hence the error. John Jones Is very

THREATENED HIS WIFE.

John l.. Evans, of 1882 Hampton

fore Alderman Moses yesterday at tn.
instance of his wife. She alleged that
on Saturday evening her husband came

he threatened to deprive her of her
only useful eye, and to add her soul
in the general ruin. She also said that
he was in the habit of maltreating her
and her life was in danger from his
conduct. Evans stoutly denied the al
legations and claimed he was perfect
ly sober. He was, however, commit
ted to the county Jail in default of $2C0

Does Not Owe &c.

Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: i would like space in your paper
to contradict statement made IN today's
Issue. l SEQ that the constable of the Eff
teenth ward made a statement that I
would not come to the meeting of consta-
bles as long as he was there, as 1 owed
him So. 1 would like to state that l never
owed that gentleman, IL he be such, any
money or anything else nor any other
constable. If he had knowingly told a
lie and If I am able to get any evidence
that he said so / will have him prove
such or stand the consequence. As far
as the meeting is concerned that | was
not here is because l have very sick
horse and j had to stay with him as
well as the doctor to give medicine as re-
quired. l have been and am secretary
and treasurer of the Lackawanna County
Constables' association and have always
attended to all the meetings without any
exception and l think that l have been
done a great injustice If they think l
would leave my horse as sick as he is
for that association they make big mis-
take. as I would not do that for a hun
dred constables' associations.

CHINAMEN STRIKES BACK.

The Chinese laundrymcn on South
Main avenue have been much annoyed
of late by boys who congregate about
their door and make a noise. They en-
dured this nuisance until yesterday,
by the action then taken will probably
have a dampening effect upon the ILL
directed enthusiasm of the boys. Last
evening, one of the lads, giving his
name as Dougher and about l2 years
of age. was arrested by Patrolman Pet
ers and locked up. At the hearing be-
fore Alderman Johns he was fined 81
charged with disorderly conduct. His
parents paid the fine.

WHAT DOTHE CHILDREN DRINKp

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-O? 1t
Is delicious and nourshing and takes the
place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give
the children the more health you distribute
through their systems. Grain-O is made of
pure grains, and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades of coffee but
costs about Il as much. All grocers sell it

Yersity of Athens.

London Jan. 50.-A dispatch to the Tele-
graph from Athens says trouble has been
brewing 1t the university for several days
past, owing TO. quarrel between the stu
dents and Professor GaIvelam. The stu
dents finally. armed themselves and took
possession of the premises, remaining there
for three days ard nights. Yesterday tFTi-
daS5 the Grectanl government decided to
close the university. A line of troops was
accordingly thrown around the buildings
estimated that fully 500 students remained
within the walls of the university. Those
within the buildings We're allowed TO leave
at any tine. but admission was absolute
ly refused by the troops 10 all persons. A
demonstration by the students who re-
manned .on the streets was accordingly
piGnned.- The procession of students at
tempted TO reach the palace for the pur-
pose of demanding from the king the dis
and the troops resisted the student mob
and the authorities finally ordered firearms
discharged in the air. The students re-
turned the fire, in the main using revolvers
During the tight 81 boy was killed and sew
eral others wounded. s
AT 4 meeting of the cabinet council last
night II was decided to maintain the block
ade OF the university buildings until the
students yield TO the authorities. The pal
ace and other public buildings are strong
ly guarded.
The university was founded in 1881, and
during recent years over loo students have
been in annual attendance upon this edu-
cational institution. The staff of the uni
Versity consists of tifty-two professors and
includes the names of some of the most

NO MORE NORMAL SCHOOLS.
luton Favorable to Addi-
tionnI Institutions.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 29.-(Special) The
proposition TO establish number of addi-
tional normal schools received a severe
blow to-day when the senate by vote of
II to II, voted down Il resolution favorable
TO more schools of that kind. Several of
the senator's who voted against the resolu-
ton said they would gladly vote for a
measure to establish one more school, but
that they Were opposed TO more than that
number. Senator King spoke against the
resolution, claiming that this legislature
should provide ways and means for Kan
sas to meet her outstanding Obligations
instead Of creating more. He said that if
appropriations are kept down this time
and provision is made to pay off 100000 in
bonds that will soon fall due, the Eastern
ers will stop their cry of Reputation
against Kansas. I'VE want to show them :"
said he, that we are not repudiators by
making provision to take up our debt the
day 1T falls due. Then they will think
more of u.s.
Senator Lewelling who wants a normal
school at Wichita. led the fight in favor of
the resolution. but he could not draw quite
enough votes to win. He lacked one SEN.
ators Jumper, Forney and Ryan assisted
King in accomplishing the defeat of the
measure. This practically means that no
additional normal schools will be estab-
lished this time.

NEWS AND GOSSIP.
..:~:.%*%:~:%.: = !.e.:~:~:~*%.:.

The Third regiment will give a dress pa
rate at the armory, Twelfth street and
Troost avenue, Monday night, February s.
Colonel Gross, of the regiment received
an order yesterday from the newly ap-
pointed adjutant general, NJ. Fred Bell in
which instructions are given to make out
a report Of all ordnance and quartermaster
stores now in the possession of the regi-
ment and forward ii to him.
Officers of the regiment were busily en-
gagged yesterday soliciting funds with
which to pay the rent of the armory. This
task has become necessary, since the regl-
ment is without cent, all its funds being
in the defunct Missouri National bank The
approI Ration now received from the state
is barely enough to pay the armory rent
and the last sum received from the state
Is tied up in the defunct bank. leaving rent
bills covering two months unpaid. The
four regiments iE the state have always
had to rely on the charity of the citizens in
order TO keep the militia on an equal foot
ing with the militia OF the surrounding
states, where the appropriations from the
state exceed by several thousand dollars
that expended by this state for its National
Guard
This condition of affairs has caused an
extra effort TO be put forth by friends of
the militia in this city to the end that the
appropriation for the state militia be in
creased during the present session of the
legisle ture.
