M. Mr. Sloman was born in London, England in October, 1827, and Mrs. Sloman was also born there, in August, ISoO. Both are now in good health.

Mr. Sloman arrived in Rochester in March, 1849. He occupied a store in the Burns block, at Buffalo and State streets, as a retail clothier. After five years he went back to London to marry Miss Adelaide Abrains. He was one of the earlier manufacturers of clothing in Rochester; he began in 18G4 and retired in 1879.

Mr. Sloman was successful in his business, and he won while in it the respect of his associates. He went to Chicago that he might be with his children, Mr. mand for bouses suitable for residence, all combine to make the business of building uncommonly active. Work on the new building for the Wost High School, which will be iu most essentials a replica of the East High School building, will be actively resumed on Monday morning.

While the plans for this building, as well as those for many others, were destroyed in the Granite building fire, it was a fortunate circumstance that duplicate plans for the mason work and brw'k work were in the hands of Ellsworth Grant, contractors for that porticn of the work. Architect J. Foster "Warner has a force engaged in replacing the plans for the carpenter work and the beating and ventilating system. J. Herbert Grant, of the firm of Ellsworth fc Grant, saii yesterday that if the plans were so far advanced that the contract for the carpenter work could be let within three or four weeks, the completion of the building within the specified time would be probable.

Certain parts of the carpenter work, such as window sashes, will be required at once, and it is not improbable that they will be ordered separately by the Hoard of Education, in advance of the completion of the restored plans.

A rare treat, a combination of the very choicest jljmjtq The free-for-all became a riot and the air was tilled with the cries of those who thought Last evening a Democrat and Chronicle reporter called ou Superintendent of Public Schools Clarence r. Cr.rroM, aud after Ing attention to Senator P.rncki tt's bill its presumed Intent, asked this question: "You understand that morality Is taught In the nubile schools of this city?" "The public schools, from the very beginning, have to do with the guidance of cou-duet, which Is morals," said Superintendent Carroll. "A child entering the kindergarten does the proper thing because he others do It, and became" his teacher wishes him to. While this Is at first largely imitative, he soon comes to urefVr to do the proper thing, as a habit.

While there are dWp. thms, while the child Is growing up throng!) the schools, he frowns upon anything does not conform to the teaching of the hom and the school where he is. "We expect our children will absorb tit character of the home and the atm-vphprt of the School. There are many arltrrcteg 0 the school, beginning with the gHineu, g0in about the building to aud fro, at the blackboard and in the performance of the various other duties, such as manual rrginiEj. These are the activities which run pri with the Intellectual side.

There Is a move-meut side, and iu all that the child is riid-ing his conduct In accordance wirh the wishes of his teacher and In obndlcnce to her. That is due partly to a natural desir to please and partly to habit. "Then the question comes, How soon and how much docs the child have the Initiative to do for The habit of doing these things iu the school gives the chill the ambition to do them outside of the school. The school, I repeat. Is the source of that of ambition which results In the desire to do and to be.

Another ambition the chlid gvs Is to do as well as anybody else. He gulim a standard of attainment aud a standard ol right and wrong. lie gets a keen sense ot this. "Everything depends upon the way la which a teacher puts these standards of action and thought before children. They get their high sentiments of taste from thesa Ideals, as set up by one whom they are accustomed to obey.

We have grett faith' la onr teacher, and much is expected of the teacher, not only In knowledge and training but the state demands the highest moral standards." "What about the maxims of morality was next asked. "A child, in addition to habit and lore of right and obedience, should be acquainted with the maxims of morality. He should know the Ten Commandments. He shonii be acquainted with the beautiful thlogi ia poetry, the sayings of wise men, and ihosVi commit them to memory. These maxima are very helpful in moral training, but In themselves they would not sulhee.

Fernandio Romanio, a laborer, of No. .7 Hartford street, was instantly killed yesterday by the Empire State Express, east-bound, at 2:30 P. about a mile east of Brighton. Romania was 42 years of age.

A week ago yesterday Eugene Miller, son of Assistant Yardmaster Miller, of Syracuse, was killed near Fairport by the express. In both instances the victims were in tha employ of the New York Central, and neither had worked more than two days iu the service. Romanio, who wis taking a fellow-laborer's place, was working with the section gang under Foreman John Dailey. The men were draining the tracks at the "rock cut," about a mile east of Brighton. Romanio was working on track No.

Persons who have not visited the Empire Theater building within the past few days can scarcely form an adequate idea of the rapid progress that has been made in transforming that temple of vaudeville, and the Jordon block adjoining it on the east into a department store. The work, which was only fairly begun less than two weeks ago, is so far advanced, that it is announced that the retail department of the Sibley, Lindsay Curr Company will open there on Wednesday. The buildings, in both cases, have been entirely re-madeled as to their interiors, and workmen were yesterday engaged in placing counters and cases in position.

Iu addition, a new building, of two stories, has been constructed to the north of the Empire-Theater tn Clinton avenue north. It forms a portion of the space to be utilized for retail purposes, and was yesterday practically ready for occupancy. Two large stairways connect the tirst and second floors, and both of these floors open to the Jordon building. The executive otiices of the Sibley, Lindsay Curr Company have been removed to the fourth floor of the Jordon building, where they will remain for the present, or until they are obliged to give way for the new building which is to occupy the block from Clinton avenue north to Xoith street. In any estimate of building operations, the restoration of buildings on the site of the great dry goods district fire should not be left out.

Although little has as yet been done beyond razing some of the high walls, it is known that several large buildings will be at least begun on that site this spring.

The nurserymen of Western New Y'ork met last night at the Powers Hotel and, after dining together, organized the National Association of Retail Nurserymen. The plan for this organization was decided upon at a meeting held March 10th. It is the first national retail association of nurserymen to be organized in the country. While it has been organized here, it will, of course, admit to its membership retail nurserymen throughout the United States. A constitution was adopted last night and and an Kxecutive Committee were elected.

The otlicers are: President, William Pitkin, of Rochester; vice-president, O. C. Chase, of Geneva; secretary-treasurer, John B. Kiley, of Rochester. The Executive Committee members are C.

II. Stuart, of Newark; E. S. Osborne, of Rochester, aud Walter W. Wyman, of Rochester.

The objects of the association are to promote cordial business relations among its members, to advance their interests and prosperity, and to deal with any important matter that nniy arise in connection with the nursery business. It is expected that the association will have a beneficial influence on the nursery trade. Western New Y'ork has long been recognized as the best producing part of the United States for fruits and ornamental plants.

Although his boots and stockings were not damaged, they were off. The rubbers were off of the felt boots. Coroner Kleindienst reached the scene at about 4 o'clock. He ordered the body removed to an undertaker's place in this city. Romanio leaves a wife and family in Italy.

Many rumors are still current regarding the ultimate destiny of the Seven Corners triangle, of ancient memory. The idea still prevails in some quarters that it is the intention to add to the activity of the building industry by erecting a tall "flat-iron" building on the site. It was said yesterday, however, by the McGreal lirothers, purchasers of the eastern portion of the block, that no decision had as yet been reached as to the disposition of the property.

It was also said, at the Garfield real estate offices, that there was no immediate prospect of radical changes in the triangle property. In addition to these more important business building operations, scores upon scores of dwellings are being erected in all parts of the city. This particularly is true of East Rochester, where a large number of handsome new dwellings will be made ready for occupancy on April 1st. Most of them have already been rented. So great is the demand for houses of a ing the city and devoted to nursery purposes are grown trees and plants that are distributed annual' to all parts of North America.

The agency business of the L'nited States originated here, and more than fifty years ago was sent out the first. "tree man" to solicit orders for Rochester stock.

Two eastbound engines hauling long strings of freight cars brushed together at the Scio Htreet of the New York Cen-ttal Railroad at Tj o'clock yesterday afternoon and were derailed, tying freight tratlic into a hard knot.
