WOULDN'TTAKE THE MBACK
The School Board Refuses to ReinState
Teachers Once Dropped.

Miss A. @. Fitzgerald and Miss L. f.
Killorin of the Cathedral SCHOOL,
Dropped for Inefhoiency, Petition
the Board of Education for Their Old
Places-Principal O'Brien Reiterates
his Recommendation Made at the
June Meeting and the Board Con-
Arms it's Action.
AT the June meeting of the board of
education, the principals made their US
ual reports in regard to the efficiency of
teachers in their respective schools, and
two teachers in the Cathedral school,
who were reported as not having kept
their classes up to the standard, when the
election took place were not reelected.
The teachers so dropped petitioned for
reinstatement and the board held a spec
lal meeting last night to consider their
cases.
Commissioners Mercer, Read. Estill,
Tattnall, Blum, O'Bryne and Saussy were
present and Col. Mercer presided The
first petition taken up was that Of Miss
A. @. Fitzgerald, who made her state
ment Mr.. O'Brien, principal of the Ca
thedral school, reiterated to the board
what he had said a the June meeting.
The petition of Miss L. F.. Killorin was
then considered and she stated her side
of the question and Mr. OBrien made a
statement sustaining his report
At the conclusion of the examinations
the teachers and the principal retired and
the board discussed the situation.
On motion Of Capt. Blum, seconded by
DR.. Read, it was resolved that the board
could see no reason for reCOnSidering its
action and it was confirmed.
Mr. Saussy, seconded by Col Estill,
moved that Misses Fitzgerald and Killo-
rim be placed on the list OF teachers eligi-
BILE for vacancies, but the motion was lost
by vote of 1 to ,.
Mr. OByrne read letter from Mr..
Lee Roy Myers, chairman of the commit
tee on school buildings, in reference to the
final payment on the heating apparatus
of the Henry street school house, recon
mending that $500 be paid on the $3.50 due
Capt. Blum Nmoved that $500 be paid on
account, and that the balance of 1899 be re-
tanned until the work should be made
satisfactory. Adopted.
Mr.. O'Byrne reported that the promises
now rented as an annex to
St. Patricks school house are
not suitable for school purposes,
and he moved that the committee on
school buildings be authorized 10 build an
addition to the present school house. He
said the proposed addition would cost
about 81 200.
A question was raised by Nlessrs. Saus-
sy and Estill as to the right of the board
to make improvements on the St. PatIick's
school house until the regular meeting,
but the resolution was finally passed.
The additional rooms are very much
needed, and it was urged that any delay
would prevent the improvement being
made in time for. the new rooms to be
used this year.
A recommendation from Prof Thigpen
that Sheldon's Algebra be substituted as
text book in the High School in the
place of Robinson's Algebra, was referred
to the committee on school books.

Mr. Chaplin Stli Has an Rye on the
Casey Canal Measurements.
Engineer Burnett went out again yes

ing the excavations from the Casey canal
The work progressed very well during
the morning, and was about half com
pleted at ] o'clock when the rain came
up and prevented further progress Mr..
Chaplin WAS on hand yesterday to see
how the work was done, but he offered no
suggestions nor made any Interference.
MIR Burnett is doing the work careful
ly and thoroughly. He is taking careful
averages, and it is safe to say that his
result Will be as near correct as such a
measurement can be made He win go
out again to-day and viii probably COM

Mai. Blandford did not go out yester-
day on account Of official business which
detained him in the city. Neither was
Mr. Dale on hand. Maj. Blandford is
thoroughly satisfied as 10 the result of the
investigation. His measurements We're
taken while the work of excavation was
in progress and ii was done with a great
deal of care ana precision. In getting at
result of this kind only
approximate figures can be obtained, and
for this reason as well as for the reason
that the averages are taken at different

results are ever exactly the same. But
they are often approximately the same
within as near as one per
cent Where measurements are
properly made, however, there
can be no such discrepancy as is said to
exist between the figures Of Mai. Bland
ford and those taken by Col. Winu from
the measurements made by Messrs Dale
and Chaplin in the short space Of part Of
an afternoon. The presumption
is, therefore, that the work
of Maj Blandford and that of
Mr. Burnett, both of whom consumed
considerable time and did their work with
q great deal Of care will, come as near
tallymg as it is possible under the cir

Quite display of pyrotechnics was

early yesterday morning by the breaking

across the City and Suburban railway
wire and grounded, drawing the currents

was most vivid display of lightnin gflash-
es for two blocks, and the few passers-by
at that hour thought that Pains Last
Days of Pompeii had suddenly opened up
i'll the neigh borhood, so brilliant was the
display. People who saw the flashes
from distance, thought a conflagration
had broken out in that quarter. The cars
Of the Belt Line were stopped for some
time, but the break was remedied in
short time.

The abandonment Parlor Car in the
South 20 80 on the Nancy Hanks.
The Nancy Hanks viii soon have auoth-
or addition in the shape Of the handsom-
/ est parlOr car IN the south. This car,
all the work upon which has been done
at the Central railroad shops in Savan-
nah, will be completed in
a few days now and will be attached 10
the Hanks" It will be known as par
Tor car No. SOP and is the handsOmest
piece Of work ever turned out in the
| Central railroad shops or probably any
other shops in the south
The car was designed by Master Me-
chanic j. j. Anderson of the Central
railroad and every portion OF
the work has been done at the Central
shops since April /, from the triple combi
nation car trucks, which were manufac-
tured in the blacksmith shops, to the
painting of the car, which is very hand
some. Better still, 1t was done at nearly
half the cost Of the same style car at
the Pullman or any of the
northern palace car factories,
and is ample proof of the skill Of southern
mechanics and the ability of southern
railroads to manufacture their own cars
of every class.
The car is to be ca feet long hnd 10 feet
wide. 1t contains % handsome cushioned
revolving chairs, which were also made
at the Central shops, besides toilets, buff
fet and smoking room. The smoking
room contains four chairs and
lounge.
The outside coloring of the car is a dark
blue with gold trimmings, and the in
scriptiOn Nancy Hanks" upon each side.
The Clipped mirror work above the win
dows is very handsome, with the words
Nancy Hanks engraved upon the glass
with the Central railroad flag between
the two words.
The ratings of the platforms are of
highly polished brass and very handsome.
The wire grilling throughout the car is
especially noticeable for the taste and
skill Of the work
The interior of the car is finished in
solid mahogany. The windows are of
large plate glass, with patent balance
attachments making them easy for a
child to raise. Each window is hand
somely curtained. Upon the glass panels
between the windows, the figure of the
celebrated trotter Nancy Hanks, is en-
graved. Patent revolving fans are placed
near the roof, which regolve while
the car is in motion, making a perfect
ventilation throughout the car. The car
is heated with steam heating apparatus
and lighted with Pintsen gas.
The new parlor car attains the climax
of comfort and elegance for the passenger
and is destined to add still more to the
reputation of the Central, It's workman
ship is most creditable 10 the mechanics
and artisans Of the Central who designed
and completed it.

TO Tx WORLDS FAIR RATES.
The Probable Reduction to One Fare
For the Round Trip.

There is to be a meeting of the rate
committee of the Southern Passenger As
sociation in Atlanta this morning at ten
o'clock to consider a proposition looking
to the reduction Of transportation rates
to the worlds fair.
1t seems that a proposition has been
made among some of the southern rail-
roads to reduce the rate to one fare for
the round trip, and with many of them
this reduction is meeting with favorable
consideration. The low rates from Mo
bile and other points in Alabama were
also a factor in calling for the con
sideratian of the proposition. The
rate committee therefore sent out circu-
lars to all the passenger agents announc-
ing that this matter would be brought up
August 4, at special meeting to be held
in Atlanta. 1t is very probable that the
one fare round trip rate will be made
among the southern lines. The present
rate from Savannah since the last reduc-
ton is S}S 10 for the round trip, whereas
the proposed reduction to one fare would
make 1t only S23 30. General Passenger
gent,HaiIe of the Central left for Atlanta
st night to attend the meeting.

Robert williams Has Mr.. ]. P. Brown
Arrested for Assault and Battery.
An cd negro named Robert Williams
had Mr. j. p. Brown, railroad conduc-
tor, arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out in Justice Bevans' court,
charging him with assault and battery.
Justice Bevans, who has taken the place
of Justice Naughtin during the latter's
absence, will hold preliminary hearing
in the case Aug. 10.
When Williams asked for warrant he
told peculiar story He says he was
charged with beating COW by. Brown
and several other parties, who proceeded
to search to see if the COW had been
killed and Williams had the meat Will
Jams denied the charge, Notwithstanding
which he says they tied his hands behind
his back, led him away to another house
and attempted to make him admit the
charge He says he was kept tied for
several hours and then he was told he
would have TO work in Browns field at
so cents a day until the alleged damage to
the COW had been paid for in this way.
Brown denied the charges and said that
Williams agreed to work for him at so
cents day. He had him arrested be-
cause he had not fulfilled his agreement.
The case promises to be an Interesting

HovER's STOMACH STILL HERE.
Coroner Sheftan Undecided Whether
to Send it for Analysis.

to Send it for Analysis.
The stomach of l.. l.. Hover is still in
Savannah. It, remains in glass jar in
the office of acting Coroner Sheftau,
who conducted the post norton exam
nation when Hover's body was exhumed
Judge Sheftau says that the body hav-
ing been dug up, a post norton held and
two responsible physicians after a care
full examination having declared that
death would have been caused by the
breaking of an abscess on the brain Or
by fatty degeneration of the heart is
sufficient.
The elimination of the body and
the post morton will cost the
county in the neighborhood of $500
to $3.50. If the stomach is sent of
for analysis, it viii run the figures up to
near 500. The glass jar, with its con
tents, would have to be carried by special
messenger as IL could not properly be ex-
pressed. If it We're shipped by express
there would be some difficulty in identi-
flying the stomach in case anything like
poisoning was discovered through the
medium'of the analysis
Judge Sheftau does not believe that
the county should be put to the extra ex-
pense which would be incurred by the
analysis when the physicians who made
the post norton eXamlnat ion are salts
fed as to the cause of death
While do not say that / will not send
the stomach, said Judge Sheftall. "if
the. people of the county wish it
analysed | viii have it done I will await
the coming of Solicitor General Fraser,
with whom ! will have q consultation in
reference to the matter"

SHOT WHILE COOKING SUPPER.
Mrs. Howard Mitchell Wounded by a
Negro Miscreant.

GsOEA " AAASCAbaAALs
Mrs. Howard Mitchell. who lives lust
beyond Musgrove creek and near Lowell s
brick yard, was struck by a stray pistol
ball while she was cooking supper last
night. An unknown negro fired the PTS
toll from the vicinity of the Ogeechee
canal Mrs. Mitchell was hit in the up
per part of the left leg, the ball penetrat-
ing four inches and striking the bone
DIR. r. G., Norton was summoned and ex-
tracted the bullet.
1t seems that the negroes in that locali-
ty are constantly firing pistols and guns
for the fun of the thing, endangering the
lives of passers-by and residents.
The negro who shot Mrs Mitchell was
seen by her husband, who had just come
from his work at the Central railroad
shops. MIR. Mitchell did not know the
rascal who did the shooting, but he says
he can easily identify him He chased
the negro to his home on West Boundary
street, but when Mitchell got to the
house he was debarred entrance by the
inmates He endeavored in every way to
get the Negroes name, but did not succeed.
He can easily spot him, however, once he
puts his eyes on him
The negro was about twenty-five wards
from Mitchell's house when he fired tho
pistol. The door of the kitchen was open
and Mrs. Mitchell was standing near
when she was struck. She screamed, and
Mr. Mitchell ran for the negro. Mrs.
Mitchell is about fifty years old. The
wound while painful is not considered
dangerous. The bone was not fractured.

RAIL AND oRossTIE.

The Railroad Gazette gives the total
new track laid in the United States in
the last six months as about 900 miles !;
the Railway Age of Chicago about I.0l4,
The years mileage increase will probably
reach no more than 5000 miles, or the
smallest addition of track since 1878, save
possibly 1885. Railroad insolvencies have
been exceptionally numerous, though in
volving small roads as rule. The Age
numbers them for the six months at IL,
representing only 1,l04 miles and $37, 900,
600 Of stock and bond capital. But q
companies, representing 5,242 miles and
SS70, S3l, 900 of capital, have in the same
time gone into receivers hands.
