iJlEii.1 Attorney General Hustings. Secre
tary of State Allen , Land Commissioner
Humphrey nnd Warden Hopkins of the
Btiito ponftontlary , returned lust night from a
Bomuwh.it extended olllclal tour of Inspec
tion , upon which they visited the United
States military prison at Lctwotuvorih , the
Kansas atnto penitentiary at the sntno place ,
the Missouri penitentiary at JcfTcraon Citv ,
tbo south Illinois penitentiary nt Chester ,
nnd the northern Institution nt Jollct , nnd
the Indiana penitentiary at Michigan City
In answer to a question as to the object of
the trip , Secretary of State Allen said to Tin :
JJr.K representative ) :
"Tho State Board of Public Lands and
buildings will soon oo called unon to decide
upon the plant for the cells in the new cell
house that Is to bo urcctod at tlio Nebraska
ttato penitentiary. Wo feel that , white the
old cell house Is well adapted to the security
t > f the prisoners , the ventilating and sanitary
Conditions aru not satisfactory , Tim mom-
l > ors of the Doard visited these several Insti
tutions In order tu obtain nn insight into the
tiest methods of ventilating , etc. , in order
that convicts may not bo tortured by being
confined In overcrowded , damp , unwholesome
pud Illy ventilated colls.
"Our Inquiries , while directed largely to
cells , cell Louses , their several modes of con-
Btructlon , slzo , ventilation and sanitary ar
rangements , yet the subject of contract labor
of prisoners punishments Imposed , food
furnished tbo prisoners , manner of feeding ,
Whothcrln dining rooms or lu cells , manner
of preparing foods , the use or disuse of cor
poral punishment , discipline , etc. , were all
investigated , nnd our party has made many
Inquiries and received much information that
will be of vast use and benefit in the comple
tion of the prison. In all the Institutions wo
bavo viiited , wo llnd but ono where llopglnir
Was resorted to as a mode of punishment.
' While wo llnd the ventilation of cells and
cell houses In our own prison of an Inferior
character , yet the hospital ratio Is below thnt
of any Institution visited. Our discipline Is
nupurlor , all things considered , to any wo
bavo soon , excepting perhaps that of the
military prison at Loavunwortb , ICan. , where
the military prisoners of tno United States
lira confined. The food given the prisoners
ttt our own penitentiary was carefully com
pared with thntof other prisons.and compares
favorably with most of them. Wo found the
lock-stop , with right hand on lllo leader's
khouldur in use in no other prison than our
own. In the military prison , and in Mis-
eourl , the prisoners simply fold their arms
Who n going about the yards. Wo huvo taken
copious and dollnltc notes of mat tors In
Which wo are Interested concerning each in-
Btitutlon wo visited , and have gathered their
reports , statistics , etc. , BO far as wo are able.
\Vo are convinced Nebraska has a less prison
population per capita than any state In the
union , end lower of the prisoners are illiter
ate. We find also tnat the proportion of
females to males in several states wo nxam-
> nod is about ns hero " per cent.
"Tho humnno treatment of prisoners in the
Kobrasku penitentiary stands out promi
nently , when like institutions are considered.
"Wo have no coal mine SOO feet. down in the
earth whcio prisoners toll each dav , as in
Kansas , tbo whipping post of Missouri does
toot exist , nor the slinging up by the wrists ,
Us in Illinois. "
Alt of the members of the party ex pressed
Vlows very similar to those of Secretary
I Mien , and there can bo no question ns to the
bonollts thut will result to the Nebraska iu-
titulion Irom the trip of Inspection.

of tbo Institution by order of Governor Flfor.
Charges ntralnst this institution nro not alto

tions. In ofllcinl circles Dr. Currlel's
management has been presumed to bo of the

In splto of thosulciue verdict of the core
ner's Jury In the case of Carrie Smith , whoso
body was taken from Lake Michigan at the
foot of Fifty-eighth street in the afternoon of
November ai , there are strong indications
that death dla not coruu at her own seeking.
It now develops that on tho. night preceding
tne discovery of the body a girl was seen re
sisting the caresses of a man close to where
tbo body was found a few hours afterwards ,
and that at tno time of the recovery of the
body a btono was found about the neck
which was removed before the coroner's in
