Features of the Convention Yesterd

Features of the Convention Yesterday
 HARTFORD, Oct. 19.-At the State Teach- ers' convention to-day in the High school section, the first paper was by Mrs. Sarah E. H. Lockwood, of the New Haven High school; subject, "English in the High school" |" It was discussed by Principals Whitmore, of New Haven, and Baitley, of Bridgeport. Prof. Dwight, of Vassar, presented paper on 'Natural history in High schools" and made an earnest pleo for reform in the meth ods of teaching science. A very interesting discussion of the paper was made by Prof. Morrill,, of New Britain. Prof. Harper, of Yale, in 20 minutes talk impressed his hearers with the importance of the induc- tive method of teaching language. He was energetic, and aroused much enthusiasm.
 In the grammar school section, which was held in another part of the building, this programme was followed: "The newspapers in schools, /" an essay by Prof. F. H. Beebe, of the Williamantic High school; geography and United States history was discussed by F. E. Bangs, principal of Wooster school, New Haven; paper on "General exercises in grammar schools" was read by J. B. Mo Lean, principal of McLean's seminary, Sims bury.
 In the ungraded school section these pa- pers were read: Organization of Ungraded Schools" Thomas Latham, principal at Gales Ferry; "Writing, Classification and Methods" Miss Edith M. Todd, Training schol, New Haven; Kindergarten Work in Ungraded Schools" Miss c. W. Klingins, Normal school, New Britain; ''United States History in Ungraded Schools" Walter s. Parker, principal Everett school, Boston: Drawing in Primary Schools" :" Miss M. G. Fenn, Normal school; "Steps in Language" {" Miss Edna O. Lines, Dwight schoal, New Haven, Miss Fl.

MURDERED BY HIGHWAYMEN.

VI D D A Brutal Attack From Ambush on n
 Paymaster and Nils Guard-The As-
 sassins Get $I2,OOO.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa., Oct. 19.-J. B. Mo- Cure, paymaster on a braRoh railroad which James McFaddsn is building near here for the Lshigh Valley, and his assistant, Hugh Flanagan, were murdered to-day and robbed of S12, ,0O0 They drew the money from the Wyoming National bank at 10 o'clock, $11 = 5s5 being in bills and the rest in specie, and drove in buggy to Miners Mills, where they turned of up 6 rough mountain road. About @ mile from the town is a loaely place, the road being bordered with pine trees and brush. Here it is probable they encountered the robbers. Three shots were fired at Flanagan, one passing through his heart; another went through his neck and passed out between the shoulders and third struck him between the left eye and ear The horse ran away and Flanagan tell from the buggy to the ground. Two more shots were then fired at Mcclure, talk ing effect in his back, when he too fell, but caught on the step and was dragged nearly half a mile. Another shot was fired at Mo Clure which entered his left eye and tore off the top of his head. When the robbers came to FIanagen's body they struck him on the forehead and crushed his skull. As Mo Clure's horse WAS spirited one it was i'm possible for the first robbers to overtake him but 6 third person at the top of the hill shot the horse as he came up. Five other shots were fired into the horses head. The rob- bers then took from the buggy the valise con- taining the money and escaped to the woods. The bodiaa. were found soon after and the alarm given, but although officers and volun- teer have been securing the woods all day the murderers have not been arrested. Flan- agan was 50 years old and quite we'll to do; Mcclure was % years old.

] go and congratulate her." This is the pre-. Jude and plot. The angels file out and the King ot monkeys comes on. It appears that he and his tribe are to climb 8 mountain in
 search of peach that will give immortal lie, as present to the Goddess of Mercy
 S On this is built display of aorobatio feats Dy 1orty or more gymnasts. The director or
 prompter stands in plain sight of the audi
 ence, and disputes arise at intervals as to
 what shall next be done. The performance
 Is stopped at such time until the squabble is
 adjusted. The athletic part of the pro-
 gramme ends with the falling of a couple of
 the men from the box over the stage, they
 being skilfully caught by those below.
 This is the introductory of festival play g1von by every theater once 8 year. After various scenes similar to those of American spectacular pieces, sans the ballet, the mon- keys return with au enormous peach that is laid at the feet of the Goddess of Mercy. It divides in the middle, disclosing a child holding 8 scroll inscribed: "A thousand grandsons, and still thousand more, and so on to eternity" A white curtain is hung at the front of the box overhead to represent heaven, and to this the goddess and her train ascend by an ingenious stair, guard re- maining tc watch the gate, this being the end.
 Attend some other and different play. | There is tremendous pushing and chatter ing about the box office But every one brings the exact change and there is not much delay. When 8 box. or s'room" is taken the intended occupants name is posted eonspicuously upon it. The performance opens. The stage blares with red and gold costumes and lights. There is a procession coming through red cuT6ained door at one side and going out the other. This signifies an audience with the emperor. Then his troops engage in terrific battle with the forces of some unruly vassal. Everything goes with rush and the orchestra keeps up horrible din. A messenger from heaven stands on chair and sings in shrill falsetto; 8 fairy fish rushes in, and after high pitched recitation darts out, and the king. with his painted face, rages in passion, pulls at his feathers and threatens all his subjects with extermination. there are not many natives who see In the performance much they can understand. All the characters use dialect calculated to \ be strange to the spectators, and all the cos- tunes are copied from the earliest periods of Chinese history. The scenery is meagre, a ! few tables and chairs with strip or two of cloth serving for the presentation of every thing. When man on the stage throws his E leg up in the air he is supposed to be mount ed on horseback. There are no end of such demands upon the imagination. All charac- ters are taken by men. A change from one location to another is indicated by walking around the stage, the longer the walk the longer the distance Often one play is run into another, leading to the impression among the unacquainted that Chinese plays are of great length

The Chicago wheat Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-This was another dull day in wheat. The speculative market is still away above an export basis, but high as prices are and have been receipts do not in dicate that freedom of movement from first hands that usually accompanies artificial or corner prices. About the strongest point the bears have to show that contract wheat is relatively too high is the fact that No. 3 winter is selling at fully go cents below No. 3 spring. There is no such diff ference in the selling value of the two grades, grain men say.
 December wheat opened at $1.12 and May at S1. 121S. The market advanced to $1.13A for December and s1.13L@$1. .1S3s for May, but subsequently worked off to $1.125s for both months. Quotations at the close were $1 12L for December and $1.12A@$1.l2 for May. The sentiment of the trading crowd is overwhelmingly bearish and very few of the commission houses are making especial efforts to invite business. :. This, however, does not seem to disturb the equa- nimity of the bull traders who persist on standing pat on their lines. They profess the utmost confidence in the correctness of the position and hold that, export or no ex- port, America can be relied to take, pay for and consume all the good flour that can be Y,radYoad
