dividual between the ages OF and 81 years
who is resident of the sub-district, and who
applies either in person or by his or her par
ent, guardian or next friend.
Night schools must be established when
an application therefor is made by the par
ents of 20 or more pupils above the age OF six
years. and residents of the district. These
schools are to be kept open not less than four
months OF each year, with 20 sessions each
month, and each session to be of not less
than two hours duration.
ELECrING SCHOOL TEACHERS.
School teachers holding certificate from
the City Superintendent are to be elected by
the board of directors of the sub-district to
which the school belongs. They may be
dismissed at any time for incompetency,
cruelty, negligence, immortality or other
cause. The last provision is somewhat in
definite, aud, it is hinted, is to enable poll
tics to creep in occasionally. The local
boards have the authority to expel from the
schools all persons found guilty of refractory
or incorrigible bad conduct.
There is no reward but honor connected
with membership Of sub-dlstrict school
board, or the Central Board of Education;
but, by an act OF Assembly passed in 1869,
these gentlemen are exempted from perform
ing militia duty during their term of Office.
These gentlemen are liable, however, in
cases of dereliction of duties to fines, in some
instances reaching $500 at a clip.

mp and poisoned. and you'll drop Ike
fies?'"
Mrs. Wolf-No.
"Mr. Taylor, didn't this woman tell you
that?"
Taylor-Yes, she did; and here in the
Office she said she wouldn't swear To IL.
Officer Peoples-Thls woman told me the
same thing.
Moses Trellinski, on being sworn, said he
had heard Mrs. Levy talking to Mrs. Wolf
just before the latter took the stand, and
Mrs. Wolf said to Mrs. Levy, II wouldn't
say anything bad Of you"
'Thafll do for you, said Colonel Moore,
to Mrs. Wolf "I'll have charge of per-
jury brought against you."
Samuel Criegor testified that as he was re-
turning home with Louis Sullivan, about IL
o'clock Friday night, Jake Levy was stand
ing in Schmidt's yard, and when he saw
Creigor and Sullivan he shouted: so, mani
hurry up, and then ran down Mulberry
alley to the Levy home. Criegor then en-
tered the yard and met Mrs. Levy coming
out.
Lewis Sullivan corroborated Criegor's tes-
timony.
Colonel Moore then stated that this was
one of the best prima facie cases he ever saw
against Mrs. Levy and her son, but he saw
nothing in it on which to hold Kobelinski.
Magistrate McKenna discharged Kabelin-
ski, and committed Mrs. Levy and the boy
to Jail, in default of bail, the formez 50, 900
and the latter 81 900, for trial at court.

A C0UNTYs LOCAL FIGHTS.
Some Washington Republicans Not Pleased
With Colonel Stewart.

Some Washington Republicans Not Pleased
With Colonel Stewart.
Major Sam Hazlett, of Washington,
started last evening on ten-day fishing
trip. The Major states that there is con-
siderable dissatisfaction in his county over
the nomination of Colonel Andrew
Stewart for Congress. The Colonel does
not come up to some of the ideas of num-
ber of Republicans. The determined fight
also between Colonel Hawkins and Mr..
White, of Beaver, for the State Senatorship
does not act as oil on the troubled waters.
The next conference will be held the second
week in September. Colonel Hawkins says
he is in the fight to stay, even if he has to
make an independent campaign.
These local differences, the Major states,
have engrossed the attention of the people,
and the State contest has been lost sight OF.
Some of the Republicans are dissatisfied
and will vote for Pattison, but he thinks
the detection will not be serious. He
would like to see both Quay and Delamater
answer the open letters addressed to them.
As long as they do not he will always have
suspicion that they are guilty.
The Major adds that the oil business of
the county still keeps up. The wells are
producing from 8 to 20 barrels per day,
and when the aggregate is taken it makes .
pretty fair oil showing.

POISON IN THE POT.
Mrs. Levy and Her Son Held to Court
on a Very Serious Charge.
JOE KOBELINSKI WASN'T IN 1T
Some Strong Circumstantial Evidence
Against the Levys.
PERJURY AND sUBoRNATIoN CHARGED

Magistrate McKenna held q hearing, yes
terday afternoon, in the case of Mrs. J..
Levy, Jacob Levy and Joe Kobelinski,
charged with poisoning number OF people
who live on Penn avenue, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets. The specific charge
made against them was felonious attempt to
murder. Colonel w. D. Moore conducted
the case for the Commonwealth and John
Edmundson, Esq, was attorney for the de-
PENDANTS. Inspector McAleese is the prose-
cutor in the case.
Joe sangholz testified that about two
months ago Mrs. Levy had some trouble and
law suit with Mrs Schmidt and Mrs. Ko-
belinski. She was seated in her door, cry
ing, and he spoke to her. She said, Them
people, for nothing. make me to pay costs.
I will not stop till kill them all I'll
poison them
W. Taylor testified that last Friday even
ing about II O. clock he went out into his
back yard--he occupies part of Mrs.
Schmidt's house-and while he was in the
yard Mrs. Levy sprang out of Schmidt's
kitchen window. He asked her what she
had been doing there, but she did not
answer, and ran away.
Just here somebody in the Office, which
was crowded with Hebrews, said: ''That's a
lie." Taylor, Mr.. Moore and others heard
it, and an attempt was made to discover
who had said it, but no one knew.
SOME STARTLING EVIDENCE.
Mr.. Taylor said he and his wife got q
light and went to see what Mrs. Levy had
been doing in the kitchen. They saw Mrs.
schmidt's coffee pot sitting in the kitchen.
but did not notice anything wrong with it,
and one of the panes in the window had
been broken, to enable some one on the out
side to reach the lock and open it. The
Taylors and Schmidts had prepared their
Saturdays food on Friday, and Saturday
morning Taylor took his pot of coffee, but
did not discover anything wrong. When he
returned from the synagogue he found Mrs.
Bessie Schmidt, Samuel Criegor, Mrs. Lizzie
Taylor, Mrs. Sarah Kobelinski, Lewis Ko-
belinski and Jake Lavenstein lying in Mrs.
Schmidt's store sick. They all said they
had been drinking Mrs. Schmidt's coffee.
and were burning inside, and had vomited
all they had eaten.
Mrs. Bessie Schmidt said she had given
some of the coffee to her husband in Jail, and
he also became sick.
Mrs. Annie Sapinski said Mrs. Levy had
told her ''she would settle with the Kobe
linskis and the Schmidts-they wouldn't
live long"
After Mrs. Anna Wolf had been sworn,
Officer Peoples said: "Your Honor, Mrs.
Levy here has been tampering with this
witness" Mrs. Levy was then conducted
to another corner OF the room, and Mrs.
VOLTS examination proceeded.
PINNING IT DOWN.
"Didn't you tell Mr.. Taylor" asked
Colonel Moore, that you heard Mrs. Levy
say, in referring to the Kobelinskis and
Schmidts, T'Il perish you; you'll be burnt

IN A LITTLE QUANDARY.

Postmaster Mexican Puzzled About the
Mailing Of a Much-Advertised Book
He Writes a Letter of Inquiry TO Post.
the Matter.
"Kreutzer Sonata" the much-advertised
book by Count Tolstoi, has arrived in large
numbers in this city. So far its travelling
has been by express, but in the future it
may be part and parcel of Uncle Sans mat
ter, as Postmaster Mexican yesterday ad-
dressed a letter to Postmaster General
course to pursue regarding the much-talked-
of volume.
81 have never rever received any official
information or instruction concerning the
book, =" said Postmaster Mexican, yesterday
afternoon, land Of course cannot act with
out such, hence my letter to Mr.. Wana-
maker, which will bring me the desired in
formation and make it possible for me to
answer the many inquiries with which book
sellers and news agents have been besieging
me for the past few days"
"The demand for the Kreutzer Sonata"
said prominent book dealer, few mo-
ments afterward, "is not confined to Pitts
burg people, or to any special class of peo-
pie. 1t comes from all over the State and
from all classes. We have sold 400 books in
the past three days-sold them to ministers,
lawyers, merchants, mechanics, clerks,
'toughs, and to women in all grades of life.
1t is book that, without the advertising it
has received in the newspapers, through the
supposed Introduction in the mails, would
never have been read by the vicious, but
would have been perused only by the extrem-
lists. As 1t is. however, peddlers are dis
tributing it in every quarter of the city, and
good, bad and Indifferent, old and young,
are all calling for it at the stores"
Said prominent attorney yesterday, after
laying down the volume, which is a small
one, and had taken him less than two hours
to read: "That is book no one could OBJ
ject to who believes in St Paul and Jesus
Christ, as its teachings are exactly in accord
ance with theirs. If Wanamaker did for
bid it in the mail, and ministers have con-
demned it. it is because they do not care to
have people generally understand what
primitive Christianity is, and how far short
of the mark they, as professed Christians,
fall. 1t evidently was written by an in
teusely sincere nah, whose relation of facts
is eminently natural, but the conclusions
drawn tberefrom eminentiy unnatural. The
book can never affect any but fanatics,
though it does stab at the very foundation
OF society, the home and marriage relations,
for the teachings are those of such great de-
nial and selfsacrifiee."

NEW KIND OF CENSUS.
A MAN WITH A LIST OF ALL THE UNoc.
cUPIED HOUSES.

How n Colored Servant Saved the Vnlu-
abIes of a Great Many FamilIes-He
Caught a Burglar Who Wa. Going to
Reap Harvest.
Edward Cody was arrested in the house oi
7. Brent Swearingen, No. It's Ridge avenue,
while ransacking the house yesterday after.
noon. The family is away at summer
resort, and no one was in the house. A
colored man employed next door, has been
in the habit every day of taking look
about to see that everything was all right.
Yesterday afternoon he noticed that one
of the screen doors was locked on the inside.
He thought something was wrong, and
going around the house found that one of
the cellar windows had been broken open.
Calling another colored man to his aid, they
entered the house, and in one of the rooms
found Cody. When searched four watches.
five silk handkerchiefs, pair Of opera
glasses, chains, jewelry, and numerous
other articles belonging to members of the
Swearingen family were found on him.
The house had been ransacked from top
to bottom. Drawers and desks had been
jlmmied and their contents strewed about.
Among other things found on Cody was a
notebook containing the names of large
NUMBER OF residents OF Allegheny ana tnelr
addresses. The list comprised many we'll
to-do persons living on Ridge avenue, West
ern avenue, Washington avenue, Sheffield
street, Beech street and other places. The
detectives ascertained that nearly every
family whose address was noted in Cody g
book was out of the city. Cody is about %
years of age, and says he came here from
Philadelphia on Thursday. The police,
however, doubt that fact from his apparent
knowledge of the families absent from the
city. He also answers, it was stated, the
description of man seen attempting to
enter the house of Mr.. Greeves, at No.
Fulton street, day or so ago. He is be-
lieved to be the person, or one of the per-
sons, who have been committing number
of petty robberies lately.
An attempt to rob the house of Mr..
Barretr, the Wholesale jeweler, corner Of
Sherman and Montgomery avenues, was
frustrated yesterday morning. About 8
o'clock the hired girl was awakened by a
noise, and, looking out Of the window, saw
a man at the door. Upon seeing that he
