next week 7 1 don't think I have been
treated with full courtesy by the Board in
this matter. I called the meeting for this
morning and yet only one or two members
came to my office.
The Chair.-We knew nothing of the
new situation of affairs until we reached
town this morning. When we got here
we found Mr.. Jordan with telegram
from the State Superintendent telling him
to hold his office, and with $11 200 OF the
School funds in his pockets, sent him as
the recognized Superinte ndent. We SIM
ply have acknowledged higher authority
than yours, but through no discourtesy to
you.
Mr.. Roller.-I cannot make out my re-
port until meet the County Board.
At this point the conference adjourned
and all left.
THE COUNTY TREASURER ACCEPTS ST.
PERINTENDENT JoRDAN's DRAFT.
A reporter of the INDICATOR, on Tues
day, asked Treasurer Mcfarland If he
would acknowledge the draft for $11 200
if presented by Superintendent jordan
The Treasurer repliedsthat he had already
accepted it and given receipt for it, as
Mr.. Jordan came to him in the direct line
of authority from the State Superinten-
dent which he was bound to recognize.
MIR. ROLLER APPLIES FOR A
MANDAMUs.
Our reporter also called on Superinten-
dent Roller at his Office, Tuesday. Mr.. Rol-
Ter informed him that desiring to settle the
matter, and have the schools opened as
speedily as possible, he had petitioned the
Court of Appeals for mandamus in the
case of Augusta county that morning, and
hoped the court would give its opinion at
an early day. BE said he had not gone to
attend the meetings of the District Boards
which he had called to meet him, because
it was evident the Trustees did not intend
to recognize either Superintendent till the
court settled it. He was going on with
his official work as usual, and expressed
confidence that the court would decide his
to be the legal commission.
TO BE HEARD NEXT THURSDAY.
The Court of Appeals yesterday morn
ing in the case of Mr.. Roller made rule
qaisi and fixed on next Thursday morning
to hear argument, at which time Messrs.
Roller and Jordan through counsel will
submit their cases to the court.
The County School Board which meets
this morning will probably postpone &C.
ton until after Thursday.

men as Samuel Brown in Virginia that
held the church together in this storm of
fanatici SIN, while in Kentucky and Ten
nessee it split. The Cumberland Presbyte-
i rian church grew out of 1t.

Fanaticism had now died out, but

THE CIVIL WAR

lowed by no wave Of infdelity as had
followed the end of the Revolutionary war.
This was greatly due to the fact that the

ern army-Lee and jackson, were men Of
J religious life and example, and their ex-
ample had happy influence throughout
the army. The church too. looked after

sermon:
One hundred years ago to-day, said the
speaker, an assembly of minister and ruling
elders, met in this house to erect Lexing-
ton Presbytery. Probably, the assembly
of the people was quite as large as that of
to-day, for, though the country was sparse
ly settled, to the people of it the Presby-
terrain church was their church as it had
been the church of their fathers, The
eleven ministers who that day occupied
these seats we're John Brown, William
Graham. James Mcconnell, Archibald
Scott, John Montgomery, Benz. Erwin,
VIM. Wilson, Moses Hoge, John McCue,
and Samuel Harmon.
Five Of them were without charges.
Moses HOge was then On the South branch
OF the Potomac.in Hardy county, and VIM.
Graham was teaching at Timber Ridge.
John Brown was pastor of New Provl-
dence and was not the Samuel Brown who
came there later. John was pastor Of this
church in 1853. and was the first Modera-
tor that Lexington Presbytery ever had.
OF these eleven ministers, three became
distinguished. William Graham was placed
at the head of school at INT. Pleasant -
near Fairfield. The school was afterwards
removed to Timber Ridge and the rector
house and log school house were still
standing in 1888. This school was finally
removed to Lexington and became the
germ of what is now Washington q Lee
University. Graham was a theological
teacher of great repute and President of
Hampden Sidney College.
Archibald Scott was pastor of Bethel.
Foote tells story of him to the effect
that when Tarleton. the British General,
came on his raid to this section, Scott
excited the youths to arm and 20 with

Knocked From a Train.

Thomas Fite, a bridge carpenter
from Parsons, Kansas, was brought
to the hospital yesterday in helpless
and critical condition. Two weeks
ago Fite while passing the water tank
at Harrington, Kansas, on top of a
caboOse was struck OH the side OF his
head by the water spout and knocked
down an embankment. The fall
caused dislocation of the spine Just
below the shoulders and the conse-
quent paralysis of the entire body be-
low the waist. His physicians express
the opinion that he cannot recover.
This is the second ease Of dislocatiOn
of the spine brought here within a

brought in Monday is no better.

BUTZ' BAD BREAK.
A PestiferOus Peanutter PLAYS
the Change Racket Once
Too often.
Conductor Parsons Calls His
Hand and Holds a Full
Flush.

Perhaps there is no annoyance to
the travelling public greater than the
constant liability of being feeced by
the unprincipled youths who infest
the trains in the shape of news boys
and who seek the occupation for the
sole purpose of taking advantage of
the opportunities it offers for swind-
ling. OF course there are man
honest, trustworthy news boys, b.
there is large number who ar,
otherwise and who have
brought the business into such dis.
repute that it is an even question as
to whether the public will not be ben
Gifted by disseminating the calling
altogether.
One of the favorite games of thess
schemeIs is to robe passengers< by
the change racket. That is to indie
the unsustecting victim to give them
large bills for small change,
and by dexterous manipulating
; manage to give them from FIVE to ten
dollars less than they receive. If the
swindle is discovered the rascal
generally escapes as travellers have
not time to stop on the way to prose-
cute.
A FRESH CASE
occurred, however, last night on
Conductor Parsons train, No. I54,
from the south which promises to
teach, at least one of the detestable
class lesson. On the train was DR..
Jas. A. Templeton, an old gentleman,
on his way home to Melville, Wis, =
from Corecana Texas. The news
boy on conductor Parsons train is =
CHARLES BUTZ
a young and rapid member of the
fraternity. Frequent complaints and
Betz own actions have for some time
caused conductor Parsons to suspect
him and he has as consequence kept
his eye on him. Last night he no.
ticed Butt changing money for DIR.
Templeton and after he had gone ask.
ed the doctor if he had received the
right change. The doctor replied
that he had.
"You had better count it again."
said Mr.. Parsons as be passed on.
Returning shortly after, the conductor
found the doctor in an alteration
with young Butt, and the latter in
the act of transferring the $50 bill
back to the doctor and receiving his
$40 IN change. At that moment,
however, a well-known railroad detec-
tive
sPRANG UPON BUTZ
aud took from him both the $50 and
the $40 and placed him under arrest.
When the train arrived in Sedalia,
Butt was taken to the calabOose and
DR.. Templeton proceeded to Sichers'
hotel intending to remain and prose-
cute the young rouge, though the lat
ter importuned him not to do so. 1t
is to be hoped that DR.. Templeton
will carry out his intention, as it is
high time some of these young thieves
should be made an example of and as
court is now In session most
excellent opportunity for doing so is
presented in this case.
