Meeting OF the Maine Pedagogical socie-
ty at Bucksport.

BucKsPoRT, May Is.
The session OF the Maine Pedagogical Asso-
citation this morning was opened with prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Trip Of Bluehill.
In the absence OF Prof. Harper OF Farming
ton, who was to present the fist paper on
"School Discipline" the first hour was spent
In the consideration Of report on obstruction
In Spelling" from a committee appointed at
previous session OF the society.
Rev. A. W. Burr, Of Halowel Classical
Academy, chairman OF the committee, took
the chair and the report was presented by Mr..
Corthel, of the Gorham Normal School. Mr.
Corthel criticised the learning of long col
umns OF words from the spellng.book which
are meaningless to the pupil He advocated
discardi ng the spelling book, at least in graded
Schools and the learning Of lists OF words
within the range and experience Of the schol
ars, selected from their studies or prepared by
the teachers from the vocabulary which the
scholars have. lie said no scholar should
learn to spell q word until he has occasion to
use 1t. Oral spelling was criticised, and the
ne cessity for learning the spelling OF words by
writing them in connected sentences was
urged. An interesting discussion Of the sub
ject followed, and Mr.. Corthell was frequently
called upon to answer inquiries.
Mr. Tash, superintendent OF schools, Port
land spoke OF some Of the advantages of oral
spelling as an aid TO the memory, and means
Of arousing emulation and enthusiasm among
the scholars, particularly in ungraded schools
He mentioned HarriDgtons speller as the
most practical OF any now before the public.
Mr.. Burr advocated the spelling OF words
from reading lessons from Vicar OF Wakefield,
or some other work having large number Of
familiar words.
President Fernald of Orono spoke Of the
need OF enlargiug the vocabulary by learning
to spell words not already known to the
scholar
O. @. Rounds Of Pennington presented the
advantages of spelling lists OF words on specific
| subjects prepared by the scholars themselves,
| and the helpfulness OF careful reading
At 10.45 Mr.. l.. G.. Jordan OF Lewiston,
| president of the society, took the chair. F.W.
Foster of Castine was elected secretary pro

Engineer Klgores Disobedience OF Or
ders the Cause of the Accident.

AUGUSTA, May 19.-This afternoon the cor
oner's jury on the dead bodies of the three
men killed in the collision at Vassalboro, on
the Maine Central railroad, Friday, held "a SIS
sion in this city. Nine witnesses were called
and examined, among them being the train de-
spatcher of the Maine Central Mr.. Walker,
station agent at Augusta, and men who be.
longed to the cclliding freight train. The tes-
timony was all in one direction, that the disas-
ter was caused by the neglect OF Albert Kill
gore, engineer Of the special engine, TO follow
the rules of the road, and his rashness in run
ming his engine beyond Augusta on another
trains time. The jury rendered verdict as
follows:
We find that the death of Albert Kilgore,
George Estabrook and Charles Small were
caused by conclusion and injuries received in
collision with a special engine aud freight ira in
NJ. 2S, of the Maine Central Railroad Compa-
ny, at Arey siding, near Browns Corner, in
the town of Vassalboro, on the 18th day Of
May, A. D., 1888, at about the hour OF II
o'clock, noon; that said accident aud collision
was caused by said Albert Kigore neglecting
said special rules and orders of said CO npany
to their employees. They find said company
were not at fault, and should not be censured.

News from Gen. Crook-His Advance
Not Pleasing to Mexican Commands.
SAN Francisco, May ia Tombstops
special to the Evening Chronicle says the fol-
lowing Information direct from headquarters
OF the army operating against the Indians, is
dated Oposura, Sonora, 18th inst On Tuesday
evening last courier arrived from Bavispe
with communication from Lieut. Sarras stat
ing that Gen. Crook reached there on the 9Th
with 200 Apache soldiers and 100 American
and Mexican troops. He obtained guides from
military commanders of the town TO conduct
his force to where Garcia had his late fight.
Next day be departed from the Sierra Madres
via Guacheria. The command was aceompan-
led BY forty pack mules laden with provisions
to last long period. The main body of
Crooks force numbering 500, camped at Ala
mohueco, twenty leagues from. Janose. 1t is
stated had Lieut.. Sarras been consulted with
before he obtained guides none would have
been furnished, on the ground that Crook
entry was violation of the treaty Crook
made all his preparations deliberately and has
the sympathy OF the Mexican population. By
return scourer Colbrand, now commanding,
wrote Crook demonstrating in courteous but
decided language that his action was an in
fraction OF the treaty. Neither Bomadata nor
Garcia, lately in command, have received iE-
structions as to what Crook by consent of the
government may be permitted TO do Bandaia
says he will oblige all American military
received the news of Crooks arrival az Ba-
vispe he took immediate guard against the In
dians making another raid If they are driven
out OF mountains by Crook. Many famil-
lar with tn Apaches state that Crook will not
be able TO find the Indians if they learn of his
approach, as they will scatter into small bands
and hide in the impenetrable fastnesses. 9th
ers confidently state that Crook will not be
able to bring them to fight because the In-
dians have exhausted nearly all their ammu-
milton in Garcia's fight.
