Benjamin Nields, K»q„ counsel for plaln
tifl, op-u«d w ith a history of the oaae. It
wus claimed that the atock told by Sberifl
Clark iu Jauutry, 1881, the store xorxls ol
lltury L. Sauders, in the store cornei
Seventh and Market streets, were seized and
sold for debt contracted by James A.
and rs some years before. James A. bad
failed iu bur-incss and his stock had been
wild by Sheriff Pyle, beiug purchased by
Mary K. Handers, of Ht. Lou's, who had
a Judgment given lor
money loaned. The s ore was then turned
into the hands of K. Bertha Handers, who
conducted the business until August, 18*1,
when she married and Henry L. Sunden»
took pobsettsion. Then four ereditors ol
James A. Hauders stepped in and had th«
goods sold by the Sheriff, uotwlthstaudiuc

not the property of Jamos A. Handers.

that he had beeu Informed both by llctuy
L. aud James A. «Hauders that .the pHXlr
seized and ufterwards sold did not beloutr
to the latter. The occupants of the store
were invited to h ave tho place, tho door
was locked, an outside watchman appointed
and the Hhcrilf had complete possession ol
the place until after the sale. Tho good»
were a {»praised ut $6,455 68, and sold ut
auction for $4,460.77. Witness still hud
itiat sum in his |ioshcssIou and also uu in
demnity from the four creditors at whose
iustance the seizure was made for any loss
he, the Hficrill, miirht uuslaiu hy the act.
Cross-examination : James A. Handers
and wife were iu possession of tho store
when the. seizure was made. Mr. Waiu
wrlght was appointed appraiser at tbe In
btuuco of Mr Nields, altliough it wus fiisi
intended to up{H»fut Mr. llihbs. Was lirsl
told by Mr. Hpruuuce, In tlie presence <»•
Hcury L Handers. Thought Messrs. Wain
wriglit und Jcfferis were more suitable ap
pruist-rs than Mr. Hibb*.
William B. Jefleria, oue of the appraisers,
said the goods were appruised at aOout 25
{K-r cent, less than their cost, and would
have brought, if sold over the counter in
Ihe usual way, about $10,000.
John Waiuwriglit, who, with Mr. Jefieris,
made the appraisement, stated that the
goods were uppraised at from 10 to 20 per
cent below wholesale price and were worth
to ihe owners there iu the store about $8,000
Thomas Given, deputy sheriff, Lieu titled
a uuinber of w*riis ami oih« r papers in the
case. Had been sheriff about 27 years.
Tho bill of sale given Mary K. Handers by
the Hheriff was not u usual document, and
had or.lv known of it in five or six in
stances during 27 years in oifi.-o. A bill is
always given wheu ask«*d for.
Robert T. HamJers of Ht. Louis, husband
of Mary K. Handers, identified his wile's

Superintendent IlurlAU was asked about
the matter of children residing outside ol

"Is it a fact that a number of couutry

of few cases except of children who art*

their parents beiug u>o poor maybe, to sup

lino very closely. It has been stated that
children outside of the city attend school,
coming in and going out uioruiug and

stirs this thing up, but uothiug

I tor--No. 4 to be Opened
A Dissatisfied J
Next Week—Preparing For Necea eai y
Législation.
Last evening the Board of Education held
l*s regular stated meeting, nearly ell the
members being present.
Requests were granted school committees
follows: No. 4, hd order lor $14 for trim
ming 1* trees and removing the rubbish of
the work; No. 6, an order of $1 for a bucket;
No. 7, repairs to a fence at a coat not to ex
ceed $10; No. 15, permission to buy door
mats at a cost of $5,and No. 16 «ertnission to
*etl an oid uuused table to a teacher ou the
beat terms.
Mr. Hilton of No. 6 school, reported that
the committee had been compelled to sus
pend school on the 20th, owing to aome
(rouble with the water system. He added
rhat some repairs or alterations would be
needed in the plumbing of tho building be
fore winter set in
aud the school might have to be closed.
Mr Kenny of No. 20, reported that Elias
Johnson, late Janitor of tho school, who
had beeu discharged for good and sufficient
reasons, had presented u claim for $17.fl5
for wages alleged to be due him. He did
not think Johnson was entitled to the
amount, but had another claim for $1
which should be paid. Johnson had threat
ened to bring suit for the sum. A letter
was also read front the janitor to the effect
chat be was discharged without cause.
Col. Helsler explained the difference be
tween the summer ai.d winter pay-rolls.
Mr. Kennv further stated that Johnson
had threatened to sue the Board for the sum
claimed and he thought some action had
inetter be taken. A motion was made to
,>ay the alleged back salary, but it was laid
on the tabic. An order for $1 for extra
work was, however, granted.
Action on Mr. Hoffocker's temperance
•im'mdmcnt to the rules of the Board was
post {Mined In his absence and at his request .
Colonel Helsler reported that school No.
4 would be ready for occupancy probably
before the next meeting of the Board, and
most likely would open'on Monday,when all
would be completed with perhaps a little
iuUhiug work. Ao order was granted in
favor of the committee for $6,340, with
which to pay the contractors, and au order
for $25 lor removing books, etc.
On motion oi Mr. Morrow a committee of
dve, to which the president was afterward«
added, was appointed to consider matters to
be brought before the Legitdature. The
•ommittee was made
Morrow, Betts, Hickman, McKay, Willey,
and Baird.
At the request of Mr. Hilton the secretary
directed to make out an account of th«
work done *-y the Board with the in oue \
appropriated by the Legislature.
Colonel llcibicr gave notice that ho would
present a re*oluMou at the next meeting in
structing the Legislation Committee to ob
alu lor the board the right to levy and col
•t taxes, aud have the same placed to its
credit.
At the request of Dr. Shortlidgo, section
18 of the rules governing the school;* was
read. It says it «hall be the duty of the
principals to report each month to the
risitlug committee the number of cases iu
which corporal puulshmeut had been in
dicted—the amount administ« red, reason
for doing so, aud the name of the pupil.
Ou motion of Mr. Hilton the secretary
was directed to send each tcuehee a copy ol
the Boards rules and regulations.
Mr. Bcncou reported that a pupil lu No. 3
school had been inattentive and disorderly
«orne days «luce and was kept in after the
other pupils bad been dismhsed and
tho hand with a ruler. The
boy reported the matter to his mother and
the teacher was taken before a justice. 8he
paid the costs in the matter without going
to trial. The Squire said he hardly knew
how lie would have settled the case had it
been heard, and another justice thought th«
teacher had a right to do ai she did. The
mother said the child had not been hurt,
but as she didn't whip him herself no
teacher was to be permitted to do so. Mr.
Beusou thought if teachers were liable to a
line for inflicting corporal punishment they
should not be allowed to do so. He said it
was understood that only princi|>als were
giveu that right, although there was no law
governing the matter.
Mr. Willey said that decisions had been
rendered by the courts of several States, in
which it was declared that the teacher wa6
placed iu loco parentis to the children. 11«
(.nought the decisions were consistent with
common sense, but while corporal punish
ment should be administered freely it should
be done cautiously. Solomon, the gentle
tuau thought, had a level bead ou such sub
jects. Mr. Willey had seen a parent take
nib child
phetnt' aud curse his maker, aud yet it was
i-xpecie 1 that teachers could gove
children with kindness and humanity. The
teachers should not be upbraided and bull
dozed by a lot of ignorant parents w ho think
their child
climb the golden stairs. ihe boys who
complained the most were always bad boys
ile had, however, seen boys who objected to
ihe teachers* chastisement get worse whip
ping* at home tor the same offense. The
teachers should be protected.
On motion of Mr. Keuuy it was directed
that hereafter none but pnuclpals should do
the uecessary whipping.
The salary of the Janitor of No. 3 school
was fixed at $ 185.
Orders were granted
Vernon 6l Bons, $12.00; insurance, $21.25;
E. T. Eckel. $23; repairing clock for school
No. 16, $1.50; re|iairs to stove at No. 17,

The hucksters who have been driven from

to vacate, but they have decided that they
would stand no discrimination In favor of

the New Jersey produce dealers who at

down their wares at Fourth and King
streets, they at once gave It out that they
would have the first man arrested who com

New Tons:, Nov. 28.—The Sun to-day
P ublishes an affidavit, signed by the
hurlow Weed, aud sworn to by him on th«
28th of S ptember las', giving the full his
tory of tbe abduction and death of William

revealing cf the secrets of Free Maslonary.
The article covers three columns, and e-sa

already published, aud many others, usv
made public lor the 11 rat time.
Referring to thç inquest held on the body
found on the shore of Lake Ontario, w hich
was first thought to be that of Morgan, aud
subsequently that of Timothy Monroe, Mr.
Weed aays : "Our commiueo took no part
iu tho third inquest, and the body, ks Is

Indeed there. it> a reason to tieiieva that
even now, where 1 am personally unknown,
generations are growing tip, believing that
I mutilated a d-ad body for {«Milical effect
and when exposed, boasted that it was a

Mr. Weed refers u> nn Intel Vie ta held at his
residence oue evening iu 1831, at which w er«
preserjt Coi. Simon B. Jewett, of Claikbou;
Mayor Samuel Barton of Lew if to », aud
John Whitney of Rochester. The subject ot
Morgan wan then dibcuteed and Mr. Weed
avers that Jewett whs prepared to teatlfÿ
that he furnished the carriage for those who
conveyed Morgan secretly from Canaudai^ua
to Niagara. John Whitney wus one of tha
party. Bartini conveyed tho party from
Lewie ton to Fort Niagara.
la the course of the evening, Jewott
turned to Whitney with emphasb*, aud said.
"John what if you make a cleau breast of
it." '
;
Whitney looked inquiringly ut Barton,
who added "go ahead,'* Whitney
then related in detail the LUtory of Morgau'a
abducliou aud late. 'I he idea ot auppreasiug
Morgan's intended exposure
scrects of Masoncry was first sugges
ted by a tuau named Johns, who suggested
that Morgan tie placed on a tarm in Canada
west. For this pur{>ose he was taken to
Niagara, and placed iu tbe magazine of the
fort, until arrangements tor settling him la
Cauuda were completed, but the Cauadiaa
Masons disappointed th««m.
After several meetings a lodge in Canada
opposite Fort Niagara made a refusal lm>
have anything to do with Morgan. This
left his kidnappers greatly pemlcxed. Op^
portuuely the imuallmeut of a Royal Arch
Chapter brought a larco number of enthusi
astic Masons together.
"After labor," in Masonic language, they
"retired to refreshing.." Under the. ex*
tillaration of champagne :vud other viands,
the chaplain, R.v. F. II. Cummings o(
Rochester, was called cu for a toast. H*

Immediately after ihn tosr.t, which was

lie grasped the gunwale of the boat con

Whitney, in concluding his narrative,
said he who now relieved from a heavy load,
that for four years he had u«»t heard à win
dow curtain n s.ie, or any other uoUe at
ni^ht, without thinking the she;iff wa* after
him.
Colonel Jewett then looking fixedly at
Whitney said, "Weed can hang you now."

so before leaving Chicago. There wan uo
leisure, however, and forgetting what I had
told Whitney, I hurried to Iowa, r«*iundng
by way of Hptlugficld to visit President

In the excitement of tbe canvass, which
followed, 1 neglected the important duty of
writing the confession, which Whitney wss
so anxious to make.
