The Hamilton County Teachers AssO
ciat!on held their regular monthly meet
ing in the Council chamber this morning
Mr.. w. ii. Nelson presiding, and a large
number of members present. Mr.. John
S. Turrell was appointed Secretary, pre-
TEN.
The exercises were opened by the
reading of passage from Scripture by
the President, followed by short pray
er by Mr.. w. N. Locke, Principal OF the
Lockland Public School.
After the singing of hymn, Mr.. J
Giagne, Principal OF the Glendale High
ture OH ''Physical Geology" embracing
the whole subject, with explanations OF
. very intellectual and, besides, illustra
tive character. He treated principally
of how the system was at first formed
into suns and other planets, how these i'll
turn cooled off, forming crusts upon their
surface and became wrinkled, as it were,
thus giving rise to declivities, which are
now denominated as valleys.
He also showed how u small stream oil
water from some mountain spring sought
its way gradually, and at length with the
wear Of Time, swelled into river. The
rises on the earth's surface, now demon
mated as mountains and hills, were eX.
action at the center Of the earth. With
few short and good advices as to the
best anu securest method of studying
Physical Geography, MIR. Giasue closed
his lecture with much applause.
Mr.. E. o. Vaille, of Woodward High
School, thereupon followed with an es-
say on the "II STORY OF Common School
Education," which was received with
much interest by the hearers.
The discussion of the day on the SUBJ
ject, cough the number of branches. in
the Common High School curriculum be
reduced" was thereupon taken up. MIR.
Cow. Oyler opened fire on the atfirina-
tive side, while Mr.. +. Il. Wilson, of Riy-
erside, followed and cOntended in the
negative.
The subject on the whole was made
very interesting by the contcnders to the
hearers and showed undoubtedly that
the advantages and disadvantages of
both sides of the question were fully un-
derstood by both of the gentlemen.
After song and short prayer the So
ciety thereupon adjourned to meet again
in March.

the company had fulfilled the views OF
the contract.
Mr.. Hatch was cross-examined by him,
and insisted that Irwiu's contract was a
private one with Mr.. Stockwell, and was
not made by the company. Mr.. Hatch
had never been able TO ind any record
OF a contract with Mr.. Irwin. MIR. Hatch
said he had no evidence or knowledge
outside of the record that Mr.. Irwin had
any contract with the company.
He neither denied nor affirmed the fact
that large amount of money was eX-
pended in Washington. AS to the $780,
600 said to have been expended by Irwin
there was vacuum in The bank account,
and he did not know whether Irwin eX-
pended it in Washington or not. He
said Mr.. Samuel Hatch was employed at

Pacific Mail INQUIRIES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-In the Pacific
Mail Investigation this morning, Mr.. Ru-
fus Hatch testified, as Managing Direc-
tor that II. B. Irwin's evidence in connec.
tiOn with his employment as agent to
urge legislation before Congress, was
absolutely false. MIR. Irwin was empow-
cred by Mr.. Stockwell; he had no en-
gagement with the Pacific Mail Compa.
ny directly or indirectly.
There is no evidence on the books of
the company of any contract with Irwin
in relation to Congressional legislation.
Irwin was simply an agent Of the COM
pany at San Francisco. His transac-
tiOns in Washington We're never author
lied and Irwin's testimony to that effect
was absolutely false. r.. b. Irwin was
never employed as an attorney OF coun-
sci of the company.
A resolution adopted by the company
authorized the expenditure OF $4,000
only, ana this was not authorized to in
fuence legislation. In further testimony
Mr.. Hatch alleged if Irwin was employed
at all he was employed by Mr.. stock
well, and not by the Pacific Mail Com
pany.
He asserted that Mr.. Stockwen and
Mr.. Irwin had abstracted at least two
and half million dollars from the Com
pany, and their distractions were made
by false entries on the books, WEIGH have
been only recently discovered.
The Company did not consider this
legislation in the nature of a subsidy,
but as legitimate; and the San Francis 60
agency, as represented by Mr.. Irwin,
was not authorized to expend more than
0,000. '-
: Mr.. Hatch insists that the control is
still in full force and effect. He alludes
to the fact that the company was required
70 build a large number of vessels, ana
that in faith of shat requirement. the
company had built tive splendid vessels,
