THE CHARGES ARE WEAK.
Allegations Against Superintendent
Wathen Based Principally
On Heresay.
MR.. AND MRS. GLADDEN. BACK
UP STATEMENT.
Hardly Made Out Case Worth
Considering And Wathen
Asks Exoneration.

The investigation of Charges
against superintendent of County
Schools, F Eugene Wathen. before
the Board of School Commissioners to-
day proved 10 be rather more amusing
than otherwise to those who were
present Following the reading of the
yoluminous and specified charges the
board went into executive session but
there is little doubt of the complete
vindication of Mr. Wathen.
The charges were preferred by MIR.
and Mrs. John GLADDEN., Of the Third
district and if they had been suhstan-
tiated. would have been enough to
make the poor accused hide his head
forever and a day. According to the
evident opinion of the plaintiffs the
county superintendent of schools has
been and is guilty of every sin of
omission and commissop that could be
done by him under the school laws
and bylaws of the county.
However strong case the plaintiffs
had made out in their own minds, the
case as presented was hardly worth
the time taken to wade through the
fearful accumulation of school reports
and instructions to officers The actual
charges were backed principally by
hearsay evidence presented by Mr. and
Mrs. GLADDEN. AS an illustration of
the preparedness of the plaintiffs
and their knowledge of their subject,
Mr. Wathen was accused with not
having visited the school in which
they are interested during the past
year. In substantiation of this they
had the work of a number of minor
pupils.
They had not brought the pupils TO
speak for themselves. and were some-
what upset by Mr.. Wathen's reply to
this particular charge He simply
referred to his visitation book and
showed the entry of a particular date
and hour on which he had visited that
school during the last term. In prac-
tically all of the charges the result of
the investigation was the same. Taken
as a whole the hearing was more anus
ing than serious and so far as substan-
tiating the verbal charges made some
time ago, the plaintiffs action was
All utter failure.

THE AMERICAN HOSPITALITY
International Exchange of Visits BY
Naval Powers.

During the past few months there
has been an international exchange Of
visits between foreign nayies and the
United States navy. and this exchange
is not vet complete Within a few
weeks the United States is 10 be hon
ored by the presence of splendid
squadron of the British navy under
the command of Admiral Prince Louis
of Battenherg, and also by the presence
of one of the great squadrons of the
French navy.
When these squadrons have received
the honors due 70 them, and when
their officers and men have partaken
of the outpouring of American hospi-
tality which awaits them, we shall
have witnessed within the space of
four months the spectacle Of the three
great naval powers Great Britain,
France and the United States, each
sending to the ports of the other tive
a squadron of modern warships on a
mission of amity and concord.
The spectacle is most unusual if
not unique, says the Army and Navy
Journal, and il is. moreover, a pro-
pitious one for the world. For with a
broad, rational understanding among
those three powers, the peace of the
world would probably be secure
against any conceivable combination.
Ii is in those nations that we shall
find the largest development of civil
and religious liberty, the highest ex-
preston of intelligence, art and bust
ness enterprise and the truest ideals
of honor in diplomacy and statecraft,
These foreign vessels that are ex-
pected to visit the United States in
the next few weeks will visit the
Naval Academy and the usual ooor-
tesies of naval ethics will be ex.

WAS KILLED WHILE BOXING.
Yet The Sailor of The Navy Dies
In Line of Duty.

A rather queer state of affairs has
developed through an investigation at
the Navy Department ON Monday last
which ttiscloses the fact that Raphael
Cohen. coal pasSer on the orusier
Yankee, was killed ON board that yes
sci in boxing contest at Monte Cristo,
Santo Domingo. on July 4
1t has been alleged that the man
was forced into the fight for the edit
cation of the officers Of the Yankee
and of other vessels of the Caribbean
squadron The officers of the Yankee
were giving an entertainment ON
board Rear Admiral Bradford, COM
manding the Caribbean squadron, re-
ported Cohen's death ON July 10,
merely saving that the sailor came TO
his death by blow ON the head sus-
tanned in boxing contest. A court
OF inquiry was ordered on the case.
The court found that there was no
need for further action, as death had
been accidental.
4 board of inquest also repoi ted to
the Department This boards report
said that the man died while in line
of duty. The ships surgeon report
said that death was caused by the man
being knocked out in boxing contest,
causing hemmorrhage on the left side
of his brain. Cohen was knocked
out" at l0p. m. according TO the sur
geon's report. and died an hour and
twenty minutes later without recover
ing consciousness. 1t is not likely
that the case will be taken up again.
Officials say that boxing contests on
shipboard are regular events, and that
the officers Of the various vessels ct
the navy aud of the squadrons and
fleets have instructions 60 encourage
sports and athletics OF all kinds.
The officers of the vessel put Cohen's
death down as an unfortunate result
of friendly boxing match The al
legations that Cohen, was forced TO en-
ter the match, although he complain
ed that he was i'll and did not want To
fight. is not known officially at the

TRAGEDY ON A FAST FLYER.
The Engineer Is F9und Dead AT
The Throttle.

\ tragedy was enacted on the Fast
Flyer leaving Jersey City, OH Sunday,
at z 80 D. IN. The heavy train of
eight coaches made the first stop at
Princeton Junction. Trenton came
next, where the engineer oiled the ma
chinery around the locomotive.
Shortly after leaving there he de-
tected the odor of sburning waste and
notified the fireman that they had a
hot box. Both agreed. however. that
the run TO Philadelphia could be made,
as they were then across the Trenton
bridge at Morrisville. Some minutes
afterwards the fireman, from his seat
on the other side of the cab, noticed
that the steam guage indicator was
rising rapidly and taking out his
watch he found that the train was
running at the unusual speed of 60
miles an hour.
He then fired the engine and hav-
ing breathing spell noticed a red
light flashing by, then after mo-
ment another. He questioned the en-
gineer, but got no answer. You We
gone by two red bugs, check her. "
No reply again. Then another dan
ger signal flashed by and the fireman
realized that something was the mat
ter with Maloney, the engineer, and
leaning over he found that the engi-
neer was dead and his crushed head
was hanging out of the cab window,
he having probably leaned too far out
to watch the hot box.
The fireman seized the airbrake
lever and the throttle and brought
the runaway locomotive TO a STOP, just
in time to avoid the network of side
tracks and switches on the outskirts
of Philadelphia. None of the passen-
gers and not even the conductor knew
of the accident until the station at
PHILADELPHIA was reached.
