School Notes.

Our efficient County Superinten-
dent, Mr.. John f. Groves, has COM
nenced his round of visits to the
schools again, and his reports will be
coming in week by week.
Mr.. Groves has endeavored to do
his whole duty. He has evinced a
lively interest in his work, and devo-
ted much more time to it than the
small salary would seem to justify, to
one less in love with it than he has
shown himself to be. He has mo-
only endeavored to raise the standard
of the teaching force Of the county
but has worked very earnestly to &C
the trustees to furnish better house
and more comfortable seats for the pu
pills. For this inter ,st he certainly dc
serves the commentator of all friend
of education.
Misses Clay Witloughby and Lilli
Wilburn are teaching the publ
schools on Spruc' in a very satisfat
. tory manner. This is their first essa
in this line.
Miss Sallie Berkley is progressin
nicely with her school at Howard
Mill. The attendance is small, b,
! uniform, and the work is thorough.
\ The school children are always gls
+ to see Mr.. Groves coming. He inv
: riably has something pleasant
lstore for them.

John l. Coleman, who for several
years past has been connected with
the n. n. & NJ. V. road, at this point,
has resigned his position, to accept the
agency of the Kentucky Midland, at
Frankfort. John is first-class rail-
road man, and enjoys the confidence
and respect of all who know him.
We hope he will become a veritable
railroad magnate some day.

On Saturday morning the wife OF
Mr.. Lee Burns, near Moreticld, awoke
about three O'Clock and found her hus-
band had risen. Hearing noise out
side the house she hurried out and
found him in dying condition, pre-
sumably from pistol shot by his own
hands, as his pistol lay beside him.
No cause can be assigned for the act
since his domestic relations were pleas
ant, and his financial affairs apparent
ly in good shape. Mr.. Burns was o
well-to-do and highly respected farmer
and wide circle of friends are filled
with sorrow at the rash deed. a
bereaved wife, father and mother
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity. L.

Some ten days ago Mr.. q. u. Iur-
lev missed two large mules from MS
place. two miles east OF town. AS
each were branded with large II"
on the left jaw, he had 10 thought
that they were stolen, but supposed
they had wandered off. For two or
three days he searched for them with
out success. He finally heard that
two strangers had been seen in the
neighborhood, and he then began to
suspect theft, and believed the thieves
had fled to Tennessee. On Saturday
Sheriff Bales received letter from
Knoxville saying that he had arrested
George and Walter Berkley, who had
in their possession two mules answer
ing the description of Turley's los'
animals. On Sunday Mr.. Turley and

identify the mules, and returned
with the prisoners, who were placet
in jail until the meeting OF Circui

in Delaware ard Ryans majority OF 400 may be wiped
out next week. In Union and Morrow Counties both
parties are holding their own strength. The Wood
County Republicans count gain OF 300 for Nc
KInley but that will be offset by probable loss in
Lucas County, Of which Toledo Is the county seat
Ryan got 1900 majority there, while Harrison, three
years ago, got only 500. w
ON the whole the western counties viii show little
change aid kst years Republican plurates Will NOT
much more than be maintained Unless there Is q
strong tidal wave, therefore, Major Mckinley should
probably not expect In the fortytwo Republican coun
years plurality. Neither candidate hopes for
marked gains In the seven doubtful counties
OF the state-Preble, Perry, Highland, Hancock,
Hardin, Knox and Muskngum. Harrison cari1ed them
all in 1888 by q total plurality Of ga and Ryan
carried six OF them in 1890 by o5l. Inc otheri
Muskingum went Democratic by 4s. Inc chance o.
gain seems rather In favor OF the Republicans. there
fore but in any the increased advantage WOULD
probably not exceed 500 votes.
this analysis, which IL supported by careful poll
of the state correct the situation may be summed
I'D briefly as follows by last years vote the Republican
plurality in the eighty-seven counties OUTSIDE Slncn-
natl was 244O. The thirty eight Democratic counties
OF the state promise far estimates, gain OF 800
for the Republican ticket. The forty-two Republican
counties Will show as great a gain probably greater
In the seven doubtful counties Major Mckinley may
get an additional advantage Of 500 votes. Ills total
plurality outside Hamilton County would then be
little more than IL 900. Adding from 1000 10 5000
total plurality OF from 10000 to 21,OOo, the exact
figures now claimed by Chairman Hahn, whose iudg.
uent Is based the most careful personal
study OF the State and minute examna-
ton of the polling work done by ho

TAMMANY CLOSED TIE SCHOOLS
AN OLD Trick REsoRTED TO IN An EFFORT TO
SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY.


SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY.
Grammar School No. 80, In West Thirteenth-st.. Is
closed and 1000 children consequently are unable
to attend school, The reson for this that the Build
ngs Bureau has declared that the schoolhouse Is
unsafe but IL the Tammany and assistant Iammany
members Of the Board Of Education had attended 10
their duties In this respect well they look after
their political interests. this building now would be IN
condition for use. The members of the BoaId OF
Education whose duty Is to see to the buildings and
have repairs made to them when 1t IS necessary are
following the Old Tammany trick in this instance to
remove the responsibility for their own neglect from
their shoulders and attempt to place it upon the
shoulders Of those who hava performed their duty
The law requires that the inspectors whose duty
IL is to inspect the school buildings should make re
port to the Board of Education at least once year
upon the condition Of the school houses In their dis
trcts These reports generally sent In at the
first Of the year. and read al the FIRST meeting OF the
Board after that date. On January OF this year
James G Janway W. L. WILDER and C. F. c. Wahle
who the inspectors of the district IN which Is Gram
mar school No. 80, made elaborate report to the
Board Of Education concerning this school. In that
report is the following. which from its Importance
must surely havs caught the attention Of the mem

To this report not the slightest attention has been
paid until the school was opened In September. Then
IL was found that the building unsafe. and the
subject having been brought 10 the attention OF the
members Of the poard of Aldermen. resolution was
passed by this body calling upon the Mayor to Inquire
Of the Board of Education to tn cause for closing
the school and shutting out the children In the district
who desired TO attend II. The meeting at which
the communication from the Mayor asking for the re
dured information read given up TO pretend
