THE SCHOOLS
Will Resume This Morning, With the
Exception Of Richie Annex and
the Old Building in Madison Dis
trict.

There were many inquiries by par
ents yesterday concerning the public
schools. A Register reporter called on
Superintendent w II. Anderson last
night and asked for information on
this point.
You may say" he said, that the
schools will be open this morning, with
the possible exception of the Richie
annex, and the old school in Madison
district"
The only school buildings which the
water entered were the two named as
exceptions by Prof. Anderson. Prof.
j. G. Gwynn, principal in Madison dis
trict, stated that the water was in the
first floor of the old school building,
and although the fires had been light
ed in the furnaces, he did not think it
advisable to conduct school, in the
basement rooms at least.
Prof. F. H. Crago told Register re-
porter that in his opinion it would be
inadvisable to conduct school this week
in the Ritchie annex. The building is
in such shape that a great deal of
cleaning will be necessary, and it will
be Wednesday before 1t will be in
shape for school purposes.

BADLY BURNED.
Lawrence Steyle, South Side Boy
Injured Last Evening by an Ex-
plosiOn Of Natural Gas.

Lawrence Steyle, Postal Telegraph
messenger boy, was badly burned last
evening by a natural gas explosion
at his home at No. 1902 Market street.
He went into an outbuilding in the
yard and he struck a match as he en-
tered to see and the instant the match
was struck a terrific explosion en-
sued that was heard for a block away
The report caused some excitement
and crowd of peope rushed to the
place. John J. Steyle, the father of the
boy, found his boy lying some dis
lance away from the clubhouse in
which the explosion occurred. He was
still partially conscious, but badly
burned about the face, hair, hands and
body. The boy was carried to DR..
Rau's office, on Chapline street. where
his wounds We're dressed. While his
burns are severe they will not likely
prove serious.
The gas which exploded is supposed
TO have leaked from regulator of the
West Virginia Natural Gas Company,
near the building. and to have come
I'D through the vault of the clubhouse.
The force of the explosion blew up
the floor of the building. A second or
two after the first explosion second
one occurred and a large flame shot
IN from the building.

CHRISTIAN VOTERS
Called to Meet at the Y. M. G. A.
Tonight to Form a Citizenship
League---Object, the Publication of
Politics.

All the ministers of the city. togeth-
er with laymen selected by them, meet
at the I. NJ. c. A. building tonight at
eight O'Clock to complete the organiza-
ton OF the Christian Citizenship
League, auxiliary to the National
League, whose headquarters are in
Chicago
The object of this league is to lead
people to study the interests Of the city.
State and nation, also to take greater
interest in public affairs. 1t is there
fore educational in it's work. The
League is non-partisan, non-sectarian,
and asks no church or church organi-
cation, as such, to go into politics, but
1t does insist on every man studying
the best interests of his city, morally.
educationally and financially
said one of the promoters Yesterday.
1t was stated a few days ago that a
certain minister had expressed his OBJ
position to the movement because it
might prevent him from reaching GER
tain classes of people. Surely he has
not read the constitution and princi-
pies Of the League or he would not say
such a thing; on the other hand, the
workings of the League are bound to
help our city. our church. and our
business interests

DRAINING THE CELLARS.

Yesterday afternoon Chief Klieves
placed the Vigilant engine on Main
street in front of Kraft, Frank & Co. s
establishment, and started it to work
pumping out the water. Water in the
cellars on that side Of the street drain
ed in Kraft Frank & Co. s cellar. The
engine was kept at work all afternoon
and evening. Late in the afternoon
there was rather exciting incident,
which created considerable talk Mr..
F. HI. LANCE was anxious to have the
engine to work on the cellar in the
Hicks & Hoge building, corner Main
and Fourteenth streets. He secured a
permit from the chairman of the Fire
Committee and presented it to Chief
Kleives, asking him to transfer the en-
CINE to the Hicks & Hoge building. A
very lively argument followed and
considerable temper was displayed on
both sides.

ceSe included the whole State Of Vir-
glnla, as II was ante bellum.
.Blshop Whelan found in the western
half OF the State need for churches
and schools. even greater than in the
east, and Immediately upon his arrival
commenced erecting both. With great
difficulty he procured a small founda-
ton OF Visitation nuns from Baltimore
and secured for their use the house at
the corner of Fourteenth and Eoff
streets, now occupied nv the Sisters Of
st. Joseph. 1t did not then at all ap-
proach its present dimensions. but was
a large, comfortable private house, two
stories ana attic with wing on the
left running back two rooms-a small
beginning ror a convent and academy.
Entering large, Old-fashioned hall
from tne front door on Eoff Chen
Fifth street double parlors lay on the
left; OF these the one fronting Eoff
street constituted the sanctuary Of the
chapel and the choir for the sisters,
while the back room was the nave of
our little Basilica. The sisters, seven
or eight in number sat in chairs semi
circularly ranged on each side. Just
within the large folding doors, and the
pupils, only sixteen of them, had seats
in the straight rows on the other side.
On the right of the great hall, small
er one, at right angles. bisected the
space, the front room being the parlor
and the other the directress' room
The dormitory was over the whole
length of the chapel, and we used for
a play room the large hall upstairs,
which, between times, did service as a
class room. Other class rooms occu-
pied the second floor over the parlOr
and directress' room, the front one be-
ing also the studio; while in the base
ment were store room and refractory
and still other class rooms, for though
the boarders were few, the day school
was large. In the wing was mothers
cabinet, and the remainder Of the
building formed the monastery. The
basement contained kitchen and wash
house.
Very soon the school had outgrown
the force of teachers and from time to
time, as they could be furnished, mem
bers were sent to join the band. Among
these came three from Georgetown,
fine linguists. ripe scholars and one of
them a musician and vocalist of such
surprising gifts as to challenge the adj
miration of the distinguished maestros,
Strakosch and Thalberg. She had been
a pupil of Perelli, the first teacher Of
vocal music in Philadelphia and per-
haps in America, at that time, and ac-
quired from him not only the exquisite
finish in execution which distinguished
her, but the knowledge Of musical sci
ence and power of communicating it
which made her facile princeps among
teachers and a maker of teachers after

The Wheeling friends of Major and
Mrs. J. Wise Norton, formerly OF
Wheeling, but now residing in Brook
Ign, will regret to learn that their
daughter, Miss Louise, chatting under
parental restrictions, left her home
late at night, and that the incident has
been published in sensational form
in the New York papers. From the
World article, the following is taken:
Miss Louise Norton, a young woman
of twentyfour, living with her par
ents at No. 49S Second street, on the
Park Slope Of Brooklyn, stole away
from her home before dawn last
Tuesday and has been in hiding ever
since.
For some time there have been
strained relations in the family. The
father, John w. Norton, a member of
the United States Leather Company,
of No. % Ferry street. Manhattan, has
very pronounced opinions regarding
young men, and Louise has chafed I'M
der the restraints he imposed.
Several times the young girl has
tried to find a place as lady's compan-
ion, and has often declared that at the
first opportunity she would leave home
and be self-supporting. Her mother,
who is an invalid, has begged her re-
peatedly not to do anything desper-
ate, and for her sake the young woman
has remained at home.
But Monday night there came a cri-
sis. 1t was Louise's birthday 1t was
also the birthday of her younger sis
ter, Lille. To celebrate the day the
father offered to take the girls to the
theatre. But Louise refused to go
with him, saying she had previous
engagement with Clarence Rupp, a
young man living at No. 116 Lincoln
Place.
Mr.. Norton reached home long be-
fore his daughter. He chafed at her
delay, and when she came in, near
midnight, an unpleasant scene is said
to have taken place between father and
daughter. The girl went to her room
in tears. She was heard to close and
lock the door, and then the household
settled down to sleep.
In the morning Louise was gone
Her bed had not been slept in. The
bureau drawers had been rifled of
their valuables. All her iewelry was
gone and many of her prettiest arti-
cles of clothing. She had left no let
ter to indicate her purpose, but her
strange going away. coupled with the
many threats she had made, all point
ed to one conclusion. She had gone
away to escape the espionage which
was so distasteful to her
The girls mother was Frustrated
by the shock of the discovery that her
daughter had fed. She took to her
bed and last night was in a precarious
condition. The father searched high
and low for her. He called at the
houses of her friends. But not one of
them could give him any clue as to
his daughters whereabouts On Wed
nesday letter came from Louise.
Don't try to find me-" she wrote,
for that would be useless
Clarence Rupp. the young man who
was the innocent cause of the scolding
which piqued Miss Norton, said yes
terday that her disappearance was
as great a surprise to him as TO anv
one else. The Nortons do not blame
young Rupp.

All B. & O. trains were on time
yesterday, or approximately SO, except
through trains from the west. The
western trains were all about three
hours late. The delay was caused
by the washing away OF bridges III

tracks OF another railroad, between
GAINESVILLE and Mt Vernon.
Passengers on trains arriving in this
city yesterday, stated that the round
about course causes the entire delay,
and that there is no prospect OF a
a better condition of affairs for several

A BANK CORNER
Brewer & Co. May Re.
main at the Old Stand.
IN That Case Bank Of Hawaii. Ltd.
viii 60 Into New Judd Build.
ing-This q Recent Plan.

The prospects are that the intersec-
ton OF Fort and Merchant streets will
have a bank corner. This will be in
the new Judd building, four stories.
and the only structure OF its class be-
tween San Francisco and sydney. The
situation Is that IL Brewer & Co, re-
main in Queen street, which is the
plan of the concern now, the Bank OF
Hawaii, Ltd, will take the corner in
the Judd building. This conclusion was
reached but few days ago and 1t is
understood that Chas. NJ. Cooke was
the mover for the change. When the
Judd building was projected 1t was CIV
en- out that the corner would be taken
by the pioneer shipping firm and plan
tation agency. The land upon which
the house of Brewer & Co. is located
belongs to the Government and the
fact that the lease Is to be again made
or sold is being advertised. II Is not
anticipated that there will be any pro-
hibitive or even sharp bidding against
Brewer 4 Co., as they have long occu-
pied the ground and are willing TO pay
a fair rental for 1t. They will, II they
secure the lease, improve considerably
the place at once.
The Judd building corner will make
a splendid location for the bank of Ha-
wall. Work on the block, under the
direction of Contractor Fred Harrison
and Architect Trdphagen, is now being
pushed. The foundation was CON-
pleted some weeks ago. Much of the
material for the supers,ructure is on
the ground and the Roman Brick pi-
lasters are already in the air.

The REGULARS,

Companies f and F, regulars, will
continue for the present on active duty.
This may mean until the Commission
completes its labors or longer. 1t Is
expected that the companies will, in
the meantime, dwindle down gradually
until there will be few left anyway at
the windup. No new enlistments will
be made. There are now only % men
in Company E and 80 in Company F,
weeks.

of appliances Is one e,ectric locomo-
tive, fifty horsepower and capable of
being worked up to seventy-fiye horse

road in the Islands and the use OF the
system for plantation requirements
will be watched with special interest.

From Joe Marsden.

At last Joe Marsden has been heard
from. Wray Taylor received letter
from him by the Mariposa. He has
not been eaten by the Spaniards nor
has he yet arrived in Europe. For
several week the genial ex-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture has been sight
seeing and fishing in Yellowstone
Park. He was accompanied by friends
and had an immense time. The letter
was written in the East and mailed
at New York. Mr.. Marsden stated that
he expected to sail shortly for Europe.
His health is much improved.
