TWO CHINAMEN QUARREL
ONE HAS HIS HEAD AND FACE
 BADLY CUT.

Both Are Arrested and Locked Up for
 Breach of the Peace-The Fight Was fin
 the "Josh'' on Fair Street Which Was
 Raided Some Time Ago.
 Lee Hing and Lee Joe, two Fair street Chinamen, were arrested yesterday af- ternoon for breach of the peace. Lee Joe, who is rather small specimen of the Orient with very mellow complex ion, was the aggressor, and he cut Lee Hings head in a number of places be- fore that yellow skinned individual could get away. The row occurred in the Josh" at 63 Fair street, which Is resort for local Chinamen. It was raided by the police some time ago, and several Orientals were arrested for gambling. They were playing a game called fingers" Bad blood has existed between Lee Hing and Lee Joe for a long time, and when the latter walked into the place yesterday afternoon he was insulted by the former. Joe could not stand this, so picking up chair he flew at Hing. Crash, crash, crash went the chair on top of Hing's head, and out spurted the blood Finally Hing got the chair away from Joe, and they went at it hand to hand They fought like tigers, and it became so serious in short time that an onlook- ing Chinaman rushed out into the street and found Officer Richard Moore. To- gether they went back to the Josh" and on arriving found the laundrymen that is their profession-rolling on the floor and using their hands as if they had a big washing under way. Officer Moore had to club them to get them apart. At police headquarters each Chinaman tried hard to blame the other for the affair, but they were both locked up. Later Lee Joe was released on bonds. Hing was badly cut, and pr. Gaynor was obliged to take several stitches in his scalp. He is bigger man than Lee Joe, but the latters able handling of the chair proved a great ad- vantage. Hing claimed at the station that he was cut with a knife, but the doctor thought the injuries were in- ficted with blunt instrument.

COVERED BY HIS ENGINE
AN OPEN SWITCH THE CAUSE OF 4
 FRIGHTFUL WRECK.

Cars Were Telescoped-Engipe and Fire
 man of One Train Killed-At Least n
 Dozen Passengers Ipjured-The Panic
 Stricken Passengers Had Hardly Time
 to Get Out of the Cars When They Caught
 Fire and Are Still Burning.
 Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 2.--The New York and Philadelphia express, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road, was wrecked one-half mile north of Preble Station, twenty-six miles south of this city, at 12:S0 a. m. The train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The siding at Preble had been, opened to allow a freight train to get out of the way of the ex- press and the switch was left open. The train crashed into the freight cars on the siding, telescoping three of them. The engine and tender of the express were demolished and the engineer, George Young, was killed. Fireman Webster Roof was taken from beneath the wreck and died soon afterward.
 At least dozen passengers were bad ly injured.
 The baggage car, which was reduced to kindling wood, caught fire from the engine. The panic-stricken passengers had hardly time to get out of the cars before the train was in blaze. The scene of the wreck is half mile from any house and the passengers had to as- sist themselves. There were fifty per sons on the train, including the mem- bers of the ""Bowery Girl' company
 At 1:3o the whole train was still in flames A wrecking train with physi- clans has been sent out. It Is not cer- tain that the engineer and fireman are the only ones killed.
 The body of Engineer Young has not been found, as it Is covered by the wreck of the engine.
 It develops that the wrecking of the train was undoubtedly premeditated. The switch was found locked open after the wreck occurred.
 It is impossible to get fuller partic- ulars this morning, as the scene of the wreck is half mile from any telephone or telegraph office.

GIVEN 4 SMART RAP.
Meriden Minister Says That it Is a Step
 Toward Mob Law.

Meriden, Dec. 1.-Rev. Dr. Warren s. Perkins, pastor of St. Paul's Universal ist church, gave the Law and Orden league smart wrap in his sermon to- night. He said among other thingss Tn speaking of the enforcement of law the question of the enforcement of law must be considered. I do not know enough of the methods of the Law and Order league to pass an opinion. l do know, however, that in every town and city there is a division of opinion on this point.
 'erhe Law and Order league is a step toward mob law. Mob law becomes rampant when the people lack confi- dence in the proper officers. The neces- sity of Law and Order league would indicate such lack of confidence, so [ say that the league is a step toward mob law It is not mob law, but it s first cousin to mob law. It usurps the prerogatives of the prosecuting attor- ney."

The above tables showing the money
spent in each county for teachers
salaries and the amount per pupil in
cludcs all schools, the ungradcd and
the graded. The length of tho sos
sions DO not depend entirely on the
amount of money spent. There are
many reasons why this is true. The
number of pupils in Il county has much
to do with it, but even that does not
wholly regulate tho lcngth Of the scs-
sions. The fact is it is very much
more expensive to run the schools in
some counties than it is in other coun-
ties. 1t is more expensive to run the
schools Of some districts in Il county
than it is to run the schools OF other
districts in the Same county. Those
things arc governed and regulated by
local existing necessities and circum.
stances, and aflcct the length Of the
sessions.
The law has been strictly followed in
eXpcnding the public funds and the
expenditures have been economically
made. Notwithstanding tncso facts
the school sessions are entirely too
short, aud tho people can never become
educated unless longer sessions are
provided. Tho sessions in the cities,
towns and special districts Icvying IL
special tax are as u rule long enough,
and these schools are sufficient for the
needs Of tho people. These schools
arc secured by supplcmcnting tho gen
eral school fund by an extra tax OF
from two 10 five mills levied by the
citizens Of these, cities, towns and dis.
tricts. Fortunately for all such they
are able to bear these heavy ta&cs
But the great majority Of the school
districts Of most Of the counties car
not afford to pay an extra tax large
enough to properly support sucl
schools. In many Of the poorer dis
trlcts 1T would require an extra tax o
! from seven to ten mills to raise u funt
sufficient to properly sustain suci
schools. This the people Of these dis
tricts could not stand.
The remedy, then, is for your body
to exercise your right under the pres
cnt constitution and increase the lcvy
for school purposes on the property o
the counties. BY no other means under
the present law can the poorer schools
of til OSC poorer districts be substantial
ly improved.
We're it within my pr ovincc to ad
wise the constitutional convention no"
In session would recommend that the
county levy for school pun poses bt
raised from 2 mills as Il minimum tt
3 mills as IL maximum, and declare
all male persons between II and III
years of ago who arc unable TO per

were a lot OF pension grabbers or short term
men who had seen little or no service, but
that now they knew what 1t really was they

HHE tendency in the milliner's
efforts this season is all toward
broad effects and the trim
ming of nearly every style of
hat or bonnet leans that way. The
tiny Dutch bonnets set so far back on
the head that they seem lost in front
are worn at teas and receptions and in
the evening for young maids and ma
irons, too, the natty Napoleon,
trimmed toward the back or front, as
fancy dictates, is q favorite. The
large hats are stylish to degree and
n model in black satin braid, had
short thick plumes falling on either
side, one resting on the edge OF the
brim toward the front. A band of
velvet with rhinestone buckle and
bunch of violets at the back and un-
derneath the brim cluster of roses
completed the trimming. The demand
for made hats admits of considerable
originality in the manipulation of the
straw braid and with the kind known
MS patent leather exquisite jet effects
may be obtained without the weight
of the real article. Black and white
and black and brown are frequently
found combined, the tint of the latter
used being Havana. Butter color
fancy straw is also fashionable, espe-
cially for young girls hats. Ribbons
and flowers for the most part form the
adornment of the spring hat, the
Dresden and striped effects in the
latter being especially handsome,
while the flowers are the most perfect
limitations of natures productions,
some of the makers going SO far as to
initiate dying nature, and withered
leaves, and dying roses are among the
seasons novelties. A beautiful model
for a hat is of white lace and net, the
brim slightly projecting a,d trimmed
with soft net and sprays of orchids,
and another is quite flower toque,
velvet pansies being combined with
the lace. The bonnet pictured here
with is in marron fancy straw. trimmed
with roses, shaded from pink to green
