MODEST HER0IsM.
An Incident of the Dynamite Explo
sion Hitherto Suppressed.

New Troy, Fla, May 81. To the
Editor. DEAR S1R:-I noticed lin the
BEE a few days ago an item In reference
to the finding, some distance from town,
by a couple of members of the aldermanlc
investigating committee, of a warped and
lonesome looking car coupling, supposed
to be a relic of the great Rock Island ex.
plosion of 1885," What recollections a
relic Of that memorable day bring to one
of the lieutenant, who was into all
the affairs of the day, prearranged
and accidental, head over heels !
One Incident of heroic bravery connected
| with hat terrible exposion, which, but
for the knowledge Of employees as to
what was In the car, and their prompt
action in giving the alarm, would GER
tainly have resulted In many horrible
deaths, occurred that was worthy of ex.
tended notice, but which was not mad Q
public at the time because of the well
known modesty of the hero, who bought
up myself and other nosing ruminators
for news and secured silence. The in
| cid emit occurred to q gentleman, after
| the car was well on FIRE, and while every
one who knew the destructive contents
were waiting and watching for hef to go
up and make kindling wood
and small scraps of ev-
erything near by, rescuipg a toddling
youngster from certain death. The little
one was wabbling slowly toward the limo.
cent looking magazine Of deadly destruc-
tion, when the gentleman seeing 1t and
expecting every second that the explo-
sion would occur, dashed up the track,
past the burning car, and, snatching up
the innocent child, hurried it out of dan.
ger, and had just set 1t down In a place OF
distant safety when the car, giant pow
der. buildings, tracks, etc, flew In all
directions. With a full knowledge of
what was to occur at any instance, l say
the act was one of bravery and genuine
heroism, and 1 never altogether forgave
Jerome McClintock, tn. g~entlemanly and
%unassuming freight agent of the Rock
Island, for he was the hero, for buying
me off to keep 1t out of the paper, thus
spelling q nalf column breeze.

arrested having some carpenter tools in
his possession. These tools have since
been identified a. belonging 10 Chris
Bosen, and the fellow will o have to
stand trial for larceny, the grand Jury
having his case In hand.
There seems to be a great variety Of
opinion as to how Judge Conner will de.
eide the question raised in the injunction
cases by attorneys for the defendants.
Both sides express themselves as conf
dent. The decision will be given next
Saturday, when Judge Conner will be
here again, ready to hear anything more
that may be offered in the cases. In the
meantime there Will be nothing more
done.
A man claiming to be q stranger in
the city, aud giving the name of George
Smith, was brought up before Judge
Aylesworth yesterday morning for being
drunk. 1t appears he was found In the
coal shed In the rear of the county court
house on Monday night sleeping off the
Ill effects of his drink, and on being
brought up before the Judge denied the
charge. Witnesses were seat for and
his fine was thereby increased to $40. 80:
although he had 1886 on his person
when arrested he refused to pay the fine
until after shackles were fastened onto
him, previous to being put on the streets
to work his fine out. Then he wilted
and paid.
The opening of the gambling houses Ia
said to be due to the fact that q number
of the business men urged the mayor to
let the places run, at least through the
races. If they are properly conducted
there may bs no attempt to shut them
up again, but they will certainly have to
be conducted on far different principles
than those which have been acted on In
the past. The mayor says that when
they were shut up before there was a
good deal of talk about their going to tell
some disagreeable things about him, but
he thinks there has been time enough to
tell any such things, and now personally
he feels that he has shown that he is not
afraid of any squeal, or other action, on
their part, and he is willing to have them
run, If the people want them to run.

The TArT1xn spoke plainly but with eau

The TAxTlEn spoke plainly but with eau
ton about the villainous prostitution of the
public school system by some members of
the Board of Education. 1t spoke, too, to
an intelligent constituency of school teach
ers, who misconceived nothing that it said.
1t is utterly needless for as to say that
we did not attempt Of design to brand the
ladies who teach in the public schools with
suspicion, and we could not have done it if
we had tried. There are some women in
charge of the classes in the public schools
who should never be entrusted with the
training Of the young idea, but we are
happy to say thsy are few indeed, and the
vast majority=-all, with the few exceptions
to whom we rsfer-of the ladies in the de-
partments are above suspicion sans peur ct
sans rsproche. But all this does not modify
in single respect what we said last week
about some members of the Board of Edu-
cation. There, too, there are gentlemen
whom this comm unity honors and respects;
but it is none the less true, as we said last
Sunday mor4ing, that persons "have been
known to seek election to the Board just
for the control it gives them over the young
ladies' who teach in the schools" and that,
a. We then also said, sssome of the members
have been known to boast that not few
Of the ladies hold their places and achieve
their promotions not wholly because of
their skill and capacity as instructresses. ("
It is not fortnight since boast of that
kind, couched in the most offensive and
vulgar language, was made by one of the
Board in public place in this city. An
other elected to seat in the Board retires
under cloud and young lady teacher
is under cloud, too. Around the name
of third any quantity of scandals cluster.
These fellows bring disrepute upon the
whole system that is in their care. 1t is in
the interest and for the protection of the
countless pure and modest and in every
respect model women who teach in the
schools that we protest against the longer
continuance of these lustful villains in
Office. Let them be wiped out. As we
said last week, Mayor Collins, if the recon-
struction Of this Board be entrusted
TO his hands, win give us repub-
lican Board, but 1t will be made up of gen.
tlsmen of spotless reputation and of the
highest character Party is of no conse-
quence as compared with the correction of
such evils. Every young lady connected
with the public schools, who has father, a
brother or an uncle, o lover or husband to
vote, should see to it that he has inscribed
on his ballot, next Tuesday, the words:
sBoARD OF EDUCATION AcT ACCEPTED"

It goes almost without the saying that
the editorial references in last Sundays

gether too few and far between,
