The board of education met in special
session last night, President Pomeroy in
the chair and all the members present.
Messrs. Martin Marsh, DIR. Kierulff,
A. G. Shafer, II. G. Wilmer and DR..
Boal were present, and were invited by
the president to take seats inside the
railing. Ex-Secretary Cox was also
present and occupied seat with Presi-
dent Pomeroy.
The finance committee reported favor
ably on bills amounting to $6,1241S,
which were approved. The teachers
salaries amounting to $15, 1887 25, and
janitors' amounting to $1,086.25, were
also approved.
In accordance with the recommends
tion of the teachers committee, the
designations of Miss Jennie Mccarthy
and Olga Doree and S. Riley were ac-
cepted. Misses Rosalie Layard, E. Nc
Cleane, Alice Barraclough, M. S. Clark,
Helen Sullivan and Gertrude Clough
were elected teachers.
The classification committee recon-
mended, and it was ordered, that Miss
G. G. Vivian be transferred to the Cas-
telar-street school, Miss A.. Root to the
fifth grade of the Amelia-street school,
M. Brodley to the first grade of the
Amelia-street school, V. A. Olmstead to
principal of the Sand-street school. L.
E. Little was elected principal of the
Pine-street school.
The board then took a recess of ten
minutes, to give the new members
chance to talk matters over with the old
members.
The finance committee reported that
the board is about $4,000 in debt.
There is now about 100000 due the de-
partment from the council. and Mr..
Ellis suggested that each member of
the board see the councilman in his
ward, and see if the council cannot be
induced to turn the money over or loan
it to the school department.
Mr.. Ellis read report from the teach
ers' committee, in which it is stated
that the letter published in the HERALD
some time ago, purporting to have been
signed by Charles L. Innis, one of the
principals, had been investigated and
the committee find it to be forgery.
The letter contained serious charges
against the superintendent of schools.
A motion to recommend the council to
accept the high school building was
made, and quite heated debate fol-
lowed, as the building committee was
divided on account of defects in the
tower, which is so constructed as to ad-
nit rainwater and injure the building.
The motion was carried subject to the
condition that the tower be remodeled
so that it will not leak. The building
committee was instructed to see that
these changes are made.
Adjourned until the 10Th inst.

A Elatterine Trihute.

The subioined letter from an heroic
army officer, orator, poet and banker,
of the old home of General Shields, at
Knoxville, Tenn, is one of the countless
testimonials to the great value and
happy influence of the Annual HERALD !:
General ]. H. Shields La Crescenta, Cal.
Ny VERY DEAR SIR: You again place
me under obligations to you by sending
me an illustrated copy of the Los An
geles HERALD, which is by far the best
illustrated paper l have ever seen
Mason and Dixon's line.
1t is certainly cleverly gotten up
sheet, of which all California should feel
proud, and were it not for my
being rooted to this place by ties of
realty that cannot well be broken, l think
l might be persuaded to try my fortune
among the orange groves of the Pacific
slope. 1t certainly is a most delightful
country, with an opening future, the
like OF which no people yet have ever
seen. VIM. H. Turley, whom you used
to know, begs of me the privilege of
reading this copy of the HERALD when
l am done, but will let him have it only
under strict promise to return it soon
unframed. 1t lacks but one feature to
be more priced, and that is, l would
like such copy in book form, so as to
be enabled to preserve it better.
am surprised at the magnitude OF
Los Angeles size and wealth.
With my best wishes, General, for
your welfare, l am truly yours,
j. R. McCALLUM.

At O'Clock this morning Officer Dor

All three obeved his, request, but not in

The Late Headsman of the p. o. ID. Dis
cusses National Politics.
BosToN, Mass, Dec. 15.-Ex-Assistant
Postmaster-GeneralC Clarkson, in an in
terview on national politics today, said
he did not ascribe to big importers an
extraordinary large share in the defeat
of the Republicans at the recent cleo
ton. Speaking OF the elections bill,
Clarkson said he was in favor of it, but
there was no assurance that it would
pass, as some OF the senators who had
speculations at stake would let the bill
be defeated through delay On the
prospects of financial legislation, Clark
son thought there was a majority in
each house in favor of free coinage. He
thought revision OF the banking law
was needed in favor of the farmer, and
said the Farmers Alliance had come to
stay until some modification of the
banking system was adopted.

the pair presented sorry spectacle.
Both men were deluged with blood, and
Dorsey's uniform was in beautifully
frayed strips, which foated upon the
wind like ribbons. Another desperate
struggle ensued when Dorsey went to
search his man, and it required the COM
bined efforts of four of 'the finest" to
hold the prisoner down while this was
being done, and to throw him into the
"cooler" afterwards.

years, was introduced, and spoke
briefly. Although his voice was
feeble, he was greeted with cheers.

private secretary, made the address of
the day. The hour being late, the
exercises were cut short, and Hon.

APACHE VICTIMS.
The Bodies of Bridger and Robinson
Robbed and Mutilated.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Dec. 15.-The bodies
OF Bridger and Robinson, who were
killed by Apaches, were brought in to-
night. The bodies had been stripped,
robbed and mutilated. The coroner's s
jury met, but adjourned until tomor-

the Indians are believed still to be in
the vicinity of the killing, and are COM
ing in for protection. No action has
yet been taken by the military.

 LONDON, Oct. .2S.-The French political journals are bringing their utmost pressure to bear upon the Governm ent in an endeAvor to induce the adoption of retAliatory measures against the United States for the restrictive opera ton of the Mckinley bill upon French products.
 The Figaro, the most bitter of these journals, demands that the Government retaliate upon American insurance companies, of which there are many doing enormous business in France, by rigid enforcement of existing laws against foreign companies, and if theS c are not found adequate, by the enact ment of new ones.
 The London Standard in a long leader on the subject, declares that the French tariff and the Mckinley bill have plunged the civilized world into inevitable war and predicts "that tho entire continent will rstaliate sooner or later in a way that will convince the high protectioniSts of the fatal gravity af their erroe.n
