member of the Board Of Education from that Ward
who is implicated in The charles Of fraud in the nur-
chase of lots on Oliver street for a new school build.

Mr.. Gallagher, Principal of the Fourth Ward night
school informed Us that they came into his school or
Monday evening with Mr.. williamson who claimed
to have been appointed Principal in his Mr.. Gala
gher7) place, and demanded the allegiance Of the
school Mr.. Gallagher says, that hereupon he tappel
the bel and made little speech 10 the boys in which
be was very careful not to intte them TO violence
against Hr. Williamson, and assured that gentleman
that he would protect him against sny manifestations
of feeling on their part. He SAYS that Mr.. Williamson
told him before he eft that he perfectly satisfied.
that had it not been for him Mr.. Gallagher he mr.
williamson would never have gone out of that build
ing with whole bones, In dersion of this devotion OF
MIR. Gallagher and his school to each other, and Mr.
Gallagher magnanimous bearing toward Mr. william
son, Mr. Smith, this haffedged Superintendent, I'D
vised Mr.. Gallagher to give up the school toAF'
Williamson, the new app0ntee TO the place.
Mr.. Gallagher denies that he had been formally Us
missed. lie gives this account OF the steps taker
toward his dismissal by Mr.. Shine;
Mr.. Shine not more than week ago sent to me TO-
know if had not some influence with some OF the
members ofthe Board Of Education and could not
get them to elect him TO the Evening school Commit
tee; then he said, he could me my place next
yenr. But the last day of the year he went to the
Evening School Committee, knowing that Mr.. Weir.
Nhe member of that Committee who has the appoint
mcnt of teachers from this and the Fourteenth
Wards was SICK and stated to the Committee that he
was authorized by the school officers to say that
,,kf
disordery. The female department was stigmatized
as sink of pollution and was the desire Of Mr..
Weir who would sOOr be there and the school officers,
tha; they should make certain changes Ehe Com
mttee asked .or list, and he gave indOrsed by
himself. | heard of this, and went with Mr.. Weir,
who could not credit it. TO the office of the Board,
where we found nothing but this list indorsed by Mr.
Shine.
Mr.. Gallagher showed IA two notices, lately written
by Mr.. Shine in his visitors book:
Oc 1857 This being tho evening of the Fr,
VISITED the schools found the sane crowded to xce., Tue
ability Of the Principal aud bis assistants regulated everything in
,t n r over 100 bows ETGENE SHINE Conm'r"
"DDc g. s57Ths being the close oftie first term Of Even
4 Gaosher Principal highly delighted with the
exercises oftc evening which consisted in PRESENT. ceicates
ra G's "nd s' their sH! srnp snd the soey
number prc,eIt speak in OF communication Of the
Ev,ning School OF the Fourth WsEi. EUGENE SHINE"
Mr. Slime has evidently changed his mind. In. re-
gard to charge of ntOxcation which it is asserted
NJ Shine brought against NJ. Gallagher that gentle
man Indignantly denies it, but says that once uron
time, when a certain Commissioner asleep drunk
upon his PLATFORM he stood fer half hour in front OF
him to pre- vent the scholars from discovering his
dton.
Mr. Gallagher tells us that this is not the first sine
that he has been thus summarly dismissed. In 1896
he was delegate to the Democratic State Convention,
which did not nominate Fernando Wood for Governor.
He resisted Dir. Woods solicitations to stay at home
and allow Dick Connolly, his alternate, to go n'hs
place and when he got to Syracuse he, as consistent
Hard-Shell, did all lie could to defeat Wood. On his
return he was served with notice Of dismissal from his
situation, as Vice-Prncpal Of Ward School No y, in
the Sixth Ward. However, no successor YVES up
pointed and he held over.
Mrs. Lynch the late principal Of the Girls Depart
ment of the Fourth Ward Evening School is very
Justly indignant at the charge that her school is a
sink of pollution. So FAR from keeping anything OF
that kind, she says that she has carefully excluded
even the male teachers. AL the old teachers are now
holding on at the request Of nearly all the School Of
GERS OF the Ward.
