CHIP or GLASS KILLS BOY.
Rcbounded From Asphalt and Cut His
Throat End Of Thieyish Prank.

: S~even-year-old Charlie Mandel was play
ing with some other boys in front Of 81
Norfolk street late yesterday afternoon,
when some lad in another group threw ar
ordinary drinking glass down hard on the
asphalt pavement. The glass struck near
Charles feet, with a crack, flying into a
thousand pieces.
At the same instant, the boy uttered a cry
OF pain and clutched at his neck, Blood
was squirting between his fingers in little
jets. He sank to the pavement. The other
boys were terror stricken.
Samuel Sabotsky, who was passing,
ran to the lad. picked him up in one arm
and slapping his hand over the wound
hurried to a drug store at 21l Broome street.
When he got there the lad was unconscious
and when a doctor from Gouverneur Hos
pital arrived, he was dead from loss Of
blood. A piece of the flying glass had
severed his jugular vein.
Detectives learned from two boys that
Harry Weisberg, who lives at 143 East
Broadway, had thrown the glass. They
said the crowd stole a bottle of settler from
a wagon and then took a glass from a soda
fountain stand. They hid the bottle, after
they emptied 1t. behind some steps, and
the Weisberg boy, who had the glass, his
companions said, threw IL out in the street
to get rid OF Il. Detectives were waiting at
the Weisberg home last night, but the boy
hadn't shown up.

LONDON, May 15.-There have been nu-
merous wrecks Of fishing vessels for some
time past owing to inexplicable errors OF
the compass. This led the underwriters Of
such craft sailing from Grimsby TO make
an investigation, with the result that they
discovered reflections of the compass
were due TO a special type Of largo clasp

for Use in their work.
The method of tempering the knife in

defects the needle two or three points,
and as the man moves the needle gyrates

superintendent OF schools In Danger or
Contracting a Cure.

tOHtFttthih u Suft'
The school superintendents net yes
terday at the Board OF Education rooms and
considered the project of spelling reform in
the schools as recommended by the spelling
board, which advocates 300 shorter forms.
Prof. Brander Matthews and Col, Charles
E. Sprague spoke in advocacy Of the use Of
certain words that are spelled different
ways by the authority Of different diction-
aries.
Controller" was recommended as a u b
stitute for the older Comptroller; which is
statutory in this city; "rime," instead Of
rhyme; program 'catalog,' "altho'
and "tho.'
Mr.. Matthews attributed much Of the clum-
siness in English spelling to the earliest
printers in England, who we're Germans
or Dutohmen and could not spell English
right.
The superintendents listened attentively
to the reformers and asked some questions.
1t was said hat five OF the nine superin-
tendents are using the shorter spellings In
their correspondence and that two others
believe there is need of reform to save the
time of the children ant teachers. No
official action in the matter was taken yes
terday. Some of the teachers have intro
duced the simpler forms Of spelling.
