SI i WM. IFV GABLE & CO-. BriRF.N AT JOHSSTOWS. The Watchman at Hm' Onenl If 111 Knocks Him Out. Mr. John Bowden, the night watchman at Haws' cement mill, is positive that on the night of December 4tb last he had some not very pleasant personal dealings with the man Frank Squires who was arrested at Harrisburg on Wednesday for the murder of Emory Thayer at North Danville, N. Y., several months since. Squires, it will be remembered, waa In the Harrisbnrg Hos pital suffering from what appeared to be a pistol wound back of the ear, which he aaid he had received during an encounter with a gang of colored men In Johnstown on Christ mas day. One day he walked out cf the in stitution without saying good-bye, and sub sequently his alleged connections with the Thayer murder was brought out, and a lucky constable eneceeded In running him down. Mr. Bowden's story Is that on the Decern ber night referred to he found a tramp lying asleep in one of tbe kilns at the brick works. He bad a hard time waking the fellow, and when at last tbe watchman did get him to bis feet he rolled his eyes strangely and drew back as if to strike tbe man wbo had so rudely disturbed his slumbers. Mr. Bowden had lu his hand a !stont walking stick, and the tramp bad no sooner made tbe threatening demonstration than be lay down for another nap, which for a time ap peared as if it might continue forever. A blow on the head with the cane bad knocked him insensible, and blood flowed freely from the wound. Mr. Bowden then tent for Officer Kelly, of Cambria, and on his arrival a wagon was procured and the injured man taken to tbe Cambria lock-up, being still nnconscioas. Mr. Bowden asked tbe officer what should be done. Officer Kelly said he would see the District Attorney about that in the morning. It seems, however, that the man came around all right during the night, and that he was given bis liberty the next day, on condition that he would get ont of tbe town at once. Mr. Bowden says that when the man fell under his blow at the brickyard, five letters dropped out of his pocket, one of which had a heavy mourning embroidery. Mr. Bow den examined one of the letters, and saw the name of Squires. Officer Kelly told him several of them were postmarked North Danville. N. Y. The man is described by Watchman Bow den as yonng, weigh'lng about 175 pounds, and well dressed, and as answering very well to the description given In the news papers of the suspected murderer. The watchman would not be surprised did It turn out that the wound behind the man's ear was not a pistol wound, but the wound made by his club, In which cold probably settled and kept it sore. Whether or not Squires had been identi fied at Danvile as the man wanted has not been learned. Johntttnon Tribune, icth. ON THE STRIKE. Mlncra and Cokcra at 9Tt. Pleaaant Be coming- Reckless. A strike of the miners and coke drawers in Westmoreland county. Is In prog ress, and fears are entertained that It will result m bloodshed, as the men are cross and spoiling for a fight The majority of the strikers are Hungarians, who were imported by H. C. Frick A Co., to take the place of native miners, and as they are igno rant and have been drinking to excess, tbey are very desperate, and tbe women are armed with knives and are said to he worse than the men. The Sheriff of Westmoreland county, with twenty-five deputies, intended to arrest one of the striking Hungarians on Tuesday, but found on their arrival that it would pre cipitate a bloody conflict, and could not be accomplished without force. The "Huns" surrounded the house In which their leader was hid, the men armed with clubs and tbe women with knives, and swore they would die before their chief should be arrested. The Sheriff was busy all day on Tuesday swearing in Deputies, and providing for the protection of property. Company I, Tenth Regiment, N. G. P., of Greensburg, received orders to go on a moment's notice, and are busy cleaning their guns and making preparations to go to the scene of trouble. The "Huns" have captured large quanti ties of powdr, dynamite and nitroglycer ine belonging to the coal companies, and are threatening to destroy the coke ovens and other property of the companies unless their demands for higher wages are com plied with. A mass meeting was to be held on Thursday by the miners, in which speakers would address them in different languages. What the outcome of this strike may be cannot be predicted, and great fears are entertained that it may result in the destruction of much valuable prop erty and even loss ot life.

LORETTO LOCAL I.XSTITtTK. - Topics Dlscnaacd by Thonc In Attend anee on Satordar Laat. The Institute was organized by electing Mr. J. U. Scan Ian chairman and Miss Mattie Denny secretary. The first topic on tbe progam, "Best Methods of Teaching Reading," was opened by Mr. A. J. Sanker, a teacher of Warmiog ton township. Mr. Sanker did not claim to da tborougbly acquainted with tbe best methods in use in our best schools, but would give wbat he considered tbe bett methods used in bis school, in teaching primary leading the word and sentence method should be used. Reading charts are Indispensable for beginners. Short les sons; woids at sight and review often; would not read often for pupils. Pupils in primary classes should seldom criticise each other ; in preparation ot lessons slates should be used; copy difficult words and part of lessons ; pronounce words from slate at recitation. He would question pu pils about the lesson before reading ; drill on sounds of letters as well as words ; cor rect posture in class ; breathing and vocal exercises .are important. Pupils should be taught to look from tte book' and properly observe pauses. Tbe remarks of Mr. San ker were clearly and forcibly glyen and lis tened to attentively. Tbe topic was further discussed by Messrs. Kaylor, Parribh, Noel and Sup't Stray er. All advocated drill on difficult words of lessons, appropriate ques tions, and the proper thought, feeling and expression in oraer to haye intelligent read ing. "The Use or Text Books In the Recita tion," was discussed by F. J. Parrish, Csq who was followed by Harold G. Kaylor aud other teachers. Mr. Kaylor opened the question, "How Far Should Teachers' Explanations Ex tend?" He began the discussion by asking the question, "What are the objects of ex planations?'1 They are not to require tu- pilatQ merely commit to memory mies and ikflnitions. To metual discipline or culture is acquired in this manner. Te teacher should ever remember that every mental faculty ia not present in every mental ac tion. The true object of teachers' explana tions should be to strengthen and develop the mind. Explanations are only helps to the pupils and bhould be given snly to create thought and lnvostigation. Pupils of differ ent abilities need help In different directions, act the teacher should endeavor to create thought and investigation in tbe channel wheie most needed. The great object of education is to strengthen every faculty of the mind and encourage original investiga tion on tbe part of tbe pupil, and the ex planation of difficult points In the lesson should only be directed by tbe teacher to this end. Mr. A. J. Noel spoke on 'How to Secure Attention." He claimed that tbe first thing necessaiy is to make the recitation interest ing. Train pupils by proper habits to be attentive. Conduct recitations in a varied maimer and do not become monotonous. Better close the exercise when pupils seem wearied and are not attentive. Short les sons and recitations in primary grades and not too long In other grades should be the teacher's motto. Mr. Parrish followed and agreed with tbe speaker in the points ad vanced, and added that it was one or the most imnortant elements of successful teach ing, and that teachers who fail to have the attention of pupils in recitations or explana tion would most surely fall In the general work of the .-chool. Sup't Strayer gave the derivation of the wort "attention" and showed how, In vari ous ways, the teacher may secuie the pro per attention of inattentive pupils. Atten tion Is not a faculty of tbe mind, but be longs to all of the faculties. It is the power of directing the mind to one object of thought to the exclusion of all others. It is voluutary and also involuntary. Tne ques tion, "Can we do anything without atten tion, and car. we attend to more than oue thing at a time?" was discussed by giving a uuoiUer of illustrations and opinions of wri ttis ou Mental Science in regard to these qustions. The Institute all joined in singing, after which the next topic on the proram was discussed by the County Superintendent. "The Proper Discipline of tbe School." The t rm discipline admits of a variety of mean ings, but as applied to school room woik means to control, to govern. Discipline is the means by which the teachers secure the mit efficient work in the school. Ex ternal surroundings, good buildings, proper ventilation, suitable deks, ere, add much to securing proper discipline. Many teach ers fail to do goorf work in tbe school loom because their pupils haye cot been properly disciplined physically or mentally. Disci pline should be regular not strict at one time and lose at anotner. As a general rule teachers should make tne discipline of their schools their principal work during the first Wi-ek or two at tne opening of their term. James J. Kaylor, E-q., was called upon and delivered an interesting address on some of the important suojects relating to educational work. The thaoks of the Insti tute were voted to Mr. Kaylor for bis ad dress. On motion, it was decided to hold another Institute on such a date as would suit the County Superintendent to meet with tne teachers aod directors. The meeting was fixed for the second Saturday in February. A committee, composed of Miss Olive Top per, Harold G. Kajlor aud A. J. Sanker, was appointed to prepare a program for the next meeting. The Institute was largely attended, the seating capacity of the school house being Insufficient to accommodate all who were present. On motion, it was agreed to have the pro ceedings published iu the Freeman. ttodey's Lady Rook. Gopet'S Lady Book for February ap I eara to-day in a bright and attractive mid winter costume. The steel-engraved frou-tis-piece of "My Lady Bountiful" is a charming snow scene wherein the frosty beauties of Nature are offset by the grace ful figure of a young girl scattering crumbs for the birds who are devouring their break last with great relish. Tl is is oue of the prettiest plates which Godky's has ever furnished its subscribers, and has a striking appropliateness to the date or this isntie. An unusually handsome colored work pat tern accompanies the hook this month, be sides tbe usual quota of fashions iu colors and black and white, music, an architectu ral design, etc., etc. A new serial entitled In Her Own Right" begins in this issue. It is a clever sketch of humble lite, and has Several good characters. Helen Mather's story, MLove Lies A-Bieeding," draws m-ar to a close, and we are promised a bright new novel about April. Max Vander Weyde, anthor ef the "Phillipa" articles, has something to say this montb about brass beating or repousoe work, and mere are a number of readable short stories such as "A Woman's Wit." by Bertha A. Zerti Winkler; "Seven Tiroes Two." by M. A. B. ; "What Happened at St. Jarleth's," by Hale. etc. etc.; besides some graceful veises and tbe osual quantity of Interesting matter rela tive to fashious, fancy work, dressmaking, housekeeping, etc., with notes on science, farm topics and literary hooks. Godky s Lady Book Iirs never looked better than it is looking to-day, tud has never given more goneial satisfaction aud never merited more truly the patronage; of the public. Those who have not Subf.critv.-d lor it already should do so at one-. . It is rot too late to begin your sutler iiaioo witu the January number.
