William Fl. Weightman, consulting engineer. APP
peared before the Dock Commissioners yesterday Oh
iehalf of John Z. Walsh who has been making
efforts to have his plans approved for constructing
bulkbead wall at decreased cost TO the city. lie
was told that whenever the Department ceased to
construct the wall a Contract would be regularly
advertised aud let to the lowest bidder.
Complaints were received that the STRENGTHENING
Bureau aud the railroad companies were dumping
all kinds of refuse in the rivers claiming that 1t was
snow and ice; and resolution was adopted thst
tho permission given the several corporations and
10 the Street Cleaning Bureau to dump ice and snow
in the river be Immediately countermanded, ana
that the watchmen be instructed to inforcc the
order. -
K. j. Cortis agent of the White Star, John g.
Dale of tie Inman. and William ii. GuOn. OF the
Ciuion Lines of steamships, requested the Board ["
modify ITS resolution ordering the removal of mer-
chandSe from the newly made ground on West.st
Mr. Cortis said that if the merchandise stored there
had to he taken to the sorehOnses It would seriously
affect the commerce of tie port. lie had been told
by coEsgnees that they could get their goods by
way of Boston, and have them anshppcd to the
West just as cheaply as by way OF Ncw-York; and
if the expenses to shippers and consgnees were IN
creased by the Board. co Ipelling them TO store
their goods it would be detrimental to the interests
of the port Commissioner DimOck believed that
the subject should receive more consideration by
the Board. 1t resolved to extend the time for
removing the distractions to thirty days.

nT Observation-Disclosures are evil

Is Observation-Disclosures are evil
IDENTITY some very bold thieves in this
community, and there should te an
effort made to rid ourselves OF them. A
few nights ago chamber occupied by
three ladies', at the residence of Mr. Jas.
N. Rightstine, one mile north Of town.
was entered by burglar, and upon the
awaking of the ladies the burglar made
his escape down stairs and out of win
dow. 1t is supposed that he had Sc
GREETED himself iu the house before night
fall.
On Wednesday night of last week,
some one entered the residence OF Rev.
J. c. Bowman, in this place. Rev. Is.
knew nothing of the intruder's visit nn-
til the next morning when Ee arose.
and in looking for his pantaloons dis
! covered they had been removed from
| his bed chamber to room below, ana
! also discovered that some small change
| had been taken Aom the pockets.
Luckily he had placed his watch ami
money under his pillow before retiring,
and also had placed some money in the
bank during the day. He is under the
impression that the burglar entered his
house by climbing up upon the back
porch, as the lower doors renamed
locked phe next morning as they were
the night previous.
On the same night some one entered
the resideuce of Mr.. Joseph Welshans,
postmaster, after midnight, by way OF

sE The Teachers Institute for this
comfy convened in Charlestown on Mon
duy lat and was opened at p. M. by Mr..
81. Is. Mccain of Wheeling. Nothing was
,ipne the first afternoon except ehrollhS
the Teachers ami assigning subjects Tor
The next day. There were about on teach
srs In attendance and Mr.. !. W. Latimer
WAS chosen Secretary.
On Tuesday morning the exercises were
opened with some brief remarks on the
methods of teaching the Alphabet by sc'-
eral members Of the Institute. The Con-
ductor then gave his method OF teaching
history. The programme Is not very
CLOSELY adhered 10 and from what we can
gather from the teachers i'll attendance,
they have been, thus far, not much bene-
ftsd. They have been disappointed In
not having an opportunity to brighten up
on the several branches. They are Al
ready familiar with the theories and meth
ods usually taught in Institutes and lad
down in books, but what they wanted was,
by actual work i'll questioning and an
,wering, TO learn the subject matter ana
zee how the different teachers taught The
branches named To their classes by gong
through with the operations. III "ord
they wanted knowledge of subjects, not
methods altogether. They expected the
exercises To fit them in some measure for
the examination that is 10 follow the In
s;itute, which the school law places imme-
diately after the Institute with that view.
II teachers do not gain knowledge by at
tendance upon these Institutes, 1t is an
imposition upon them ~ compel them TO
attend and spend their meager wages In
this way.
