GOOD NEWS FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS.

GOOD NEWS FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS.
We take great pleasure, says the Columbia
Union. Herald, in behalf of many poor teach
ers, in publishing the following letter of Hon.
j.. K. Jillsop, Superintendent of Education, to
the Hon. F. L. Cardozo, State Treasurer. We
have been informed by the treasurer that he
is ready to pay the money on demand. This
will be very gratifying to the teachers in the
various parts Of the State, who have waited
several years for this money. We fear that
the amount will be insufficient to liquidate the
certificates outstanding, because Of the illegal
practice of the school commissioners of issu-
ing certificates largely in excess of the appro-
priations made for their respective counties:

Cotton Mill burned.

PHILADELPHIA, October 31.-The
Carleton Cotton and Wooden Mills,
on Hamilton street, between Tween

totally destroyed by fire to-day. The
fire broke out in one of the drying

agement. The mills were 400 feet
long, $50 feet wide and FIVE stories
in height. They contained very fine
machinery, which with the stock of
woolens, cottons and cloths. was en-
tirely consumed. The loss is estima-
ted at $3.50, 600, on which there are
assurances of 1892, 900 on buildings,
SI93, 600 on machinery, and $780,
600 on the stock, divided among the
companies in this country
and England, no company losing
over $4,000.
