It was claimed that Gilbert was turning in a fire alarm and that Donovan ap; on the scene, pulled him away from the box and struck him. Fol- lowing this the were preferred by Sergt. Montgomery. Donovan then asked for nine days’ leave of absence, saying he intended to resign at the expiration of his leave, but instead of doing so he brought the charges against the sergeant. Today his case was heard before the trial board. Policeman Sutton. whose name is mentioned in the affidavit, says that the statement con- cggning him is false, and Sergt. Montgomery | denies the statements made against him. Lieut. Amiss said that if the charges made by Donovan were true he ought to be dismissed, as by bis own statement he was bribing one of | his superior officers to secure his leniency. He, | however, did not believe there was a word of | truth in the statement made by Donovan and | so faras he was concerned he would recom- mend that the sergeant be not tried unless some strong corroborative proo! The decision of the trial board in Donow case, tried today, will probably not be made | public for several days. Maj.

Root of Medina, Ohio, continued the discussion of his paper begun last night on “Self Hivers.”” BEES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS. Mr. Frank Benton of this city read a lengthy paper on “Varieties of Bees and Their Charac- teristics.” Mr. Benton is an enthusiast upon the subject of bee raising and has devoted years of study and observation to the care of bees. Mr. Ben- ton has traveled all over Europe in his studies of the habits of foreign bees and has extended his trips even into the jungles of India. In his paper today he described the habits of the different varieties of bees that he saw in his travels, He pictured at length the manner of handling the bees, their temperaments and their availability for use in this country. Upon the conclusion of Mr, Benton's paper a recess was taken forlunch. Assistant Secretary Willets of the Agricultural Department, who wak present, invited the delegates to visit that department. THIS AFTERNOON'S SESSION. The meeting reconvened at 2 o'clock, when Mr. P. H. Elwood of Starkville, N. ¥., read a paper on “What the Department of Agriculture ought to do for Apiculture,” and was followed by Prof. C. V.

The turnout was se- cured for #200. —_— Surgeon Dickson Divorced. Yesterday the divorce case filed on October 17 last by Surgeon Samuel H. Dickson against Mary M. Dickson was ended in the Equity Court by Justice Bradiey signing a decree divorcing the complainant from the bonds of matrimony. The cause for the divorce does not appear on the docket and under the direc- tion of the court the papers have been care- fully guarded from the public eye and it can only be surmised from the fact that Dr. Dick- son and two friends found Mrs. Dickson and young Englishman named Carter in a room the National Hotel in the early part of Oc- tober last.

The sum is understood to be €1,000,000, but the | exact figures are not given out. For the last | two months the trustees of the university have | been endeavoring to persuade Mr. Rockefeller | | togive them €2,000,000 in order to carry out some | of their cherished plans, The New York capi- | talist objected to giving that sum outright, but submitted a proposition for a vast sum to be given, providing certain plans which he sug- gested be carried out. This proposition was | submitted to the trustees and accepted, Mr. Rockefeller’s proposition to the Univer- sity of Chicago was as follows: NEW YORK, December 23.

ROCKEFELLER. ‘This is Mr. Rockefeller’s fourth great sub- scription to the university. The first was made in May, 1889, for the purpose of founding an institution of learning in Chicago. The amount was $600,000. The second was made in Sep- tember, 1890, for the purpose of enlarging the scope of the institution. The amount of this subscription was €1,000,000. The third was made in February of the present year for fur- ther endowment of the university. and the terms of the subscription were “1,0005 per cent bonds of the par value of €1,000 each” The fourth is for the same amount as the third and in similar interest-bearing securities, With the single exception of $1,000 given for the erection of divinity dormitory Mr. Rocke- feller’s subscriptions have ee made for the yurpores of endowment. consti- ae permanent fund, to be my forever in- tact. The income only may be expended, and no part of this may be used in paying for grounds or erecting buildings or making re- pairs on any part of the university equipment. President Harper of the Chicago University arrived in N York yesterday. In an inter- view relative to Mr. Rockefeller’s million-dollar gift to the university, he said: “Of course we are delighted with our Christmas gift, and I think it is about the biggest on record. Mr. Rockefeller has been kind to the Chicago Uni- versity, and we think it especially grateful that a citizen of the city of New York should dis- y such munificence toward an educational titution in the city of Chicago. The endow- | ment and the vaiue of lands, buildings and | other property of the university now amount | to about $7,000,000. Mr. feller bas given | #3,600,000. .” continued Mr. Harper, “to ime buildings as one sees at Oxford or Cambridge. The university is being built in the most massive and imposing style. At present we have three dormitories, a lecture ball anda gymnasium, and 600 students and nineteen professors and tutors.” —ea iY HER Panewre. hier tate residence, ¥ Fradav.
