Thomas Walker, a young colored man who is employed at the Exchange Hotel,was arraigned in the Police Court yesterday afternoon on a charge of forging the name of his employer, Patrick Moore, to a check for $12, which, it was charged, he got cashed at Havenner’s bakery. The prisoner. who looks like he is nearly dead with consumption, denied the charge and said that another man named Perry, who works at the same hotel, went to Havenner's foran order of crackers last Friday and that he (Walker) did not go. Judge Miller asked Mr. Moore what kind of a looking man Perry was and Moore said he re- sembled the prisoner. Policeman Constantine went down to the ho- tel and brought Perry to court. ‘The testimony already heard was that the de- fendant got the check cashed when he ordered a barrel of crackers. Perry sid that he ordered.a barrel of erack- ers one day last week, and Mr. Moore said that he only got one barrei of crackers last week. The defendant said that he saw one of the bartenders, Mr. McCarty, give Perry a note. ‘The court finaliy held Walker for the action of the grand jury eerie Wuo is Tur Kxave or Cives? whe acne Gone to Albany Penitentiary.

The school board decided last night to close the schools for the Christmas holidays on the 23d of December and reopen them on January 5. The recommendations made by Superin- tendent Powell to establish twenty free kinder- gartens were discussed and were indorsed by resolutions of the board. Mr. Powell recom- mends an appropriation of $13,700 for addi- tional teachers necessary, 210,000 for rent of rooms, and $10,000 additional for the manucl training or contingent fund. With these amounts, he said, he could maintain twenty free kindergartens, each accommodating fort pupils or more.

Miller, formerly of the quartermaster's department and latterly a solicitor for a life insurance company, found that he was insane and incompetent to manage his affairs. After the testimony of » number of witnesses Mr. Miller took the stand and endeavored to con- vince the jury that he was capable of taking care of himeelf. He said that when he re- turned from the west in 1885 he was met at the depot by two officers in citizens’ dress and taken to a police station and detained from Monday to Thursday, when he was taken to | police headquarters. Thero one of the sur- felt is hend and said it ure bop and that | his eves were bright, and it was | he shoutd voluntarily go to the iusune hospital, | This he refused to do and he sued out a writ of habeas corpus and was taken be- | fore Judge Cartter. The doctors then objected | to his going free and asked who knew but that if let loose he would kill President Cleveland. Indge Cartter said he dien’t care it there were | hundred doctors, and as he (witness) had not | been adjudged imsne by a jury he was dis jcharged. He denied’ that he had ever a thought of killing a President. How could he kill President Arthur, for he “was a republican and so am He could not think of staining his hands in blood, for he had a soul to. save. As to letters, he read one he had received from Senator Edmunds, to whom he had appealed. He had been told that the chief of police was responsible for his being rsecuted. He had lived here since 1856 ond be had never had any designs on any one. DELUSIONS. In answer to Jurors Mr. Miller said the dela- sions of people talking to him were not so fre- quent as they had been, and that the pounding | he complained of was like stamping on the floor. He knew, however, that drugs were put in his food, for he could taste them, expecially in the coffee. He had never seen any of the | people throw the sun's rays on his head, but thought he saw a_man with a sun glass on 7th and H streets, jess didn't know wheth his proseentors were in the tlexh or in the spirit. When they used reflectors on him it was some time ag jnror suggested that he should change his boarding house and Mr. Miller replied that that would make no difference, for everywhere it was the same. He was a solicitor for the Met- ropolitan Life Insurance Company and all he asked was to be permitted to live here und at- tend to his business. ‘The jury found him to be insane and he was taken to the sixth precinct station, from whence he will be taken to the Government Insane Hospital.

A lib- | eral change in both these respects cannot be avoided much longer. It is beyond rea- son to expect that our present enlarged system can be properly supervised with the same corps which was merely adequate when the | number of pupils and schools was half the | present number. : “The year has beer one of steady progress in the face’ of all discouragements. Every de- partment of the system has given proof of its firm and sure foundation. Very few complaints come to the board from ny source and a grati- fying esprit du corps prevails among the teach- ing force. ‘The board would fail in the performance of | a very manifest duty did it not commend in the | strongest terms the skillful and laborious work of Supts. Powell and Cook and the very efti- cient service of the supervising principals.” CHANGES AMONG TEACHERS.
