John Gibbons thought that the board
ought to know something about new
appointments. He had nothing to say
against the two teachers appointed, but
it was the principle of permitting the
committee to have all the say in the
matter that he was opposed to. Mr..
Wormser said for the benefit of Mr..
Gibbons that the appointment of two
more teachers in the High school was
brought up at a meeting of the board
six weeks ago.

next to the Minneapolis, her sister
ship, the tieetest cruiser i'm the United
States navy or indeed in the world, and
as lt was necessary to construct her
hull very lightly i'm order to accom-
modate the weight of the tremendous
machinery of $4,000 horse power, her
frames and skin are not as heavy as
is usual in all vessels of her tonnage.
Fortunately for her, the Columbia is
fitted with a big steel ram, and the
additional strength given to her bow
by this, it is thought, undoubtedly
saved the vessel from more serious
and perhaps vital injury.
This accident, coming so soon after
the serious injury Of a merchant

Partially Destroyed by an Explosion of
Dynamite.

Havana, April 23.--An explosion, be-
lieyed to be due to dynamite or some
other high explosive, occurred in the
palace Of the Governor General 1880
this morning while the correspondent
of the Associated Press and other re-
porters of newspapers were waiting
in the ante-room for the first batch of
news of the day.
The building was soon partly filled
with dust while the noise of breaking
glass and falling plaster could be
heard on all sides. Part of the roof of
the palace fell in.
The explosion occurred in a closet
situated in a low story or basement
under the City Hall, which part of the
building it converted into heap Of
rubbish. The walls were tron, great
stones fell, and printer belonging to
the Captain Generals Office was
wounded.
III was at first believed that the
steam boiler had exploded but when
it was found to be intact it was sus-
pected that the destruction was eaus-
ed bv dynamite. The real cause of the
disaster, however, is not known.

Portage Lake News
The Slayer of George
Sheldon Found
Yesterday.
n bullet Wound In His Arm
"esoiVer with Five Exploded
Cartridges Found in His Pocket
Other News.

The remains ol Felix Demonthier, the
slayer oil George Sheldon, were recovered
from Portage Lake yesterday afternoon
shortly alter o'clock. The BODY was
caught by the graphing hooks OF one OF
the searching party that has been at
work since Monday morning, when the
finding OF the hat convinced those inter
ested that the lake had claimed the
Frenchman.
The body was found within thirty feet
oil the first crib out from the Houghton
shore, exactly where the teltale blood
marks had indicated he had jumped.
All the dragging OF the two days after
the murder and the dynamite had appar-
emily not touched the remains, which
were IN a good state of preservation.
The dynamite too had been fired very
close TO the spot.
AS the searchers were towing the body
to shore the coat was pulled I'D over the
head and from the hip pocket was imme-
diately seen the fatal revolver. After
being viewed by the coroner's Jury the
body was taken to Krellwitz's undertake
ing rooms and a careiulexamination was
made.
A bullet wound was found in the left
arm. The shot had gone through in a
direction from the inside of the arm out,
about two inches below the elbow.
The revolver found in Demonthier's
pocket was OF 3S calibre. 1t is a five.
shooter and the chamber contained five
exploded cartridges.
The finding OF the body relieves the
awful uncertainty OF the poor wife and
also assures her OF the $4,000 life insur-
ance which her husband carried in the
Maccabee society. Mr.. Demonthier's
funeral will take place tomorrow.
The finding of the pistol on Demon
chier'- body would almost look H. !

day afternoon and before Demonthier's
body was found, swore that he was the
first to see Mr., Sheldon after the shooting
and at that time pistol was lying by
Mr.. Shelden's shoulder. He stated that
when Miss Morgan came over to see the
body he told her to be careful az there
was pistol laying there. Miss Morgan,
in her evidence said that when she ap-
preached Mr.. Sheldon who was lying on
the ground, she remembers that Hosking
told her to be careful of something, but
she could not remember what 1t was he
referred to. Young Hosking, how ever,
appeared positive it was a pistol he
warned her against and explained min
