KNIGHT'S CHARGES WERE NOT PROVED ACCUSED A NOIITH END SCHOOL TEACHER OF DRUNKENNESS. Toachers Committee, Who Has Heard All tho Testimony In tho Case, Decided at Last Night's Hearing That the Chargo Was Not Sub stantiated by tho Evidence Mr. Casoy, tho Accused Teacher's Champion, Has Somo Lively Tilts with tho Complainant. Some spirited proceedings developed at last night's hearing of the charge of drunkenness preferred ngnlnst James H. O'ISoylc, a night school teacher at No. 21 school, by 12. A. Knight, a mer chant. The case has developed quite a little Interest among residents of the North End suction of the city. The teachers' committee of tho board of control finally udnpted a resolution to the effect that sufficient evidence to substantiate tho chargo had not been presented. The hearing was held In the board of control rooms.. The fol lowing members of the teachers' com mittee were present: P. J. Langan, chairman; John Gibbons, J. M. Casey, 11. G. O'Mnlley, D. J. Roche, B. T. Jayne. Other members, including Presi dent Francois, were present, as were Superintendent Howell nnd n numbsr of witnesses and spectators. A CONTROVERSY. The controversy between Mr. Knight and Controllers Casoy and O'Mnlley be gan at tho outset of the hearing Mr. Knight charged Mr. Casey with giving too much lattltude to his opinions In public. He said Mr. Casoy had ven tured the statement that Mr. O'Boylo was Innocent nnd in so stating had ruined his eligibility to pass upon the cave, as ho had thus declared himself prejudiced. When Mr. Casey had a chance to bo heard he was very indignant and de manded the name of Mr. Knight's in formant. A Ions squabble over this point ensued until a motion prevailed that Mr. Knight reveal the tource of his Information. Mr. Knight then tald Mr. O'Mnlley, on; of tho committee, was his Inform ant. Mr. O'Mnlley refuted the remarks accredited to him, but raid he had ven tured tho opinion that the trouble arose from a family quarrel. MIssNoutii and Miss Golden, tearh ertf'ln No. 24 night school, testified that they never saw Mr. O'Boylo intoxicat ed. ' The Same testimony was offered by Mrtrtin Joyce, truant officer. SPECIFIC CHARGES. Mr, Knight made his charge spc-lllc by alleging that on Dec. 8, about 9.15 o'clock, Mr. O'Boylo came to the store of the witness In an Intoxicated con dition and was very abusive. Mr. O'Boylo. the Itncss alleged, told him (Knight) to po to President Francois and try and get him "fired." Mr. O'P.oyle defied the witness to do this nnd said his "pull" would stand any thing that Mr. Knight might attempt to do. Mr. Casey contributed to what lu dicrous features the proceedings devel oped. He examined Mr. Knight nnd tried to bring out the fact that the trouble arose over the failure of Mr. Knight to Induce the tsucher to sell cigars for him. Mr. O'Boylo admitted he went to the complainant's store and that the lat ter wanted the witness to induce his brother-in-law to buy cigars from him. Tho witness refused. He admitted saying to Mr. Knight "you and your cigars are no good." Hx-Councllnian P. F. Gordon and James II. Reilly testified that the ac cused teacher was sober on tho night of Dec. t.. Regarding the cross-examination of the witnesses, Mr. Casey and Mr. Knight had n number of verbal tilts which put considerable spirit into tho hearing. After all the evidence had been heard the committee) quickly reached a ver dl.it that the charge had not b"en proved. BOARD OF TRADE PRESIDENTS. Portraits of All But Two Have Been Painted.

It was seven days succeeding the election that tliey moved as her husband had testi fied and as she had told Detective Rey nolds when he called at her hoime to "quIz" her. She swore positively that she bad not been subpoenaed; that Mr. Reynolds simply tried to get her to say that they had moved previous to election day. He said nothing whatever to her about coming before tho examiners and served no paper of any description on her.

FIREMEN'S RELIEF OFFICERS ELECTED ANNUAL MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT IN THE CITY HALL. Only a Few of Sovoral By-Law Amendments Woro Adopted Owing to a Dlfleronco of Opinion as to Using tho State Fund for Gon cral Purposes Amendment Offered Which May Result in a Voto at tho January Meeting to Aholish tho Contingent Fund. Officers were elected nnd several Im portant amendments to tho by-laws adopted at last night's meeting of the Firemen's Relief association In the common council chambers. It was the annual meeting, which accounted for the large number of representative del egates present from the several com panies. Chief P. J. Illckcy was not present. A. B. Holmes was elected chairman pro tern. Ofllcers wcro elected as follows: Pres ident, P. J. Hlckey, chief of the fire de partment; vice president, J. W. Moir, of Nay Aug company; treasurer, A. B. Holmes, of Columbia company; sec retary, Emll Bonn, of Century com pany; trustee for three years, Peter Robllng, Jr., of Neptune company. To the question raised as to the legality of Chief Illckey serving ns president, It was stated that he had been elected a delegate from Century company, of which he Is a member. LONG DISCUSSION. Tho amendments, which, by rtil , had been offered nt tho previous stated meeting, provoked a long discussion. Among those adopted were the follow ing: That any delegate or representative to this association who absents himself from thrco or more successlvo meetings, un less by reason of illness or absence from the city, shall bo declared suspended by tho president, and tho company affected thereby shall Immediately bo notified by the secretary to elect another delegate or represeutatlvo to fill tho vacancy and servo tho unexpired term. It shall bo the iluty of the various rep resentatives to furnish the spcretary of this association with a full and complete list of tho members of their respective companies at the stated meeting of Jan uary in each year. The following were tabled: Should any ccinpany In tho department retus or neglect to pay their mutual dM';s to this association, members of such com pany may enjoy all the rights and privi leges of this essoclatlon upon the pay ment of one dollar per annum. District physicians shall ieceivo tho sum of three dollars fcr each case where they niv called In to visit and examine such slek or disabled members. The two tabled amendments were not disposed of for the purpose ot putting them aside Indefinitely. If adopted they would make tho by-laws conflicting and It is proposed to de termine the pioper amendments later covering these two points. For a different reason was tubled an amendment providing for un increase in the secretary's salary from $50 to $75 per year. It was held that $5 or $100 would not be too largo a salury, but several of the delegates argued that their companies could not afford to pay It. QUESTION OF LEGALITY. It was the opinion of several that general expenses could be paid legal ly out ot the fund received from the state. In that event there would bo no objection to the increased salary and the contingent fund, now provid ed by assessment, could be abolished. To test this feature. Mr. Giier offered two amendments to bo considered at the next meeting as follows: That the secretary's salary be Increased from $50 to $1UU; that contingent expenses be paid out of the stute fund. The report of the auditing commit tee was as follows: We find the accounts collect und the books kept In a business like manner.
