INCREASED SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS We
have placed on the first page of to-day's PRESS
the report of the subcommittee of the School
Board to whom was referred the matter of
change in school accommodations in the wes-
tern part of the city. The subject is one of vi
tai Importance to every parent, as such
equally as a taxpayer. The committee present
the case with cogency, and it is to be hoped that
the report will be carefully read. A committee
was appointed on Monday evening, in accor-
dance with the appended order, to lay the mat
ter before the City Government.
JUDGE WARE.-On Monday Mr. Peters pre-
sented to the House a memorial of citizens OF
Maine, in behalf of Ashur Ware, late Judge OF
the District Court for Maine, who has now
reached the age of 80 years. The petitioners
ask that the pay which he was receiving at the
time of his resignation in 1866 may be continued
to him during his natural life. The memorial
is signed by Justice Clifford of the U. S. SUI
preme Court, Judge Shepley of the U. S. Cir
cult Court, Judge Fox of the Maine District
Court, Nathan Webb, U. S. Attorney for Maine
L. b. Reed, Attorney General of Maine, and
other prominent judges and officials The me-
MORALS were referred to the Judiciary Com

the temple grows thinner; there is an artery
running over the temple; there was an artery
broken that blood flowed from when the skull
was fractured; if the instrument had been
rough it seems as if we should have had more
liberation of the surface, or if it had been an
angular instrument; 1.-THE blow was produced
by a round smooth instrument, in my opinion;
the bruise on the cheek was more blood color
than that ON the forehead; / can't swear that
that bruise was produced at the same time as
that ON the forehead; it might have been pro-
duced by the knuGkles at still different time;
1t might have been given by the knuckles and
within an hour or so of the blow ON the head;
couldn't tell whether the instrument reached
above the head or not; couldn't tell the size of
the weapon from the wound with any degree of
probability; If it had been very large weapon
we should have been likely to have had a de-
preston of the skull; should suppose that the
injury might have been produced by a pin as
large round as the leg of a chair, or it might
have been four times as large; very likely you
would get depression of the skull If the lnstru-
mept was four times as large.
DR.. r. A, Foster, S1COrd-Am practising
physician; was present at the post mortem ex-
animation; did not see SWEET before; personal
ly examined the fracture and the bruises; rup-
ture of the blood vessel caused death; blow
from smooth or blunt instrument caused the
fracture; my opinion is that the instrument
must have been oval, roundish. (Fracture de-
scribed,) Noticed the red spot on the cheek; a
blow of that character could be caused by a
blow of the shape of billy; have no means OF
determining the length of the instrument, MOI
size; have no means of knowing whether the
instrument was all the way of size; such a
blow would not be likely to be struck on the
head from behind; blow of that character
would not be likely to be caused by fall ii
might be.
Cross examined blow on the temple ovel
the right eye, was in my opinion produced by 8
blunt instrument, but have no means OF know
ing whether the instrument was held in the
hand or not.
DIR. Hutchinson's testimony corresponded
with that of the two preceding doctors
The remainder of DR.. Getchelrs testimony
was a repetition of the other physicians.
| DR.. S. H. Teaoksbnry, testified that in his opn
ion If was not probable that the fracture wa
produced by mans fists; it might have beer
produced by Delaying pin; the probabilities
are in favor of wooden rather than an irol
| instrument; if the man struck hard on hat i
would lessen the liability to abrasion OF tn
skin; blow sufficient to fracture would In al
probability have injured the hand of the striker
