GoULD's "waGEs" NOT ENEMPT,
New York Court Of Appeals Decides
Interesting Case.

A dispatch from Albany. n. Y. yester-
day. says: The court of appeals decided to-
day that George J. Gould must pay the sum
required by law on the $5.U00oO0 bequest
made by his father.
When Jay Gould died, one of his leEacies
was five-million-dolar gift to his son
George. This, the will specifically stated,
was not legacy, but was to pay a debt
due the son OF the fnancier for years Of
valuable service. However, suit was
brought by the controller to compsl a full
payment under the collateral tax law
This, the court of appeals decides, must be
done.
David Mcclure, who was appointed ap-
praiser placed the valuation of the Gould
ectate at S13,6l5, 49,. The executors appeal
ed from this decision on the ground that it
was excessive 10y at least ten millions. Mr..
Mcclure held, and the surrogate of New
York county asreed. that the S5ooo,oOg
willed to George Gould was not taxable.
because il was specified and described as
wages due for twelve years OF work.
The court holds that the appraiser was
right in taxing the estate of 73,Gl5 43T,
which sweeps away the contention about
ten million excess, and sustains the states
appeal from all decisions declaring the five
millions left to George Gould as exempt
on the ground that the bequest was made
to pay wages due for specified services

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Ceremonies Attending the Opening of
the Institution.

The formal opening of the Catholic Uni
versity for the scholastic year 1889 took
place yesterday. Mass of the Holy Ghost
was celebrated by the right reverend
rector, Mgr. Conaty, at $50, and the
Divinity Chapel at Caldwell Hall was
filled with professors and students in their
academic costumes. After the mass the
right reverend rector presided over the
ceremony of the profession of faith, which
is made annually by all the professors of
the university. The Very Rev. Thomas j.
Shahan, D. D., dean Of the faculty of di-
vinity, read the profession of faith, after
which all the professors came to the altar
and took the oath of profession, reverently
kissing the book of the Gospels which was
held by the rector. Following this cere-
money there was a meeting of professors
and students in the assembly room of Nc
Mahon Hail. where the right reverend rec
to- addressed the students, welcoming all
to the work OF the year and encouraging
them to earneStneSS and enthusiasm in
their studies, reminding them of the Sc
riousness which university life demanded.
He held up before them the ideals of truth,
which each one should strive to follow.
and bade them to conscientious and persist
ent endeavor, in order to attain to the high
est results. The session was then formally
opened.
The rector su0seql entity met the profess
sors and instructors in the senate room IF
the university and spoke to them of the
purposes of the university. which called
from them an unity of action well as a
disinterasted devotion to the sacred cause
of truth in the fields of higher education
according to Catholic ideals. The rest of
the day was occupied IN the registration
of students and consultations with pro-
fessors as to courses of studies.
The outlook for the year was declared 10
be very encouraging from the large num-
Der of new students presenting themselves
for the different departments. Noticeable
amCng the students who returned We're
those who had left the university to enter
the army at the beginning of the war with
Spain. All the professors were present at

DISORDER IN A SCHOOL.
Principal Attempts DtscipHh"rf
Measures and Causes Panic.

There was great excitement in the Brad
ley public school building, corner of 13R
and D streets southwest, yesterday after
noon. and as the outcome several of the
pupils were more or less hurt. The cause
of the trouble, as told by Mr.. Charles a.
Johnson, was as follows: 1.-The gentleman
who preceded me as principal of the Brad
lev School had a great deal of trouble with
the bows. The first of the school year, Sep
tember 10. 1 was sent there to take charge
and raise the discipline if possible. Yester-
day morning when the boys fell in line,
after a recess given at 1890 o'clock, was
annoyed exceedingly by frequent cat-calls.
hunsrning, whistling, stamping on the floor
and all manner of noises. l spoke to the
entire school and requested the boys to
stop such behavior at recess and threat
ened more drastic measures II they con-
tinued it.
"At l o'clock. after the noon recess they
fell in their respective single file lines
usual, and instead of behaving better they
were more disorderly. This business had
been going on ever since school opened. 1t
was now worse than ever, and l felt that
the time had come to bring out the disci-
pline or give the task up and let the disor-
der simply run me out Already 1t had
made me sick since the 10th of September.
'The cat-calls grew louder and l tried to
catch some offender so could punish him,
but the boys were too quick and l could
not locate any individual whom l could be
certain was guilty. Still, the longer kept
the lines standing there the worse the
racket became, and 1 felt that If l let the
boys go up stairs without making myself
felt it would be my finish as disciplin-
ar:an, so l singled out a locality where the
noise was at that time the worst
There were nearly 200 boys in the sew
eral lines, and l had to select some partic-
ular line to begin on. 1 selected the last
part of the third grade, where the boys
are about ten years old, and a part of the
seventh grade where they are about fifteen
years old. With the palm of my open hand
1 slapped them, one after the other. right
down the line. By the time l had slapped
fifteen or twenty, the guilty ones had be-
gun to yell. and then there was general
stampede for the door leading to the street.
Many little boys Were krocked down and.
believe hurt 1t was all SO sudden that
cannot tell who knocked these children
down. 1 was amazed and stood still after
1 saw the rush for the door. 1 had not an
ticipated having any trouble with the boys
and had left the doors to the street open.
In two minutes. think nearly every
mother, father and brother for half a mile
around was in the play room, surrounding
me and voicing Iall manner of threats

the boys with his open hand, and not hard

SETTLED BY COMPROMISE
Case Ends After Twenty-Five Years of
Litigation.
Suit of Margaret Hetxel Against b.
and o. Railroad Company
for Damages.

After remaining on the docket for over
twenty-five years, and having gone back
and forth through all the District courts and
the Supreme Court of the United States,
the case of Margaret Hetzel against the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was compro-
missed today in Circuit Court No. 1, Justice
Cole presiding. This disposition of the
case was agreed upon by Mr.. Frank W.
Hackett, counsel for the plaintiff, and
Messrs. Hamilton & Colbert, representing
the railroad company. but the terms of the
compromise were not made public.
April "a, 1876, Margaret Hetzel entered
suit against the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany on the law side of the District Su-
preme Court, asking $4,000 damages. She
owned property in the neighborhood Of B
and North Capitol streets, and claimed the
railroad tracks built along there obstructed
her real estate holdings and damaged the
lots in value to the amount mentioned in
the declaration.
The case was first tried in the Circuit
Court, going from that tribunal to the
general term, and coming back to a special
term of the Circuit Court for another trial.
1t we+s afterward taken to the. Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia and
from there went before the Supreme Court
of the United States. AT the last session
OF this highest court of the land the case
was remanded to the Circuit Court Of the
District for a retrial.
1t WeS one of the first cases on the Oc-
tober docket and was taken UP this morn
iEg Immediately after the jury in Circuit
Court No. had been called.
Mr.. Hackett, who has represented the
plaintiff continuously since the filing of her
suit, is the only lawyer who remained in
the case from the first. He spoke interest
lngly today on the progress of the suit
through tho various courts.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
originally represented by Judge Walter s.
Cox. who left the case when ne became
AIN associate justice of the District Supreme
Court, which position he now holds. Judge
Cox was succeeded by James H. Buchanan
and by R. T. Merrick, respectively, as
counsel for the defendant company. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Merrick. Mr.. Martin F. Morris,
Appeals of the District of Columbia. took
up the case. He was succeeded by Messrs.
Hamilton and Colbert, the railroads pres
ent counsel.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Accusation Made by Mrs. Archer
Against Walter Gloves.

Walter Gloves, a neatly-dressed young
colored man, who is employed in the Navy
Department, was given a trial in Judge
kirnbalfs court this morning on a charge of
assaulting Mrs. Mary Archer, colored, who
lives at 232 L street southwest. The de-
fendant rented a room in Mrs. Archer's
house and she called at the department OH
the 10th of August to collect 81 which she
claimed he owed her. While in the depart
ment she claims he assaulted her. She told
the court that when she called at the de-
partnent to see the paymaster Gloves
struck her four times and knocked her
down He also threatened to kill her, so
she stated.
Now, Mrs. Archer" said Attorney Jones,
isn't it true that all he did was to beg
you to leave him alone?"
NO. indeed" answered Mrs. Archer
I'm not going to tell a lie for anybody,
for belong to the Shiloh Baptist Church
and won't tell a story
counsel attempted to show that Mrs.
Archer had instituted the charge because of
an outside party who is unfrendly TO
Gloves, but witness said she had sworn out
the warrant because of the assault and for
no other reason. r. ..-. .-. - J
The defendant denied that he had used
any bad language. When Mrs. Archer
called on him. he said, she wouldn't wait
until he could get the money from the pay
master. Instead of waiting she made an
outcry and caused considerable excitement
tie admitted that he took her by the arm,
but in a friendly way to escort her to the
chief clerks room. When he did this, he
said. Mrs. Archer grabbed him by the col
lar and struck at him several times, when
he pushed her off and she fell down. Gloves
said he had been sick for about two weeks
and had not hid a chance to pay Mrs
Archer.
A young woman who accompanied Mrs
Archer to the department said she saw no
blows struck. One of the messengers in the
department said that Mr.. Gloves "smacked
her down" when she put her hand in his
collar. Another witness said he saw Gloves
strike the woman three blows.
Nobody saw me strike her. said the dc
fendant Il admit | pushed her down, but
/ had reason for it,
1t was stated by counsel that the bill was
not d month old. and that Mr.. Gloves had
no idea of defrauding Mrs. Archer
Judge Kimball commenting on the case
said he thought the woman did not use
good discretion in going to the department.
In deciding upon the penalty the judge said
he would take in consideration the provoca-
ton. A fine Of $40 was imposed.
