DAVIS Ferris and Jonathan Rhoads were
given an audisnce before the Board Of
Education last evening to express their
opposition to the Introduction Of the mil.
itary drill Into the public schools. Mr.
Rhoads said he siways regarded soldiers
az butchers and still he respected butchers
because they supplied the people with
wholesome food, but soldiers had for their
business the killing OF their fellow men.
He was opposed to tho drill because it
was not SO effective In developing the
physlcal powers as gvmnasts are.

SUNDAY SALOON FIGHT.
Shot Fired at Amos Montgomery
While at a bar.

Henry McManamon, living at 28 South
West street, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Sergeant Schwab and officers
Raftery and Bolen, on a charge of shoot
ing with intent to kill. The charge was
made by Amos Montgomery. McManamon
owns a saloon at No. $50 South West street,
and yesterday, at such times as the police
officers were not watching every door, he
is said to have been literally passing out
beer to a few customers. Montgomery was
standing at the bar. he says, and had been
served with a glass of beer, which was
standing untouched before him., when he
and McManamon, who is alleged to have
been intoxicated, became involved in a dis
pute. After some hot words had passed
Montgomery decided to drink his beer, but
as he started to do so, he says, Nc
Manamon called out. IF you drink that
beer. / will shoot you" at the same time
drawing a revolver from the cash drawer.
Montgomery paid no attention 90 the warn
ing, but raised his glass to his lips, when
a bullet whizzed by in close proximity to
his head. Montgomery dropped his glass
and started for the door, when McManamon
fired a second shot. but fortunately his
aim was no better than before.
Montgomery immediat ely telephoned to
the police station, but, being so excited,
he could not be understood over the wire
and went TO the station, where he told his
story to Captain Campbell. There were
several witnesses to the affair.

GRAND ARMY DOESN'T LIKE 1T.
objects to Abolition OF the Present
Monument Commission.

The Grand Army men in this and other
cities were quick to take notice of the ac-
ton in the Republican legislative caucus
looking to the abolition Of the monument
commission and the selection Of one man
to attend to it's completion, and since that
time there has been a pretty general ex-
change OF opinions. The first or
ganixation to express fits views was
George H. Thomas Post, one of the
largest In the city, which it did at a fully
attended meeting Saturday night. in the
unanimous adoption Of the following reso-
lutions:
lie prints that the present Legislature has in
view a change in the management of the
State soldiers and sailors monument,
with the object OF providing a place and
power for one man at a large salary, for
many years; therefore,
Resolved, George H. Chapman Post,
No. 2oe, Department Of Indiana, Grand
Army of the Republic, is unalterably OPP
posed to any proposition designed to throw
control of those who are scheming to pro-
long its completion and increase the cost,
and,
change shall be made in the monument
commission except to fill vacancies by the
appointment OF old soldiers in good standing
Resolved, That this Legislature should
provide that no change be made in the in

Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
resolution recently adopted by tile commits
sicners, TO reduce their compensation to
three days each month"
Those who have heard recent expressions
OF opinion on the part of Grand Army
men will agree that the resolutions above
published express them. The name of
Daniel VI. Ransdell has been mentioned with
approval by n number of veterans for the
vacancy occasioned by the death of General
Manson. 1t is said that General Manson
would have resigned at the last meeting,
&c the end that a successor might be Sc
lected who could better attend to the bust
ness than his bodily infirmities permitted
him to do.

BROUGH'S NARROW ESCAPE.
John w. BrOu2h Asleep in a Room
Filled with Natural Gas.

John w. Brough, a well-known character
about town, who lives by himself in Room
q of the Brandon Block. corner of Della
ware and Washington streets, came near
meeting with an unnatural death yesterday
afternoon. He was thought to be dying
when found at noon, and not until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon did he show signs of recov-
cry. Brough is a paralytic, past fifty years
OF age, and a son of Governor Brough. the
war Governor of Ohio. He has lived in this
city for years, and at one time was con-
nected with the SentineV Years ago he
was regarded as one of the most promising
young men in the city. but he took to
drink, and the past few years he has been
fitted up in the Brandon Block, where he
had his meals served to him: Yesterday
at noon a colored waiter called with his
dinner. The man found Brough'S door
locked, a thing unusual. He knocked, but
received no reply. He then went down and
asked Martin Hugg, whose office is on the
floor below, if he had seen anything OF
Brough, who occasionally walked out into
the building. Mr.. Hugg replied that he had
not seen Brough, and he went and knocked
at the door, without receiving an answer.
Mr.. Hugo then called up police headquar-
terS.
officer Thomas went to the room and
forced the door open. He was met with
strong fumes of natural gas, and discovered
Brough on the bed gasping for breath.
Thomas opened the windows and turned off
the gas in the base burner, which was go
ing full blast. The top of the burner was
open and the damper turned, so that all
the gas came into the room. How such a
condition of affairs came about no one
knows DIR. Terrell, Of the ~dispensary, was
called. and he at first pronounced the case
hopeless. There We're symptoms of NOR
phine poisoning and the Doctor administered
the proper antidotes. Under this treatment
Brough improved. not sufficiently, however,
to account for his condition. There were
no further evidences about the room of
suicide. and those who know Brough do not
think that he attempted to take his own
life. They account for his narrow escape
by the explanation that the gas fire went
out and the gas, coming up, filled the room
while he was asleep.

is generally coined at that rate.
But mOnOmetallists have pro.
fessed to fear that if our mint
were opened, European countries
would at once seize the opportu-
nifty and get rid of their coin by
exchanging it for American
gold.
The fear rests upon no sub
stantial basis, because European
governments are not anxious to
get rid of their silver. Even
Germany, who took the lead in
demonetizing it, now perceives
the folly of the act. She has sold
no silver for about Is years, and
in fact has no more than she
needs for the smaller transactions
Of her people. The other coun
tries of Europe which hold the
principal. stocks of silver have
shown no desire to part with it
and could gain nothing by doing
so. On the contrary, they woulc
lose. because of the expense
which such a change would in
volve. T..

fear, however i'll. founded, bi-me
