brought lis the second "limcstonc" cgg
found in his fathers yard, where it was
dropped by ono of their hens. The first
was found carly last spring. There is GER
tainly something very peculiar about the
formation Of these eggs. They appear to
have but little inside of the she'll and the
latter seems to he an eighth of mn inch
thick, with n ridge formed around it about
half way between the large and small ends,
and the shell is rs hard rs limcstonc-thc

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The New York stock market opened
strong and active, and advanced TO II per
cent. in the carly dealings, mainly on sup
porting orders. After 1890 o'clock the
bears made an evident prearranged attack
on Lackawanna, and by free selling of
that stock frightened many of the more
timid holders into unloading. Their selling
aided in weakening its price, and by noon
the decline In 1t was fully per cent. The
decline in the rest of the list ranged from
to . per cent. Since midday the market
has rallied fractionally, and is now steady.

Tho Commissioners Again Define the
Powers of the Trustees.
The Commissioners this morning
sent another letter to the School Board,
asserting their authority to control the
school matters and giving an opinion of
Attorney Riddle substantiating their
position. They give the following cx-
tracts from the attorneys opinion in
speaking of the trustees powers and
duties:
"They are of the highest character, deli
cate and important and per-
tain quite exclusively to the working power
Of the educational machinery, which they
neither supply, maintain or repair. Upon
these important matters, supply and repair,
their action cannot be but advisory. %
Whatever is necessary in the way
of classification Of pupils, grading
schools, numbers to each teacher,
hours of assembling and length Of session,
the whole matter of discipline Of schools,
ers and methods Of teaching, the course of
study, the books to be used and, perhaps,
other matters pertaining to the welfare of
the schools, are among the powers and
duties Of the trustees.n
This language of the attorney, the
Commissioners wish it distinctly un.
derstood, they adopt Us defining and
limiting the powers and duties of the
trustees, and as forming the basis upon
which the schools, in their opinion,
must be conducted under the provisions
of the act of Congress referred to.
