THE IMPEACHMENT CHARGES.
To he Tried Before Council at To-
Nights Session.

The charges against the fire commits
sloners viii be tried ~ council at a meet
ing to be held tonight. Whether the com
missioners VIII appear and defend them
selves or allow the trial 10 proceed ex
parte, is a question which is still unde-
c.ded according to the commissioners
counsel. Mr.. F. G. du Bignon and Mr.. a.
A. Lawrence.
The city marshal was kept busy yester-
day summoning witnesses about the city
who are to appear in support of the charg-
es It seems the intention 10 investigate
fully the charges as preferred against the
commissioners by the special committee,
and council appears to be losing no time ip
getting the prosecution in perfect readi-
ness for The hearing.
Mr.. duBgnon was seen last night by
a Morning News reporter. but stated that
he could give no definite answer to the
question as TO whether or not the com
missiOners would appear. He stated that
he and mis- associate, Mr.. Lawrence, were
to hold a conference this morning, at
which time the advisabiity Of appearing
would be settled.
However. il seemed that Mr.. duBignon
was very favorable to the idea of the
commissioners appearing and defending
their positions He minated that it would
be the policy of the commissioners to hold
possession Of their Offices as long as they
were contendng for them 1t was stated
by Mr.. duBignon that the commissioners
would likely be dispossessed by council If
they failed to appear BY appearing,
however, he stated that they could retain
their Offices until the litigation was ended
in the courts. Just what Mr.. duBignons
advice to the comm issioners will be is
not known, but from the above express
sions. it would seem altogether probable
that he may advise them to be on hand.

SOME NEW SCHOOLS WANTED.
sUPT. AsHNORE's REPORT TO THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

TRtemviIIe ana Mheathiu Want to
BE Put on the List-An Increase of
1O6 Pupils in the Public Schools.
a New Division of the First Grade
at Henry street school tO+Be Es-
tabIished-Board VIII Discuss FL
nnnces at Its Next Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
board of education was held last night
Considerable business was transacted, the
board remaining in session about two
hours and a half. Thos. present were
Messrs. J. r. saussy, P. A. Stovall, Lee
Roy Myers, Henry Blum and J. R. f. TAFT
nall.
After the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting, the board heard the report
of the superintendent. Mr.. Ashmore's re-
port called attention to the conditions of
the schools as conveyed in the reports of
the teachers to him on last Friday. A
total attendance of 1924 in the white gram
mar schools was shown. This was point
ed out as an increase of 1O6 pupils over
the number that was in the schools at the
corresponding time of last year. The de-
crease in the High school attendance was
TO be seventy-one. A rather curious fea-
ture of the report consisted in the state
ment that there are exactly as many col
ored pupils in the schools as at this time
last year. They were then filled to their
utmost capacity without all the children
being accommodated, and the condition of
affairs is now just as it was then.
The superintendent reported certain
changes among the teachers in the sew
eral schools, caused by the promotions
that We're made necessary by the read
Justment of the classes. After some dis
cussion these changes were al confirmed
by the board.
The committee on teachers reported an
eligible list of colored teachers. These
had been selected from among those who
stood the examinations he'd on Sept. 10.
The committees report was adopted.
Owing to the number of pupils of the
first grade on the waiting list for the
| Henry street school, a new division of this
grade 1t the school was ordered establish
edA The superintendent will organize this
| class at the earliest possible opportunity.
Miss Vaughan, who has been the assist
ant in this school, was promoted to the
| position as teacher of the new division.
The superintendent was directed to APP
point another teacher for the place left
vacant by the promotion of Miss Vaughan.
Some new communities want schools es-
tablished. Petitions were read that had
been submitted by the colored people of
Tatemville and of Wheathnl. They want
the board to establish schools for their
children. The superintendent was direct.
ed to investigate the condition of matters
at those places and to report to the next

The board adjourned to meet next Mon
day night Matters of importance will
then be considered. The question of the
finances at the disposal of the board will
be gone into. The annual report of the
| superintendent will also be read.
