and when
It Is considered that It has boon oblUod to
hunt up thu witnesses , procure their altcnd-
anro , and attend to all other matters pertain
ing to the Investigation , when the oilier du
ties , of the respective olllcors are olalmliiT all
of the time at command , and the further fact
that the jlllcers under Investigation were con
tinued In charge of tli'it institution , for good
and sulllclent reasons nodouht. notwithstand
ing the fact that the hoard had recommended
tholrsuspension pending this Investigation.
Wo congratulate you that wo have been ena
bled to tiring this Invostl-tatlon to thU speedy
close , nil of which Is most respectfully sub-
milled. Yours very truly.
