.The convention of school directors to
elect a couutv Superintendent or l'ub
lie Schools attracted many people to
Munch Chunk on Tuesduv afternoon.
There were fourcandldatos.McCabe, of
Nesquehouing; Bolsel, of Lausford;
Ilttllict, of Normal Square; Porter, of
Kidder, rue men uau maue a tuurougu
canvass all over tho county and the Im
pression prevailed that if any particu
lar one of the candidates wero in tho
lead it was Balllet, and there is no
nuestlon but had the election occurred
ten days or two weeks ago that Balllet
would have been electod on tho second
or third ballot. When the directors
commenced gathering those ou the
outer edge could at once see a sys
tematic attack ou the Balllet forces by
the leaders of the uelsel supporters.
t hunch there wero many who predicted
that the final ballot would find McCabe
nnd Porter In the heat they were dis
appointed, and the last ballot found
Beisel and Balllet together. The upper
end supported Belsei almost all of the
Mccaoe men railing to mm. ine
Porter men divided, but it left the
lower end candidate short on points.
What caused Balllet to lose strength
on the home stretch is put to several
causes, one a story that be had never
taught In the public school in the
county, another that he bad been asked
to resign irom ursinus uoiiege, ootn
false, yet It caught- tue upper end di
rectors and thev voted Beisel.
County Superintendent Snyder called
the convention to order, aud Michael
Cussldv and Alfred Breithautit were
appointed secretaries pro tern. For
chalrmau Dr. W. L Kutz, of Weissport,
und ur. u. w. aioyer, or uast jviaucn
hunk, wero nominated, tne former
winning 71 to 57. Dr. Kutz took the
chair aud spoke pleasantly of the honor
lie felt In being culled to preside over
so Intelligent a body of men, nnd re
ferred ably to the importance of elect
lug some one fit in every way for the
position. A superintendent of schools
should be a man with high and noble
motives, and he should do his duty
fearlessly always working tor tue eleva
tion of the schools ana tne nignest in
terests of the profession.
Hugh flmrp.of Lansford, moved that
temporary secretaries ue continued
nnd it wns nirreed to. John Zern. o
Franklin, was made nil additional
secretary.
Of the ill directors in the county nil
respouded to their name on roll call
but 9.
The question of salary being the
first consideration F. Wiutermut., of
East Mauch Chunk, moved that the
salary ue iuuu per annum as Hereto
lore, i ne motion was seeaudeu.
An amendment to strike out 31500
and Insert 81S00 was made by Director
Slocum, of Mud Run. He thought if
the salary was raised the superinten
dent would be better able to visit the
country schools ofteuer. Tho amend
ment was defeated and the original
motion carried.
Director Slocum here raised tb
point of order t hut Chalrmau Kutz had
only been elected a temporary otllcer
and that all the business transacted
was void. There was some skirmish
ing over this, wheu Thos. Boyd, of
dluueu vuuu.tujuicii lutt. leuiim.uij

ard says this about ubout the Jeunes-
ville nine. "It Is a very hard mutter to
give the names of those who are to
comprise the team, as so many changes
have already taken place, and present
indications are not at all auspicious,
which renders it impossible to speak
with any degree of accuracy. Bradv.

Hayes, who. bv the wav. rendered him
self highly (jbnoxlous by his conduct a
few days ago, will, it is now likely, also
ungrate, iuus tue team will lose a
catcher and pitcher, but this, after all,
is not alarming, as there will bo Fair
hurst and Sohmeur to catch, and
Schock to take charge of the box, which
in the event of but one or two games a
week being played, would be quite suf
ficient. Of course a team not having
at least two reputable pitchers, is cer
tainly "bum." but the team can easily
afford to wait without any Injury to
their reputation, for at least a month.
after which time the supply of pitchers
will be such as to enable the manage
