A TEACHER WHIPS A FAMILY.-Pro-
fessor Charles Hisby, principal of the
public school of New Egypt, N. j., was
arrested Wednesday afternoon on four
charges of assault and battery, and up
to a late hour had been unable to Sc
cure the $1,000 bail required to procure
his release.
The affray, which resulted in the ar
rest of Principal Hisby, took place We'd
nesday, and caused considerable ex-
element and indignation. Miss Ida
Win, the 14-year-old daughter of Jacob
Win, refused to perform some task as
signed by the principal, and he brutality
grabbed her by the throat with one
hand and covered her mouth with the
other to stihe her screams. A brother
of the girl ran into the street calling for
help, and then told his mother of the
affair. Mrs. Win went to the school
house, accompanied by her daughter
Pauline and her two sons, Abe and
Reuben. When she demanded an ex-
PLANTATION from Principal Hisby of his
conduct, and asked that Ida be allowed
to go home, the teacher attacked the
party with q poker, which he used
very freely. Mrs. Win was badly
bruised about the arms, Pauline receiv-
ed severe wound about her head and
Abram is suffering from scalp wound.
The injuries of Miss Pauline were at
tended by DR.. c. E. Woodward, ir..
and are quite serious. During the me.
lee the children ran from the school
screaming with terror.

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC l, 1898.

THE RECENT removal of the only
member of The civil service commission
who was in favor of the strict construc-
ton of the civil service law and of its
impartial administration, so that it
might not, as it has been in the past
and is now, be availed of by the two
republican members as the ready means
by which republicans can he retained
in and democrats be excluded from fed
eral office, affords a patent illustration
of the lack of wisdom in the last Con-
eress. as evinced by the failure to adopt
the common sense advice of some OF
the democratic members of that body,
which was to make no provision for the
support of the civil service commission
and therefore, to let it die of inanition,
as there is no other way by which 1t
can be killed during the present adj
ministration. The democratic party
would regain no small part of its i'm
mense loss of popularity if its repre-
sentatives in the fify-third Congress
shall be wiser in the matter referred to
than were those in the fifty-second.

PICToU, N. s., Dec. 1.-Sir John
Thompson and Sir Charles H. Upper
addressed great political demonstra-
ton here yesterday in reference to the
tariff bill to be submitted to Con-

The premier dwelt on the fact that in
stead of being in the direction of free
trade the democrats were clinging with
might and main to the protective pol
icy and that the duties under their pro-
posed tariff reform were much higher
than the duties levied by Canada, un-
der its protective system.

Virginia NIethodists.

The last day of the Virginia Metho-
dist conference in Danville was an in
teresting one in the matter ofdebates.
The first subject discussed was football,
brought up by resolutions offered by
DR.. A. G. Brown condemping the mar
ner of playing football at the colleges as
being brutal, demoralizing in influence,
injurious to health and dangerous to
contestants, and that faculties of COL
leges under the watch, care and patron
age of the Methodist Church be urged
to do all in their power to put down
football. Some Of the younger minis
tiers, who have just left college, defend
ed football, one going so far as to ridi-
Guile the resolutions and declare the
conference about to make a ridiculous
spectacle of itself. He offered a substi-
tute, that a committee be appointed to
draw up set of rules, to be known as
Conference Football Rules" and that
students of Randolph Macon and other
colleges under the church be required
to play by them. Another substitute,
modifying the language of the original
resolutions, and merely expressing dis
approval of the evil tendencies of foot
ball. was adopted.
Another animated discussion was pre-
cipitated by the report of the commit
tee on publishing interests. The report
severely criticises the management Of
the Methodist publishing house at
Nashville, Tenn, declaring that the
Nashville house is charging too much
for its books and periodicals, they be-
ing higher than the same books and
periodicals published by other printing
houses. 1t also criticised the inefficient
clerical service of the publishing house.
Speeches in defense of the house and
others sustaining the report were made.
After several amendments seeking a
modification of the severe language in
the report were voted down, the re-
port was adopted.
The division question came up again
on memorial to the General Confer
ence praying that this conference be
granted the power to divide the confer
ence within the next four years.
At the night session the appoint
ments for the conference year were an
nounced and Conference adjourned.

WASHINGTON. Dec. l, 1898.
President Cleveland to-day appoint
ed First Lieut.. James e. Sawyer, of the
Fifth Artillery, Captain and Assistant
ouartermaster. This appointment was
made under probably the most strenu-
Gus pressure ever brought to bear upon
a President, nearly every 1st lieutenant

motion. Captain Sawyer was born in
Washington, D. c., and was appointed

without passing through the Military
Academy. Hei reputed to be wealthy.
Secretary Lamont says that neither

THE SENATORIAL CoNTEsT.-The
Richmond correspondent Of the Nor
folk Ledger says: "The published state
ments to the effect that there is an i'm
preston that portion of the money
contributed to the democratic cam
paign fund was used in furthering the
candidacy of senatorial candidate, has
caused considerable stir. The infor-
nation upon which these limitations
are given out is understood to be fur
nished by the managers and friends of
Fitz Lee. They are not new by any
means. These same intimations and
inuendoes were offered to newspaper
correspondents week ago. That the
railroads did contribute largely to the
democratic campaign fund is admitted.
A certain big railrad system is under
stood to have given something like So
600. One thousand went through the
hands of the State chairman, and the
balance possibly through some other
channel. 1t is stated upon the very
highest authority that this money was
not intended to advance the candidacy
of any particular senatorial candidate,
butwas for the general good of the cause.
The public discussion of these matters
may possibly result in an investigation
of the whole subject, either by the
Legislature or the courts. OF course,
if railroad contributed this money its
stockholders have the right to know
it and the object for which it was given.
The whole matter is becoming quite in
teresting, and it will not be surprising
if it does not result in defeating both
Lee and Martin. Of course the animus
of the whole thing, so far as Lees man
ayers go, must be to compass Mr.. Mar
tins overthrow. That gentleman
may or may not be able to
secure the nomination, but it is
quite certain that he is strong enough to
defeat his leading opponent.

Wedding ut The Plains.

Grace Church. The Plains, was the
scene Of beautiful wedding on We'd
nesday evening, when Miss Charlotte
C. Cochran, daughter of DR.. J. H. Coch-
ran, of this place, was married to Mr..
r. i. Cochran, of Alexandria. Their
Young friends had decorated the
church beautifully with evergreens and
chrysanthemums. Long before the
hour appointed for the ceremony a
large concourse of friends had assem-
bled, and the church was filled to its
utmost capacity. The wedding march
was played, in her best style by Miss
Dudley, and promptly at four o'clock
Bishop Dudley, Of Kentucky, and Mr..
Norwood came into the church. The
handsome groom and his best man, Mr..
John Cochran, advanced from the side
door to the chaucel rail. The ushers-
Messrs. Boothe, Lewis, Garnett, Car
ter, Fishback, Turner, Cochran and
Davis, all fine looking young men
marched by twos down the aisle, while
behind them came the lovely brides
maids in similar order-Miss Minnie
Mason and Miss Clara Conley in yell
low, Miss Alice Cochran and Miss Eve
lyn Bryan in green, Miss Mamie Boyd
and Miss Gay Robertson in pink, and
Miss Genevieve Arnold and Miss Lilly
Boyd in blue silk.
They each carried a wand the
color of their dresses, and when the
chancel was reached they were raised
to form an arch under which soon
passed the maid of honor, Miss Fanny
Cochran, the brides pretty sister, in
becoming dress of white crepon with
lavender satin sleeves, sc. Then came
the lovely bride upon her fathers arm.
Her dress was of crepe de chine with
chiffon and pearl trimming. The tulle
veil was fastened by diamond and
pearl star, the gift of the groom, and she
carried lovely bouquet of bridal roses.
The Bishops clear ringing tones in the
service made the ceremony doubly i'm
pressive. He recalled perhaps a SINH
lar scene twenty-six years ago, when
he had officiated for the first time in
this service at the marriage of the
brides parents. At the close of the
ceremony reception was held at DR..
Cochran's residence, which was attend
ed by the bridal party and relatives.
The happy couple left on the six o'clock
train for Niagara amid shower of rice
and good wishes from the crowd of
friends assembled to see them off. The
young people then returned to DR..
Cochran's where dancing was kept up
till the "wee small hours"

Fire in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. Fire broke out at
9 o'clock this morning in the Haymar-
ket Theatre building. The front of the
building which is occupied by stores,
saloons and the offices of doctors, den
fists, photographers, real estate agents
and jewelers., was completely Quilted.
The fire wall which separates the thea
tire proper from the front of the build
ing saved it from destruction. The
only damage done to the theatre was
caused by water, which poured in Nj
agara torrents into the foyer and part
of the second balcony. The loss to the
theatre will not exceed $1,000. 1t is es-
timated that the loss on the building
and contents will amount to $50, 900.
The elevator boy, at the risk of his life,
carried his car several times from the
ground to the top of the building and
rescued women from the flames which
were eating their way to the roof.
Water froze on the fire apparatus as it
fell anu enveloped all in white sheet.

THE PLATFORM upon which Presi-
dent Cleveland and the democratic
Congress were elected, declared that
''thc federal government has no consti-
tulional power to impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purposes Of
revenue only" That declaration was
wise. And yet, though the tariff tax on
raw wool and iron will be removed by
the new tariff bill, a high tax will be
imposed by that bill upon the articles
made of those materials, solely for the
purpose of protecting them. The
democratic members of the ways ard
means committee of the U. S. House OF
Representatives evidently agree that
political platforms are "ghtterlng
catchworns."

IT is hoped Congress will not provide
for the construction Of the additional
naval vessels recommended by Secreta-
nv Herbert. Several of those recently
built have proved to be unseaworthy
by reason of being top-heavy, and it
certainly would not be wise to build
any more until the cause of the defect
in those referred to can be discovered,
and the model be changed accordingly.
In the present low stage of the federal
treasury, the expenditure of millions of
money on worse than useless ships
would not only be foolish, but be high
" reprehensible.
