The city council occupied most of its time
at last nights meeting in discussion of the
proposal for the erection of twelve or four
teen railroad gates at the railroad crossings
of the streets. The common council had, at
it's last meeting, passed an ordinance re-
quiring twelve gates: but the matter had
been laid over in the aldermen. During last
week conference was held between some
representatives Of the railroad and some
members of the council and. as result, the
aldermen at the meeting last night amend
ed the ordinance so as to REQUIRE but four
gates. The council refused to concur and
on the report OF committee of conference
two additional gates were added 10 the or
dinance. TnIs, however. was not acceptable
TO the lower board; and a proposal requlr-
ing double gates at some twelve crossings
having been submitted. the question Went
over until the next meeting

The schooner Louise H. Randall, from
Philadelphia for Boston. went ashore dur
ing yesterday off Smiths Point, opposite
Bellport, L. 1. Her captain, Hawthorne,
his wife. his son, and eight members of the
crew dashed themselves to the spars. Every
saving people, but their life lines would not
reach the vessel, and the surf was SO
heavy that they could not use the boat. At
a late hour last night the observer at Fire
Island reported the schooner Louise H.
Randall breaking up rapidly.
There Is an unknown two-masted lumber
laden schooner, apparently British, ashore
on Deer Island, off Massachusetts,. She lies
on q rocky bottom, bow on. A tug has gone
to her assistance.
Tug Mary A. Beverage. Capt. L. D. Pot

Conn. yesterday morning, and reported
that at about $3.50 Am. she was obliged, for
their own safety, to cut loose from two of
them because of the gale and heavy sea.
At 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon. Capt.
Charles Stone of Swampscott Mass, noted
from the beach that onlythe two topmasts of
a schooner could be seen out of water be-
tween Dread Ledge. Swampscott, and Egg
Rock light. A volunteer crew left the beach
soon after in the Humane Society lifeboat
for the wreck. One of the schooner's boats
was found bottom up and the other had
been smashed in hitting against the side
of the vessel. The schooner had sunk in
about twelve fathoms of water, and 1t Is
supposed she struck on Dread Ledge and
drifted off toward Egg Rock. 1t is thought
by the Swampscott fishermen that she was
loaded with cement and was about 100 tons.
Nothing is known of the fate of the crew.

LONDON'S TOWN TOPIC.
Squire AbingdOn's 100000 Check Be-
comes a celebrated Case"

SohaCS SaSe.
The queens bench division of her ma
jesty's high court of justice in London was
filled yesterday with large and expactant
crowd. eager to hear the evidence in what
they believed would be a cause calebre."
The case grew out of a check given by
the late Abingdon Baird, better known as
Squire Abingdon" to Mrs. Lily Langtry.
The check was for the sum of 100000.
Shortly after Baird had given this princely
gift to Mrs. Langtry the two had a quar-
rel. and Baird determined that if it was
possible he would prevent Mrs. Langtry
from enjoying the money. He knew that to
demand the return of the check himself
would result in refusal, so he thought he
would use diplomacy. He went to Mr..
employed him to get the check or the
money back, promising to give him one
third OF the amount. Seaton quietly went
10 work and after some delay he secured
the money and turned it over to Baird.
The la tier gave Seaton check for 10000,
but when 1t was presented for payment
Seaton was surprised to find that payment
had been stopped.
He learned that Baird had become recon-
ciled with Mrs. Langtry and this enlight-
ened him as to why he could not obtain
the money his check called for.
Efforts to get Baird to pay his debt failed
and after his death Seaton brought suit
against the executors of Baird's estate to
recover the amount claimed.
The case came up yesterday and hence
the crowd in the court room, all of whom
expected to hear evidence bearing on the
relations that had existed between Baird
and Mrs. Langtry. Not only was the court
room filled. but an immense throng strug-
gled about the entrance, hoping that by
some means they would gain ingress. They
were disappointed in getting in and the
crowd inside were disappointed as well.
Counsel for Mr.. Seaton had hardly begun
his address when Sir Henry James. counsel
for the executors, arose and asked for the
xxvif 1vaxx -
granted and the case will be settled out
of court

some OF them poverty STRICKEN, ana we want
the same privileges as are accorded the ue-
nominatlonal schools in Europe and in Can
ada or course we will have the usual
amount of bgotry against us, but we have
always had to contend with that"
Bisnop Paret OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Maryland said:
Il am decidedly opposed to this move
ment. 1t seems clear that it is the duty of
the state or civil authority to take care for
and insure, as far as possible, sound and
useful education for all the people.
Ignorance would be the deterioration and
downfall of the nation, sound general in
struction one of its great projections. The
maintenance of public schools is a neces-
sity, therefore. for the public welfare Tax
alton to sustain these schools Is a necessity,
and tax for that purpose will certainly
be more cheerfully borne than for any
other.
Happily, in this country there is not and
cannot be an established religion or church.
Full liberty of conscience is insured to ALL
Cnhappily, differences and divisions about
religion are many and great OF necessity,
therefore, no form of religion or worship
can make part of the public school instruc-
ton.
THE argument made by Roman Catholics
that they are paying double tax is utterly
fallacious. They pay but one educational
tax, that to the state for the public schools
The other expense is voluntary religious
contribution. just as really as pew rent or
offerings at church of contributions for mis-
sions or for the poor. 1t is purely and alb
solutely voluntary. and the good sense of
the American people is too strong to be
blinded by that curious argument Of a
double tax.
''The state taxes ALL but not to pay for
the special personal benefits which each
child receives in educst ton. 1t taxes the
chil1less, therefore. But 1t is for the bene-
fits which come to the whole community in
good order and progress and each ones
personal benefit comes through that Let
those, then, who want schools. more to
their liking than our public schools be free
to have them. but / repeat 1t must be at
their own cost"
