The Question of Denominational schools
Discussed.
IBy Telegraph 10 Tho Dispatch.l

NASHVILLE. TENN. July 1.-THE second
DAYS session Of the National Educational
Association was called TO order at O'Clock
this morning bv President Marble with a
very large attendance of teachers and edu-
tors.
Henry A. Wise, Of Baltimore, read pa
Der upon the Introduction of manual train
ing az the present time into the public
schools.
The question Of denominational schools
was taken up and Bishop John J. keane,
Of Washington, was introduced TO the
audience. lie extended the regrets of
Cardinal Gibbons at his inability TO be
present, and read paper prepared by the
Cardinal on this question: Should Amerl-
cans Educate Their Children IN Denomlna-
tional schools:
Bishop Kcane followed in an able paper
on the same subject taking the position
that Christianity was the basis of all true
government and should be inculcated du-
rinc the period when children were attend
ing school If the influence of the Church
was beneficial IN the family, 1t was also IN
the school.
Edwin d. Mead, of Boston, followed in a
lengthy paper, IN which he SAID That the
arguments advanced by Cardinal Gibbons
in the magazines in favor of the non-inter-
ference of State with family IN the matter
of education WAS only device TO damage
the States authority in public opinion TO
the end that the Roman Catholic Church
especially could take charge when posi-
bic. lie said the plan Of the Romish Church
was 10 compel all Catholics TO withdraw
their children from the public schools TO
tho parochial schools. where they would
be taught the doctrines of the Church.
Such system. he said, would not be tole-
rated in America.
Bishop Keane replied. and denied Mr..
Mead's assertion that the Pope Of the Ro-
man Catholic Church was seeking temporal
power and control of the Government.
Both addresses were fOrcible and heartily
apnlauded

a Large Failure.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch


MnwAUKEE. July IA special from Elk
horn announced that John T.. Burton.
known as the Gogebic iron king during the
mining craze of two years ago, has made
an assignment. Gage L. Tarbell, Of Mil
waukee. is assignee. The liabilities of Bur
ton are stated TO be about SS25 900, and the
Central Trust Company ofNew York, whose
claim is $3.50, 600, is the largest creditor.
A suit involving the legality and justice OF
this claim, which is disputed. is now pend
ing before the Supreme Court. The Sc
cured claims against Burton amount to
about $500, 600, and there is no prospect
that there Will be anything left 10 pay the
unsecured claims the assets being stated
to be about $7Oi 900, including 100000 in
real estate and 500. 000in personal property.
The real estate consists OF property in
Lake Geneva valued at $3O0,000 u
business block in Chicago valued at
500. 900, and property in Hurley
and other places valued at 100000
Besides this there Is stated TO DO 100000
OF personal property, consisting of mort
cages, notes. stocks, etc. There are no
preferred creditors. Mr.. Burton says that
he has been so harassed by creditors that
he was forced to assign. He said last
night: NEARLY ono hundred suits have
been brought against me in eighteen
months. my credit ruined. and my property
deprecated and slaughtered from 81 200
00O TO less than 81 600. 900. and in nearly all
cases IL was wholly unnecessary"

A RESERVOIR GIVES WAY,
But Timely Precautions Prevent Destruc-
ton of Property.

A Hagerstown telegram says: The reser-
voir of the Washington County Water Com
panv. located near Cayetown. this county,
and from which HagerstOwn obtains Its
water supply, gave way this morning, but
fortunately the precautions taken pre-
vented any serious damage TO property
in that locality. A large volume of
water had accumulated IN the reser-
voir from the recent rains and last
night the pressure upon the embank-
ments became SO great that the sup
ply of water to the reservoir was cut of
and the waste pipe at the bottom OF the
reservoir and the tire-plugs in l}agerstown
were opened. by these means the water
fell very rapidly. The pressure had been
so great, however. that early this morning
a portion Of the bank gave way, but the
water passed of quietly and without doing
any damage, except slightly flooding some
of the fields in the vicinity. The citizens
of Cayetown, which lies below the teser-
yoir. passed an anxious night. 1t viii take
several thousand dollars to repair the
damage done. The company will at once
make the necessary repairs. Hagerstown
Will not suffer from want of water, As Its
supply viii be drawn from the Attllng dam
until the reservoir Is restored.

dow TO call Miss Lamb. Everything IN TINS
room was also topsy-turvy. She said yes
terday she felt sure when she got TO the
back room that a man was IN the house
and down stairs. The back and front
doors were locked and she was prisoner.
She neither screamed nor tainted, but
walked down stairs with heavy step, try
ing to initiate man. The back parlor was
in great disorder, and Ratchet, with
which the shutter had been chopped open
was on the floor. A moment later she
heard the dining-room window-shutter
creak, and. summoning all her strength,
she rushed forward and shouted, who's
thero?n In n twinkling q man Jumped
from the window with his arms iuli OF
silverware. The brave young lady ran
down into the yard after the burglar and
locked the gate. Miss Eva Lamb, from
her back window, saw Miss Hersh chasing
the robber, and rushed over 70 her help.
Miss Lamb thought Miss Hersh was nm
conscious when she reached her, but she
was not Her excitement was 80 intense
that she couldn't speak. The burglar
made good use of his legs ana EoI
away. His game was broken up, Tor
in his haste he left nearly all the
silver he had found The police were sum
moned, but before they got there MISS
Hersh saw two men sneaklngly pry open
The back gate. Against the advice OF her
LADY friends she went down boldly, con-
fronted them. and asked what they want:

garbage. She ordered them off and they
left at once. Both looked like Italians, and
had a pair of long black tongs. They were
evidently confederates Of the first burglar

But for the Young lady's returning home
and her brave action. the house would an
doubtedly have been robbed Of all the sii-
verware and iewolry in it. The young lady
suffered for several hours from nervous
ness. but Yesterday had nearly recovered.
Nothing but praise was heard for her
bravery and puck in chasing alone a bur
Olar out of her house.
