A PISTOL AT SCHOOL.
One of the Boys VIII Not Trust to the
Defense of Fists.

Defense of Fists.
Yesterday about noon there was an ex
citing scene near New York avenue and Sd
street. where some white and colored school
boys engaged in a stone battle. The col
ored boys attend school at the Banneker
building, while the white boys,it was stated,
go to the Abbott building. Soon after the
boys were dismissed for the noon recess
there was a combat, in which Charles
Hughes. a white boy, figured. With two or
three companions, he claimed that he was
going home. when a much larger crowd of
colored boys attacked them. The stones
did no damage but the Hughes boy. fear
ing a renewal of the attack, put in his
pocket an old pistol he had at home. and
when he started back toward school he felt
able to defend himself against the whole
crowd. AS he had supposed, the trouble
was renewed. and he nred in the direction
of a telegraph pole, behind which James
johnson was hiding. Then Hughes ran to
Mr.. Barnes store, in the neighborhood and
about thirty colored boys, armed with sticks
and stones, appeared at the door. so the
witnesses in the case stated. Mr.. Barnes
sent the Hughes boy home III wagon, and
the colored boys followed. shouting police
as loud as they could.
The pistol was again drawn and pointed
at the boys. although there was no load
In 1t. When the case was heard in court
this morning the charge was assault. A
witness for the defendant said that the
boy had been trained to protect himself.
But not with pistol" interrupted the
judge. And any man who carries a pistol
in city is coward"
The witness explained that the boy had
never been encouraged to carry a pistol.
In view of the testimony Judge Miller said
he would have to dismiss the charge of as
sault, but said he would have held him had
the charge been concealed weapons.

THE kEARSARGE INQUIRY.
1t Will supply the Navy Department
With Needed Information.

AS stated in yesterdays Star, the Sec
rotary of the Navy has ordered court of
inquiry, composed of Admiral Gherardi
and Capts. Miller and O'Kanc. to convene
at the navy yard, Brooklyn, n. ", next
Monday to ascertain the cause of the
grounding of the L. S. S. kearsarge on
Roncador reef, off the coast of Nicaragua,
on the I'd instant, resulting in the less of
the vessel. The court is merely called on
to report the facts in the case and is not
to determine the measure of responsibility
of any of the officers affected. The Navy
Department will use their report as d basis
of future action, and its character will de-
termine the necessity for the trial of one
or more of the officers Of the vessel for re-
sponSbility for its loss.
In important naval cases, where there
appear to be reasonable grounds or sus-
picion where there is doubt as to re-
sponsibility, court of inquiry is usually
ordered the best way out of the difficulty.
Its duties are to collect, sift and methodize
information, so as to enable the depart
ment to decide upon the expediency of
further judicial proceedings. In the case
Of the Kearsarge, the court, according TO
the regulations, will call for the Official
report of the commanding officer, contain
ing the narrative of the disaster. This re-
port will be read in court in the presence
of the officers and crew of the ship. They
will then be sworn and examined. The
commanding officer will be asked IL the
u
wreck of the Kearsarge and also If he
has any complaint to make against any of
the officers crew of the ship in connec-
ton with the disaster. The officers and
crew Will be similarly Intercepted II they
have anything to object to in the narra-
tive of the commanding officer or IL they
have anything to lay to the charge of any
officer or man with regard 20 the wreck.
The responses to these interrogatories will
determine the subsequent line of investiga-
ton.
As TO the Navigation.
The court will also ascertain whether the
proper chart was used and whether the
position of the ship had been accurately
determined at the last observation. 1t will
call for the rough log book, the CONNIE nd
Ing officers night order book, &C, and will
ascertain whether the courses steered Were
the correct ones according to the observa-
tons; also whether the regulations were
properly observed in every particular. A
competent officer will be employed by the
court to work up the reckoning of the ship
from the data furnished by its nayigators
so as to enable the court to TX the true
position of the vessel when she ran
aground. The court itself will determine
the question as to whether or not its pro-
ceedings shall be public or private. The
record of the court will be submitted TO
the Secretary of the Navy for such action
as he deems necessary.

SAD ENDING

OF q Pleasure Drive Three Miles East os
London, GA Lady and Two Ni&ces
Struck by Train on q Crossing.
LONDON, O., Sept. 22.-Mrs. Henrietta
Buell., sister-in-law to Rev. w. L.
Slutz, pastor of the M. E. church, &C.
companied by Miss Mabel Slutz and
little sister Helen, aged about years,
started out for drive Friday morning.
In attempting to cross the Big Four
railroad at what is known as the Les
singer crossing, about three miles east
of this city, the vehicle was struck by
the west-hound passenger train.
Friday night there was two lifeless
bodies laid out in the grief-stricken
home of the beloved pastor. Mrs. Buell.
was found nearly seventy-five feet
from the crossing, with life extinct.
Mabel died Friday evening. Helen was
badly bruised at the base of the brain,
cut above the left eye, and both arms
and one leg broken. Her recovery is
impossible.
Mrs. Buell's home is near Colorado
Springs, Col, and she had been here
since the death of her sister, Mrs.
Slutz, last June. Her husband was
killed by the cars just short time be-
fore coming here. The train was in
charge of Conductor Goldrich and En-.
gineer Garfield. As the required cross
ing signal was gived, besides several
danger blasts of the whistle, there can
be no blame attached to them.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 22.-The subject of
expelling the members of the Amer
lean Protective association from the
trades and labor unions of this city is
creating considerable excitement in
labor circles. The Bricklayers' union
at meeting Thursday night consid.
cred the question Of expelling the
members of that organization belong
ing to the A. P. A. After heated dis
cussion the matter was tabled until
the next meeting. The A. P. A. organ
izotion is numerically strong in this
city, and if it's members are expelled
from the labor unions, it will result in
the local disruption of the latter organ
izations.

To Be Made Absolute Over the American
Clergy.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-Bishop Keane,
rector of the Catholic university, of
Washington, arrived from Europe
on the steamship Brittanic. The
contents of one of his letters
awaiting him here, seemed to sur.
prise him. There are more reasons
than one for the belief that the docu-
ment, which SO exercised the bishop,
was an order from Mgr Satolli for him
to proceed to Wash ington at once.
Indeed, it is not at all unlikely that
within the twenty-four hours import
ant commands from Rome will have
been issued from Washington,
which will affect in marked
degree the status of clergy
men now high in the councils of the
Roman Catholic church. 1t has been
known for long time that the Pope
intends to transfer to Mgr. Satolli all
his powers, so far as American Catholic
affairs are concerned, and the formal
and official mandate from the pope to
that effect has been expected daily.

FREE SILVER.
Senator Brice Says II May Mean Crest
Many Things.


PITTSBURGH, Sept. Ex-senator Cal.
vim S. Brice was interviewed at the
Union depot here Thursday night as he
passed through on his way to New
York from the Ohio convention. Re-
ferring to his Ohio experiences, he
said: "The insertion of the free silver
plank in the platform of the Ohio
state convention does not tie my
hands. ] do not wish to be con-
strued as saying that the platform
does not commit the Lawmakers of the
state who may be elected under its pro-
visions; I am only speaking for N.Y.
self The convention adopted set Of
resolutions, one Of which favored free
silver. A gathering of people might
unanimously say that they favored
commit one man to Mohometan-
ism, while another might have
tendency toward being Bap-
tist So it is with the free silver
plank of the convention. The vote by
which il was passed, a proportion of
about five to three, shows how the peo-
pie over there feel about it. When we
say free silver we may mean a variety
Of things. There was the free silver
law that we had up to 1873. Then there
was the Bland law, which continued
in operation after a lapse of years,
until 1890 Then we had the Sherman
law, which existed from that time until
1893.
There is free silver coinage which
allows a man to take the metal to the
mint and receive his dollars therefor,
less the amount of the seigniorage. An
other silver law allowed a man to de-
posit gold or silver with the govern
ment and receive in return sort Of
warehouse receipt for it. Still third
law gave a man certificates for the
metal. So you see that free silver may
mean any one of several systems, none
Of which is specified by the resolution
of the Ohio democratic convention. The
resolution will in no way alter or effect
my attitude in the senate. / candidly
believe that II two-thirds of the house
and senate were elected on silver plat
forms, so called, it would not affect the
country at ALL save to create an appre-
hension on the part of the people as to
what would be the result of their legis-
lation. / am in favor of free silver
under certain conditions, but there is a
kind Of free silver which, if continued
in operation, will bankrupt nation in
