ton Of the Common Council concerning

perlntendent of Education Baxter and
Attorney-General Stockton, He Will ex-
pam that the school trustees have done
all in their power to comply with tha
law and provide school accommodations
Tn city Is in great danger of los ne its
share of the appropriations for school
purposes through the negligence Of the
Council, says the President. In order TO
receive its share of the money the city
must provide suitable Accommodations
for the school children. Just at present
Hoboken may be said TO be in a pitiable
state as far as taking care of the school
children is concerned, as hundreds in
nearly every ward are running the streets
instead of being in school. Temporary
places such as the City Hall and Second
Precinct police station, harbor but a few
hundred.

LONDON DoGBGRRY,s WAY.
The Castles Held for TrIai-Efort TO
ripple Defence.

LIZ tbt " Ne ~ 4 to
LONDON. Oct. 20, 1Ss6.-Mr. and Mrs.
Walter M. Castle, of San Francisco, Who
were remanded last Tuesday under a
charge of stealing a number of valuable
furs. and various other articles and re-
leased upon furnishing bail in the sum
of 5000 for their appearance in court
today, were again arraigned in the Great
Marlborough Street Police Court this
morning and fully committed for trial at
the Clerkenwell Sessions, their case COM
ing up on November 2. The bail that
was furnished at the last hearing was
renewed and the prisoners were set at
liberty pending their trial.
AS was the case upon the occasion of
last Tuesdays hearing, the court room
was crowded with friends of the defend
ants, curiosity seekers, etc. First Secre-
tary of the United States Embassy had
an interview with Mr.. Castle in an ante
room. Mrs. Castle wore a light colored
dress. She looked somewhat pale when
she entered the court room, but did not
display anything like the nervous agita-
ton which she so plainly showed at her
last appearance in court.
An assistant employed in the fur deal
ing establishment of Gustav Ellis. in
Regent street, was called to the witness
stand and testified to the loss of a sable
muff, and other ~furriers identified prop
erty in the possession of the Castles as
belonging to them.
Magistrate Newton committed the prs
oners for trial at the Clerkenwell SEES
sions.
Mr.. Charles Matthews, counsel for the
defence, asked that the defendants be
committed for trial in the Central Grim
inal Court, Old Bailey, instead Of the
ordinary sessions. His grounds for max
ing this request, he said, were thai the
anxiety of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle in SanrFrancisco that they should
receive the benefit of all available test;-
mony in their favor was very great and
the committal of the prisoners for trial
N the Old Bailey Court would allow them
time to come to England, bringing with
them medical evidence OF the mental IL
responsibility of Mrs. Castle. :.
Magistrate Newton said that he was
unable to comply with the request. as he
was acting under directions to send ali
cases OF shopl.fting to the sessions.
Mr. Matthews then said he had No
doubt that he would be able to obtain an
adjournment of the case from the Clerk
enWell Sessions Court in order to enabis
witnesses from America to. be present at
the trial.
The prisoners pleaded not guilty and
reserved their line of defence
