TEACHERS IN CONCLAvE.
A Standard of Eligibility for Promotion
Adopted.

The principals of the various schools in
the city held meeting Tuesday evening
in Superintendent Barnard's Office and
discussed various matters pertaining to the
interest of the schools. The recess prob
lem was again argued pro and con, but no
agreement arrived at. The dry-eloset system
was also discussed, and il was thought
the best way to abate the effects of the adj
mittedly poor system is to construct a par
tition separating the closet from the main
portion of the basement. The principle
upon which the system operates is 10 carry
off the impurities by process of drying
and then burning the residuum. 1t is
claimed that the system fails in that il
does not dry sufficiently TO carry off the
impurities, and they remain there. con-
stantiy concentrating the surrounding

Thomas insisted and said he had spent
his money in there, and that if the pro-
prietor was in he would give him what he
wanted in minute. Newall would give
him nothing and ordered him out.
Thomas then got mad and said:
- workingman who spends his money
for whisky is a blanked fool. anyway"
Newall took offense at this remark and
feiled the impromptu temperance lecturer
with a club Thomas was knocked sense
less and was carried outside, where it was
found that his temple bone was nearly

REQUIRING AN OFFICER.
The Police Judge Thinks Man Is Fer

The arraigning in the police court yes
terday of Thomas Shea on a charge of va
grancy was the occasion for a rebuke to
Police Officer Krebs. administered by
Judge Rivers. For months past Shea has
sooner is ne out Of Jail than he is arrested
on new charge and re-sentenced.
Several days ago he was arrested by OFF,
Ger krebs and arraigned before Judge Riv-
ers charged with vagrancy. Shea took the
stand, and In his Irish-English said:
Eyer Homer. the perlice force gives me
nary chance 10 git worruk. SO quick as
Use gifts out they comes and artists me on
new charge. This morning Oh wuz going
to worruck on job in foundry wen per-
liceman ups and artists me wit hout listen
in to me story
Judge Rivers sent out an officer and
found 1t true, that Shea had got work in a
foundry and was on his way TO work when
krebs made the arrest. The Judge dis
charged the prisoner, and he promised he
would hunt up another job If given a
show.
Krebs arrested Shea the next time he
came across him, and yesterday morning
Shea was in the prisoners dock of the
police court, charged with vagrancy.
Shea claimed he was being prosecuted by
krebs. and stated that he had then been
in Jail for three days.
Judge Rivers Immediately discharged
Shea and, addressing Policeman Krebs,
he said:
'Iou must exercise more judgment, sir,
and not be taking up the time of this court
with cases similar 10 this one. Keeping
prisoners in jail over twelve hours and not
bringing them into the court will no
longer be tolerated, sir. And if it occurs
again | will fine the arresting officers for
contempt of court"
I'm obeying the orders of my supe-
riors. replied the officer, doggedly.
This court is its own superior and will
not be trifed with" returned Judge Riv-
ers, severely. IF you bring men in here
to try them, you must obey the rules of
the court sir

Exciting Chase and Capture of Run
away Prisoner.

away PRISONER.
4 crook, who claims his name is J. W.
Ryan, gave Bailiff Roberts, of the police
court, long and merry chase yesterday
afternoon. He made a bold dash for lib
erty, but was overtaken and remanded to
Jail.
Ryan had been arrested by Detective
Willard for having burglar tools in his
possession. He pleaded guilty TO charge
of vagraney and was given the full bene-
fit of the law-thirty days in Jail and a
fine of 500.
Ryan did not like the sentence little
bit, and when no one was watching he
sprang over the balcony and down stairs
from the courtroom 10 the lower floor. 1t
was wild leap, and before the excited
crowd of policemen could follow he
bounded ont side door and started down
Fifth street like a frightened wolf. Bailiff
Roberts followed and was in the act of FIR
ing when the prisoner reached Main street.
He was saved the pulling of the trigger by
Ryan slipping and falling. Before the
runaway could crawl out of the mud and
pull himself together Roberts had him by
the back of the neck and led him TO Jail.

CAPTAIN SHEAHAN RESIGNS.
Charged with Responsibility for Prison
crfs Escape.

1t is reported that Captain Henry Shea

few days ago for neglect of duty in allow
ing John Connors, a vicious character and
an important prisoner, 10 escape from the
Jail. win not go back TO the force again in
and capacity. Chief of Police Monroe has
asked for his resignation and the captain
will not stand the investigation before the
police commissioners.
IL was on mis- statement that the two
jailers, Ben Stretch and |. W. Evans, were
suspended from duty, but since the chief
has found that the statement was partial
and incorrect he will probably reinstate
the jailors and not allow their cases To
come before the notice of the commission
ers. Neither jailor, so it is claimed. was
in any great degree to blame for the
escape of Connors and their suspension and
stop of pay would consequently be unjust

A RECEIVING HOSPITAL.
sunererx Prom Accidents to Be Better
Attended


The efforts of the police commissioners
TO secure receiving hospital, to be run in
connection with the city Jail, has at last
broaght forth fruit. Chairman Cochran.
OF the board Of public works, yesterday
ordered the superintendent of public
wharyes to Mt up the building adjoining
the city jail for hospital The building
viii be raised another story. and viii be
repaired throughout There is nearly
always more or less sickness in
the city jailer's household. and the
success Of the efforts of the commissioners
and OF Chief Monroe in securing tine re-
ceiving hospital IS regarded as being very
important. Whenever a man meets with
an accident he Is brought to police head
quarters. The Jail is no place for sick
people. and the uncomfortable, hard hunks
were never meant for the rest OF wounded
persons. With the receiving hospital next
door, II is claimed that those who meet
with accidents can be properly attended TO
and the expense will not be so great.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
An Elevator Boys Leg Crushed to
Pulp.

A most shocking and sickening accident
befell little John Thompson, the elevator
boy of the Olympic block, Tuesday night.
He received call to ascend, and care
lessly reached in and pulled the lever, in
tending to step in as the cage went up.
For some reason he did not get in soon
enough, and his leg was caught between
the rising cage and the top Of the door,
crushing the bone and mangling the flesh
in horrible manner. He then grabbed
the lever and the cage shot down with him.
He was soon after found in swooning
condition. His head was damned up
against the ceiling with such force as TO
crush through the plastering.
