members.
A Itawd meeting of the Board ofPub
Vlucatlon held last evenlnfe,
S, Baird in the chair and the fol
hitwitm member* present : Mosers.
K (Trier, Hanson, Monaghan, Pal

I Muirs were authoriz»xl to be made
L >•(>*. 6 and 16, at a cost not exceeding
Co and f 15 respectively,
r-rhe special committee, to whom was
Lfrrred the matter of considering the
Livability of opening a primary school
fno'nl No. 13 school building, now oc
by the City Mission and by Miss
Cnwioiu's private school, reported
that while the plau was a feasible one
L y did not see that they could get pos
ition of the building until the 25th of
March next, according to tbe opinion of
the tenants.
Xhe committee stated that, they were
under the impression that the building
WJW rented month by mouth and that
tht Hoard could get possession at a
month's notice, and in accordance with
that opinion a motion was made that the
be notified to vacate in two
wwks. Mr. Sample moved to amend
by postponing the matter until tbe next
meeting of the Board, which was adopt
ed.
Mr. Hickman made a motion to the
effert that the vote by which the resolu
tion discharging the standing coinmit
tee of old No. 13 from a further consid
eration of the advisability of opening a
school in that building,be re-considered,
which caused quite an animated discus
giou between Mr. Palmer and Dr. Short
er. Palmer, of the Standing Commit
tee, thought that he had been unjustly
dealt with, and thought that they
should have waited upon him before
taking the matter out of his hands. He
thought he had attended to the duties
imposed upon him, while a member of
the Board, as faithfully as any other
memtor, and he did not like the idea of
tbe member from the Ninth ward tak
ing tbe work out of his hands during
his absence.
Hr. Shortlirige made a pertinent re
ply, ami quoted from the roll-book the
number of meetings attended bv Mr.
Palmer since May last, which did not
look well for his Interest in the matter.
He further stated that he did not wish
to take any work off*of any one, but if he
did not attend to his duties he would
want the Hoard to get some one that
would. Mr. Palmer protested that he
had attended to his business in matters
pertaining to the Board as well as auy
member, and still thought he was treat
ed Bully.
Mr. Betts stated that when the mo
tion was made, those who voted upon
it bad no ill feeling against Mr Palmer,
but thought the subject should receive
immediate attention. In reference to
tbe renting of the building tbe commit
tee Mated that it was rented from month
to month with the understanding that it
could he secured at any time after a
nmntli's notice. After several members
had spoken the vote was re-considered
ami the original motion,taking the mat
ter from the hands of the Standing Com
mittee, was vuted down. The special
committee was also discharged.
On motion of Mr. Betts, the commit
tee was instructed to report at next
meeting the advisability of opening a
primary school in this building.

The Gal low's Victim.
Ralick in, N. C., August 27.—This
morning Henry Jones was hanged in
the yard of the jail in this city, private
ly, in the presence of one hundred per
sons. Early last year he shot and kill
ed Deputy Sheriff* Alvis H. Blake while
under arrest. After a long pursuit he
was captured, tried and sentenced to be
hanged last year, lle appealed to the
Supreme Court, which this spring con
firmed the decision of the lower court.
He was re-sentenced tyi be hanged on
August 8. and the hanging was ordered
)>e public. This met with marked
disapprobation. In order that the com
missioners might re-coiihider their ac
tion the Governor respited Jones until
to-day and then the execution was made
private.
Jones had made a profession of reli
gion. He was remarkably selfqassess
ed before the execution and on the gal
lows. He was hanged at 6.40 a. m.,
after speaking and praying. Death
ensued in t wenty minutes,from strangu
lation. His age was twenty-three
years. He leaves a wife ami an infant.
About one thousand persons were
outside of the jail, with a strong
force of police and special constables,
and order was perfectly preserved.
Only a few persons were inside the en
closure.

coat maker," who
:
Tbe alleged
returned to Wilmington a few days
ago after several weeks' absence,and re
oorted to everyone who would listen to
u(s tale of woe, that bis poor dear wife
was dead, anJ that be was "Ob ! so
lonesome aud almost weary of life
since she died." lle seems to take it
very much to heart that tbe newspapers
should have discovered aud published
the fact that the said dec
the flesh—a very lively corpse indeed.
From his "statements" he would
have people consider him a much per
secuted Christian, and he must needs
lay the cause of his " misfortunes " on
some one, and he appears to iiave select
ed me as the object of his wrath, and
calls me a " mean informer," a " com
pouuder of felony," "without principle
or decency," etc., and threatens to
prosecute me, and in one article, I be
lieve, otters to teach me how to make a
coat.
Now if to give to a newspaper infor
mation that an alleged " dead wife"
had appeared and inquired for her
late husband constitutes a " mean in
former," then I am one, and most other
men in my place would have done
just as I did. Here was a fellow
whining around day after day about
his dead wife, telling to what ex
pense he had been at to give her proper
medical attendance and liually to bury
her, when lo ! the deceased suddenly
appears oil the scene, penniless, looking
for him who had given her away as
dead. Yes, i had rather be an " in
former" than such a thing as he.
As to his charges of compounding
felony and threats of suits, etc., it is
ply the old game to raise the cry of
stop thief to divert attention from him.
This fellow best knows he has been do
ing wrong, and he is trying to divert
the attention of the public from his con
duct by saying somebody
something very bad, and
prosecuted for it. He further tries to
hide or excuse his perfidy by whining
about his misfortunes, poverty, etc. If
he is so good a coat maker, why can he
not get work in any respectable estab
lishment in Wilmington ?
As to his otter to teach me how to
make a coat, I would say, I have been
with the same merchant tailor for
about six years, making coats for tbe
best trade in the city and State, and I
I can still " hold the fort" with
out his instructions. I doubt if he ever
staid six months at any one shop, much
he boasts about his abilities. But
now Messrs, editors, to let you know
what kind of man this is, I will give
you just a few minor incidents in his
career, that will serv e to indicate his
character.
He lived here in Wilmington some
six or seven years ago and worked at
four of the principal clothing establish
ments in this city and was discharged
from every one of them in disgrace. At
that time lie made himself obuoxiou sly
public by bringing a number of mali
cious and unfounded law suits against a
number of prominent citizens. He was
also a member of a certain organization
which desired to visit the " Centen
nial," in uniform,
raised aud placed in the hands of this
sauitly young man, and through his
failure to comply with his contract, the
company bursted up and didn't go in
uniform.
A prominent tailor of this city had a
warrant issued for his arrest, but not
wishing to send him to New Castle,
gave him twenty-tour hours to leave
town, and it is almost needless to say
that lie lost no time in availing himself
of this privilege,
mington again early in the spring of
this year, representing himself to be a
it maker, and good ebris

But he didn't stop here long. He got
to meddling with affairs that didn't
concern him, and lie was "released."
lie says I am jealous of him. Bah!
Not at all. I have never had the slight
est cause for jealousy. I know of a
certainty that he cannot get. a situation
at either of the five places he has
worked before in Wilmington, while I
have a place of six years' standing, and
expect to keep it. I could say a great,
deal more about this " galoot" than I
have, but space forbids: but if lie says
another word about me, I will let out
something that he don't want the people
to know. All I have said in this letter
I can prove with witne
in Wilmington. They are no trumped
up charges or idle threats, but the real
truth. The fellow is no good.

Va., aud the Quickstep, and they were
disappointed at the defeat of the home
club.
Fox and Cusick were the battery for
the Quickstep, and, with the exception
of the first and last inning, Fox's pitch
ing was very effective and the visitors
were unable to hit him, nine men going
out on strikes. The visitors won the
toss aud took the bat,when Glenn open
ed out with a hit for two bases, folk
ed by a hit of Nash to Henry at right
held, who recovered the ball quickly
but made a wild throw to Snyder at
firs*. Powell then made a clet
and Glenn scored. Scharf went out on
a fly. Morgan made a short hit to right
field and Henry again made a wild
throw to first, allowing the runner to
reach his base and a run to be scored.—
Ford made a bit ami Ferguson hit for
three bases and scored on hit of Hawk
ins, who was afterwards retired by be
ing caught at second.
If Benners had been in his position it
is doubtful if the visiters would have
scored in this inniug. Henry is a good
pitcher, but be is out of place at right
field.
After this inning the* borne team play
ed a good game until the ninth inning,
when Cusick began to weaken aud Fox
was compelled to "letup" on him,
when the visitors hit him for four sin
gles, and a double aud four runs came
in. Ferguson and Morgan were the
visitors'battery and they worked ad
mirably. Ferguson pitches
curve ball and the Quickstep found him
difficult to hit. they having only seveu
with a total or nine hits, while the visi

Manager Malone umpired the game
yesterday,ami received several stinging
hits from the ball, one of which lamei
him.

Several more changes will no doubt be
made soon.

The Labor Investigation.
New York, August 27.—The Senate
Sub-Committee on Labor and Educa
tion continued its session to-day. Frank
R. Foster, Secretary of the Trades
Union Federation, addressed the com
mittee at some length, and held that
the workiug men had just as much
right to organize and fix the value or
price of their labor as the Standard Oil
Company, grain or other merchants
bad to set the price of oil or other com
modities. He thought that tbe eight
hour system would work great benefit
to the laboring
Hyman Philips, of Cincinnati, a del
egate to the Trades' Federation Union
and a cigar-maker, strongly denounced
the custom of employing children in
the manufacture of cigars, and said
that in Cincinnati 10 per cent of the
children, ranging in ages from eight to
twelve years and upwards, were engag
ed in this business. If Congress could
pass a law fo prevent this, it would be
doing a great benefit to the country at
large.
William McClelland, of the Amalga
mated Society of Engineers, explained
the main features of that organization,
and the distributions of i s various
funds to sick
work, and widows and orphans
headquarters of the English organiza
tions are in London, ami those of the
United States iy this city. There are
upwards of 50,000 me
ganiza ion, and a capital of $841,000 in
the treasury. They not only contribute
to the support of their own body, but
also to that of the unions while on
strike.
In answer to Senator Biair, witness
said that their whole fund here could
be made available to maintain a strike
in 1 or moredistricts elsewhere. If there
were no trades unions there would be
no strikes, as the individual applicant
for labor would have to take what he
could get. The relationship existing
between employer and employee is that
the former wants to get all the work
for the lowest possible pay, while the
latter wants the highest pay he can
get. There is a general feeling of dis
satisfaction among the working men
of this country at the insufficiency of
their wages for the amount of work
done.

How Doctors' Advice Killed Jones.
"So .Jones is dead ?" saul one Somer
ville man to another.
"Yes, poor fellow," was the reply,
" lie's gone."
" What, did he die of?" inquired the
first speaker.
" Starvation." was the answer.
"Starvation ! Good gracious, the man
was worth $50,000."
" I know that; nevertheless he died of
starvation I'll tell you how it was.—
Jones was always fancying there was
something the matter w ith him ; so he
went to a doctor one day and bad him
self examined, and the doctor informed
him that, he had kidney disease,and that,
besides taking medicine, he must diet
himself. Said the doctor: 'You must
avoid all kinds ot salt meats, salt fish,
potatoes, cabbage aud vegetables of
every kind.'
'.Jones followed the advice, but found
himself no better. He went to another
doctor ; and after being examined, was
infora ed that he must avoid all kinds
of fresh mea s also. This <lid not. do
him any good, as he thought, and he
went to another doctor, who highly ap
proved of the advice which had pre
viously been given, and further
warned him against all kinds of pastry,
likewise shell fish, including oysters
and clams.
" The best thing for you is a milk
diet," said the doctor : so Jones lived
wholly uiion milk. Not feeling himself
any better, lie went to another doctor,
who cautioned him to avoid milk above
all things if he wanted to get well. This
minced Jones to a diet, of cold water
and fresh air, and, finding himself no
better under this regime, he went to
another doctor, who advised him to be
ware of drinking too much water ami
being too much in the afr. This last
advice cut off' the last of Jones' articles
of diet, and he died of starvation, anf 1
