The City Board of Education Holds an
Executive Session.
The City Board of Education held a
meeting last evening, but the greater
portion of it was star-chamber session.
There is a vacant leadership to fill at the
high school, and the board preferred to
discuss the qualifications of the two can
didates-Miss F. de Laguna and Mr.. Gun
nisOn-in private. When the doors were
thrown open the Chairman called for
nominations, but there were none, and
the matter went over for the next meet
ing.
But little regular business was at
tended to.
Director Crouch reported that the
rooms of the high school needed whiten-
ing, and the board ordered the work
done.
\ communication was received from
Ferdinand Fisher, teacher of physical
culture in the public schools, recommend
ing that the board furnish each teacher
i'll the department with copy OF Betz' s
book on physical culture so they could
assist him in his work.
Major w. A. Gett addressed the board
once more with reference to the accident
to Mrs. Cecilia Cummings, who fell
through q rotten sidewalk belonging to
the School Department. Major Gett said
Mrs. Cummings was not asking for dam
ages, but simply wanted the doctor bills
paid. She was still in bed, and was liable
to be confined to her bed for several
months yet. The Major asked that the
lady be allowed $500.
The Directors discussed the matter, and
finally agreed to allow the money.
The following bills were ordered paid:

William Phillips, IIop-Picker,
Robbed OF His Wealth.
\ laborer named William Phillips, who

ranch beyond Brighton, started for the
city on Sunday evening to see the ele-
phant and other curiosities of the Capital
City, possibly including the City Jail.
On the road he fell in with three men
of social proclivities, and at the nearest
roadside inn he treated them freely to
hop-pickers' delight. The quartet prac-
ticed before the bar for an hour or SO,

ward the city, with 50 in an inside poke
After he had gone about half a mile his
whilom friends overlook him, but they

short, they threw him down and robbed
him of all the money he had. Then they
commanded him to git" and he got

How Officer WetzeI's Assailant Got
Out of the City.


1t looks very much as if George Clark,
the man who shot Special officer Wetzel
on Sunday night and who got out of
town with the police force and bowling
mob at his heels. might escape capture.
He boarded the S:15 freight train yester-
day morning, and lit is said alighted at
Davisville. But it is difficult to see how
he could have got aboard train with
several policemen to patrol the depot aud
the bridge across the river, as 1t cannot be
assumed that they left such an avenue of
escape open to him.
However, it appears the fellow got
away, and yesterday the Davisville Con-

Inquest at Angels Camp.
SAN ANDREAs, Aug. 28.-An inquest
was held in Angels Camp yesterday over
the dead body discovered Friday last by
Iaborers who were cleaning a spring of
water on the ranch of W. w. Hazard,
about two miles from the Ross place, on
the trail leading from Rossland to Elk
horn Station. The jury rendered the tol-
lowing verdict:
That deceased came to his death by
violence, at the hands of some party or
parties unknown, and the remains, in the
unanimous opinion OF the jury, are those
OF Albert A. Ross, who SO mysteriously
disappeared in May, 1887. The jury's
reasons for so thinking are, first, the
teeth of the lower jaw Of the dead man
are identical with those of Ross; second,
the contour of the head is similar: third,
the red pieces Of beard are of the same
color, and the remains of the skeleton are
those OF large man, about six feet"

ADJUSTMENTS

There was produced last night at the
Opera-house a drama richer in moral
teaching than many sermons, fuller Of
lessons than a hundred volumes upon
tho same subject and of such sustained
human interest that one wishes well for
his fellows who desires the entire COM
munity to see ii. Mr.. Wards fine com
pany presented the old, old dramatic
story, but ever fresh and true tale of
Ten Nights in a BarrOom." 1t was cap
italy played and was made a lesson on the
dangers OF drink that must have been i'm
pressed deeply upon every soul in the
large audience. Little Idalene OMalley
was the new face in the cast. AS the
drunkard's child she scored emphatic
success. 1t was natural strong and
touching effort for one so young. Mr.
Wards Morgan was q powerful piece OF
work, study from life, an artistic and
finished effort, nor marred by over-color,
nor made repulsive by exaggeration of the
mlserles OF the drunkard's life. In the
Gelirium scene he reaches a climax that
in Vlvldness, cunning of the mimicry
and tragic effort is rarely equaled. The
burden next greatest falls upon Mr.. Ba-
con, whose Swichel is as neat a bit Of low
comedy and character study as we have
ever seen in any play OF this character.
The whole company appeared to excel
lent advantage, and not one read line
who does not deserve to be named in COM
mendatiOn. There is no scenic effect, no
costumery, no cunning stage devices, no
intricacy of plot to aid the actors and as
sist them in holding attention, but they
commanded and had it from an audience
that was warm in its manifestations of
approval. The piece proves the new stock
company to be versatile, plastic and capa-
bic of long round of varied dramatic
work. 1t is the second play in which the
new troupe has been seen, but the two
enable US to now pronounce the organi-
zation well balanced and so equipped by
ability as to fill the demand for a good,
all around stock company. Ten Nights
