Mr.. FLYNN's WILL


Refused Ambulance to Probate in the
Chsncery Court.
In the Chancery Court yesterday,
Mr.. John Pickrell, attorney for MIR. j.
N. Newell, made a motion 10 admit 10
probate an authenticated copy made in
New York of the will of Maurice b.
Flynn. deceased, which motion was op-
posed by Mr.. Wyndham X. Meredith,
on tue ground that the name OF one of
the witnesses was John L. Mum in the
body of the will. while the certificate Of
the clerk made it John +. Mum.
Mr.. Meredith claimed that the will
was not valid. lie SAID no doubt it was
the same person. and the error was
probably made by the clerk, which er-
ror could be corrected by the surrogate
in New York, and he insisted that i. be
done.
Judge FitEhugh decided to continue
the motion. He said that the certified
copy of the will could be taken 10 New
York and the matter arranged in "a day
or two. ff it should take any length of
lime then Mr.. Pickrell could renew his
motion for the appointment of cura-
Tor to take charge of the railway lines
md other Virginia property.
The matter will doubtless be fixed in
/ day or two, for the difference in the I
initials was perhaps the fault of the
'lefk.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
LARGE INCREASE IN ENROLL
MENT OVER LAST YEAR.

Detailed Statement Of the Attendance
Changes In the Teachers-Other Local
Ncws-Tbe City street Railway Criti-
ciscd-City and Suburban Notes.
The public schools of our city opened
on Monday morning last for the session
Of 1889 80, and the principals and
officers have been busily engaged in en-
rolling and classifying the pupils. The
total enrolment for this year shows an
increase over that Of last year by 1884.
This number will be largely increased
during this week and next week, as
some pupils are absent on account of
sickness. and some Others are still alb
sent from the city. The Richmond
High School completed the enrolment
yesterday, and the pupils commence
the regular course of study to-day.
The majority of the district schools
will not get regularly under way for
school work until the first OF the
coming week. The demand for ad
mission on the part Of new scholars
has been met as far as possible. but
the fact remains that the schools need
more buildings in some parts Of the
city To accommodate the demand this
fall. Some applicants. especially IN
the lower grades among the small
children. could not be taken in.
The Board Will do all that can be done
with present facilities. and the Council
will doubtless make ample provisions
for the others as soon as possible.
CHANGES AMONG TEACHERS.
A few changes have been made among
the teachers. caused by marriages ana
removals in the corps of teachers. One
new principal have been elected.
