STATE SUPERINTENDENTS
THEIR RECENT MEETING AT
GREENSBORO.
superintendent P. P. Claxton
Gives a Report of Ine Work
Done Dr. Winston's Handsome
Christmas Gift.
The sixth annual meeting of the super
intendents of city schools of North Caro
lina was held at Greensboro on Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. Superin
tendent F. P. Claxton, who has re
turned, says it was the largest and most
interesting meeting oi this body yet
held.
Those present were Superintendents
Moses of Raleigh, Noble of Wilmington,
Joyner of Goldsboro, Howell of Tarboro,
Kennedy of Durham, Graham of Char
lotte, Alderman of Reidsville, Blair of
Winston, Grimiity of Greensboro, Clax
ton of Asheville and Hughes of Green
ville, S. C; Principals Toms of Durham
and Blair of Winston; Presidents Win
ston of Chapel Hill and Shearer of David
son college; President Mclver and Prof.
Alderman of the Normal college.
Superintendent Clnxton gives The
Citizen the following resume of the work
of the meeting:
Brief reports from the superintendents
snowea gratnying growth in the public
schools of the cities during the past year.
Everywhere there has been a marked
increase in interest, attendance and
efficiency.
Mr. Blair discussed the subject of art
in the school room; Mr. Harrell, school
libraries; Mr. Kennedy, moral education
in the public schools; Mr. Grimsley, the
recitation; Mr. Hughes, school reports;
Mr. Alderman spoke on the experiences
of the superintendent; Mr. Joyner, on
"Education a Growth;" Mr. Moses read
a paper on "The Study of Philosophy in
the Schools." Mr. Claxton spoke of the
need of more systematic uniformitr in
courses of study in the city schools, and
asked that a committee be appointed to
consider the matter and report to the
next meeting. Messrs. Claxton, Moses
and Kennedy were appointed on this
committee. It will also confer with a
like committee appointed by the college
.nuuuuuu iu rcgaru to certain amuse
ments necessary to make the connection
closer between the oublic schools and the
colleges.
President Shearer exolamed at some
length a plan for the unification oi the
educational forces of the State. His plan
is to make of the University at Chapel
Hill a real university, with onlv oost-
graduateand professional departments,
doing away altogether with the under
graduate or collegiate department. His
plan did not meet with the approval ol
the superintendents, who wished to have
the state appropriate sufficient money
to enable the University to increase its
work, and raise as rapidly as possible
the standard of scholarship, but do not
agree that it would be wise for the State
to abandon to denominational of private
enterprise tne collegiate work.
ur. Winston made each of the city
schools a Christmas present of an an
nual scholarship in the University. This
gives each superintendent the privilege
to appoint eacn year irom among the
pupils in the schools of his city one boy
who shall have free tuition for the full
length of time which be remains at the
University. This scholarship is worth
$60 a year, or $240 to the boy taking
the full four years' course, and will be a
valuable prize tor those fortunate enough
to secure it.
Mr. Mclver. by invitation spoke of the
work at the Normal college and renorted
gratifying success.
1 he superintendents by a unanimous
vote gave thtir approval to efforts now
being made in behalf of a reformatory
school for the State.
The officers for the ensuing year are:
. P. Claxton, president: I. Y. Toyner.
vice-president, and Logan Howell, sec
retary. The next meetincr will be held
in Wilmington.

Stikcleatber & Foster's stable on Col

THE UMBR1A ALL RIGHT
SHE ARRIVED EARLY
THIS
MORNING.
taer snarl la Broken and She
Came In Slowly, Bat Under Her
Own steam-All Passengers
Well.
New York, Dec. 31. The long-over
due Umbria of the Cunard line arrived
off the bar at 3:30 a. m.. todav. All
were reported well on board. As the
last report of her was on Monday, when
she was repairing her shaft off the New-
rounaiana banks, and as four dava had
gone by without further news from her.
there was considerable anxiety as to the
saiety oi ner large list of passengers.
A message from the lookout at Fire
island, announced that she had been
sighted a few minutes after midnight and
that she was proceeding slowly under
her own steam toward this port. She
arrived off the bar in company with the
oncanmc, OI tne WUIte Star line, nnrl on
oil tank steamer. Both her eacorta left
at the outer lightship, and went up the
bay at a rapid pace compared to that
of the Umbria, She was steaming nine
miles an hour. The slow rate was main
tained probably as a precaution against
futher damage to the shaft.
Captain McKay had brouefat his fine
steamship and all on board safely
through the terrific gales, and when bfs
vessel entered the harbor he was cnn.
gratulated and thanked by many pas
sengers who had waited up all night to
see the welcome lights of New York
again. It is 12 days and a half since the
steamer left Queenstown, and the trip is
the longest on record for the crack ocean
racer.
The Umbria oroceeded alnnrlv tin th
bay, burning her signals at Sandy Hook
and blowing her whistle in response to
the glad salutes ol the tugs in the Lower
oay.
THE PANAMA SCANDAL.
Tbe Orleanlsis Still Have Hopea
or Knininic tbe Republic.
London Dec. 30. The Orleanists have
by no means abandoned hope of regain
ing the throne of France through a
revulsion iu republican sentiment caused
by the revelations in the Panama affair.
Some project, it Is believed, is contem
plated by them that is intended to lead
to the overtnrnintr of the Kenuhlie nnH
the establishment of a monarchy. The
Count of Paris has telegraphed
to his son, the Duke of Orleans, who is
now travelling in China, to hasten his re
turn in order that he may take part in
tbe deliberations of the Orleans party.
In English circles it is believed that
there is no chance for the machinations
of tbe French Royalists and Imperialists
proving successful. It is thought that
the French government by pursuing
those implicated in the Panama scandal
to punishment, will establish tbe Repub
lic on sounder foundations than before
and will render such an evil as the Pan
ama affair hereafter impossible.
THEV ESCAPED.
Vailed Slates Marshals Get Away
From Revolutionists.
Larbdo, Tex., Dec. 31. A telegram
has been received at military headquar
ters in this city stating that Guerrero
and Benatides. the United States mar.

una, cscapca, ana mat uuerrero had ar

one put out for himself.
Three companies of United States cav
alry bave left Laredo for the lower
country, and Company G 23rd infantry,
will soon leave for New Laredo, some
twenty miles from Garriso.
LEASE FOR CHARITY.
But tbe Kansas Talker will Run
For tbe Senate Anyway.
Topeka, Kans., Dec. 31. Governor
elect Llewelling announces that be has
decided to offer Mrs. Lease a position on
the State Board of Charities. It will be
one of tbe first appointments he will
make. It is reported here that Mrs.

accept the position, bat it is to be well
understood beforehand that, in accept
ing this position, she does not in any
way relinquish her claim to the senator
ship. Doing, Not Saying.
Albany, Dec. 28. Senator Hill was in
bis rooms on the third floor of the Ken
more tonight, busy opening letters,
when a reporter called to ask for an in
terview on Mr. Cleveland's expressions
regarding Edward Murphy, Jr. Senator
Hill paused only long enough to glance
over tbe contents of the letter he had

"Yon may say I have nothing to say
on tbe Senatorial question, or 'the inter-view.'"-New

FRESH CABINET GOSSIP
CARLISLE CERTAINLY HAS A
PORTFOLIO.
Several Names 'Mentioned" for
This and That Position, But
Very Lltlle That la at All cer
tainDepartments.
Washington, Dec. 31. All the execu
tive departments closed today at noon.
They will not open again for business
nntilTuesday morning, January 3, 1893
Most of the politicians in Washington,
interested in the gossip relating to Cleve
land's cabinet choosing, have settled
down into the belief that Senator Carlisle
is to be Secretary of the Treasury in the
next administration. They are perhaps
most inclined to this from the fact that
the choice of Carlisle would prove satis
factory to every one.
Among the guesses for the other de
partments are that of ex-Minister
Phelps of Vermont for Secretary of
Mate. He divides with Don M. Dickin
son in the Washington mind the best
chance tor that portfolio.
representative Herbert, oi Alabama.
and ex-Secretary Lamont, are both
talked of for the Navv Deoartment.
Gen. Pat. Collins, of Boston, is talked of
lor secretary oi War. for the Deoartment
of Justice the names most generally
mentioned, are those of Representative
Culbertsoa, of Texas. Martin F. Morrill.
of this city, Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia and Randolph Tucker, of
viiKiuio. Acumcuiauve niuunc. oi
oeorgia, who has served for many
years on the committee on postoffice
and postroads in. the House ol
Representatives is talked of for
the head of the postoffice de
partment, and may get the place
if Herbert, from an adjoining State, does
not get the Navy Department. He might
be appointed anyhow, though it is
tnougnt to be more probable that,
in the event of the selection of
Herbert, a western man like ex-
Governor Campbell of Ohio, who,
however, says positively that he is not
a Cabinet possibility, may be appointed
for the Interior Department. Morrison
of Illinois, Gray of Indiana, and other
men from Western and far Western
States are talked of. The Agricultural
Deoartment. it is said, will no to Hatch
of Missouri, or to some Democrat from
Northwestern States.
STRANGE EPIDEMIC.
But Cause Enough, and More,
is Found For It.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 31. Four
teen deaths occurred recently at the pen
itentiary. The fourteenth died yester
day in intense agony. The coroner's
jury found that he died from "some epi
demic disease unknown to the iurv."
Coroner Bond filed a report with the
uoara oi renitentiary commissioners in
which he stated that the sanitary condi
tion of the place was horrible in the ex
treme and calculated to breed an epi
demic in its worst form. Filtb in enor
mous quantities was piled up in different
quarters of the enclosure.
Commissioners consisting of the Secre
tary of State, the Attorney General and
Private Secretary Tiles, representing
Gov. Eagle, immediately made an ex
amination. That a contagious disease
in its worst form has taken hold of the
inmates cow admits of no doubt. The
poison theory is faBt fading away. The
man who died yesterday bad not been
outside of the walls for many days. He
was in perfect health yesterday at din
ner, and was well until within an hour
of his death.
Arkansas Medical Institute students
are scared and refuse to handle the dead
bodies sent to the Institute from the
penitentiary.
Public Meeting.
Editor The Citizen: I am glad to
notice that onr representatives have re
quested that when any change in our
city laws are asked for that a public
meeting of ourritizensshould be had and
the matter fully discussed before the
changes are asked to be considered by
the Legislature. This is well; and now
I beg to suggest that a meeting be called
at once to consider the propriety of
making some important changes and
the first is that we have an annual elec
tion for all city officials. There will be
no difficulty in re-electing any good man
if be has shown himself worthy and well
qualified, and at tbe same time enable us
to get rid oi any wbo have shown that
they are unfit for tbe places to which
they have been elected. The next change
is. the Board should not be allowed to
fix their own salary. It should be fixed
by the Legislature and should not exceed
$100 per year. The next is, we do not
need any recorder. Tbe mayor should
be required to perform his duty and
thereby save $900 to tbe tax payers.
A. A.

New York, Dec. 31.-Mr. Cleveland
was seen at bis house yesterday. "While
opposed to Mr. Murphy," he said, "I am
not in favor of any one. It is too earlv
