The outcome Of the charges and the In
Vestigation thereof by the state board of
education alleging incompetency on the
part of the department of public instruc-
ton. made by Joseph D. Eggleston. jr.. of
Prince Edward. Is awaited with interest.
Mr. Eggleston appeared before the board
and stated with frankness that he began
the investigation of the workings of the
department with a view to furthering his
candidacy for the Office of superintendent,
and that the mention of names of persons
In connection with his charges was Incl
dental to the charge of inefficiency of the
board.
j. d. Eggleston declares that the work of
compiling a register of the character of
the Virginia register would occupy two
whole days. The book is sold at 10 cents
copy to the state, whereas the cost of
the register, as given by printers, is one
third that sum. Mr.. Egglestons contention
is that the department of public instruc
ton is inefficient, and that the department
should have the register printed and sold
to the school boards at actual cost.

DEATH OF FRANK CAMPBELL.
Old and Valued Employe of the ConsOl-
 dated Railroad.

Old and Valued Employe of the Consol-
 dated Railroad.
 The relatives and friends in this city of Frank Campbell. who was killed by a train at Simsbury on Friday night, gation as possible, are as follows:
 which have been printed concerning his death The facts as near as could be learned by a friend of the family, who has made as thorough an iyesti- are much pained by various reports
 There is no question but what the de- ceased was attending his duties as sta. ton agent ait Simsbury when he was killed. Mir Campbell was appointed to that position 3 week ago, and naturally he desired to acquaint himself with his environments as thoroughly as pos sible. Therefore the statement to the effect that it looked as though his death was a suicide is denied by all who know these facts, and who believe that the reason he was killed some distance from the station was because he had gone there for the purpose of investigation.
 1t is true that he complained of feel ing poorly that day, and the supposi- tion is that while conducting these in vestigations he was taken suddenly very ill, probably having fainting spell.
 MT. CampbeIl's wife died year ago and his mother died two weeks ago, but any statement that he was more de pressed than the circumstances war ranted are false.
 MT. Campbell has been in the employ of therailroad company for over thirty years, and was a most valued and re- spected employe. For over seventeen years he was employed at the station in PlainviIle, resigning that position about two years ago to engage in bus mess with his brotherrin-law, J. W.. Schroeder, in this city.
 While in Plainville the deceased was a member of the Episcopal church, and was q vestryman. He was also treas. urer of the. Strong fund for the poor. He was elected representative of the town at one time, but declined to serve. He was also 2 member of Harmony lodge, No. 5, I. o, o. F., of this city. MT Campbell is survived by his father, Miles Campbell, of 367 Ellsworth ave- nue, this city; a sister, Mrs. Charles O. Damn, of the same address, and George M Campbell, a brother. who is with .the Brown & Durham Co, and resides at POT Edgewoed avenue.
 The funeral services. will be held from the residence of his sister, Mrs. Charles o. Damn, at 3s7 Ellsworth avenues on Tuesday afternoon at 2.3O clock. Rel atives and friends are invited to at. tend. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Charles Q. Seoville of Trim ity church, and the Odd Fellows will assist at the grave. The interment will bss in the family lot at Evergreen cem- etery, Beeeher and Bennett have charge of the funeral arrangements.
