Chicago, MR 20.—Judge Prendergast has Tendered his decision in the matter of the investigation into the Cook County Insane asylum. The investigation was based on the case of Dora Willard, the unfortunate girl who was confined in the insane asylum and was taken out on the application of her 8ister; who averred that the asylum was not a fit place to keep her. Tig. judge sustained the application and ordereu Dora to be transferred to Kankakee. In his decision Judge Prendergast finds that the asylum is not an asylum, but a place of imprisonment. He also says that a special session of the legislature ought to be held which should take the management out of the hands of the present authorities and put it in the control of tbe state. The Chicago Witne.se. Were Well Treated. TTkw York, June 80.—Jay Gould's steam yacht, the Atalanta, struck the end of pier 54, the dock of the Wilson line of steamers, on Tuesday afternoon, and plowed through the heavy pine cross beams and planking of the dock for thirty feet. The Atalanta was headed up stream under slow speed with Jay Gould and several members of his fan.iiy on board when Capt. Shackford, seeing that he was likely to foul the dock, gave the signal to the engineer to reverse. The engineer mistook.it for the signal to go ahead full speed, and the Atalanta sprang forward, cutting like ,a knife thropgh the big rope fender and knocking four of the twentyfour inch beams into splinters. Aside from the damage to her jibboom and the breaking of a few stays, she was uninjured. Mr. Gould sent word to the owners of the pier that he would pay the cost of repairing the damage, which will amount to about $1,500l * Bookkeeper Throckmorton was seen at his office. He said: "There is no truth in the reports that we were not given a fair show and that we might have been mistaken. We were ushered iifto a well lighted corridor and the prisoners were brought and placed in a row before us. We did not know Moroney or McDonald from f».ny of the others, but we took a good look at all the men. We were in there probably fifteen minutes. I examined every man separately and carefully. Simons wasu't among them; there can be no mistake about that. Martinson and Hatfield were equally as positive as I." The seriously injured are Conductor Burris, Brakeman McFarland, Posrtal Clerks W.

Common Sense At the c inference yesterday of Governor Beaver's relief commission, which lasted about three hours, the Pittsburg mamters of the commission wanted the million dollar loan expended upon measures of solid relief for Johnstown, while the eastern members ■were of the opinion that the Susquehanna and Juniata valley sufferers were also entitled to recognition. After a great deal of talk Governor Beaver decided that Johnstown should have 75 or 80 per cent, of the million dollars. The next question was how the money should be distributed. Houses were conceded to be the first want of the people, and 500Chicago ready made bouses will be put up and furnished as soon as they can bo got upon the ground. It was also decided to use every means possible to make the stricken people of the community self supporting and induce them to get to work as soon as possible.New Haven.
