UNsANIrARY BUILDINGS.

san Francisco Parents Take Child
rem From schools.
The Chronicle of October 27, says:
Reports from principals have been re-
ceived by the School Department Of
ficials, showing that several hundred
pupils have deserted from the schools
occupying the six buildings declared
by the Board of Health to be unfit for
occupancy. The parents of large
number of the pupils remaining have
also become alarmed over the danger
of their children contracting sickness,
and are filing applications for transfer
to other schools.
From the Starr King School the re-
port shows that 172 pupils have ceas-
ed to attend, and there are fifty appli-
cations for transfers to other schools
now awaiting action. Fully hundred
have disappeared from the Paramount
School and the application for trans
fers are being received daily from
parents having children in attendance
there. The Monroe School has lost
forty pupils, the Haight twelve, the
Golden Gate as many more and few
are missing from the Clement Gram
mar.
Parents have been visiting the
schools to learn from personal obser-
walton their true condition, and visit
has been sufficient to cause them to re-
move their children at once. They ex-
press great indignation that such a
condition of affairs has been permitted
to exist for so long and that money
has been spent for constructing new
buildings and additional class rooms
instead of being used to abate nuts
ances that are dangerous to the health
of the children.

MAY Return to New York.

NEW YORK, October pa sensa-
ton was created in political and Ro-
man Catholic circles last night by the
announcement that Father McGlynn
had made his final peace with Arch
bishop Corrigan and is to return to an
important parish in this city.
1t was because of alleged insubordi-
nation regarding his connection with
Henry George that Father McGlynn
was unfrocked ten years ago. Since
his return to good standing in the
priesthood, Father McGlynn has had a
parish at Newburg, but it has been an
open secret that his fondest desire has
been to return to New York.

Sempagha pass, on both sides of which
the insurgent tribes are collecting in

make a most determined resistance to
the advance of the British troops.

BL0QUENOE FROM NEWARK.

Young Mr. McDermOtcs Cltents Con-
victe 1 In Spite of Much speech.
A young lawyer named McDermott,
from Newark burst like meteor on the
General Sessions Court in this city yester-
day and paralyzed the Court and a num-
ber of lawyers and the audience; in fact,
everybody but the jury, with his acrobatic
elOquence. He was defending Frank
and Bertha Janowski, of No As Harrison
avenue, Harrison who were being tried
for atrocious assault and battery on Ed
ward Hurst, who keeps a saloon on the
first floor of the house in which the de-
fendants' live.
On October l, Hurst was cleaning up his
place and some water went on Mrs. jan
owski. She told her husband about it,
and together they proceeded to do Hunt
up. Miss Janowski chewed two of his
fingers, and her husband beat him ON the
head and shoulders with a piece of lead
pipe. Demosthenes McDermott called
Mrs. Janowsh to the stand after Janow-
ski had declared that he acted in self-de-
fence.
Now, Mrs. Janowski,". he said to the
witness, who could not speak a word of
English, state to the jury slowly what
took place on the first of October"
The jury didn't care particularly
whether the witness spoke slowly or rap
idly, as her testimony was transmitted to
them by Interpreter Stiger.
Mr. McDermott made a powerful and
resounding appeal to the jury in behalf
of his clients, but it was of no avail, as
they were convicted.

THE STAND AND DELIVER OR
DER TO THE POLICE.

[From the Evening Journal" Editorial
Page, Yesterday
The order has gone forth that each man
on the police force shall contribute S. to
campaign fund or suffer persecution for
refusal
This is an unfair abuse of power on the
part of the police officials and should not
be countenanced by the Police Commits
soners.
Enforced contribution by those who
have the power to collect has long been
outlawed when done on the highway. and
not be done in secret.
This principle has been recognized in
Federal legislation, and it should be pro-
hibited in this State SO far as local pub
lie employees are concerned. If it is ille-
gal to squeeze contributions from Federal
employees 1t should be illegal to levy
tribute on local employees. The principle
is the same in both cases.
A few days ago all of the captains re-
turned the forced contributions to the pa
trolmen, with the exception of Captain
Farrier, of the First Precinct. This is the
precinct where protected crime hourished
and fiourished most during the time that
Captain Farrier was in command of it.
The patrolmen saw the gamblers and
their dupes going in and out of the dens
on Montgomery street and on Henderson
street and other places too numerous to
mention They did not arrest these gam
blers nor interfere with their nefarious
business. The unfortunate patrolmen
dare not tell why any more than they
dare refuse to hand up" when ordered
to do so.
The Republican Police Commits
sioners are not on a par with the
Democratic machine. Some decency is
expected from them. They are not sus-
pected of being in league with protected
criminals nor of desiring to levy tribute
on the men in the department.
Why they tolerate the protection OF
criminals or contributions of the stand
and deliver kind cannot be imagined.

WRECKED IN MIDOCEAN.
Cunard Steamer Catalonia Rsscues
the Crew of the French Ship Vague.

IBy Gable to The Associated Press.
QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 27, 1S9.-The
Cunard Line steamer Catalonia, Captain
Stephens, from Boston on October 16 for
Liverpool via this port. arrived here to-
day after having been delayed by the
heavy weather which has prevailed re-
Gently in the Atlantic. During a gale on
Wednesday last. October 20. in latitude
Al 46 north and longitude 50.05 west, the
Catalonia sighted the French fishing
steamer Vague, of St. Malo, dismasted,
sinking and signalling for assistance.
Captain Stephens took off the crew of the
Vague, numbering twenty-one men and
boys, and he reports that the schooner
could not have foated more than q few
hours longer, adding that her boats
would have soon been swamped If the
fishermen had succeeded In Launching
them.
The rescue of the crew of the Vague was
a very hazardous proceeding. Two boats.
manned by volunteers, were lowered from
the Catalonia in the middle of the night.
The sea was running very high at the
time ana the sky is described as being
pitch dark" After a desperate battle
with the waves the French fishermen
were eventually taken off the sinking
schooner and landed safely on board the
Cunard Liner where they were profuse IN
their expressions of thanks for their de-
livaraYlce.

OHAUN0EY DEPEW IN OHANOERY
He Is Nominal Defendant In a
Foreclosure Suit

Chauncey Depew was a defendant in a
suit heard by Vice Chancellor Stevens
this afternoon in the Court of Chancery
As he was only as nominal defendant, he
did not grace the Jersey Court with his
presence.
The West Short Railroad Company pur-
chased a piece of property at Bulls Ferry
which was placed in the name of Mr.. De-
pew, president of the New York Central
Railroad Company, lessee of the West
s17, 900 on the property, and the vendors,
the Jane Van Horn estate, guaranteed to
take care of the mortgage. Charles Col
ton, the mortgage, has begun suit to
foreclese the mortgage, and names Mr.
Depew as defendant, because the property
stands in his name. The fight is really
between Cotton and the estate of Jane
Van Horn. The defense is that payments
have been made on the debt. Randolph
Parmly appeared for the Van Horn estate
and Charles Carrick for the mortgage.

TO FLUSH HoBoKEN's SEWERS.
Fire CommfsEio ners VIII Loan an
Old Engine for the Purpose.

Councilman William Stuerwald, repre-
senting the Committee on Streets and
Sewers of the Hoboken Common Council.
appeared before the Hoboken Board of
Fire Commissioners last night and re-
auested that the Street Department be
permitted to use old No. 3 fire engine for
the purpose of cleaning out the choked
up sewers in the Fourth Ward. The Coun-
Gil has been considering the cleaning of
the sewers for some time, but owing to
the insufficient appropriation allowed for
that purpose by the Tax Commissioners
no final action could be taken. BY using
old No. 8 engine to flush the sewers it
is thought that the expense can be greatly
reduced.
Councilman Stuerwald urged the Fire
Commissioners to grant the Councils re-
quest and said that he would guarantee
the return of the engine in the same con-
dition that it is at present The Com
missioners did not take any action on the
request, but will probably grant 1t at the
next meeting. ss.
The pay roll for the month of November,
amounting to s4,350.39, was passed, to-
gether with claims aggregating $9,S1519.
Included in the claims was a bill of IS, 400
for one of the new Amoskeag fire engines.
