MAIN STREET PAVING.

The announcement that in few
days arrangements would be conf
pleted by the Town Council with
every property owner on Main street
from Iron to East for paving with
brick, is mistake on the part OF
somebody. The authorities OF the
Episcopal church are not aware OF
any such arrangement.
At the regular meeting OF the
vestry in September a committee
was appointed to consult with the
council and report to the vestry.
A special meeting will be held
probably next week some time. Un-
til then no one has any authority
to state what will be done. II the
paving is done, it will cost the
church over a thousand dollars, as
its frontage is nearly four times as
much as any other property owner IN
that square. Before rushing into II
hastily the church officers want tc
know where the funds are to come
from.

Mr.. Hewitt, had had some eXpe
rience in teaching, and the trestee
prevailed upon him 10 accept tn
principalship, and he entered upol
his duties in the fall of 1872, an(
very acceptably filled the position
for two years.
Since leaving Bloomsbury he ha
had charge of parishes in Omaha

EDUCATING NURSES.
Free Scholarships Available.

Philadelphia, the city of Brother
ly Love, has an exhibition of prac-
tical benevolence in the work Of
the Philadelphia School for Nurses
which is of surprising interest to
every one interested in the care of |
the sick, the education of nurses |
and the promotion of public health |
and sanitation.
The annual report showed that
during the past year, ten thousand,
two hundred and seventy-6ve pa
tients were supplied with nurses,
who otherwise could not have
secured skilled nursing care. Four
fifths of this service was rendered
gratuitously. 1t was shown also
that in teaching facilities, available
workers and number of students,
the School ranks as the largest
school for nurses in the world
Clara Barton, the world re-
nowned nurse and manager of field
hospital work, and organizer of the
Red Cross Society, having for many
years observed the efficient work Of
the Philadelphia School for Nurses,
recently invited Dr.. Eugene Under
hill founder of the institution, to
visit her, and be present at a con-
ference in her summer home in
Oxford, Mass. for the purpose Of
considering the advisablity of re-
producing the work in the larger
New England cities.
At a public reception, representa-
l tives from Lowell, Salem, Worces
ter, Springfield, Bridgeport, New
| Haven, Providence and other man
ufacturing centers, called attention
to the need of this service for their
respective cities.
| Several large classes Of students
are about to be enrolled in the
| Philadelphia School for Nurses,
who will, doubtless, witness the
| extension Of the work of the insti-
tuition in accordance with plans
| no" developing as a result ol the
recent New England conferences.
A large number Of free Two Year
scholarships are available to young
women living throughout the EN-
tire country, preference being given
to those from the smaller towns and
cities, and the rural districts. These
scholarships include room, board,

without warning fired a shot into his
brothers back. Waiting only long
enough to see his victim fall to the
floor, Fortier ran out of the build
ing. Turning to look back after he
had gone short distance, he saw
that his brother had managed to.
crawl to the door and cry out for as
sistance. Returning to the scene,
Fortier fired five shots into his broth
er's head. killing him. Jumping
into buggy that stood near the mad
man drove rapidly in the direction of
lumber camp, where the wife of his
murdered brother was employed as
cook. Before the mans intentions
could be OWNED he had gained a
good start and the sheriff and a
posse of citizens who had started to
follow, were nuable to overtake him.
Within an hour telephone mes
sage was received from the lumber
camp stating that Fortier had shot
and killed his brothers wife. After
committing the second murder For
tier plunged into the woods, where
he was later overtaken and captured
by posse of citizens. The only mo-
tive known from the crime is the fact
that Fortier had been employed in
his brothers store and had been dis
! charged a short time before the
tragedy.
