IIocitKBTKii, July8, Dr. Edward Munson of
Medina, a member of the Hoard of Managers
of the llou.se of Ilefuga for Women nt Albion,
has made a stnterocnt of tho attitude of tho
managers In handing In their resignations, In
thu couiseof which he sn)a:
"Wo havo no doubt that this legislation !
aimed nt existing evils, hut as no member of
the bonrd Is conscious of having expended nny
sum except conscientiously, there must bn
other legltlrnnle expenses Incurred, In addition
to giving our time, nnd we do not earn tn Incur
this a Idltioual bunion, even though it may not
hen very Inrgoone
" Wec.intiot understand vvhnt the Comptrol
ler means. If correctly "portod. We have not
paid morn than current rates for supplies, nor
have re abused the transportation privllcgos.
No watchmen have ever been discovered
asleep, and nn escape havo been made
where tho watchmen could be blamed.
Lashing to the floor Is not prac
ticed, nor nro girls etrlpped of their
clothing nnd whipped with heavy leather
straps', ns stated by the Comptroller Nor
are girls forcod tn bathe In bathtubs after
others afflicted with loathsome diseases,
Perhaps tho Comptroller did not In
tend that these charges should read
in ngnlnst the Western House of Ilofugo.
Certainly no sueh nbuses were oor hoird of In
thin Institution, No longer than six weeks ago
Deputy .State Comptroller (Hllman Inspected
the Institution nnd expressed himself as per
fectly satisfied with the condition of things In
every respect, nnd that Its management was
thu best of liny In the State
"The linn. 1. H Slgnor. 1'reMdent of the
boatd. hns been called by the Governor to Al
bany, to make a stntemcut on behalf uf
the Ho.itd of Managers and to confer
with the Mate H. aid of Charities with
respect tn the with ir-nal uf the
resignations. It Is unlortuiuite that such
charges, which are vvhnby without founda
tion, so far ns the Western Houe of ltefugu
Is concerned, should havo been given such
wide publicity, and such garbled nnd t.ena
tionnf statements should nut have emnnnted

"Tho Comptroller refuses now to allow this
money, especially appropriated, to be used for I
that purpose The whole mnttor came before '
the Govornnr, nnd after hearing both sides he
was perfectly satisfied tn leavo the approprla

They had i quarrel In the afternoon nt

hard blows on Pcgllos's face and head before
the crowd Intorferod nnd separated thorn to

Teglies declared at the time that he would
have revenge, nnd warned Gibbons to look out
Gibbons laughed at the threats and taunted
Peglles, saying that he could take care nt him

Pegllosnll the angrier
Shortly nftor 0 o'clock last night Gibbons
wan passing through Sands street nn bis way

The spoetntnrs were so atnared by what they
had seen that they made inn effort at first to
