The lady's name was Ann Coleman and she
was the daughter of proud, wealthy citi-

was elected to congress, and the next long
session was continued far into july, whan he

A professor of Cambridge. who is con- sidered the first mathematician in England albeit pious divine and man of staid character and devOut habits. happened to be taking his constitutional on the banks Of the river at the time of a recent boat race. The river is narrow \ dexterOus movement of the tiller when the boats are side by side will often decide the race by driving one of the competitors too near the bank. Well, the learned and pious cnurchman. having sauntered to the river side just as the boats were passing watched them for a moment with a Cau face. some old memories of by-gOne ton tests rushed into his mind-the struggle rred his blood: he was seen Co clenCh hi, fists and tO walk with firmer tread He followed the boats for few paces.

School House Case.
Settled at Last-The Contractor Ex'
 honorated.

Settled at Last-The Contractor Er-
 honorated.
 The school house case is too well known m this community to need much preliminary explanation. It will be re- membered that two grand iuries investi- gated the construction of this building, and both found fault with it, but neither succeeded in attaching the blame with sufficient certainty to hold. There was a balance due J. W. Dougherty which was not settled by the old school board, and which the new board refused to settle except at the end of law suit. Smt was therefore brought by the con tractor, Mir. Dougherty, for the balance, amounting we believe 10 something over Sl3OOO. and during the past four weeks the time of the court has been consumsd in c, nsideridering this case. Much evi- dencs has been taken both pro and con, snd nothing has been omitted that would throw any light upou the case. Messrs. Hereford X Lowell, Haynes < Stiles, ap- peared for the contractor, and Judge Hoover for the trustees. There has been a good deal of loose talk made about the construction of the school house by those who knew little or noth- ing about its construc ion. Much of this talk was caused from the converse ton of various parties with the architect, who may or msy not have been compe- tent 10 i'll the place; but there is one thing certain and that IS If he had de- voted more time in overseeing the work, and less in street talks. his part would have been better performed. The Court Tn rendering the decision in this case, stated that at the outset owing to the ad ierse reports of the two grand iuries and the strong prejudice expressed against the contractor of the work, the Court wa inclined to the belIet that the ,ntractor wa. at fault, but after a com ple;e investigation of the case, the Court was free to say that the entire transac- ton SO far as the contractor was con- ceruei, was creditable and showed his ability as builder, and disposition to comply with the contract, and If there was any blame 1t belonged to the archi- tact and trustees. The Court will issue a written opinion in the case after the sitting of the supreme court which takes place at Phenix next week.

Win Judge FItzgeraId-The Court Gives
 some Impressions fin the Case.
 The CITIZEN reporter called on Judge Fitzgerald to-day and obtained bis im- pressions in relation to the school house case, which is summed up as follows: In his judgment the contractors had sub stantislly complied with their contract. so far as it was possible to do under the plans and specifications as furnished by the Board of School Trustees. As to the materials used Tn the construction of the building, that was entirely eliminated from the investigation by the terms of the contract, which WAS admitted by the counsel for defense; that the only ques- iIons iR contr rOversy were workmanship and extra work; that the extra work for the foundation and attIc, which were the largest items. were expressly auth orized by the Trustees of the School Board; that the additional extra work, according to the preponderance of evil dence, grows out of the plans and spe- cifications and defects. It was admitted by counsel for the defense that the
  Doherty himself and under his imme- diate supervision was done in work manlike manner and that they, the de- fendants. had DO fault whatever to find with il; that the condition of the pla-tering snd-speaking especially about the ceiling of the auditorium, about which tue present complaint arose, according to the testimony of the experts, Messrs. Culver and Bab cock. who were selected by both parties and were disinterested and impartial was a workmsnlike job and composed Of material in accordance to the specIti- cations and that the damage done and of was wrought by these changes; that whatever insecurity there ever was or may be--the court IS not to say that there IS any-csn- not be charged 10 the contractor.
 The preponderance of evidence IS that he work was done Tn sccordsncs to the plans and specifications and where these plans and specifications were doubtful and defective, was by direction of the architect and Board of School Trustees
