CHICKEN THIEVES AT WoRK.— The Beighbdorhood in South Washingtou between Band D and 10th and Mth streets has the reputation of being so quiet and orderly that the police do not see the necessity of patrol- Ing the streets there at night, which fact seems to have become known to the chicken thieves and burglars. Wednesd@y night they visited the house of Mr. Anderson, on B, between 12th and 13th streets, and took everytr'ng in the yard that they could carry away. Last night they again made @ visit there and took his market basset and sev- eral cooking utensils and other implements, after which they scaled the yard. fence of Mr. Charles T. Sandford, on 13th street, and earried off six valuable chickens, stripped a young peach tree of ali the fruit within reach, took some clothing, and escaped through the back gate, lex ving it open. [tis @ singular fact that Messrs. Anderson and Sandford are the only persous within several Squares around this vicinity who do not keep loaded muskets in their houses read; for these fellews. Several housekeepers about there Keep as mary as three shot-guns ready for use. [tis to be regretied that they did not invade the premises of tanese gentle- men.

Witoees explainel Superintendent Wilson said he had looked over the papers of Mr. Thompson and a rigid marking might reduce the total ten per cent. Mr. Thompson’s statement was about cor- rect. By Mr. Lioyd:—Wiil you state your opin- ion of Mr. Thompson as a principal? Mr. Wilson thought it an unfair question, as th's was the question for tae committee. He was very thorough as a teacher. Q. Do you regard him as a failure as a principal? Mr. Wiison.—That is the very question that the committee is to answer. Mr. McLellan was recalled and testified that when he came on the board he ixtro- dueed these rigid rules in reference to the water closets, and that he found it almost impossible to keep them im order. Wien the Seaton building was completed there was a better condition of things, and with his ef. forts, spending five hours per day, they were not kept inorder. There were no supervis- ing principals then. When there were effi. cient janitors the closets could be kept in geod condition, and the closets In the Sec- ond district were in excellent condition now. Don’t think the closets could be kept in good order upiess the janitor was about the build- during schoo! bours. Hovey submitted @ list showing that the Fourth district grammer commenced With 60 pupiis,and there were 26 at the end of the year and 22 withdrawals. jompson explained the withdrawal of the pupiis inorder, the most of them be- ing about the close of the year, after the tten examipation. Mr. Hovey remarked that he wished to ask of the al habits of Mr. Thompson, and a if he drank. sain ebieooa T. Thompson.—Yes, sir; water, coffee, beer, and sometimes whisky. Mr. Lioyd ob; -_ walea that the ques- e tion was whel disqualified himseif from duty, and that was ail which should be as. Mr. Thompson remarked that he had drank and refused to drink with Champlin, and he had recently drank with Mr. Hovey, by his invitation. Mr. Thompson said that he could roduce & physician who was a@ trustee, who Baa recommended him to drink whisky oc- casionally. Mr. Hovey said the question was whether the principal did not set a bad example. yd remarked that Mr. Thom; bad never drank in the presence of his pu: i for a trustee— Mr. Champlin asked the protection of the — as be bad been chargcd enough. Mr. Ipb said that the charges should be made in the board against Mr. Champlin. After some discussion, Mr. Champlin said that he had been insulted several times, and he denied that he had ever so played carts. Mr. Randolph said it was & most serious question, should be investigated, fora Ueacher should be above suspicion. Mr. Dyer moved to amend Mr. Lioyd’s motion that SS. jute his (Taomp- son’s) personal habits, and the amendmeat was adopted and the motion was agreed to. Mr. Thompson said he admitted that he bad drank various liquors in bis lifetime, may have drank at Helmus’ and at others with Mr. Hovey, Champlin, and others, ‘Would admit that he had been in such places, but chiefly to take a lunch or by sociai invi- tation. Was not @ drinker, in any sense of the word. The pbysician’s opinion had been confirmed; his health had improved by a more liberal course of diet. Mr. Hovey handed Mr. Thompson a list of restaurants, and asked in how many he bad drank. rt. Hovey said he proposed that he should answer or refuse to aaswer Mr. Lioyd objected, as Mr. Thompson had admitted that he bad been in restaurants. Mr. Thom; said he would admit that he bad been in the most of them during the last two or three years, but denied that it was for the purpose of drinking, for he gen- erally went for & lunch. Mr. Hovey said he would call the wit- nesses. Mr. Thompson repeated that he went into such places generally for something to eat; bat if he was in company It was more ihan likely to get ee ee 5 anise rT.

Yorke AtLee testified to seeing Mr. Thompson in drinking saloons; has drank with bim probably three or four times. Mr. Parker, the Janitor, was recalled and testified that he had seen Mr. Thompson in drinking saloons three or four times, taking beer generally. Never saw him under the influence of liquor.

Mr. Thomp- son generally treated his pupils who were well up respectful, but sometimes he became very irate when boys did not study. Samuel Wood made a statement to the ef- fect that Mr. Thompson was sometimes vio- lent in bis manner. The society a resolution prohibiting members from using tobacco; could not say that it was carried out. The use of tobacco was interdicted in the sebool, buf was indulged In.
