TRYING TO Avoid a Scandal.

New York, Feb. 14.-School Trustee
Tisdale recently removed Teacher Isa-
bella F. Lewis from one school to an
other without publicly giving any rea
son. Miss Lewis objected, and there
has been good deal of gossip about
the matter The Times this morning
prints all the documents in the case, in
Guiding Trustee Tisdale's report to Su-
perintendent of Schools Jasper, in
which the reason given for the transfer
of the teacher is that Mr. Tisdale found
her in the private room of her principal,
Mr.. B. d. l.. Switzerland, after school
hours and when there was no one else
in the building. 1t was thought best to
quietly separate the principal and
teacherby a transfer and avoid scandal.
The Times severely condemns this
course, and says that if scandalous facts
exist they should be exposed and
abated, not suppressed.

NEW TRIAL PROBABLE.
Another Chance for the Thomas o tt

Since the disagreement of the jury in

considered the prime feature in this case,

There is no question but that Mary
Thomas knows all about Marcellus
Vests money. We don't want to see
Grace OFT and Anthony go over the
way and let the nest egg of the whole
business escape. From her testimony and
general appearance on the stand there
was every indication that she was a
very shrewd woman, and capable of
tackling most any attorney that came
in contact with her. This was q
studied effort"
Mary Thomas has no criminal record
against her, but she is too smart to al
low anything approaching a cloud to be
introduced in the trial of the case. To
what extent Grace OFT and Anthony
were connected with this case there is q
question, and some new developments
can be looked for should new trial be
granted. Arguments will be heard be-

DOmira.

Lost on the Terrible Voyage of the
DOmira.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 14.-Fourty four
days at sea, buffeting against head winds
and sweeping seas and beaten with rain
and hail-such was the experience of
the British steamship Domira, Captain
Wilson, which arrived yesterday at
Henderson's wharf from Gourock, near
Glasgow, Scotland, which port she left
January 3. Her Baltimore agents, the
Joseph r.. Foard Transportation Com
pany, had about given the ship up as
lost. Her charter ran out January %.
Her log book shows that she en-.
countered southwest winds as soon as
she left port, which increased in VIC
lence. occasionally moderating into
what sailors call "foX dogs" only to be
succeeded by storms more terrific and
seas more dangerous. When sixteen
days out, fighting the westerly gales
with all engine power, the Domira was
but 800 miles from her port of departure.
From January IL to II terrific squalls
of hail accompanied the misery of the
rolling and tossing motion of the vessel
in ballast.
On the 10th the horrors of life on
board were intensified by the loss of a
bright little mess-boy named James W.
Laurie. He was 10 years old, and be-
longed TO Glasgow. He was not washed
overheard. but was walking along the
deck forward of the amidship house
when q violent roll of the vessel threw
him off his legs and carried him clear
of the lee rail and hurled him into the
sea. 1t would have been death to all
who undertook to lower a boat, and
those who saw him disappear in the
Kissing sea threw overheard whatever
was at hand that he might clutch them
He was not seen again.
ID. Ii. Elicit, the steward of the yes.
sci, was picked up by the same roll and
followed the boy in his death plunge
but fortunately caught the rail while
his body dangled over the ships side
He was rescued in an almost iRsensible
condition, as in his involuntary fight
he struck some object and gashed his
forehead, the mark of which will be
permanent.

Minister Hirsoh Succeeds in Prevent
ing the Sultan's Tool From Causing

LONDON, Feb. 14.--Moussa Bey, the

fciently grave and well based to have
caused his conviction on q mere pre-
scntatioD of the allegations, has at last
been run to earth. At the request of
Mr.. Hirsch, United States Minister at
Constantinople, who has undertaken to
right the alleged wrongs of two Ameri-
can missionaries, the Sultan has had
Moussa confined, not in deep and
loathsome dungeon, but in his own
palace, the abode of the Commander Of
the Faithful.
This Is doubtless satisfactory to Mr..
Hirsch, gratifying 10 the suffering mis-
sionaries, pleasing to the sultan and Il

than that of the power that has hith-

their exit. So it will be with Moussa,
except that he will ultimately turn up
in his old haunts. He has been too
useful to the Porte in the past and has
still exceptional elements of usefulness
that will commend him to the mercy
Of his master
The intentions of Mr.. Hirsch are
praiseworthy and the desire of the rev.
erend sufferers to have their barbarous
prosecutor punished is laudable, but If
they, or anybody else, believe that the
discomfort of two Christian missionaries
is to weigh against the work of a man
whose delegated or at least passively per-
mitted, function contemplates Kidding
the country and incidentally the earth
of Christians in as large installments as
possible, they will find themselves
grievously deceived.

Bessemer Steel Rails.

The American Iron and Steel Association
has asceltained that the total quantity of
Bessemer steel rails made in the United
States in 1889, by works producing their
own ingots, was l,644,234 net tons or
l,46S,066 gross tons, a gain of only log, 40
gross tons over the production of l,365,02l
gross tons in 1888. Although the Bessemer
steel rail production of 1889 is but little
larger than that of 1888, yet the production
of Bessemer steel lngots last year was about
100000 gross tons larger than in 1888, and
closely approached the quantity produced
in 1887, the year of the largest production
in the United States of Bessemer steel,
when there We're made 1896, 033 gross tons
Of ingots, thus indicating how rapidly the
demands continue to increase for steel for
miscellaneous products which We're for
merly made Of iron.

A Telegrnph Tournament.

| see that the two great patrons OF fast
telegraphy, Walter p. Phillips and Fred
Catlin, are arranging for q tournament, In
which the best known fast-sending opera
tors of the country are to compete. Mr..
Phillips was a famous operator Just after
the war. He is now at the head of the
United Press. Mr.. Catliu is a very fast
sender himself, and is one of the chiefs OF
the Western Union Company. All the
crack local senders, such as John Robson,
Frank j. kim, james Bradt, John G.
McCloskey, William Gibson and Charles
MINER, have already entered the lists. An
effort will probably be made to have the
swiftest of the women operators 60 into
the contest. The tournament will be held
in the Western Union building, and there is
good deal of speculation among the three
or four thousand operators in the city as to
the resut. Robson won the first prize in the
last tournament three years ago, making a
record which has never since been equaled-
fifty words minute for ten consecutive
minutes. Years ago, when General Eckert,
"Bobi Martin and Mr. Phillips were the
"crackaiacks,n they told great stories of
fast sending. Martin, the only one of the
trio who has held his "grip," went into the
last tournament, but, though he made a
good showing, he could not hold the pace
the young fellows set him. Robson is the
favorite for the coming contest.-NcC York

GREEN WAS AFRAID.
One Reason Given Why He Marie
Mrs. McCrea.


Mrs. McCrea.
New YORK. Feb. 14.-The World
this morning devotes considerable space
to the Green Smell -McCrea marriage
and flight to Europe. 1t seems that
Green was completely controlled by the
influence of Mrs. McCrea. 1t was
learned yesterday that about month
ago Mrs. McCrea sent letter to Green in
which she threatened to shoot him if
he did not get divorce from his wife
and marry her. Green was thoroughly
alarmed at this letter and took it to
Police Inspector Byrnes. The latter
went to Mrs. McCrea, and she promised
to leave the city and trouble Green no
more.
1t is subsequently proved. however,
that Green was unable to keep away
from the woman, and they soon re.
sumed their old relations. There seems
TO be no doubt but the European trip
was proposed by her. A dispatch from
Savannah, where GREEN'S wife is now
the guest of her brother-in.law states
that the deserted wife is Frustrated with
grief.

lector of Customs at New York as to
whether the members of Strauss vi
emma Orchestra, coming to New York
in May next under contract to give u
series of concerts, can be permitted to
land as artists within the alien contract
labor law.
In letter to the Collector Mr.. Batch.
eller says: "ln reply. you are advised
that, as the accepted definition OF the
word artist includes musicians who
combine science and taste in the manual
execution of their art, such members of
Strauss Orchestra may be admitted as
artists under the law. Whether each
member of the Strauss Orchestra comes
up to the standard is a question of fact
to be decided upon the best evidence
obtainable"

HOME RULERS SURPRISED.
Their Leaders Gently Dealt with b,
the Parnell Commission.

Their Leaders Gently Dealt With by
the Parnen commission.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE report of the
Parnell Commission is an agreeable sur
prise to the accused Home Rulers who
were led to believe that their virtual
conviction of all the offences with
which they were charged was fore
gone conclusion in view of the noto-
rious leanipgs of the judges toward
Toryism and the oft-repeated state
ments that the labors of the commission
ers would be crowned with royal favor
in the shape of elevation to the peer
age, etc.
The report is practically an acquittal
of the respondent members of all the
accusations connecting them with
crime, outrage and association with
criminals, and fortifies them in many
places in which they have hitherto been
vulnerable. Even the government or
gans tacitly admit this, and henceforth
newspapers will be more careful in
their attacks upon political opponents.
