Mitchell Was Ille- gally Removed From His Position. Judge Hunt Ru les That He Is Vice-Principal of the Girls’ High School. ‘Writ of Mandate Issued to Compel the Board of Education to Re- instate Him. It was decided by Judge Hunt yes- terday that George O. Mitchell was il- the Girls’ High School as its vice-principal to the Polytechnic School, and he ordered that a writ of mandate issue compell- ing the Board of Education to restore him to his old positicn. This action on the part of the court will to a cer- tain extent upset the little political | manipulation of the board, at least as far as the appointment of Madison { Babcock to fill the position made va- cant by the transfer of Mitchell is con- cerned. In fact, it is hinted that it may act as though a star was yanked out of the solar tem and result in a startling disorganization of the plans | and fondest hopes of Director Ragan, according to the theory of Director | Head, as published in Friday's Call. Mitchell took his position as vice- principal of the Girls’ High School on In July of last year a resolution was p: board transferring him f | sition in the Girls’ High School to one | of less honor and monthly remunera- | tion in the Polytechnic School. He im- mediately demurred at the action of the board and some time ago applied to the courts for a writ of mandate to compel the board to readmit him to the vice-principalship of the Girls’ High School and to allow him to again ssume the labors incumbent upon that position. In his application for the writ he contended that he held a high school certificate as required and as he had been duly appointed to the po- sition he should be allowed to hold it originally intended. The board con- ed his application and set up in de- e that it had a right to transfer as | it saw fit. The stand taken by the board is er- eous, it Is held by Judge Hunt. In | his interpretation of the law Judge Hunt decided that after one is appoint- | ed to a position in the School Depart- | ment he cannot be transferred if the transfer results in a decrease of salary and rank. The board has not the power to remove a teacher, it was held, after he had been legally appointed ex- cept for cause. Cause is not consid- | ered to mean political preference in the contemplation of the law, it was held, but for a material cause such as in- which in justice should result in dismissal. In conse- quence. It was held that the conten- tion of Mitchell that he had been ille- gally removed was a just one and the | r THE YOUNG PRIEST THOMAS J. 0'CONNELL. | oung and recent graduate of the Catholic Seminary at | st of the Roman Catholic Church yesterday morning at Thomas J. O'Conne Baltimore, was ord Surrounded b of the different Cathc himself before the taberna members of his family, his early teachers, and representatives churches threughout the city, young O’Connell prostrated | cle of his God and took up the cross of the Savior. | The usual ordination ceremony was performed and the church was crowded with | friends of the young priest and outsiders eager to witness the services. | The most impressive moment of the entire ceremony was just after the epistle, when the archdeacon summoned the young priest to the throne of the archbishop. | Young O'Connell advanced, clad in the amice, alb, stole and maniple of the secu- | lar priest, holding a folded chasible over the left arm and carrying a candle and two pieces of linen cloth in the right hand. As the young priest approached, the archdeacon, as is the custom in the cere- | mony, solicited his ordination from the archbishop. | At the singing of the Venl Creator the archbishop anointed the palm of each hand with sacred oil. This being done he tled the hands together with the linen bands to remind the young priest of the moment recorded in the Acts of the Apos- tles, when Agabus, figuratively speaking, bound his hands with Paul's girdle. After receiving the vestments, the sacred vessels were next handed to him, the chalice being filled with wine and water and the first vessel put :n the hands of the new priest. At the conclusion of the mass the archbishop extended both hands over the head of the newly ordained priest, uttering his blessing as he did so, and concluding with the following words “Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven | them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” After taking a vow of obedience and reverence to the archbishop and after making a promise of fidelity to the church in all that pertains to the ecclesiastical ministry, the young priest entered the ranks of the clergy and became an ordained priest of the church. The Rev. J. B. Hannigan acted as master of ceremonies to the new priest during the mass. Those who assisted the archbishop were the Rev. Fathers Byrne and Mulligan of the Cathedral Parish. A representative from nearly every church in the clty attended the services, but the most prominent were Rev. John Cottle,pastor of St. Brigid’s parish; Rev. Henry ‘Wyman, pastor of the Paulist Community; Father Hickey, from the Jesuit College; Father C y n the Dominican Church; the Rev. Arthur Ramm and Father Demp: , from the Cathedral, and Father Coyle, from the Star of the Sea Church. Thirty altar bo: robed in purple cassocks and white surplices, attended mass in the sanctuary. he acolytes who assisted the arthbishop in the ceiebration of mass were Thomas Bellew and John Curesy. The entire high altar was decorated with golden colored flowers and rare ferns, which with their glistening leaves stood out in bold relief agamnst the dull white background of the marble and affording a brilliant sight. The decoration was arranged by Pedro Gomez, who had control of the entire ar- rangement of the preliminaries. Thomas O'Connell was born twenty-eight years ago and since his birth has re- slded in this city most of his years. - It was while attending the Brothers’ School that he first expressed the desire to become a priest of the Catholic church and 2 member of its clergy. At an early age he left the Sacred Heart College, where he had been attending for three years, and matriculated at the Santa Clara college, where he remained for several years. Upon the completion of his studies at Santa Clara he was sent to Baltimore to complete his education and take a degree for the priesthood. His progress here was hindered by his continued fllness, and a rest and cessation from hard study were declared necessary. Owing to his weak physical condition he was delayed two years in the taking of his degree. Father O'Connell will say his first mass next Sunday morning at the Paulist Church on California street. The privilege to celebrate the first mass at this church has long been an expressed wish of the young priest, as to it cling many happy recollections of his younger days. The mass will be sald at 10:30 o'clock and in character will be solemn high. The sermon of the mass will be preached by the ®ev.

The fight is not yet over, hotever, as the board will appeal to the Supreme Court in order that its power in the line of the case at issue may be for- sver determined.

We are both inter- | ested in a Klondike scheme, and the re- cent sale of the property left us free to act in the matter at once. “It 1s true, I suppose, that Mr. Hart had some words with his wife, and that may be the reason why he did not tell her he was going away. This is one of the cases where a man has good cause to call on heaven to deliver him out of the hands of his friends.” ——— LATER NEWS BETTER NEWS. Damage to the Citrus Crop Far Less Than First Reported. The southern citrus belt has come in for a deal of commiseration recently. anent the reports of heavy damage wrought by the rude hand of Jack Frost among the orange and lemon groves, which are the particular pride of that section. There was a wide variance in the report as to the extent of damage ef- fected, some rumors placing the damage as high as 50 or 60 per cent. Later and more rellable advices go to show that the worst afflicted localities not suffered damage which will amount to more than 20 per cent of the crop, and it is probable that when all re- | ports are in and carefully canvassed it will be found that the general average of damage will not be over 10 per cent. The recent “cold snap” was the se- verest known In ten years, and the won- der is that it did no moré damage than it did—in the citrus belts and elsewhere, LETiLA T e A New Whip Grseefully handled by the Town Crier in to-day's S.

The Steamship President Broke Her Machinery and Could Not Land at Unalaklik. San Francisco harbor, was attached yes- terday by a suit brought in the United States District Court by eight passen- | gers, who allege that they have been | damaged and injured to the extent of $2000 each by the action of the skipper, Captain Nelson, in taking them from St. Michael to San Francisco against their will. The libelants are Benjamin F. Gray, Herbert Kendall, Anderson W. Meadows, Augustus C. Cabel, Henry Peters, Ernest Nuessler, Mrs. Igna Nuessler (his wife) and Arthur Paul. They tell a hard story in their compiaint and one which, If | true, places Skipper Nelson in a very un- | favorable light. | They allege that on October 15, 1897, | while they were at the port of St. Mi- chael awaiting the opening of the sea- son for the transportation of themselves and their stores to the Klondlke mines the steamship President was lying in th harbor of St. Michael, seeking assistance in order to enable her to discharge her cargo. There was no avallable labor to be hired at that place, and there was therefore danger that the ship would be frozen In during the winter. In this emergency the complainants, belng de- sirous of reaching certain gold diggings near Unalaklik, some forty miles to the northward of St. Michael, agreed with Skipper Nelson that they would dis- charge his vessel provided that he would give them passage thereon to Unalaklik, they also to pay $15 each in cash. On arriving at Unalaklik six of the pas- sengers went on shore and made ar- rangements to procure a whaleboat to as- sist in transferring their stores to the shore. After their return to the ship that evening and after a small quantity of their stores had been landed by Ine dians _In_skin boats, Skipper Nelson holsted his anchor and went a mile or two out to sea, telling his passengers that he would run in again in the morn- ing and land them and their stores. But when morning came the skipper refused to land his passengers and proceeded on His way to San Francisco. He met all their protests with profane and intem- perate language. N The complainants allege further that | owing to the crowded condition of the steamship and lack of preparation for | the vovage they were not given proper | accommodation and food, and they suf- fered great inconvenience on their en- forced voyage, The captain’s defense will be that the machinery of the steamer broke so that it was not possible for the vessel to re- main where she was without risk of great damage, if not loss. Page, McCutcheon & Ells, Robert Ferral and W. H. Payson are the attor- neys for the libelants. ———— Fell Down @ Hatchway. John Buchanan, & negro sailor, fell down the hatchway of the schooner Henry B. Hyde at the Folsom-street wharf last evening and was quite seri- ously, though not fatally injured. He was taken to the Harbor Recelving Hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Deas, who found that three ribs were broken, the scalp lacerated and internal injuries.

A horrible sulcide of a brother In the presence of his devoted sister took place at 1210 Buchanan street yesterday after- noon. The unfortunate man was Henry Har- ris, who recently worked as a porter in the hat factory of P. Berwin in this city. Owing to the loss of a leg in a raflroad accident and the consequent illness Har- ris became very despondent and frequent- ly threatened to commit suicide. For this reason his mother and his sister, Minnie, who have been taking care of him, have Shortly after noon yesterday Miss Min- nie returned to her brother’s room from another part of the hcuse, and when she entered the apartment she was terror- stricken on beholding her brother with a razor in his hand and in the act of draw- ing it acrc his throat. With a wild shriek of horror she rushed forward to wrest the weapon from the suicide’s grasp, but before she could reach him he had cut a fearful gash in his throat. She selzed the razor and struggled desperately with him for the possession of the weapon, and recelved several severe cuts in the hand. But the devoted girl was too late. The struggle was brief and at the end of a few agoniz- ing seconds, when she had gained pos- session of the razor, her brother died. The remains were taken to the Morgue, and an {nquest will be held. Harris was a native of this State and 34 years old. About the first of last De- cember he was thrown off a train of cars near San Rafael and was run over. He was taken to the German Hospital in this city and one of his legs was ampu- tated. During the consequent sickness, although tenderly cared for by his mother and sister, he became very despondent over the prospect of being a cripple for life, and frequently threatened to make away with himself.
