MORE CHARGES HURLED AT THE
 SCHOOL BOARD.
Principal Fitzpatrick Says That Spells Were
 Divided.

I in the cities about the bay. He came | to San Francisco, hoping to enlarge his 1 field of work, and, being friend of ] Principal Fitzpatrick of the Business
 Evening School, applied to him for as-
 sistance Then it was that he learned how hard it was to obtain a position even when the merit of the applicant
 was unquestioned without a pull" of some kind.
 T supposed" he said yesterday, that if my application went in in due form 1t was only a question of time when my turn would come, and I would receive
 a position. 1 learned different before
 the matter was off my hands. All of this happened several months ago, and
 l should have brought the matter to the attention of the authorities but for
 the fact that I feared to injure my friend, MT. Fitzpatrick.
 T have credentials that entitle me to
 recognition as an educator, but, as pr. Ragan said at the time, merit cuts no ice, and I gave up in despair. The per son who gave me the information that | 1t would be necessary for me to give
 up six months salary in order to be
 made a regular teacher was a man we'll known about the City Hall, bailiff of
 one of the courts, and who is known to stand very close to Dr. Ragan. 1 knew at the time this proposition was made to me that $500 had been talked of in
 connection with the teachers position,
 and that tallied exactly with the price that was named to me, for my salary for six months would have amounted to just $500.
 There is no question in my mind
 that this was a smooth way of intimat- ing that bribe of $500 was necessary to secure me my place. In reference to the Stanton matter I may say that
 heard every word of the conversation
 that MT. Stanton Is now endeavoring to repudiate, and that MT. Fitzpatrick

THE FALMOUTH.
MIR. James X Martin VIII Retire From
Its Management.

For forty years, man and boy. John
business in Portland, and his career has
been extremely successful because he has
devoted himself strictly to business and
looked after every item that enters into
the running of first class hotel. Now,
Mr., Martin feels that he is entitled to
rest. OF the eight landlords the Fal-
mouth has had, Mr.. Martin alone has ac-
cumulated handsome fortune on which
to retire, and the feat was accomplished
by trying to make the Falmouth credit
to the city, Fifteen years is his record in
connection with the Falmouth, ten, as
the prosperous landlord of the old City
hotel that stood on the site of the present
Congress Square hotel, and the rest of the
time was passed at the Preble and United
States
Today Mr.. Martin will announce to
his regular boarders that they will have
to find new quarters before May LIST.
Eight months ago he told the Brown heirs
that he should not ask for a renewal OF
his present lease An excellent business
has been done the past winter, and
among the regular boarders have been
many of our best known citizens. At the
same date all the help will be discharged,
and this means quite a serious matter
for there are seventy-two employees. Mr..
Martin says: "UnIess I can otherwise
dispose of it, I shall sell at auction after
May 1st, all the furniture in the hotel, as
that is owned by me. My plans now are
to take long rest both for the benefit OF
nv own health and that of my wife. AS
soon after May 1st as l can arrange my
business 1 shall &c. to my place in Bridg-
ton and spend the summer there. In the
fall [ shall go to Southern California and
from there proceed to Hawaii. where
propose to spend the winter of lS9s-99.
After that my plans are not fully formed,
hut own a considerable property on
Ocean street, in Deering, and that, will
claim nv attention. I shall probably
dispose of my Deering property when ]
can do SO to advantage"
Mr.. Martin has always been an ex
tremely popular landlord, capital bust
ness man, q first rate citizen, and has
always been held in the highest esteem.
We hope that he will enjoy his vacation
| thoroughly.

Anyone who wishes to sea for them
selves the amount of business which is
being carried on by the Grand Trunk
railroad would do we'll to go down to the
docks within the next few days. There
are six steamers in port at present, the
latest arrival being the Allan liner Car
thaginian which arrived yesterday after
noon. The sheds are filed with freight
and long lines of cars are moving in and
out of the piers all day long. The crews
Of stevedores at work are hustling the car
loads into the steamers as fast as possible
and the men are being worked day and

the work grows fercer every day. The

Narrow Escape of Two People From
Injury.

Yesterday afternoon, about 2. 80 o. clock.
people passing along Congress street,
near Green, were surprised to hear loud
explosion followed by the crashing OF
glass as large plate glass window in
the rooms occupied by DR.. Chase. dentist
over Catess jewelry store, was blown
into the street.
1t appears that DIR. Chase was prepar.
ing some teeth in q yulcanizer over gas
stove, situated at the rear end Of a small
room, about ten feet by seven in size, at
tached to his dental parlors. In this
laboratory Mrs. Chase, the DOCTORS wife,
and Mr.. Waldron of State street, were
standing and talking, close by large
operating chair. that stood near the front
window, The doctor was attending to
patients in the adjoining parlor. All at
once there came tremendous report;
the top of the vulcanizer flew up, and
made big hole in the ceiling; teeth IN
process of treatment in the vulcanlzer
were blown all over the room; and a pair
of Slippers were torn almost in pieces.
The plate glass window filled the room
with its broken fragments. Mr.. Naldron
said he was fairly lifted from his feet.
Mrs. Chase, as we'll as Mr.. Waldron,
were showered with broken glass and It's
a miracle they were not cut even II they
suffered no more serious injury. The
damage will not be very large, the most
of it being confined to Ethe wrecked vul-
canizer and window. People rushed In
to see what the trouble was and the ex-
citement did not subside for some time.
