FINDS ANOLD SCHOOL
Frencflman's Search of Baby.
Ionian Ruins Rewarded.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The details have
reached London of an interesting dis
covery amid the ruins of the Babylo-
man town Of Scippara. Father Schiel,
the French archaeologist, has unearth-
ed a perfect schoolroom, with mate
rials for writing and instruction. Les
sons were taught and learned In his
Babylonian schoolroom nearly 1000
years ago, much like today. Where
Scippara once stood is now only a
mound Of earth covered with pots
herds. Beneath the surface Father
Sch1el found bits of walls and rem
nanrs OF houses and public buildings.
The most interesting find was the
schools, located in a house opposite the
temple Clay tablets, the predecessors
of modern States, were abundant One
tablet bore this inscription: HE who
distinguishes himself in the school of
writing will shine even as the sum-"
The schoolhouse contained seven
rooms, one filled with clay tablets. ar
ranged in regular order. Most of the
tablets being unbaked the inscriptions
have become undecipherable. Many
OF the tablets, however, were in as per-
feet condition as when they were laid
aside forty centuries ago by childish
Babylonian hands. Some of the tab
let's contained hymns in the oldest
Sumerian, namely, the pre- Semitic Tu-
ranian language Of Babylonia. Others
contained primers, dictionaries and
arithmetic problems. Some Of the tab
let's had served as copybooks, as was
proved by the beautiful clearness of
the letters. They were used as class
exercises, for on several tablets could
be seen how pupils had scratched out
FAULTY writing and smoothed the clay
over again with stylus.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-After a cam
paign in which there were united
against him nearly all Of the newspa-
pers and almost every preacher in New
York city, George B. Mcclellan, son of
the Civil war general, was today elected
mayor of Greater New York over Seth
Low, Fusionist, the present mayor, by
a plurality of 81, Ala.
Edward M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Charles v. Fornes presi-
dent of the board of aldermen. These
two men were originally on the Fusion
ticket and were indorsed by Tammany,
whereupon the fusionists took their
names from the Low ballots and nom
mated other candidates. It was the
nomination of Grout and Fornes by
Tammany that caused Hugh McLaugh-
lin, veteran leader Of the Kings County
Democracy, to bolt and declare that he
would not support men who were not
Democrats. In spite Of his detection,
however, Mcclellan, Grout and Fornes
carried Kings county. The management
of their campaign there was taken over
by State Senator Patrick H McCarren
when Mclaughlin refused his aid A
surprise was the low vote for William
s, Devery, formerly chief Of police.
Vast Change of Sentiment.
This result shows q tremendous
change Of public sentiment since May
or Lows election two years ago, when
he won by 31,632. At that rate he car
ried all the boroughs but one, his plu-
rality in Manhattan and the Bronx be-
ing 1868, in Brooklyn 25,767, and in
Richmond 1853. In Queens, Shepard,
Democrat, had plurality Of sci.
Today Mcclellan carried Manhattan
and the Bronx by about $4,000, a gain
of $4,000; Brooklyn by about 5000,
gain of $1,000, and Queens by about
5000, a gain Of more than 1000. This
makes a total net gain for Mcclellan of
about 100000, as compared with Shep-
ards vote of two years ago. Low car
ried only one borough, Richmond, by
about 200 votes.
The result was known early and at
S:15 o'clock Mayor Low sent telegram
of congratulation to Col. Mcclellan.
Il congratulate you on your election.
If can be Of service to you, pray COM
mand me-"
The mayor then said: IT think that
telegram sums up all that have to
say tonight"
