THE QUESTION OF INSURANCE OF BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY DEBATED — GRADUATION CERTIFI- CATES RECOMMENDED FOR FIGHT GRADE SCHOOLS-—CHANGES IN TEACHERSUIPS, ETC. wat brought to the attention of the school board at the meeting last evening. A comma- nication was reccived from the District Com- missioners transmitting an extract from the | forthcoming report of the commissioner of | edneation, which the latter had sent to the Commissioners relative to the introduction | and practical working of the school savings | bank system. It is stated in the report that in | thirty-tive towns these savings banks are in | operation, representing 758 scbools and 1,065 | wehool eavings banks. Of a total of 54.757 pu- | pily in aztendance 20,974 are depositors, and the deposits a:onnt to $ 76. It is claimed | for this system thet it is educational, teaching the children to save. The money contributed |by the pupils is deposited in some savings | bank. Mr ruce said this was » matter of great rtance to those interested in the advanc tof the schools and be would move that special committee of five, of which the presi- dent of the board be a member, be appointed to take this matter under consideration and re- port to the board. The motion was adopted | and the members of the committee will be an- nounced by the president. NIGHT SCHOOL TEACHERS, Mr. Cornish, from the committee on night schools, offered the following resolution: “Teachers of night schools being paid for their | Services rendered per night, the following rule ix adopted by the board school the teacher must in ail cases provide # substitute. If the substitute is not provided by the teacher, then the teacher in charge of the school will provide a substitute, who shall | receive the pay of the regular teacher for every night so serving.” Adopted. Mr. Cornish also reported favorably arequest from Mr. Hill, the teacher in charge of manual training. suggesting that the tools used in these schools be insured. A QUESTION OF INSURANCE. The question was asked whether the farni- ture and other contents of school buildi was insured and it was stated that the insur- ance only covered the buildings. It was the opinion of Mr. Mitchel! that the | valuable property in the school buildings ought to be insured as well as the buildings. Superintendent Powell contributed to the | discussion by saying that some of the mem- | bers of Congress thought that the government | might as well insure its own buildings: that 4s, not put insurance on them at all. He said that the insurance on school buildings was very low—only one-tenth of 1 per cent—and was awarded by contract. The resolution was referred to the District | Commissioners. GNADUATION CERTIFICATES. | Mr. Cornish also offered a resolution provid- | ing for the issue of certificates to those gradu- ating from the eighth grade schools requesting it. He gave as a reason that some of the eighth grade graduates entered the High School, but did not complete their course and that a ce cate would be of value to them in securing employment. Superint When absent from lent Powell said that the issue of tes had been discontinued be- cause it was thought that tuey were of no use to the pupils. However, wien a pupil asked for a certificate it was issued. Mr. Cornish said that his only object in in- troducing the resolution was to bring out the fact that the certificates could be obtained if they were desired. CHANGES IN TRACHERSHIPS.

When Chinamen appear in the Police Court in eases involving charges of personal violence they are usually on the side of the prosecution, but when Ju Chou appeared yesterday he was ac- cused of having assaulted a colored man named George W. Bowles. ‘Ihe Chinaman conducts alaundry on the first floor of a frame house corner of 5th and I strects northwest and sleeps in a small bunk built in the back room. Bowles and another colored man live on the upper floor and until a short time ago they were on good terms. Sunday night when Chou returned home he found the front dgor locked and he did not succeed in i im until he had aroused Bowles Finding the door locked so exasperated him that he used a smoothing iron on Bowles’ face, cutting him about the left e; and he in turn struck the Chinaman in the eye with his fist, causing a discoloration which was plainly visible this morning Ju admitted his guilt and in addition to his complaint about ‘the door he said that one of his chickens was Killed ten days ago, Judge Miller fined the celestial $1 and = advised bim and Bowles to separate sve et Thinks She Was Poisoned. Dora Harris,a colored woman, acting the part of a law-abiding individual, went to the house of Sophie Viers, also colored, Sunday night tose- cure evidence for the police, who suspected the Viers woman of sell ing liquor without a licenso. Dora lives at No. 349 Wilson street in the county, and Sophie is one of her neighbors. Dora procured a drink, so it is claimed, aud soon afterward she was taken violently ill, dis- playing symptoms, of Dr. Wintors was to see the woman and he found ber in a precarious condition.

Jones to first grade aud | WILL SOON BE OR “HAS BEEN.” The Russian Minister of Finance Will Prob- ably Soon Bo Allowed to Retire. It is learned on good authority that the pres- tige of M. Vishnegradsky, the Russian minister of finance, has of late been greatly shaken and that he has become exceedingly unpopular among the merchants and other commercial | classes, who now perceive that the temporary | improvement in the finances has been cffected at their expense. The health of this minister | is also much shattered, and there is little doubt that he will retire if the ezar gives him por- mission. The failure of the crops has been a terrible blow to his schemes, and many of his finest plans have been shatyred by this na- tional calamity. ‘The failure of the crops has not been ani- | versal. Inthe Caucasus the harvest was so | undant that grain is still rotting at the sta- tions for want of rolling stock to carry it aw: The government has tried to remedy this dra back by sending over 2.000 trucks south, but these will not be sufficient. There is much reason to suppose that there will be a famnine next year also. The autumn wheat has been seriously injured by the rain and it is very probable ‘that the spring crops will turn out no better than they did this year. Indeed, the outlook in Russia is very gloomy and every one is preparing for a very sad | | winter | The political horizon is also much overeast, especially since the czar passed through Ger- | | many without endeavoring to return the visit | of Emperor William. — It was at first supposed that this was due to family reasons and the sick- | | ness of the ¢ Duke George.

The court room in Brooklyn, in which Dar- | win J. Meserole was put on trinl yesterday for | murder, was thronged with a curious crowd of people. ‘The prominence of those interested, aswell as the attractive appearance of Mrs. | Dovie Forney Comstock, added interest to the |trial. ‘The prisoner, who is charged with the jmurder of Theodore Larbig in Mra, Com- | stock's flat last June, is the son of Gen. J. V. | Meserole, an important man in Brooklyn. He | had been a colonel of the forty-seventh rezi- | ment and brigadier general of the second bri gale of the National Guard, and is at present | president of the Williamsburg Savings Rank. ‘The prisoner, his son, who is twenty-seven years old, has been in business as a broker since | |his majority. He made the acquaintance of | Mrs. Comstock last summer and afterward | | livea with her. | ‘The day on which the murder ocurred he | accompanied her to the races, and in the even | ing, when he visited her flat, found there Theo- | dore Larbig. a traveling salesman for a Provi- | | dence wire company, with a wife and chikiren | in Brooklyn. Meserole took off bis coat and on the bed to rest. His story is that Larbig | brutally beat the woman, and that he was not strong enough to protect her with hs hands; therefore he shot the intruder. Mra. Ce stock's face was much bruised at the timeof iier | rrest.but the bruises had disappeared when she me into the court house yesterday morning She was accompanied by her uncle,Col. Forne; of Washington. She isa blonde, plump and | chic. She was dressed in a suit of Scoteh goods, a turban and snastrakbancloak. She had been | the wife of « wealthy Providence man till about | four years ago, when he secured a divorce from | her on statucory grounds, She then went to | Brooklyn to live. She 1s described as dashing and comely, and | had inherited much of er father's property j and a good deal of his polish. When sue en- tered the court room a seat was provided ! for her by the side of the prisoner and his father. ‘ihe case opened with a recital by the dis- trict attorney of the story of the murder. He said that Larbig had furnished a flat and paid Dovie's expenses, and that, therelore, there could not be ery friendly feeling between Larbig man who seemed to gain so much woman.

Bath, Me., was filled with visitors to view the launching of the United States gun boat Machias yesterday afternoon from the yard of the Bath iron works. Every possible point from which asight of the first iron craft to be launched into the Kennebee could be obtained was taken long before the event, and cameras took snap shots from every side, The gathering was b; far the largest that ever witnessed the laun ing of a vessel in the state. Secretary Tracy was unable to be present. Miss Ethel, the daughter of Gen. Hyde, broke the bottle of champagne over the bow and christened the new gun boat the Machias as the ways were posted and she began to glide | slowly into the Kenuebec. ‘Two tugs took her | in charge and she was soon back ut the iron works, She will be fitted for service by July. Her sister cratt will not je launched before Mareh. —-~ see. Shot Their Stepfather. Sheriff H. G. Shanks of Shawncetown, IIL, ar- rested Misses Carrie and Belle Forester of non county, Tenn., on a charge of shooting with intent to kill The mother of the young ladies recently married # man at Shawneetown named Thompson, and they left home and lived with their brother-in-law. A week ago they met Thompson, who wasdrank, and he attacked them. He kuocked Miss Belle Forester down and was about to shoot her when her sister wrenched the revolver from his hands and turned it on him. He was wounded three times and probably intally injured. ‘The girls fled to an uncle’s in Cannon county, where they were arrested. ——— France and the Bishops. As was predicted at the conclusion of the trial of the archbishop of Aix at Paris, the questions arising from that trial threaten to make trouble for the government. A French cabinet meeting was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the impending ques- tions growing out of the attitude of the clergy. It was decided that M. Fallierree, minister of justice and public worship, should announco to the chamber of deputies that the government intends to keep the bishops and clergy within the limits of their functions, but that there was no question of the separation of church and state. Her Husband's Act Drove Her to Suicide. Mrs. Mary Lewis, wife of Richard P. Lewis, traveling agent of the United States Glass Com- pany, attempted suicide with chloroform at the St. Charles Hotel, Pittsburg, yesterday after- noon, but was discovered in time and resusci- tated. Mr. Lewis filed a libel in divorce yes- terday, charging his wife with infidelity, and her reason for the uttempt upon her life was at she could not live without her husband. ‘The latter hat he found letters in his wife's bureau implicating veveral prominent persons. Mrs. Lewis was formerly of Cincin- nati, and her mother, Mrs. Lelah Sprowl, who is still living in that city, has been notified of her daughter's attempted suicide. pa. yeti rie a A U. S.

J., on Thursday last has resulted in the arrest of the conductor and engineer of the train which obstructed the course of the New York express. Both men were lodged in jail at Trenton to await the | action of the grand jury on the charge of manslaughter. The verdict of the coroner's jury was as follows: That the three persons killed met their death by acollision on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad near Pennington on the evening of December 3, and that Robert Riley, conductor, and Lewis W.

A romantic seque! to the famous Nutt-Dukes tragedy of Uniontown, Pa., of nine years ago will taxe place today in the marriage of Miss Lizzie Nutt to Mr. Samuel Krepps of Brow: ville.

Will- iam Nutt,cashier of the state treasury, had been shot and killed by Lyman Dukes, a member- lect of the state legislature. Dukes, who was to marry Capt. Nutt'sdaughter Lizzie, cast aspersions on the young lady's char- acter, and her father had called him to account. Dukes claimed that Nutt tried to shoot him, and he, in self-defense, killed his assailant. Public opinion was entirely with the Nutts, but after a memorable trial- Dukes was ac- quitted. The judge denounced the verdict aud indignation ran high. A shost time later James Natt, a brother of Lizzie, shotand killed Dukes on the street. Cpe Nutt was tried in Pittsburg and acquitted.
