as the Grand Trunk can herself afford first

decision of the matter rests with Vanderbilt as
controlling the Nickel Plate between Buffalo

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.


A Prisoner Shoots a Turnkey Dead and
Escapes.
OIyUMwA, Ia, Jan. About IL O'Clock this
forenoon Turnkey Manning had taken enc
Williams, prisoner, out of the Jail to assist in
removing some carpets, and when in the act of
returning him to the corridor of the Jail,
where the rest Of the prisoners were confined,
Williams, who had been supplied with re-
volver. by some means, by an outside party,
suddenly grabbed Manning, and, pointing the
pistol at his breast, fred at him without warn
ing, the ball taking effect in the region of the
heart. Manning Immediately sank to the
floor, and expired within 10 minutes. Mrs
Chancey, wife of the late sheriff, Sam Chancey,
was in another part of the building at the
time, and, hearing the report of the pistol, ran
into the hallway to learn the cause of the
trouble She found Williams in the act of
lifting the staple from the iron door, and at
tempted to prevent his doing so, when he
pointed the revolver at her through the graf
ing OF the door, and told her, If she valued her
life, to go away Mrs. Chancey displayed
wonderful nerve, and tried to fasten the door
| even while the muzzle Of the revolver was
| thrust into her face, but the large bolt had
| fallen inside, where Williams stood, and she
was compelled to flee for her life, covered by
| the revolver. As she ran. she closed large
wooden door outside, but in moment Will
| liams had opened the iron door, and throwing
his entire weight against the wooden one,
broke the fastenings, and rushed out into the
| hall, where he met man coming in. He
raised his revolver, and frightened the man
| away. He then ran around the north side of
| the jail TO an alley, and, seeing lady in an
adjoining yard, he discharged his weapon full
| at ner, fortunately missing her, and then, with
| yell OF defiance, he few past her and dissp-
peared from view. Hundreds of men have
been securing the city and country in search
| of the villain, but up to 10 p. M. he had moi
| been apprehended. Should he be caught
there is not the least doubt that he will be sum
| marly hanged.

The Emigration Tax.
A Bill in Congress which Troubles stsans-
ship Men.
New York Tribune.)

By an act of August 3, 1882, per capita tax
Of fifty cents is levied upon all steam or sail
vessels for emigrants landed at United States
States ports. Mr.. Reed of Maine, has intro
duced in Congress a bill providing that this
act "shall not apply to steam or sail vessels
employed exclusively in the trade between
ports of the United States and Canada" The
bill is looked upon here by Steamship men as
discriminating in favor of steamships plying
between Europe and Canada, as against those
landing passengers at this or any other United
Line, said Tuesday:
"The bill of Mr.. Reed discriminates in favor
of the Allan and Dominion Lines If il should
pass, they could tranship the passengers they
now land in Canada, and send them by other
vessels TO this port, without being liable for
the tax. The whole tax business is discrimi-
nation, for they now send their passengers by
rail from Montreal to Chicago, aud to evade
the tax. Congress has got into ah abit OF tax
ing everything. They ought to pay a premi-
um on emigrants instead of levying a tax. II
it Is really desired to make this tax hit every
body alike, railroads bringing emig grants iato
the country should pay the same as steam
ships"
An inquiry on the subject addressed to Mr..
Reed has elected the following reply in writ
ing:
"The bill introduced by me, in relation to
the taxation Of emigrants, does not intsnd to
discriminate against any one. 1t is intended
to rectlfy this evil. Our steamers plying be-
tween the United States and Canada have
to pay head-money. The railroads do not.
think the bill confines itself to rsmedying this
discrimination against steamers II it goes any
farther shall be happy to modify it."

How Cox Lost a vote.

Interview in the Chicago Tribune (Kep)
Anything funny in the late speakership
contest, did you ask?" said prominent West
tern politician home for the holidays. "Well,
nothing in particular, but L must say that I
was much amused at the way new member
from the West squelched a lot of New York
ers. He was quiet fellow, and had never said
much, but was considered sure for Cox. When
the vote was taken he was found backing the
Kentuckian, and a'ter Adjournment he was
quickly surrounded by crowd OF the Cox
men, who proceeded to badger him for not
sticking to their man. He stood their abuse
awhile until they began to impose upon his
rural appearance. when he straightend uD his
long, lank form and in a rasping, cutting, ma
sal tone proceeded to explain his FIST vote In
Congress: "You see, gentlemen, some years
ago book-agent came to me, and after max
lug zde lose two or three meals got me to buy
the plaguey book, "Why We Laugh" and
when I got home I found he bad sold my vile
the same book. 1 started after him with
club, but couldn't flu him. Since then I've
lain for the author. l did'G find out till last
night he was your Sammy, but found out in

The Portland daily press., 1884-01-04

The general committee on instruction of this
society held a meeting at Brunswick, Monday
and Tuesday OF this week. Several committees
on instruction, represented at this meeting by
their chairman, were appointed by the society
at its annual meeting in Augusta, Oct, 1851
"these committees TO report at subsequent
meetings the kind OF instruction which should
be given, the qualities demanded in text books
suitable to be used in such insruction and, if
practicable, the names of particular text books
that seem to them to possess such qualities
At a later meeting of the society after some
discussion of the work of these committees the
following more matured plan of work was
adopted:
admitted essentials of the ends, methods and
means OF instruction in the branches of stndy
The ends of the study lin the final report of
each committe) "should be clearly stated in
short affirmative propositions, enforced or IL
lustrated if necessary by examples. There
should follow under methods brief directions
for teaching the subject, with general direct
ions as to how the work should be done by the
pupil, how the recitation should be conducted,
and at what age or advancement the pupil is
prepared to take up the different parts of the
work. Under means should be given the ap-
pliances necessary, and if possible the names
of one or more text books which seem best
fitted for the ends and met hods Of instruction
laid down. To this should be appended list
of books of reference with publisher and
price,"
To render the work of these committees
more uniform and effective, all the commit
tees were placed under the direction of one
chairman, who with these committees together
or with their chairman as their representative,
is to constitute a general committee on instruc-
tion of the Maine Pedagogical Society. AT
first only four committees we're formed:-1, on
language, including grammar, rhetoric, SC.
g reading and spelling; 3, mathematics, and
geography and history. Subsequently sepa-
rate committee on history was appointed, aud
| another on moral instruction" At the late
meeting In Brunswick. 1t was decided to rec
| ommend the formation of a new committee on
natural science, this TO Include physics, natural
| history, ohysiology and laws of health, &C.
| There are now seven committees, and it may
