State Board of Education.

Allen requested to have the following, rel
alive to his action in the acceptance of
Kinne's Readers, spread upon the minutes !:
Tshie State Board of Education GENTLEMEN:
respectfully ask that | may be permitted to
place upon our records in connection with the
| action adopting readers, the following: In my
opinion the adoption of the Kinne Readers, as
submitted 10 us, for use in the public schools or
this State, is a long step to the rear, and have
| done what could, by voice and vote, 10 prevent
! the adoption of a series Of readers which, be
| lleve, are so imperfect or so poorly adapted TO
| the wants of the schools of the State.
CHARLES II. ALLEN.
The request was allowed, and Professor
Aliens protest will go down as matter of
record through all ages.
The Board instructed the Secretary to
expend from the appropriation OF S20O00
such sums as fhay be necessary for postage,
kilograms, express and other incidentals,
presenting vouchers for the same for the
approval of the Board.
Professor More moved that the Secretary
be instructed to forward TO H. c. Kline a
copy of the general resolution under which
all manuscript and copyrights are accepted,
and take such steps as may be necessary
to secure to the State the copyright and
manuscript of the three readers offered by
him and accepted by the Board. 1t was
carried unanimously.
The subject of arithmetic was taken up
at the afternoon session. Letters from
Frank Morton, George Bates and Joseph
O'Connor relative to work submitted by
them were read.
Consultation with the State Printer who
was present, was then had. after which it
was ordered by the Board that paper for
the readers shall be not less than fifty-six
pounds to the ream, and that the size of
the readers shall be uniform, measuring
5x73 inches outside of the cover, and that
the binding shall be of cloth. The ques-

Shocking Accident.
About P. NJ. yesterday Geo. G. Heisch,
an old resident of the city, for several
years proprietor of a coffee and spice store
at Tenth and 1 streets, but latterly en-
ployed at the railroad works, met a terrible
death. His occupation at the works con-
cfs IN I'll
used in cutting scrap-iron into small
pieces. About the hour mentioned, an
other man, who has charge of the machine,
stopped few yards away for some pur-
pose, and in a minute saw the belt trimming
the cutting machine fall off He turned
around and discovered Mr.. Heisch caught
between the ponderous gear wheels One of
these wheels sets about four or five inches
inside OF the other, and their rims overlap
The upper part of the unfortunate mans
body was caught between the wheels, his
hands raised over his head. He was dead
when discovered, and death had resulted
so quickly that he did not have time to
utter a cry. a small quantity of hair and
blood on the key fastening one of the
wheels to the shaft showed that his head
had been forced against it. Assist
ance was summoned Immediately, and
it was found necessary to use Jack
screws TO raise portion of the machin-
cry before his body could be extricated.
How the accident happened is a mystery,
but the most reasonable supposition is that
he stumbled over something while moving
towards the machine, fell forward upon it.
and raised his hands to try and protect his
head as he fell. 1t may have been that the
bar of iron he was . feeding" swung him
around and into the machinery, but the
position of the bar when he was found
does not warrant the theory
Coroner Clark will hold an inquest in
the case this evening. The only severe in
jury that is noticeable about the body is to
the left arm, which isnearly severed above
the elbow. Death resulted, doubtless, from
the internal injuries consequent upon his
being crushed.
SUDDEN DEATH.-Early yesterday morn
ing B. r. Croker and some of his en-
ployes, accompanied by Hiram Hubbard,
rode up the river on the Yolo side. Mr..
