SCHOOL TIME
FOUND THE MASTER READY,
But He Had Travelled Hundreds Of
Miles.

NEW YORK, December 22.-An Atlanta
special says: The people of Clsrksville,
Ga are very much exercised over the ar.
rest of w. N. Barker, who has for some
time been engaged in teaching school there
and had the respect and esteem Of every
person in the city. Barker's story is n
that has few parallels. A little more than
a year sgc be was visiting his good father,
q well-to-do farmer in Alabama. One
night the son, who is more than 80 years
old, mystsIiously disappeared, and 5000
in gold and silver from the old mans
safe disappeared at the same time. The
father, Isaac Barker, Immediately swore
ont O warrant sgainst his SOD, aud sent de-
scriptive circulars all over the country,
and the son himself could not be found.
The old man kept his money in an old iron
cafe, and the school teacher knew it. The
search was finally given MP. The old man,
having lost all his savings, began again ut
the foot of the ladder, and two months ago
he had $500 stored away in the old safe.
Ore night, about six weeks ego, be was
awakened, 40 it is charged, to find his son
standing by his led.
'Came back, have you?" he asked, rub
bling his eyes

"Well, / ought to have you arrested"
said the old man, losing bis temper. You
stole that money"
"How much have you got nowP"
The old man stared hard, and before he
had answered the question, his son had
seized him by the throat and thrown him
back on the bed.
"You boiler" said the scn, land Pll
kill you!"
Trembling for his life the old mau
promised to keep still, withdraw the war
rant and 20 give up all the money ne had
in the sIfe. He sat up in bed and watch
ed bis son take out the precious roll OF
greenblcks and sto them away in On
Overcoat pocket, and then listened to his
steps as he walked of in the darkness. II
was not until the morning that the old
man dared to tell of the second robbery,
then another warrant was taken out
against the school teacher and circular
letters we're sent put TO the police all over
the country. SctoolDaster Barker was
arrested yesterday in Ciarksville, Just

who is over eighty years old aud returned

JAKE AND CHOLLY

Knocked Out by tho Law In h First
Round.
CHICAGO, December 22.-Another step
was taken in the injunction suit brought
to prevent the police from interfering with
Kilrain and Mitchell in their public spar
ring contests at the Cssiuo, on the ground
that they are not sparriDg matches, but
merely exhibitions of the poetry Of motion
as taught by Delsarte. On application on
behalf of the city to-day Judge Altgeld
modified the mi junction by the addition Of
the words: But this writ is not to pre-
vent the defendants or other officers of the
law from dong their duty under the law
in case there shall be any violation Of the
laws of the State or OF the city Of Chi
cago."
Under this modification, Chief Hubbard
thinks he has the right to stop any spar
ring exhibitions which are in violation of
the city ordinances, and says in case the
management.of the Casino persist he will
not only arrest the principals but Mayor
Roche will revoke the license Of the thea
ire. Mr.. Hubbard adds that he proposes
to arrest the pugilists for violating the law
on the two nights on which they have
SPARED.

all his party were well, although extreme

Wadelsi was due to difficulties epcoun-
tered on the route, the expedition having
to make q long detour toward the north

tribes. Emin was then in q fairly good po-
sition, although some OF his Egyptian Off
GERS were grumbling and many of his
sellers had deserted. The kings Of Uganda

was Obliged in November TO repel preds'
