The City Council Prescribes
For 1t a Financial
Tonic.
BEACH REPRESENTS BOARD.
Tells of Its Troubles-The Council Gives
Fifteen Hundred-Commissio
Will Probably do the Same.

The members of city council met in
special session yesterday afternoon IN
the capacity c, physicians, the suffer-
ing patient be s.
TEN. The council adopted tD ally
cure that could possibly be efficatious
"a fidanclal one.
Mr.. j. L. Beach, a member of the
board of education, appeared before
the council, and spoke in behalf of the
schools. His remarks were full of
earnestness, as he depicted the unfor-
tunate shortage of finances which
crippled the board in its work. "The
closing of the schools, as now threat
ened," said Mr.. Beach, "would be
greater calamity than a yellow fever
epidemic. There Is no prevention of
such calamity, however, except aid
from the city and county,"
Mr.. Beach stated the fact that there
were teachers in the city schools who
had not received cent of salary since
last June, "The whole truth about
the matter is" added Mr.. Beach, 'that
our schools have been running for
some time on nothing more than the
sympathy and charity of few ladies
and gentlemen, who have been devOt-
ing their time to the public good as
teachers"
Mr.. Beach assured the council that
1t had been decided by the board that
hereafter the schools would be main
tanned strictly within their income;
and that the council would not be ap-
pealed to again, for several years at
least.
Alderman Krauss introduced a reso-
luton, which was adopted, appro-
prlating $l,50O-one half of the amount
needed by the schools-with an addi-
tion of $3.50 to cover IL per cent. dis
count. rhe resolution was adopted
and council djourned.
Mr.. Beach and Mayor Mason Will
appear before the county commission
ers at their next meeting, In the same
cause. 1t is more than probable that
the commissioners will appropriate
the same amount as the council.
In this event, the schools will be
continued, and the back salaries due
the teachers Will be paid. If the COM
missioners do not make the appro-
priatoD, the council will not be called
on for its share, and the schools will
have to close on April l.

SAYS HE WILL WALK.
Coroner Jennings Seems in Earnest
On His Rope-W alking.

Many friends went to Coroner G.
A. III. Jennings yesterday with at
tempts to dissuade him from his an
nounced intention of walking a tight
rope across Newcastle street. The
notice of the coroner's purpose in
Sundays TIMES created considerable
CONSERVATION throughout the city
and there were all sorts of express
sions on the subject.
Mr.. Jennings was seen by TIMES
man. He is deeply in earnest. "They
say l can't do it," be SAID, somewhat
warmly, "and propose to show them
that [ can. I don't see any occasion
for so much apprehension on the part
of my friends. 1t is no new venture;
am an old and practiced hand at the
business, and although quite num-
ber of years have elapsed since / last
tried 1t in public l am not afraid to
trust myself. 1t will amuse the chill
dren, and also prove my assertions on
the subject. l am not the man to
back down."
Mr.. Jennings yesterday obtained the
necessary permit from A. Kaiser &
Bro. for the privilege of stretching a
rope from their building. The rope
will be stretched from one of the
third story windows of the Kaiser
block to the roof of the custom-hOuse,
on the opposite side of the street.
The day has not been definitely de-
clded on. But the walk says the
coroner, will occur this week sure !"
The public will await the event with
great lnterest.

ceived Months Ago.
Aaron Brown, cOlored, died Satur-
day at his home, COS N. Albany street,
from the effects of blow received on
the head over year ago. The blow
was inflicted by Henry johnson, COL
0red, who was arrested and tried in
superior court on charge of assault
with intent to murder. He was con-
victed and sentenced to the peniten-
tlary for five years. The evidence
showed that Johnson laid in wait for
his victim and gave him the deadly
ly blow without warning.
1t is rumored that johnson recently
died in the coal mines, where he was
serving out his sentence. This being
so, the case of course is ended. If
Johnson, however, still lives he can be
tried for murder.
