THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. JUNE 25, 1887. THE TOWNELEY ESTATE, English Courts Down the Anierican Claimant. LCopyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpox, June 24.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.|—The anclent and fishlake Towneley estate’s American elaim received this morninz a judicial blow that may prove its quietus, Chief Justice Coleridge and Justice Day dealt There was a claimant plaintiff, as in the hborne case. The estates are g@laimed to be near Liverpool and other cities. About the time that Washington and Braddock were trying conelusions with the Indiansone Sir Richard Towneley died owning the estates. His daughter married a Lawrence. ¥rom them descended to-day’s plain§f, Dow IHager Lawrence, an American, IHe brought, as a test matter, the same kind of suit against Lord Norreys, who married a Towneley, which Arthur Orton brought against the Tichborne trustee and which kind of action 18 the pivot to the plot of the novel “Ten Thousand,” written by Father v, rector of lHoly Trinity, New York. Lord Norreys, for himself and tenants, pleaded the statute of limitation, To escape this plea the plaintiff to-day asked permission to amend his complaint so as to set up incident, fraud in the possession, Lord Norreys &l multaneously moved tostrike out Lawrence's claim altogether, because it did not show any eauseof action. In America, probably, a de- fendant would have filed a demurrer, whieh, translated into popular or Wellerian language 15 equivalent to “Vell, vot of it;” supposing all you say is true in fact, it is no good in law. For the American claimant, Mr.Finlay, who had the Lord Colin-Campbell case, and Sir Horace Davey argued, and so plainly sgainst themselves, as it would appear, that #ho judges refused to hear Counsel Rigby for Lord Norreys. So the Towneleys ®re out of court unless either the court of ap- peal or the house of lords revokes the judg- ment this morning given for Lord Norreys and holding the claim against him untena- ble. This result sustmins the prediction made some time ago as to lapse of time bar- Ting these state claims, ‘There is, however, an American agent for the Towneley heirs, Colonel Jaquess, who is pressing the claim with pertinence and optimistically.

CANTON, 0., June 24.—[Special Telegram 80 the Bex.]—Thero Is much more Interest in fBenator Sherman’s tour in Ohio than was ex- ted. His speech to the potters at East Averpool last,night was an unequivocal pre- ntation of tariff principles, but his hearers ere disappointed to hear nothing on the bel flag sensation and surprised to hear him mpliment the Industrial growth of the south. Major McKinley made a speech Ich will in part be accepted as a keynote Jor the Ohlo campaign. Every denunciation Pt the rebel flag order caused unbounded enthusiasm, but his greatest point was ghe suggestion that congress should reg- mlate congressional and natlonal elections. gllm McKinley declared to-day that the hio republican convention should insist ghrough its platform for a full vote and falr eount In the south, This, he thinks, can pnly be obtained by the creation of natlonal elactlnn boards, by national officials, pro- ided for by national statutes. When Ohio publicans meet, he said, he would vote for Inine because his people desired it. While iendly to Blaine, McKinley expresses him- self thus about Sherman: “Ohio should be solid for him; he is entitled to the solid vote ©f this state in the convention of next year, #nd I hope and believe he will get it.” Senator Sherman arrived here to-day and avas given a notable reception, all the E‘lnantmpuhhcnn leaders of this section ng present. After visiting other Ohio wns, Senator Sherman will rest at Mans- fleld and leave Ohio for a long western trip While the republican state convention is in pession, ity i e THE T, P. A.

Additional Obapters Upon the Omaha Pub- lic Schools, AN IOWA MAN'S PREDICAMENT, ‘Writ of Habeas Corpus For Clark, the Bigamist—Arrested For Burglary Committed in Fremont— Minor Mention. 1ne Hartman School Regarded from an wsthetic point of view, the outward appearance of this school is not of a nature calculated to arouse the enthusiasm of an architect. In the manner of “All Gaul,” the struc- ture is divided into three parts, consist- ing of the original two-room edifice, a brick addition and a three-story detached wooden structure. It stands on a high and commanding site on Sixteenth street, but the architecture of the building falls far short of being in keeping with the dignity of 1ts exalted position, Miss Etlen M. White, the popular principal of the school, states that the accommodation now available 1s insuflicient to provide for the children, and that she has been obli to send twenty-five would-be scholar: y for this reason, whilst some thirty-three pupils are received for a portion of the day only. The school is located in the midst of the Bohemian colony, and 285 of the children’s parents belong to that nationality. ‘There are seven large and well ventilated rooms in_ the main portion of the school, and three classes are tanght in the wooden annex. The children were nll engaged in cxamination work yesterday. The wallsof the several class Tooms through which the revorter passed were decorated with drawings of a class which indicated the presence of numer- ous budding artists as well as a_success- ful working ot the kindergarten system. There were 603 children enrolled during the year and 400 are in attendance now, the average being about 475, A force of ten teachers guide the scholastic bark, Miss Wiite preside ver the sixth and seventh B grades. These classes have made great progross during the year, the seventh grade having succeeded in doing the work of fiftcen months in ten months. The brightest scholars in th lasses are George Ross, Edwin Black, Ida Biur- vall, C. Axtelkoos, Annie Gilbert and Minnie Gilbert. The sixth A and fifth B classes are in charge of Miss Mary Alter. There are thirty-three scholars, all of whom hay been attentive to work during the year. The most prominent scholars are Fred Hall, ~Lena Kauflman, Edna Day, I Cortes, Minnie Biur- vall and Miss Mar A and fourth B grades,in which there are thirty-six scholars, The subjects in which ses excell are music and arith- ie leaders are Muud Starr, Helen , Mary Maher, Lucy MeCleske; Willie McCleskey and Mary Hohil. Mrs. Mary = W. Hay presides over the fourth A and B, classes which compri forty-two pupils. Mrs. Hay reports tha the former grade did the work of eighteen months during the year, and the attendance and diligence of both classes have been ticularly satisfactory. Annie Hall, W Gieselman, Annie Fitl, Maud Gilbert and Annie Plister have been the most profi- cient scholars in these grades, Miss HattieAllen is in charge of the third A and third B cla Her best pupilsare Amelia Rondler, Albema Albright, Amy Kelley,Olgo Andreen and Matilda Johns- ton, but good work has been done by the children in both grades. The third A and sccond B is a bight and lutcllifient looking class of forty-five scholars, taught by Miss ennie Roberts. In lan- guage, especially, the children bave mado ' great progress. The leaders are Anna Shoepee, Emma Lamb, Anna Johuston and Mary Volence, The second A and B classes are under the management of Miss Ida Dysart, who has been teaching in the Hartman school for three months only. During this time she reports that the twenty-nine scholars in the class have made consider- able headway in the several branches. The most prominent pupils are Jennie Ozier, B. Sandhoefmer, Louis Kendis and lar]y Myer. Miss Rettie Read is the teacher of the sccond A and first C grades, in which there are for(y-eight children, Good work has been done dur- ing the year. e most proficient schol- ars have been Fred Eckstrom, Mary Han- zinger, Jennie Hale, Ella Peterson and Mary Zemencl The first B and C is a class of fifty-two children tanght by Miss Flora Leighton. ‘Lhe best pupils "are James Zezulah, Emanuel Novak, Blanche Hall, Austin Liurmera and John Javorice.

The Georgia Avenue school, a hand- somo three story brick structure was completed and occupied for the first time in April, 1887, Aside from conveniently arranged cloak rooms and spacious hallways,thero are 1n this building twelve rooms. On the first floor one roomis occupied as the junitor’s residence, while the others are as yet unfinished, but will be put in conditon for the next term. On the second floor all rooms are occupied as school rooms, while on the third but one 18 used, so that out of the entire twelve but five are now in use as school rooms. The building is heated by hot air furnace, it is well ventilated and light and sitvated as it is on an elevated point, has a splendid view of the city for miles around. In every room the kindergarten system predominates and no weary children greet the visitor, but the bright eves of the cherubs attest more plainly than can words the advantage of making the school room one of pleasure as well as task. By example of tho many devices to bind the little hearts in loving unison, practiced by the teachers of this school, may be mentioned a beautiful one adopted by the principal, Miss Lillian A. Littlefield, ~that of permitting on the birthday of each pupil of her room, the other children to bring inexpensive presents to the cele- brator. Another pleasant feature is a drum corps composed of Willie McCoy, Percy Vandervoort and Dean Thompson. To the beat of the little drums the chil- dren will tile into tho building at the close of recess, and thence to the respective rooms with excellent time and order. Miss L. A, Littlelicld, their priuc‘:“pnl. teaches the second A and second B classes, in which forty children are en- rolled. Reading and the various oral lessons are the branches taught here,and a system of oral geography,outlining the school room, is introduced here with ood effect. Edna Howell, a bright ittle irl of seven, gave a beautiful recitation, in which she displayed considerable undeveloped elocutionary powers, as did also Harry Swain., The leading children in this room,as named by the teacher,are George Knlghtkol(lua Davis, Emil Sandberg, Mabel d, Etta Bradley, Jennie Row- hfii and Harry Shelby, T Ferwald has the third B and third A, in which reading, spelling and gen- eral oral lessons are the branches. Forty-six pupils are here enrolled, Her foremost pupils arg Frank Sullivan, Marshal! Ingraham, Bennie Brader, Ada Aust, Malcomb = Chollman and Otis Emery. Miss Fannie Hurlbut has the first B and C classes, with an' earollment of forty- three. A beautiful and instructive vowel exercise béen: introduced by the teacher in which the'dhildren have made rapid progress. The Jeading scholars of this room are Sadie Alexander, Herbert Luther, Bessie Spencer, Hannah MeNair and Nellie Moroney. Miss Lyda McCool's. room of infants is to-day presided over by Miss Hostetter, Here_ are fifty-three little darlings of somebody, who may well be proud of the progress they have made, nearly all of them having "been in school only since April last, and, without exception, it may truly be said, being bright, earnost little students. ~ Numerous charts adorn this room and many interesting little plans have been introduced by the teacher to interest and instruct her charges. In the visitor's presence two little girls, Mamie and Stella Burton, ( seven and five years, respectively, sang several songs, in which the former exhibited a rich alto voice of great prom- 1se and the latter a soprano to be envied by much older persons. The following are the leaders: Henry Sandberg, Ethel Mount, Jennie Campbell, Willie Russel, Walter Holman, Leslie Lansing, Tillie Eipperle, Guy Woodward, Sadie Higgins, Minerva Brader, Miss Dora Harney has the fourth A and B classes, in which the three R's are taught to an' interesting group of fifty chifdren. The teacher gave as a few of the leaders, Leon Boyd, Lanra Russell, Fred Swamn, Willie MecCoy, Bertha Sloan and Perey Vandervoort. The teachers report great progress in all the departments, :\nfi the short school period 1n pleasant Georgia avenue will e brought to an end with loving kind- ness and feeling on the part of the little ones toward teacher and mate, Jackson School, he Jackson school is not by any means an imposing structure, but thisis to be ac- counted perhaps from the fact that it was erected at a time when architectural beauty was not so much a feature of the public schools of Omaha as it is at the s There are only two only the primary grades There are 112 scholars on ive in attendance. are taught, the roll and seventy- Miss Stacia Crowley has been the princi- pal for two years but, at the beginning of the next term, will be transferred to the high school where she assumes important work. When the eporter called, the children were all gathered around'a table in the yard from which the teachers were dispensing good things of the picnic order to the Jittle ones, a state of things highly appre: ciated by the youthful banqueters. Miss Crowley has been & great favorite with the pupils as well ag with their ‘n\l'('n(s, and general regret is,qxpressed that she is about to leave theschool. She teaches the lirst grade and reports that good work has been done By, the class. i diflicult to discriminate as to ability and progress where the children are 50 voung but the following pupils stand highest in the examination list: Laurie Beemer, I'rank Klefler, Pearl Bons, Par- nell Morgan and A.

Her scholars have done satisfactory work during the year the leaders being Willie McDonald, Ora Horton. Johnnie” Bunks, and Della Ed- holm. It is apparent to the most casual ob- server that the accommodation in the present buildings 1s -altogether inade- quate to the requirements of the school. -A SERIOUS CHARGE. An Iowa Man Accused of Attempted Outrage. Fred Harding was arrested by Special Officer Bell yesterday afternoon, upon complaint of B. Johnson, charged with attempting to outrage his little seven- year-old daughter.

Complaint Against the Ponndmaster. Much complaint is being made by the citizens of the Seventh ward against a couple of employesof Poundmaster Hen- nessy on account of the bullying and indiseriminate way in which they run in stock. P. J.

In the center is round, box-like structure, p: and which, on close insp , proves to be in, It has a door, a lookout- window, and a_smokestack, but all so oddly constructed that once scen they would never be forgotten. All morning there was a curious crowd of men :mh boys on the bank gazing at the miniature vessel, They kept at a respectful dis- however, owing, probably, to the strious barking of a little binck dog that, perched upona rock near by, ap- red to be keeping guard, As are- por of the ttsburg Leader ap- proached, the canine made an attempt to gain possession of a portion of his trous- ers, and would doubtless lave succeeded had his master not at that moment called upon him to desist. “Here, Nig. Let the gentleman alone.’ The voice proceeded from the cabin, and the next moment its possessor appaared at the door. He was a iittle man of swarthy complexion, probably hity years of age, with iron gray hair and goat Drc in a neatly fitting suit and we ing an immaculate shirt and collar, to- gether with a necktic he looked Strangely out of place on board such a vessel. The seribe introduced himself and in a hes invited to enter the “Come Nobody here but Nig and 1, but you are welcome nevertheless, There you are; take a seat right here on the bed.” ‘The reporter was led into the cabin, which served as a dining room, kitehen, bedroom and lookout house combined. It contamed a 81 a stove, some cooking utensils A stool. Seating himself upon the latter, the occupant of the strange boat said: I suppose you want to know all about me and about my littie schooner? Well, I'll tell you. My name_is C. S, King, and L am a retived furniture dealer of Hornellsville, N. Y. I had been in bad health for some time and suddeniy took a notion that a river trip would be benefi- manner was cial. Accordingly I went down to Olean and my consirueted the vessel 1 which we are at present. As you see, it is made on the principle of a sailing schooner, and although small, is mighty stout and se eable. The cabin isso arranged that I ean sit in it and steer the craft with ease. 1 left Olean the last day of Mz and have been of the water ever of course, excepting the fow ¢ stopped at difierent points, My trip so far has been very pleasant, and I find my health has been much improved. The only inconvenience I experienced was at a pomt near Emlenton, during April, when I was overtak i SNOW- storm and compell hore for shelter, I was takenin by a kind farmer with whom 1 remained until the storm had subsided. Then 1cleaned out my vessel (it was almost filled with snow) and resumed my voyage.

On a rising summit, where had been placed « tablet to the memory of the first emperor of that dynasty, there arose & massive worship hall, still in splendid condition, some 250 feet in length, whose roof wus supported by solid wooden pillars 12 feet around, and in the quietness of that hall the only object moving was a small donkey, which hud strayed in from th deserted fielda, as if to "show that they who ruled i the vast had now been for- gotten of men, and that strong walls, art and heathen worship oould not make sure the smceere esteem of after genera tions At last the great wall 18 roached, aftor a tedious ride through a stony motntain pass, while the rainis coming down and the thin cotton garments of the rider are drenchied and ms ardor cooling taster and faster.
