Inc room INSIDE the DunuIngs must
know the rooms are too small for
the number of pupils that must be
taught in them. This is injurious
to the health of the pupils. The
water supply is also injurious and
unhealthful as the pupils must
drink the hydrant water. There
is also need of inclosing and i'm
proving the school campus. The
only means that we see of meeting
these necessary demands is
through incorporation which gives
the power, and then by local tax
which will furnish the money.

before the time set for the public

tirely informal There was no speaking.

Representatives of Gloucester, Gutten-
burg and Monmouth park are here in
force. They expect to make another at
tempt at legislation in their favor They
have abandoned all idea of getting
through the original bills, knocked out
by the meeting a week ago. A new

been drawn, and is in the hands of Rep
resentatiye Flynn, of Paterson.
The Flynn bill provides for racing
during twenty-five days of the summer
months, at the option OF the boards of
freeholders of the various counties. The
measure benefits Monmouth Park, but
Gloucester and Guttenburg are be-
heved to have interposed no objection.

How President BarrilIas Got Rid of a
Revolutionary Leader.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. GA special
cablegram from San Salvador under
date of Feb 90 states that General En-
riques was killed yesterday by body of
Guatemalan soldiers, together with "a
number of companions, near the city of
Zacapa, Guatemala, near the Honduras
coast.
The cablegram states that General
Enriques had been unanimously pro-
claimed dictator of the constitutional
party of Guatemala, and had, in conse-
quence, incurred the active hostility of
President Barillas, who alarmed the
public by announcing that General En-
Tiques was at the head of an insurrec-
6on directed against the present gov
ernment.
President Barillas ordered General
Enriques to present himself to the au-
thorities of Lacapa. General Enfiques
proceeded at once toward that city, ac-
companied by his two brothers and a
party of friends.
A company numbering 100 soldiers,
lying in ambush on one of the roads out
of the city, fired upon General Enriques
and others of his party, killing all of
them. The cablegram attributes the
attack and killing of the party to orders

WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Stephen 3. Ellrins the Choice for Guber-
material Candidate.


PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Feb. A.-The
state convention of Republican League
clubs now in session in this city is the
largest in the Leagues history, nearly
every county in the state being repre-
sented. The absence of Secretary Elkins
is deeply deplored. The mention of his
name. however, is productive of the
greatest enthusiasm, and if he will ac-
cept the nomination for governor it is
his. When the resolutions indorsing
the recognition of Golf and Elkins by
President harrison was read the house
went wild, and proceedings were tenn
porarily suspended.
Secretary Anderson called the con-
vention to order. Augustus Nj. Pol
lock, of Wheeling, w Va. was elected
temporary chairman. Permanent Off
GERS were chosen as follows: President,
John w. Thompson: secretary, E. l.
Allen, and an executive committee of
thirteen.
Last night Hon. John M. Langston
addressed crowded house.
The general sentiment is that with
Ell1ins at the head of the state ticket
the state can be carried for the Repub-
licans by handsome majority. The
state convention will be held at Hunting
ton Aug. 8. The convention for nomi-
mating delegations to the Minneapolis
convention will be held at Martinsburg
