with the Milton colored school. Their
appears to have been a division anon
the people and committee; and by mis-
representation the Superintendent wa
led into the dispute. Miss Adele c
Neal,a graduate of Hampton University
has been teaching this school for thu
past two terms; and was the majority
choice for the present school term. By
misrepresentation to the superinteu
dent that officer was led to recommend
another teacher, and correspondence
was begun between she and the disgrun
tied committee, which led to two teach
ers putting in an appearance on Monday
morning The kicking committee left
on the morning train for Milford to see
the superintendent, carrying the key of
the schoOlhouse with him. A previous
'Phone dispatch,' however, revealed
the fact that the superintendent had
gone 10 Philadelphia. The majority
committee, with the assistance Of an Of
ficer, entered the building by wind9w
aud removing the lock from the door,
and installed Miss Neal as teacher. The
other lady, after knowing the situation
said, she would not take nor have the
school under any such conditions. Miss
Neal is thought 10 be very efficient

Something unusual and unique oc-
Cured on Wednesday night, when the
steamer arrived at her dock. AS is usual,
there was a crowd at the dock. Three
drunken negresses belonging to Milton,
made the air hideous. A man of the
town, after other orgies, boarded the
boat and swore "I'll break that lamp ~
''If you do" said au employe, "I'llB slap
you over" The drunken man was
stepped over. Afterward he was put
from the steamer, when Captain David
son showed a hand and he left. Now
we say the church is not responsible for
the actious of its members; but it is
blamable if, after such debauches, to
pose in its sanctuary, and under its pro-
tecting egis.
