GREENBACKERS FALLING OUT.

The greenbackcrs occupied Clarendon Hall for
over two hours last evening. There two
meetings. in the basement and the other "up

j. Crooke, while Mr.. Wilson Mcdonald ruled over
the deliberations in the lower portion of the build

many interest. 1t would appear that both organ
izations hired 1.-THE hall for last evening. One of
them, however, obtained II early in the
afternoon and held possession despite Mr..
Crooko's protest. The police were called
in the room cleared and Mr.. Crooke was recognized
as the leader OF the regular" organization. The
others then met in the basement. All
the trouble arose out Of alleged usurpation
OF authority the part OF MIR. Henry Nichols. the
secretary of the Committee on Organization. He
claimed that he had right to call and organize a
general committee and proceeded to do so. The
Committee on Organization. however. would not
recognize his action, and last night i'll the basement,
voted to suspend" him until an investigation could
be had. At both meetings arrangements were made
for the election of delegates and aiternatcs to the

dresses made and both organizations adjourned

AFTER THREE YEARS.
Persistent search of an OfFicer for q
Desperate, and Final success

Detective Lew Morgan, of Ironton, o.,
arrived in this city last night from Jeffer-
son City, Missouri, with prisoner for
whom he had been in search three years.
The story of the Offenders crime, his es-
cape and recapture, as detailed to a Com
mercial reporter, was quite interesting.
On the evening of July %, 1875, John
Bennett, a coal miner and desperate char
acter, made up his mind to rob Hugh
Swinney, the proprietor of store six
miles from IrontOn. He went to the
place, and after waiting until he was
alone with his intended victim, asked for
a glass of ale. They walked back to the
rear of the store, where to his discom-
future, the presence of large mastif pre-
vented the murder being carried into ex-
ecution. The drink was taken, and he
then requested Swinney to light him
over the railroad track. AS the store
keeper, complying, went outside and held
up lantern so that it would shed bet
| ter light, Bennett stepped up from be-
hind and shot him in the head, behind
the right ear, and again through the leg
as he was falling. The rapid approach
of neighbors attracted by the firing caused
the would-be murderer to make off to the
river, when he crossed to Hanging Rock
and escaped on horse stolen from John
Demsey. Officer Morgan, then City Mar.
shal, took charge of the case and worked
on it until in November, 1876, he discOv-
cred his man in Missouri and started home
with him. On arrival at Cincinnati pas
sage was taken on an up river boat, anC
then the overtaxed energies of the detect
i've gave out. Four of the preceding five
days he had little or no sleep, and natur,
lovercame him. When he awakened th'
bird had flown. He continued on to Iron
ton and reported his misfortune, supple
menting the statement that he would ye
find him if he was alive. The search wa
again commenced by the official. thi
time at his own expense. Feb. 26th hi
efforts were rewarded by dispatch fron
the Sheriff of Laclede county, Missouri
saying that man answering Bennett
description was in the penitentiary a
Jefferson City, serving term for horse
stealing. Morgan went there on frs
train, and was told by Governor Phelp
that he could have the prisoner only o

of identity. A trip was made throug

noticed in your paper, of the 9Th of
February, an improvement in the char
acter of the questions at the Teachers
Examination on the 1st ult., and that
bookkeeping and surveying are recog-
nized as legitimate subjects for mental
arithmetic. Both subjects have been ut
terly ignored in the past; hope the Ex-
aminers will not neglect them in the fu-
ture. On little closer examination,
thought that two of the questions in mem
tai arithmetic would be more suitable for
children than teachers. In the 13 ques-
tions in written arithmetic, the third and
fourth might have been put SO as to
illustrate the important principle in
volved. The tenth and thirteenth are too
