AVlii'e it is about three weeks before the
public schools will open, still Supt. Otis
Ashmore, the teachers, and those who will
attend, are looking forward to the time
w.th expectancy. All necessary prepara
tiol s n iutive to the opening of the schools
are 1,, nig made, so that there may be no
hindrance of any kind when the time
comes.
_X,)t least among the repairs now being
„ cl upon the schools is to the damage
done by the recent storm. Hardly any of
the schools escaped the effect of the
storm's violence, and at many of them
there are various repairs necessary, which
a,, lx-ing made as as possible. The
damage in the main consists of shattered
gla-a broken shutters, roofs torn off, and
other things it will require less time to
get in shape.
As has been stated in the Morning News,
tin Barnard Street School had the roof
torn off. but all the damage there has been
repaired. The plastering underwent a thor
ough drenching, however, and it may be
it will have to be removed, though this
cal ,not be told until it becomes thoroughly
dried and the effect of the soaking ascer
tain,Hi. At the Henry Street School the tin
roo f was blown off, and the large windows
crushed in, but the damage there has also
beat about repaired. The Anderson Street
School suffered the loss of glass, and the
root was slightly upturned. The Massie,
St. Patrick’s and the Cathedral schools
escaped damage almost entirely. The
Chatham Academy was damaged, but is
about ready now for the reception of the
pupils.
With a view to having the school rooms
in proper condition by the opening, Supt.
Ashmore has instructed janitors to open
up and thoroughly ventilate the buildings
duil>. This is for the purpose of drying
the rooms, as many of them were
drenched, and in the event proper , and
timely attention were not given them, the
effect to the pupils might be harmful.
A matter the Board of Education is anx
ious to bring early before parents is that
all children entering the schools must
be vaccinated, and if this has not been
amended to, it should be looked after at
once and a certificate obtained. Health
Officer be Hardy obtained a ljrge supply
of blank certificates yesterday, which
are to be filled out either by the
health officer or some physician. The vac
cination requirement is not deviated from
in any case, or under any circumstances,as
the health of the pupils and the city de
mands the strictest precaution in this re
gard. Supt. Ashmore says no pupil will
be admitted to the schools without a vac
cination certificate from the family physi
cian, and he advises that this be attend
ed to early, and not put off until the time
for opening, which would produce confus
ion, and probably hinder the child in school
should the vaccination cause trouble.
The schools will open Oct. 3, but Supt.
Ashmore will be at his office in the Chat
ham Academy Sept. 28, 29 and 30 (Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday), for the pur-
I si of issuing admission cards. The pu
pils who were in the schools at the close
in June will not need admission cards,
but all others will have to present vac
cination certificates and get a card. Three
days have been set aside for this work be
cause a large attendance is expected this
s>;ir, many of whom will be newcomers.
The scholastic census last year ran up to
about 9,000 pupils.
It is reported that work on the three
country schools is progressing, and that
the contracts will be completed in due
time. These schools are at Bloomingdale,
Monteith and Thunderbolt. The contracts
require that they be finished by Oct. 1, so
that they will be in readiness for occu
pancy by the time the schools open.
Last year there was some difficulty ex
perienced by the Board of Education in
taking care of the colored pupils, hut
there are additions this year that will
make ample provisions. A colored school
is going up on the Augusta road about
seven miles from the city sufficiently com
modious to take care of a large number.
Then the inside schools have been re
arranged In some instances, so that addi
ti -nul accommodations will be afforded in
'■ m. Supt. Ashmore has no fear about
adequate accommodations for the colored
I" °l’le this year, and states they may feel
assured their children will all be received.

CAPT. DUNCAN EXPLAINS.
He Hold* Himself Guiltless anil
Praise* tlie Soldiers Whose Grave*
Were Desecrated.
Capt. Duncan has written as follows to
the New York World In reference to his
alleged complicity in grave desecration.”
“While in the hands of the military au
thorities I did not deem it proper or mili
tary to make any statement for the press,
but now that I have been delivered to the
civil authorities, I feel free to speak and
deny the many false and malicious state
ments made against my name and charac
ter.
“As to my connection with the desecra
tion of the grave of the Confederate sol
diter ‘Duke,’ a court martial, composed of
a brigadier general, four colonels, four
majors and four other officers, has al
ready adjudged. Two of these officers are
ex-Confederate soldiers.
“Over sixty witnesses testified, and 500
pages of evidence were recorded, and what
was the decision? That I took no part
in these desecrations; that I was guilty of
neglect of duty only because I did not ar
rest privates who were digging in the
grave. My part in the deplorable affair,
as testified to in the court martial by my
self and borne out by other evidence, was
as follows:
“On the morning of Aug. 6, while the
Second Division was camped near Bull
Run, X was out sketching, as is my custom
when I have leisure. While strolling about
the battlefield I came upon a body of men
digging In a little hole, about two feet
across.
“I had already seen dozens of men all
over the field searching for relics and not
a few digging, so I thought nothing of it.
I stayed some ten minutes, watching the
digging and talking to another officer who
was present. Then I learned that a grave
stone was thereabouts, and found It ly
ing out some fifteen feet from where the
men were digging.
“I learned what was on It, but as I had
been informed that all the bodies of sol
diers thereabouts had been removed to
Arlington and Maqassae I did not think
much of the matter. However, I saw a
hospital corps man there, and ordered
him back to camp (he was the only man
there over whom I supposed I had au
thority.) The other men there were not
under my command—not even of my
regiment. As I am a surgeon, I have no
command.
“I started to go away, but stopped to
think the matter over, and then came
back and told the men to quit digging and
go away. They did so, scattering in ev
ery direction. The excavation at this time
(about 9:30 a. m.) was about one and a
half feet deep and two feet across, and
nothing whatever had been removed, ex
cept dirt and small stones.
“After ordering the men away I left
the spot at once, and have never seen it
since. That is the sum and substance of
my guilt. And there is no evidence to
prove that I was there again.
“Now, as to the desecrations. It was
shown on trial that some parties began
digging again, but were immediately stop
ped by a captain of the Third New York
about 10:30 a. m. At that time the exca
vation had reached a depth of two feet,
but nothing had been taken out except
dirt. This captain stopped the digging,
had th© hole refilled and the stone re
placed.
“The evidence further shows that I re
turned to camp before 11 a. m., and was
there the remainder of the day; that some
time in the afternoon, probably between 2
and 3, other parties again opened the
grave, and this time took out the skull
and one or two bones, but that nothing
was taken away.
“Another officer came up, replaced the
bones, refilled the grave, had placed a
guard over it. This ended the deplorable
affair.
“I have one thing more to say. It has
been charged that I was the leader of
this, and that I did it out of feeling to
ward the Confederate dead. 1 want to
deny that accusation. I do not believe
that it was made by ex-Confederates, out
by reporters who wish to ingratiate them
selves with the South. I want to say
that for the Confederate soldiers, living
or dead, I have a profound respect. I
too, am a soldier, and have read with ad
miration of the dashing troopers of J. E.
B. Stuart, the foot cavalry of Stonewall
Jackson and the often hungry, ragged,
dust-browned men in gray that followed
Robert E. Lee to a hundred fields, and
finally, at Appomattox, gave up their
flags, lowered, hut not dishonored. No
man living honors them more than 1., The
memory of their heroism is a heritage to
all.
“Neither do I think that the men who
actually took part in the sad affair did
it out of sectional feeling. I think rather
that it was the outcome of recklessness
In young men, engendered by camp life
in a volunteer army, added to a foolish
desire for ‘relics.’
“I am far from home and among strang
ers. For the sake of my family, to whom
this is a torture, I ask fair treatment until
it has been proved that I have done wrong.
“Louis C. Duncan,
“Captain and Assistant Surgeon, 'Twenty
second Kansas Infantry, United States
Volunteers.”
—The steamer rolled and pitched In the
wavers.
“Dealt boy,” groaned Cholly, at the end
of his first hour on shipboard, "promise
me you will send my remains to my peo
ple!”
A second hour passed.
“Deah boy,” feebly moaned Cholly, “you
needn’t send my remains home. There
won’t he any.”—Hamilton Times.

Modern
From the New York Press.
Beds have retrograded attics the days cf
Adam and Eve. The modern sleeping mat
tress is a relio of the commonest barbar
ism. It is unqeustlonably further In the
rear of civilization than any other com
fort of home. There are only three ways
of sleeping—on the rignt side, on the left
side and on the back. It is not often
that you can find a man who sleeps on his
front. Now, what of a blitering ntght?
Man is hot-blooded. He lies on his right
bide on the right side of the bed until be
scorches the sheets, and then he flops mad
ly on his back and lies in the middle of the
bed, then Ik* flop* madly again to his left
side on the left side of the bed, leaving
parts of himself—arms and legs and foot
hanging over in the circumambient air.
