NO QUORUM.
Consequently the Board of School Trus-
tees Had to Adjourn.

tecs hau TO tiu.Iouih'
School Trustee Burke is in the legis
lature, Trustee Mcdonald has gone to
California. Trustee Clinton is in Hell
ena and Trustee Morgan does not at
tend meetings. That being the case,
there were only three members in at
tendance last night at the regular
meeting of the board Of education,
Chairman Long. Trustees Lane and Do
rails. No quorum being obtalnable the
meeting adjourned until tomorrow
night.
Clerk Thomas Richards was present
for the first time since he had the mis-
fortune to break his leg at Meaderville
three or four weeks ago. He naVlgates
very gracefully with the AID or crutch-
es. There We're two or three matters
scheduled to come before the meeting,
among them being the Passmore suit
and Principal Dales case. wherein he is
accused by a lady Of misconduct.
The board met as a committee of the
whole last Saturday to consider the
Passmore matter and Sunday to look
into Dale's case. 1t is understood that
no compromise was effected in the case
of PaSSmore & Co. who sues the dis
trict for money alleged to be due for
work performed on the High school
building. 1t is also understood mat
Principal Dale will be wholly vindi-
Gated. Superintendent Hendricks has
prepared his report, which shows a
marked increase in enrolment. There
is little or no sickness among the pupils
and those who have been attacked by
the grip are all able to attend school
again. The higher grade rooms are
crowded, and where 10 put all the pu-
pills is a study which occupies good
portion of the superintendent's time.
Trustee Lane was not in favor of ad-
journing to Thursday night, as he said
he had an important date to fill on that
evening. Chairman Long would not
listen to the proposition to fix the time
for tonight, as he declared that he
would not miss the opportunity pre-
sented to see Uncle Tom for the ninth
time. Trustee Dorais would rather not
adjourn at all. but readily consented to
the action of the majority.

Blizzard Still RACES.

New York, Feb 14.--The blizzard has
completely paralyzed shipping. The last
vessel to arrive here was the Ward liner
Cienfuegos. from Cuba, which came up
to her dock early Sunday evening. At
midnight last night the maritime lookout
at Sandy Hook reported that furious
gale was coming out of the northwest and
that there was no cessation in the heavy
fall of binding snow. The weather was
SO thick that if any of the larger fleet of
passenger liners of other ocean steamers
now several days overdue had succeeded
in crawling up to an anchorage near the
bar they could not have been made out.

TO VEIL THE TRUTH.
DIR. Conner Alleges That the Commission
LabOred Honestly

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 14.-Dr P. A.
Conner, after long service on the war
investigation committee, returned to
his home here and was complimented
by dinner at the Grand hotel to-
night by his friends and neighbors. The
doctor spoke freely of the work Of the
investigation committee, which he said
had been assailed from the beginning
as one created to veil the truth. He de-
clared that the commission labored
earnestly to find and to declare the
truth. It's work. he said, would have
been closed much sooner but for the
remarkable charges promulgated by
the commanding general in his state
ment before the commission.
Judge w. H. Taft of the United
States court also spoke and caused a
sensation by saying he had hoped the
United States would only have Cuba
to take care of, and was sorry other
burdens had been entailed. He took
comfort, however, in the belief that
Brother Jonathan was sensible char
acter and that if he found that he had
done wrong he would be willing to cor
rect it. even if 1t involved hauling down
the flag where it had been raised by
mistake.

THREE SUITS ORDINANCES
Growing Out of the Collapse of
. the York Building.
SUPPORTS NOT BIG ENOUGH
One of the Actions Brought Against
the Owner by James A. Myers,
Who Was Injured When
the Building Fell.

Three suits for damages. aggregatinS
s17,500. growing out of the collapse of
the York block on West Park street
on the 18th of last September, were
yesterday brought in the district court
against Joseph E. Oppenheimer, the
owner of the building. One of the ac-
tions is by James A Myers, who says
in his complaint that the defendant was
the owner of the block at the time re-
ferred to and was engaged in changing
and reconstructing the building SO as
to make a larger room for retail mer-
camille business. In order to make the
changes required for such purpose it
was necessary to remove the partition
extending lengthwise of the building,
in the center of the first story, which
was the support of the central portion
of the structure. In removing the par
tition and to support the weight of the
building in the center pine posts four
inches square were put under the
joists of the second story with one end
against a piece of timbering extend
ing along the under side of
the joists, and the other end
standing on a piece of timber lying
on the floor of the first story Many

rested We're spliced, and We're not of

the defendant as superintendent and
foreman to direct the manner in which
the building should be changed and re-
constructed and did superintend, direct
and order the way the work should be
done, and the changes that should be
made, and had charge of the employ
ment for the defendant of the carpen-
tiers who were working in and about
the building.
The defendant knew. or should have
known. that the joists for the second
floor of the building would not support
the great weight resting thereon, with
out being properly supported and knew,
or should have known, that in taking
and tearing away portions of the build

avoid any injury to the employees who
were working around the building. On

weight to break and bend the joists so
that the building fell in and thereby
caused the front wall to fall, carrying
the plaintiff with it. The falling Of
the building, caused by the careless
ness and negligence on the part of the
defendant. was so quick that the PLAIN
tiff could not get away, but was pre-
cipitated to the basement a distance
of two stories, and among the pieces
of broken timber and other debris.
Myers says that by the fall the flesh
was torn open to the bone and the
membrane was scraped off the bone OF
his left knee down the leg for eight
inches; the right side of his head was
cut open; his back was hurt: his right
hip and right side were badly injured
and bruised: his right leg was bruised
and smashed; his nervous system was
injured and he was knocked senseless.
He suffered great pain and was c2ntin-
ed to his bed for many weeks, and
claims to be permanently injured and
that his nervous system is greatly i'm
paired, for which he demands $4,000
as damages.
John Zelmer, another man who was
employed on the second floor at the
time the building collapsed, says he
was also thrown into the cellar and
that the right side of his face was torn
open to the bone, which leaves a great
scar and Disagreement of his face and
affects his speech, and he is thereby
permanently injured: the third finger
Of his right hand was injured so that
the joints are partially stiff and the
fingers are numb; his right shoulder
was wrenched. bruised and injured and
is still affected: his right hip, leg and
knee We're injured and are still weak
and affected: his right arm was mashed
and permanently injured, partly par
alyzed and is very weak and withered
from the effects of the fall: his ner
vous system is affected from the shock
he received and he still suffers from the
effects of the injuries he received. He
demands $1,000.
NJ. H. Shadinger wants $500 for the
injuries he received by being thrown
from the second story into the base
ment. He escaped with a cash over
his left temple, a sprain of his hands,
skinned legs from the knees to the
ankles, an injury to his back and
shock to his nervous system.

plaintiffs.

ling of Miles City was arrested last
evening on board the Northern Pacific
train at Seattle, on a charge of alb
Quoting his three little daughters from
the Mission Home, where their mother
placed them. The charge is preferred
by Mrs. Bowling, who says she would
rather be in the penitentiary for life
than that he should have the children.

be their custodian. The children involv-
ed are Laurel. aged 10; Rosetta, aged I,
and Eva, aged 4, all bright and pretty.

decide tomorrow which parent is en-
titled to them.

a year to get possession of his children
without appearing against his wife in
court. He says she left Miles City
with them in January, 1885, since when
he has made three trips to Seattle to
secure them. His first attempt was in
February last year. His wife had the
children hidden and he got no trace of
them. He came about Christmas, but
his wife would not listen to him. al
though he offered to build her house
if she would return to Montana with
the children. He has been contributing
toward the children's support and yes
terday was allowed to take them away
by Mrs. Ryther, who conducts the Mis-
sion Home. Mrs. Bowling heard Of the
matter and Immediately secured a war
rant. She says she married Bowling
10 years ago and has borne him ten
children, only three of whom are living.
She alleges cruelty; that Bowling has
knocked her insensble, and that he was
fined in Miles City for assaulting her.
