Summer School Hard at Work
Yesterday.
ASSIGNMENT OF THE CLASSES.

The summer school is at work in
study are observing their peas, corns
and pumpkin seeds, preparatory to
planting them and watching their
growth. The aIgebrians are quarreling
over the definition of an equation, the
followers of Euclid are making little
three cornered pictures and naming
them triangles. The English language
is in danger of utter anihilation at the
place of the earth in the solar system
and her poverty in moons is the prime
consideration of the first class in geog-
raphy. The embryo artists in the draw
ing class are gleefully covering their
books (but not, it is hoped, borrowed
ones) with representations of cubes.
In short, steam is up and the S. S. has
started.
The first step Thursday was the
assignment Of rooms to various classes.
AS the largest class numbered about
125 and the seating capacity of the
largest room is perhaps 60, the difficulty
will appear at once. However, classes
were divided, new teachers found,
chairs brought in and business moved
rapidly on.
Numbers have not yet been assigned
to the rooms in the High School build
ing, so that they have to be designated
as this" and that" or by their former
uses, as the North Bedroom the

Row in the Drill Shed Almost
Ends in Murder.
BAD MARKSMANSHIP SAVES HIM.
Jack Frye shot in the Chest by
Private Niemann-An Inch Deep
er and the Ball Would Have
Pierced His Heart Arrests.

What might have been case of MUIR
der occurred on Richards street near
Queen at 1925 this morning, when
Fritz Niemann fired a shot from a
rifle at Jack Fry as the latter was
standing in front of his home in the To-
cality mentioned. The wound how
ever, was merely superficial, entering
the flesh on the left side on a direct
line with his heart and ploughing a
furrow about eight inches long across
his breast.
DR.. Wayson was called to attend the
wounded man and afterwards accom-
panied him to Queens Hospital with
Captain Hookano on the police wagon.
On arrival at the hospital thorough
examination was made and the wound
was found as stated Two inches deep
er and the bullet would have gone
through the mans heart.
Fry's statement at the hospital was
to the effect that he and Niemann, who
are both members of Company A, had
some difficulty before the drill last
night. Frye told Niemann he would
see him later. During the drill more
trouble occurred, and after the close
Frye handed his gun and belt to a COM
panion, and walking up to Niemann,

and a few minutes before II started for
home, passing by the police station and
out Merchant street to Fort and down
that street to Queen, then to Richards.
When they reached the latter street
the quarrel was renewed and the men
used the butts of their muskets as weap-
ons. In some way Frye got hold of
Niemann's belt and refused to give it
up. Niemann then fired the shot that
might have ended Frye's life.
Frye ran into the house and was

Review OF Trade.

"N'"" VI = iauNs
II. G. Dun 4 Co.'S. weekly review
of trade, for the week ending on the
oath, does not indicate, so far as we
can see, any Improvement in the
general business of the country, and
we now hear less talk Of the great
business boom that was to set in with
the triumph of the gold Standard
We take the following from Dun's
report:
"The failure Of two important
banks, the second in size of business
at Chicago and the oldest at St. Paul,
with some others dependent on them,
closes not favorably a month which
promised to end with only moderate
commercial disasters. II does not
lessen the effect of these failures that
one was caused by enormous loans
in aid of an electric railway and
other concerns, and that the other APP
pears t0 have resulted from heavy
ventures in unsuitable real estate
Since several thousand business men
and depositors are for the time en-
harrassed as much as the spectators
that caused the trouble, the break
down is the reverse of hopeful at
present, and though it comes when
money markets are we'll supplied
and when 10 serious effect in bust
ness is to be apprehended. Other
important events Of the week are
the failure Of the billet aud rail pools
to find basis for agreement and the
somewhat large discharges of hands
or reduction in the shoe manufacture.
The holiday trade has been fair, but
generally in articles of medium
grade.
The fall in steel billets from over
$50 to about SIG at Pittsburg and in
steel rails from S2S net for mills to
SD, less brokers' commission, pro-
duces so great a change in other
prices and conditions of business that
the meeting held here this week for
the purpose of reviving pools and
fixing prices influenced quotations
throughout the country.
Bessemer pig has declined to Sl1 .15
and gray forge to S9.65 at Pittsburg,
while bar and other finished pro-
ducts remain unchanged, though
10000 bundles Of cotton ties have
been contracted for at sixty cents
per bundle. The production of coke
increases rapidly, 1868 ovens being
In blast, with an output Of 81, 1876
tons for the week. Scarcely any
business has been done in the minor
metals, and Sl1.37 is quoted for lake
copper, $3.50 for tin and S3.O5 for
lead.
In the cotton manufacture there is
further decline in some staple goods,
and takings by Northern spinners
are disappointingly light. Print
cloths accumulate and do not ad,
vance. Raw cotton comes forward
just as it did in former years when
official and other stories of injury
ended in great crops. Sales of wool
are restricted by the general convic.
ton that prices asked by interior
holders cannot be realized, and there
is considerable disposition to unload
speculative purchases at seaboard
markets. Most manufacturers have
more wool than they have orders
and others meet as yet no satisfactory
demand for goods. Sales of WOO
were only 1888 pounds at the three
chief markets, against 1924 300 70,
the same week last year."
