PATR0LMAN LOCKED IN.
Broken Lock on Hurry-Up Wagon
Kept Him "A Prisoner.

Broken Lock on Hurry-Up Wagon
Kept Him "A Prisoner.
Joe Kelly, sallyport man at the bar
racks, had rather peculiar experience
yesterday afternoon and for a time
knew what it feels to be a prisoner in
the 'hurryup" wagon.
call was received for the wagon
from Waldburg and West Broad
streets and the trip was made, Kelly.
as usual, sitting inside with the doors
closed. The rear door to the wagon,
which is the only means of exit closes
with a spring lock and this lock, when
Kelly attempted to open the door,
broke.
The sally-port man fumbled and
fumed with the door, but there was
nothing doing in the opining line, and
so the neighborheod was secured for
screw drivers, monkey wrenches and
other tools with which to let Kelly out
and the prisoner in. Finally, after
nearly an hours work, this was accom-
plished. "
Kelly, who is-well, say plump, was
pretty warm when he came out and
considerably agitated for fear the
newspapers would get hold of the story,
SO much so that he tried to block it
off, but it leaked out just the same.

Total attendance white and col.

Oi6u QUA
The total attendance in the white
schools will probably be largely in
creased in the course of the next few
days. AS before announced it is be-
lieved there will be no difficulty in
finding places for all on the list, with
the possible exception of some of those
pupils who desire admittance to the
third grades. These are somewhat
congested. and it is possible that new
third grade will have to be added to
the school Accommodations.
This morning Supt. Ashmore will
dispatch to the homes of large num-
Der of those on the waiting lists cards
of admission to the schools they desire
to attend These cards will be sent
by the janitors of the several schools,
and will materially reduce the size of
the list. The waiting lists of St. Pat
rick's and Anderson street schools will
be cleared. 1t is desired that children
receiving the cards present themselves
in school at once.
Supt. Ashmore is gratified by the
manner in which the fall term of the
schools has opened. There was an en-
tire lack of friction in any department
of any of the schools, and prospects
for o successful year were never more
encouraging.
