 communication was received from inc pavement commission concerning the order for the pavement of River street with brick approved by Mayor Driscoll in April, 1901. The communi- cation stated that before the work of having the street was proceeded with attention should be called to the fact that there was no sewer in the street and that the Manufacturers Street Railway company under power given by the legislature was about to alter it's tracks and that the order ought to be revoked or it's carrying out delayed un- iii the sewer is built, curbs laid and , the tracks aitereu
 Alderman J. J. Walsh moved that the communication be tabled He said that this order had been passed by the common council and he could see no mason why it should be revoked. He said: Ut strikes me that the pave ment commission is not satisfied with the material ordered by the court of common council and if the commission can get the order rescinded they will order some other material, The com mon council has said what the material should be and I don't know why the commission should come now and carry out their ideas and their orders, This talk of sewers, curbs, etc, is only a subterfuge All they want is to get power to do as they see fit.

MURDER IN BRIDGEPORT.

Morphine Fiend Shoots a Fellow Workman.
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, August 5.-At the fac tory of the Wheeler X Wilson Manufactur- ing company early this morning, James Baker, an employc, shot in the groin and probably fatally injured fellow workman, Thomas Roland. The injured man was taken to the hospital where he is lying in a precarious condition. The only cause for this shooting known is the fact that Baker, who is morphine fiend. has been jealous for some time over fancied advantagess pos, sessed by fellow employees, and has said several times that he would ''get even' with some one. This morning, without word of warning, he suddenly drew re. volver and fired point blank at Roland. He was seized by the men before he could fire another shot and disarmed. He is now locked up, to await the result of his vic tin's iniurios,

A SCHOOL IN THE SOU El1t'RN
 Mountains.
 We pass one-room log cabins with the stick and dirt chimney on the outside. Much of the way lies through the pine woods, with here and there cotton or cornfield to be seen. After havlrS stopped once or twice to tie up tnH harness. we reach log school h"lla- ing, 2Ox25 feet, standing back from the road about fifty yards. This str 'ctufe cC uld not have cost over S30 As we ap- proach, three or four "ralo'- Hek hoes run out from under the mouse erunting and disapear into the Woods. We knock at the open door, ana a young man comes out to greeS us ana invite us in. This is the "ofolessor
 vho introduces us to his pupils There gre about forty toys and glrls, oI all ages, sitting upon benches Wlsh ho hf tks. All rise, and remain stanaItS while we are introduced to the School.
 Seats are found for us, and we sit Cown. The teaches goes on with his recitation. As the pupils have no desks tho books are put on the floor when not in use, But they are very scarce com mmOUlIY, SUIlle Cllllui cil i.D~' V AAN''N' others have one or two, and few haV' thlee. We see no maps, there are no reference books of any kind belonging to the school and only one small black- board, 3x4 feet, which is furnished py the patrons of the school. When pox of chalk is needed, the pupils are re- ouired to contribute sufficient money to meet the expense. They do the jani' tor work. and gather the wood for the fire in winter. The great flrepiace, large and enough to take in four-foot sticks. can scarcely warm the room Ill the coldest weather, for there are cracks and chinks In floor, walls ana roof. Through these openings not only inc cold comes in winter but the snakes in summer. The teacher tells us that he had five of these unwelcome visitors rone day. Some climbed up the chim- ney, made of sticks laid clubhouse fash ion and chinked with mud, and came in through holes in the roof; others came up the steps and entered the doof' We examine the children more close- I ly. and see that, while most of ther1 l are out at knee and elbow, many or i them have bright and intelligent faces. i The teacher has attended one Of the | American Missionary Assoclaftoii schools and shows that he Is capable 1 of teaching his pupils great deal, al though it will not do to compare ms educational qualifications with those of l teachers that we find In more favored 1 communities. But we cannot fail to admire his perseverance and his will | ingness to work, when we learn that he teaches from o'clock in the morn- ing until o'clock, and sometimes until and even at night, with only an hour and a half intermisslon; and he does this for the munificent salary of $15 a month, $5 of which must be paid for board. And he Is oblige1
 to wait for his money, oftentimes for
 months after his years work Of five
 months is done.-Prof Burrage in American Missionary.
