Hard Hit On the Field.

We had been held In reserve for
five long hours while cannon thun-
dered and muskets cracked spitefully
all along the front mile away. A
procession OF dead and wounded had
filed past US until we were sick with
horror. Shot and shell aud bullet had
fallen upon us behind the woods until
the dry dead grass bore many stain
OF blood.
The air is alive with the ring 81
bullets and the whizz and shrek Of
shot and she'll. We bend our heads
as II breasting a fierce gale laden
with icy pellets. There is a wild CRY

and fall to the earth, but no one heeds
them-no one hesitates. 1t Ia a hur-
ricane OF death, but we feel wild
exultation in breasting it. Men shout,

RESIGNATION ASKED.
Ugly State of Affairs in the Seventh
Ward School, Allegheny.
PROFESSOR JONES' PLACE FILLED.
The Northside Teachers Wake Up and Hold
Lively Institute.
SEX OF TIE SPRINGFIELD PRINCIPAL

There is a sensation in the educational
circles of Allegheny. The resignation of
Prot. Milton Jones, of the Seventh
ward school, who has taught for 90 years in
the ward, and instructed over half the
people of the district, has been asked for.
The trouble arose over the fact that the
Board of Directors did not give such public
statement in q acondensed form as is required
by law, of the receipts and expenditures for
the year, including assets and liabilities, as
passed upon by the auditors. The violation
OF this law is punishable by fine not ex-
ceeding $500.
This fact led to rumors that there was
some crookedness in tine board. A relative
of Prof. Jones was blamed with the circu-
lation of these rumors, but the punishment
fell upon Prof. Jones himself. His resig-
nation was demanded last Wednesday night.
Ttis he refused to tender HoYever. the
board elected in his place Mr.. Gilchrist,
who has taught night school in the ward for
the last two seasons. Mr.. Gilchrlst was
elected for this unexpi-ed term aud for the
term beginning next September, but as
Prof. Jones has refused to resign Mr.. Gill
christ cannot take charge till the opening
of school next September.
There is talk OF an indignation meeting.
The action of the board, SO far as the cleo
tion of Mr.. Gilchrist for next year is con-
cerneG, would not be considered legal in
Pittsburg. but is so considered oD the North
side. The school boards organize over there as
soon after the February election as they wish.
frof; Jones is an OLD man, and feels his position
keenly,

A Colored Porter, Good Work.

Superintendent Luckey, while on his way to
the National Educational Association of Su-
sperintendsnts, held at Philadelphia last week,
picked up nice story about :he colored porter
of the day express. on which he travelled to
the Quaker City. This porter is Lewis G.
Watts. and is one of the most efficient and
certainly the best educated on the road. At
one one Time ne naa progressed far into the studies
for the ministry, but he decided he could do
more for his race if he educated his
sister as teacher. which he did, and she, after
having graduated from the University at At
lanta, Ga, started a school built by this BROTH
er at Covington, Ga, for the education of
charge.
This porter not only educated his sister,
bought the lot and built the school, but also
pays the teachers salaries. He has another
project on hand now, in the shape of the
establishment of another school, and is saving
his money for this purpose. Watt is very well
educated in mathematics, science and the Ian
guages as many inquiring people have
discovered The sister referred to is now Mrs.
Dina Pace

THE CITY'S ANSWER.
Reply Filed in the Case Brought by
Residents of Bayard Street.
PAVED BY DUQUESNE COMPANY.
An Interesting Decision Rendered Yester-
day by Judge White.
NEWS NOTES FROM THE JUSTICE MILL

An answer was fled yesterday by W. G,
Moreland for the city in the suit OF Thomas
Gamble and Martha A. K ennedy VS. the
Duquesne Traction Company ct al. 1t is
an action to recover damages to property on
Bayard street by reason Of regarding and
building the Craig street railway.
The answer states that prior to establishing
the grade alluded TO noue had been made on
the street, and what Improvements were to be
made on the properties fronting on the street
by the owners were made with the knowledge by
them that the grade finally established was to
be the one adopted. 1t is the one most bene-
fcial to property owners and travellers. The
Department of Public Works. in the absence
of any acts of Councils to prevent, has power
to fix grades where none exist.
The work Of Booth & Finn, contractors OF the
Craig street railway, is in no sense a grading
by the city. Application was made by them to
ascertain what grade had been established by
the Department of Public Works. and the rail-
way was built accordingly. Under their con-
tract with the city the Duquesne Traction
Company paved the street and the expense of
filling it to the established grade was paid by
the Craig street railway.
Plaintiffs in the case are said to have learned
what the grade would be by APPLYING at the
office of the Department of Public Works, and
had made their improvements. moving house in
accordance with it. 1t is averred in the answer
that the property OF the plaintiffs has been
greatly benefited by the present grade and in
no sense has damages been incurred.

Morrissey's Statement
Speaking on this matter the other day
valued old friend of mine repeated to me the
opinion of the once famous John Morrissey on
the question. My friend said: Il met Morris
sey year after he had fought Heenan and he
told me that he had fought at l65 pounds that
being his very best weight. He went on to say
that when he fought Yankee Sullivan he
weighed l75 pounds and soon discovered that
he was not in his best form. His face and body
was easily bruised and his wind was not good.
When he was matched to fight Heenan he was
trained according to mis- own ideas and that was
to get as light as possible without Impairing bis
strength. He soon discovered that about 165
pounds was his mark and he fought at that.
He was never in better condition in his life.
Our fighters of to-day ought tost a lesson
from Morrissey's advice" TIE foregoing is
very significant statement l may shortly re-
sumo this subjecr, as there are many interesting
features about it. but have not space to-day
to pursue it further. PRINGLE.

The Ownership of Several Forty-Third

A suit in equity and an injunction was en-
tered yesterday by John j. Fisher, ST., ct al
against Galen e. Hartman and S. H. Mckee.
The plaintiff alleges that when his vile, Mary
Fisher died on August IA, 1889, she left five lots

children. An alleged will was filed which the
husband and children refused to accept and
bringing suit, contested it. which contest is not

The latter then went to LOUIS Celia Jr., the
owner of two mortgages on the property
amounting to s475 each, and by alleged false
representation induced him to assign them to
the defendants, and have since caused them to
be advertised for sale by the Sheriff.
The plaintiff alleges that he rendered the de-

Many Neighbors Who Ate the Toothsome
Links Have Trichinosis.
IDA GROVE, IA, Feb. 2S.-There is some
excitement in this locality, about six miles
south of here, over several cases of trichi-
nosis, three of which have proven fatal, and
some 10 more persons afflicted are not ex-
pected to recover The disease first ap-
peared in the family of Chris Weinberg, an
industrious German farmer. The family
have had considerable company, and many
persons have been exposed.
The family lately butchered and made a
large amount of sausage, and friends and
neighbors were called in to partake of it.
Those who did so were afterward taken
down with peculiar sickness. They grad
ually grew worse and became stiff and sore.
The disease was at first pronounced typhoid
fever by a neighborhood physician, but
older physicians were called and pro-
nounced it genuine trichinosis. Many who
ate the deadly sausage are ill and others
are fearful of being taken down.
