TRAIN KILLS MAN
WALKING ON TRACK
IN HEAVY STORM
M. F. Martin Struck After
Blasts of Whistle Fail
ed to Warn Him.

Willard Fillmore Martin, OF wash
ington, was run down by fast
express train from New York yes
terday afternoon and instantly killed.
The mans neck was broken, both arms
were badly mangled, and the body
hurled into ravine 100 feet from the
tracks.
Martin, who was an insurance solicit
tor for the Fidelity Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. was making collections
at LangdOn, Nd, and was returning 10
the city TO catch an electric car when
he was run down. Conductor T. T.
Allen, Engineer V T. Green, and Fire
mar A. J. Rubizch, who were in charge
Of the express. made a statement of the
affair to George ". Martin, superin-
tendent OF the Terminal company.
Had Collar About Ears.
According to the story of these three
men, al of whom live in Baltimore. a
dense mist and a binding rain made II
dif1cult to see more than thirty or forty
feet IN front OF the engine. Just as
the train rounded the sharp curve at
the place where Martin was struck, En-
gineer Green said that he saw a man

brella raised and his coat collar turned
high about mis- ears. Evidently the beat
OF the heavy rain together with the
coat collar about his head prevented
Martin from hearing the approaching
danger even after the whistle was
blown sharply several times.
After blowing his whistle and seeing
that the man on the tracks ahead made
no move to get out OF the way. Green
applied the brakes and reversed his
throttle, but it was too late. even to
cause the speed Of the train TO slacken

ent. who was unable to be present and
tell his story, Air. Fulton again left tbs
board room and was not present wheT
the verdict was announced
Pleads for Continuance.
HIS departure was preceded by ar
eloquent argument in plea for a few
/ days continuance. in which he char
acterized the acsion OF the board IN
refusing TO give a sick man a chance,
as brutal and cOwardly. and a disgrace
to the Capital OF the Nation.
Charges Against Chancellor.
The charges upon which DR.. Chan
cellor was found guilty by the board

Of exceeding authority in introducing
high school studies into graded schools.
He was found not guilty Of the charge
of conniving at the passage of what IS
known as the Smith BILL" having for
its object the subverting OF the boards
powers.
Prof. Evermann In explaining his vote
Of mot guilty" on these specifications
announced that he so voted only on ac-
count OF the fact that the charges had
been ordered dropped by the boards

scented on them.
After the monotonous guilty had
been sounded ten times from each one
Of the nine members of the board, Cap
tain Oyster asked for an expression of
the wish OF the board.

Be Temporary.

Found gully on ten of the four
teen charges preferred by the Board
of Education against him, Dr. VII
liam z. Chancellor was shortly be-
fore midnight last night dismissed
by that body from the position Of
superintendent Of Public Schols for
the District of Columbia.
The dismissal was ordered to take
place at once. Immediately after the
vote, which was unanimous. was an
uounced, the board retired for a
short executive session, and on re-
turning to the board room elected
former Superintendent A. 7. Stuart
to succeed DR.. Chancellor.

his selection by a Times representative
early this morning. expressed his grati-
fication at the honor accorded him, and
said that he must yield to the unani-
nous wish Of the Board of Education.
but that his acceptance Of the position
would be temporary. He would gladly
fill in and serve the board until il has
time to give the selection of a perma-
nent superintendent long and careful
consideration, he said. and he felt this
a public duty.
II viii say that I am greatly pleased
at the manner IN which my selection
was made. and the mark of esteem be-
slowed upon me- but my POSITION in re-
gard TO the permanent superintendency

position. have not yet heard officially
Of my selection, but 1 expect that viii

The information that he had been
dismissed from the superintendency was
conveyed to DR.. Chancellor by a Times
reporter. It was said at the superin-
tendent's residence that he was quite
sick and had retired for the night,
members of the family declining to al
low him to be seen. Mrs. Chancellor
expressed no surprise at the news, say
ing it was what they had anticipated.
Closing Session Lively.
The closing moments of the remark
able trial which had engaged the at
tention Of the board, with frequent in
terruptions, during the past eight weeks
were no less dramatic than sessions
that have gone before, Contrary to his
expressed determination not TO again
appear before the board, Attorney Full
ton decided at the last moment to ap-
pear for his client. Mr.. Fulton re-
NAMED during the afternoon and even
ing session, until the board acted upon
his request for another postpOnement

proved.

ANOTHER ONE ON THE STROLLER WHICH IS ROHE THAA \ BRG- TIER TO THE OTHER ONE

A little while a!o Professor TslfOrd, of the public school, dropped into the Alaskan office and proposed that this newspaper be turned over, for one day, 50 the school children, they to be srrSs- cd to get i: out-iOr the practical sz. perience 1t would bs to them.
 The management promptly said: "certainly-any time," believing that the experiment. would be of sufficient interest to all itS resderS so warrant it, especially as the parents of ,hese child. reu are ose readers Prof. TellOrd said be believed in newspaper reading as au aid to edu:asion and greatly desired that the children should be attracted that way. But as the days ran On the confidence of the professor ID tho abil- ity Of the children to go through with the undertaking rather lessened than grew. Finslly be got them 10 work with au old wreck of typewriter, to practice, and the printing ion one side Of a single sheet of writing psperl of THE NORTHERN LIGHT, was the result. Professor Telford feared on account of the labor incident and the unsatisfactory result, that the interest o' the children could not be maintained. To ald to that interest the Alaskan promised to reprint 90 much of the matter as could be Of any public interest aud then opened up on them g mock newspaper controversy that they might feel they were engaged in

 But now comes that Dear Old Stroller from over at whitehorse, bis bot. chivalrlc Southern blood stirred to the fighting point, Be sees where some little tots with thsr nighties' need to be rescued from the merciless O55laughts of man with prioting press, aud as a man with printing press himself he rushes into the breach Was there ever anything so funny?
 Perhaps the Stroller has become a misuomer-perhsps he has quit Stroll Ing. Honest now, has he been as far AS the railroad station in fifteen years? But when whole community is to be fed on ice worms, and grass Is grow lug in the main thoroughiare on the 24th of January, what is a poor Stroller to do?

 The trick of liVeniug up the Stroller column with this sort of Subteriuge- making the children responsible for It. is visiting upon the helpless little one, with nothing but an old typewriter tc come back with) Q moro terrible scOurge than anything tho Stroller thought he was trying to reOcuo then from.
