Abstract of the Annual Report of the
State Board.
The formal report of the state board
of education was presented to Governor
Buckley in February according to law,
but the full report in detail, including
the vast and valuable statistical infor-
nation, Secretary Hines report, Agent

pleted.
In the year ending July, 1890, $2,O15,-
867 was devoted to public education in
this state, maintaining 1911 schools,
paying for 1900 teachers. and instruct
ing children, of whom "a, 900 attended
regularly. The two normal schools
graduated II, which is 20 per cent OF
the number of new teachers in the state.
For new school buildings $210,902 was
expended.
One feature of the report worth at
tentlon is the examination papers foI
teachers ane for admission to the Nor
NAL school. They call for knowledge
of our Connecticut form of government
that it is gratifying to find demanded OF
teachers.

Fourth of July Explosion.
The explosion of a cannon cracker in
his hand on the morning of the Fourth

of his aunt, in Hartford. DIR johnson
he was first injured, and last Sunday

agony from pains in his head since the
previous day, he performed an opera

medicine and some nourishment, the
jaws being set with the teeth slightly

the Companies.

First Test of the New Order to Assemble
the Companies.
The adjutant-general yesterday after
noon issued orders to several country
companies of the National Guard to
assemble Immediately at their armories
to test the efficiency of the commands
by the promptithde with which they
responded to the call.
About Z o'clock last evening Colonel
Erickson of New Britain received
orders to call out Cos d and E. He
caused the men to be summoned as
rapidly as possible, messengers going in
all directions and notifying all members
of the companies who could be found.
Within a short time fifty men from
each company had reported. The
quartermaster-sergea of Company D
was the first man at the armory. Ten
rounds of blank cartridges were served
out to each man and the companies
were then dismissed. AS soon as the
call was received the sergeants and cor
porals were started out, many mounted
on bicycles, to warn the men to report
at the armory.
About the same time Captain Terrell
of Co l, Winsted, received orders to as
6emble his company Immediately. The
sergeants and corporals were sent out to
notify the men at their residences, on
the street and wherever they could be
found. In about three quarters of an
hour thirty-eight men had reported al
the armory and fell in in fatigue uni
form. Blank ammunition was served out
and the company was dismissed.

| LIEUTENANT ROOTS SUCCESSOR.
Sergeant Bannon and Detective Dodds
Promoted.


Mayor Baldwin presided at last night
meeting of the police board and the
four members were present. Applica-
tions for positions on the force were re-
ceived from John F. Brickel, John c.
Claffey and Thomas O'Reilly. The ap-
plications were placed on file.
A short recess was then taken and the
members retired to an adjoining room to
informally discuss the matter of ap-
pointing a successor to Lieutenant
George Root, deceased. Upon reas-
sembling, Commissioner Martin moved
that the board proceed to vote to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Lieut.
George w. Root. Only one ballot was
taken, of which Chas r. Bannon re-
ceived the four votes. Mayor Baldwin
then declared him elected lieutenant.
This left vacancy in the sergeant's
chair and one ballot was taken for
Major Bannon's successor. Detective
Thomas Dodds received the four votes
and the mayor declared him elected SER
geant. The board then adjourned with
out transacting further business.
Lieutenant Bannon has been con-
nected with the force since October 1885,
Sergeant Dodds was appointed patrol
man in May 1882 and has been mainly
employed upon detective duty for the
past five years. Both officers have
records to which they can point with
pride

LAUDANUM INSTEAD OF RHUBARB.
Poison Given to a Four Year Old Child
Instead of Medicine.

Poison Given to IA Four Year Old Child
Instead of Medicine.
A four year old daughter of Michael
Bowen of 1919 Ridge street was given a
spoonful of laudanum by mistake for
rhubarb at noon to-day by her mother.
After drinking the dose the little one
was taken deathly sick and upon max
ing an investigation the mother was
Mortified to find that she had given the
child poison. A messenger was hastily
dispatched for medical aid while the
usual home remedies to induce vomit-
ing were tried, but without success. DIR
O'Hara arrived half an hour after the
child had taken the poison.
He found the little one sinking rapidly
into comatose condition, but by quick
work removed most of the poison with a
stomach pump. The girl was kept NOV
ing about to prevent the fatal sleep
which is the common result of opium
poisoning, and at press hour was be-
lieved to be out of danger.

ANNOYED BY ARAB PEDDLERS.


People living in the Abrigador dis
trict continue to be annoyed by Arab
peddlers of small wares. A day or two
ago one of the gang called at a house
on one of the side streets, helped him
self to a chair and pleaded with the
young housewife to purchase some of
his trinkets. He was told that nothing
was wanted, but showed no inclination
to leave until ordered to do so. Then he
gathered up his traps and while stand
ing at the door, in broken English
offered the lady the choice of any of his
wares for kiss, at the same time plac-
ing his basket on a chair. The woman
waited to hear no more, and instead of
receiving kiss the fellow was given a
push that sent him sprawling down the
stairs. The door was locked after him
and his belongings were thrown through
the window. The Arab hastily gathered
up his trinkets and left the neighbor-
hood.
