Marshal Ed Keller, Of Bridgeport,
went to Portland yesterday and arrest
ed Sam Birch, of that place, on suspi-
cion OF being the man who hired n horse
and buggy from Hills stable several
days ago, but neglected to bring it back.
He was brought to Bridgeport and COM
mitted to Jail for a hearing. Birch pro-
tests his innocence, and the liveryman
who hired the team identifies him rs
the man who drove it away. Whether
Birch is the man will doubtless be
learned at the hearing.

INTERESTING SESSION
OF the Marshall County Teachers
Institute Yesterday.
SEVERAL BRANCHES DISCUSSED.
Teachers Take Part in the Instruc-
tion--some of the Points They DIFF
fered OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Taught
For the First. Time.

The second day OF the Marshall county
teachers institute opened auspiciously
yesterday morning, with ia teachers
present, 5s gentlemen and Sc ladies.
The exercises opened with singing by
the excellent choir, and Rev. II. Wilson,
OF Louisville, KY, led in prayer, and
read some selections from the Bible.
Mr.. Wilson is totally blind, and stated
that when boy he lost his sight
through the Carelessness and drunken
ness OF n physician, and that for nine
teen years he had never seen Gods sun
light, He explained tho print OF the
Bible from which he read, and the
different branches Of learning taught In
schools for tho blind, including many Of
the higher sciences and arts. The blind
are taught arithmetic, algebra, chemls-
try, etc, thoroughly. As arule, at the
college he attended, five problems in
arithmetic were given the student, and
il he failed in single one, he was
placed back IN the grade below, After
school hours, which ended at $3.50 p. M,
they were placed in the broom shop,
whore they learned to make brooms.
They are also taught to crochet and do
innCy bead work. The instruction TO
the blind, he said, was almost as thor
oHgh as that in other schools. A col
lection amounting to SIG OF was taken
up for Mr. Wilson to aid him along with
his college course.
instructor D. T. Williams opened the
subject OF arithmetic. He gave an expo
sition OF numbers, explaining the differ
ent methods Of expressing and reading
numbers

A TRIYIE pIscrssRp.

One suggestion OF the instructor elicit.
ed some discussion. Ho had on the
board the number 7,485, and asked to
have It read. Il was read "seven thou
sand four hundred and sixty-fve." He
said that some Of the best later authors
omit the and, and give it "seyen thou
sand four hundred sixty-fVe," and that
he was inclined to adopt that method Of
reading numbers. He further said that
it is the practice of many Of the most
noted speakers, ministers and lawyers.
The majority OF the teachers preferred
the old method.
The next topic, "0rthography," was
under the instruction OF Mr.. I. ]. Par
sons. Mr.. Parsons gave thorough and
technical class drill in the elementary
sounds. Some OF the teachers found it
difficult to give the proper sounds,
though they knew when they were cor
rectly pronounced.
Grammar was the next on the pro-
gramme.
Instruction on the subject was given
by Mr.. ]. I. King, who confined himself
to the infnitive used as a noun. SEN
fences embracing intinitives were writ
ten on the board, and the teachers re-
quested to parse the words. Some
parsed according to one authority and
some another. Mr.. Holbrook's work
on grammar was criticised by some,
and sustained by others. Exception
was taken to Mr.. Holbrook where he
says in his work that the sentence, at
is me-" is proper. 1t was thought by
some that the nominatiye, /, should be
used, and not the objective, me. This
was given as one Of the errors in his
grammar.

l1NlL NON
was the only topic at the afternoon ses-
sion. This sub ect was assigned to Mr..
L. Bonar. Mr.. Bonar had an outline OF
the Constitution OF the United States
written upon the board, and proceeded
to explain the different branches Of the
government, and to ask questions con-
corning them.
A lively discussion was brought out
on the money question, and the national
banking system. The argument became
so spirited that Mr.. Bon0r refused to
hear further discussion OF these particu-
lar questions. Mr.. Chase wished to ap-
peal to the chair; but Mr.. Bonar would
not permit him to do so.
In discussing the legislative branch
OF the national government, Mr.. Bonar
asked il n man, resident in another
State, were eligible to DO elected as
Senator for this State. Several teachers
answered in unison that they could do
that in Ohio, but not in West Virginia.
1t was finally decided, however, that
under the constitution one to be eligi-
bic to the Senate must be n resident OF
the State for which he is elected.
The next topic, bookkeeping" was
assigned to Mr.. Robert Riggs, who at
once went into his subject in a practi-
cal way. The board was constantly
used to explain this branch Of study,
This being q new study in the schools
OF this State, and one in which the
teachers are to be examined this year
for the first time, close attention was
paid to the instructions.
Mr.. w. S. Powell followed with q
practical class drill on the maps Of
Europe. Its boundary, area, principal
rivers, mountains and products, forms
OF government, in fact, almost every
thing pertaining to that continent was
brought out.
The subject OF reading was under the
instruction OF Mr.. Robert Riggs. This
is q subject usually hard to interest an
institute in, but Mr.. Riggs succeeded in
creating q lively interest in it yesterday.
His treatment Of the subiectwill be even
more interesting to-day.
The topic OF school government for
yesterday was assigned to Mr.. Joiner,
the only colored teacher present. lie
handled tho subject in a way that show
ed him to be proficient teacher.
The session closed with nm hours talk
on general history by T. j. King. Last
evening Prof. F. NJ. Bowling lectured
on christianity and Civilization. ("
This evening the customary reception
will be rendered, and an attractive lit
erary and musical programme will be
rendered. Tomorrow evening Rev DR..

A HANGING HORROR
TWO SENSATIONAL SCENES In AN BXECU-
TON AT LIVERPOOL
A Priest Pushes the Hangman to One Side to Allow
the Murderer to Spsak-In the fall Of the
tho Trap the Victims Head Was
Torn From His Body.

LIVERPOOL, August 2o.-John Con-
way, the steamship fireman who was
convicted and sentenced to death Tor
the murder of the boy Nicholas Martin,
whose body was found on May 9 last
floating in sailors bag in Harden dock,
this city, was hanged this morning.
There was a sensational scene on the
scaffold. As Berry. the hangman, was
drawing the black cap over Conway's
head, the latter growled "hold on, L
want to say something"
To this request Berry replied: "You
can't speak now," and was about to pro-
coed with the execution, when the
priest who was in attendance upon the
criminal upon the scaffold hastily inter
posed, pushed the haNgman to one side
and held Conway's hand while the con-
demned man in broken tones asked for
giveness for his sins. Only when the
unfortunate wretch had done speaking
and when the priest had replied to his
plea for forgiveness, did the latter per-
nit the hangman to proceed. This in
cident caused intense excitement among
those present at the hanging, but it was
as nothing compared to the horrible
scene which was to follow.
In due course of time the drop fell
and Conway disappeared from view.
Almost Immediately afterwards the
priest began to read the confession OF
the hanging man. In this confession
Conway said that he was intoxicated
when he murdered the boy, and that
his reason for taking the boys life was
that he had a morbid curiosity to OBJ
serve the process of dying. Conway, in
the same document added that he
did not outrage the boy as
was at first suspected. While
the priest was reading, ConwaY's
confession, streaming sound was heard
from the scaffold as if quantity OF wa
ter was falling. A hurried investiga-
ton was made By the hangman and by
the prison officials, and to their horror
they found that the sound was caused
by blood which was pouring upon the
prison floor from Conway's neck. The
fall, 1t appears, had been so severe that
the criminals neck had been practically
torn from his body; In fact the head
was only held to the body by the mus
cleS of the neck.

Effects or Mckinley Law Disguised.

LONDON, August 2O.-The Doitu Netcs
referring to President Harrison's speech
at Albany, says: "The evil effects OF
the Mckinley law are disguised by the
coincidence of good crops in America
and bad harvests in Europe. McKin-
ley's adherents will note the position
with JOY and try to persuade the people
with the usual disregard of connection
between cause and effect, that the tariff
has not diminished Americas export
trade. Thus Americas opportunity for
escaping the immediate effect of her
economical mistakes comes up once
more"

COL. sUTHERLAND's ADDRESS.

am here at the instance Of some OF
your people, and desire TO say few
words in reference to this important
matter. am not Senator, lawyer
nor an orator, but have some facts
which | would like to present to you in
plain way. Am not now officially
connected with any railroad, nor ally
bridge company, nor employed by any
such corporations.
The Wheeling Bridge and Terminal
Company has not earned the money
asked for, but used the Ohio county, or
rather the prestige it gave them to de-
feat valuable and legitimate railroads TO
the city of Wheeling, entailing ire
parable loss TO the business interests of
Wheeling.
Judge Cochran obtained a grant or
license from Commodore Garrison in 's4
TO organize q financial scheme that
would build a railroad from Bowers
town, Ohio, to Wheeling. Six months
time was given in which to work UP the
| scheme. In this time allotted Cochran
failed. Six months extension was
granted, and Cochran again failed most
utterly. Pending this arrangement all
right of way, deeds, contracts, unpaid
subscriptions, engineering, data and
all matters OF value pertaining to this
part of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
was listed and placed in the
hands of trustee, a Mr.. G. w.
Davis, President Of the Second National
Bank Of Toledo. In the aforesaid
twelve months Cochran and myself ac-
auired from the owners along this line
| of survey made by the w. Il L. E. road
| from Bowerston to Wheeling. by con-
tract and otherwise, an almost COM
plete right-of-way in the name of this
| new organization, known as the South
Penn and Ohio Railroad Company, char
tered and organized under the laws of
| Ohio, with a board OF five directors, to-wit:

Cochran 1.-THE two latter sons Of r. II.
c. of Toledo; P. r. Wood, of Martins
Ferry, and L. w. Sutherland, Of South
| field, Ohio. No stock in this company
was held outside Of the directory, and
the directors controlled the stock. The
new company had no trouble in secur-
ing right-of-way.
But Cochran having failed under his
agreement with the Wheeling and Lake
Erie as to financiering and building OF
this Bowerston and Wheeling line, he
did not, as an honorable man should
have done. return his work AID proper
ty to the interest that gave IL; on the
contrary he caused to be placed on rec
ord ali the contracts for right of way

ton, viz: the South Penn and Ohio Rail
