THR Public SCHOOLS -DiSioynl Teachers An
adjourned meeting Of the board was held on
Tuesday evening last, for the purpose Of electing
teachers. But few were elected, owing to the
fact that MANY or them refused to answer the ques
tons propounded In reference to allegiance to
the Government Some who answered did 90

This Is all the Information We have oeeh tole

the fac. that IL was ~ have bean Eeld seens not

our mind-that what transpired should not be
made public There seems no god reason way

municipal organization.
FATAL Yesterday afternoon as a
large freig ut train was crossing Pennsylvania av
enue, near the west gaze OF the Capitol, a boy
named Reeves attPm pied TO get on a baggage car,
the cars passing over HIM cut his legs of at the
hips. He wa at once removed to the residence
of his father, Leonard Reeves, living near the
bridge on New Jersey avenue, and expired in
about three hours. When taken out bis linn bs
were mangled In horrible manner, the legs
holding together only nv the skin. Constan: ap.
prehensions have been felt that an accident would
happen In this local.ty-the boys quite often
Jumping on the passing cara TO get a ride. Ii Is
to be hoped that this sorrowful accident may
prove a warning to such.
FIGHT ABOUT DINNER Yesterday, George
Brown, James Stewart. and Joseph Smith went
into the restaurant On Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Four and half and Sixth streets kept by
G. r. Poctinelt. and cslIed for ham and eggs,
beef steak al G coffee for three, which was fur
nisheds them, and they disposed Of the good
things with apparent relish. Upon calling for
their bill, they were Informed that II was 81.
They bjscted to the price, and offered in pay
ment twenty Ave cents each, which they regarded
sufficient paw. A quarrel ensued, which termi-
mated in light, and the arrest OF the proprietors
and the three customers for fighting Justice
Walter fined all concerned, prGprietors and GUS
TONERS, AZ each, and also made the latter pay the
bill which caused the trouble.
COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-Yesterday, some attempts
were made to put in circulation some half dol
lars OF the description best known az the stone
cOinage.n The attempt failed except In two
cases where q man and n woman were each re-
ceiver Of half dollar, and discovered that fact
by attempting to pass the money. The pieces
which they had Were taken by the Third Ward
patrolmen, and delivered to sergeant Skippon
for safe keeping. No doubt that much Of this
trash IL In the hands Of &C showers who will use
every opportunity to defra nd the community with
1t. II Is easily detected by its light weight and
greasy feeling. Old pieces slightly worn, are
easily detected by appearance, and no one need
be deceived by them.
