THE new city council it is to be hoped,
will not be guided in their selection OF
marshal by the private enmity of indi
viduals against the presentn icumbent,
Hugh Morrison. We feel safe in saying
that no better man can be selected for
the place. He is always quiet ard gen
tlemanly, watches closely and never
makes his authority offensive. If the
boys of respectable parents do slight
wrong, the marshal is not in haste TO
make his authority felt, but sees the
parents and the boys are made to respect
law through home influences. Hugh is
never strutting around airing his author
ity, but the smart young people who are
anxious to show off to the inconvenience
of people who mind their own business,
find him always at hand. He shows no
favor and does his duty without fear.
This is written without knowing who
are candidates or whether Mr.. Morrison
is candidate himself or not, and without
knowing whether the city council is re
publican or democratic. We know that
Mr.. Morrison has made good, faithful
marshal, that he brings good, hard,
common sense to the discharge of the
duties of the Office and that large ma
jority of the people are in favor of his
election.

THE exhibition on Friday night of
work done by the pupils of the north
side school, so far as it is possible to
show it by means of written work, was
very highly creditable to pupils and
teachers. In hasty examination the
points one would be most apt to notice,
are the general appearance OF the work
and the evidences of system of which
the papers are evidence. The exhibition
of Friday night, in the particulars of
neatness and system left nothing to be
desired in the management of the school.
So much for superficial examination.
The work done calculated to show
cultivation of reasoning powers indicated
clearly outlined plan, and work done in
conformity with that plan in number
cellent feature and shows wonderful
progress in the short time in which it has
been taught Systematically. There was
some reason for regret in the rather light
attendance. Parents should improve
every opportunity to inspect the work
of their children and thus show their
sympathy with school work. Any evil
dence of indifference on the part of par
ents will be reproduced ten-fold in the
children. A parents interest should be
active, intelligent and critical. If moth
ers would devote as much attention to
the mental well being of their daughters
as to that absorbing preparation to meet
the demands of society, our schools
would be vastly benefited. During the
period of school life school work should
not be broken in upon by less important
matters.

THE FIGHT AT THE GEN.
The Hearing Last Evening-The
Varieties mt the Mayors Office.

Barney MclIugh and John Maguirt
| had Il hearing before the Mayor last
evening on Il charge Of creating a fight
at the Gem Theatre last Saturday
night.
The officers testified to their being
sent for, and the fact Of making the ar
rests. George II. Dutton stated that he
is the special officer at the place. Last
Saturday evening MclIugh and Ma
gnirc came in, and persisted in block
ing up the passage way. He asked
them to take seats, which they refused
to do, and McHugh seized him, while
Mcguire struck him in the face.
David Foy, the end man, testified
that he was on the stage doing his
"turn" when the fight occurred he
could not hear what passed between the
officer and the men saw some one strike
Dutton, but could not recognize any
one present as the man. A number of
other witnesses were examined, all of
whom testified that McHugh held Dut-
ton while Mcguire struck him. Mcllugh
crOsS-eXamined each one with II view Of
showing that instead of creating dis
turbance, he was doing all in his power
to prevent it.
There was quite a sensation in the
court when Mrs. Landis was called to
the stand. She testified that she is the
proprietress of the Gem Theatre at Fifth
and Walnut streets. Last Saturday
night the house was well filled with a
good audience, and everything went
along quietly until about 9O'clock when
the accused came in. At the time she
was on the stage king TO the end man,
and she had to mind her points.
She heard the officer tell the men that
they could not stand in the passage
way, and saw McHugh hold Dutton
while Mcguire struck him. She sent
for the police, and these young men
came to the box office door and de-
mandcd their money back, but the wit
ness told her husband not to give it to
item. They wanted II quarter each but
had only paid 10 cents. She concluded
her testimony as follows 81 keep IL
good moral show, and a cheap show for
poor people who cannot afford TO 20 TO
the high priced entertainments ; am
i'll ,hc show business to make an honest
living, and pay for my license but
'lpll ~ We Illul'S ua'h 10 any one.
The Mayor adjudgcd the prisoners guilty,
and imposed II fine of 81 and costs on
Mcguire and s. and costs on Mciugh.
George Bowers was then heard on the
charge of inclting to u disturbance.
Oicer Dutton testified that Bowers
came in after the disturbance was over,
and passed him several times. Each
time that he passed, he made some in
sul,ing remark. Officer Nickcrs heard
him say that he could knock more blood
ont OF Nu'ton than Mcguire had. The
Mayor adjudg"'i him guilty, and i'm
posed IL fine OF 80 rcuts and costs.

A special despatch from Fort Worth,
Texas, says: a despatch from Will
liams ranch says that at about two
o'clock this morning Il great meteor
fell in the outskirts Of the town, killing
several head Of cattle and destroying
the dwelling house of Martinez Garcia,
n Mexican herdsman, who, with his
family, consisting Of II wife and five
children, are buried beneath the ruins.
In its descent the meteor resenlbled a
massive ball Of fire, and the shock was
similar to that of an earthquake. 1t is
still hot and straming. II is embedded
in the earth probably 100 feet, and
towers above the surface about seventy
feet, and viii cover abolt one acre IF
ground.
The conclusion was terrific, nearly
every window in town being shattered.
People were hurled violently from
their beds, and goods in the Storehouscs
were thrown from the shelves. No
lives were lost as far as known, except
the Mexican herdsnan and his family,
although several buildings fell to the
ground. The cattle fled in terror in
every direction. The air was filled
with sulphurous gas. The widest
confusion prevailed, as it was n long
time before anybody could conjecture
what it was. This is the largest meteor
that has ever fallen, and it has already
been visited by many people, and will
doubtless continue to attract great al
tention for months to come 1t has oc
casionel great excitement, not only
here, bat all over the surrounding conn-

this County, and some of them have
been well known citizens of Whining

In 1879 Mr.. Snyder, who is naturally
inclined to pick up and preserve old
relics, conceived the idea of collecting a
list of aged ccntcnnarians and upwards,
and by FASTING the account Of the death
Of each in blank book, he now has, in
little over four years, such collection
that he values far above any ordinary
amount Of money, he having refused all
almost incredible price already for his
collection.
From 100 years of age as minimum
t" start from his collection runs up as
high rs lS1 years. Classified, he has
i,S that reach the age Of 100 years; 235
aged l0l; 81 aged lO2. IS aged 1903; Al

This list only includes those who
died two or three years before Mr..
snyder commenced gathering his list,
the larg" majority Of them within five
years.
The oldest Of these reported 1877 years
is II mularo woman in Brazil, and was
still living when Mr.. Snyder came
across his newspaper clipping.
Amongst those who passed the
ccntcnnarian period inMr, Snyder's col
lection are Dell Noblit and Ann

those living who have reached that age
is Ann Hardin, u colored woman, who

CURIEY NEXT.
The Trial OF Another Alleged Pho
nix PARK Assassin.

DUBLIN, April 16.-Daniel Curley
another of the men indicted for partici-
patton in the murder Of Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, in Phoenix
Park, on the 9th of last May, was placed
on trial in the Green Street Court house
this morning. DIR. Webb, Q. c., one of
the counsel assigned by the Court to de-
fend the indicted men, took occasion ut
the opening Of the trial to ask that he
be relieved from that duty after the
case of Curley is disposed of. The Judge
said in reply that he would & i've the re-
quest of DR.. Webb due consideration.
A servant girl, who was in the Park
on the 9th OF May, was the first witness
called. She fully identified Curley as
one M the men she saw in the Park on
that day.
James Carey was the next witness. -
He swore that, just before Mr.. Burke
was stabbed, he (Carey) heard him
telling Lord Frederick Cavendish about
the attempts that had been made to
take the life of Mr.. Forster. Carey ad-
mitted that he had been engaged in 20
attempts to take the life of Mr.. Forster.
He said he would not have called Mr..
Forsters removal n murder. He
also said that the conspirators had ar
ranged for the assassination on the 4th
Of May last of Lieutenant Colonel Hill
lier, the nspector-Grncral of the Royal
Irish Constabulary, and Mr.. Burke.
EFFECTS OF THREATS ON A JURY
PANEL.
The effect of the letter received by
the foreman of the jury which tried Joe
Brady, threatening that he would be
killed unless a verdict of not guilty was
found, was shown to-day by the fact
that, of the special jury panel called in
the case of Curley, there were fifty per
sons who failed to appear, notwith-
standing that they were warned that a
fine of IlOO would be imposed on each
absentee.
