BOUNCED mr.. EVANS
The Board of Education
Dismisses the Principal
of No. 81 School.
DIDN'T PAY HIS GAMING DEBTS.
Director Cowles Unfolds a Nice
Story Of a Schoolmaster's
Difficulties.

The first official act of the new Board
Education last night was to remove Princf-
pal Joseph Evans of No. p School The
resolution removing Mr.. Evans was passed
by the unanimous vote Of the board.
The members of the board were very
reticent about the reasons for Mr. Evans
dismissal but this morning a NEWS re-
porter interviewed Director E. S. Cowles,
who was asked:
"Why was Mr.. Evans removedg'
''The subject is one do not care to dis
cuss," said Mr. Cowle's, ''but presume some
explanation of our action must be made.
From what Ihave learned 2 he continued,
complaints have been made against Mr..
Evans to the Board of Education for tbs
past two years. Since l have been in the
board numerous complaints have came to us.
We Investigated them and found them to be
true.
"We did not wish in any way to injure
Mr.. Evans reputation, and we accordingly
requested him by letter to resign his position
as principal. More than one letter has been
sert to Mr.. Evans, but up to last night had
on each occasion been ignored.
.'Such a man we did not consider should
have the management of school His ex-
ample was not one which school boys should
emulate. Accordingly we dismissed him.
''How did you find out that he did not pay
his debts asked THE NEWS reporter
OWES MONEY ALL ROUND
"We were continually receiving letters
from people to whom he owed money.
Others came to US in person and
requested US to compel him to settle his bills.
One case brought to our attention that the
woman of whom he hired his room From
what we learned he owes her about S100
He did everything in our power to save the
man, but he ignored US in everything we
did,
EVANS HAD GAMBLING DEBTS.
"Why have learned that he did not even
pay his gambling debts. For two years he
has not drawn his own salary warrant which
is undeniable evidence that he sold it before
hand Complaint was even made to US that
he had not paid the undertaken the bill con-
tracted at the time of his wife's debt"
Such man we could not conscientiously
keep in our employ. We considered it
to the best interests of our department to re-
move him.
Mr. Evans could not be found this morn
ing.

RosEBERY CABINET CONFERENCE.
Situation in Regard to the budget
II. r. O,Connor's opinion.
CHI


LONDON, May s, 1894-A Cabinet confer
ence was summoned at noon today to con-
sider the situation in regard to the budget.
The Sien. in an article under the caption
us the Crash Comingw expresses the opin-
ion of the writer [Mr T. P. OConnor, M. p. J
that the vote in the House Of Commons last
Friday on Sir Edward Clarke's amendment
to the Registration bill-292 10 t278-a Gov
ernment majority of fourteen, was prelude
to still narrower majority, possibly ten, in
the vote on the second reading of the budget
next Thursday. Such majority, the Sun
asserts, would make it impossible for the
Government to carry out the rest of its pro-
gramme
The Sun also says the narrowness of the
Liberal majority in the Hackney division
yesterday, as compared with the majority
received by Sir Charles Russell in the last
election in that division may be regarded as
an additional indication Of the governments
precarious position
The Chronicle expresses fear that the Gov
ernment is approaching the stage beyond
which it will be impossible to go and advises
the immediate calling of meeting of its
supporters to decide which of its measures
shall be thrown overheard in order that the
others may be proceeoed with.
The other afternoon papers comment on
the situation in similar strain, though in
somewhat mllder language.

person, let him send in his stead pair of his
old Shoes as they would be sufficient to beat
any opponent that could be induced to run
against him.
A number of Populist members called at
the Simpson residence this forenoon to IN
guire as TO the invalid's health, and while
none were permitted to see him, all ex
pressed sympathy with him. and hoped that
he would soon be able to resume his public
duties

of handling such big vessels i'll the short
turns and narrow channel in the river.
Those who are on the inside here say they
know nothing about any contemplated
change, but refuse to discuss responsibilities.

Court For the Jury to Examine.
NEW YORK, May 5, 1S9f.-The trial of DR..
Henry Meyer was resumed this morning. 1t

Intyre has an idea of asking the jurors to
look upon the remains Of Ludwig Brandt.
The body was embalmed after it was ex-
humed, and is in perfect state of preserya-
ton.
Counsel for the defence endeavored yes
terday to prove that the body exhumed was
not that of Ludwig Brandt at all, and Law
yers Brooke and O'Sullivan severely cross
examined Undertakers Kipp and his as
sistant, Snyder, who drove the hearse and
laid the body in Evergreen Cemetery, as to
the position of the grave and other matters.
Mr. Mcintyre is determined that there
shall be no doubt in the minds of the jury as
to the identity of the body, and has resolved,
if necessary, to bring the body into court.
If this is not possible, the jury will be taken
to where the remains are kept, and will be
asked to look at them SO that they can sat
isfy themselves that they are identical with
the photograph of Ludwig Brandt, which
was shown in court.
