For Public Schools Appropriation
and Other Matters.
The grand jury of the superior court will
hold its final meeting for the term to-
morrow. Its general presentment will be
submitted and number of criminal in
dictments viii be handed in.
Among the cases of importance thai will
come up will be three of four justices of
the peace, against whom 1t is said pretty
strong showings of malpractice in office
have been secured. A special committee
examined the books of all the magistrates
some time ago and found Irregularities in
some instances. Since then the solicitor
general has been actively pushing the
cases, and the grand jury's investigation
is expected to elicit damaging evidence
A feature of the presentment will be the
recommending as to the county's appro-
priation for the public schools. 1t is I'M
derstood that the amount to be recon-
mended is $4,000. This is an increase of
$4,000 over last years appropriation, but
is $4,000 less than the board of education
asked for.

BuRGLARIzED A POLICEMAN.
PatrOIman Davis Experience with a
House PrOwIer.


Policeman S. NJ. Davis had a queer 'ex-
perlence awhile ago His wife and family
were away from home and he was alone
n the house. He had laid down on the
bed to take a nap before going on duty
with the night relief. Something caused
him to awake. when he noticed light
Pickering in an adjoining room.
The lamp which he had left burning In
the room he was in was missing. SeIz-
ing his pistol, which he had under his
pillow, he ran into the room where he
saw the light He found the lamp in the
middle of the floor, the flame fickering
in the breeze, which was blowing from an
open window. This window had been
closed when he retired.
After making a search OF the house
without finding anyone, he made a furth-
er investigation, and found his trousers,
which he had hung, near the head of the
bed, on the floor of another room. A sill
yer watch and chain and a small amount
of money was missing. The burglar had
entered by cutting the blinds of the win
dow.
When he reported for duty at the bar
racks that night Davis made a report of
the burglary of his house The matter
was kept quiet in the hope of catching
the burglar.
The detectives are satisfied that Tom
Appleton, the negro whom they arrested
some time ago, and who confessed to sew
eral burglaries, committed this one also,
though Appleton denies any knowledge
of it. Appleton had also declined to tell
anything about another burglary which
the detectives are convinced he committed
and the plumber from which they are very
anxious TO recover.

will not entitle the holders to teach in

recognized in all other counties, however
