Board of Education.

Various Appointments-High School Ex-
 cursIon Petftfon-SchooI Building Im-
 proyernenIs.
 The Board of Education held a meeting last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch (pre siding), Pond, Parmelee, Strong, O'Brien, Peck Harrison, Plunkett and Zunder. The minutes were read and approved.
 The Committee on Schools reported that the salary of Miss Southworth in the Orchard street school was to be $56O; that of Mary E. Gates iu the Fair street school $400. Miss Parmelee was appointed to room No. in the Center street school in the annex at $350. Elmira H. Day was appointed to the Quinni- piac school in the annex at $4OO. Carrie l.. Miner to the New Haven Orphan Asylum at $55O The committee were instructed to see what they can find for 8 teacher for the- oretic instruction in the new training school Mr. Zunder presented 8 petition signed by fifty members of the senior class asking for June 18th as holiday so that they can go to New London to see the boat race.
 Mir. Parmelee thought it would look like a Board of Education picnic and that the mat ter should not come before the Board. MT. Harrison thought it would be establishing a precedent that will have to be allowed for several years tO come
 Mir. Strong thought that if anyone should be injured the whole board would be censur ed and moved that the petition be denied. The petitioners were given leave to with draw.
 MT. Parmelee brought up the subjec. of changing the time of the opening of the schools in September. Mir. Harrison did not see how they could get in the POO days. Sep tember 1st is the generally accepted time for the commencement of business. Superin- tendent Dutton said he had been spoken to on the subject many times by various citi- zens.
 The Finance committee reported that &C., 900, the first payment on the new Vernon street school would be made Monday next. The preparations for the enlarging of the Edwards street school were progressing. The contracts are awarded to Bunneu s Sperry for the mason work at SC, 100, and to Warren Robinson for the joiner work for $4,S72. The matter of appointment of jan itors was passed over to September.

The Star Route Cases-Civil Suits to be
 Entered-Further Criminal Proeeed-
 inGs Against Brady and kenogg-Dor
 sey Threatening to Sue the Press.
 WASHINGTON, June 15.-The verdict ren- dered yesterday in the Star route case dis. poses of all the cases against Dorseys, Vaile and Miner. The original indictment found against them, and for which the one just tried was substituted, has practically been disposed of by the verdict. It is pro posed, however, to enter civil suits against them for the recovery of money improperly paid to contractors. There are still hanging over Brady four indictments, three of which are for conspiracy and one for receiving money while second assistant postmaster general for services rendered in relation to contract with the United States. Last April Brady was indicted, the charge being that he had received money from James B. Price for orders making allowances on several Star routes. On the same day ex-Senator Kellogg was indicted for receiving money while a Senator for services rendered in relation to 8 contract with the United States,' the charge being that he received money from Price for procuring Brady to make the orders for al- lowances of two routes. None of these in- dictments involve long trial. The indict- ments alleging conspiracy cover only 8 few routes The indictments against Brady and Kellogg allege crime of simple character which it is thought could be proved or dis proved in a very short time. The Kellogg case will be called in Judge Wylie's court Monday next, when the defendant will be ar- raigned MT. Merrick said to- day when ask ed for information about these cases t'I have no information to give now, but the cases will be pressed"
 The late Star route defendants and their counsel still keep up their jubilation. Ex-Senator Dorsey and Colonel Ingersoll were serenaded at their residences by the Republican Towpath club (colored). Speeches were made by Senator Dorsey, Colonel In- gersoll and Judge Carpenter. Foreman Crane and Juror Horrigan spent the even ing at Colonel Ingersoll's where they receiv ed quite an ovation.
 Ex-Senator Dorsey expresses determina- tion to enter libel suits against those papers that have criticised him. He says: 'If God gives me strength and I have money enough intend to go for them, especially the New York Times"

The policies could, however, have done him
 no good even had he remained alive, since
 they had already been transferred
 to creditors who have already presented
 them for payment. The body was lowed to
 the foot of Dikeman street where bis business
 cards were found in his pocket and the re-
 mains were recognized by his friends and members of his family. He had been miss ing just week since Timothy Casey, Her aid pressman, jumped into the river after him and succeeded only in recovering his hat. That he had contemplated suicide for several months is probable, since he had paid two premiums on policy of $1O.0O0 and on policy of $15,OOO at 8 rate of $70O year. Both risks were taken by the Mutual Life, the suicide being in splendid health and his business standing being such that the amounts of the policies attracted no atten- sion. The condition of his business and home relations does not even yet show any reason why he should have taken his kfe and the insurance people say that If he proves to have been financially embarrassed it will be he first time that man was known to kill himself in order to pay his debts.

Forgery and Gambling Contracts.
 CHICAGO, June 15.-In the case of Edward Magill, indicted for forging the name of his employers, H. McCrea & Co.,, commission merchants, to contract to sell ten thousand bushels of corn, Judge Barnum today in- structed the jury to return verdict of not guilty on the ground that said contract contained among it's provisions one that the entire contract should be In accordance with the rules of the board of trade. The courts have previously decided that these rules show such contracts to be gambling ones and hence Judge Barnum held that as it was void contract there was no legal forgery. The decision is of great impor- tance and interest to the commercial commu- nifty in general.

A Sensation i'm Court - Perry Belmont

A Sensation i'm Court - Perry Belmont
 Calls Counsel Liar.
 NEW YORK, June 15.-A very exciting scene occurred in the Devoy libel suit when MT. Costello asked MT. Belmont what was his name and where was he born. Mr. Bangs objected to the question and MT. Costello re- torted, s'We may be in position to prove that his name is not Belmont.'' The witness sprang up angrily in his chair and shouted ''You lie sir, you ie!" A sensation ran through the audience and the greatest confu- sion ensued, amid which could be heard the sound of the judge's gavel rapping for order. When the witness had testified that he never owned newspaper nor inspired an article in paper, the question as to whether he had ever had another name was raised by Colonel Spencer, who said that he wanted to give MT. Belmont an opportunity to tell about his name and asked if he would swear that he never went by any other. s'I will explain" replied MT. Belmont, s'that I was carried away into using an expression which could not help, but which is exactly true. I bear the name of my father and my grandfather honorably borne" He continued in em- phatic terms, 'sAnd mean that wish was twenty years younger and not holding po- sltlon of trust, then no man. should insinuate that my name is not Belmont"
