WILL DISCUSS THE REPORT.
Board of Education Will Meet This
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
The Board of Education will meet at 4
O'Clock this afternoon for the purpose
of considering the report of its committee
appointed TO confer with similar COM
mittee from the trustees of the Chatham
Academy. and TO decide what further
steps, if any, shall be taken.
The report, which was published in yes
terdays Morning News, and relates the
inability of the joint committee of the
two bodies to reach any agreement as to
plan for rebuilding the Chatham Acad-
envy, was widely read and excited gem
eral interest. 1t is now seven months
since the academy building was DESTROYED
by fire, and the public has been growing
more and more impatient for the last
three months, because no visible steps
were taken for replacing the academy.
The report of the Committee of the Boa
of Education assigns the reasons for this
remarkab BILE dilatoriness, as viewed by the
members of that committee. The report
OF the Trustees Committee will doubtless
put the matter in a different light.
Capt. H. c. Cunningham, chairman of
the Building Committee of the Trustees
was asked If he had any reply or COM
ment TO make upon abe Education Com
mittee's report. He said that he did not
care to discuss the matter in any wise at
present. The report of the Trustees Com
mittee, when made, he said, will embodv
The views of himself and his fellow mem
bers.

THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW.
William Brown Found Twas a Mean
Thing 10 IrrI1nte.

Joe Brown was tried and found guilty
of the offense of burglary in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday. the jury recommend
ing that he be punished as for a msde-
meanor. and further recommending him 40
the mercy of the court. Judge Falligant
imposed a fine of 500 and costs, with
the alternative of twelve months on the
county changing.
In connection with the trial of this case,
occurred humorous incident. such one
as sometimes relieves the judicial gravity
and decorum of the court. in which an in
dividuel of the defendants name figured.
When court convened the case was set
for O'clock, and William B. Brown, the
negro whose house had been entered, and
the prosecuting witness in the case. was
solemnly adjured to be present promptly
at the appointed hour. Brown gave an
equally solemn promise that he would be
on hand
AT l O'clock Solicitor General Osborne
and Mr.. Charles V. Hohenstein. who rep
resented the defendant, struck the jury,
its members were sworn to try the case
and everything was in readiness to pro-
coed with the hearing, except that the
prosecuting witness did not appear. OFF,
GERS were sent out hastily in every direc-
ton, but he could not be found. As his
presence was necessary Judge Falligant
directed a recess until o'clock, and the
jury was relieved until that hour.
AT 1880 o'clock as Judge Felligant was
awaiting the agreement of a jury in an
other case, Brown stalked eolemny into
the court room, followed by a bailiff.
Gravity was written deep upon his black
countenance, and if he had ever heard
even the flag end of a joke or ever eX-
pected to pull through the slough of des-
pond into which he seemed to be plunged,
he gave no outward and visible sign. He
was very, very sad
Come up here, Brown said the solic-
itor general, land tell the judge what you
mean by not being in court when you were
told 10 be here"
The witness took a few reluctant steps
in the direction of the judges rostrum
and paused. He opened a cavernous
mouth and after a few unsuccessful at
tempts to speak began:
Use here. jedge."
Judge Falligant looked the awful expo
nent of the outraged majesty of the law.
as he peered over his glasses at the Gull
prit.
''Who gave you permission to leave the
court room, Brown" he queried, in i'm
pressive accents.
lone of de officers told me could go If
I come back at 1 o'clock, and" began
the witness. mildly, when the court again
interrupted
We'll it's half past one now, and the
regular charge for oversights such as
yours is a dollar a minute. That would
be $50, but I'll let you off with So
''Oh, my Cod said Brown, in an awed
and trembling whisper, and was led away
into the sheriff's office. Later Judge Fall
ligant relented. directing that Browns
fine be RENTED 1t is a safe ten-to-one
shot that in the future when Brown is
a witness, he will not only be on hand
when he is summoned, but from half to
three-quarters of an hour before that
time.

PART OF A JOKE ON THE JOKER
An Isle of Hope Young Mans Fun
With Negroes and Naphtha.


With Negroes and Nnphtha.
There was a flash of light along the
marshes opposite Isle of Hope Tuesday
night that alarmed many people, who
thought one of the naphtha launches that
run about on the river had exploded. 1t
developed, however, that it was only a
well-known young gentleman trying to
have some fun at the expense of a couple
of negro boys, which resulted IN him
self, as we'll as the boys having to jump
overheard.
The young man pumped the debris out
of the tank of his naphtha launch, and
not wishing to throw it overheard near
the bluff, started to take it over to the
marsh and have a little fun.
The gasoline was put in a couple of
buckets and carried over In a boat, and
in going over the rocking upset some of it
in the bottom This fact was unknown to
the gentleman, who threw over the con-
tents of one bucket and struck a match
to set it on fire Instead of setting the
river on fire." he started a fire in the
boat
As the flames shot up the smaller of
the negro boys jumped overheard and the
other started for the bow, which caused
the burning fluid to settle that way. The
young man was much amused at the sit
uation, but as the flames got hot the man
in the bow plunged overheard, and then
the balance was the other way, and the
flames, following the bilge water. ran to
the stern, and the gentleman who had
been enjoying the sport had to jump into
the river himself to avoid the flames. A
boat from shore rescued the party, and
those who were watching what was
thought to have been dreadful accident
were glad to find that it was only prac-
teal joke, in which the joker had a lot
of fun and a good wetting, besides.
