relate occurred prior 10 1887. Mrs.
Randolph did not think Principal Doyle
manifested as much interest In the
school as he should In fact, she
thought, he neglected his duties. With
rcfcrcucc to the charges OF immortality
Mrs. Randolph knew nothing of her per
sonal knowledge. except that once u
teacher placed his hand In an ungentlc-
manly manner upon her breast while
she was In the class. She suspected
that girls had been ruined there, but
the only reason she could give for
entertaining such Il belief was that
teachers would walk with them out
upon the dark portico at night She
had been told of ugly things. but
knew nothing of the truth of them.
There has been no startling develop
mcnts up TO this time. All the charges
are very old ana out of date. and none
or them have been proven.
MIR. and Mrs. r.. S. Chiles. of Norfolk.

the Randolph side of the investigation.

y large crowd of people went up to
the Capitol to-day expecting the Maui

were called, Mr.. Maupin rose and NOV
ed tina they be passed by until to-
morrow. This met with no opposition
The florsemen about the Capitol to-day
practically admitted the passage OF the
Maupin bin by the House. but predic-
ted that 1t would be defeated in The
Senate. They say the two houses will
not agree upon any bill ana will leave
the laws just us they now are.

they say the AllanLamb controversy
mas not stirred up mr. much bad feeling
