INDIANA.
Terrible TraScc1v,

indianapolis, 20. George c. Harding edi-
tor and proprietor of the indianapolis Herald
shot Col. Moritz, a prominent merchant of
this city this afternoon, under the following
circumstances
These gentlemen have been warm friends
and very intimate in social relations. Moritz,
who is Hebrew, aged about 40 years and
married, took advantage of this intimacy and
succeeded in seducing Hardings daughter
aged about Is years. This was was accom-
plished last March, and improper relations
have been maintained since that time. The
young lady confided these facts to her father
last evening, and overwhelmed with remorse
she attempted suicide by taking opium. 1t is
thought that she repeated the dose this morn
ing. About one o'clock this afternoon Hard
ing went in search of physician, met Nor
itz on the street, and Immediately began firing
at him shooting five times. He then passed
down the street. One of the shots shattered
Moritz's left elbow and another passed through
his lung lodging in his chest. 1t was thought
that the latter wound would prove fatal, bat
at 10 o'clock ne was resting quietly and will
probably recover. Miss Harding died about
3 o'clock this afternoon. Harding is under
$4,000 bonds to await the result of Mon,z's
wounds. The public feeling is very strongly
in sympathy with Harding. Since the sh cot
ing Mrs. Harding, the step mother of the dead
daughter, has stated that Mortz also made
improper proposals to her. Moritz denies
the charges made by Miss Harding on her
death bed and says as soon as he is able he
will prove his innocence.
II. NJ. Burnside, brother of Gen. Burnside,
committed suicide by hanging himself during
temporary fit of insanity. at Falkland In

FROM NEW YORK.

Rochester, N. Y. The Union in an article
on the governership and the democratic can
didacy alludes to the general expression in
favor of the nomination of Chief Judge
Church and says, eff he were to intimate a
willingness to accept, there is no doubt he
would receive a unanimous nomination by
reclamation from the convention. But many
of his friends thinks he ought not at present
be taken from the bench of the Court of APP
peals where chief Judge he presides with
dignity and distinguished ability that rank
high among the foremost jurists of the land
and he declares in the most positive terms.
He must therefore be regarded as not in the

Teachers Institute.
FOURTH DAY-THuRsDAY.

OURTH DAY HtRSDAl.
After the regular opening exercises, Dr..
French resumed the subject of Classification
of School. He began by saying thar pupils
needed to be overlooked in their
studies quite as much as in their recita-
tions. Teachers must not only arrange the
time and order of class work, but also of
study work. The daily programme must in
clude, then, not only proper arrangement of
the Rotations OF each pupil, but of the time
which he is to devote to each study-the when
and how long he is to study each lesson. In
making such programme care must be eXer-
cised not to so arrange the recitations and
studies that the study of any lesson shall
come Immediately before its recitation. Such
work is mere examining. Some space must
intervene between study and recitation in or
der for the pupil to study and retain what he
has learned. The DR.. then put upon the
board the model of a school programme ar
ranged according to the explanations he had
given during the two exercises on this sub
ject.
Prof. Luce then took up the topic of
"School Evolutions and Movements" He
said that schools should be systematized so as
to secure-lst, Least possible disorder; I'd,
Largest saving of time Sd, Influence on
General order; 4th, Formation of orderly
habits. This can be done by moving classes,
when practicable, by wholes, and by some
signs or calls. He would have absolute quiet
before recess and at dismissal, and that is the
only time during the day when silence should
be insisted upon. Would send pupils to re-
cess in divisions by some system of signals /;
| would have the time definite and well known,
with an understanding that the scholars shall
act promptly. He advised the teacher to
take recess with the scholars for his own
sake and that of his pupils. 1t will exert a
healthy, moral and social influence. The de-
| tails of all the various movements ordinarily
