TnR BRIDGEPORT SCHOOLS.

A Reply from Kirkwood to the Insinua-
tions in the "Intellisencer."
Eiitor Register.
A wrong impression may obtain from
the version OF the Bridgeport school
Question, as given yesterday morning in
the Intelligencer Bridgeport locals, and
we wish to add word on the other side
OF that question. That correspondent
says the proposition for $4,000 for a new
school house in Kirkwood "is being OPP
posed in quiet, cunning way" We
know of no opposition save that which
is candid, manly and we'll founded, and
thus far we have heard no argu-
ment that can answer that opposition.
The talk OF "over crowded, poorly
ventilated" rooms finds full, ample re.
ply in this, that there are but three
rooms in the present Kirkwood school
building that are in the least over.
crowded. and when the Etnaville
school house is enlarged las it should
te) to a four.room building, and four
4oom school house is built at the West
END las it should be), the over crowding
in the primary rooms OF the present
building will be relieved. 1t is but the
question OF few years and our little
growing, thriving city will be for neces-
sity divided into wards, and schools for
each ward of course will be demanded.
Is it not prudent to meet that demand
now? Kirkwood now has her quota
OF pHblic improvements in this dlrec-
ton. Etnaville and the West End
have rights that should be respected.
Esnaville school house is crowded now
with l05 scholars in one room and
pantry. They must have relief il the
SIS 600 school house is built in Kirk
wood or not. The growing wi.
lage at the w. G. G. Co. mines
will soon be asking admission
t. our corporation and consequently to
our educational privileges, West End
school house will furnish them school
facilities for their smaller children, while
the Kirkwood building is reserved with
abundant room for higher grade scholars
from all parts OF the district.
While the propositions to be voted
upon to day deserve an EN- phatic no,
any proposals to build a school house at
the West End and to enlarge the one at
E,naville will meet with solid, hearty,
yes, from every voter who has a child
TO educate. or pays taxes, or don't love
Kirkwood above any other ward or sec.
ton of the town.
1t is an unfair reflection that any citi-
zen OF Bridgeport is so mean that he
would vote no on the abstract question
Of building a school house because OF
the paltry sum of taxes it would cost
him.
II the School Board appoint COM
mittee consisting of members OF that
body and of citizens, to confer and re.
commend on this question, as was done
in the planning and appropriation for
the present building, land like action
was taken by Council on the street
light question: the people will gladly re-
spond amen! to any judicious &c.
ton.

AN ILLINOIS HORROR.

An Insane Asylum Fire-Terrible Battle
with Patients who Desired to Burn with
the Building-Only One Life Lost.
ANNA, ILL, April ia fire broke
out in bath room on the fourth floor
OF the north wing OF the Illinois South
ern Hospital for the Insane, located in
this place, at ll:SO last evening. After
getting the patients out, efforts were
made to stay the progress OF the fire, but
as the building has mansard rooi, II
was not until the centie OF the building
had been reached that by the almost
superhuman efforts OF the employees and
citizens the fire was mastered. Three
patients were discovered in room in
the second story OF the north wing en-
tirely surrounded by fire. The throng
upon the ground witnessed their efforts
to burst through the grated windows
with breathless excitement. Finally
a ladder was procured and placed near
the window OF the room. Although the
flames were around the ladder, three
men started up the ladder but were
forced by the heat 10 retreat. One gal
mt man named Grace ran up the ladder,
threw an axe into the window and com
manded colored patient named Nelson
to cut his way out. He simply threw
the axe away. Again it was given
him aud the crowd below, with one
voice, yelled to him to cut the grating
loose. This he did and escaped. Grace
again showed courage by reascending the
ladder, and going into the room now
ablaze and with walls tumbling in
on every side, and after hand to har d
struggle with a patient, who was nearly
dead from heat, but desperately deter
mined to stay in the room, Grace forced
him headlong through window, and
parties outside caught him. Grace in-
hailed the heat and suffered intensely
ai,erward, but is not in danger. A pa
tient from Monroe county named Ferkle
was burned to death. These patients
were all taken from cells, but in some
way wandered back. Three fire com.
panies from Cairo arrived at $50 and
are working upon the ruins. The Super
intendent, DIR Wardner. is in Chicago
on business. The loss is estimated at
$l50,0O0. Only the patient Ferkle is
missing.

Opening of the Monetary Conference.

PARIS, April l9.-The international
Monetary Conference was opened this
evening BY Barthelemy st. Hilaire,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who well
coined the delegates and said If the con-
ference didn't achieve immediate success
it would at least have raised controver-
sizes, which are indispensable to the dis
c.ve'y OF truth AMI established prin-
ciples, which will bear fruit in the
future.
On motion OF Mr.. Evarts, Delegate
Magnin, the French Minister of Finance,
was elected President of the Confer
ence. Magnin, in the opening address,
reviewed the different phases OF the
question, and showed the inconven.
fences which the system established in
1867, OF a gold standard with silver as
a transitory companion, had brought
about in Germany. He dwelt on the
recommendation in favor OF bi-metallism
by q Commissioner Of the United States
Congress in 1876. He explained the
causes OF non-success OF the Monetary
Conference in 1873, as regarded the ob.
iects OF the present conference. II was
indispensable, in order that silver shall
regain its former value, that it should
again be freely coined side by side with
gold. He said ne hoped the deliberations
would show that international bi.met-
allism was the only system capable OF
restoring monetary regularity in all
parts OF the world. 1t was not ques-
ton oil discussing treaty by which
some would gain and others lose. 1t
was simply question of forming in good
faith and with knowledge OF the sub
ject decisions equally favorable to all
parties.
He concluded as follows: 1--WE in no
wise claim to impose our opinions on
others. All systems can be put forward
and be freely discussed"
The conference then proceeded with
the for nal business OF organic alton and
appointed committee to report at the
next sitting OF the conference.
Fifteen States are represented: Ger
many, Austria, Belgium, Denmark,
Spain, United States, France, England,
Greece, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Russia,
Sweden and Switzerland. English and
Italian delegates have not arrived.

THE RIGHTS OF STRIKERS.
The Denial of an Injunction Agains
Striking Iron Molders Confirmed.

The Denial of an Injunction Against
Striking Iron Molders Confirmed.
ROCHESTER, n. Y, April l9.-Lsst
October the iron molders OF the Johns
town Harvester Company, at Brock.
port, struck for an advance in wages OF
25 per cent. The company asked the
court for an injunction restraining the
striking molders from influencing the
new men coming to the town against
entering the employ Of the company,
either by moral suasion or threats. by
combination or individualiy,a AS such pro-
ceedings interfered with the plaintiffs
business and kept 500 men from EN-.
ployment. Judge Macomber, at special
term, denied the motion TO continue the
Injunction, and, among other things,
said that orderly cooperation was per-
United by law. He traced the history
OF this form OF combination to secure
and protect wages, and was unwilling TO
extend the doctrine OF recovery for the
peaceful enticing OF free agents, such as
these men were, they not having con-
tracted for service for any stated period.
He said there should be- no legislation
beyond such as protected both parties
from violence, trespass, and against
breaches OF the peace. Aggregated car-
ital had tendency to induce the COM
bination OF labor TO prevent capital from
disturbing its relationship TO the detri-
ment OF labor. 1t was for snch reason
that trades. unions were organized, and
for such reasons WAS it that their policy
could on principles Of political economy
be recognized and sustained. The laws
OF supply and demand should govern
the parties. The field opened to both
parties was wide.
This opinion was sustained by the
General Term here to-day. The Court
said: "The acts, not controverted, to
restrain which an injunction was asked
for, did not constitute an evasion OF any
clear right OF property vested in the
plaintiff. 1t did not appear that such
acts, whether done or threatened TO be
done, resulted, or would have resulted,
in irreparsble injury TO plaintiff, ana
the discretion OF the special term, in re.
fusing to continue the injunction. was
properly exercised" The case is one OF
great Importance to all working men
and employers. II will be appealed to
the Court OF Appeals.

About two o'clock he became comatose

since his illness they failed to produce
effect and it becsme evident that death
was imminent Lord harrington, DR..

moned. Five minutes before he expir
ed breathing became slow and gentle,
face very placid, hearts action and
pulse continued. A few minutes after
breathing ceased to be apparent Friends
and nurses continued round the bed q
few minutes after the pulse ceased. As
the end was 30 quiet il was difficult to
realize that he was dead.
The evening edition OF the Standard

ing.
The executors OF Lord Beaconsfield's q
will are Sir Nathaniel Rothschild and
Sir Philip Rose.
Earl Beaconsfield will be buried by

At least, it is understood, this was bis

the action OF the Democrats was simply

nlan. which had proved so successful in
manv States south OF the Mason and

(the Demoerats) had failed to do by pre-

AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS.
A Truant Husband who Escaped Enocf
Ardsn's Experiences

CARBoSDALR, PA April l9-Jerome
Wilson, brother OF DIR. K. b. Wilson, OF
New York, and OF Henry Wilson, pro-
prietor OF the Honesdale Citizen, left this
city fourteen years ago yesterday. Civ.
ing no information OF his wanderings,
nothing was heard OF him until his re.
turn here yesterday. He was given up
as dead years ago. His wife believed
him to be living, and remained true to
him. His daughter, two years old when
he left home, has grown to womanhood.
1t was some time before they could be
convinced that he was the long-lost hus-
band and father. Wilson spent his
years among the Indians in the wilds
of Texas, and has made fortune.
