The Institute, which was organized
here yesterday with about thirty-fye
present, started of this morning with
an enrolment of ninety-four. Prof. R.
A. Armstrong, principal Of the West
Liberty normal school, is the instructor:
The superintendent's absence was noted
this morning, and upon inquiry your
correspondent learned that he was
taken sick and was advised by his physi-
clan to 60 home, whose advice he heed
ed. His sickness is OF a-serious nature,
being typhoid fever.
After devotional exercises, Prof.
Armstrong opened by giving q very in
teresting and instructive review OF the
lesson on Psychology"
The subject OF teaching primary read
ing was then taken up by Prof. James
McGhee, who exempliGed his method
OF teaching this very important subject
by bringing class Of little folks before
the institute and giving n class drill.
The discussion OF the subject was par
ticipated in by Messrs. @. S. Farmer, e8-
Superintendent Wade, Profs. Skinner
and Armstrong, eliciting some impor-
tant information.
Prof. Skinner than opened the subject
OF bookkeeping. This subject was well
handled, and it being one OF the new
branches on which teachers are re-
Quired to pass the teachers seemed
more or less rapacious after knowledge
on this subject.
After q short recess the instructor
gave q lesson on civil government, deal
Ing with the legislative features OF the
constitution OF the United States. This
subject was well handled and proved
interesting TO the teachers.
AT the evening session yesterday q
programme consisting OF music and
recitations and debate was carried out.
The question discussed was, Resolved,
that corporal punishment should be
abolished, and was ably discussed pro
and con by ]. NJ. Null and ID. NJ. Rob
erts and q. S. Farmer and Ira G. Moore.
Considerable time was taken up this
morning by Prof. Armstrong in giving
lesson IN general history. This was
listened to with more than the average
interest, it being one Of the new studies
added TO the curriculum.
Mr.. Brent Shriver then opened the
way on the subject Of teaching geog-
raphy. Several Of the teachers and
Prof. Armstrong followed, all agreeing
that the synthetic method of teaching
this branch held the balance OF adj
vantages,
The afternoon session epenedby sing
ing selection and calling the roll, after
which Prof. Armstrong took up the
subject of school organization, ciassiti-
cation, ETC., assisted by some of the
teachers, who took an active part.
To-morrow's session promises TO be OF
equal interest and importance to the
teachers.

Men and Cattle and WRECKS Houses and
Railroads.
VIENNA, Aug. 1s.-A dispatch from
Botzen, an Austrian town at the con-
fuence of the Taller and the Fisach,
announced the partial destruction Of
the uillage Of Kollman by cloud burst.
The cloud, it appears, burst over the
mountains near Botzen, which is pro-
tected from inundation by strong
dyke two miles in length.
The fall OF water flooded the lowlands
and converted a mountain stream into
torrent, which swept through the vii.
lage, carrying away men and cattle and
destroying half the houses OF that place.
Many persons were drowned and the
railroad track was flooded.
The cloud burst occurred at midnight.
The water loosened an avalanche. Forty
persons were drowned. She railway
was destroyed for many miles. h

method by which it is obtained. We

benefit and that no favored class shall
usurp Its benefits they being for every
body equally; spreading sunshine in all
homes and upon all law abiding peo-
pie,
Again, expressing my pleasure at

THE LABOR CONGRESS
At Brussels Turns Out to be a
Gathering of Howling
ANARCHISTS And SOCIALISTS.
Some of the eInccndiary Talk Indulged
Before the nIecting---A New York
Fire Eater Gives an Exhibition and
is Loudly Applaudcd--The Police
Chase One Italian Out of the City
aud Theaten to be Rid of Others.

BRussEs, Aug. 1S.-At the meeting of
the International Socialist Workmen's
Congress in the Halle st. Michael, a
committee reported in favor Of pledging
workmen Of all countries not to support
a candidate for public position unless
the candidate announces himself as be-
ing prepared to advocate reforms for
the benefit of labor and the protective
legislation demanded by workingmen.
During the course Of the dsy Merlino,
an Italian anarchist delegate, was ar
rested by the Belgian police on the
ground that he had previously been ex-
PEELED from Belgium.
The arrest caused some commotion
among the delegates, but Merlino's ar
rest was almost forgotten in the scare
caused by the report that the police
were contemplating a number OF fur
ther arrests and that all those taken
into custody would be promptly es-
Corted across the frontier.
Sanial, of New York, and Knudson,
of Germany, were, shortly after the
proceedings opened, elected presidents
Of the congress for the day. sanial, in
his opening remarks, made quite a stir
ring address. He dwelt upon the in
crcasingly important part which the
United States played in the economy of
nations. In the course Of his utter
ances, Sanial said that in the United
States the stupendous sum of seventy
thousand million dollars annually was
actually stolen from the hands OF those
who produced it. :,
"Amid all that wealth" he continued,
"misery increases SO fast that the land
of the brave and the home OF the free
is in reality hell" IL.
De Pegate sanial's speech was most
vigorously applauded by the many So
ciaists who listened to his bitter
arraignment Of the land in which he
had found a home.
After seventeen additional French
delegates has been admitted to the con-
gress, an uproarious discussion arose
over the arrival OF Ramos Spanish de-
legate who declared with much pride
and enthusiasm that he represented
fiity-five anarchist associations having
their headquarters in Barcelona. Final
ly after heated discussion and much
lcrimony he was refused admission.

HARRIsBuRa, Pa, Aug. 1s.-The situa-
tion with respect to the Republican
State convention tomorrow has not
materially changed. The ticket will
doubtless be Gregg for auditor general
and Price for State treasurer. Thomp-
son and Morrison are still fighting and
thercmayyet bea change of programme.
An interesting event of the day was
an apparently friendly conference be-
tween Senator Quay and @. J.. Magee,
the Pittsburgh leader. These two poli-
ticians, once firm friends, have been
strangers for number OF years, their
differences growing out Of the campaign
of 1888. Their coming together was
therefore great surprise. Mr.. Magee
talked freely to the reporters. he said
he and Mr.. Quay had met ut the re-
quest of State Senator Nylin, who is q
candidate for Auditor General, and dis
cussed the situation. Mr.. Quay is re-
ported by Mr.. Magee to be willing TO
let the convention decide for itself who
shall be candidates. Mr.. Magee said
his meeting with Mr.. Quay had nothing
whatever to do with the future. They
conferred on the situation with refer
ence to the present.
The platform tobe adopted tomorrow
will contain a plank strongly endorsing
Secretary Blaine as the most available
candidate for the presidency in 1893.
The Mckinley bill and reciprocity will
also be endorsed, and in connection with
the latter the Harrison administration
will be mildly commended.
Mr.. Wanamaker's administration OF
the Postofiice Department will be
eulogized. The platform will favor the
free coinage of silver to the extent OF
taking care of the product OF American
mines.
It was said tonight that Senator Quay
would 20 into the convention as sub.
stitute, and that he will be chairman OF
the committee on resolutions. Chair
man Andrews, of the Republican State
Committee will, it is said, take Senator
Quay's place in the National committee.
Governor Walters will take Andrews's
place on the State committee.

pur Princes.
CALCUTTA, Aug. 1s.-The execution Of
the Manipur princes has created a pro-
found sensation throughout India. The
newspaper press of India which is
printed in the native Language, other
wise the vernacular press, strongly
condemns the so-called hurried orders"
issued for the execution, which, the
native press declares, was hastened, lest
English opinion should undergo q
change in favor of the condemned
princes after tho publication OF their
defense.
The manner Of tho Tongal generals

native feeling. It is said that he was

tioners were obliged to lift him upon o
