THE FIRST SCHOOL WEEK.
shows That the Number of Pupils Is
About the same as Last Year.

About the same as Last Year.
The reports for the first week OF the
public schools are an IN, and have been
consolidated. Superintendent Ashmore
has made a comparison with the first
week Of last year and found that there
are now ninety-three more pupils in the
white grammar schools than at that
time.
In the colored grammar schools there
has been no increase. on the contrary,
a slight decrease Of four pupils is noted.
This latter difference is Of small moment.
however. as it was expected that the
number would be practically the same as
last year. The schools for the colored
children were then crowded, and 1t would
have been surprising had anything else
been the case this term. The accommoda-
tons for the coIored children have al
ways been inadequate, and there have
been a great many in the city who could
not secure admission,
There are also children who cannot en-
ter the white schools, owing to a lack Of
room. The number is not nearly so large.
though, as that OF coiored children. There
are only eighty-fve of them on the wait
ing list, and il is possible that they may
ali secure places before the close of the
term.
OF these children the greater number
are after places in the first and third
grades For the first grade of Henry
street school alone there are as many as
nineteen on the waiting list. This school
easily leads, the next to it having only
nine waiting. ST. Patrick's is the only
school that has not had every available
seat in the first grade taken.
The finances Of the board of education
have not warranted the employ ment of
more teachers for the accommodation of
those children who are not now able to get
into the schools. The fact that there are
ninety-three more white children this year
in the grammar schools indicates that
there has been somewhat better distri-
button of the applicants. No increase at
all in the number Of teachers has been
made
Those are not lacking who are ready to
enter a very vigorous kick about their
children not being able to obtain seats.
Mr.. AshmOre says that many have ex-
pressed themselves very freely on account
Of their not being a sufficient appropria-
ton to admit OF the employment of the
requisite number of teachers for the ac-
commodation of all the children.
A comparison of the numbers of pupils
in the High school shows that there are
seventy-four less than last year. The
falling off is directly attributed to the es>
tablishment of the tuition fee.
Nearly all of the county schools have
sent in their reports. There are thirty
seven of these. From the reports of the
city schools and those from the county
that have already been submitted it Is
estimated that there will be about the
same number of pupils as were in the
schools last year There will probably
be more, but the increase is hardly like
~ to reach the figures predicted for it.
In addition to the majority Of ninety-three
white children over those enrolled last
year, may be mentioned fifteen others,
to whom cards have been issued. These
will take their places tomorrow.

WHEAT ACQUITTED.
Preliminary Hearing on the Charge
of Arson.

of Arson.
The preliminary trial of F. D. Wheat,
charged with arson. w&s had in the SUI
perior court yesterday at 4 o'clock, before
Justices w. II. Nelson and ]. R. Saussy,
Jr. Wheat was discharged.
The case originated some time ago, when
a mattress in Wheats home, near Cedar
Hammock, was fred and the burning
of the house only averted by the timely
appearance of some of the neighbors, who
extinguished the blaze No one was in the
room at the time the fire was discovered,
except Wheat himself. 1t was presumed
that he had fired the mattress with a view
to burning the house, and c. c. Bingham
obtained a warrant for the arrest of Wheat
upon the charge of attempted arson. He
was arrested and bound over to the su-
perior court by Justice Waring Russell,
Jr. Since the preliminary hearing the
man has been confined in jail. AT the
trial he was defended by Mr. Francis p.
Salas.
The statement that Wheats wife had
him arrested was Incorrect as she did
not know he was in Jail until the day af-
ter the arrest.

WORKING ON THE MURDER.
Two Suspects Arrested and the CIew
Being Followed.

It looks as if there is a possibility for
the mystery of the Goodwin murder be-
ing cleared away. The detectives are
at work on the case. and it is expected
that there Will be developments within
a short while.
Two negroes, a man and a woman,
Rave been arrested as suspects The
woman was declared to have been impli-
Gated by the old colored man, who, it will
be rendered. lay in his house only a
short distance away from the
scene of the murder, and heard
the voices. He stated most
positively, it is said, that the woman was
one Of those he heard. She is one of
his neighbours and he claimed that he was
thoroughly familiar with her voice.
The man came in from Burroughs night
before last, and was arrested at the Plant
system depot on his being pointed out by
"a colored preacher as a man whom he
thought to have been implicated in the
killing.

church from which they had been taken.
This unceremonious removal incensed me
Rev. W. II. Harris of the St Johns
Methodist who obtained warrants against
Ford and Robinson for larceny.
The proceeding produced a small sensa-
ton In coiored church circles and num-
Der of the brethren gathered about The

WANTS TO BE RELIEVED.
DIR. Stone Does Not Think 1t Neces-
sary for Him to Stay Longer.


A steady relaxation of the quarantine
rules is being made each day and from
the outlook the present week will witness
several material notifications.
DR.. Stone has communicated with
Mayor Meldrim, requesting that he be
released from duty at Atlanta, as he does
not consider his services there to be any
longer necessary. Mayor Meldrim has
called a meeting of the sanitary board for
Tuesday night to consider the request and
it Is understood that definite action will
be taken at that time with reference to
DR.. Stones request 1t Is the opinion of
the mayor that the necessity for rigid
regulation, which existed two weeks ago,
has now passed, IS a result of the de-
crease of the number of cases of yellow
fever. The opinion is that the sanitary
board will take action favorable to Dr.
Stones request and allow him to return
His main duty has been to keep the Off
cials here informed upon the local situa-
ton in Atlanta, and particularly that Of
Miss Fleming She is now reported as en-
tirely out Of danger and all fear from
that source has been allayed.
Dr. LeHardy was to have conferred
with Mayor Meldrim yesterday about dis
continuing the fumigation Of baggage
which leaves Atlanta for Savannah. This
was not done. however, and action in
that regard will probably be left to the
sanitary board.
In speaking Of the contemplated COM
rnencement of the house drainage work,
DR.. LeHardy stated that he hoped it would
be started in the western section of the
city. This, he said was one of the places
to be guarded against, as it was his opin-

house and underground drainage systems,
there would be absolute safety against all
kinds of epidemics in that portion of the

TWO NEW POLICEMEN.
Commission Met to Fill Couple of
Vacancies.

A short session of the police commits
sioners was held at the barracks last
night for the purpose of supplying certain
vacancies which existed on the police
force.
For a long time J. J. Shea has been one
of the city's best detectives, but had
never been regularly installed upon the
detective corps. The commissioners ap-
preeiated the valuable services which Mr..
Shea has rendered, however, and elected
him to serve regularly as one Of the city
detectives.
Two vacancies were to be supplied on
the police force, which had been caused
by the retirement of Policeman Farr and
the death of Policeman Darmlng. The
two new men elected were w. J. Lovett
