Something EyldentIy Wrong.

Yesterday morning when the pupils of two
schools in the Webster and two in the Gales
building went in school it was found so cold
in consequence of the defective heating ap-
paratus that the schools were dismissed. The
apparatus was put in by sOmerville & Son, and
has been the cause of great deal of annoyance,
the schools having to be dismissed several
times. The trustee in that division wrote
communication to the commissioners yester-
day, asking that the building inspector be
notified to examine and make q report on
their condition. Besides these four schools
there are four more closed on account
of having no teachers, one iH the
Gage, one in the Henry, one in the N street,
and one in the Abbott buildings. The teachers
were dismissed because they failed to appear
at an examination TO which they were sum
moned. The ladies were graduates from the
normal schools of Boston, aud were among the
best teachers in the Second division.

Death Of Venerable and Much Beloved
Priest.


Priest.
The news Of tho death Of Rov. Bernard f.
Wiget, $. j., was received in this city with
almost universal regret, for he was for several
years connected with Gonzaga college and st..
Aloysius' church. Fathcr Wiget was born in
Switzerland, and entering the order of Jcsuits,
he remained in his native country till the or
der was banished. Remaining n few months
in Germany, he came t0 this country and was
first stationed in Boston, and, coming here
about twenty-four years ago to ill the place of
assistant pastor of st. Aloysius' church, he
served as such some years. aud then became
pastor of that church and president of Gonzaga
college, filling these positions till about 1870,
when, having erected st. Josephs church, on
Capitol hill, he took charge of IL as pastor
and served it for about three years.
From this place he was transferred
to White Marsh, Anne Arundel county,
Md, and was instrumental in the erection
of a fine church in that ncighborhood, and
some five or six years ago was transferred to
st. Thomas's, where he died. Father Wiget,
rs stated aboye, was a chaplain in the hos
pitals and prisons about the city during the
war. lie was one of the spiritual advisers of
Mrs. Surratt, who was hung in the arsenal
yard for completely in the assassination of
President Lincoln, and with Father j. A.
Walter assembled tho scafold with her lIo
was n man of great kindness of heart. and
was dearly beloved by tho children of his
congregation. A delegation of tho Chapel
Point club has gone down to st. Thomas's,
where the funeral will take place this after
noon. number of his friends will go down
today.
