Cases That Judge Miller Had to Try on Returning From His Vacation. “Husband and wife, your honor; glad to see you back,” were the words which grected Judge Miller upon his return to. the Police Court yesterday after a month's vacation. Lawyer Closs was calling the judge's atten- tion to Andrew Jackson, » colored man who was in the procession of United States prison- ers on ® charge of having committed an assault upon his wife, Mary Jackeon. The latter was called up and sworn in regular form. “Judge, your honor,” she said, “my husband beat me yesterday. The first time he struck mo I was down stairs.” “Did he burt you?” the court inquired. “Not much.” “How long have you been living with your husband?” “About two years.” “Are you still living together?” “Yes, sir.

The Rock Creck Park appraising commission continued its session yesterday afternoon in the court house. Mr. Joseph Paul on hiscross-examination by Mr. McKenney said that his idea was that the Rock Creek commissioners bought the Warden ‘The Great Army of Pupils tn the Public Schools, IRSUING TICKETS OF ADMIBSION—THE PROGRAM OF TEACHERS’ MERTINOS — ARRANGEMENTS FOR OPENING THE HION sCHOOLS—THE DIBTRIBU- ‘TIOX OF REX SCHOOL BOOKS. Next Monday the new year of the public schools will begin, and by Tuesday it is thought ‘that everything will be in fairly good runuing order. . The prospects are that the attendance will be larger than ever before, and accommo- dations have been made for upward of 38,000 pupils. In addition to these there will prob- ably be more than 2,500 pupils in the night schools, which will bring the grand total up beyond 40,000. The princi; of all the schools, except the Cchocs wore "present, this" morsing st High their respective buildings to issue tickets of a:i- mission to new pupils. They will be on hand | this afternoon from 4 to 6 and tomorrow from $to 10am. and from 4 to6 p.m. for the same | purpose. By far the larger proportion of the students | are from year to year by transfer. These will report for work on Monday, while the new pupils will not make their debut until y morning. FREE SCHOOL BOOKS. The novelty of this year's session is that in the first four grades the book lists will not be carried to the book stores, but the schools will | furnish the pupils with text books. This is rather in the nature of an expert- ment, and as the appropriation was not sufi- cient to furnish all the grades it was thought best to do everything thoroughly for the first four grades, and all the children have to do in those grades is to present themselves as sta- lente. The District now has over €25,000 worth of text books in these grades, all stamped with the evidence of the ownership of the District, and these will be loaned to upils who ap- ply for them, to be returned at the close of the session. ‘The custodian, Mr. Wm. Chinn, has been busy for days past, with the assistance of a corps from the manual training school, distributing this immense stock of books to the various | principals of division upon their requisitions. tract in order to establish values. “Why,” asked Mr. McKenney, “did you not take that sale asa basis?” ‘Mr. Paul: “I thought they paid too much.” ‘The commissioners have said they could not receive the evidence as to what was paid. Mr. Perry said he would be glad to have the testimony in, but while vome of the counsel wanted such testimony Mr. Lee had notified him that he would object to the question. ‘The commission ruled that the price could not be given and Mr. McKenney remarked he would not go further. Mr. Paul was examined as to how the sale of the Cummings and other tracts affected his judgment. Mr. Perry said that he would be glad to have the testimony in, but some of the counsel on, the other side disagreed with Mr. McKenney and would object. The commission ruled that the price could not be given and Mr. McKenney remarked that he wouid go no further. Mr. Paul was then questioned as to how cer- tain sales affected bis judgment. He did not think the establishment of the park would affect the real estate market and not so told Mr. Dyer. Messrs. T. A. Lambert, Rindall Hagner and Wm. Stone Abert cross-examined Mr. Paul till the hour of adjournment. This morning Mr. Paul was further cross-ex- amined by Messrs. Wm. Stone Abert and Blair Lee as to distances, the advisability of dividing up certain tracts, their value, &c. He was asked if the front of the Silver Spring property was worth $1,200 per uere what would be the value of the rear part, on which he puta valuation of $200. Mr. Paul said he could not raise whe figures. By Mr. Davis—It is difficult to tell how rail- roads will affect property. On 14th street ex- tended lote are held at $1.50 per foot and 2,000 feet distant at 20 cents. On 7th street near Schuetzen Park 75 cents to 1, and in Whit- ney Close, 800 feet away, 15 cents. On parcel 51 he had added about 33 per cent because of the railroad valuing it at $709 per acre. Par- cels 60 and 52, adjoining, he valued at $300. By Mr. Coleman—Wstness produced a mem- orandum of figures made from tiwe to time, but could not tell which was made at the first meeting with Messrs. Saunders and Truesdell. ‘The figures were made to prepare data to come before the commission. He assumed that he made figures and may have changed some at the second meeting. He could not point out which was made the first or second time, but showed some changes—€150 from #125 in’ one case, Shepherd from $300 to $350, Bradley from $600 to $550, #300 to $350, &c. ‘He made the changes after examining the ground. He did not aggregate the figures, nor did the others thatheknew of. Neveraggreguted the figures, but resumed they aggregated .ess than # million, Fore had beard'from Mr. Perry of some of the offers made by the commission. Messrs. ‘Truesdell and Saunders at the last meeting knew some of bis valuations. He could not tell within $1,000,000 the aggregate of the valuations. ‘Mr. Coleman, after witness said that he had made his valuations on sales in the vicinity of the park, asked if he learned of thirteen other sales of the same character of land in the same vicinity would he change his opinion. Witness answered that such would affect his opinion. After recess Mr. Paul said that he had invited Mr. Sands and Mr. Edson to his house when the valuations were discussed, and the latter attended one of the meetings. Witness was questioned as to who he had called on to give testimony and he named sev- eral, and was asked if Le was not mixed in this case, Mr. Perry objected and denied that there had en wrong done and warmly de- fended the government. Mr. Coleman claimed that they would show that Mr. Paul was in the employment of Mr. Glover. He, perhaps, should not have used the word hired. Witness’ cross-examination was continued, and he stated that he did not know that the ag- gates of Messrs. ‘Truesdell, Saunders aud Eis own valuations were from $670,000 down to $607,204. Mr. Perry objected and the answers were ruled out. Mr. Paul continued, saying that the fact that asphalt pavements might be needed in the park Wns not the basis of his intergst in the park. He did not know the aggregate of his valua- tions nor what had bevn paid by the govern- ment for that already taken. ‘Mr. Coleman read from the report of the Commissioners of the District, including the report of Capt. Simonds, recommending appropriation of $2,000,000 for 2,500 acres, and asked if Mir. Paul knew this. ki ‘Mr. Perry objected, and Mr. Coleman with- drew the question. He Was From a One-Eyed Family.

The branch schools at Capitol Hill and Georgetown and tho business school estab- have proved #o successful that the of | trustees has determined to increase the facilities for the coming year. During the summer the business school has been removed from the overcrowded ‘ihomson bnilding to the Franklin, at 13th and K streets, where it will oceupy nize rooms. New rooms, new teachers, new typewriters, new furniture and plenty of space promise well for the students. z The number seeking admission this fall is greater than Inst September, showing the rowing popularity of the course of study with th parents and pupils. At the Curtis building, in Georgetown, a new laboratory for work in physics has been fitted up, new apparatus purchased, skilled teachers employed, and here, as at Capitol, Hill work of the second year will be done in addition to that of the firsi, which alone was « ear. ‘This will nearly doub! oth schools. The Capitol Hill schoo! will be located, as heretofore, in the Peabody building until the new structure on the Wallach lot is third story, aud it promises to be March before it iscompleted. Ample accommodations will, however, be afforded in the meantime, and with a force of able teachers the success of the school is exsured. There have been numerous changes at the central High School On the carner of P and ith streets a new grammar school has been erected to accommodate the needs of the se: ond division. While this building is reco nized as a necessity, it will be looked at with but little favor by tho boys, from whom it takes a large slice of | play ground During the summer parts of the big Luilding have been renovated, the drawing rooms have all been kalsomined, new sinks have been added to the room for clay modeling, drawers and cupboards have been put into the chemical laboratory, new cases and furaiture have been added to the physics laboratory and a liberal supply of new apparatus purchased. in the corps of tench rs some resignations will be noted with regret—Miss Lathe, the assistant principal of the school for the past years, severed her connection with the school in June. Her place wiil be filled by Miss Reynolds, for the past two years one of the teachers of English. Dr. Buchanan, the assist- ant of the chemical teacher, has been put in charge of the chemical work’of the Capitol Hill school. Miss Lancy and Miss Enstman will be roplaced by Miss Morgan nd Miss Brosius. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE OPESING.
