A Solemn Meeting of the School

The School Board held very solemn
meeting last night The members lacked the
old-time fire, and for some time they sat and
talked business in mechanical manner.

the Ricketts, property came from this fund
during January. In the tuition fund there is
a balance Of $50, s36.5s and in the manual

was no fire escape, filed a statement with
the board, which was referred to the finance

and the payment of the water tax. as the
lease provides. Nothing was. said in the
lease about fire escape, and the absence
of one was not discovered until the building

the matter, but some seem to think that

soMERBY INDICTMENT STILL HOLDS.
Judge McCray Refuses to Dismiss IT.
His ReasOns


His Reasons.
Judge McCray. of the Criminal Court
yesterday gave his decision in the motion
of attorney Brush to dismiss the indictment
against Freeman ID. Somerby. of the Iron
Hall. The court overruled the motion. In
his comments upon the case he said:
1.-THE civil court makes provision where
by causes may be dismissed upon the appli-
cation of one of the defendants, when there
are other defendants whom the plaintiff in
such cases failed to prosecute with dill
Gence. The law makes the further provi-
sion for applying the civil statutes in SO far
as they may be applicable when there is
no provision in the criminal law applicable
to the case, but fnaSmuch as the Legislature
has in it's wisdom provided the manner in
which cases may be tried, and there being
no law in the criminal code governing dis
Before a defendant can avail himself Of it's
benefits he must bring himself within its
pale by complying with its provisions as
condition precedent to it's benefits. One of
these provisions is that he must have en-
tered into a recognizance. and the court
must be clothed with jurisdiction over him:
he must have been held by recognizance to
answer to an indictment before he can de-
mand dismissal for want of prosecution
against his codefendants He cannot
lombard the court at long range. The de-
PENDANT, having not entered into a recog-
nizance and not having been within or
having been in q foreign State since the
return of each Indictment, cannot avail
himself of the remedy he seeks. The motion
is overruled"

TOOK THE WITNESS TO TASK.

z. +. Admire and A. A. BOwser Fight
i'm the Courthouse.
Ephraim E. Admire, proprietor of a bust
ness college on East Washington street, and
A. A. Bowser, formerly a teacher in the
same institution, INDUCED in a disgraceful
brawl in the corridors of the county court
house at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two
blows We're struck and Bowser went down
as result Of the first. A lawsuit In which
Admire was the plaintiff and Bowser a wit
ness precipitated the row. The latter
severed his connection with the business
college some months ago. Recently Admire
brought suit on a note before a justice of
the peace and afterward appealed to the
Circuit Court. The case came UP yester-
day afternoon before Judge Brown in cham
bers. Bowser appeared witness against
Admire. Attorney Harlan represented Adj
mire and attorney Groninger was for the
defendant. From the statement of the at
torneys it seems that smart tilt occurred
between the plaintiff and attorney Groninger
during the course OF the trial. the latter in
his argument addressing Admire in a man.
ner that he did not relish. At the con-
clusion of the trial Judge Brown found
against the business college proprietor.
In company with his attorney Admire
left the court room and descended the stairs
to the lower corridor. There he met lawyer
droninger ana BowSer. A few words passed
between the attorney and Admire concern
ing the language used by the former during
the trial. Suddenly the employees on the
lower floor of the courthouse We're startled
by sharp crack that sounded like pistol
shot. AS q dozen men rushed from their
offices Bowser was attempting to arise from
most undignified position upon the tile
floor. Admire was being held by three or
four men. but he was far from tractabe,
and as the teacher gained his feet Admire
administered a left-hard blow the lat
ter's right cheek. At that moment attorney
Harlan interfered and bore his irate client
away. Admire says that Bowser provoked
the trouble; that he interrered while he
was conversing with attorney Groninger
and attempted to take part in a matter in
which he had no concern. Neither of the
men were arrested.

strated the value OF the fre-proof construc-

this fire burned over three hours without

originated.

CHANGE IN OFFICERS
ID. p. ERWIN BECOMES PRESIDENT
OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Evans Wooden Succeeds Secretary
VIM. Forfune-AnnunI Meeting of
the Directors Yesterday.

d. P. Erwin was elected president of the
Commercial Club yesterday afternoon and
Evans Wooden secretary. The directors
held their annual meeting in the reception
room with nearly all present, and were
surprised when, under the head of election
of officers Colonel Lilly announced that he
would not permit his name to be considered
for reelection. He said he understood that
Mr. Fortune, the secretary, had reached
the same conclusion, and he thought it was
all right enough that the club should oc-
casionally have change of officers. He
further stated that for five years he had
given the club more attention than he had
given his own interests. He had continued
through two terms because the club re-
quired strengthening finacially, and he had
accepted reelection year ago against his
inclination, but now there could be no
further reason for continuing in the posi-
ton. as the club was in good condition, and
change could be made now as we'll as at
any time. He desired to feel free from re-
sponsibility and from any obligation as to
his time and attention He would continue
to serve as director Of the club, If de-
sired, he said, and to perform whatever
duty was assigned to him as a member and
a citizen, but he felt that he was entitled
to relief from official duties, and therefore
insisted upon his declination. He ex-
planned that nothing had been said as to the
intentions of himself and the secretary for
the reason that he believed it to be best to
announce it first to the board only at the
time when they met to take action in order
that they would be free from solicitation
He believed the future success of the club
would depend upon it's doing what was be-
heved to be right, without fear of malicious
attacks and without regard to outside in
fiuences.
Mr. Fortune made q statement of the
financial condition OF the club, showing that
ITS assets and liabilities were as follows:
