FATHER cYPRlAN WRITES.

Thursdays Times had an account of
Negro at the Apartments located at
43rd and Gillian Road by one c. O.
Miles. Rivers is alleged to have been
intoxicated and attempted to shoot DR..
w. j. Keohler who lives in the Apart
ments, claiming that he believed him
to be a burgler, although the Doctor
tried to explain yet Rivers fired at him
several times until he was shot down
by Miles with bullets SCATTERING his
thigh. Rivers is in the Old City Hos
pital in a critical condition. Relative
to the above Father Cyprian, the much
loved and devoted Priest in charge of
st. Monica's Church and School writes
as follows:
Dear Mr.. Crews: In reference ia
the incident recorded in The Times l
wish to state that the shooting of Jean
Rivers, Janitor al 1901 Gilman Rd.,
was not a crime, but a necessity to
save the lives of good respectable peo-
pie. The Negro who was beastly in
toxicated threatened the life of DR.. w.
Koehler and his wife and after he shot
at these defenseless people was in
turn shot by Mr.. Miles. What are we
coming to in this city if people cannot
enter into their own homes without
running the risk of being killed by
a drunken janitor? And what a ter
rible calamity it would have been had
the shots fired at DR.. Koehler and
wife by this drunken wretch taken eff
feet. The Koehler family are the
greatest benefactors of the Negro par
ish (St. Monica's 18th and Lydia) and
in return for their kindness towards
the Colored people they are threatened
with death by one of the race
Shame. II the man recover he will
be prosecuted and I shall prevail up
on the judge to give hi mthe maximum
penalty.
Father Cyprian, st. Monica Church.

GALL F0R
 DEWEY AUTO

A serious accident was narrowly avertei this morning, when the Dewey house Ford was stopped by the driver after the machine had broKen through the railing on the wharf about 100 feet north of the new planking which has just been laid, and while the front wheels Of the machine were hanging over the wharf.
 Frcm reports obtained from spec talors, it would seem as though the bus, loaded with passengers had left the Sophia, and was headed for town, and when part way up the approach and running slowly, three pedestrians were signaled by L. F.. Green, who was driving the car to give him right of way. The men evidently did not hear the sig nal, for when the car had approach ed to within fifty feet, they then noticed the machine, and started for the west side, but before the car could pass they changed oyer to the east side. The car made first for the east side, and when the men changed their course, the wheel of the car was put over to guide the car to the west or left, MT. Green, operating the car, threw the wheel a little too far, and hit the guard rail of the approach, and the front wheels of the car went over. A number of pieces Of hand baggage was being carried on the hood of the car, and this was precipitated into the water, which at the time was about seven or eial feet deep.
 Outside of the passengers getting ba- scare, and the wetting of the hand baggage, no damage was sus- tained
 By those who saw the accident Mir. Green is credited with showing much coolness and as he is a well experienced driver, no blame can be thrown on him.

Syllabus. By the Court. Mason. J.
/. Where a writ of mandamus is asked
to compel a board of education to allow
graduates of parochial school to enter the
and the whole controversy is over the
existence of their right in that regard, the
time set for the examination, and detailed
regulations regarding it, are not material
. A board of education, under the power
granted it to make rules for the govern
ment of city schools, may require the
examination for admission to the high
school, while admitting graduates of pub
lie schools without such an examination.
B. Where such rule exists, graduates
of a parochial school can not obtain a
right to be admitted to the high school
without an examination, by establishing to
the satisfaction of a court that their school
affords training equal to that of the pub
lie schools.
4. Where. in an action brought to re-
quire board of education to admit to the
yates of a parochial school, the board ad-
mits that such applicants have studied the
same text books and been given the same
tests and examinations in the same man
ner and to the same extent the grad
yates of the public schools who are received
without examination, such admissions JUS
tify an order allowing such applicants to
enter the high school without further ex-
animation.
.. The controversy referred to is not
affected by statute authorizing the grad
yates of certain public schools upon pass
ing an examination therein provided for to
receive diplomas admitting them to any
high school in the state.

thereon and oral repetition of certain
parts of the written charge already given

Held, that as it does not appear that
written instructions had been requested,
and as no request was made for further
argument to the jury no prejudicial error
was committed by such denial.
IL. In this state error does not raise
the presumption of prejudice. Experience
has led to the classification of errors into
those termed prejudicial and that greater
legion denominated harmless. For the
former only can reversal be ordered.
