The Flight Of the Fearless.

Bob Brown, commonly known
among the inhabitants of EbOnville
as Uncle Bob" was considered fear
less. No one was skeptical regarding
his fearlessness nor dared harbor the
least suspicion as to his being super
stitiOus. If, like most of his dusky
brethren. he "ruther not" begin a jou
on a Friday, the invariable cause was
physical incapacity rather than su.
perstitious fear. If. perchance, during
his nocturnal perambulations myriad
phantoms darted about his pathway
as he neared the village cemetery, he
would approach the hideous spectre.

to reach home.
II was not surprising. then, that
when the new hospital desired .
strong orderly for night duty in the
two male wards, he alone volunteered
to accept the position. while the tim
idity of his fellows permitted them
only to pass the frowning institution
at a safe distance and with much
trepidauon.
When the first month ended Uncle
Bob" was pretty well initiated into
the mysteries of the hospital. Fer
weeks he had astonished his dusky
auditors with wild and weird stories
of his triumphs in the wards, opera
ting room and morgue of the institu-
ton; never failing to impress them
with the fact that it would be impos.
sible to run the institution without his
services. He was indeed the most
fearless man in Ebonville, and was re-
garded by his peers with "supersti.
tious reverence"
1t was midnight. The stiffness Of
the hour was only broken by the soft
tread of the nurses on their period

patients, smoked away upon his old

POLICE COURT DoINGS
Bound Over to Superior Court Under
Bonds OF $500.


A young man named Jack" Cavan-
agh, nicknamed Reckless" was bound
over to the superior court to-day by
Judge Peasley in the city court for
theft of So from the person Of his
friend, John j. Callahan. Cavanagh
lives on Stone street and Callahan is
telegraph operator out of employ
ment. He said his home is in Chat
ham, n. T., but later he said 1t was
on West Fifty-ffth street, New York.
He looked sadly the worse for wear
after the night. 1t seems he had been
drinking last night and towards mid
night began to bethink himself of
place TO lay his head. Then he ran up
against Cavanagh, who preached to
him the idea of taking a drive. Cal
laghan did not consent, but he did go
to Betz's livery stable, and when the
horse was hitched up Cavanagh went
through his pockets. took So and drove
away Cavanagh's side Of the story is
as follows: Last night met the guy
and he wanted to take ride. We'd
been drinking some. He said he'd 90
halves in a team, and we went to
Bets. When the horse was hooked
up the guy backed out. SO went
through him and took So. That's all
there is to IT." Cavanagh's manner on
the stand would have gone against him
had there been no other evidence. He
was bound over to the next term OF
the superior court under bond Of
$500.
Edward Nugent was fined SIS and
costs for intoxication, and r..r S,'.ss'-.
was let off ON his promise to do better.
He has been drinking more than is
| good for him Of late.
Henry Williams, colored. hailing
from Philadelphia, was charged with
theft of a harness from Eugene Rom
ley's barn in Mill Plain. The harness
/ was worth $12. Williams said he
found it on the WATERFOWL road. He
tried to sell it to John Olens, employed
/ at Remnants stable on North Main
street, and O1ens would have bought
| it. but was advised against doing so.
Williams was given thirty days in Jail
and fined 81 and costs.

BOARD or EDUCATION
Special Meeting to Consider Estimates
for the Coming Year.

AT the special meeting of the board
of education held last evening for the
purpose of considering the estimates
for the ensuing year. many new ideas
of education were discussed. The full
board was present and Mayor Kilduff
presided. Commissioner Russell ad-
vocated evening schools for the Brook
lyn district, claiming that those who
would be benefited by them do not
have the time to attend, as at present
they are too far off. Superintendent
Tinker did not endorse this PLAN He
said it had been tried elsewhere and
had proved failure. Mr. Tinker re-
commended the appointment of III. s.
! Allison as teacher of physics in the
High school at a salary of. $500 year,
and it was voted to engage him.
The expected annual increase in
school attendance. next year was dis
cussed to quite an extent. 1t was
agreed that the attendance would be
about 400.
1t was estimated that hereafter it
would be better for the schools to
supply pupils with writing pads. This
idea was suggested by Commissioner
Goodenough and it was carried. Fuel
and light will cost about 1000 and
the Mulcahy school about $43, 600 A,
committee was appointed to ascertain
the price Of land adjoining the briggs
school and make provisions for the flu
ture, if the price is favorable. The
heating systems of many of the school
buildings were discussed, but no defin-
lite action was taken The evenings
work may be summed up in the fol
lowing estimates:
