THE QUINCY BURGLAR.

Quincy, Mass, December "a. After two
days spent In running down fruitless
clues as to the identity of the burglar
found dead In the house of John Shaw
on Thursday morning, the police tonight
feel almost certain that the man was
Charles Hanson of Gloucester, Mass.
Word was received from the Gloucester
police this afternoon that Hanson, who
has already served two terms in the Els.
sex county house of correction tor robbery
and who was wanted again for the same
offense, has been missing from that city
for some time and that the published
description of the Quincy man appeared
TO coincide with that of Hanson.
A local officer was therefore sent to
Gloucester tonight and later in the even
ing q telephone message was received
from him stating that four persons have
identified Hanson from photographs
which the officer carried with him. Il il
expected that one or two of uhe Gloucester
police who knew Hanson well will come
back to this city with the local officer to-
morrow and that positive Identification
will then be made.

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA.

the Austrians from Prussia. In his an

pectation warranted by the assurances
of the Berlin cabinet, that greater con-
sideration would be shown to Austrians,
not bs fulfill I'd, the government would not
hesitate to energetically protect the
rights of Austrians and, il necessary,
adopt rstaliatory measures. The writer
of the communication says the Premier q
remarks are entirely misunderstood in
Germany and after dwelling upon the
c1oseness of the relationss between Ger
many and Austria, adds: "Count Thun
Hohenstein is officially and personally
as loyal supporter not only of the
treaty connection, but also of the inti-
mate relations Of the two emr Tres, as any

SISTERS AS TEACHERS.

Albany, N Y, December "a State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Charles r. Skinner has given decision
who appeals from the action of the board
of education in Poughkeepsie in leasing
for school purposes two buildings owned
by St. Peters Roman Catholic church
and the employment as teachers of two
sisters of charity who dress in the garb
peculiar to their religious sect and are
addressed usually in the school by their
Christian names prefxed by the term
"Sister." Superintendent Skinner cites
the decision of Superintendent Draper
rendered March "a, 1857, that the wearing
of a religious garb by teachers constitutes
a eectarian influence which ought not to
be persisted in, and the same may be said
of the language in which such teachers
are addressed. Superintendent Skinner
says: 81 decide that the action of the
respondents herein, in hiring rooms and
buildings in which to conduct any of the
schools of the said city and continuing
the lease of buildings rented by former
board, and in conducting schools therein
beyond the period Of emergency con-
templated by the statute, is without legal
authority on the part of the respondents.
~ also decide that it is the duty of the
respondents to require teachers employed
by them to discontinue In the public
school room the use Of distinguishing
dress or garb of any religious order
This decision must be filed with the
clerk of the board of education of the city
of Pougnkeepsie and notice thereof be by
him given to the appellants and respon-
dents with opportunity to examine the
same.

: KNIFE FOUND AT LAST.

Columbus, Ohio, December 24.-Offi-
Gals of the penitentiary today succeeded
in finding a knife that was probably
secreted by Thomas W. Bullett Of Louis
vile, KY, who was one of the Morgan
raiders who was imprisoned with the
famous Confederate in the prison during
the civil war and who was one OF the
number to escape from the prison. Mr..
Bullett recently told how and where he
had seoreted the knife and expressed the
belief that it was still in the place where
he put it years ago. 1t was said that the
knife was one of fourteen which the
prisoners had made and which were hid
den when the fact of their possession was
exposed. The place of concealment Was
said to have been in IN air shaft and
after persistent search it was found at
the bottom where it had dropped since the
raiders left the prison. 1t was rust eaten
and the handle of wood had nearly rotted
away. A second knife was also found in
the tunnel.
The discovery is of especial interest since
it settles a much mooted point-the
means of escape of the prisoners
The mos6 of the prison officials believe
that the first knife is the one secreted
by Mr.. Bullett and if that be true, it
proves beyond question that the Morgan
raiders made their escape, as has always
been claimed, by the tunnel route and not
by the aid of conniyance Of any prison
officials. This point is given emphasis,
too, by the fact as stated by Mr.. Bullett,
that the raiders took no stock in Warden
Marion, in fact disliked him, but he was
anxious that the truth should be known
for the truth of history and In order to
relieve the warden's memory of any
odium that might have attached to it by
reason of the escape of Gen. Morgan and
his six coynpaDions

the promoters of this plan TO induce the
town of South Portland, the city of Port

railroads to jointly bear the cost of the

on excellent authority that the Boston

FOUGHT YELLOW JACK.

Chicago, December 24.--Dr. John Ham
ilton, ex-surgeon general of the United
States marine hospital service, died in
Elgin, Ills, tonight. For over year he
had been superintendent of the state
asylum for the insane at Elgin, and it
was within the walls of the institution
that he breathed his last. 1t had been
expected for over week that his death
would come almost any time. DR.. Ham
ilton was attacked by severe cold two
weeks ago and in few days peritonltis
developed. On December IS, it was de-
cided by DR.. Nicholas Sem that an opera
ton was necessary to save the patient s
life. The operation was performed and
at its conclusion DIR. Sem stated that in
his opinion DIR. Hamilton had no chance
of recovery. For few days there seemed
to be probability that he would pull
through. For the last two days he has
been sinking rapidly and death came at
g. 80 tonight.
DR.. John B. Hamilton was born in 1S47
in Jersey county, Illinois, and graduated
from the Rush Medical college, Chicago
in 1869. In 1874 he was appointed assis-
tant surgeon in the United States army,
but resigned in 1876 to enter the marine
hospital service. Three years later he be-
came supervising surgeon general of that
service. DR.. Hamilton caused the first
visual examinations of pilots to be made,
and the first physical examinations OF
seamen as preliminary to shipment.
During his incumbency he succeeded in
having the national quarantine acts
passed and successfully managed the
campaign against two epidemics of yell
low fever. In 1891, when the House of
Representatives failed to pass the Senate
bill providing for the equalization of the
salary of his office with that of the sur
geon general Of the army and the surgeon
general of the navy, DR.. Hamilton re-
signed his commission of surgeon general
and returned to the ranks He was sta
toned at Chicago for three years in
charge of the marine hospital service, but
in 1895, rather than be transferred to San
Francisco resigned from the service alto
gether. He was professor of surgery at
the Rush Medical college and the Chica-
go Poly technic, surgeon to the Presbyt teri
an hospital and consulting surgeon to St.
Joseph's hospital and the Central Free
dispensary, and was known far and wide
as the editor Of the Journal of the Anne.
rican Medical Association.
He possessed the largest private surgi
cal library west of the Alleghenies.
