possibly have roughened his journy.
The day passed very pleasantly. WITH
calls from many OF Augustus repre-
sentative men. Hardly an hour passed
when several friends were not with
him. AT night, he was but little tired,
and took a hearty enjoyment in all
that was going around, for he is still
young in spirit.
Letters and kilograms in large mum

Flowers. too, were sent In by neigh

of pleasure. for of flowers he lis very
fond. Among the bouquets was one
of "a carnations. from his son, Mr..
Charles 0. Bradbury, who is living in
Boston. but who IA unable to be

Mr.. bradbury is the oldest living

Summary of the Annual Report of the
Investigating Committee.


The executive committee of the Fer
sris Industrial School in it's annual re-
port refers to the increase in the num-
ber of boys from 90 to 68, and the
consequent increased expense. Not
withstanding the most rigid economy
has been observed in the expenditure
of funds for running expenses, Gays
the report, sit has been found necessary
to encroach upon the endowment fund
to the amount of S5, 531. 10 since the
organization of the school" The ap-
preparation of $1,000 by the Levy
Court for the year 1895, will relieve
the necessities for a time SO far as
current expenses are concerned, but
there is an urgent need for greater ac
commodations in the way of buildings.
Continuing the report says 1.-The
school is gradually assuming more of
the character of public institution
and it is very important that we'll
matured rules and regulations shall be
adopted for the guidance of the officers
and teachers and especially that the
regulations for the commitment and
discharge of boys shall be 30 well de-
fined that all shall be treated fairly
and impartially.
During the last year one boy was
discharged from the school by the court
by reason OF improper commitment, his
parents having made an incorrect state
ment in regard to his age, and it is
very important that such mistakes
shall not occur as it materially impairs
the discipline and good order of the
school, for II one parent or guardian is
able to have his boy released, the
others are eager to have theirs released
also. -
The committee realize tho necessity
Of better method of lighting than by
coal oil, as at present, and say that the
cost of an electric light plant will be
about $500. They express their graft
tude at the continued good health of
the boys, the school having been almost
clear of sickness.
A remarkable fact mentioned in the
report Of Superintendent ii. f. Haines
is that in the 10 years of the school s
existence, but one death has occurred,
and that resulted from an accident
while the boy was at play.
The superintendent believes, how
ever, that it would be well TO have
better hospital facilities at the school,
and thus be prepared for sickness. He
suggests an addition TO the laundry
building, whereby hospital. sleeping
hall and dining room, could be secured
and the present dining room could be
used for library.
The school now has two bands, which
have made progress, and have played in
public. The manual training class has
made all repairs to the buildings, and
has made articles of furniture besides,
which have found sale In the city.
The boys who do not take manual
training receive small plots of land to
cultivate. This year they may be
allowed to cultivate larger plots, and
to sell portion of the produce.
Superintendent Haines recommends
the appointment of visiting agent.
1t is at present impossible to give the
boys who have left the school the at
tention they should have.

Mail Cnlnhers Tried.

Three new devices for catching mail
hags from express trains were success
fully tested AT Edge Moor Monday by
man in the railway mail service.
One of the devices was the invention
of Benjamin d. Ayars.. Jr., of Ches-
ter, who is a nephew of Peter B Ayars
of this city. This continuance will
both catch and deliver mail bags and
can be used on single as well as double
track. Beside the railroad small
house is built and by means of fork "a
mailbag can be put from car into the
window of the house, falling into a
locked box secure from thieves and
storms. One bag can be taken up
while another is being delivered. The
mechanism is so arranged that the rail
way mail clerk does not have to lean
out of the car.

MUNICIPAL COMMISSION.
Several Questions Considered at the Me
ing Monday Night.


ing Monday Night.
The municipal commission met Mon
daylight and after considering the ques-
tion Of city limits decided to recon-
mend that no extensions be made at
present and in the new charter the
boundaries will be described as they
now exist. City Engineer Wilson is pre-
pairing map Of the city for the com
mission.
Two propositions concerning City
Council were considered. One was
that the Council should consist of two
branches, but no conclusion was
reached as to what the numerical
strength of each branch should be.
The question of wards was also taken
up, some being Of the opinion that
there should be less number than at
present.
The proposition was also taken up to
allow the Council to extend the city
boundaries, but no action was taken.
If this authority is given to Council
that body can only act when ma
jority of the freehoders of an outlying
district desire admission TO the city.

Isxamiuiau the Citv Prison.

committee held joint meeting Monday
evening at the police station to con-
slider needed repairs to the cells 1t
was decided to repair at once the place
in the front corridor where the five
prisoners escaped on Sunday night and
also TO place a new floor of stout
boards, laid diagonally across the pres
ent floor, 1t was thought that this
will answer the purpose until new
city prison can be built. The rear
corridor and all the cells were also ex-
amined, and, while the whole place is
diapidated, it was the opinion of the
commissioners and Councimen that it
would not be wise to make any further
improvements at this time. ..
