PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS. Changes Made by the Board of School | Trustees Last Night. A LITTLE CONTROVERSY OVER A REDUCTION OF TWO TEACHERS’ SALARIES—THE SYSTEM OF MARKING IN THE NORMAL SCHOOLS SUSTAINED— NORMAL GRADUATES ASSIGNED. The steady rain last night did not prevent a full attendance upon the regular meeting of the school board at the Franklin building. Every member was present and a large amount of routine business was transected, There was no interest in the proceedings, votes being taken with monotonous regularity, until the meeting was nearly over, when Mr. Whelpley arose to correct a mistake in the lists of teachers which had been passed by the com- mittee on teachers and janitors, This was in the placing of two teachers of eighth grades,not principals of buildings, at 21,000, whereas all others o: lass had been cut down, in the equalization of salaries, to $950. He, therefore, proposed to make these salaries couform to the rule. OPPOSED TO THE PROFOSITION. This proposition was met with determined opposition on the part of Messrs. Mitchell and White. in whose divisions the teachers come, and for a time the meeting was roused out of its lethargy into a semblance of activity. Mr. Mitchell said that he could not understand why his teacher should be selected out of all the others for this r. nd then Mr. Whe ley explained that it was because of a mist in m: up the lists, an error that should be corrected at once upon its discovery. He made &® motion to this effect, but it was voted down. Mr. White wanted the question referred back to the committee, aud this was done, with in- structious to report at once. HOW THE MATTER WAS SETTLED. The committee in a few minntes eubmitted a resolution, which was adopted with a gracefal protest from Mr, Mitchell. The resolution was as follows: “Reso erd, That the rolls of the fourth and ff'h THE NORMAL SCHOOL FACULTY. L G.

The weather hoodoo got in its work again yesterday on the diamond field and prevented two of the league games, one of which—per- haps fortunateiy—was to have been played here. Boston took a game from Philadelphia, 5 to 1, and thereby crawled up on the Giants, Radbourne and Ganzel and Sanders and Schriver were the batteries, Boston made 9 hits and 3 errors and Philadelphia 4 hits and 5 ton bunched 6 singles, and with the aid of some bad playing by Myers, Thompson and Wood made ali their runs, Chicago hada jolly time with the Hoosiers, taking the game, which was notable only for the miserable fielding of both teams, by the score of 19 to 8. But seven innings were played. Gumbert and Darling and Fee and Daily were the batteries, Chicago made 15 hits and 8 errors and Indianapolis 11 hits and 9 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES, At Louisville—Cincinnati, 5; Louisville, 1.

A special to the Phila- Press says: Umpire Curry has been bi in much the same manner as he hendled Faatz of the Cleveland last Satur- day, and, although no reasons have been given, it is probable that Saturd: episode was the cause, The public sympathy is with Umpire Qu for all who saw Faatz’s disgraceful ac- tions felt thet Curry would have been justified in imposing even & heavier fine. They look upon President Young’s dismissal of Curry just at this time as an indorsement of the dirty conduct of Faatz. Curry had made many mis- takes and has burt the Boston as much as any Sid club, but in this instance he was in the right, Curry talked freely about the matter and ex- > ; his opinions and feelings without stint. fe y ave stood a great deal from players this on, There are some, you know, who think t anumpire is only on the field to be held up to the ridicule of the crowd, and they lose no opportunity of showing this. I have stood agreatdeal that no man with any sense of honor and feeling would stand, for I knew even if I did my duty there would be a great kick and my head would fall into the basket. You were a witness to the way that I was in- sulted on the field last Saturday. You are aware, too, how that man Faatz has acted all througn this season. When I was in Philadelphia Col. igers of that club asked me to stop the all playing of the Clevelands, and I promised so to do, What ia the result? What is my dismissal but a sustaining of the conduct aud the of that man Faatz? This is the wa gue supports its umpires. Iam the only man who has dared to stand up before such unreasonable men as Ewing and Faatz. Other umpires on the staff understand that their retention depends simply upon their keeping their mouths shut and remaining stumb while being abused. Iam sorry that I ever left the International association. I was aking there. I never expected such treatment in the ue. I want to say right here that Mike Kelly shows more consideration for the umpire and his duties than any captain im the eng I have not the least trouble with him.” Curry will make Philadelphia his home.

The Phillies are losing ground again. ‘The sold-game idea is getting the black eye all around. _ O'Day is pitehing the ball of his life for New York. “He has won eight out of nine games, Baltimore is cutting down expenses and is re- leasing men. ‘The St. Louis Star Sayings says that Latham has as much show of staying with the St. Louis club another season asa man witha broken neck has of living.

It is going to take a great deal of money to arrange matters, but come it will, Then Brooklyn will step into the place of Washington.

New York and Chicago Wasting Their Energy Over the World’s Fair. The New York correspondent of the Balti- more American, in speaking of the world’s fair project, says: Washington people have cause for great encouragement in the recent develop- ments here. From mayors of cities no further from New York city than Trenton come letters declining to aid New York in her work and stating im positive terms the preference of their citizens for the national capital as the site for the fair, The letters from those mayors who are in favor of New York are conspicuously pablished in the newspapers, but those who favor Washington are thrown out or but slightly mentioned, It is much like the vote which George Francis Train takes Sunday nights on His reception. ‘Is this a good show?” asks Citizen Train; “then all in favor of that senti- mieut will say yes.” Vociferous “ A half dozen noes “are hear it,” says Psycho, “those who don’t like it will please go out.

The high winds and lumpy sea at Newport yesterday prevented the completion of the trials of the cruisers Yorktown and Chicago. The Yorktown gave up after a fewruns over the course and returned to her old anchorage. The board of officers on the Chicago deter- mined to go on with the test in order that the ship might be allowed to return to New York, where she has been expected for more thana week. Several spins were taken up and down the course to get the fires in proper condition and to warm up the engines. Then she was pointed for the range and the signal ‘full speed” was sent to the engineer in charge below. As the’steam whistle gave the al on crose- | ing the line every officer on deck had his watch in hand, hoping to see the record that should mean 16 knots at least, but it soon became ap- parent that the engines were not working up to full speed, and 14 and nine-tenths was the best that she made, The next run was a little better, but not much. The third was still only 15 andone-tenth, Then the revolutions seemed to rise alittle higher, and on the fourth run 16 and one-tenth was recorded. This was the fourth run and the last, the mean speed being 15 and three-tenths. ‘This is considerably less than the ship made on her original trial trip, and much more than was expected today. ‘The conditions were un- favorable, to be sure, for the wind was across the course and the helm had to be kept over across the stern to keep her head true. T acted as a serious drag. but does not account for the fact that the revolutions, which should have reached 75, did not go above 70. It seemed impossible to get the fires up to the proper con- ! dition or to keep the steam pressure needed throughout the trials, The highest pressure developed was 87 pounds, while it should have been over 90. Before the trial began it was be- | lieved the speed would be well above 16 knots, in spite of the unfavorable conditions, and no one seems to understand why no better record was made, After the full-speed trials were concluded several other experiments were made to de- termine what could be done with one engine working alone. Bythe time these were con- cluded the wind had become so strong that it the ship came in and anchored. If today is fair the trials will be resumed and possibly concluded. Those which remain to be made are the runs at minimum specd and the trials for turning circle at various speeds and with the helm in different positions. Pardons Granted and Denied. President Harrison yesterday granted a par- don to Edward L. Fontain of the southern dis- trict of Mississippi, who was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment for breaking into the post office at Broom Haven, His sentence would have expired November 15, 1889, A pardon was denied John H. Banes of Indiana, sen- tenced to one year’s imprisonment for passing counterfeit $5 silver certificates. The Presi- dent also passed on the following cases: James 8. Leonard and Benjamin Watson of Wisconsin, sentenced in 1896 to seven years and six months for passing counterfeited and altered bank notes; senteuce commuted to four years, with the ‘benefit of time for good conduct. Pardons were granted to E. O. Daniels, con- victed for selling oleomargarine in wholesale uantities without a license, sentenced to pay a ine of $500 and costs; to Barnard Donnelly of Alaska, seutenced on the charge of burgiary to two years and six months’ imprisonment; and to Thomas Hale, of Tennessec, sentenced April 11, 1854, to three years’ imprisonment for ob- structing a deputy United Stutes marshal and a deputy United States collector. In the case of W. Moore Young of California. sentenced Feb- ruary 21, 1889, to one year imprisonment for violation of the revenue laws, the sentence is commuted to nine months’ imprisonment from the date of sentence. Two Yellow Fever Cases. Surgeon General Hamilton has received a report from Health Officer Smith of NewYork in regard to the death of John Wood, one of the firemen on the steamship Caingorm, which arrived at quarantine on the 15th from Cura- cao, the arrivai of the ship. Doctor Smith says the history of the case the appearance of the remains afforded symptoms indicative of yel- iow fever. An autopsy was made on ‘th steamer which confirmed thexe suspicions, The case is reported, the doctor explains, prin- cipally for the reason that tve bill of health from Curacao, the place at which the infection was undoubtedly received, was clean. Dr. Smith also refers to the arrival at quaran- tine of the British steamship Hondo from Grey- town with a case of sickness of a highly sus- picious character—Josephi Fennell, a passenger, who came on board at Greytown. In this case, as in the preceding. the bill of health was clean, and there has been no report of yellow fever at Greytown this season. Ii is not an uncommon & cludes, to receive clean bills of th from ports which have given us undoubted cases of yellow fever. NO MONEY, NO WEDDING. An American Girl Who May Escape Becoming a Princess. A Paris cable special to the Baltimore Amer- ican says: The projected match between Prince Hatzfeldt and the adopted daughter of C. P. Huntington has been broken off. The railroad magnate has concluded that he will not pay_ the prince's enormous debts, which, he believes, should be settled by the prince's father and mother, who are perfectly able to do so if they wished. Mr. Huntington declared to the prince that he would only allow his adopted daughter, Clara, a modest income, to be paid quarterly, and added that it would be stopped altogether if there were any attempt made to discount its payment in advance, Prince Hatz- feldt indignantly refuses to accept any such terms, The gist of the comment in Ameri circles here is that Mr. Huntington has given evi- | dence of much good sense by his decision, It is asserted that he learned during his trip through Germany that Prince Hatzfeldt was notan honorable man, and that there were several uasavory reasons why he could not live in his native country. On learning Mr, Hunt- ingtou’s intentions the prince's ardor asa lover anda fiauce underwent a considerable and altogether refreshing modification, and, in- deed, the only person whose feelings of affec- tion have suffered no change is Miss Hunting- ton hersel?, who is still exceedingly anxious to acquire the prince's badly tarnished coronet and heart. However, she will have no laek of suitors while here, With Prince Hatzfeldt barred the horde of other impecunious bearers of foreign titles will find a fair field. ———__ -se«._____ A New Plunger. Edward Bechtoldt is a young New York broker known in the betting ring as “The Mys- tery,” inasmuch as the book makers have never soen him, He is the latest plunger on the turf, but conducts all his operations through agents or commissioners, of whom there are said to be a dozen in his employ. “He sits in his office in Pine street, and, with the telegraph at his finger tips, orders that $1,000 be placed on this horse, $5,000 on that, and so on, He is the man, it is asserted, who bucked Chaos down to 8 to Lin the Futurity. Racing men have won- dered where the cyclonic plunge came from. The trainer of Chaos had no faith Whatever in the colt; but as he never lets one of his horses run loose, he invested $10 on the youngster as a “flyer.” It is scarcely probable, under the circumstances, that Mr. Scott backed him to any large exteat, Therefore to the new plunger must be credited the heavy losses of the book makers on the Futurity It is estimated that the amount taken from the ring by Bechtoldt on that occasion was $40,000, was decided to give up for the present, and | Wood died about 6 o'clock on the day of | experience at this quarantiae, the doctor cou- | IVES’ CROOKEDNESS. Woodruff’s Cross-Examination Com- pleted—Other Clerks Testify. In the cross-examination of Woodruff in the Ives case in New York yesterday after the re- port in Tue Stan had closed witness said that Ives suggested to him that he resign his posi- tion as secretary and treasurer of the Cincin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton road the day be- fore the crash on August 11, 1888. He com- plied. Speaking of his arrest in Newark the witness said he did not know why he was arrested for a few days, He came to New York voluntarily, but did not know that he would be protected from punishment by confessing to certain things. He was examined in December, 1888, by Judge Harmon, in Cincinnati, in the suit of Albert Netter against Ives & Co. On that oc- casion he testified in regard to the actions and talk of Christopher Meyer's interest in the ——* Hamilton and Dayton stock. While witness was in custody at | preos head- uarters in this city for a period of twenty-five oy he was only in a cell twice, and he was not treated like a prisoner. While there he agreed to mako a confession. B Mr. Brooke read to the witness portions of his testimony given in the case of Christopher Meyer, and Woodruff acknowledged that he committed perjury at that trial, These state- ments were taken down by a stenographer at the time and corrected, ‘Some of them had been signed by Woodruff. Witnessadmitted to Mr. Brooke ‘THAT HE HAD PERJURED HIMSELF in the Netter case, District Attorney Fellows promptly protested against Lawyer Brooke asking Woodruff if he was to expect immunity from punishment if he ave evidence against Ives, Col. Fellows said that nothing emanated from his oftice which could give that impression. Mr. Brooke then threatened to put a representative of the t attorney’s office on the stand. etter dated October 17, 1887, from Wood- ruff to Ives, which Mr. Brooke said would show the former was not such a slave to the latter as he pretended he was, was not admitted in e' dence. Another letter from Woodruff to Ives was read. in which Woodruff told his partner that until he made his “compromise” he would keep outof the way. ‘lis one was dated February 19, 1889. The witness said he com- mitted perjury under Ives’ instructions. Woodruif reiterated what he had sworn to about Ives tracing Christopher Meyer's initials nile holding a paper against a window pane in : se, ‘The first time this was men- n Woodruff told the story to As- sistant District Attorney Parker at Police head- quarters, Stayner had told witness, after the latter had made an unsuccessful attempt to get a bond of §250.000 for the faithful performance his duties, that a bond was not necessary, Witness received $3,000 per annum and from 2,000 to $5,000 from Ives & Co. He said he was a member of the Dutch Reformed church at the time he committed the forgeries. This finished the examination of Woodruff. ROBERT B, SMITH, ONE OF IVES’ CLERKS, wassworn. He had worked for Ives since 1895, Part of that time he was assistant cashier. Witness remembered the purchase in the spring of 1836 of a block of Cincinaati, Hamilton and Dayton stock—6,000 shares, It was bought in Cincinnati and the firm was informed of the purchase thro broker. Alter this Ives and Stayner arrived in the ofice and Ives threw a bunch of 6,000 certificates on the desk in the cashier's cage with the remark that it was part of the control of the road, The witness noticed that they were all made out in the name of Ives’ employes and some of the cer- tificates showed as high as 250 shares, but tho majority were for only 100 shares. It was en- tered under date of June 21—the day of receipt. At the evening session the witness (Smith) identified a number of cert: plained the entries in the stock book. witness there was an increase in Cinc t Hamilton and Dayton stock in 1837. One day during that year Ives took from the cashier's es 00 ‘shares and although they were 1 to him on the blotter he never made any return for them, Cross-examined by Mr, Brooke: Smith left the employ of Ives & Co. on August il, the day of the failure. He admitted that it was a com- mon thing for other brokers as well as Ives & Co, to make ont stocks in the names of their clerks. The stocks handed to him by Ives were understood to belong to the firm, | Theodore 'T, Nevins, late cashier of the firm, | Was called, fe suid his salary as cashier was | =4,000 a year, His testimony was similar to that of Smith, the previous witness, He suid Ives had never asked him to make false entries, and the business o/ the firm appeared to "be conducted according to the rules of the street. E. 8. Steinan, a clerk with Kuhn, Loeb & Co., bankers, testified to aloan being made upon Hilm McGowan & Co., of £52,000 sterling on 2.500 shares of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton stock offered by Ives & Co. as collateral, it was subsequently transferred in Cincinnati, The loan was for sixty days. Kubn, Loeb & Co. had no direct transactions with Ives & Co., fee their business was done through another ouse, ee FRANKLIN’S CONDITIONED GIFT. He Left £1,000 to Philadelphia in 1790 to be Invested and Spent in 1890. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, There is every indication thata big public bath will shortly be erected in this city from money donated many years ago by Benjamin Franklin ané John Scott. One hundred thous- and dollars will probably be expended on it. The “fatherof electricity” left by his will, dated April 23, 1790, £1,000 to be used by the city in the best manner deemed possible and in 1816 John Scott left $4,000, which was to be devoted tothe same purpose as desired by Franklin. These trusts are both in charge of the board of directors of city trusts, of whom the active members are Prothonotary Mann and Director of Public Works Wagner. These two officials have lately been giving the legacies consider- able thought and discussion. In his will the great philosopher left £2,000 steriing, one-half to Boston and the other to Philadelphia. He had great ideas as to what the money would amount fo with the lapse of a century, For instance, he desired the money to be loaned to married artificers under the age of twenty- five years at 5 per cent per annum in sums not exceeding £60 sterling. The document went on to state that “if this plan is executed, and succeeds as projected without interruption for one hundred years, the sum will then be £131,000,” Continuing, the great philanthropist writ “T would have the managers of the donation lay out, at their discretion, £100,000 in public ks which may be judged of most general utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, nqueduets, public buildings, bath pavements or whatever may make living in th town more convenient to its people and re- sorting hither for health or temporary re: dence. The remaining £31,000 I would have continued to be let out at interest for another hundred years.” ‘These provisions applied to the sum left to Boston as well Philadelphia, But in the case of our city he also empowered the mana- gers of the fund to spend at the end of the first hoeeyt a part of the £100,000 in bringing by pipes the water of the Wissahickon creek into the town. Philedelphia artiticers did not come forward to borrow the money, however, and the expected “131,000 pounds sterling” have not been realized at the close of this the appointed century. Instead, the principal amouais to about $80,000, yielding an income of $5,000 a year, The Scott fund amounts to about $30,000, making in all 110,000. Messrs, Mann arid Wagner have concluded to ask the solicitors of the board of city trusts how they can go about rae $100,000 of this sum for the purpose of building the big bath proposed. The other $10,000 they propose to put aside for another century at com id in- cure from the political party ef our affiliation 9 fair share in its AERIAL NAVIGATION, A Germantown Man Who Proposes Crossing the Ocean in 36 Hours. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Charles P. Fest of Stenton and Wyoming avenues, Germantown, has spent a lifetime in trying tosolve the problem of acrial navigation, having during the past forty years experi- mented with over 150 balloons, He believes that his hopes are now about to be realized in this particular direction, having recently in- vented and constructed a new device, which he thinks will meet with all the requirements, ‘The invention is entirely the work of his own brain and hands, The balloon, while differing in minor points of construction and shcpe is essentially an ordinary such as is commonly used for gas inflation. addition there is s device consisting of a network of cords, ed with a view of collapsing the bag when the internal pressure is lowered. The entire weight is suspended from the lower ends of the cords, which are al! united outside the summit of the balloon. Arranged around the horizontal equator at proper distances are ® number of conical orifices, which may be opened or closed at pleasure and from which hotair is expelled with a view of directing the aerial machine in the desired course. Within the cone is a spiral projection to cause the iasuing hot air to assume a rotary direction. THE MOTIVE POWER. The heating or motive power is produced by @ flame, created by the burning of gasoline contained in cans on the outside of the hoop. Small pi, running from these receptacles connect with a larger pipe, which is attached to the perpendicular pipe running through the center of the balloon. The flame is increased or decreased by a slight turn of a spiggot, and herein lies one of the principal features of the air ship. The steering device consists of two wings, bisecting each other in the center at right angles, and arranged upon the same movable axis, so that the rudder may be placed in any desired position to assist in directing the course of the ship, TRIP OF THE “SUSANNA ELIZABETH.” Mr. Fest has made a balloon containing the above devices which he has named “The Phenix.” It is constructed of manilla paper and is 10 fect in diameter. When inflated it will contain 623 cubic feet of hot air. It is the intention of the inventor to set it free the first evening that the weather is comparatively mild, His name and address is printed ou the cans and woodwork of the balloon in several | places, so that if any one secures the air ship | after it descends the inventor can be uwtified | of its location. The inventor, now feeling confident that he has accomplished the object of his life, which was secured ouly by great perseverence, pa- tience and the loss of over $7,000 in the way of experiments on his hobby, will make prepar: tions to send up his mammoth air ship “Su- nna Elizabeth,” named after his wife, which is expected to cross the ocean in thirty-six hours, Mr. Fest stated to a representative of the Jn- for that he has no fears whatever but that is air ship will land safely on the other side of the ocean, It will be 37 fcet in diameter and contain 25,811 cubic feet of hot air.
