airy pork closed 25c higher, October lard
closed clos /, soc higher, January 22Ae higher
wheat closed 1c higher. December wheat
1c higher, corn 1Bc higher and oats 40
&c higher.
Wheat was strong and higher with
good trading. Steady cables and good
commission house buying was responsible
for the upturn. Another rallying feature
was the fact that many traders had an
ticipated a drop in prices when the Sep
TENDER deal was closed up and had sold
short accordingly. The drop failed to ma
te1iallze, however. and instead Of OF weak
market, there was a strong feeling preVa-
lent and buying was Of better character
than for some time.

and appeared against the prisoner at
the preliminary examination.
Jackson and Watson were proprie-
tors, or at the head, of rival clubs and
it was said that because of this fact
a certain amount of jealousy existed.
Watson had charged a negro named
Willie Eady. who was a hanger-on at
Jackson's place, with the theft of
large sum of money and this was the
starting point of the trouble that ter
minated with the homicide. Jackson,
Eady and another negro went to Wat
sons place on the morning of the kill
ing and a dispute arose.
Later Watson. a negro friend, and
Patrolman T. j. Farrell went to
Jackson's house in Minis Court and
the fusilade of bullets followed. Pa
trolman Farrell and Watson claim
that the first shot was fired by Jack
son and that not until he had used
his pistol did Watson draw his weap-
on. Jackson swore positively that
Watson began the firing and that he
made no effort to shoot until several
bullets had been fired at him. The
negro made the same statement to
representative of the Morning News
on the day of the homicide and was
positive in all of his contentious. His
statement was clear and concise and
made favorable impressions upon the
Recorder. The negro's statement that
Watson began the shooting was borne
out by other witnesses.
Detective Murphy, who arrived on
the scene before the smoke had clear
ed away, testified and in the opinion
of the Recorder a particularly nasty"
case was presented. The prisoner
made no statement, acting under ad-
vice of counsel He was represented
at the hearing by Robert L. Colding,
Esq, and was committed to jail by the
Recorder. The contention of the de-
Tense, backed up by medical expert
testimony, will be that a bullet from
Watsons pistol could not have killed
Robinson because of the location of
the wound

MAY HEAR TEACHERS.
Col. Mercer Thinks 1t Possible
school Board May Do So.


Col. George A. Mercer, president of
the Board of Education. inclines to the
opinion that the board will decide to
hear the three teachers who were not
reelected at the last meeting of the
board A meeting will be held Friday
afternoon. as announced in the Morn
ing News, for the consideration of the
petitions that have been received for
the Reinstatement of the teachers.
"A precedent has been established"
said Col. Mercer. LAS the board heard
a teacher under circumstances in
which an adverse report had been
made by principal, suppose a hear
ing will be given the three teachers
who were not reelected.
"A great many of the friends and re-
lations of the three ladies have called
to see me in their interest. do not
know what the outcome of it all will
be. One teacher has secured state
ments of a number of the children she
taught to disprove the report of the
principal that she was of too strong a
temper to be in the school, but some
others have not given their testimony
in her favor.
II said to the father of this lady
that, If the report made of her was
true. she was not suited for teaching;
and that, on the other hand, if the re-
port was untrue, the principal making
it was not the man for the position he
fills. do not, however, approve a sys-
TEN of appeals to children in the
event of disagreement between a prin-
cipal and one of his teachers. No prin-
cipal should be left in the position of
having his actions left to the judg-
ment of the children"

FOR UGLY CRIMES.
Two Out of Three Charged With At
tempted Assault Got OF.


Three cases in which the defendants
were indicted for assault with intent
to rape were called in the Superior
Court yesterday and two were disposed
of in short order.
The case against Henry Treville, in
dicted for an attempted assault upon
Annie Jenkins, was nolle pressed at the
request of the prosecutrix. The wo-
mans statement was a rather eXtraor-
binary one and she said that she felt
certain that no crime had been COM
mitted and that the prisoner was not
guilty of the offense charged in the in
dictment.
James DeChrist, a white lad residing
at Thunderbolt, was found not guilty
by a Jury. The crime was alleged to
have been committed near Thunderbolt
and the prosecutrix was a bright little
girl of ten years. When the case was
called for trial Judge Barrow deemed it
wise to have the court room cleared
and only those actually engaged in the
trial of the case were permitted to hear
the testimony.
The case against Charles Mitchell
was begun shortly before the adjourn
ment and will he concluded this morn
ing. Victoria Smith, a young colored
girl is the alleged victim of the negro
and the crime is said to have been
committed on May when the child's
mother was away from home. The
prisoner denies his guilt. He is repre-
scented by Raiford Falligant, Esq, who
also appeared for DeChrist
