The annual report of the Training
School for Nurses only differs from its pre-
decessors by showing that in the twelfth year
of its existence its usefulness has been greater
than ever before. Thirty women received
diplomas yesterday showing that they were
properly qualified to nurse the sick. But thiS
is by no means all that the institution mas ac
complished. 1t has served as model a1ter
which other schools at home and abroad have
been established; and some of its graduates
have gone into foreign lands, where there Is
much demand for their intelligent aid A
record like this promises well for the future oil
the School.

Colonel Lamont is reported as informing some
body in Washington that Mr. Cleveland had not
offered O Cabinet position to any person. This
piece OF news will doubtless stimulate to renewed

be willing to in the Cabinet rather than see

Some idea of the beautiful pleasure grounds
which this city will possess when the scheme of
LAYING out new parks in the annexed districts
is nut into execution may be gained by the
perusal of an article in our local columns con-
cerning Pelham Bay This charming spot lies
up the Sound, toward Glen Island, and in
addition to many natural advantages has been
greatly improved by the residents. To throw
open such place to the residents of this city
would be to add immensely to their health,
comfort and prosperity.
information from England shows that good
deal of what Phelan has said concerning his
movements in that country and in Scotland is
true. and that Short, his assailant, has long
been actively connected with dynamite pro-
ceedings. Clews for the police to work up
seem numerous, and it is to be hoped that the
Inspector's detectives will not neglect them.
Moreover. here is q chance for them to do some
skilgul work and prove that they are superior
to the London police, who have so often failed,
under similar circumstances, to find out any
thing.

The bylaws of the Board of Education have
come into collision with the statutes OF the oia.e
of New York, and have been conslderapiy sp'ih'
cred. The Board discharged colored teacher
last May, under bylaw regulating the num-
Der of teachers proportionaiy to the attendance
of pupils. Justice Lawrence holds that II was
the plain intention of the Legislature TO con-
tinue in the ward and primary schools the
teachers before employed in the coored schools.
Therefore the laws of the Board of Educatioh'

after that point. But 1t is impossible to READ
the testimony against them without hoping that
either at home or abroad they may be properly
punished, unless, indeed, they can MAINTAIN
their innocence. The story as told against these
men is one of revolving cruelty, resulting IN ine

COUNCIL AND ALDERMEN.

The Council met last night in special session.

The mayor reported fees and fines collected

of November amounting to $347,55.
communication was received from the Po-
lice Commissioners presenting a bill for $40 from
Denny & Elliott, city attorneys, fees for defend
ing members of the police force from various
prosecutions. The communication asked the
question whether the police department is enti-
tied to the benefit of the services of the city at
torneys as other city departments are, or wheth-
er it is the desire of the Council and Board of
Aldermen that the metropolitan police depart
ment shall make its own arrangements for the
management of its legal matters.
The mayor moved that it is the sense of the
Council that the bill of Denny & Elliott, for
services rendered in defending various patrol
men, should be paid by the Board of Metropo-
ltan Police Commissioners out of their contingent
funds. Carried

THE PHILLIPS MURDER TRIAL.
The States Effort to Overthrow the Plea
Made by the Defense.

The trial of the wife-murderer, Robert j.
Phillips. was continued in the Criminal Court
yesterday, the prosecution calling in rebuttal
several physicians conversant with mental dis
eases to destroy the insanity theory regarding
suicide. It has been the strength of the defense
to prove that all persons who kill or attempt to
kill themselves insane at the time of the act.
Phillipss attorneys claim that the killing of his
wife and the desperate effort he made on his
own life Immediately after the murder, proceed
ed from the same insane impulse. They do not
attribute this altogether to frenzy of jealousy,
but to condition of mental unsoundness caused
by sunstroke Both the murder and attempt
at suicide they want to establish as tho result of
insanity free and simple, which the State con-
tests by setting up the separate motives Phillips
had in committing both acts. The killing of the
wife, 1t is urged, was through jealousy, and that
the cutting of his own throat was either on &C.
connt Of remorse for the murder or of willing
ness to sacrifice himself rather than chance pun
ishnent by hanging or life in the penitentiary.
For the prosecution Drs. Newcomer, Todd,
CARRIER, Maxwell and others testified that when
| a motive is absent. insanity might enter into
the act Of suicide. If strong motive is pres
ent that OF itself would be sufficient to account
for self killing without insanity on part Of the
suicide. AS to sunstrokes, their testimony was
that such accidents did not in all cases have a
serious permanent effect on the mind. DIR.
Todd was twice Frustrated by the sum- and on
one occasion lay unconscious for twenty four
hours. He had fully recovered FROM both DR..
CARRIER said that when in the army he was dan
gerousy ill for time from the effect of the sun,
but did not suffer from it now. Other incidents
of this character were related. Friends and &C
quaintances of the prisoner, people who had seen
him in daily association, said they never saw in
him anything out of the way mentally His
mother was unwilling to say he was insane
Thus equipped Prosecutor Harding began
his opening speech to the jury. His
review of the evidence was very clear and forc-
BILE, the speech in several places being noticeable
for its strength of illustration and eloquent ap-
peals for just punishment of the murderer
Touching upon the motives of suicide he i'm
pressvely pictured the events that drove the
banker. Ralston, to escape disgrace by throwing
himself into the sea- He also referred to emf
nent generals philosophers and statesmen who
sought suicide from motives in no wise akin to
| insanity. Scott Turner, the colored attorney,
followed for the defense After this argument,
the court adjourned until this morning
