All who had a general average below 80 per cunt were given third- class. This had a ( ; oed effect , us It caused those touchers who had been teaching on a low average to study or emit teaching. The result has been that there has been a marked increase in the sdiolitrship of the teachers of the county , so much so Unit the schools can bu supplied with to.ichers. without issuing nay third-class certificates.

Ho was feeling pretty well yesterday but was still compelled to rely on crutches , nnd use a had : to got to and from the court house. The injunction suit against the city In which James Madden seeks to prevent the letting of contracts for brick paving was pre sented to Judge Dwincr , who accided to set the time of hearing for Thursday morning. Judge Aylesworth in behalf of the peti tioner , asked that the court Issue a restrain ing order , directing that the city make no contracts until the hearing was had. City Attorney Stewart nskod to bo heard before such a restraining order wns issued , and the matter went over until nfternoon , when tlio court decided to issue the order. Finloy. Burlto hns been engaged to assist the city at torney in this suit , widen promises to bo hotly contested. It Is claimed on the part of those seeking the Injunction tint the city cannot incur further debt , having reached a limit , It is also urged that the paving of some of the streets named would prove a hardship on property owners. There is also tnlk of there Doing n combine among the briclc men by which the prices are advanced in view of the probability of paving being let. A motion was beard for : i judgment ngainst P.

In this box was some sort of an arrangement by which gasollno was changed Into a sickening , deadly gas. amUvhlloho was manipulating the garmunts lie li.ul to breatliu this until ho became so diziy Unit he would reel out for fresh air. Ills employer kept telling him that ho would soon got used to it , nnd especially if ho took nn occasional glass of beer to help bliirget along. Ho kept try ing to follow instructions , but instead of get ting used to breathing this gas ho got worse and worse , had to quit work , became broken down in health , was doctored , and went from worse to no better. Such wore the causes which led him to step Into court and ask for MHX ( ) damages. Among his witnesses was Mr. Mudijin , who runs n rival dyeing and cleansing estab lishment. Ho testified that ho would not think of doing this gasoline act. In n building. It was too dangerous. The gas was bail to talio. He always did such work in thu fjxn | air , nnd uvcn then it sometimes affected thu person so employed. The procois in detJiil wns gene over /pilto at length.

Several foolish sort of stories were started , most of them to the effect that Manager Hnrkncss hail shown too little tact and too much sever ity In trying to enforce the rule * of the asso ciation , nnd that those troubles had resulted in the resignation , As other and wholly dif ferent re.wons led him to proffer his resigna tion , he Wiis somi'Wlnt surprised to htur such causes nssignod and ha haitJiied to withdraw the document lest some such In- forenee might bo drawn.

Sunday night ho was very restless and the wound in his neck swelled n great deal and rendered breathing dilllcult. . Tlio swelling was re duced yesterday , but not sulllcient to permit the surgeon to remove the sutures from the wound. Hull has become very morose nnd uncom municative , and will neither talk to his physician , attendants or the reporters. The report that ho has threatened to kill his oldest daughter If ho gets an opportunity is denied by the ofllcers who have charge of him. Tlio girl became frightened by the rumor nnd de clared that she" knew her father would kill her when he got out , and supposing ho would bo at liberty as soon as ho was discharged' from the "hospital , she gathered up her property and left the city Sunday afternoon.

A big fellow named Erickson , an employe of one of the agricultural implement houses in this city , wns terrorizing the crowd in a nine-pin alley , when the llttlo fellow made some remark about the necessity of giving the giant a thrashing. The big fellow heard the remark nnd walked over to where the boy was standIng - Ing nnd without any other provocation struck him a terrible blow with his list , The boy was knocked down , but not hurt seriously , nnd while the spectators were trying to shame the big ruftlnn the llttlo fellow dis- nppeared behind the building to reappear on the other side a moment later with a plank In his hand. Ho ran straight up to Erickson and before ho could pull himself together for defense the bov hit him n fearful blow on the side of the head with the board. The giant was knocked senseless , nnd it was thought for a few moments that no was killed. He was picked up and carried into the postofllce , nnd after ten minutes' work and plentiful applica tions of cold water und whisky , ho was re vived. It Is said that Erickson has been the cause of nearly till the brawls that have occurred at the lake this summer , nnd the splendid thrashing the boy gave him was merited and keenly appreciated by the luke management.

One of ilio Mo.m iCcinnrkabio 15ii ulnccrliiK 1'eius of tlie Century. Of till the monuments of IhisconlurVi the stupendous bridge across tlio Forth , In Scotland , is the grandest nud most sui'iirijili'construction. ) } Tlio Firth of Forth Is ti wide estuary , so deeply indenting - denting thu eastern const of Scotland its to nccut < slliito nn ux penal vu und tedious transshipment of connnereo across the gulf , or a IOIIL' dolour around it , sfaysn writer in Frank Leslie's Monthly tor August. For twenty-llvo years eirorts huvo boon made to obtain a permanent wny over tlio orftuavv , hut the ' dilllcultios to' bo cncoitntereu were to grout Unit it is only within the lust ItuU of the "past duuiidu tlmt englnucriiifj yoti- ins ana nieehunU'al sslclll hnvo been suf- llclcntly developed to render this grctit- ebt of metal structures ti possibility. A few miles \\v t of Edinburgh the llrtli , or gulf , suddenly contract ' lotiil- in'in } ancient times to the establish ment of a ferry between Fifo on the north and the town of Qucensferry on the south. The esilmiry hero Istilittlo less than a inllo niul a half wide , and very opportunely ti small rocky islet exists almost In the center , which , for merly the homo of tv horde of pirates , now becomes the central pier of the yi cat briil no. Curiously , also , Unit part of the gulf lying1 between Queonsferry and Fifo con tains tlio only rock to ba found for milen above the mouth , tliua marking the ono appropriate place where adequate foun dations for so mtumnoth a structure ean bo obtained. Between tlio little island and either shore extends a space of nearly half a mile , where no foundation was feasible , nnd which , therefore , must bo crossed without u hinglo pier , thus outspntining by several hundred foot all existing bridges. Serious gales sweeping through tlio estuary exert on tlio surface of so ex posed u structure an enormous force , nnd to avoid a parallel catastrophe to tlmt. cngulling the unfortunate Ttiy bridge the most skillful engineering hns been e.xereihed. As the bridge runs nearly north nnd south , in the morning the east bide , nnd in the nfternoon the west side , is exposed directly to tlio rays of the sun , while the corresponding on- posito sides are in thocool shadow. As u result , tcniporaturo stresses are intro duced , causing tlio whole muss to wrig gle nnd twist to a coiiHidorublo degree. In so largo a mutal mass effects of tem perature must bo carefully provided for , lost its insidious operation shall lead to destruction. Commencing at Quecnsferry on tlio south , the approtu'he/a / to tlio bridge , ron- Siisting of ton short girders , of Ki8 feet span , extend over the low shores to the lirst great enntilcvoV. From the msiln iibutmont , the entire firth Is crossed by three immense trusses forming two cen tral spans , each 1,710 feet in the clenr , with two wide spans of 0)0 ! ) feet. The trusses are balanced upon their foundations , and the woiglit of a passing train transmitted through them is re sisted as nn upward pull by the anchor age on either side erf the gulf. The cnn- tilover-bridgo possesses n very marked advantage in thoeaso with which it maybe bo erected , for this very property of bal ancing on its foundations enables tlio engineer to build out over the water simultaneously in both directions , using the truss-work of the bridge us the scaffold on which to erect additional pieces as fast as it is completed. By this means the axponso of underneath sup ports , which would have been enormous in tlio case now xitider consideration , where the depth of water in the gulf is over 200 feet , is entirely avoided. The railway track crosses the bridge at the height of about ono hundred and ' 'fifty feet above the water , giving , ample head room for vessels of all descriptions beneath the rails : while above tlio track the huge trusses tower upward more than two hundred additional foot. To withstand the violent gales of the Forth , the bridge has boon proportioned to re sist a wind pressure of about 8,000 tons , and in the structure it self nearly 00,000 tons of steel have been employed. At liny ono time the weight of trains on the bridge would not exceed i,000 ] tons , so that , curiously enough , the weight of the structure itself is thirty times that of the load which it is intended to carry , wlillo the wind pressurosaro at least four times as great.

Felix Oswald Tells Something I'orccaKtlnn the Weather. Neither dikes nor reservoirs could pre vent the ravages'of sudden Hoods , and no naval architect has thus far devised a plan for the construction of a com pletely storm-proof sliip , but experience has at least tnught ns to avoid perils which wo cannot resist. The meteor ological observatories of sixteen dilTor- ont nations have been very busy in the course of the last lifty years , and if the direction of a storm could bo pro- dieted as successfully as its imminence , disastrous Hoods and hurricanes would rarely como unexpected , writes Dr. Felix L. Oswald in Frank Leslie's Monthly. A gale originating in the plains of West ern Kansas , nnd keeping a straight eastward course aw far an St. Louis , Mo. , may sudi'eiily ' turn southwest on striking the valley of tlio Mississippi , and thus save Oaio and Pennsylvania from the predicted visitation.

On a certain occasion Marie Antoin ette asked her prlnio minister whether or not a project which she contemplated could bo accompllshi'd , and Ills ivplv was , "Mndnmo , if impossible , it shall bo done. " Of course the Impossible cannot bo achieved ; but "impossibility" would not Boom to have hud any place In the vocab ulary of tlioso who have attained distinction , says a writer in Harper's Young People. "Kxporloneo is the bast of teachers , ' nnd wo learn from the ex- jierlonco of oilier. * , if wo have not ns yet learned from our own experience that tireless exertion and steadfastness of purpose will remove whatever obstacles may bar one's way to the proudest onil- nonce. Anderson , the popular Danish author , was the son of n cobbler , and in his earlier years worked "on the boneh" most industriously , doing his lirst lit erary work on scraps of paper kept beside - side him , in the moinents whenlio rest Oil from his regular duties. Arsaces , who founded the Parthian cmpiro , against which tho.mighty hosts of Homo long contended in vain , was a mechanic of obscure origin. Borangcr , the celebrated French poet , wandered about 1'uris in a stale of pitia ble destitution until lie obtained a situ ation as pot-boy that is , to carry pots of beer in piibllc-liouses and restaurants. Burns was the son of a small farmer , nnd at an early ago displu veil an aypotito for learning which ho had few oppor tunities for gratifying'as is shown In the most brilliant of his poems. Can-era , beginning1 life ns a drummer- boy and driver of cattle , iwo to the presidency of the ropublbjof Guatemala. Catherine , empress of lUtssia , in some respects ono of the most remarkable women that over lived , was a peasant girl of Livonia and n camp grisotto. Demostlioncs , the Grecian orator and "prince of eloquence , " was the son of a blacksmith. In his first attempt at pub lic speaking lie displayed such a weak ness of voice , imperfect articulation and awkwardness that ho withdrew from tlio speaker's platform amidst the hooting and laughter of his hearers. Giotto , noted as u painter , sculptor , architect , worker in mosaic and really the founder of tlio modern Italian art , was a shepherd boy whom Cimahiio dis covered drawing snoop on the sand with a pointed stone with an accuracy that In dicated a natural artistic ability , and bo ho took him as a student. Handel was nearly lifly years of ago when ho published the first of those musical compositions which have im- mortali'/cd his name. Sir Isaac Newton while attending school was considered t > v his teachers but little bettor than an idiot ; and Slior- idan , the celebrated play writer , was presented by his mother to a tutor as a "blockhead. " The foregoing examples prove conclu sively that an humble origin , povertv , natural defects , age , or physical ail ments need not prevent the attainment of distinction , and they should bu en couraging , especially to the young.

In the month of January , 1S5S , Cap tain John Illuming- Spoke , attached to the expedition of the famous captain , now Sir .Richard Burton , reached the southern extremity of the great inland sea situated south of the equator , which ho called the "Victoria Nynnza. " Speko's discovery was , however , incom plete , many geographers claiming tlmt the river which ( lowed out of the lake in the north was not nor could it bo the Nile , writes Colonel Chaillo Long in Harper's AVepkly. Spoke endeavored to trace this river , but when a short dis tance from the hike , ho was driven from the river and wns forced to abandon his project , leaving the question still one of geographical discussion and doubt. Ismail Pasha , khedlvc , imbued with tlio ambition to emulate his illustrious sire discover the source of Egypt's great river and extend his domain to its head waters authorized Sir Samuel Baker to undertake a voyage of discov ery , which resulted in the finding of a laKe ( in 1804) ) , which ho called the Al bert Nyan/.a , situated between the first and second parallels north. Baker thus discovered the second Nile source. Sir Snmuol subsequently was appointed governor general of the equatorial prov inces of Kgypt , and was replaced by Gen eral Gordon in February , 1871. The writer , then an olllcer in the general stall of the Kg.\ptinn army , was chosen as chief of stall to Gpncnfl Gordon , and immediately on his arrival at Gondocoro undertook to complete the unlinislied work of Captain Spoke at the same time that ho was urgently ordered to reach the capital of the famous M'Tesn , king of Uganda , with the view of antic ipating the "Stanley Herald and London Telegraph Expedition , " then about to hot out from Eng land. As may bo seen by the book pub lished on this subject , a treaty was made with the king just nine months before Stanley's arrival , who found the ground taken by the khodivo's military sta tions , extending to the Lake Victoria itself. It was a sore disappointment to Stanley , for the even then coveted coun try of Uganda had become Egyptian ter ritory , as manifested in the following of ficial note , communicated by the Egyp tian minister for foreign all'alrs to' the representatives of all the great powers. It said : "There is accomplished the annexa tion to Egypt of all the territories situated ' ted in nnd'iirbund the great lakes Vic toria and Albert and their allluonts. " \Vo are happy to liavo to announce the result of Unit expedition , which has suc ceeded , duo to the energy and devotion of those who have accomplished it under the direction of Gordon Pashn , and in the generous tmirit of aiding in the fecundation of these countries by civili zation , by agriculture and by com merce , " In addition to the diplomatic coup do main , which had boon the lirst intention ami object of his mission , accomplished under hardships and almost unp'iralloled in the history of travel , the Amorioo- Egyptian olllcer descended the river , anil after great suffering and endurance , and accompanied only with two faithful boldiors ami two servants , ho traced tlio stream tolls connecting point with Lake Albert , thus solving liaully and forever the problem of the ATilo sources and at the hamo time adillng another Ifiko to the system in the discovery of Luke Ib rahim. Mr. Henry At. Stanley's nnmu has not been mentioned here among those who may claim to bo the dlhcovororn of the 'llo pources. Mr. Stanley is not a Nlln Source discoverer , in fact. Ho did not discover the Victoria or tlio Albert Ny- an/.UH , nor l.uko Ibrahim , and these lakes constitiilo the Nile nources , and none others.
