The County Teachers' institute open
ed yesterday, and odd Indeed did it
seem to attend an institute in the ex
cessive heat of summer. Institutes,
sleighing, cutting ice and theatre-going
seem to belong naturally to winter.
The court house was a lively place
nil the forenoon where enrollment of
teachers took place. The Carbondalo
contingent was absent for the ilrst
time and no doubt feel blue indeed to
think that tliev are not among their
county colleagues, despite the highly
dignified stand taken in having nn in
stitute of their own. They have a right
to a separate affair Just U3 have the
teachers of this city, but the other
county teachers assort that the Car
bondallans will scarcely have as good
a time as in the years gone by. That
there are a few left at the county

County Superintendent Taylor opened
the institute at 1:30 p. in. In the main
court .room. He stated in tho begin
ning that there must be economy of
time If the benefit of the instructions
were to bo gnlned and emphasized the
necessity of punctuality and quiet. He
recommended the programme, and
happily expressed his hopes for tho
success of tho week.
Professor Coggswell than made brief
remarks and conducted singing with
Miss Kenyon nt tho piano. Miss Anna
Huhkbee then took up tho subject of
local history which was presented in
nn interesting way.
Dr. J. C. Bnteson gave an able paper
on "The Human Temperaments nnd
Their Application to Teaching." In
beginning he spoke of tho mystery of
life and remarked upon the fact that
how a man becomes, living is yet to be
solved scientifically. The mingling and
combination of the physical elements is
designated by the word temperament,
which from tho Latin, signifies a mix
ture, arrangement of qualities or constituents.
WHAT MAN IS.
We have learned that man is com
posed of bones, muscles orterlal and
venous, blood, digestive, secretive, and
excretive organs, nerves of slusatlon
and motion, a brain to regulate and
control every function. By the tem
peraments are understood the states
of the body and mind with respect to
the predominance of different qualities.
It is essential that the teacher should
have n knowledge of the temperaments
as well as of anatomy or physiology.
He then repeated the Fowler classifica
tion the motive or mechanical, the
vital or nutritive and the mental, with
their several distinct types of physique
accompanying these.
The character of the motive organi
zation shows love of action, muscular
work, exercise, physical power, capac
ity for severe and prolonged exertion
of both mind nnd body. When the
motive temperament is lacking the
small stock of eulogy should not be
exhausted by over exertion. "When the
vital is largely developed there is a
fondness for fresh air and the luxuries
of life a preference for play, a ten
dency to impulsiveness, enthusiasm
and versatility. A tendency to fall into
habits of Intemperance vigorous manu
al labor should be employed. When
this element is deficient there is need
of much rest and sleep. When the
mental predominates there is refine
ment with quick and delicate percep
tions. The teacher should be able to recog
nize these temperaments and know
how to handle the subjects. The par
ents should begin first, however, to
teach the child to discriminate between
right and wrong, lylns and truthful
ness, honesty and dishonesty, drunken
ness and temperance, indolence and In
dustry. When the teacher takes the
child in hand to train mentally and
physically with aid of a proper knowl
edge of the temperaments, the work of
education will go on to successful com
pletion,
FORMATION OF HABITS.
Dr. Benedict, of State college, former
ly of Edlnboro Normal school, spoke
on "The Formation of Habits in Edu
cation." His address was practical
and interesting. In speaking of habit
he said:
"While we may not be able to define
habit we know what it is. Habit has
been called 'The Enormous Flywheel
of Society.' It causes us to make the
best of a nursuit to which we may
not be adapted in mind and purpose;
it makes us what we are and what we
accomplish.
"A mental habit depend upon a
physical habit and a moral 'inblt de
pends upon both. There can be no
mental action without a corresponding
physical action. That which is the
foundation of habit depends upon the
body upon the nervous system. A
high degree of nervous system shows a
high order of intelligence." The
speaker then proceeded to give a de
tailed description of the nervous sys
tem and declared that no mortal can
be educated unless the nerve centers
receive their training.
After making the announcement
that today's Institute will be held in
Young Men's Christian association hall
Superintendent Taylor announced the
adjournment of the session. The pro

TRAGEDY ON
SOUTH SIDE
Concluded from Pago 1.
turned, a half hour later, a crowd
which blocked the street for fifty yards
had assembled, all striving to get n
glimpse at the dead man on the side
walk. Dr. A. Kolb had telephoned for
the Lackawanna hospital ambulance
to take care of Russa, the Injured
man. The poor fellow for a quarter
of an hour had been circulating in the
crowd showing the wound In tho nbdo
men where the ball had entered. Ho
finally sought his bed telling his friends
that he was going to die. Tho ambu
lance arrived at 7.30 and Russa was
taken to tho hospital.
The patrol wagon from the central
city also arrived with Patrolmen Neuls,
Perry and George Jones. These with
Lieutenant Hang and his men, Hagger
ty, Qulnnan, Boland and Sartor, at
tempted to control tho crowd nnd when
Constable Woelkers arrived with Ab
bato tho handful of police had work
of tho hottest kind.
TALK OF LYNCHING.
Woelkers and tho prisoner were in
the buggy. The mistake was made
when the constable in his triumphnnt
spirit, drove close to the edge of the
crowd and cried out "Here he is!"
In nn Instant the buggy was the
centre of a surging, clamoring mob.
"Lynch him I Lynch him," they cried,
and the hind wheels of tho carriage
were lifted and the vehicle tossed
about. Woelkers and the prisoner were
spilled out on the road. Before the
crowd could secure Abbate Patrolman
Charles Perry, who was the nearest
of tho officers, drew his club and
striking one man who held the horse's
head the policeman Jumped Into the
buggy, Woelkers dragging the pris
oner with him.
Patrolman Perry yelled for the crowd
to disperse and catching the reins in
one hand, the whip in tho other, he
slashed the horse into a gallop. The
crowd crew back and Cedar avenue
was gained. The rest of the drive to
the central police station was uninter
rupted. For several hours after this incident
the crowd hung about the place. Cor
oner Longstreot arrived and empan
neled as Jurors oh the Raimondl death
Charles Wirth, Gus Rempe, Ed. Co-
nelly, Henry Walters, Jr., Gus Schmidt
and Lieutenant Peter Zang. They will
meet tomorrow night at Coroner Long
street's office to take testimony. The
body of Rilmondl was removed to Un
dertaker Storrs' morgue, on Cedar ave
nue. Joseph Abbate and Sebastian Sparo
cenl, the two other members of the
party, were arrested and taken to the
police station. They will be held as
witnesses. Patrolman Gscheldle found
Joseph Abbate at his house in
Schlmpffs' court. Sparocenl was ar
rested by Special Officer Frank J. Egll
on Ninth street, where he had fled af
ter the shooting. He was identified
trom a photograph which Egll secured
from his friends.
CAPTURE OF ABBATE.
The capture of Abbate, the murderer,
was exciting. Wh'en Constable Woelk
ers, aftpr crossing the river by way of
the Linden street bridge, reached Gold
en's hotel, on Luzerne street, he saw a
crowd of people chasing Abbate, whoae
wet clothing caused suspicion. The
man was running for dear life. Woelk
ers followed with his buggy. When near
Ansley's lumber yard, on Meridian
street, Abbate turned from the street
and entered a yard, intending to es
cape by way of the rear.
As he got Inside the gate the con
stable drove up, Jumped from his carriage-
and followed the man. Abbate
was cornered in the rear lot. Woelkers
shouted "don't shoot him!" looking over
Ablxite's head. The time-flavored ruse
worked to perfection. Abbate turned
around his hand, seeking tho pocket
wheie the revolver was, and as he did
so Woelkers and two young men, Rogan
and Conway, pounced upon him nnd se
cured the weapon. The four then got
into the carriage and rode to the South
Side, where the reception was given as
noted.
At tho police station last night Pa
trolman Sartor learned from the pris
oners the cause of the shooting. Ab
bate said that Raimondl made a mo
tion as if to draw a revolver from his
breast pocket. Then he shot him. Ab
bate when Interviewed by a Tribune
reporter made the same statement.
"Did vou shoot the man?"
"Yes, I shoot him; he going to shoot
me," was the man's reply.
NO REVOLVER FOUND.
No revolver was found upon Ral
mondl's person when the body was
searched by Coroner Longstreet. Noth
ing else was found except a piece of
meaningless paper. Abbate seemed
cool and unconcerned last night. He
frequently Inquired after the condition
of the men. He did not know that Rai
mondl was dead. The revolver which
is in the possession of the police is a
