COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Lectures by Out-Of-TOwn PedagOgues
at Yesterdays Sessions.

About $50 young men and women are at
tending the annual session of the Marion
county teachers institute, which began a
five days session in Room q Superior Court,
yesterday morning. Teachers are here from
all over the county, and it is expected the
attendance will be larger to-day.
The teachers took much interest In the
exercises yesterday. In the morning Prof
j. A. Bergstrom, of the State University
discussed the conditions of Mental Activ-
ity." In the afternoon he gave a talk on
the sanitary condition of schools, compar-
ing the American schools to those of Eu-
rope. The professor believed from what he
had observed, that the foreign school ar
rangements, as far hygienic conditions
are concerned, are superior to the Ameri-
can. By means of a chart he gave his views
of the hea!thful schoOlhouse. AS to light
ing, he held that the light should strike the
left side of the pupil. He believed school
houses should be arranged with this idea
in view.
W. A. McBeth Of the State Normal
School, Of Terre Haute, gave lesson on
New Ideas of Presenting Geography" In
presenting his views he referred to the
Wabash river, speaking of the geological
formation of the stream. Professor Arthur
Juergens followed with a talk on vocal
music. He comes from Springfield, O., by
special invitation of the institute. He urged
the Importance of teaching vocal music in
the schools, asserting that 1t should be
made univ ersal in this country. Professor
Juergens will have series of musical lee
lures during the week.
The institute will convene again at 3
O. clock this morning.

corporation tax, 80 cents; schoolhouse bond,
10 cents; sinking fund, 10 cents;

pected to be finished in two weeks. The
addition consists of four rooms, capable of
accommodating $50 pupils. Only three
rooms in the new addition will be used this
winter. One more teacher is to be added
to the force of instructors, making eight
instructors, including the superintendent
Alfred J. Brown. The arrangement which
was in force last year, by which the more
advanced high school pupils were perm t
ted to attend the preparatory department
of Butler College free Of charge, Will not

HE KNITTED HIS FATHER
HARRY FARRELL ALSO DISLOCATED
THE PATERNAL LEFT SHOULDER.
Incidentally Caved in the Old Gentle
mans Head-JarrcIl, ST., Had
Been Beating Mrs. FARRELL.

There was a tumultuous time In the house
of FARRELL last evening. The Jarrells, fam
lily consisting of Henry, his wife Amanda,
and their son Harry, occupy house at
q South Senate avenue. All are more or
less inclined to the bowl that inebriates.
Yesterday the three spent most of the day
rushing the can" and getting themselves
in condition for the scenes of early last
night.
Henry FARRELL is now at the hospital laid
up for repairs. He has a knife wound under
the left shoulder blade that came near end
ing his life. He also suffers from a cash
in the head, which was made by a brick
thrown by his eighteen-year-old son. And
besides these wounds, he had his left Shout
der dislocated. Mrs. farrell escaped with a
bad black eye. The son was not hurt, but
he occupies cell at the county Jail charged
with assault and battery with intent to
kill.
1t seems that the elder FARRELL took adj
vantage of the boys temporary absence
from the house to amuse himself by CIV
ing Mrs. FARRELL a whipping. He had
knocked her down once by blow in the
eye, when the son arrived on the scene.
In one hand the son held a brick and in
the other a long bladed knife. With the
brick thrown with accuracy that would
have done credit to more worthy purpose,
he fioored his father and then jumped upon
him and stuck the knife into him. The
senior farrell ran to Navin's drug store,
at the corner Of Washington street, and a
message was sent for the Dispensary
physicians and also to the police station.
When bike cops Holtz and Wallace ar
rived they found that Harry farrell had
followed his father and was trying to get
to him to finish the job he had begun They
overpoWered the young man and sent the
whole family to the police station. DR..
Courtney made an examination of Henry
Jarrell's wound and sent him to the hos
pital. The hospital physicians say FARRELL
will recover.
Harry FARRELL is well known to the police
and this is not his first appearance in the
public prints. Last winter he and another
young man broke in the show window of
Schergen'S jewelry store at the corner of
Washington and Alabama streets and stole
two clocks, which they gave to some
women. They We're arrested for this rob
berry, but released by Judge McCray. Not
long ago Mr.. and Mrs. FARRELL went fishing,
and while they were away from home the
son attempted suicide, giving as a reason
that he was lonesome.

A STRANGERS SUDDEN DEATH.
Picked Up in the Street-A Trained
Nurse En- Route to Chicago.

At 1880 o'clock last night young man
was seen to fall to the ground in front
of DR.. Minor Morris's residence, (old) 7S9
North Pennsylvania street. He was carried
into the house and it was found that he
was suffering from a severe hemorrhage Of
the brain. DR.. Thomas, Of the City Dis
pensary was summoned The young man
was unconscious, but revived long enough
to tell something of himself. He said his
name was George Gray, that he was a
trained nurse and was his way from
New York TO Chicago. He had just recent
~ recovered from a spell of typhoid fever
at Bellevue Hospital. Two weeks ago he
was discharged and started to Chicago,
where sister lives.
He reached this city yesterday morning
and had spent the day trying to find some
work TO do to earn money enough TO get
TO Chicago. He was unconscious again as
soon as he told this little story Of himself.
1t was thought then he would die He was
removed however, by DR.. Thomas to the
City Hospital where his death occurred
later in the evening. He was about TWEEN
ty-four years old, well dressed and genteel

NO FOUNTAINS At NIGHT.
Regents VIII Wait TIL the Candel.
abra Are An Place.

The magnificent fountains under the
shadow Of the soldiers monument, which,
as the Hoosiers boast, are the largest in
the world will only run in the daytime
during the next year and a half. for the
monument regents do not deem it best to
operate the fountains at night without
proper light around the base of the monu-
ment. AS the regents have not enough
money to carry out the original candelabra
design, they will have to wait until the
Legislature appropriates some more money.
There has been a suggestion that the re-
gents erect temporary lights near the foun-
tains. The objection to operating the foun-
tains without light, it is stated, is that
small boys and loafers attracted to the
place deface the walls of the monument by
cutting the stone and splitting tobacco Juice
over the clean white stones of the fountain.
One night after the fountains were in OPP
Grafton the custodian discovered small boys
had scratched and Uttered the place with
tobacco. When there is no light around
the base Of the monument the night watch
man fails to detect the vandals.

JANITOR CONDON'S BODY HAD LAIN
THERE THIRTY-SIX HOURS.

Judges Rooms by the stencil
Cause of the Demise.

Thomas Condor, aged about sixty years,
was found dead in the room Of Judge Jas
B. Black, at the Statehouse, yesterday
morning. Condor was a janitor, in charge
of the Appellate courtroom and the rooms
of the judges of the court He was former
ly on the regular force of the custodian,
having been appointed by Timothy Griffin
shortly after the new Capitol was COM
pleted. When the new custodian went in
Condor was relieved from duty, but was al
lowed to continue as the private janitor to
the Appellate judges, and occupied room
in the building.
Yesterday morning the employees noticed
a stencil on the third floor and traced it to
Room 49, The door was locked on the in
side, but by climbing up to the transom it
was discovered that Condon's body was ly-
ing on the bed and from it came the SMELL
The coroner and the police We're notified.
Captain Dawson arrived before the door
was opened and had the engineer remove
the lock from the door. When the door was
opened the stencil was so great that men
could not enter the room. Condor lay on
the bed, his body already in a state of
putrefaction and Weltering in blood. So
much blood had flown from the mouth and
nostrils that it completely saturated the
mattresses and drpped through and stood
In cIotted pools on the floor. The body had
probably been there for thirty-siX hours.
Condor was last seen early Saturday
evening. He came into the building from
the street, carrying d handkerchief in his
hand: He told one of the janitors that he
had finished his washing short while be-
fore and was drying the handkerchief
Some articles of clothing were subsequent
ly seen by the janitor hanging on u line in
the Appellate courtroom.
The body was taken to Collier &s Muir
phys morgue and an autopsy made during
the afternoon to determine the cause of
death
Several physicians assisted In the inquest
and the conclusion was reached that death
was caused by fatty degeneration of the
heart. Last evening William Hauch, a
prominent citizen of Delphi, came to this
city and had the body shipped there for
burial. a sister-in-law and niece Of Condor

Condor had no relatives in this city He
was WidoWer with no children. A letter
found in his pocket was signed by Mrs j.

AN INCREASE OF $4,000.
City Revenues for Next Yenr-NO Need
of Raising Tax Rate.

Last Friday the Journal published an in
terview with Controller Johnson, in which
he said that from semi-offlcial Informal
ton he had received from the county as
SCISSOR, he thought that the increase in the
tax duplicate might reach 100000 over
that of last year. This, he said, would give
an increase of $50, 900 in the city's revenue.
Mr.. Johnson has obtained official figures
from Assessor Saulcey, which were pub
lished in the Journal Sunday They show
that, aside from $500 900 assessed against
the Indiana Manufacturing Company, the
duplicates will show $117, 702, 500 There is
some question as to the ability to enforce
the assessment against the Indianapolis
Manufacturing Company on account of the
federal injunction. Mr., Johnson believes
that in all fairness it should stand, but as
it is in controversy, he viii not depend
on the taxes it would bring. With this item
left out the increase over last years assess
ment is S94l65S5. A 60-cent tax levy pro-
duces 5000 on the 81. 100000 of taxable prop
taxes Will be something over $4,000 If the
Indiana Manufacturing Company case is
flpally decided III favor of the officials the
increase VIII come close TO Mr.. Johnson 5
first approximate estimate of $50, 00o.
With the official figures before him yes
terday Mr.. Johnson said that he did not be-
Heve IL would be necessary to increase the
tax levy.
Il had hoped at the. beginning of the
administration, p" he said, that we might
be able to reduce the levy, but that is out
OF the question now, since annexation 1t
might have been done otherwise"
Mr.. Johnson was unable TO make any
estimate of what the gross increase in APP
preparations Will ne over those of a
year ago. This afternoon a cabinet meet
ing is to be held. at which the subject will
be discussed. Mr.. Johnson mentioned a few
items on which there win be additional
appropriations, among them an increase In
the fire and police forces electric lighting
IN the suburbs and other things to which
the Journal referred last week, notably S20-
00 10 pay interest or the park and station
house bonds issued This year.

posed the passage of the 3-cent-fare law.
1t also a fact that seven of the eight
Democratic members of the Legislature
who lived at Mr.. Taggarts hotel during the
session of the General Assembly voted
AGAINST the 3-cent-fare law. Mr.. Healing
said these were facts he could back up and
prove whenever 1t became necessary. His
description of how the administration pla-
Gated the ''SilVer push about the time of
the city convention by appointing a number
of garbage inspectors" created much
amusement IN the audience. Mr.. Healing
