DIRTY DUNGEON.
The Conily Jail a Disgrace to Any
Civilized Connnnnily ,
Some Horrible Statements Made by
Pomona "Who Hrwo Been
Released ,
Now that the count/ has decided to
build a now court honso and a now jail ,
and the question la no longer ono for
election talk merely , a statement of how
affairs really are cannot bo said to bo
caused by any motiveof influencing
votes. Several grand juries have already
passed upon the condition of the county
jail. They are required by lawjto in
spect the jail , and have douo BO , and
doubtless tbo jail , on such occasions , has
boon put in as good shape to rnceivo
them as possible , hut seeing the jail oven
under as favorable circumstances as
possible , the grand juries have
condemned the place , as an unfit
ono in which to keep prisoners. The
board ol health has condemned the
building , court huiiao and jail , as unsafe.
Under such circumstances there can bo
no question ai to its being almost Impos
sible to keeping prisoners in thcro in any
decent , comfortable shapo.
Some prisoners who have been rcloasad
give detail * of some of the sufferings to
which they have been subjected while
Imprisoned there. It matters not whether
men are simply being hold for tral , and
in the eyes of the law at least , a * inno
cent DS any man , or whether they are
serving a sentence , they are punished by
the very necessities of a confinement in
such a placo.
Ono of the most outrageous features of
the case , as stated by thosa who have
themselves experienced it , Is that thcro
are no arrangements for getting rid of the
excrements and filth which accumulates
in a place where twenty to thirty men
are kept In cloao confinement. The tall
is 9 foot by 40 foot , and cells are on each
side. The vault and drains of the privy
some time ago became so filled and clog
ged that the filth overflowed and covered
a goodly portion of the iljor of the jail ,
and this has occurred savoral times late
ly. Now the use of the vault has been
abandoned altogether , and In each cell is
a wooden slop buckpt , which naturally
becomes saturated with the filth and it la
claimed that thcso wooden buckets ] while
emptied dally , have not bean cleaned for
mouths , Wooden buckets , need thus
day alter day , become simply horrible.
But added to this la the fact that In a rear
cell are four largo wooden bnckcti , which
are used by the whole crowd of prisoners
during the day time , and are emptied
once a day. The stench arising from this
open ozposnro of filth and excrements
permeates the whole jitll , and It Is in this
sort of an atmosphere that hnman bolngs
are obliged by the mijesty of the law , to
live and move , oat and drink , sleep and
breathe.
The heating apparatus of the old jail
consisted during moat of the
past severe winter , of ono
old soft coil etovo In which the
attempt rraa made to burn hard coal.
The prisoners complain that they had the
chance of either being frozen to death or
sniTocated with the stench. The jail has
little or no ventilation , and the tempta
tion has been continually presented to
prisoners to staff rags and old blankets in
every possible place to keep the cold out.
And thus the stench has been almost
stifling. Tbo old jail is four foot nnder
the ground , and at the best It is but a
dirty hole in which prisoners are obliged
to crowd and there abide until freed.
Anyone listening to the statements of
thosa who have been In durance vile can
hardly resist the conclusion that
it is brutal for this county
to keep Ita prisoners in such
a place a day longer , without making
some radical change. Prisoners are hu
man , and if they cannot bo treated In
somewhere near humanlike , It wonld bo
hotter for the county to pay tholr board
in jails elsewhere until such time as tbo
now jail is done.
There are other causes of complaint
stated by these who have been thera , but
some of them c < m doubtless never bo
remedied so long as the present old build
ing is used at all.

LOST SHEEP ,
A Man ArrcHtod , Thrown in Jail nil
Forfiotten All About ,
Daring the past year It has occurred
two or throa times that a man arrested ,
a stranger , moneyless and friendless , has
been overlooked and has been allowed to
remain In jail for months without any
hearing , Another such case came to
light yesterday. A Strode , who bad boon
in tbo country loss than two years , and
who could apeak little English , and know
little of American customs , was arrested
about six months ago by Mr. David Mot-
toz on n charge of atnallng n pair of pant *
aloona and a clolhoo brush from one of tha
boarders at the St. Joe house. Mr.
Mnttoz turned the mnn over to OQicer
Wheeler , of the polfce force , who placed
him in jail. The man who claimed to
owu the properly was out of the oltyand ,
the affair was allowed to remain In that
shape nntll he could return , it being the
Intention to have him til an informa
tion. The siTiir in a few dnya was foi
gotten , no information was filed , find the
poor Swede has been lying In jail evtr
sluce , and was forgotten nil about. Yet-
terday ono of the prisoner *
who bad been released took
tops to hqulro into the matter , and the
'caso being called to Jndgo Aylcsworth'a
attention , ho ordered the prisoner
brought before him. An information
was filed charging him with simple
hrcony , and the choice was Riven him of
pleading guilty , and being fined a nomi
nal sum , or waiting until the witnesses
could bo got at. The poor Swede
naturally preferred to plo d guilty , and
In vlow of the circumstances of the cise
the judge fined him ono dollar and
did not iflsuo any committment , the fel
low thus being allowed to go free ,
It sociru strange that some system of
records cannot bo maintained hero by
which it wonld bo impossible for man
to thus to lie In jail forgotten and nn-
tried. There certainly Is a ecraw loose
somewhere when such a clrcumstanco can
arlao , while the county and city are paying
out thoutnnda of dollars for the
purpose of having ofliclala and maintain
ing courts. To allow a prisoner to bo
thrown into such an old dungeon ni the
present county jail , and Ho there without
any hearing or conviction , savors too
much of the custom of the middle ages.

How Gnnibllng Is C rrlcil On on
Hoard Moino of tlio Illg Liners ,
A slim , well dressed mnn sat biking
ton reporter the other day In the rotnnda
of the Palmer bouse , Ho had mild bice
eyes and hair slightly tinged with while
and ho was clean-eluvcn , s vo for an iron
gray mustache , which g vo him rather
a distingue appearance , To look at him
ono would nupposo that ho was a pros
perous lawyer , who yet retained some ol
the military bearing acquired during the
war. Ho had also a sort of undefined
yet porcoptable "churchy" air about him
which added to his "solid" appearance.
But the reporter's companion
waa far from being either a lawyer era
a church deacon , for ho was no other than
colonel , major , or captain , whlchovei
title ho was known by for the nonce ,
George Phipps , the well-known Now
York camblor , and ono of the most
noted of "Atlantlo sharks , " otherwise
men who make it a business to cross and
rocrcss the Atlantic in the fast liners ,
bent , not on catching whaloa , but on
catching gudgeons.
"Yes , " said the colonel , who was not
the least bit ashamed of his vocation , "I
have crossed the Atlantlo pretty nigh
going on a hundred times , nni ? I'm not
tired of It yet , The fact ie , I'm n rcg
ular old salt , nnd I can cat better , sleep
bettor , and altogether feel bettor on board
ship than I do on shore When 1 waa a
young mau , In the daya before thin Euro
pean ttip was as fashionable as It is now ,
I nud Tom Ctabbo , who died Iho
other day , used to work the
Mississippi boitn for nil they were worth ,
but , bless yon , they wore nothing com
pared to the big Atlantic Knots In the
season. On the river boats , don't you
sco , thcro were too many of us at It , nud
it was a case most of the time of Greek
mooting Greek. But on the Atlantic ,
when n few of na got on board , wo work
together And pretty near run the ship.
Lordl how Iv'o laughed sometimes , " and
the colonel chuckled at the reminiscence ,
"to tee some of the poor devils who were
going ever to 'do' Europe with $1,500 or
f 2,00 , get 'done' thcmsolvca on the voy
age nnd go ashore clean .broke. "
' What do you gamble at chiefly ? "
queried the reporter.
"Oh , wo go In for everything poker ,
euchre , monte ( not three-card ) , JSapo-
leon , and lee ; but the moat com
mon , as well as the favorite , Is po
ker. Then wo bet and have pools on
the run of the ship , and If yon know any
thing abont it , and stand in with the
proper officers , ! you generally can win
ono or two of thorn. There's an inside
track in the run of a ship just the same
OB in the running of a horsa. Then wo
rope in ( he suckers , too , with 'catch'
bets , sadi as guessing at the height of a
table which you have previously meas
ured , cr how many times round the rim
of a water bottle makes its height , or
marking the height of a plug hat on the
door. Vou can always make your wine
bill and a little ever off these bets. "
"Speaking of catch beta , " continued
the colonel , "I remember ono of the
smartest of our crowd being done by a
young follow on board a White Star
steamer. This young fellow wouldn't
touch a card or make a bet , and he
looked as meek and mild aa a member of
tlio Y. M. C. A. Harry Wilson , myjpil's
name waa a great man for these 'citch'
bets' and wua always trying to rope this
young fellow in but ho wouldn't bite.
At last ono day we three were sitting in
the smoking-room when Harry sild :
'Look hero , I'll tell you what I'll do , Mr.
A . I'll bet you $50 I gness nearer
the number of ta s at the end of
this sash than you do , " at the sjmo
tlmo holding up a window sash with a
number of leather tags at the end of it ,
which you may bo sure Barry had pre
viously connted. But the young fellow
would not bo tempted , and presently wo
both went off for a walk on deck. Wo
returned in abont an hour , and flurry
began to badger the young follow again.
"Well , I will toll you what I'll do , "
said ho to Harry , "if you promise not to
bother me any further I'll have ono bet
with you. "
"Agreed , " replied Harry. "What shall
it bu ? "
"Well , suppose wo have the number of
'tags' on that tassel you were talking
abont. "
"How much for ? ' '
"Well , say $50 , as it is to bo my only
bet. " Somehow or other I never conld
exactly tell how they began raising each
other , and soon thu bet stood at $250 on
the guess. They tossed up for first guess
which Harry won. Holding the sasn np
ho pretended to examine the 'tags' criti
cally. "Well , " eald ho , aftirapauae ,
" 1 guess there are just thhty-two. "
"Sorry , sir , " ald the yonug man with
a smile that was childlike and bland ,
' 'but since you counted them they have
been reduced to thirty. Here are the
other two in my pocket , " and he handed
over the two taga for Harry's Inspection.
"The Y. M. 0. A. waa the smartest of
the crowd. He waa sure Harry had
counted them , so when he had gouo out
ho had quietly counted them himself and
then cat two of the tags off. "
' 'Do the captains never try to put a
stop to gambling ? "
"Never , that I ha/e soon. Why , It
wouldn't pay them to do It. It la very
seldom that any ono 'kicks. ' There ii
something in the sea air that is conducive
of gambling. Men that on shcro never
touch a card or make a bet are as keen at
it na 'old gams. ' "
"How many men are play ing the game ,
do you think ? "
Well , not as many as you would snp-
poeo ; 1 guecs a hundred wonld see ua. "
"What line is patronized the mast ? '
"Oh , they are pratty evenly distrib
uted over the Canard , White Star ,
Guion and Inmin. Wo leave the Scotch
beats and National line alone ; a man
wouldn't gat enough elF cither of these
lines to pay his wine bill. But yon take
my advice , young nun , and when you go
across don't touch a card or make a bet
unless you know something , and then
play It for all it Is worth. "
Tliero Is Notning in It.
