The Second Weeks Work Com mmsnccs
with Interesting Topics.
The Teachers Institute began Its Sec
ond weeks work yesterday morning
with renewed vigor, after a two days'
rest from wrestling with knotty prob
lems and the intricacies of scientific
subjects. Twenty-Five new members
placed their names on the roll and
went to work under the direction OF
the competent corps OF instructors in
charge. Prof. Estabrook opened the
morning session with a continuation OF
his subject, Psychology, which he pre-
sented SO interestingly last week. Prof
Chalmers explained the composition Of
the blood. a.. his subject in physiology
and for his second subject, arithmetic,
he explained the principles OF per-
centage. Prof. Simmons gave = minute
description Of the Mammoth Cave, as
he saw it during his visit TO that region.
Prof. Estabrook awakened considerable
interest in the study of grammar dur
ing his talk on that subject. Much
discussion was provoked over the con-
struction of the verb "tO be" in certain
sentences produced as examples. Com
missioner Smith gave an instructive
talk TO young teachers on the methods
of organizing, after which the institute
adjourned until this morning at
O'Clock.

clutched one of the feed wires of the
electric railway and received terrific

his hoii and fall to the ground. lie
was rendered so weak from the effects
of the shock that Frank Lossey, fel-
low workman, who was on the pole
with him, found IT necessary to assist
hlm to tho ground. Nalten was taken
on Q street car to the shop in the
Powers block, where wet cloths we're
applied to his wrists. After an hours
work over him he was able TO stand.
He felt as limp as = dish rag and felt
better standing than sitting down. II

shocked was that one of the guard wires
leading to the main wire had the in
sulation worn of. He took hold of the
guard wire and being on an iron pole

Little Simon Takes Q Lesson From
Chancellor White.
THREE BEASTS ARE HELD FOR TRIAL
The vaa Ksarsn Arson Case On cell
Nothing Done bat Reading the Testi-
nony Taken Before Judge Holmes.
Bali Pleads Net Guilty.

John Weathers had sentence sus-
pended upon him for being intoxicated.
Thos. sullivan and John Gibson each
paid $3.50 for being drunk. John
whalen was committed to jail for
twelve days for imbibing too freely and
+. e. Bemls went TO JAIL for thirty days
IN default OF . fine of 1886, for dis
orderly conduct. Henry De Matt, who
WAS arrested nearly two months ago for
obstructing the street railway track.
was discharged. there not being sum-
cient evidence adduced TO convict him.
1t did not take Judge Westfall long
TO dispose OF Jas. Connor, Thos. . Brlen
and Joseph Edwards, the three desplc-
able aamps, arrested on the charge OF
sodomy. A plain statement uf the case
by Detective Smith and Clerk Webber,
the officers who made the arrest, was
all that was required. They were all
held for trial 1T the next term OF the
superior court. IL is very probable
that each will receive the full extent of
the law.
The arson case against John
Van keuren was on call again
yesterday afternoon, and the tes-
tlmony which had been previously
taken was read. Mr.. Van keuren is
charged with having burned the store
which he occupied with IA line of dry
goods in the Van Vorhees block on
South Division-st. for the purpose of
securing the insurance which he car
rled. Instead OF the blaze which he
started consuming only his stock in
trade the whole block was consumed.
Chancellor White was the attorney for
the defendant and he did not arrive
until shortlyaf the hearing had been
begun. When ne came IN he immedi-
ately made an objection to Assistant
Attorney LaGrue reading the testI-
mOny, because he die not consider the
latter a competent reader. Chancellor
explained that he would have made no
objection if Judge Westfall had heard
the original testimony, but as Judge
Holmes was on the bench when the case
was first called, he did not consider that
reader who could give no more ex.
preston than LaGrue, could assist
Judge Westfall IN gaining a perfect
understanding of the status OF the case.
The difficulty was adjusted by Simon
agreeing TO read slower. There was
nothing done beyond reading the testi.
mony.
There were four cases against S. S.
Ball, the liveryman, for violation OF the
vehicle ordinance. Mr.. Ball entered q
plea of not guilty and his cases were
continued until July 80.
