It is understood that thir- ty specifications of wrong doing have been formulated against Superintendent Higbee, It was stated at the conference that Mr, Higbee had gone to Michigan and wonld not return until October, In view of this fact it is likely that a war- rant for his arrest will not be issued un- til his return, and therefore the case can- not be brought to trial until the Novem- ber term of the Dauphin county court. The charges against the school proprie- tors who had profited by the abuses were also made the subject of consulta- tion, but it is said that Superintendent Highee was regarded as the one who was chiefly responsible to the public for the wrongs that grew up under his ad- ministration, and that proceedings against the school proprietors would await the disposition of the proceedings against Higbee, snacement was 3 1 #0 and i: (pected to > —— There is not a single good, solid rea- son that any one can give, why any Dem- ocrat should scratch a name on the Democratic ticket from Black on down to the end of the county ticket.
