Just beforo going aboard tho Paris Mr. Carnegie said in an interview with your correspondent that ho had enjoyed his coaching trip in England immensely ami bad boon ploased especially by llndlng tho crops in the northern districts much better than had been reported.

Prince Duong Chacr of Cambodia was requested by tho French Government a few days ago to loavo Paris. Tho reason for the government's action is not dofinitely known nt present, but whatever tho reason may have been the prince rofusod to leave tho city. To day ho was arrested and policemen I'scortod him to Marseilles, whero he will bo placed on board a Steamship and taken to Algiers. Ho will, it is said, bo detatnod in that country, and Franco will allow him an annual pension of francs. The riots during tho past few days in Naples, which have gouorally been attributed to the striking cab drivers, have a wider and deeper significance.

Tho troubles had their origin in tho nntl French agitation following the Atguos Mortes massacre of Italians by Frenchmen. Tho demonstrations at first wo'ro intended solely as expressions of indignation against the French. Tho cabmen took advantage ol tho ercitement to strike for higher wanes, and tho rioting which then occurred had no connection with the Aigues Mortis aftnir. The troubles of Thursday last woru due entirely to tho cabmon. who apparently had concluded that thoir oauso was a losing one.

But in creating disturbances they founa allies in tho poor of tho city, who joined them in fighting tbo polico. Passions and discontent arising from many causes found vent In rioting, and the police found themselves unablo to cope with the mob, which threatened to take possession of tho city. The police, it is charged, added to tho seriousness of the situation by the Drutality they displayed. Instead of facing tho parading strikers and their supporters, it Is said that tho polico flrod at children and attacked poaoeable porsons whom tbey found sitting outside tbo cafes. Tho troops dispatchod to tho city quelled the rioting.

AS OLD. WORLD JIOMANCE. If Bads in a. Jlivrriage by a Flatlmsh Justice. Tho marriage of Loufso Langel and Mlehaol Waters, which was solomnized by Justice Sweenoy in the Flatbush town hall last evening, marked tho happy culmination cf a romance that began years ago, when tho two were school fellows in a littlo village in Alsacc Loraine.

Ten years ago Louise was a flaxon haired, blue oyod girl of 11, and Michael, a sturdy boy of IB, was her declared champion in all her ohlldish troubles. At he left school and was apprenticed to tho village carpenter, and for the three yoars that ho worked in loarnldg all his master knew ot tho trade ho watched Louisa grow more comely day by day. Thoir holidays were 9pent together in planning what theyjshould do when thoy grew older, the boy always asserting that he would go to the new world, mako his fortune and then return to maito nor his brldo. She holpod him to build his castles in the air and both were happy. One day, when Michael had passed his 21st year, ho his sweetheart that the timo had come for them to part.

With tho littlo money ho had saved he took ship for New York, she promising to wait for him till he could como or Bend for her. Michael worked for short tfme nt his trade in this city and then made for the West. At Taeoma he met with good luck at his trade, and in a few years saved enough money to begin to think of making Louise "his wife. But their correspondence had beon broken for moro than six months and he was at a loss to know it his sweetheart had proved fickle. He returned to this city and tho first timo told his brother, John, who ro sirtes at 4 Tomple oonrt, Windsor Terrace, of his sweetheart hi the old country and of his misery at her long silence.

John was all sympathy for his brother and told him he had an acquaintance, named Louis Langel, who came from Alsace and might, perehanco, know Louise. This gave Michael now hope and together tho brothers paid a visit to 3lr. Langel at his homo in Seeley street, Windsor Terrace. To him Michael told his story, described his sweetheart and was agroeably surprised to find that Louis was her brother. He told of his sister's roinoval from thoir nativo village, which accounted for Michael's unanswered letters, and after a very brief correspondonoo Louige was sent for and she arrived nt her brother's houso less than a month ago.

Yesterday tho littlo romance was detailed to Justice Sweoney. and ns a special favor he consented to perform tho ceremony. Though ho has been a magistrate for years he has always persisted in refusing to marry people, saying that that wa9 an affair that belonged to the clergy. He was so flustered last evening that ho placed the ring on tho bride's right hand and forgot to saluto her with tho customary kiss. The marriogo was witnessed by a lareo gathoring, and last evening the wedding festivities wore hold at i Temple court, Windsor terraco, where tho reunitod lovers will begin housekeeping.

ruu jjjjuuu.ui.uj vi mn luiu. Last Stage of the Prolonged Home Eule Debate. .1 SPEECH EXPECTED FROM MR. GLADSTONE. IS Thought Certain Among the Radical Forces That the Grans! Olil Man Will Make Pointed Reference to the Threatened Itejee tlon of tlie Measure by the Lords, and Liberals Are Inclined to Asrrce With Them Oratorical Fireworks Will Do Plenty Tills Week.

Other European Kovrs. IiOXDOx, August 26 Tbo last stage of the homo rule debate in the house of commons will begin on next Wednesday. This beginning of the end will bo marked, probably, by another great speech from Mr. Gladstone, who will make the motion for tho third reading. In this supreme and, perhaps, his final effort for the Irish cause, tho aged premier is likely to touch OP a question or two which tho government has tgnored so far in tho exhausting nnd exhaustive plscussion of the bllL Tho radicals are confident that he will speak from tho heart coneurn the throatanod rejection of the bill by tho jlords and many liberals agree with them that, without a roforeuco to tho hosttlo attitude of the upper house, Mr.

Gladstone's speech must fonnd wanting at a crucial point. p. Aftor Mr. Gladstone will como all tho masters of oratorical lireworks whom the opposition can mustor. Mr.

Goschen, chancellor of tho exchequer in the last Salisbury administration, expected to make the first reply to Mr. Glad stone. As ho is not a debater of tho first order, however, tho interest of tho unionists has boea concentrated on the attack which Joseph Chamberlain, the Judas of tho recent scene la the house, will make on the government in Thursday's sitting. Mr. Balfour, leader of tho unionists, will deliver their linal protest against tho bill Friday.

John ilorley, chief secretary for Ireland; Herbert Asquith, homo secretary, and Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, all debaiers of the foremost rank, will probably be the government's chain pldns in this final nout with. tho opposition. The homo rule bill will bo passed during the nignt sitting. Tho rule closing the de bate at midnight will bo suspended by the gov ernmont and at about i o'clock tbo division will be taken. This close of tho six months1 struggle will be attended surely with scenes of keen excitement.

TThe government, however, with vivid recollections of the fl2ht that recently disgraced the bouse, is making every effort to keep fooling below the danger point. All tho Uladstonian members have received word from headquarters that they must refrain from any demoniiratioa likely to anger tho opposition excessively. If tho Irish membere restrain their enthusiasm tufUciontly to conform to this request, ttiero will bo no recurroaco of brawls on the floor of the house. It now has been docided definitely that tho homo rule bill shall be introduced in the house of lords on Monday, Septembor and will oe taken to the second reading on the followin day. The division will bo made and the bill rejected on Septomber S.

borne sort of a corn premise at the autumn session is now regarded by many as probable. Mr. Gladstono has made temporary poaco with the Scotchmen who were claiming his attention for their demands before they went further with him in Irish home rule. He has thrown a sop to tho radicals with thoir New Castle programme by promising that the next parliamentary session shall be devoted exclusively to British affairs. He has also usod soft answer to turn away tho wrath of tho 'Welshmen in tho matter of church disestablishment.

All this diplomacy has paved tho way a six weeks holiday lifter the supply shad been voted. Tho autumn session will last "Until Christmas. Tho nationalists will give a banquet noxt week to Edward Blake, their ruembor for South Longford, who is about to sail for his Canadian borne, where ho will rass the recess. Justin McCarthy will preside. Important declarations probably will bo made by several speakers.

Tho new French chamber of deputies has but B81 deputies, or three fewer than sat in the last chamber. The decrease is duo to tho doorcase of the population in certain districts since tho last general election. A review of last Sunday's poll shows conclusively that the Panama scandal has baen either forgotten or forgiven. Joseph Iteinach, cx Mlnister Kouvier, Jules Iloche, M. Areno and ex Minister Burdoau, all besmirched with tho Panama dirt, will return in triumph to tho 'Palais Bourbon, while Dolahaye; Drumont, Millevoye, their accusers, will be left to their own dovicos in private life.

There is little interest in the reballots during tbo first week in September. Ex Premier Goblot is likely to be returned from his Paris district. M. FJoquet, ex president of the ohaml'er, may be defeated, as he received only S00 votes more than did tho social list, Feberat. M.

Tho action of tho Bank of England In raising tne rate oi discount to per cent, is commona ea generally as necessary in view oi tho proo aoiniy mat most oi tne lurtnor cieinuncis ot tne United States for gold will bo made upon Eng land.

Nevertheless it is remarked that only three times in the lust twenty five years has the jfate been so high In August once" in 1870, in anticipation or the Franco Prussian war: aeain 187d, when tho Glasgow bank collapsed, and in J.STO, aitor tno failure ot tho iianncs. The disturbed state ot tho llnancial atmosphere continues practically unchanged. Forty lacs of India council drafts were again offered on Wed nesday. Only 3 2 3 lacs were applied for and there were no 6ales. All offers were lower than 14 5 6 penco.

During the last eight tho India council has offered H30 lacs council drafts and has sold but 12. In tho fact of tho council's accruing sterling obligation tho inability to sell bills compels the question whether a gold loan or an issuo of treasury bills may not become necessary. The StMist and other financial authorities urge that the council's true policy is to sell at the market price, the objections to the loan being numerous ana valid. Tho silver market has been activo. India bought freely for the bazars and China was burdly loss activo as a purchaser, chiolly for forward delivery.

Despite many prophecies of a speody settlement of the collier's strike, matters in the coal districts have chaugod little since a week ago. The striko seems likely to end aooaost in South "Wales, where the men struck for an advance of 20 per cent, in wages. Just In this district, where the man have maile tne largost 'demands with least hopo of fulfilment, the bitterness is most excessive. The auger 'of the strikers against the men still at work grows daily and an outbreak may como at any hour. The coal carrying railways are losing thousands of pounds In freights ovary week.

But this loss, say the railway men, is as nothing compared with tho extraordinary cost and difficulty of procuring fuel with which to operate their lines. Tho Eastern railway's works, in Stratford, Middlesex, which employ 4,000 men, have bean foraed to run on short ttmo. The eouipanv has fitted several furnaces for the consumption of liquid fuel aud hae contrived apparatus for a similar innovation on tho locomotives, but the success of the experiment is still in doubt. The Durham minars, who have kept themselves clear of the strike, aro balloting to day on their future action. Tho results so far announced indicate strong sentiment in favor of quitting work.

William Waldorf Astor is criticised rather severely for having withdrawn from picnic parties the timO honored privilege of landing on tho shore of Cliveden, his plaeo at Maiden bead. Ho has also closed tho woods on ids estate to tho public. His course in both respects Is regarded as an indication that ho intends to pass most of his time ot Cliveden. Among tho persons sailing on the steamship Paris from Southampton to day are Sir Ambrose Shea and family, who nro going to the world fair; Dr. Bernardo, Dr.

Pentecost, tho Itov. Lyman Abbott, Sir ltlchard Webster, attorney general under tho last Salisbury administration, and his family and A.

La response to an address of wolcomo tho papal dologatoaid: "I am very much gratified with the reception which has been accorded to mo in Cincinnati.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE In a Bill tor Divorce Filed In a Cul ensro Court. Chicago, August 26 In a bill for divorce filed in the superior court to day by Mrg. Bella H.

Hassott against William E. Hassott of this city, some astonishing charges are made. It is alleged, and the allegations are supported by written evidence that Hassott conspired with tho wife of wealthy farmer named Stone, now living near sasnua, to murdor btone, get a aivorce from his own wife and then marry the widow of Stone, who by the letters attached was moro than ready to put her own husband out of tho way thot sho might marry Hassett. Airs, itassett is well known in the bettor eir clcs of Cincinnati, whero Bhe taught school for several years. Her maiden namo was Belle Cynthia Hicks nnd her widowed mother vet resides In Cincinnati.

Enzllsh Yachtsmen Stamp the Royal Western Club's Decision as Decidedly Unsportsmanlike The Vigilant Accepted as the Valkyrie's Opponent Emperor William's Challenger. Loiroojr, August 26 Yachtsmen doploro as boorish the mistake of the Boyal "Western oluo in ruling tho American yacht Navahoe out of the race for the queen's cup at Plymouth on August 29. The ground on which this stop was was taken meroly that as a foreigner tho Navahoo would not be a proper contestant.

Fowhavefor gotton that formerly on invitation tojtake part in this race was extended to Americans and refused by them. The expectation that the change of captains would benefit the Navahoo has not yet been realized. Captain Crocker sailed the yacht yestorday and to day with hardly more success than her former captain had. Many believe that Boyal Phelps Carroll, the Navahoe's owner, is holding back with somo now man whom he will bring out to work wonders with hor in tho cup races. The Victoria Yacht club has on gagod two large steamboats to attend tho Navahoo and Britannia during these races.

In a loader published this week the Field writes thus of the rocont trial races off the New England const: "It seems at present that Vigilant will be the craft that Valkyrie will have to beat In the contest for tho America's cup. As compared with Jubilee, Pilgrim and Colonia, there does not seem to be anything approaching failure about Vigilant. Tho fact that Valkyrie has beaten Navahoo does not appour to impross Americans." As regards tho Vigilant'a recent rocord of thirty miles in 4 hours 9 minutes and 15 seconds the Field remarks thut Americans must remember the Valkyrie's performance on August 3. of forty five miles in 3 hours 40 minutes and 3 seconds. There is a rumor abroad among yachtsmen that Emperor William has ordered a ninety footer, which ho will enter to win the America's cup in ease the Valkyrie bo defeated.

TWO THEATERS OPENED. First Nights at tlie brand Opera. House and Star. Tho Grand Opera house has opened for another season. The first entortaiuer to appear there is Augustus Heoce; the play his own.

"Yon Yon son." Mr. Hceffo claims to bo tho orisiuator of Swedish dialeot comedy and already there is a threatening list of Olo Olesohs, Yim Yimaons, Eric Ericsons, Peto Petorsen3 and Olaf Olafsons. Joseph K. Emmet was responsibl for a groat deal when he popularized farce in broken English, illustrated with dogs. Mr.

Heogo does not carry a dog and does not sing. Ho hiros four men to do that for him who represent wood choppers, and really thoir voices are not bad. His play was written to entertain the public, not to instruct it. He knows that no woman, even if sho were tho cook In a. Minnesota dining station, ever loved a stranger of another race so ardently at first sight that sho pursued him through the house, turned somersaults and caused him to fall through a ceiline in fulfillment of her intention to soizo and marry.

him. Such incidents are so far beyond tho possible that they are not fanny; thoy aro merely fantastic. The play is old in matorial though fresh in form, and in personating the dull, slow, expressionloss Swede of Dakota, Mr. Hoege is able and conscientious. Some day ho may elect to play a similar character in a hotter piece and the audienco will then liko him more.

"Yon Yonson" is already familiar to Brooklynitos. It has undergone a fow changes for the better, especially in the realistic view of tho log jam, and it is performed by a fairly competent company, the principal coadjutor of tho star being Sadie Connolly, formerly a circus rider, who now embodies the athletic cook and points with pride to her accomplishment of jumping through a window while turning a somersault. ion lonson is on for a weok. Colonol John W. Holmes re openod bis Star thea ter last evening with a popular play, a good company and an audioneo that filled tho house comfortably.

Since last season tho Star has boon touched up by the rejuvenators and it looks fresh and new. The decorations aro in good taste and tho new curtain 16 very pleas ing to the eye. It represents Liberty Island, in the finest bay in the world, and tho beautiful white squadron atjanchor. in it. The painter has done his work with care and the effect of his canvas is in keeping with tho ultra realism of tho day on the stage.

Tho repainting of the lobby of the theater is not the least of tho pleasing new thines to be seen by the audiencs. One of tho other improvements is a smoking room for the frequenters of the fam ily circle! and last evening it was patronized with delightby hundreds. The play was "The Scout," which is familiar to Brooklyn, but exceedingly entertaining. Dr. Carver, tho man who indisputably claims tho championship of tho civil ized world as a rifle shot, was the star.

One of the incidents of his dramatic sensational doines was tho extermination of many Indians, At an other timo his horse, with him on its back, jumped through a bridge and over a precipice about twenty feet down. It is extremely realistic and sot the audience cherrine. The play was very woll roceived from beginning to end. Tho orchostra, Augustus Teots. leader, mot with quite a reception.

NO REASON FOR STICKLES' SUICIDE. So Far as the Wife of tUe Dead Plan Knows. George E. Stickles, ageat of the Bridgeport Steamboat oompany, committed suicide early last evening by shooting himself. Mr.

Biiewsters, N. August 2G A terrible oo cldont occurred this noon on the Harlom railroad noar Dykomaus station just north of here, which cost four lives and possibly moro.

The southbonnd train loft Pawling at 12:30 and was drawn by engine No.

Two victims of the wreck were taken to New York on a special train at 7 o'clock last night. They wero DeWitt Hermann of 453 Main street, Poughkeepsle, a passenger, and John Finne gan, baggagomaster on tho New York train. Ambulancos from Bollevue hospital, which htid been waiting since 5:15 o'clock, took Hermann to Bellevuo and Finnegan to St. Luke's. The special left Brewstors about 2 o'clock and took live hours to reach New York.

It was switched oil repeatedly to allow regular trains to pass and was drawn by a freight engine. Dr. Knop, who was exhibiting a colloction of snnkos at a fair at Brewsters when the accident occurred, treated the men at William Elliot who was caught in tho wreck and placed on the train, died just beforn reaching Mott Haven. His body was removed at that station and taken to his home on Alex andria avenue. The railroad officials did not mnko any statement and details of the wreck wore not easily obtainable at the Grand Central.

From one of tho passengers of the New York train the following account of the collision was obtained: "Our train left tho Grand Contra! ot 10:30 o'clock in the morning. The Pawling express, I understand, left Pawling at 1:1:30. The track between Brewsters and Pawling is a single one. It is said our train No. 13 had the right of way over tho Pauling express No.

20. Train No. 20 should have waited at Towner above Brewsters. But I suppose Engineer Thomas Calmiter failed to road tho train dispatcher's orders right and wont humming down tho track t6 Brewsters. When rounding a sharp curva at lea Pond, a few miles above Brewsters, Tho two trains came head on.

In tbo face cf almost certain death engineers stuck to their machines and did everything possible to avert tho collision. But tha speed was too great. Engineer Elliot and fireman Beut of our train jumped whon the engines were within live feet of each other. The crash was a frightful ono. The engine of our train was thrown clear up on top of the other.

The cars were telescoped. The engines wero a mass of twisted iron. Scalding steam was added to tho horror of the scene. The four ongineere and flremsn were caught beneath the wreck of the engines. Tho life was instantly crushed out of all on the engines but Calmiter.

Tha scalding steam roastod their bodies until the flesh pealed off. Tha two trains wore well lllled and tho shrieks of the hurt and dying were pitiful. Many passengers were caught and held down by tuo debris. Thoy bogged plteously lor neip. The uninjured did everything in their power to release thair imprisoned comrades.

Word was carried to Brewsters by one ef the train men, and the news was telegraphed to Wrhito Plains whore the division superintendent has his headquarters. A wreckiug train soon came to us. Tho wounded were taken to Brewsters, but I du not know their names." TWO STEAMERS COLLIDE. The Governor Sauk, 15 nt iKer Crew Was Saved. Tixevaiid Haves, August 25 Schooner Charles H.

I Just Swat Him an Easy One With the Broom End of the Broom," Said the Defendant, Who Claimed That the Complainant Played Llko a Dead Fox Until the Ambulance Came The Price of the Swat" Was Twenty Dollars. They had been frionds for many years and still were neighbors, the two old men who sat yesterday afternoon in the Leo avenue police court Ono was Jacob Sohuchart, portly, smiling and benevolent looking. His thick hair and long honvy beard and mustache were snow white, and altogether he was in appearance tho typical patriarch. The other was Peter Den hardt, of attenuated form and face, scowling and angry. His short whito hair formed a fringe for a big bald spot and ho wore a close trimmea white mouBtache.

Schucbardt lives at 102 Ellery street and Denbardt at 10C, tho second door away. Schucbardt seemed to enjoy his surroundings, while Denbardt was nervous, impatient and gonerally ill at ease. Yet the patriarchal Jacob Sohuehardt was under arrost, and his old fried and neighbor, Denhardt, was there to do what be could to secure bis conviction. Schucbardt was charged with having assaulted Denhardt end knocked him unconscious. Each man was nearly 70 years of age.

When the caso wus called by Justice Connolly, who was sitting for Justico Goetting, Schucbardt steppod forward with an afabl air and smiled complacently at tho youthful looking magistrate. The complainant arose slowly and usod a heavy vane to assist him in walking to tho rail. Schucbardt, in a mattor of fact sort of way, pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault, and, still smiling, sat down in the nearest chair, aftor which the complainant took the witnoss chair. Ills English waa Imperfect' and ho testified through an interpreter. "That man," said ho, pointing a trembling finger at the white bearded patriarch, "was standing on his stoop last Tuesday.

Had I known that I should not havo passed his hous6, but I did pass it and ho throw dirty water over my shoes. 'Don't do that I said, and he came out and hit me in tho faco. I trfud to run away, but he took a broom from the hall nnd hit me with it right in the baok of the nook so hard that I fell on the sidewalk and didn't know anything moro till the ambulanco came. Everybody in tho neighborhood is afraid of that man." Ho looked very peaceful and bonign at that momont, did the deiondant, even if people wero afraid of him. When Justice Connoliy asked him If he had any questions to ask, arose, looked commisseratlagly on tho complainant andsaid with a quizzical glanco 'To askV Say, Judge, what should I ask?" Whon ho took the witness chair, Schucbardt bsckouod to tho interpreter and whispered to him in German: "Toll me that Judge's name.

I would rather know his name than havo to call him only 'judge'." The interpreter walked off without replying. Tho old man told his gtory in broken English. 'You see judge," ho said, "that man was my good friend for near as much as forty years, already, but just fourteen months ago he stood on my sore corn. I said to him, 'What for you do He say to me back: 'Pshaw! Well. Judge, I hit him then and he hit mo back.

Since then I didn't have no use for him. That's all, judge." "No, it isn't," exclaimed Justice Connolly; como aowu ro tne assault oi last ruosday. iiiai maae an tne trouoie, juage, the way he put nis loot on my sore corn fourteen months ago. He came by my house last Tues day and ho called me bad names. Then he swot me one, and I swat him ono back.

When ho went to swat mo one again I got tho broom from inside and uat swat him an easy one with the broom end of the broom. It didn't hurt him judge, but he got down on my sidewalk on purpose, just to maEO some troubles, and played like a dead fox. Ho played that way till the ambulance came and then ho was all right. That all, judge. The old man took his hat and started to to.

He was very much ustonishad when ho learned that he was actually a prisoner, and was still more so when Justio Connolly aaid ho would ba compalled on the dofendant's own testimony, to impose a fine of $20 Or a sentence of imprisonment for twenty days. Tho old man looked around tho court room in a dazed sort of way, as if trying to seo some friends. Ho only saw iho leering face of his now jubilaat foo. Then Tie drew somo bills and coin frool his pockots and counted them over and over. 'That's a turn fool of a vordlct.

ha said, rue fully, to Court Officer Dunn. "Did I know tha judge would know no hotter as that I would have more money here. I've got only S18.20 with mo. I'll go home and get some more." But old Jacob Schuchardt. bcinc 1.80 Khort on the $20 fine, was taken in custody to an adjoining room, and a messenger was sent to his house.

"That man makes troubles for mo all tho time," he said to a reporter, "and I get him nrrestoa ior tins wncn i get out When his tarn foolishness cost mo so much as $20 and put my foot down with both feet and mako him sweat for it. Oh, yos, he was my eood friend for forty years, but we had one littlo trouble near forty years ago which he never got over. "It must have been about a girl." susrirostsd the reporter. well, never mind about that, but Oh. thank Lroa, nore come my wne an aaugutera!

Ostrandor, hoad weigher of tho Hoboken district of the custom house, was arrested yestorday at his home, 2M West Twenty third street. New York, on a warrant issued by United States Commissioner Alexander. The fact was published in tho Eagle yesterday.

Tho complaint, charging the making of falsa returns of weights, was mado by Assistant United States District Attorney John Oakey beforo Commissioner Morlein this city. As Ostrander was a rosidont of Now York application was made to Commissioner Alexander in New York, who lssnod tho warrant. Tho arrest was mado by Marshal Grant. When arraigned Ostrander said that he would like to obtain counsel and thut ho thought ho could furnish bail on Monday. He was committed to Ludlow street jail.

This is tho formal complaint made bv Colonol Oakey. "On January 21. 1891, Alanson B.

Putnam Is lately to liose Her Place. The Local Committees of Public School No. 83 Can't Persnnde Her to Resign Sho Has Served the City for a Quarter of a Century and Persecution Is Alleged. The local commltteo of Public School No. 83 Is unanimously of the opinion that Miss Georgiana F.

Putnam, a hoad of a department of the school, is incompetent, its members havo mado up their miads that she shall not servo in that capacity. This is in the fncp of tho fact that Miss Putnam has been an instructor of tho docartmont for over a years ns principal of Colored School No. 08 until it was consolidated with School No. 83. Miss Putnam is ovor GO years old, and her friends maintain that she should bo retained in some lucrative place on the pay roll of tho educational department.

Her ease has been the cause of soveral strong fights in tho board of education and has oxcltod much intorest. Whon School No. 08 was merged with No. 83 the local committee ot the latter, consisting at the ttmo of Messrs. Simts, Miller and Stewart, the colored inembor of the board, wero divided on tin? question of retaining Miss Putnam in a suporvisoral capacity, Slmis and Stewart do siring to appoint her as a mere class teacher in the primary grade, and Miller seeking to place her ns a head of department.

The majority appointed, temporarily, as bead of department, Miss Aegesta D. Beck, and named Miss Putnam for a class teacher's place. Meanwhile a petition tros sent to tho board of eduoation by the parents of colored children in School No. 83, asking that Miss Putnam be appointed as head of dopartmont. This was referred to tha teachers committee.

When tho appointment of Miss Beok came before this committee it was decided to reject the majority report of the local committee and recommend to tho board the pormanent appointment of Miss Putnam in Miss Beck's place. The board conilrmod tho choice of Miss Putnam at tho June meeting. Since then the local commltteo of chool No. 83 has been reorganized by President Bouck, Colonel Clark replacing Mr. Millor.

The local commltteo met on Thursday, Miss Beck and Miss Putnam having boon cited to attend. Thoy decided to gat rid of Miss Putnam at all hazards and offered hor half a dozen other positions. She persistently declined to accept these propositions, nnd it is now the announced intention of the committee in case sho refuses to be transferred to a place as teacher of a primary class to suspend her for incompetency. The belief prevails among Miss Putnam's friends that sho is baing persecuted by Mr. Simis and his colleagues On the committees.

They say tho veteran teacher has been worried until sho is in very feeble health by the persistent attacks made upon her standing as an instructor and the attempts to deprive her of her place, and that sho has been robbed of the bon eflt of her vacation by tho necessity of attending the eemmitte's mootings. Neither Miss Putnam nor any of the members of the local committee would talk about the matter yester day.
