SHOULD CLOSE THANkSCIVINC.OAY.
Governor OFerrairs Reasons for Think
tnp the schools Should BE Closed.


Governor O'Ferrall has received n letter
from distant county inquIring why the
schools OF a certain district In that
county will not be closed on Thanks
giving Day" and asking what officer Is
vested with power to close the schools
on such an occasion.
The following IS the substance of the
Governors reply TO the inquiries:
Under the law, district school boards
regulate the opening and closing or
schools The law provides that in con-
nection with the annual meeting OF the
County School Board (held In August
district school boards shall declare what
days shall be holidays On school work.
for the school year ensuing, when days
shall be the same throughout the county.
The law also provides that teachers shall
suffer loss Of pay for every day they lose.
except such days as shall have been de-
clared holidays by the District Board.
Therefore II any public school Is not
closed on "Thanksgiving-Day" RESPONSE
billy for such failure rests with the
School Board Of the district concerned.
The Governor adds that the Superin
tendent Of Public instruction agrees
with him in expressing surprise that the
authorities OF any public school in Nir-
ginia should fail 10 give teachers and
pupils an opportunity to observe the day
set apart by the President Of the United
States and the Governor OF the Common
wealth for returning thanks to Him who
creates, preserves. and governs all things;
that, contemplating the public school as
the fruit OF four centuries OF American
lfe," he can hardly look upon this great
institution Of the people as fulfilling it's
mission unless it inspires patriotic senti-
ments and inculcates reverence for our
Maker in the minds and hearts Of the
young, and that he believes the proper
observance OF Thanksgiving Day" a
most appropriate method OF exempllfying
these principles.

FOUND BESIDE THE TRACK DEAD.
Thomas Cooney, n Plasterer, Meets Death
on the Rail.

Mr.. Thomas Fl. Cooney, of Pittston, Pa,
but for some time a resident of this city,
was found dead beside the track of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad by the company's track-walker
Sunday morning about s o'clock. The cir
cumstances attendant upon his death are
shrouded in mystery. although there Is
little doubt that he was killed by train.
The body was found just this side or
Camp Lee, and short distance west OF
the xpositon-Grounds. Superintendent T..
l.. Courtney was at once notified. and
he in turn notified the County Coroner.
who summoned a jury and held an in
quest. DR.. Wexford was called in to make
an examination of the body. and found
that the neck was broken, and, in addi-
ton thereto. the body was considerably
bruised. The verdict of the jury was that
the deceased came to his death by being
struck by n moving train, they being
under the impression that he was sitting
asleep on the track when struck.
The railroad officials, however, are Of
the belief that the man was on one of the
passenger trains, and. being in a state OF
intoxication, fell off without being noticed.
Several bottles Of whiskey were found in
his clothes. and broken bottle was found
near the body.
Cooney was employed in this city as a
plasterer by Mr.. c. X. Best, of No. 1900
west Main street, and was an excellent
workman, his only fault being that he
would occasionally get on a spree. He was
highly connected, being a brother of Mr.
James Cooney, a prominent railroad-man
Of Pittston Pa. who was at once notified
Of the accident. and the body Is being
held now subject to his orders.

the new State during the same period.
Mr.. Berry contended that the only
way TO reach a settlement was for the
certificate holders 10 say how much they
would take. and West Virginia TO shy
how much she would give. and then COM
promise the matter. An attempt TO make

commission adjourned.
The State OF Virginia recognizes no
obligation in this matter. except the
moral one OF trying to induce West Viz

holders.
