Miller before bim yesterday afternoon to answer to r cLarge of threwing stones at the windows of John Kenney, who lives on South Eighth street. The fact that stones were thrown and that they narrowly escaped doing scrious dumao was fully proved, but the prosecuting wit- ness could not connect Miller with the decd, and he was discharged. Today Ben Waliace and John Veach will have a trial on the same charge. W. B.

A member of the Odell investment company, which owns the property in question, stated yesterday that the report is true, but that in his opinion the parties who are making the negotiations are not the real parties in inter- est, but who is directly 1nferested cannot be learned. Tt is said that if the sale is consum- mated a hotel will be built on Mauhattan Beach early in the spring. The new gas company, whose representa- tives agreed when they secured a charter last November to furnish fuel gas at 25 conts per 1,000 cubic feet, has not fulfilied its agree- ment to_any great extent, and there is talk among the councilmen of Introducing a reso- lution at the next meeting declaring the char- ter forfeited. Nothing has been heard from members of the company for several weeks. The last semi-official communication was to the effect that they had determined to go ahead and build the works without asking any assistance from local capitalists. This assortion is still strenulously made by local friends of the enterprise, but it is probable that unless something tangiblo is shown up in the near future the company will find itself without a charter. Judge Thornell rendered a decision yestor- day in the case of Maish vs Crangle, in which the subject of dispute is the possion of a farm near Walnut, and in which tho defendant secks a new trial on the ground that several of the witnesses for the plaintift have made afidavit that they were misled by the plain tiff's counsel into testifying to what they did not believe.

The Union Depot. “We were told last fall that the only thing in the way of the union depot was the dispo- sition of the Milwaukee to defer action for a short time,” Mayor Rohrer yesterday afternoon. “All the other roads exbressed a willingness to commence the work of build- ing atany time, and all sigaified their desive toenter the depotwith their trains. When the Northwestern some time agoasked tho city to vacate several streets and alleys ad- joining their property to enable them to build a fine local passenger depot their rep- resentatives were asked if the build- mg of the mew local strtion would have any influence upon their agftemen to join 10 the construction of a union depot and the ceply wasa very hearty negative. They assurred the council that if there were a dozen union depots in the city they would vun their trains intoall of them, that they were here to get business and they would go wherever they could find it. I have no rea- son to doubt that the ofiicials meant just they said and [ know that they are still xious to bring the matter to a focus. Toey propose to build a very fine local passenger station and as tand will begin the work this_sprio The Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy tem and t Uuion Pacific have likewiso giyen satisfactory pledges of good faith, and now itall depends upon the Milwaukee. Theonly reasou that the mat- ter was not consummated last fall was tha Milwaukee’s plea for a continuance on the ground of tinancial stringency, The officers g adistinet plodge to the Union depot company’s representatives that the work should be commenced this spring. They have enjoyed an inerease of earnings since then und the financial excase cannot bo urged again, Spring seems to be pretty close at tand and I hope the newspapers will take time to call the attention of the depot com- pany to the fact that the time has come when the Milwaukee should be called upon to make good 1ts pledges.” —— See Tie Bee for the announcement of the Boston store’s second anuual clearing sale which opens Wednesday, Junuary 21, and will continue for ten da; Store will bo closed Tuesday from 1 p. m, marking down goods for sule.

By these repr sentations he collected several dollars, but while telling s story he made a good many statements that were subsequently discov- ered to .contain a good many variations, Several people asked to codtribute also re- called the fact that Anderson bad madea similar appeal not many wouths before, In- quiry developed the fact that his pitiful story was @ villuinous lie, that he bad no chii- deen, living or dead, and that he money contributed on this aud previous oceca- sious had been used to defray the expenses of a fivst-class drink, An information was filed against the rascal and a warrant issued for his arrest. Before it could be served, how- over, Anderson got out of the eity. Sunday afternoon Marshal Templeton caught sight of him while visiting his brother in Omaha, and at his request Detectives Dempsey and Say- idge arrested the deceptive coon and lodged him i jail. He persisted in his refusal to come over without a requisition. Yesterday mornmg, however, he reconsidered tho mat- ter and volunteered toaccompany the officers, and was brought over yesterday morning in irons. He is confined {n the city jail await- ing aheaving, which will probably ve ac- corded Lim iu a few days. L Buy your coal and wood of C, B. Fuel Co, 139 Broadway.

Thirteen members of the board of educa- tion attended the regular meeting last night. Owing to the absence of President Goodman, M, Rees occupied the chair, The report of Superintendent James was received and placed on file. It shows that Auring the month of December the girls{rom the training department of the normal school taught fifty-five days in the public schools; that owing to sickness the regular teachers lost thirty-eight and one-half days. A report from Mr, Coryell indicated that the new room that has been rented to receive the overflow from the Central schoolis in bad condition, owing to imperfect sewerage. ‘The report showed that on account of this fact the seating of the room has been de- layed. The citizens of the Kourth ward had some doubts about the sanitary condition of the new room, and at their own expense sent a doctor out to make an inspection. He re- ported that the cellar is filled with decayed vegetables and has been used as a slaughter house for the killing of pigs and chickens. Mr. McConnell, who was chairman of the committee that rented the room, felt ag- grieyed, He had investigated and found none of the objections referred to. Mr. Morrison thought that the committee knew what was being done when the room was rented for one year at $10 per month, and was opposed to ‘golug back on the report of the committee, To settlo the matter Mr. Martin wanted to refer the mnatter back to Messrs. Gibbs, Points and Spaulding with instructions to report on the sanitary condition of the prem- ises. Mr. Morrison amended by adding that the commitiee examine into the sanitary condi- tion of all of the rented rooms. Upon avote the motion to amend was lost and the original motion to refer was carried, The pupils of the high school asked for the use of the building on the night of February 6 i order to givean entertainment and so- cial. The request was granted under the su- pervision of the faculty of the high school. The committee on teachers and examina- tion reported as follows: “Your committee to which was referred the report of the examining committee and the examination of papers on which said re- port, was based, report that from the investi- gation of the same your committee is satis- fied that in many” instances papers were marked up to a noint entirely unwarranted by the answers thereto. Your committeo recommends that. the examination be de- clared void ; that all certificates granted un- der the same be revoked; that another exami- nation be held at the earliest possible date, and that the secretary be directed to notify those who tooic the last examination of this action of the board.” The report was signed b{ Messrs. Rees, Gibbs and Poppleton, Mr. Bubcock being out of the city atthe time the report was made. Mr. Poppleton moved the adoption of the report, and in that behalf said : “TlLe marking was improper and unfair, There were some persons who got certificates who were absolutely unqualified, and when we know that th examination was con- ducted by fraud it is not just for us to sit by and seo this tning go on without raising our voices.)! Dr. Gibbs said: “This commiitee acted carefully, and in making its report knew perfectly well what it was domg. ~ The most just thing we can do is to make those persons take another examination, one thatwill be fair and just.” Mvr. Smithsaid: “Tam not a member of the committee, but T was present at the ex- amination aud heard and saw enough te con- vince me that something is wrongin the pres- ent method of conducting examinations and marking theapplicants, 1 want to fix a time where and when the members of the examin- ing board ean be heard,” Mr. Coburn said that a member of theboard bad stated thatSuperintendent James had, on account of partiality, marked, up some teachers, while others were marked below what they deserved. Mr. Martin thought the whole matter ought 1 be sifted to the bottom. Mr. McConnell thought the members of the examining committee had a right to revise their work and had a right to raise the stand- ;Alnl of any applicant’s work if the facts justi- ed. Dr. Gibbs said: ‘“There are papors marked 80 and 100 per cent when they ought to be riced zero, and I believe the board has a ht 10 inguire into this matter,” lessts. Poluts and Morison were opposed to the adoption of the report for the reason that it would bea great inconvenience to many of the teachers, palding did not think the board had g amine the reports and papers of the examining committee, Mr. Rees called Mr. Smyth to the chair and said : 'ho board has appointed a com- mittee to make these examinations., Now do the gentlemen say that when the answers to the questions do not come up to the required standard we shall bave no voice! T'he exami- nations show that in many cases the apj cauts did not answer 75 per cent of the ques tions and certificates were granted, when tl rules absolutely say that an unswer of only per cent shall constitute a fallure,” Mr. Coryell was in favor of the adoption of the report. Mr. Poiuts wanted the matter referred r back to the committee, ‘4o {nvestigate the question of fraud he question to refer was carried Mr. Lewis of tho high sthbol and a membor of the examining committéé was iuvited to speak upon the subject. Ho said: The subjects ave di among the bers of the committeo, and if there is o fair marking by one member of the c tee the others know nothing about it.”” He denied that cortificates had been grantad where the average showed that less than 75 per cent of the questions have been an- swered. Mr. James, superintendent of schools, said thatat the timeof the examination he was out of townand kiew rothing about the was innocent of mimit- marking, and_us a result having committed any fraud. Bills amounting to &,%0, including inter- est on bonds, were presented, and upon reso- lution ordered paid. The proposed bill providing for changes to be made in the' school law at this session o f the legislature was adopted and tho presi- dent and secretary of the board instructed to seo that it reaches the Douglas county mem- bers now at Lincoln, . st " N— WILLIE DANIELS' DEATIY, The Coroner's Jury Holdts John Shicar Responsible for It. The coroner held an inquost yesterday afterday afternoon and evening upon the caseof Willio Daniels, who was ran over by a team and heary wagon at the corner of Seventeenth and Burt street at noon on Janu ary 10. James Leary, Albert Monninger and B.C. Lattoy, all eye witnessos to the unfor- tunate affair, were called before the jury and stated that they saw young Daniels rid- ing on & small hand sld be- bind a malt wagon. Another agon driven byone John Shiear came up benind, and although the boy called out three times for Shiear to hold his horses back and not run over him the driver paid no attention to the cry of alarm but permitted the_horses to trample the boy under foot and then drove over him and went on without stopping to see whether the lad was dead or alive, “The boy was picked up bruised and bleed- ing and conveyed to his home on Burt street, whore physicians were called and_found that both legs and his right arm were broken. The physicians were also called as wit- nesses and testified that they had found the boy as above stated, and that although the injuries did not seem to be necessarily fatal by any means at the time, yot young Daniels was taken with lockjaw as a dircct result of the injuries received und died one weelk alter he was run over. Shicar wasipresent, but did not care to make a statement regarding the case. He appears to be n man of verv limited intelli- gence, and it is the opinion 0f many who see him that he oaght never to have been cra- ployed upon the street with a team, The jury returned a verdict to the efloct that Willie Daniels came to” his death from lockjaw caused by injuries received about noon on January 10 by bong run over by a loaded wagon belonging to the tirm of D. H. Post & Co., and driven by John Shiear. The jury further founa that the said John Shiear was guilty of criminal legligence when he drove the team over Willic Daniels, The remains of Willie Daniels were taken to Springfield, Neb., yesterday, and interred in the cemetery near his home in the country. A delegation from the Typographical union, of which he was a mem} went with the remains to their last resting place. SE ok COUN1Y COMMISSI)ONERS.

'Tn the meantime suspicious of foul play had had been aroused. Calkins was an old and respected citizen of Elichart, at one time editor of the Labor Signal, a Knights of Labor organ. He was sixty years of age and moderately woll off, t was found out that his wife had in- duced him to will his property to her and take out an accident insurance policy, payible to herself. She had ecn twice married before and was con- sidered rather- fust. Hendryx was a manof good character, but had been on pretty intimate terms with Mus, kins before her third mar- riage. When the body of Calkins was found a post mortem was held, but noth- ing suspicions wis found, The insur- ance agent, however, refused to pay the insurance money, claiming foul play, and Mrs, Calking never made a second demand for it, but in ashort time she and Hendryx left Elkhart, being all the while under the suvveillance of officers, Recently the grand jury returned a bill charging the two with® the murvder of Calkins for the purpose of gotting his money and insurance, Mus, Calking was arrested, Mrs. Calking in her confession says that the boatride was planned for the purpose of murdering Calking and that the proceeds of the crime were to be di- vided between them. She says that Hendryx drugged her husband before getting intothe boat, and that when in a dazed condition horoseto change his seat, Hendryx gave hima push and he went into the water to rise nomore, Thoy then soukced themselves thoroughly s0 08 to givecolor to the story that the boat had upset and ruun'nu(’l home to tell their concocted story.
