MUST CLOSE THE SCHOOLS.
Lack OF Funds VIII Require This to
BE Done in December.

BE Done in December.
There is no doubt that the public
schools of the city will be closed tempo
rarily during the month Of December.
owing to the fact that there is not money
enough to their credit to carry them 10
the end OF the fiscal year.
The refusal Of the Council on Monday
night TO give the School Board 5000 more
TO be applied to the payroll account set
ties this matter. Just how long the insti-
tutions will be kept closed cannot be told
at this time. but the situation Is this:
The School Board now has $4,000 city
and $4,000 State funds for payroll pur-
poses and 81, 100 to the credit Of the gene
raj expense account, which. under the
most careful and rigid economy. will not
run the schools until the middle OF De-
cember, unless heavy reductions Ia sala-
ries are made.
Superintendent William F. Fox and
Clerk Charles p. Rady will at once begin
the preparation OF a statement as TO the
funds on hand, the require nents OF the
SYSTEM how long the money will last,
etc. and will present this to the Finance
Committee OF the School Board just as
soon as possible. This committee Will
then make recommendations to the board,
and that body Will act as II deems pest
under the circumstances; but the schools
will have to be closed Thus. 1900 chill
dren who are studying will have to lay
off and lose much valuable time.
The School Board did all in its power
to meet the cut. by closing all night
schools and cutting out one or two classes
that helped to make Richmond public
schools excellent for their curriculum
and extraordinary advantages. Exami-
nations are in February. and the fact
that during December the scholars will
not have class works may mean that
many will fail to get through, thus cramp-
ing the rooms and causing much incon-
yenience next session.

His Death-An Unmnr-
ried Man.

John Histon, twenty-five years old. en-
ployed at the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
ROAD Company's round house at Trinidad,
was struck by an engine near his place of
employment about 7:30 o'clock this morn
Ing and almost instantly killed The young
man lived at 4th and I streets northeast
and was unmarried. He left home about
ocicck this morning just after en-
1oyins his Christmas breakfast AMI
started toward the round house. Soon
after he left home he met a shifting en-
gtne and thought he would ride to Trinidad
and save himself the walk in the cold
Just as the shifting engine reached
point opposite the round house Hston
stepped off and started to run toward the
building. An incoming express train hap
pened to be moving on the south-bound
track only few feet from where Histon
left the shifting engine. The unfortunate
man evidently saw the moving express
train coming toward him, but he was un-
able to get out Of its way. Engine No

side and threw him violently to the ground
Soon after being picked up he died and
his body was brought to the city on
freight train and taken to the morguc
Policemen Of the ninth precinct who do
duty in Trinidad made an investigation OF
the case to report the facts to the coroner.
They learned that HiSton had ridden to
work on shifting engines many times be-
fore as had others employed In the round
