Y The Victim Engaged to the Brother of Her Slayer. ODD FEATURES OF THE CASE. Burrato, ¥., June 19.—Details of the death of Bridget Ryan near Hinsdale, N. Y., have been received. Miss Ryan owned a valua- Die farm and hired three brothers, William, Gus and David Willover, to work it for her. Early yesterday morning Dr. Vincent of Hinsdale was awakened by David Willover who, trembling with excitement, informed the physician that Miss Ryan bad been shot. The dactor accompanied the boy to the Ryan house, where the woman was found on the floor dead, though her body was still warm. She was partly dressed, and in her left breast was an ugly wound. Lying near her was an old rifle, which bore evidence of having been dis- charged, and investigation showed that the terrible wound in the woman’s body had been produced by it. A-search of the house was made and tho fol- lowing unsigned note was found: “You need not think she killed herself, for she did not. I know she sold some hay, and thought I would get the money. She said she had not been paid for it yet. but I knew she had and killed her.” Back of a picture on the wall a pocket book containing €20 wasfound. This was evidently what the murderer was after. $ Gus Willover has disappeared from Hinsdale and is naturally suspected of the crime. Some advances theory of suicide and say the woman wrote the note and then shot herself. ‘There were bloody finger marks on the outsi of the door and on some boards piled up near the gate, and there 1s little doubt that the Woman was foully murdered. ‘Thirty vears ago her father was murdered in the same house, Gossips say that Miss Rvan was engaged to be married to Wm. Willover, who was recently sent to the Erie county penitentiary for burg- lary. ‘The boys all bore bad reputations. Sa DEPOSITORS WILL BE PAID. ‘The Bank of New Hanover, N.

The custom of locking doors was not to lock daughters from the parent, but for protection. Had the defendant committed the crime sho would not have given an alarm so soon. The defendant's emotion at the discovery of the crime was not assumed. Family cickness, de- fendant’s conduct before the murders and her Visit to the cellar afterward were no evidence of a@ guilty mind, The burning of the old things was a custom in many houses aud the burning of the Bedford cord dress was thus explained. ‘Ths dress worn on the morning of the murder was not changed till noon.

Robinson began speaking shortly after 9 o'clock. ‘The defendant was present and listened intencly to every word. As is usually the case, sive io kind words and his pathetic references to berself. Gov. Robinson opened with wm graphic de- scription of the crime. He turned to the jury at one point and aid: “Tho finding of Judge Biaisdeli of the district conrt in Fall River, worthy man as ho may be, is of no sort of con™ sequence here and has_no sort of influence oF obligation over you. We wor not be safe if In these great crises our lives hinged upon the decision of a single man ina prejudiced and | excited community. No, we walk away from iRiver, we come down to the broad sea- shore, we sniff the breozes of the sea and there is freedom; here is right; here are you gentle- men.” The eloquent speaker urged that it was physically and morally impossible for Lizzie to have committed the crimes. He paid a generous tribute to Mr. Knowlton’s shrewdness | by reecgnizing his great popularity in the county ftom wiich the jurymen were drawn, “With his well-earned ‘reputation and his high standicg at the bar he would have no need | to search for laurels for his fame, aud ho is one | of the last men that wouid demean himself #0 as even to think of it, He stands above the miserable assertions that unthinking people will make, and he waiks into this court room onty as ihe representative of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, yours and mine and his, and says gentlemen, all [ have io show you is the ease we have against this woman, And if the case I have had brought to me by the Fall River | police is not suilicient, ory: about it he will say, if he speaks what his heart | prompts him to utier, For God's sake, eay 80 | like men, and Brintol county will be the happicr | | and the securer afterward Gov.

The Common Branches Not Slighted in Our Public Schools, AN ENGLISH EXHIBIT. A Graphic Representation at the Franklin Building of the Mental Training of the Children in the Public Schools of the City—From Big and Little. Te Perhaps now more than any time during the Year the attention of the public is called to the public schools of our city. The last day is near asthand and on Wednesday the schools will be closed for the summer holidays. In the house- holds where there are children attending the Public schools, and that comprises practically all the households of the city where there are children of a school age, the topic of interest is the schools and the closing exer- cives. The head of the hons who is apt to hand over the responsibility for the education of his children to the school authori- ties at least for the greater portion of the year, and gives his entire attention to other matters, is at this season conscious that there is such an institution as the public schools. He gets this idea from the talk he hears at home from the youngsters, and also his attention is attracted by articles in Taz Stan which, as has been its custom for years past, gives what is going on in the schools. PROMINENT BECAUSE RATHER NOVEL. There are certain picturesque features of modern education whichare apt to be written up at length in detail, and it would not be surpris- ing if the burried man of affairs shonld get an idea that the schools were mainly devoted to giving instruction in these speciallies. Sach a man is inclined to the idea that 2 good deal of attention is paid to what is known as manual training. The products of the carpenter shop, the machine shop, the sewing and cooking school are given a good deal of prominence, and no doubt some of the children in their talk at home convey the impression to parental ears that the ‘training of their hands is the main occupation of the public schools. Ofcourse such an impression could only be made on the casual observer of the methods of instruction adopted in the public schools. Any ‘one who has taken an intelligent interest in our public schools realizes the relative importance Of these useful features. As has been stated in Tax Sran, an exhibition has been opened in the large hall of the Frauk- lin school building, where may be seen some of the results of the manual instruction given to the childron. Manual training is by no means fad that dominates the public schools. ‘This fact is demonstrated by an exhibition which is being arranged in the large room in the same building, which has been set apart for the teachers’ library. Here may be seen the progress which is made by each pupil in the schools in the acquisition of the three branches which used to be known as the three R's, In former years, and it has not been long aco, either, that was the extent of the education that was given. Now that other branches have been added it is showa that the instruction in reading. writing and arithmetic isnot being neglected. In fact, it is claimed that better nnd more thorough instruction in the English branches is given now than ever before. AN INTERESTING EXuIBIT. What is meant by this claim will readily be seen by a visit to tho English exhibit, as it may be termed, which will be ready for inspection in a day or two. Arranged on iablex which are senttered around the room are specimens of the work of every child in the public echools, Be- ginning with the first grade aud ending with | the High School u graphic representation is is exhibit of tho mental develop- t of the children of the public school ‘The little tots in the first grade, who lea read and to write before their parents r: that they know their letters, begin at once to express in language their thoughts, Of coarse they don’t know mach about hope or ambition or love or any of those abstract motives which do so much to PerPlex and complicate life in after years, and so they are not asked to ex- ress their ideas on these interesting themes. Bot they do know whats peach 80 they are set to work to say something about | these familiar objects. It may not seem mach | for a child to write that a plum is roand and smoothand that if he has four and gives Susie two he will have but two left. But when it considered that the child sits down and ex- presses in good English its ideas about the fruit or the flower, and thus cultivates the faculty of writing about what he or she knows, then these little papers with the characters very much up and down and ver: haps a little strags dropped out here an nificance. ¥ round, and per~ and perhaps a letter ere, assume m d th ‘The chil to nd then stops.

It is amusing to note that they are not satis- fied with the statement that two from four will leave two, but they give the mathematical formula, which is simple enouzh, and furthe: | illustrate choir theme by drawing a pictnre of | four plums and then of two plums in groups to show the division which would occur in the | event that Susie received her share. They thus begin in the first year of their course | to learn to draw such objects as may be set before them. ‘Tho same practical idea runs through the paper exhibited na the work of the pupils” in the other grades. ‘The theme, of course,becomes more complex as the child progresses, ‘but there is the same | Power to express clearly in good Engiish the ideas that occur on a given subject. ‘There is no attempt made to have the pupils write on something that doas not come within the range of their daily studies. Afier a while with this training, when they get out in the world and | have some experience with ambition or hatred or the art of war or of arbitration, and if they feel called upon to say something on such themes then the training which they are now receiving to express their thoughts intelligently and clearly will be of great use. But just now all tho children know | Principally is what they see in ihe conerot ‘hey know about flowers and fruits and anitnals, and thoy are cultivating the habit of express. ing what they know. Wnen a littie girl or boy five or six yeara of age uses the word calyx or | stamen in writing about flowers it ix because they are just as familiar with those words as they are with the words cat and dog. PRACTICAL THEMES. | It is interesting to follow along these tables | Just as yon would watch the course of a devel- oping human life and see the varios stages of progress. They are ail as clearly defined in these papers as if the childron were before you. But the system of training remains the same, and the same practical principle underlies the whole. In every grade the pupils write about | that with which they are familiar, and when the work of the last “year's scholar in the High School is reached the prose in its vigor and ri all involve ! Tank there efforts ina grade with the writings | which grace tho pages of our best periodical | literature. That is one thing that. this | exhibition of the work of our public schools is designed to show. Not that it is consilered thai the highest aim of a public school course is of our leading magazines, but it is to dem- ‘the teachers are not | carried away by fads of what uot, but that now, +o it is claimed, better thau in the ‘past, the ‘hildren are trated in the knowledge of En- glish and ‘are put in the way to the mastery of ‘their mother tongue for the uses of life. In some of the bigher grades scieniific studies | | ar» pursued where Inboratory work is done and Xperimeats are made the pupils choose thess | subjects for the theme of their essays. When some trial of the imaginative powers is given the pupils write some story describing the life boy writes about the life and e: | boot black he probably knows what he ts talk- ing about or else he is giving rein to hie imagination and telling about some fictitious boy which is equally useful.

Had delivered five wagon loads of sand. Had seen no other sand at the building. JAS. A. CORNOR. Jas. A. Connor, a reporter on the Post, said he bad interviewed Mr. Covert the day after the inquest. Had asked him who was responsible for the work done on the building. Covert had said that Col. Ainsworth was directly in charge. Witness bad interviewed Col. Ainsworth also and Ainsworth had said that the contract had been given to Dant, not because he was the lowest bidder, but because he was an expert. Covert bad also said that the clay foundation to the building was easily sufficient without rock. Both Brown and Covert had told wit- ness that the order about running down stairs had len given without any regard to any dan- ger of the building. ME. TWEEDALE RECALLED, Mr. Tweedale was recalled and in answer to Mr. Warner said the fecling among the clerks generally in the War Department was in oppo- sition to going to the records and pension building. ‘He thought this arose from the feel. ing that a large docreaso in this force was im- minent. Did not think it arovo from any feel- bureau. Had heard but though: these clerks were in the minority Witness knew personally little about Mr. Pot- ter's dismissal, Some papers were given Mr. Tweedule, who read them. ‘The papers showed that Potter had a standing above the average. Another pay showed the statement as made by the War Fartment that Potter was discharged fe ciency, and the inquest at this pomt adjourned until 2'o'clock. After Recess. This afternoon the first witness was Mr. J. M. Cammack. He con-iderd the Rosendale cement sold to Mr. Dant was first-class of ite kind. It Was a magnesium cement and alow in hardening. Could not tell from Jooking at the specimens from the Ford's building how much cement there w in it, t tell whether there was any cement or t. The wual vroportion for mixing Rosendale is 0.0 part of cement to two of sand. Such 4 proportion would be much harder than the specimens. ‘his would depend somewhat on whether it wax the first or second setting. In three months Rosendale would set as hard as Portland cement After twenty years’ ex- perience he did not know that fresh cemont was better than old cement. Witness did not think there was a knowledge of cements among buildera, Ae a ruie, builders want the cheapest article they can secure. Would think that Cumber- A have been better for purpose, but at the end of three months the two wor!d be equally strong, but the magnestum seix slower. Good cement after setting well should bear @ pulling strain of forty pounds to the square inch. Me did not care even to guess as to the strength of the rambling specimens submitted to him, Frederick Lottas, a son of the man who was Killed and on whom the inquest was being held, told of the last time he saw his father and how and when he was removed from the ill-fated-stracture.
