Since the recent heresy trial at
Pittsburg, at which six young minis

church r'erc found guilty of the helm

number of the ministers of that de-
nomination have declared their indie
pendence of denomination which in

The city authorities of Minneapolis
are wrestling with a financial problem
The city charter restricts the bonded
indebtedness to per cent of the as
sessed valuation. This limit has been
reached within $4,000, while there

little more than she can masticate.
Minnie and Paul might save lot of
expense if they would keep house to-

servants, instead of throwing stones
and making faces at each other as
they have been doing.
The St. Paul city and county govern
ment is going through the trials in
cident to an era of retrenchment and
reform. Salaries are being reduced,
sinecures wiped out and expense gen.
orally shaved down to the end that a
hitherto extensive rate of taxation may
be lessened. Recently the board went
over the expenditures for public school
purposes, and while reductions were
made in various items of outlay, no re-
duction in salaries of teachers was
made, and that class feel that they
have been handsomely treated. Perhaps
no profession demands harder work
for the salaries usually given than
teaching, and considering the great
Importance of having trained peda-
gogues, the rule everywhere should be

salaries, but the standard of attain
ments in that profession.

-sFFC1AI TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPArcH.,
WHEELING, April This city is greatly
stirred up over the sudden disappearance Of
Miss Amy Morgan, daughter Of Henry Nor
gan. a bookkeeper at the Exchange Bank.
Shortly after supper last Sunday Miss Amy,
With young man from Martins Ferry, started
from her home to attend church. About
O'Clock the members of the girls family heard
her and her friend talking at the gate, and
few minutes later they were heard to take leave
OF each other Miss Morgan was not heard to
enter the house after that, but nothing was
thought of this as she often spent the night
with family living nearby.
As she did not appear next morning at break
fast the members of the family became anx.
ious, and sent TO the house of a neighbo when
II was learned that she had not been there at
all. Yesterday morning the young man who
had accompanied the young lady home said he
knew nothing of her after he left her at the
gate. He said he turned to look after her. and
saw her start toward the house, and watched
her until she entered the deep shadows uncer
the trees. The young man is eminently respect
able and there has been no objection entered
by the parents to their keeping company and
The girl seemed to be in a very happy mood
when she left her escort. In all, this is one of
the most mysterious disappearances of the
many in this section, as there seems absolutely
no reason for il.
The parents of Miss Morgan were surprised
to see the young lady drive up TO their doors
under the escort of Charles Hill, who saws he
found her at the Bridgeport depot in an ex-
hausted condition. Miss Morgan states that
when she left her friend at the gate sine found
that she had dropped letter and walked back
a few steps to look for it While there she was
seized from behind by two men, who choked
her and hurried her into closed carriage,
threatening her with death if she screamed.
They drove all night. After stopping at a
lonely house, where they found no one at home,
they deliberated whether to kill her or let her
90, and decided on the latter, several miles from

ROCHESTER. PA, April THE Coro-
ner's jury in the case of the unfortunates
who lost their lives in the fire of yesterday
morning reconvened at 1 o'clock to-day,
Foreman of the Jury 3. F. McIlvaine was
taken suddenly i'll with the grip last even
ing and was unable to serve, his place being
taken by Detective Lazarus.
The first witness sworn was Maria Tee
chic, aged 16 years, the only survivor OF the
Tecchio family. She was awakened by
smoke, and heard Josef Rampoti trying to
force the back door that opened on the rear
porch. She called to all to come to the
fro MT of the house. About the same time
her mother, who had the baby in her arms,
called to all to follow her, she starting for
the side stairway. Mary then raised the front
window and jumped out There had been no
drinking, and all had been on the best of terms
The witness was gr eatly grieved as she told her
sad story, and it was with the greatest difficulty
her testimony was understood.
G. L. Edwards, who had a store beneath tn
Italians, said when he reached the place he
could not get into his store He thought the
Italians had a little over $500 They had talked
10 him of buying store, and said they had only
that amount of money. Thomas McMahon,
brakeman, who was the first on the spot. testi-
fed 10 details heretofore published. He reached
the upper window after the girl had jumped
out. He heard moans, but was unable to do
anything on account of the heat. BE thought
the fire originated in the kitchen.
John +. Smith testified that he owned all the
buildings that had been burned. He thought
the fire originated in the Keene kitchen. He
did not know there was anyone in the building
until he saw the man and his bed fall through
into the cellar There were Sl55 in gold and
500 in silver found in a TIN box and given TO
him, which he had placed in the bank. Other
witnesses were examined, when the jury re-
turned verdict that all the deceased had
come to their deaths by suffocation, the cause
OF fire being unknown.
The seven Italians of the Tecchio family
were buried from the Catholic Church this
morning and Mr.. Keene and his son from the
Presbyterian Church at p NJ. A great crowd
attended both funerals, ana many affecting
scenes occurred at the grave. Two persons
were especially prominent and intensely sad in
their bereavement. They were Mary Tecchio,
the sole survivor of the Italian family, and
Mrs. heene the bereaved wife and molher.

Our present system OF working
the roads belongs to the people Of
half Q century ago, by whom it was
originated; 1t was a success then;
but miserable failure now. Times,
customs and the people have changed,
and likewise a change must be made
in working the public roads if we
would keep pace with civilization.
Az it liz, in many parts Of the travel
is inpeded transportation retarded
and many other branches Of bust
ness, in consequence. are in a great
measure suspended, two or three
months in the year.
And in Offering remedy for these
existing evils we have only the pre-
ceden's Of other states and sister
coun 80 20 guide us; and will an.
swer with one mobilization.
Would suggest light poll-tax sup
plstnsnted by an advolorem tax
sufficient to keep the roads in good
condition. Contracts to be let to
the lowest and best bidders and no
work to be received or paid for until
reviewed by some competent person
or persons specially elected or ap.
pointed to look alter such matters.

think working roads is like farm
ing and other occupations it must
have some system about 1t II you
work by taxation there must be sys-
TEN. We cannot pave all the roads
neither can we crosslay them nor
plank them, hence this question
must turn on the amount OF work
that is done or the kind of work
that is done. Now as deep mud
makes bad roads what we want is
some system that will prevent mud.
We have been working under the
present system for long time and
still We have mud and bad mud.
Now the question is, IS 1t the fault
Of the system of road working or is
il the want OF skill in working the
roads. II We hire our road worked
and pay for it by taxation there ID
but ole way by which it will be
done in the namo. and that is by ell
evating the road and ditchlng edges,
paving or bridging the branches
Under our present system this car
be done. II the precincts are too
long so as to be burdensome, redis
trict them and make them reasona

overseers would take PRIDE IL

would be nearer what We need.

ly and work by taxation; money is
the only power that will give us good
roads,
would have q county supervisor
with a fixed salery make him respon-
sible for all the roads and enforce
the law when he failed in his duty.

we cannot have good roads the year
round. We have plenty Of timber,
stone and gravel to grade the low
places and ! know there are hun
dreds of men ard teams that can be
had if you will only show them the
money this fact has been demon
strated fully in the last two years
Men by the hundred have taken
their teams and toiled iron daylighi

worked on the road as cheap as any
where If they knew the money was
