A special course has been provided for teach ers who desire to spend the third term in college work. Courses of lectures will be given by Pro feasors Campbell and Coulter, while the prepara tory school will furnish work in the ordinary school branches. Laree numbers of teachers have expressed their intention of taking ad van tage of this opportunity. That the modern phase of education is rapidly wonting to the front is shown by the fact that the division between scientific and classical stu dents is about equal as to numbers and talent. The solid requirements of the German furni.h a good offiet to tbe Greek in the matter of mental discipline, while its practical bearing upon all todies, both linguistic and scientific, is becom ing more and more recognized.

ILLINOIS. Elne IUdge Township's Experience In Trying to Evade Payment of Bonds. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Champaign. Jan. 2G. Ten or fifteen years ago, when the railroad fever was raging in central Illinois, the citizens of Blue Ridge township, Piatt county, voted $40,000 worth of bonds to aid in building a road. The road did not prove the priceless boon the farmers had been led to believe it- would, and there being grounds for doubt as to the validity of the bonds, lawyers were employed to defend the township against tbeir payment in court. The lawyers failed to win their suit, and now they bring suit for a fee of $20,000. The farmers are ' considering the propriety of giving the railroad company and lawyers the township, in part payment of tbe obligations they owe them, and their notes for the balance.

Early this morning John Watts, a well-known character about the docks, entered George Wilson's liquor store, corner of South Water and Clark streets, accompanied by a male companion and two women. The quartet entered a wine-room in the rear. Shortly afterward three men entered the saloon, one of whom had a badly-bruised face and eye. This one listened at the door of the wine room, and then turning to his companions, said: "Now, I'm going to do him." With that he drew a long dirk from his pocket, and stepped bastily to the wineroom door. Pushing it open he saw John Watts sitting with his back to him, and, without a word of warning, the murderer bent over the unsuspecting man s shoulder, and plunged the dagger up to the hilt into his heart Jerking his bloody weapon out, he ran through the side door, followed by his chums, and escaped. Watts rolled from his chair with a wine-glass still clutched between bis fingers, and died in a few minutes. His friend left the saloon without waiting for developments, but the women were taken by the Harrison-street patrol, and-leeked in a cell at tbe Armory, where they are playing drunk and feigning entire ignorance of the mur der. Detectives have been detailed to capture the man with a black eye and his companions. It is believed they formed a conspiracy, and fol lowed the murdered man with the intention of killing him. It is stated that Watts had just returned from a ban, where be bad had a quar rel with the man who murdered him. The quarrel was over a woman, and Watts adminis tered a thrashing to tbe man, and tbe latter sought revenge by following Watts and murder ing him.Losses by Fire. Dallas. Tex., Jan. 26.

George Caldwell, while bear-hunting, a few days ago, on Balsam mountain, one of tbe highest mountains in North Carolina, discovered a man almost naked wandering aimlessly around in the snow, which was nearly two feet deep, and eight miles from the nearest habitation. On seeing Caldwell he started to run, but was easily overtaken and captured. His clothing was found to consist of a flannel undershirt which was torn into shreds, and one shoe. His feet were frost bitten and bis legs fearfully scratched by briars. ,He is a veritable living skeleton. All efforts to get bim to tell his name or give an intelligent account of himself have so far failed. When spoken to he becomes violent tries to get away, and talks deliriously about being a fireman on an engine la Charleston when the big shake came. It is with difficulty he can be made to take nourishment It supposed he was crazed by the earthquake shock of Aug. 31 and wandered to the mountains, but how he has lived this long is a mystery. Caldwell will take steps to restore him to his friends. Trunk Mytery at Baltimore. Baltimoke, Jan. 26 On Saturday last a large trunk was shipped from New York directed to "J. A. Wilson," this city, by the Adams ex press, ana arrived on Sunday, inere was no call for It, and this afternoon such an odor was emitted from it that the police of the Central district were notified. The trunk was removed to the station-house, and when opened revealed the body of a man with the feet and legs and left arm cut off and packed In with the body. There was no head. On the body was a calico shirt which bad on it the name "C. Kaufbold." There were also several cards found in the clothing bearing the name "E. D. Siege!, butcher, Throop avenue, Brooklyn, E. D." The body has the appearance of a young man, apparently of about 160 pounds, but, in the absence of the head, there can be no conjecture as to the age. The body is in the hands of the coroner, who has not yet determined whether he will hold an inquest The express people here have no idea by whom the trunk was shipped from New York. .Those who have tried' it say there is only one good cough medicine, and that is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. It is cheap, too, only 25 cents a bottle.

THE COAL-TRADE EMBARGO.

No Coal of Any Sort To Be Handled at New York byjlembersof the Union. Supply for Ocean Steamers and nr York and Brooklyn Consumers Cut Off A Combination That Promises Serious Eesults. New Yoke-, Jan. 26. The struggle of the striking longshoremen, that has, to a certain extent, become merged into that of the coalhandlers, was transferred to a field of wider pro portions to-day when it became known that the Knights of Labor had decided that no coal of any sort should be handled in the port of New York by union men, on the ground that all coal in the harbor now has been put aboard the barges by non-onion men. Thus the transferring of eoal to transatlantic and coastwise steamships cannot be undertaken by any union man. and the supply of coal to consumers in this city, Brooklyn and other points around the harbor of New York cannot be replenished by union men. The effect of the carrying out of the order of the Knights not to load coal became immediately ap parent all along the river fronts. All the ocean and coastwise steamship lines, with a few exceptions, suddenly found themselves deserted by the union 'longshoremen wherever there was coal to be transferred on the vessels. The exceptions were a few lines which employ their coalshovelers by the week. The order not to handle coal also extends to union men outside the port of New York. Even as far as New Orleans it is said that the union longshoremen and others are under obligation not to load vessels with coal. With the success of the coal-handlers the 'longshoremen, it is stated, could easily force the transatlantic and coastwise steampship lines to refuse to handle Old Dominion freisht The question of ordering a general strike cf the 'longshoremen is being considered, so it is b-"vid, by tbe executive board of the Ocean .Association of 'Longshoremen's Unions, and it is thought to be among the probabilities that not less than twenty thousand men will be idle to-morrow. A number of laborers residing at Tottenville were to day engaged to work at the Perth Amboy docks at $5 per day. The coal strike is having a serious effect on Staten Island. A number of the dealers have run short of their supplies and others are rapidly giving out. and will consent to sell only half a ton to regular customers. The supply of the cas company at Clifton is rapidly giving out The union coal trainmen on the Lehigh Valley road at Perth Amboy struck, to-day, because the road employed non-union men to handle the coal. This cu,ts down the force about twothirds. The company is endeavoring to hire new men. The Havemeyer Sugar Refining Company works, at Greenpoint. have been closed, throwing a large number of men out of work. Tbe company was compelled to suspend operations because of their coal supply running short, as a result of the coal-heavers' strike. Strike of 'Longshoremen. New York, Jan. 26. At 1 p. m. all the longshoremen working by the hour employed by the National and Cunard steamship companies went on strike. They had been at work up to 12 o'clock, and on going away for dinner gave no intimation to their superintendent that they did not intend to return to work at 1 o'clock. "The 'longshoremen employed by tbe National line struck because the company had 'employed Italians to work in the grain elevator. The grain had been shipped, it was said, by nonunion men. The trouble on the Cunard dock was that the superintendent had taken some of the old-time hands and given them steady employment at the rate of $16 a week. The smen who worked by the hour said that the new weekly men would be evectually compelled to nnload the barges, or at least that an attempt would be made to have them do so. The longshoremen -who work for the Providence line h'a-v demanded 30 cents an hour. They have beeft-fTBrttnc 25 cents. Some new men were taken cn, and several policemen were sent to see that they were not molested. The line employs about one hundred time men and forty weekly hands, who get $2 per day. An effort will be made to get the weekly men out cn strike also. About 4 o'clock this afternoon 170 'longshoremen employed on the Red Star and Inman steamship companies' docks, at. Jersey City, . struck. The strike was caused by the arrival of a grain elevator to load the Red Star steamship Pennland. The elevator is manned by nonunion men. Superintendent Brewster offered the men $15 per week and 40 cents per hour for over time if they would resume work, but ihey refused. Tbe 200 'longshoremen employed on the Wilson-line dock at Hoboken, who struck yesterday because they were ordered to handle the boycotted freight from the Old Dominion line, did not resume work to-day. About thirty 'longshoremen employed on the barge A. D. Killduff, at Hobokeu, struck this morning in sympathy with th other strikers. They were visited by walking delegates. - The bargewas discharging coal at the chute of the Hoboken Ferry Company, and unless the company receives a supply of coal in a fewdays, the ferry-boats will be obliged to stop running. The steamer Island, of the Thingvalla line, from Hoboken, is registered to sail on Saturday, but its departure may be de layed, as the company has not been able to get a supply of coal. The Home Club Men Defeated. New York, Jan. 20. The strike at Higgins's carpet factory ended this afternoon. jThe 2.500 emJye8 will " to-morrow morning return to their work. The carpet workers are in a nation al district, No. 126, of the Knights of Labor. The district master workman is John i Morrison, who has been so relentlessly opposed by the Home Club. Some time ago the Home Club started an organization known as the Mutual Protective Carpet-workers' Union among the Higgins employes. This was done to divide the members of the carpet-workers' district and to weaken Morrison's influence. The nroDrietors of the factory were led to believe that they had succeeaea in tneir purpose, several members of the carpet-workers' district were discharged and a reduction of 10 per cent in wages announced to occur Feb. 1. At a meeting, Saturday night of the employes a strike was ordered. On Monday morning the 2.500 employes refused to go to work. They have been on strike since. The executive board of the district has had several conferences with the proprietors, who admitted that they had no idea that the organization was so strong. They agreed to take back all hands, to discharge no more without cause, to cease all hostility to the order, and to withdraw the proposition to reduce the wages 10 per cent The senior member of the firm, E. S. Higgins, refused to agroe to the last clause, however, and the conference proved futile. Another con ference to day resulted m a satisfactory settle ment of all points. The Knights of Labor will resume work to-morrow. The exact terms of the final settlement were refused. It is known, however, that a victory has been won over the Home Club men. The members of the Mutual Aid Protective Uarpet-workers Association were ordered this afternoon to leave the factory, pending a later decision or their case. As they are Knights of Labor, by remaining at work while their sister and brother members were on strike, they are uauie iu tjipuitsion irum me order. Another Contest Inaugurated. Worcester, Mass., Jan. 26. The boot manu facturers of this city, Speseer and North Brookfield, to-day, posted the following notice in their factories: Recognizing the fact that justice can only be obtained by according to both employer and employe the right of individual contract for his or her labor, this factory will be open hereafter only to snch operatives as will agree to deal individually with the firm or its accredited representative. Why Ertisnn'e Men Struck. Newark, N. J., Jan. 26 Between three and five hundred hands employed in the Edison elec-tric-lightjvprks at Harrison struck to-day. The cause of the trouble was the discharge of one of .the boys, who, it was discovered, had broken

about two hundred and fifty of the glass lamps stored In the building. A committee of the Knights of Labor had waited on Superintendent Upton and demanded the reinstatement of the boy and the dismissal of the foreman. This was refused, and the strike was "thereupon ordered. Many of the hands attempted to go to work this morning, but were prevented from doing so by the violent actions of the strikers.

Threatened Strike of Car-Drivers. Cleveland, O., Jan. 26. The last week has witnessed a good deal of agitation among streetcar drivers and conductors relative to the overwork they are subjected to, and matters are so rapidly coming to a focus that it is hinted a strike may occur any day. It is agreed that, at the word "strike," nearly the whole force will leave the cars. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. A boiler in the Havey paper-mill, at Wellsburg, W. Va., exploded to-day, killing John and Thomas Nelson, and severely injuring Joh Parish. . The damage to the building was' $2,000.

He arrived on Tuesday, and intended to leave at noon yesterday for Erie, Pa. He was proprietor of an iron works at Dayton, Suppressing a Gusher. Wllkesbsrre Special. Among others to greet Senator Farwell, this morning, was Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, who, with his customary gushing style, rushed tip with both hands outstretched, and exclaimed: "Charley, old fellow, I'm delighted to see you here; l congratulate you upon your election, but I congratulate the Senate more upon so valuable an accession. You always were one of the best fellows in the world, and I suppose von haven t changed, have your Now, Blackburn was the chairman of the committee on elections which turned Parwell out of the House of Representatives in the Forty-fifth Congress and gave bis seat to John V. LeMoyne. The two had fot met since that event till to day, and when Farwell heard the cordial greet ing of the Senator from Kentucky he could not resist giving him a tap on the memory, bo to speak. When Blackburn' remarked, "You haven't changed, have you?" Farwell replied: ."No; you're the fellow thai has changed. The last time we met you drove me out of the House or Representatives; but you can t drive me out of this place." Blackburn took the retort goodnaturedly, and told several of his friends that Farwell gave him the hardest rap he had felt for many a year. "But," he added, "I like him for it" Pnglllsts Sentenced to Prison". Cleveland, O.. Jan. 26.

Terre Haute Gazette (Pern. 1 The Gazette is informed on excellent Repub lican authoritv that Wesley Glover, the Repub lican member of the Legislature from Vigo county, pledged himself squarely and unequivoc ally, as did Henry Ulay Lnckerson, to vote with the Republicans on all political questions.

Lnfarette Journal. There are a few politicians in Lafayette who would have made it tolerably unpleasant for Green Smith. One of tbem said the other day that if he had been on the floor of the Senate and Green Smith bad said "set down" to him, as he did to tnarrv, that he would have said his piece, unless they had knocked him down and carried him out As it is over there, it is a Green Smith affair, and he rules the roost Representative Loop Vindicated. Kokomo Gazette-Tribune. The Dispatch was in error in stating that Rep. resentative Loop voted against unseating Meagher.
