 Europe this evening, the committee on l teachers and nominations will have to do the work that was scheduled to have been-done at an adjourned meet
 inc. of the board of education last l evening" The principal work is the selection of q number of teachers for new places in the Mulcahy school and the Bishop street school and to succeed

 appointments or make such arrange ments that will stand until the perna- nent appointments shall be made. 1t has long been a mystery to court
 officials how idle men, men who had
 not worked in months got drunk. But this morning the mystery was cleared
 and proved that people do really get
 something for nothing, In the wet goods line at least, if in no other line of business The prisoner in question I had been out of work for about year.. The presumption, therefore, was that
 he had no money during a great part of that time and that he therefore could not have got intoxicated unless
 he borrowed or got on tick" But
 this man said he did neither. He ad-
 mitted having no money. He admit | ted being out of work for a long time. Then how did you get your drink if you had no money? he was asked. The 1 question seemed Atog q tickle him. 1 Where do I get drink?'' he said, ''why you can get all the drink you want 1 anywhere and for nothing." l 1 An extra southbound freight which left this city last night in charge of 1 Conductor Munson had q mishap near Platts Mills resulting in the derailing
 of two cars and slightly injuring Con- | ductor Munson and Brakeman Barnes
 of Watertown. Shortly after leaving
 the station coupling got going wrong
 and the train parted in two sections. 1 Things went along all right, the red 1 flag was hoisted and the engineer came
 to a standstill as quickly as possible.
 This gave the rear section chance to
 catch up and it came on with a rush
 and crashed into the first section with
 sufficient force to derail the cars. The
 conductor and Brakeman Barnes were
 tossed off and received some bruises
 about the head and face. The reason
 for hoisting the red flag was So avoid
 collision with another train which
 was in the way A force of men soon appeared on the scene and kept hust-
 ling until the track was cleared.
