Women on the School Committee.
To the Editor of the Press:

DR.. Caroline E. Hastings for years a
member of Boston's school board In a
recent letter to friend in this city,
writes as follows:
"Why should women he placed upon
school boards? Why should women be
mothers, housekeepsrs, seamstresses
cooks, etc. Because they are best
adapted to fill these vocations. Now
what is needed in the family is needed in
the school room, and women more than
men, will see that the needs of the
schools are attended to. Women will look
after the sanitary needs and conditions,
as meu will not, and the thousand and
one details thar men ignore know that
many OF the details of school keeping are
better looked after in Boston, than they
would be II no women We're on the
board. Again, large numper of this
teachers are women and they should
hive some of their own sex to whom
they can appeal at times and in ways
which would be and are impossible,
when they are no women on the board.

Nitro-Glyceorine Explosion.

An explosion of nitro-glyceo-
rine occurred a half mile west of
Chesterfield, Ind, at 9 o'clock p.
m, Nov. 10Th. Sixty quarts of
nitro glyceorine were hauled
there for the purpose of shoot
ing d gas we'll. The explosive
was placed in large zinc tub,
located at the end of the steam
exhaust pipe, for the purpose of
thawing out the mixture. Tt
is the theory that the tub became
overheated, causing an explosion
with disastrous results. A hole
ten feet long and several feet
deep was torn in the earth. The
engine was blown to pieces.
Drillers Haney and Mcclure
had remarkable escape. They
We're standing within thirty feet
of the scene OF the accident, and
were hurled twenty feet by the
force of the explosion, but with
the exception of a few bruises
they escaped unhurt.
Persons one mile away were
lifted from their feet from the
conclusion and the jar was felt
for ten miles. Fire followed the
explosion, but the flames were
quickly extinguished.

ling $40, 900 of State iun6s ane
sentenced to eight years III the
State penitentiary. The sen
|tence was a crushing blow te
the prisoner, who expected bu'
a nominal punishment, and the
scene in the court room was as
taffecting as 1t was dramatic
Moore, with his wife standing
by his side, pleaded with the
court for mercy, making a long
and somewhat rambling state
ment. At is conclusion, ne
sank in his chair sobb:ng bit
terly, his wife trying vainly to
comfort him. Judge Cornish,
visibly affected, spoke slowly OF
/ the crime committed and the
entire absence of extenuatlng
circumstances. He said he be-
lieved no less than ten years IN
the penitentiary would satisfy
outraged justice. AS he paused,
Mrs. Moore threw her arms
around her husbands neck and
shouted: "Oh, please, Judge
have mercy on him, have mercy.
Judge Cornish then said:
con account of your devoted
wife and loving children, | will
reduce the sentence by two
years. Therefore the sentence
of the court is that you Will be
confined in the penitentiary for
the term of eight years at nara
labor, pay the costs of prosecu>
ton and be fined i'll the sum OF
S46,8I6.Io."
Moore's attorney will appeal
to the Supreme court. Moore
was twice elected State Auditor
and his family moved in exclu~

he learned from the papers that

In iNoi ACo Iioin thS apis tio
she had been arrested.
| He explained the conversation
with Gotha. IIe said that h.
Ehad told Gotha that Mrs: Mack
killed Guldensuppe, and also
told the barber how the body
was cut up and disposed Of. He
told Gotha OF his intention tc
give himself up to the police
but Gotha asked him to wait
He gave Gotha some pawn tick
cts and made an appointment to
meet him the following night
Thorn kept the appointment
and was arrested. During his
conversation with Capt O Brien,
Thorn said he told the detectives
some truths apd some falsehoods.
Surrogate Weller conducted
the cross examination,
Thorn said that Mrs. Mack
gave him the gold watch and
chain the day after the killing
1t had belonged to Guldensuppe.
Thorn again acknowledged
that he had lied to Captain
O'Brien when he said he was
playing pinochle at Saith street
and eleventh avenue On the day
of the killing. He said that for
the purpose of establishing an
alabi. He said it as much to
save the woman as himself.
Mr.. Weller asked Thorn about
the letter and vest which were
taken from him by sheriff Doht,
in the Queen S county jail. Thorn
had tried to destroy the letter,
but the officers rescued it.
Thorn identified the letter
and the courts interpreter trans
lated it after Mr.. Howe was
overruled in objecting to its be-
ing admitted.
In it he asks Mrs. Mack to
testify as he told her and he
would send her some more word
before the trial.
Then you were assisting in
framing the defense?" asked Mr..
Weller.
Eyes, certainly" was Thorn's
reply.
"And you were doing all you
could to cover up the cri1ne?'
"Yes, l did all l could" said
Thorn.
Thorn said the reason he told
Gotha that Mrs. Mack commit
ted the murder was because he
thought he could trust him as a
friend. This finished the cross
examination.
Mr.. Howe began his redirect
examination by showing Thorn
a telegram purporting to be
sent by Guldensuppe to Mrs.
Mack on June 2Sth. 1t was
written in German, and trans
lated it read
please go where l have
worked and tell them l will not
return, as l am going travelling.
(Signed) VIM. Guldensuppe.
Thorn said he wrote it at the
request of Mrs. Mack.
At this time Mr.. Weller inter
rupted Mr.. Howe by going back
to the cross>examination, as the
interpreter had come into court
with typewriter translations of
two letters which Mrs. Mack
wrote to Thorn, and one written
to her by Thorn while in the
Queens county prison. These
have been printed before.
Mrs. Mack suggested that
they get something to end their
lives with. Thorn in his letter,
said he had prescription which,
if it could be filled, would end
his life. He got the prescrip-
ton from a man named Clark
who was a fellow prisoner in
the tombs. He did not wish
her to die, lie wanted to see her
free.
"You were willing to die your
self and save the woman asked

IN tbls climate for snow TO remain on

hos been reached every night as soon

been one of the most extensive on

country in its eastward course, and
even bringing suow aud Ice to the

mort promises slowly rising temper
sture aud gradual disappearance of

no rain by tomorrow. Coming d.
rectly upon a iong period of almost

change has been especially trying and
