THE NEW SCHOOL Law.
Opinion of tbs County sapsrtatrnde:t
SS to It's Merits

Ed. INDEPENDENT: - Through the
courtesy Of Superinterd mt &. 5. Young,
1 have received IL copy Of the School
Law enacted by the last Legislature.
and in my judgment the Act is defective
and practically imperative for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First. The second and third subdi-
visions of Section =, are vague and un-
intelliSiblc-to me Mt leHst-nS | AIN un-
able To determine what action. If any
Ii required III those districts which have
three Trustees, elected and qualified to
hold Office for either two OF four Years
from January /, 1885. The second sub
division is as follows: In rev schoo!
districts, nrin ease ola vacancy in mn Old
one, the School Trustee shalt be elected
TO hold Office for one, two and three
years respectively. from the first dry of
September next succeeding their elrc-
ion" From the foregoing how can We
determine what action. if any. Is to he
ttEcu in old districts where there are
no vacancies?
Second. No provision is made i'll this
Act for filling vacancies which might be-
occasioned by II failure on the part of
any school district to elect Trustees on
the second Saturday i'll May. as provided
in Section 2.
Thrill. Tn Act fails to state when
this law shall take effect and be in force.
consequent, we cannot determine
whether it is intended that the election
shall take place in May 1855, 1855. 1857
or at amy future period.
Fourth. The enforcing Of Section -
would work Il great injustice i'll this
sparsely settled county, where there are
little communities. with from seven to
nine c"n>Is children, who. under the
present law have established school dis
tric,s and with the school money allotted
10 them, together with individual sub
scriptiuns, are enabled To conduct good
sch"ulS for FROM four to six months in
each year; whereas, under the new law
they will he deprived q! all share in the

A Fearful Accident,

PARIS, June 11.--At Theirs, town in the
Department of Puy-de- dome, a murder
trial has been in progress for some days.
Yesterday, the last day of the trial, the
Courthouse was crowded with men and
women anxious to witness the closing
scenes. When the people were leaving,
Immediately after the adjournment
OF the Court, and were jammed
upon the stone stairway leading to
the street, the lofty staircase fell. The
scene that followed was appalling. I'm
mense masses Of masonry from above
crushed down on the struggling people be-
low, grinding through their flesh and bones
and manning and mutilating them in a
horrible manner. The fall of the staircase
and the shrieks of the people lying helpless
in the ruins caused panic in the Court
room, and there was a rush for the now
wrecked exit. Those who were in front
were unable to withstand the pressure from
behind, and were hurried down upon the
men and women crushed in the fall of
the staircase, and whom the peo-
pie in the street were already striving to
rescue. When at length the panic had ex-
hausted itself, and the immense stone steps
of the fallen stairs had been removed,
twenty persons were taken from the ruins
dead. A later dispatch says that the dead
number twenty -four, and fully 1853 persons
were injured. Many of the injured are
women and their wounds are of a serious
character. OF the wounded fourteen are
very seriously injured, and some of them
will die.

A TUNNEL COLLAPSES.
Construction Force Buried-Six Lives
Known to Have Been Lost.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June 11.-News of
q terrible catastrophe at New River Tun-
mel, on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad,
one hundred miles from this city, has just
been received. About half past six O'Clock
this evening north bound construction
train, having about fifty hands, left their
work and started for New River. AS
the train was passing through the
tunnel the walls gave way and fell
with terrible crash. In an instant
the air was filed with shrieks and groans
OF the dying men. Just how many are i'm
prisoned in the tunnel can not be learned,
as there was no list kept of the men. AL
ready the bodies of three who were crush
ed to death have been removed from the
debris. Three more are known to have
been killed. The train was in charge of Road
master Simmons, who is missing, and is
also believed to have perished. Out of the
fifty men on the train about twenty or
thirty remained unhurt. The remainder
were more or less injured. A large num-
Der are fatally injured. 1t Is impossible to
secure later details as the wires are down.
A force is atwork removing the debris and
clearing the tunnel.
