Comparing the attendance for the past
month with the utiendance provleus te the
cold weather, I find the greatest falling e IT
in the lower grade primaries In Maner strre t,
in Miss King's schecl en Anh street, and in
the primaries en Seuth Mulberry stroet Ne
iloubttblsisdueln part te the defective ar
rangement for heating these buildings.
I also found that the H. Prince street, the
Maner street' and the 8. Mulberry street
schools were without water, and as fur as I
knew this Is still the case.
Believing that It would be interesting te
the members of the beard Ut knew the cost
ofinstruetien by the single room plan, and
also by the old plan or combined schools, I
herewith submit the calculation, made by
taking bh' my basis tlii overago attendance
for thepastsix months in the primary schools,
-yhere have been In average sttendance In
Nldgle room schools or the lowest grade 685
pupils at a cost or (301.35 or (O.C74 per pupil
TPI MfMl tit ""
In Oie-'cemliliiPil study-lial,! and class
room schools 300 pupils at a cost er'(S0ai0 or
(0,858 per pnpJL Assuming Uie cost In the
simile-room schools as the basis, the cost in
the combined schools Is 27 per cent, higher.
In the principal primary grsuu mure imv-
(0.B56 per pupil; reckoning as ueiore.ine cost
in the comblned Is 12 per cent greater than In
le single room schools.

Mr. Ilartman said, in roreronoo te the state

schools were without water, that the severe
weather had frozen the water pipes but
they were aU'epen new., ,
Tbe resolution offered ut last meeting by
Mr. Byrne for the nppolntment of n com cem com

the rules and regulations of the beard during
the past flve years and report such further
revision of the rules an Ihej may deem neces
sary, came" tip ns unfinLshcd business from

Mr. Baker thought a revision of the rules
unnecessary at thin tlme j the rules had beeu
carefully revised only a few years age, and
only a few amendments hatl been adopted
subsequently, and theso are recorded In the
minuted. , .'
Mr. Byrne thought thcre wasf great noces neces
slty for a revision of the rules ; he pointed
out about a dozen amendments that had
been made sinee the rules hed been printed,
seme of thorn of a very .radical character;
and besides, thochange In the school system,
from the comblned te the single plan hail
rendered void se oral of the printed rules.
Our teachers and some or the directors nre
unacquainted with these amendments, and
are led into errer by attempting te ndhere te
the printed rules.
On motion or Mr. Kyani the further con
sideration of Mi1. Byrne's, resolritien was in
definitely postponed.

12 and 1 o'clock at night four men were seen
standing en the third tier or beats and Charles
Bently was en a beat in the Ilrst tier. These
four men wcre conversing about Bently und
he ovldently heard thorn, for he raisctl him
self up and walked around te the ccntre et his
beat ; as he reached that point a' shot was
llred and Bently fell; Berkhclser at this
tlme, it Is claimed, was standing en a Ixwd
within sheeting distance, while his compan
ions were In the cabin.
After the sheeting Berkheiser, it is alleged,
said he hatl dene the best he could. A phy
sician was summoned, Bcntly's wounds
WOre dressed and he was eenvnvnd In dm
county hospital, where he died en the night
of Jnly 20. The commonwealth further
claimed that when Olphlu and Fry, the com
pan Ions of Borkhelser, accused him of shoot sheet
ing Bently, he did net deny Hand a few days
afterwards, at a hearing at Columbia, Uork Uerk
helser admitted that he had shot Bently.
The first witness called was Daniel A.
ShltTer, who was coroner in 1881. He testi
fied that he emiianelled a Jury, had n iest
mortem examination made .and held an In
quest en the body of Charles Bentlv.
Dr. F. M.Musser, who with Dr. Jehn H.
McCreary, made the pest mortem examina
tien, testified that he found no oxtemal
marks of Injury en the body or Charles
Bently except a circular wound en the
median line or the abdomen, GJ inches bo be bo
leW the umbilicus, and Inches abeve the
pubes ;tlie wound was fren H te ,( Inch In
diameter and extending through the cntlre
thickness or the anterior wall ofthe abdomen.
Within the abdomen nere evidences or
recent peritonitis, the cavities or the
abdomen and pelvis contained thrce pints or
bleed, with a few clots ; the nature of Uie
external wound indicated that it wes from a
bullet although no bid let was found afler a
most thorough examination ; thore was no
perforation of the blscera, the immediate
cause of death witness said was hemorrh
age. Coustable Wlttick testified te linding
Bently en the canal leat dangerously
wounded. He summoned a physician and
the next day assisted in taking him te th!
county hospital.
Dr. O. W. Bemtholsel testified that he was
called te attend Bently at 2 o'clock en the
inornlngerLJuly,2&tli.: he-found him en the
canal beat, and probed for the bullet but was
Uimblo.te find it' Witness made Bently as
comfnrlable as possible and recommended
his speedy removal te the county hospital.
James tlreve, a cetmsin and step-brother or
Charles lleiitly, testified tliat Hcittly was In
his 27th year at the tlme or hisdeath and that
he took Bently's remains te Leng Level,
Yerk count', for interment
Jehn Steele, a boatman, whose beats were

fied te tha positions occupied by thoseicral

judgment for he fell twice ; witness next
saw Bently when he was in the act of rais
ing himself from tbe deck at the corner of
the cabin, and a moment later he saw the
Hash of a pistol ; the conversation that first
attracted witness' attention was when these
four men in the ethor beat said Bently was a
contrary man, when he was "full ;" te
which Bently replied that he would kill the
son of a l ; the flash from a pistol In wlt wlt
ness' opinion, was from a pistol in Bently's
hands. i
Dr. Jehn II. fllcCreary.Jsuporlntendont of
the county hospital, testified that Charles
Bently died at that institution en Uie night
of July 2a This witness corroborated the
testimony or Dr. F. M. Musseras te the pest
mortem examination, but disagreed with
