l.l52 girls. The number OF colOred pupils
enrolled Ia the city WAS 923- 1856 boys and
537 girls. t1.
Tho number OF white pupils enrolled in
the country schools was 3l0--l9l boys and
lly girls. and the number Of colored pu-
plIs l,S7s-677 boys and 1Ol girls.
NEARLY s. 900 PUPILS.
The total number OF pupils in the city
schools was 3,2l0, and in the country
schools 1858, making total OF djo9o in
the entire county. Ils+7
3 The average number belonging to the
schools was 4,015, and the average attend
ance 3.572
The cost per capita per annum on the
total enrolment was $40 10. The cost per
capita for the year on the average num-
Der belonging to the schools was Sl3 40.
The superintendent urges the impOr-
lance OF adding TO the general course of
study music and drawing. These studies,
once regarded rs merely ornamental,
and therefore restricted to those who are
able and willing to pay for luXuries, are
now embraced in the category Of natural
branches, and occupy prominent place
In all the schools OF the country.
Abiding to the school buildings and
equipments he suggests, in view of the
rapidly increasing population OF the city,
the necessity for new school buildings.
The extension of the city southwark will
require the organization OF grammar
school of six grades. He also calls at
tentlon to the necessity for new furniture
aud equipments as adjuncts to class work.
After general review Of the years work
the report closes with a reference to the
high character Of the schools and their gu
periOr advantages for mental training
that are equaled in few cities Of the entire
country.

The warrant was placed in the
hands OF Constable Endres, VINO
executed it aud levied on some
liquids and other articles IN the
possession OF Lutz at the hotel soon
after, on the morning OF sept ., the
Bellevue MOTEL was burned, and
considerable portion Of the property
levied on by the constable was
DESTROYED. As Lutz failed TO
repleyln the property by giving bond the
officer on Friday filed a petition for an
order to sell the goods. some OF which
were liable to deteriorate In value.
The defense claimed, in Directing 10 the
granting OF the order, that, although JUS
tice Molina. as a Magistrate OF Chatham
county, had right 10 issue the distress
warrant, 10 was necessary that 1t should
be placed in the hands OF constable OF
the district IN which Lutz lived at tie
time the warrant was issued, and that the
warrant should be returned 10 the jus
tees court of that district The plaintiff
claimed that the officer Of the Magistrate
who issued the paper had "A legal right b.
execute il. The plaintiff also claimed
that unless the defendant filed counter
affidavit and repleyined the property 10y
giving bond, which was not done in this
case, it was the Magistrates duty TO issue
the order for the sale. The plaintiff main
tanned that there was really no issue IN
the case without the necessary counter
affidavit and bond by the defendant. IN
the argument both sides cited numerous
Supreme Court decisions. The Magls-
trate reserved his decision until to-day.
The plaintiff was represented by j. j.
Abrams, Esq. and the defendant by Rlch.

AssAILED IN A BARBER SHOP.
Howard Williams Encounter with
Vicious Amazon.

Vicious Amazon.
Cries OF help and murder from the
closed barber shop Of Henry Ernst, on
Drayton street and BroughtOn street lane,
at IL O'Clock last night, caused no little
excitement in that neighborhOod.
In q few minutes crow1 had collected.
Policeman McCabe tried to obtain admit
tance to the shop, but the door resisted
his efforts. In the meantime Mr.. G. X.
Reilly, who was sleeping in the upper
story of the adjoining building, bad been
awakened by the calls for assistance and
hastily dressing ran down to the second
story and opened a window overlooking
the yard in the rear Of the barber shop.
The rear door OF the shop was open, and
standing with his back to the yard fence
was Howard Williams, a medum-sized
mulattO, seemingly blinded by blood that
covered his face. He was apparently
powerless to free himself from a medium
sized black woman who held him in her
grasp.
The woman had Williams pushed up
against the wall and was slashing at him
with a knife or razor. Mr.. Reilly cried out,
''Pll be down in a minute" and while he
was making his way in the dark the woman
ran through gate leading into Brough-
ton street lane and escaped. BY this
time Mr.. Reilly and the officer succeeded
in reaching Williams, who was badly
used up.
The woman had broken nearly all
the stone splttOons in the
shop over her victims head, and when he
retreated to the ward followed him up
with a knife. Williams was taken to the
office of DR.. p. IL. Coker, colored, who
gave the necessary surgical attention.
His Injuries are serious, but not danger
Gus. Williams is married man, and at
the police barracks pretended That he did
not know the name OF his assailant.

TWELVE YEARS OF SUFFERING.
Death of Mrs. bridget Conner ut Daw-
fuskIe Island Lighthouse station.

Dehtn or MRS. bridget conner NJ raw
fuskIe Island Lighthouse station.
Mrs. Bridget Conner, wife of Patrick
Conner, keeper of the Dawfuskie island
lighthouse, died yesterday morning at l
O'clock at the lighthouse station. Her re-
mains were brought up to the city in the
afternoon by steamer sent down for that
purpose.
Mrs. Corners death was caused by dis
ease contracted through exposure and in
iuries in a shipwreck nearly twelve years
ago. The story OF the disaster and Mrs.
Corners miraculous escape from a watery
grave was told at the time in the MORN
ING NEWS. While going from this city
to Dawfuskie, on April rs, 1874, Mrs.
Conner and a colOred man who was SAIL
ing the boat for her were upset on Grena-
dine snoal.
Both were thrown into the sea, but man.
aged to recover the boat Everything on
board was lost, and having no oars they
dritted about the sound, and finally out TO
sea. The boat was upset several times,
but the occupants managed TO regain 1t.
The day and night were passed on the
ocean, and when morning came land was
out OF sight. The negro died during the
day from cold aud exhaustion. About /
O'Clock In the afternoon of the second day
bound to Florida, sighted the
boat and rescued Mrs. Conner, who,
with the dead body OF the negro, was
taken on board. The steamer then changed
her course for Dawfuske island, and re-
stored the exhausted lady to her dis
tracted husband. The accident occurred
on Saturday morning about s O'Clock, and
Mrs. Conner was picked up on Sunday af-
ternOOn, having been in the boat without
food, water or shelter for 30 hours. The
injuries she received from being knocked
against the sides of the boat and washed
out, and in getting into it again, resulted in
a disease from which she never recovered.
She bore her long years Of suffering with
Christian fOrtitude ana resignation. Mrs.
Conner was q native Of the county Of
Waterford, Ireland, and was in her 6lst
year. She leaves, besides her husband,
two daughters, Mrs. w. j. Thompson and
Miss Maggie Conner, and many friends to
mourn her death. The funeral services
VIII take place this morning at O'Clock
at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual
Helm.
