ALMOST A FIGHT.

SceDs ar tine Meeting Of faO School
Boards Committee ON TeacheFz
Last Fight
The School Boards Committee on
Teachers held another meeting last
night, and decided upon the teachers
appointments 10 be recommended to the
Board at Its meeting Monday evening.
The question Of chairman did not enter
into the business of the evening.
The trouble among the teachers Of
School No. Is which has already been
mentioned in these columns, was dis
cussed, and, In order to have q better
understanding Of the matter, the COM
mittee sat and heard the versions Of
the former committee Of that school,
Messrs Grimshaw and Fairy. The
present committee Of the school,
Messrs. Lally and Lannan, were also
present.
In his statement of the trouble DR..
Grimshaw said that the old committee
had taken great pains to examine into
the affair and 10 find out the truth Of
the charges which all the teachers with
one exception, had made against the
principal. They had found slight in
discretions on each side and had recon-
mended that the teachers and principal
try and get along smicably in the
future.
Mr.. Lally, when DR.. Grimshaw had
concluded arose and took exception to
his (Grimshaw's) view of the case, as
he thought the principal should not
be sustained. "Your investigation
was nothing but a farce" concluded
Mr.. Lally emphatically, addressing DR..
Grlmshaw, "and you did nothing but
brow beat the teachers. There was not
thing fair about it.
DR.. Grimshaw at once lost his temper
as we'll he might, not only at the
charge but at the insolent manner in
which 1t was made. He advanced
step or two toward Mr.. Lally and
Numbered out, "what do you mean,
you contemplate hound. Do you
mean 10 charge that would brow-beat
and insult a lady"
Everyone expected scene at this
juncture aud the two men certainly
were angry enough to come to blows.
Nothing of that kind, however, took
place, and DR.. Giimshaw went on to
defend the action of the committee Of
No. Is. Concluding he used words
something like this: 81 can say moth
ing else than repeat that you are an i'll
bred contemplate hound"
Sand you are id hound" in
terjeeted Mr.. Lally vigorously. With
that DR.. Grinshaw took his de.
parture, not caring to handy words
with the gentleman from the Third
Ward.

TANNER GAINING WEIGHT.
Feeling Well ana Enjoying His
Ride In Central Park.

K10eD IN CentFaA EnEA'
DR.. Tanner weighed 1863 pounds
yesterday. When his fast began he
weighed 1871 pounds. His lowest point
has been 1873 pounds. He has gained
81 pounds since he began drinking wa
ter. His explanation is that the water
enters the tissues and thus adds
TO his weight. His face has lost the
color it had few days ago and nov
presents a lesthsry appearance. His
eye is clear and bright, aud when he
learned this morning that the carriage
was at the door to take him to Central
Park he bounced from his cot like q
man in full health. Professor Wark
said to-day that some days ago he about
gave DR.. Tanner up, but now he
thinks tn at be will go through his
forty days fast all right. DR.. Tan
ner expresses himself as being
confident of success. He was ask
ed to-day by q lady whether his
relatives were not anxious about him.
He replied: 81 had tried to keep the
matter secret from them," and added
that some of them had found 1t out,
for he had received a letter from his
sister since beginning his fast
He took another ride in Central
Park this afternoon. While rid
ing he sets upright as any healthy
person would sit. In the evening he
appeared to be feeling well. All his
symptoms are better since he began
drinking water. When asked concern
ing the secret Of his ability to endure
fasting he answered: 81 keep tight
rein on Tanner"

MaryIand's Pet Regiment.

The Philadelphia North American
says for the first time in some years the
Fifth Maryland will again 60 into camp
at Cape May. This favorite regiment
once made it a rule to 60 to the Cape,
but last year they were compelled tc
60 to Ocean City, the appropriation re-
quiring that they should encamp
within the limits of the State. This
year, however, they again return to
the Cape, where they have always en-
joyed the ten days rest. They left
from the Union Depot, Baltimore, 400
strong last night, and arrive lat the
Cape in the morning.
