Fitzpatrick then went on to say that he again prevented the director from resigning by using his powers of per suasion. He states that there will no doubt be a determined attempt on the part of a certain combination in the board to eject him from his position as principal of the Business Evening School and added that he would fight the charge to the bitter end. Here Is something further that Mir Fitzpatrick has to say which will no doubt, interest the public:
 intend to swear out a warrant for MT. Stanton's arrest on the charge of perjury. He has made an affidavit that he never told me any thing about an intention to pay Dr. Ragan $500 for a position in the Business Evening School. I state that he did and I have witnesses to prove it. I will make him answer for the lie in court.
 Late last night Fitzpatrick had an in- claims told him that brother Director admitted while in his cups that he had received money for obtaining teachers positions. The Director bitterly de- nied that he ever made such an asser- tion, and some exceedingly angry words were passed. Fitzpatrick told the Director that he had always looked upon him as a friend, but would here after treat him as an enemy. The Di- rector tried to mollify the angry prin- cipal of the Business Evening School and told him he should not lose his po- sition as long as his own influence cut any figl1re

have to come out in a Grand Jury in- vestigation unless he did the broker let himself out and told the whole story in the presence of the school director. He said that the man came from some place in the country and wanted to bor- row the money, but when he learned the use he was going to put it to he re- fused to let him have 1t. I asked the mans name, and so did the school di rector, but the broker said he had not asked it. When he came to the place where he said he saw the election to a position in the Business Evening School on the following day, I asked how he knew this unless he knew the mans name, and then he laughed little bit and gave us the name. The director pretended to be astonished-maybe he was-I don't know"
 As regards previous charges made against one of the leading directors, Fitzpatrick has also something else to say. He asserts now that he has evil dence of the fact that bribes were taken, or money paid for positions, in the voluntary confession of another di- rector who happened to be told of it by the accused director while in his cups.
 Tt was sometime ago." he stated, that I went to one of the directors with the complaint that was being ha- rassed, and intended to resign my po- sition if it did not stop. He asked me why, and I said I knew that members of the board were receiving money for positions, and would make 1t warm for somebody. I mentioned the name of the man 1 meant, and then the director with whom I was conversing said:
 I know that it is a fact that this brother director of mine has been guilty of taking money for positions because he admitted it to me while under the influence of liquor. I am disgusted and am going to resign my position.
 Then" said Fitzpatrick, ''I told him it was a duty he owed to the people not to resign but to stay in the board and do what he could for decency's sake and for the fact that he had a daughter in the department who would probably be thrown out as soon as he resigned. He admitted that perhaps this would be the wisest course. In short time how ever, he came to me again and said:
 Fitzpatrick, this thing has got to stop. The director I was speaking to you about came to me again while in his cups and told me he had just been making division of the spells with brother member. I do not care to be mixed up with such gang as that and intend to resign.

PERJURY CHARGED.
Principal Fitzpatrick Makes Added Charges and Is After
 StantOn'S Scalp.

In relation to the charges made by Principal Fitzpatrick against certain members of the Board of Education he has now something more to add something of the same nature as the former charges, but more specific in detail. Moreover, he asserts that 1t will be only a few days until he is able to verify the minutest detail of the charges he now makes. In an inter- view with representative of The Call yesterday he said:
 "There is right now man holding a position in the Business Evening School, a man whose name has not yet been mentioned in the scandal, who owes his position to the fact that he paid leading member of the Board of Education the sum of $500 to obtain it. Not only that, but the man had to borrow the money he paid this director from broker. He got his position the next day. was told this by the broker in person, who added that on the following day aft CT advancing the money he noticed in the papers that the man who had borrowed the money had been elected teacher in the Business Evening School the next day. will prove ev- erything have said when the proper time arrives. The broker afterward claimed that somebody else had loaned the money.
 T was so eager to have proof of this fact continued Principal Fitzpatrick, that went after one of the school di- rectors, whom l do not care to name now. and had him go with me to the broker in person and have him reiter- ate the story. This he at first refused to do, but upon being told that 1t would

DE LORME'S BLACKSMITH. Rev. F. B. Cherington Describes the Famous Painting and
 PninfS a Moral

6O1uCS u IAOTd1.
 At Plymouth Congregational Church yesterday morning Rev. F. B. Cherington made the following reference to De Lormes "Blacksmith'':
 "A blacksmith in his rude, dingy shop. with grimy brow and toil-besmirched leathern apron, may not seem to ordinary eyes a very remarkable sight, but a French artist has so gloriously touched that subject with his transforming power that to those who have seen his picture 1t can never again be an uninteresting one. De Lormes superb genius caught and set forth all the deep poetic beauty and sublime significance there is in mans mastery over fire and metals, the forces and objects of nature. So he painted the blacksmith standing at his forge with all the solemn majesty. earnest resolu- tion and quiet reserve force of divine Vulcan in human form. His great, pow erful muscles are for the moment quies- cent, but notwithstanding the silent dig nity of his attitude, there Is such a vivid suggestion of alertness and suppressed energy. that you are momentarily ex- pecting him to quickly draw out the glowing iron from the fire and, with amid flying sparks deftly fashion on his ringing anvil some useful implement or thing of beauty. You gaze steadily and with fascinated vision upon the ruddy uncouth object within the humble shop old rusty chains, broken wheels, cast-off horse-shoes. smoky rafters, cobwebbed corners. windows almost opaque with long-gathered dust, but, above all, the strong, kindly, earnest face of the black smith himself. all are suffused by the rich, red glow of the fiercely burning fires of the forge, and as you look hu- man toll seems no longer menial, but rather to have reached its Mount of Transfiguration glory.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.

A mddle-aged woman giving her name as Nellie Ryan swallowed a dose of car bolic acid last night in a lodging house at 734la Howard street with suicidal in- tent. She was removed to the Receiving Hospital where the surgeons gave as their opinion that she could not live.
 The unfortunate woman is the wife of Martin Cleery who gained considerable notoriety some time ago through his con- nection with the recent Custom House frauds.
 Several months ago they separated, the woman going to live in the house In which she attempted to take her own life
 Before taking the deadly dose Mrs. Cleery arrayed herself in an immaculate nightgown. Her groans were heard by the landlady. who on discovering her condition at once notified the police
