Celebration at the Free Kindergarten.

Celebration at the Free Kindergarten.
 A gentleman present at this ceIebra- tion writes as follows:
 What can be more appropriate to the day and times than the training of the children of our foreign population in the principles of true patriotism?
 This at least is the feeling of those who have in hand the care of the Elm City Kindergarten on Oak street.
 This institution was founded a year and a half ago to reach and care for the multitude of little children between the ages of two and half and four years of age who were found on our streets too young to be admitted to the public schools and neglected by their parents, who were obliged to struggle for liv- ing.

The Arbitration Bill Passes The
House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. &c Labor had
it's innings in the House to-day, with
the result that an arbitration bill, re-
commended by the leaders of all of
the railway labor organizations in the
country, by. Carroll D. Wright, the
Commissioner of Labor, and drawn in
par, by Attorney General Olney, was
sen to the Senate for its action. The
bill was reported from the committee
on labor by Mr.. Erdman Dem of
Pennsylvania, who explained It's pro-
visions III "a brief statement to the
House aud answered questions that
were put to him by various members
with regard to its practical operation
The bill provides for the appointment
Of a board Of arbitration OF three per-
sous to decide all controversies be-
tween the common carriers engaged
in Interstate commerce and their en-
ployees, which cannot be adjusted by
mutual agreement, and makes the
award Of the board enforceable III the
United States courts, acting as courts

1t was stated by Mr.. Erdman that
in order to make the award effective,
the various labor organizations
interested had agreed to become in
co:porated concerns, and, as such,
subject to liability for damages for

Robber Convicted.
Morganfeld Gets Eighteen
Y~ears-Virginia Makes the
Record.

STAFFORD G. H.. Feb. 20 1t was
4 o'clock when the prosecuting attor-
new closed his two hours argument
in winding up the Acquia Greek
train robbery case and ten minutes
later, the jury returned with the YER
dict
"Gentlemen of the jury look upon
the prisoner said Clerk Bryan.
"Have you agreed upon your YER
dict p
1--WE have" replied Foreman Jones
in a firm voice.
esIs he guilty or not guilty
Guilty" said the foreman, and
the verdict was handed up. It is as
follows:
eve, the jury, find the prisoner,
Charles Morgan alias Charles Angus
tus M%organfeld, guilty as charged in
the indictment and fix his term Of
confinement in the penitentiary at
eighteen years. The Judge then
asked Morganfeld if he had anything
tosay why sentence should not be pro-
nounced. Half raising himself, Nor
gan said: 81 was not ready for trial
and had no idea | would be tried at
this term of court. | was not physi.
calIv or mentally il condition to be
tried and did not want to be tried IN
this condition
The court sees 10 reason in that
for not passing sentence said Judge
Ashton. you have had a fair trial.
The jury is n of the best. You
have had able counsel. In view of
the very strong evidence in the case
you are very fortunate in not suffer
ing the extreme penalty of the law.
The Judgment of the court is that you
be taken to the pe%nitentiary of this
State and there confined for "a period
of eighteen years, but the execution
of the sentence will be suspended
until tue fifth day Of April next to
enable your counsel to apply for All
appeal"
The prisoners counsel at once
moved for q new trial on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
law and the evidence, and that they
did not understand the evidence.
This motion was over-ruled and coun-
sci excepted A motion for arrest of
judgment was then made and this
was also over ruled and excepted to-.
The prosecution then moved for a
continuance Of the other four cases
against Morgan This motion was
opposed by Morgan's counsel, who
insisted that he was ready for trial.
The court, however, continued the
cases.
The commonwealth then announced
that It was ready to try Charles J..
Searcy, Morgan's accomplish ia the
robbery Searcv was brought into
court aud through his counsel asked
for continuance. No objection being
raised, it was so ordered. There are
four other indictments pending
against Morgan. The verdict meets
with general approval.
Upon being advised of the verdict,
Governor O'Ferrall telegraphed his
congratulations TO Prosecuting Attor-
ney White. The Governor telegraph
ed Train robbers will seek some
other State for their nefarious work
Virginia j%uries will uphold the law
