There was an increased death rate in the city last week as compared with that of the week previous. The deaths as by .the reports received at the health department numbered 145, as against 121 by the last report. The death rate was accordingly 27.36. This is 3.7 above the normal. The principal causes producing this result were mainly summer complaints among children, from which 34 deaths ensued, and of con- sumption, of which 22 persons died. Of the total deaths, 71, or nearly one-half, were children under five years of age. Other than these, the range of diseases was con- fined mainly to those of the brain, heart and kidneys in about the normal degree. The meteorological conditions were very nearly parallel to those of the previous week. The whole seven days were either cloudy or partly cloudy, with a dry atmos- phere, parting with but .08 of an inch of rain. The highest heat was 90 degrees, on the 21st, and the lowest 61 degrees, on the 25th, giving a range of 20 degrees. Diphtheria ended in 2 deaths, while 6 new cases were reported; placards removed from 3 hcuses, leaving 6 in quarantine. No death nor new case of scarlatina was re- ported; 1 house was released from tsola- tion, leaving 5 still placarded. PROF. LAYTON’S REQUEST.

Coomes, one of the best known master painters and decorators of this city, died this morning at his resi- dence, No. 1216 Sth street northwest, after a long illness. Although Mr. Coomes had not reached his sixtieth year, he had been in business for forty years, and for a long time had been regarded as one of the most expert men of his craft in the country. Mr. Coomes some years since associated his son, Chas. S. Coomes, with him in business, and since that time the firm has been known a: Coomes & Co. Besides his son, the do- ceased leaves a widow. He was a member of the Master Painters’ Association, Bulld- ers’ Exchange and the Veteran Voluntcer Firemen’s Association. —————.—__ For Sale and Partition. Joseph J.

Mr. Montgomery Succeeds Mr. doxo. ‘The only breeze that occurred at the meet- ing arose over the nomination of Mr. W. S. Montgomery, to be principal of the Colored High School, in place of Prof. Cardozo. The latter has been charged with incompetency, and his case has been under investigation for several weeks by a special committee, of which Trustee Bruce was the chairman. Mr. Montgomery is now the supervising principal of Mrs. Terrell's division, and, in order that he may suffer no loss of salary by his transfer to the principalship of the High School, the salary of the latter office was increased to $2,000 a year. ‘Trustees Cornish and Shadd made a vigor- ous objection to Mr. Montgomery's appoint- ment. Each of them expressed a decided preference for the appointment of Mr. Hugh M. Brown, at present chief as: nt to the principal of the High School. Thy re‘erred to Mr. Brown's peculiar fitness for the place, and advocated it as being directly in line of civil service reform. Mr. Cornish said he had nothing to say against the character and scholarship of Mr. Montgomery, but he did not think him physically strong enough for the duties of the office. He paid a high tribute to the merits of Mr. Prowa, who had been educated in the public schools 07 Wash- ington, Howard University, Princeton Col- lege and at Edinborough, and said he would surely bring the school up to the much-de- sired standard of efficiency. He therefore moved to substitute the name of Hugh M. Brown for that of WW. S. Montgomery as principal of the Colored High School. Dr. Shadd seconded this motion and made a strong appeal for the appointment of Mr. Brown, who, it seems, was a classmate of his at Princeton. Mr. Shadd said that the system of colored schools was wrong, if after twenty years none of the teachers was fit for the position of principal of its High School. According to his view, the change in the prircipalship of that school stould have been made at least four years ago, notwithstanding which he was sur- prised, mortified and chagrined at the ur- expected nomination of Mr. Montgomery. Referring to the promotion of Mr. Johnson to the head of the Eastern High School, Mr. Shadd said it would seem that white teachers were promoted according to merit, but that colored teachers were to be pro- moted according to favoritism. Mr. Bruce made an able defense of the action of the nominating committee in se- lecting Mr. Montgomery instead of Mr. Brown. He said that while Mr. Brown was an admirable man where he ts, to teach physics, he was not, in his opinion, so com- petent a man as Mr. Montgomery for the extremely difficult position at the head of the High School. He referred to the con- stant friction that has prevailed between Mr. Cardozo and Mr. Brown in the past, and said that he was opposed to turning out the leader of one faction merely to put in the leader of the opposite faction. Mr. Bruco said he had always been in favor of civil service reform. Mr. Mont- gomery, he said, Was a graduate of Dart- mouth College and has been in the public schools for twenty years. If he receives the appointment, said Mr. Bruce, the board may be satisfied that he will certainly do his full duty. A vote was then taken on the motion of Mr. Cornish to strike out the name of Mr. Montgomery and substitute that of Mr. Brown and resulted in three yeas and sev- en nays, thereby confirming the nomina- tion of Mr. Montgomery. The votes in favor of the apnointment of Mr. Brown were cast by Trustees Cornish, Shadd and Hazen. Mrs. Terrell, one of the colored school trus- tees, voted with Mr. Bruce and the majority in favor of Mr. Montgomery.
