despite the inclemency of the weather,

School Board,

At the monthly meeting of the City
School Board held last night there were
present Capt. Herbert Bryant and MessrS.
Thomson, Yates, Ramsay, Thompson,
Bradshaw, Carne and the Superintendent
The clerk was directed to pay the
boards share of the cost of building the
party fence in the rear Of Washington
building.
Mr.. Yates reported that the work OF
repairing the buildings and furniture
had been about completed and presented
the bill, for the same. He said the
board had been cOmplimented on the
improvements that had been made. The
janitor of Seaton building, he said, had
asked for twenty-five window curtains
for that building, but the committee Lad
made an adverse recommendation.
A number of bills for repairs were
presented and ordered TO be paid.
Mr.. Yates, in explanation of the
amount Oft bills, said the buildings were
all in bad condition, as but little had
been done upon them by the previous
committees for some years past. DE
said that next year another root would
be required for one of the buildings.
A communication from the Misses
Rotchford in reference to the pupils Of
Lee school who were taking mnsiC
lessons from them was referred to The
Superintendent with power to act.
The Superintendent reported that the
schools were all in successful operation
and that the new teachers we're all doing
well; none of the teachers had been alb
sent during the last month.

Major Sylyester's Report.

Mai. Sylyester's report to the Commits
sioners OF the District of Columbia as 10
the conduct of Capt. Mathews and the
police of the Fourth precinct, on the
night Engineer Hugh Murphy was scald-
ed to death. is not likely to be received
with satisfaction BY the members OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The brotherhood preferred the charges,
which eliminated in hearing before
Commissioner Mcfarland.
The report vigorously defends Capt.
Mathews, Lieut. Mulhall and the police
of their command, who were called to
render assistance on The night OF the ac-
cident. The railroad men, through
their attorney, Mr.. Charles Bendheim,
will ask the Commissioners to hear ad-
dtionsl testimony relative to Capt Ma
thews' alleged rough treatment OF sever
al men who were vainly attempting to
relieve the dying engineers suierings.
Mai. Sylvester recommends that the
police trial board be directed to try Capt.
Mathews, Lieut.. Mulhall aud the six
or seven policemen interested.
Mai. Sylvester, in his report, does not
give much importance to the question OF
the capacity of the jacks used by the
railroad workinen in their efforts to lit
the engine from Murphy. On this SUD-
ject he says:
"The question of the capacity of jacks,
both screw and hydraulic, has been
raised. There appears to have been sew
eral lacks brought TO the scene OF the
wreck some of which were not in order,
but. so or not, it was the duty OF the
police to have permitted their use and
application without regard to their ca
pacity. Int an emergency where establish
ed aud capable appliances are not at
hand. any means should be utilized
which might rescue, aid or protect.
Tn )mas II. Brickiey, member OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
after learning the nature of Maj. Sylves-
ters report, said it Is not just what he
expected, but he would not care to criti-
else it. He did say, however, that his as
ISOLATION will fight the case to the end,
and is prepared to furnish at least a dozen
more witnesses, who can testify to the
conduct of the police.
