He wished that the law should state that the levy niicbt be made an Dually till the house was built.

In the same section (Xo. 7, article 8) be moved that the hut sentence be stricken out. He said that the part of the school law fixing the length of the school month should be amended so as to fix the school day also. There ought, also, to be an amendment of the law providing for the examination of applicants to be County Superintendent, stating clearly to whom the fee for such exami nation slum be paid. Also, be advised that section 10, article be stricken out.

or the certificate then pro vided for be made a certilicate giving the richt to teach not merely honorary: section 25, article 11, be amended by giving the nicer a per cent, on the money pniu oui and section 1. articles, by making the Chair man of the Board of Trustees the appointing nicer.

BOARD OF CONTROL. The renort of the Board of Control of the Reading Circle was called for. The board, which consists of Prof. Goodnight, President, and Profs. A.

C. Goodwin and A. W. Mill, reoorted as follows: The President nd Board of Control or the Heading Circle of this association re-lect fully report that the work has not grown rapidly, and is still small in comparison with tbe teaching force of the State. Soma seven thousand teachers are employed every year in the public schools of tbe ot more than one nuuorea ot inu numuer enrolled.

There are probably from one hundred and fifty to two hundred who are pursuing the course for reading this year. 1 1 'A few counties, have inaugurated teachers' county libraries ana are growing in grace by this means, inree hundred will probably cover all who are making specialintellisent efforts to improve in tbe science of teaching. These facts indicate no special boom in this business. It may be assumed than one-third ot our teacn- ers do not teach exceeding one year; another third not more than two years, tbe otner third not exceeding three to four years. THE PERMANENT TEACHING force is.

therefore, not more than 2,000, most of whom are in the cities and towns. We think there is enough of good workdo-ine bv the readme circle to justify its con tinuance lor the next year, with a third-year course of reading. We recommend that the County Superintendent ne urged again to take hold of this work and make it a power for the growth of their teachers. It can never succeed grandly except through the agency of County Superintendents. In the indifference and apathy of most of them lie the meager results of this work in our tState.

The terra for which Mr. Goodnight wa elected President expires with this meeting. We recommend that his place be tilled by tne Association before the final adjournment. That the Association elect a President of tbe Reading Circle Work. That the modifications of last year be continued for the ensuing year." THE REPORT CONCURRED III.

The committee appointed in the morning to consider the question of Federal aid, reaffirmed the rvi-ort oi the Committee on Federal Aid, which was adopted by the association in 1M. A motion that the rejwrt be readout, was made and carried. 1 he report was' favorable to Federal aid. and urged the Senators and Representatives in the next Congress to support a bill to secure a distribution of a portion of the surplus on a basis of illiteracy for the purpose of common school education, and to be controlled by State authority. The Association then separated into seo tions and aliout o'clock returned and read report to the convention.

in the Common School Section Prof. A. C. tioodwin was elected President; Miss Bettie Riltv, of Catupliell county, Vice President; Mr. Felix McCarthy, of RuaseU-ville, Secretary.

COMPCI.SORT EOOCATIOX. The question of compulsory education was discussed at length, and referred to the next meeting of the section. The following were pointod a programme committee: Miss Sallie K. Beard, Ruth Murray and Prof. H.

K. Roberts, all of Louisville, to prepare a programme for next session. Adjourned. rcperintejvokst'b sectiow. The Superintendent's Section had elected oflicers at a previous meeting.

Mr. Morton, Secretary of the Section, reported that they hud discussed the questions on School Law referred to them. The item calling for one instead of three had beu rejected. They had discussed the question of County Superintendents' salary, and recommended that each Superintendent be paid a sum equal to 8 per cent, of the public-sctiool fund disbursed by him. They had also discussed the question of paying teachers according to grade.

The discussion brought out tbe fact that such a measure was not prevented by tLe State Constitution. OX NORMAL SCHOOLS. The Committee on Normal Schools, con sisting of W. J. McConathy, R.

L. Garrison and lliram Koberts, reported, recommending the report of the Committee on Normal Schools, read before tbe association in lBhl. as the best and most efficient that could be suggested. The report also recommended that the association appoint a committee from tne present body to memorialize the next ueisiature to enact a law in conform' itv therewith. At tbe session of the section of college teachers, the Committee on Permanent Or ganization recommended the present Chair man as Permanent Chairman.

1 he Com mittee on Academic and Collegiate Standards reported. Recommitted. It was then moved by I'rof Roark that it is the sense of the body that it heartily indorse both eoual and co-equal education of the sexes. This was substituted by the following: ICexolied. That we heartily indorse the admittance of lioth sexes to the same educational facili ties." Dr.

Poynter, of Shelbyville, being present the rejiort of the Committee on the Relation of Private and Denominational to I'ublic Schools was called for. Dr. Poynter read a paper discussing tbe subject at length. It was then requested that as Mr. Taylor, of Kussellvuie, a member ol the new committee on that question, had prepared a paper on the subject, it should also be read.

Eailroad Officials to Meet at Old Point Comfort Next Week. Tbe Southern Passenger Association's Agreements Mississippi Yilley Physicians at Crab Crchiri Louisville People Leaving For Piscatorial and Mountain Resorts. Tar TTtsttra Lines Trying to Make Up Their Hinds to Uphold Rates Some More.

NOTES OT UTTEHEBT. There will be a numerous gathering of railroad men at Old Point Comfort next week. The Rate Clerks will hold a meeting on Monday, July 11, and the General Passenger Agents and managing officers of the various lines will assemble on Wednesday, July 13. At the recent meeting of the Southern Passenger Association, at Fortress Monroe, a committee was appointed to make such modifications or amendments to tbe articles of agreement of the association, or such recommendations as would result in the permanency of the association and harmony of operation. It waa composed of one representative from the Louisville and Xashville, the Queen and Crescent, the Piedmont Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, and the ba-vannah, Florida and Western railway.

C. P. Atmore, the representative on the committee for the Louisville and Nashville, has been carefully reviewing the agreement as it has existed for some time. In response to an inquiry from the Cocbier-Jocrxai. reporter Mr.

Atmore said last evening: "We are now better prepared to see the good and bad points of the agreement than we were when it was first adopted. In all probability the working operation of the interstate commerce law will radically change the present agreement, which was an agreement looking; more to the "routine of rates than for any other special ooject. tne agreement in regard to excursion business will be revised, as the present agreement works hardsbips on purely local business, and has been found, in many cases, an actual hindrance to conducting local busi- Cheap Transportation. There is a prevalent opinion among gen eral passenger agents that within a couple of years a rate of two cents a mile will prevail universally in all of the States east of Illi nois. There is but little donbt that the Michigan Legislature will, at its coming session, pass a law making that the established rate, and tbe feelwir in Ohio for a similar re duction is strong.

The roads will liht it oft as long as possible, making concessions to travelers by issuing wo-thousaud-niile ticket to families and firms at that rate, but this will not satiafy tbe public. The roads have done a great deal of boasting relative to their increased income from passenger traffic on account of the abolishment of passes, and it is felt that, such being the case, all of the bene tits should not accrue to the railroads. It was an old argument of the otlicials that they were burdened with so much tree transportation which tbey could not escape that tne cutting down of regular rates as out of the question. Now that they have heroically swept that abuse out of existence, this plea no longer affords justification for tbe holding up of fares, and it would be graceful and politic for the roads to make the con cession voluntarily without waiting for the inevivauie. A Railroad Knit.

Tbe Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railroad Company has com menced an action of assumpsit in the Circuit Court at St. Louis against the Tiffany Re frigerator Car Company to recover damages. The declaration avers that the de fendants, September 3 last, entered into a contract with the plaintiff to build 250 refrigerator cars and deliver them to the plaintiff before December. IS.

The railroad was to pay three-quarters of a cant per mile mileage for the use of the cars, and was to make repairs. It was to have the privilege of purchasing the oars at any time after two years from the date of the contract for the cost price, less 6 per cent, ner annum for dnnra. ciation. The defendant has wholly failed to furnish any of the cars contracted fcr. It is claimed that this has already entailed upon the road a loss of SoO.iiOO in freights.

It is also claimed that the cost of refrigerator cars and also the cost of mileage has risen 25 per ceut. since the date of the contract. The railroad company place its total damages at Crab Orchard Medical Conference. The L. and N.

has taken steps to secure special rates from north of the Ohio river. as well as south, for attendance npon the Mississippi Valley Medical Association at Crab Orchard on July 13. In response to in quiry, C. P. Atmore, General Passenger Agent, received a message from George H.

Daniels, Commissioner of the Central TraRic Association, Passenger Department, at Chicago, in which he says that the time is too short to take un the mutter of in mn nection with the meeting. Agent Atmore says that reduced rates will be granted from all points on the line of the L. and N. on the caruncate plan. Railroad Extension.

The outlook for extensive railroad building In Southern Illinois this fall is bright. The extension of the Marion division of the Cairo Short Line to Paducah, and the completion of a new road from Metropolis to St. Elmo will start a boom for the Southeastern part of the State. To this may be added the extension of the Jacksonville Southwestern from Centralia to Mount Vernon, the survey and preliminaries of the extension being all completed. The Centralia and St.

Genevieve will give the Southwest a new impetus and open up tbe coal and mineral fields in the vicinity ot oparta. Into the Mountains. The L. and N. in connection with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, has inaugurated a through service to the mountain resorts of Western North Carolina.

Special. A. branch railroad from Hartford, to Ticbenor, a station on the U. and X. division of the L.

and N. system, a distance of fourteen miles, is being talked favorably of by local capital Uta. The route is one of unusual wealth. i it runs throurh a larre area of fertilaarri- cultoral land and extensive tracts of timber land; also coal abounds in large quantities. It is estimated to cost about tl.ViO for the road-bed and ties, and the projectors ask Owenaboro to take half of tbe stock.

Owens-boro will do her full duty, but at present she has her bands full with the St. L. and T. The City Council will eive the St. L.

and T. railroad one more offer, and wh this is done Owensboro will say to the railroad, "Take what yon can get," and the road will lose all the guarantees heretofore offered. The time expu-es to-day when the W.UUO grant was given the railroad to accept: $100,000 will be offered by the cit for the river-front protection, provided the railroad make good and sufficient protection. and tbat it shall be completed on or beiore July 1. 1888, and tbe city shall be released from the guarantee of the second-mortgage bonds to the amount of 100,000, as voted by the people last Hiring.

Mr. Nathaniel Burnstead. of Boston, and Mr. George K. Evans, General Manai er of tbe Air-line railroad, were in the city yesterday in the interest of the Air-line ex tension to this city.

Mr. iiurnsteaa one ot the directors of the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Air-line, and his visit to this city was of one looking to the possibility ol a branch road being built to this city from Kockport, a distance of tea miles. The railroad magnate was shown over the city in a carriage, and expressed himself as being much pleased with the metropolis of toe Green-river section. To Maintain Rates.

Chicago, July 8. Representatives of the lines interested in Council Bluffs, Omaha, Sioux City, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota, transfer traffic, met here to-day to consider their proposed agreement for the maintenance of rates. The day was spent in canvassing the document section by section, and it was finally adopted, to take effect on a date to be fixed by Chairman Fait horn, and to be subject to ninety days notice of withdrawal. It is understood that the agreement makes penalties for the infraction of tariff rates.

Laid Over For a Time. Ktw York, July 8. In tbe United States Circuit Court to-day the suit of the Oregon Transcontinental Company against the Northern Pacific railroad was laid over until tho next motion day.

Travel is remarkably brisk on all the roads. The tide of travel from the North southward during the past few days has been greater thaii ever before at the cor responding season. It is said that Receiver McNulta, of the Wabash, has promised to investigate the al leged manipulation of Wabash ticsets by St. luis scalpers through connivance witn some of the road's ofliciais. Col Bob Gillespie, Southern Traveling Passenger Agent for the It.

and wiui headquarters at New Orleans, is in the city, after an absence of several weeks, during which time he has been seriously ill. He is looking remarkably well, nevertheless. It is contemplated by the L. and N. to run a series of cheap excursions from St.

Louis to the bauluneids of the South during toe coming G. A. K. reunion. The scheme is to ruaxe circuitous tickets, good going South over one route and returning by auomer.

At a joint meeting of tbe passenger agents of the Cnicago terminal Unas on Mouday, the official agreed upon instructions to be given to the Secretary of the National Educational Association witn regard to stamping return portions of excursion tickets, and also uui-lorin action in taking up return coupons of members who may desire extension of time limits, and. further, tbe rule by which the roads snail be governed in granting the same. President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, it is stated, will not lor the present utilize any of the three, hues of railroad he has now surveyed between Philadelphia and New York. This is because it is stated tbat counsel have discovered tbat alter the reorganization of the Reading he can use the Nortu Pennsylvania and Bound Brook hues to New York, under the contract which be made with tne former management ot the Heading liailroad Company.

The Rnco Prejudice In the North. Xew York Sun. At a mass-meeting of the colored people on Tuesday night, in one of the churches up town, to protest against tbe treatment of their race at Asbory Park, tbe Kev. Mr. Monroe declared very truly tbat the Southern people were honeuter than tbe Northerners in their relations with the negroes.

They drew the color line squarely and made no pretense of doing otherwise, while here race hatred was glossed over with sham 'religious sentiment and hypocritical philanthropy. Mr. Bradley, the founder aud controller of Asbury Park, says very frankly that he objects to the colored people simply oa business grounds. "I was compelled, in self-defense, to express my mind," he ex plains; "for if tbe colored folks continued to flock here it would ruin the place, for white people would not come to the park." He aoaa not himself care to draw the color line, but Eublic sentiment insists on drawing it for int. IVhito people refuse to go where they will be brougnt in contact with large numbers of negroes, whether it is a church, a theater, or a watering place.

That is the fact, and enfranchisement and the Civil Kigbts Bill have in no respect altered it. Hotel-keepers would not object to eutertaiuing colored people if it was profitable for them to so, but they know tbat they might almost as well admit a small-pox patient as a negro. Ninety-nine white people out of a hundred, and at the North, too, would be indignant if they were put next hiin at table, and leave the house, never again to set foot in it. So it is at theaters. Tbe colored people must be cooped up by themselves in a distant gallery, and if they were so numerous her as to crowd the public conveyances the hite race would rise up in rebellion against the carrying of tbem.

Io we see negroes occupying conspicuous seats in fashionable churches, and, if they did occupy them, what would be the effect on the prosperity of tbe churches Tbey may come in small numbers, but they must sit in the back pews or in the galleries. Scatter colored children freely among the classes of a Sunday-school, and how long would the white children remain) Whai would be the result if a colored couple, no matter how distinguished in appearance, should venture into the Charity Ball, tor instance! Tbe colored people must live by themselves in houses and parts ot the town inhabited by themselves especially. They can not get into the ordinary tenement bouse inhabited even by very poor families. Tbe sight of a colored man with a white woman on the streets or of a colored woman with a white man is so extraordinary that it provokes great curiosity; and when there are marriages between white and colored the pairs are tabooed by whites, and looked upon with something akin to disgust. Tbat is tbe state of things long years after emancipation and enfranchisement and there does not seem to be any lessening of the race prejudice at the North.

Apparently it is as strong now as it ever was, and the tendency of the negroes to keep by themselves is stronger than formerly, so that the African type becomes more decided. The Asbury Park incident, therefore, only gave expression to a general sentiment, and the protest of Tuesday night's meeting should rather have been against that than against Mr. Bradley. Neither political equality nor religion itself has been sole to conquer this race prejudice, and lapse of time does not seem to even mitigate it. A Lake Foil ofEdocated Fish.

ISpringfield, Cor. Globe-Democrat. Three miles north of this city is a private park belonging to Col. J. M.

Doling, on of the most prosperous and wealthy of Springfield's citizens. In the midst of this park is a beautiful lake, covering about three acres of ground, and having an average depth of five feet. No one is permitted to angle there without the consent of the owner, who for tbe past ten years has been stocking it with game fish from all parts of the country. The result is that be has a lake full of tbe most beautiful fish, and tbey have learned to know and love him. Not a day passes without his going to tbe lake to look after his pets, and it is one of tbe prettiest sights in the world to see him feeding tbe fish.

He has a platform extending into the lake some thirty or forty feet, and only a few inches above the surface of the water. Going out on this platform every morning and evening, he rings a cow-bell very vigorously for a few minutes, when the water; around him becomes perfectly alive with fish. They chum it into foam with their antics and sports, and seem to be litera'ly in a whirlpool of joy and excitement so long as their friend and benefactor is in sight. From a basket be scatters bread and morsels of meat upon the waters, and such capers as those fish then cut it does one's soul good to see. The German carp are the most bold and voracious, and the black bass the most timid.

The larper portion of the number are splendid specimens, ranging from one to six pounds. After the feast they linger around tbe platform so long as Col. Doling remains. If be takes a boat for a spin across the lake tbey show their appreciation and friendship for him by following like so many dogs, proving beyond all question that tbey know him. Tbey will to the ringing of the bell at any time.

Blackmailer and General Euflg AJady Schlagel Out of th Work-Home, His Tons Partner, Hitrtrlns, SUTJ Breaking Bock 'For the City. ASDT SCHLAGEL. The accompanying cut is a good Hkenesj of Andrew Schlagel, ex-city policeman and ex-county policeman, who was released from the work-house yesterday, where he was engaged in breaking rock for tbe city's ttreata. He and his partner in "business," Mr. Thomas Higgins, occupied places in tbs chain-gang next to each other, and cobs.

quently were able to exchange sympathy. Schlagel was lucky enough to have friends, however, who were able to induce Fred Leib, the wealthy pork-packer, to pay Schlagel 's fine of JO and go his security ia tbe sum of 11,000 for his good behavior during the next twelve months. Schlagel and Higgins have been doing business as a private police and detective agency, and have managed to ext ort a good deal ot money from ignorant people living la tbe eastern part of the city. Last week they were arrested on warrants, charged with intimidating and blackmailing a poor Ger man, and when their cases came up before Judge Thompson last Tuesday be salted tbem with a $3U fine and $1,000 for a year. They were unable, to satisfy tbe judgment and went to tbe work-bouse.

Higgins is still ai work on the rock-pile. Both very unsavory reputations. Schlagel was on the police force for three years, but when the present Administration came in, be was discharged for general worthlessness and on general principles. He then became a county policeman, and used bis badge to extort money aud terrorize ignorant people ot his acquaintance. Judge Hoke revoked his commission some months ago.

Schlagel has been arrested a number of times but has always been fortunate enough not to be guilty of a felony which would land bim in the penitentiary. Higgins is, if it were possible, a won character than Schlagel. lis was on tbe police force for six months when Mayor Reed was elected, but was discharged for living is a house of ill-fame. He has been a orisons at the dock a great many times and belongs to a bad family, the members of which are all well-known in police circles.
