Mr. Evans moved that A. K. Warfel be
appointed collector of unpaid taxes for the
ensuing year. The motion was agreed te
and the official bend of Mr. Warfel, with
Jehn B. Kreidcr as surety, iu the sum of
8,500, was presented aud approved.
The proposed amendments te the rules
of the beard offered by Mr. Baker at the
last meeting were read aud laid ever for
tiual action at the next stated meeting.
Picsident Warfel called Jehn 1. Hart
man te the chair, aud, taking the lloer,
made a statement regarding the unusually
heavy bills presented te the beard during
the past year for books for alleged "indi
gent" pupils. He had investigated the
matter with some euro and found that the
beard during the last year had paid for
books for such pupils the sum of 000.07
mere than twice as much as had been paid
during the preceding year, or any previous
year. This heavy amount had suggested
a suspicion that something was wrong and
he had investigated the matter. He had
found that some of the directors had been
in the habit of signing every order for
books recommended by the teachers ; and
that teachers had recommended the pur
chase of books without proper inquiry into
the indigence of the applicant, supposing
that the directors would make the neces
sary inquiry. One of the teachers (Miss
Johnsten) refused te make application for
books for a pupil, because she knew the
parents were abundantly able te purchase
the books, whereupon a member of
the beard of directors peremptorily
ordered the teacher te make the
'application for the books. The
president also said that Miss Johnsten
had informed him that books of the same
kind at the expense of the beard had
been asked for and furnished te the same
pupil twice during a single session. The
president further stated that is was in his
knowledge that ether teachers who had
objected te make application for books for
"alleged" indigent parents have been
evcrrulcr by directors, and the books pur
chased for pupils whose parents were in
no sense indigent. Very few of the teach
ers keep a record of the books furnished
pupils at the expense of the school beard.
Miss Hubcr is au honorable excep
tion in this respect as she keeps a complete
record, aud there may be a few ether
teachers who arc also entitled te credit,
but net many. The president concluded
his remarks by referring te the very large
number of second hand school books te be
had at the stores, and hinted that perhaps
a geed many of them belonged te the
beard. He offered the following resolu
tions, though' he understood that ether
members of the beard had ether resolu
tions te offer which would probably mere
fully cover the case.
Following were Mr. Waifel's resolu
tions :
Resolved, That the superintcudiug com
mittee be directed te prepare . rules under
which text books may be leaned te in
digent pupils in the public schools.
That all such books should be consid
ered the property of the beard, the teachers
should sec that proper care is taken of
them, and when they are no longer needed
for the purpose for -which they were given,
they should be returned te the teacher te
be again used by ether pupils under simi
' lar circumstances.
The teacher should keep a record of all
such books aud sec that they are all re
turned, aud the city superintendent should
be directed te have the rules embodying
the above rigidly enforced.
3Ir. Cochran said that when the abuse
referred te by the president had reached
his cars he had drawn up the 1'ollewin g
resolutions' which he offered for adoptieu,
though they did net perhaps cover the
ground se well as these elfercd by the
president.
Mr. Cochran then offered the following
resolutions as a substitute :
Jieselced, That it shall be the the duty
of the principals of the different schools
te keep au accurate record of the pupils of
their respective schools, whose books aud
school apparatus arc furnished by the
beard, together with the list of books and
apparatus se furnished te each pupil, and
before promotion te ether schools te col
lect the same from these scholars and turn
them ever te the city superintendent for
the use of the beard.
Jleselcul, That no order for books te any
scholar shall be issued by any member of
the beard unless the parents of the party
applying state in writing that he is net
able te purchase them.
Jieselced, That it shall be the duty of
the city superintendent te see that this
order is enforced,
Jieselced, That the secretary of the
beard furnish a certified copy of these
resolutions te the principal of each school
and te the city superintendent.
Dr. Levergood moved the adoption of
Mr. Cochran's resolutions, adding that he
knew many parents' abundantly able te
buy books for their children, shirked that
duty, and had the beard buy books for
them ; while many ether parents, poorer
but mere sensitive, pui chased books for
their children when they were scandy able
te de se.
Mr. Slaymuker suggested that a proper
thing te de iu such cases would be te re
quire parents or guardians te certify that
they were unable te buy books for their
children before they applied te the beaid
te buy them. He offered this ::- au
amendment te Mr. Cochran's resolutions
Mr. Spurrier offered the following reso
lutions :
Whereas, The amount et money ex
peuded by this beard during the past year
for books, school supplies, etc., for chil
dren attending the various schools has
greatly increased and has become a source
of very considerable outlay of the funds
of our taxpayers ; therefore,
Jieselced, That hereafter all applications
for books, school apparatus or supplies by
peer and indigent children, blanks shall
be furnished te the parents, guardiaus or
ether legal representatives of said children,
aud it shall be their duty te sign and cer
tify en said blanks that they are net able
te purchase the required book's : that the
eiders upon which all supplies arc fur
nished shall accompany all bills presented
te this beard for payment; that all books
shall be stamped en the 20th page : "The
prejicrty of the Lancaster city school
beaid," and allothcrsupplieserappanitus
shall be stamped in a similar manner ; that
all teachers shall keep au accurate record
of the books, slates and ether supplies
furnished te each scholar, together with
the name of said scholar, and that said
books, etc., shall be returned te the
teachers upon the scholar leaving the
school, either by transfer or otherwise, and
by the teacher te the city superintendent
for the use of new scholars who may net
be able te purchase the required books or
ether supplies, and it shall he the duty of
the city supciiutendent te enforce these
resolutions.
Dr. Levergood moved that all the reso
lutions elfercd be referred te the superin
tending committee with power te act ;
and that no books be issued te pupils at
the expense of the beard until the com
mittee se direct.
Mr. Johnsten favored the adoptieu of
Alderman Spurrier's resolutions, but sug
gested that they would be mere effective
if they contained a clause bidding teach
ers personally responsible for all books is
sued te pupils en their application the
teacher te bu exonerated euly when any
reasonable excuse could be given for the
less and destruction of the books issued
en their application.
Dr. Levergood s motion was then put
and carried.
Mr. Slaymaker called attention te the
fact that many children of immature age
were being admitted te the public schools.
Mr. Baker corroborated the statement
aud suggested that where there was a
doubt of the pupil being six years ei age,
the parents or guardians should be re
quired te certify te the fact.
After" some further discussion it was
conceded unanimously that the city super
intendent or any member of the visiting
committee of the division could remove
from the schools any pupil less than six
years of age.
Mr. Itheads moved that the beard pro
ceed te elect teachers of the night schools
and that the schools be at once opened.
A vote being taken the resolution was
rejected- -11 yeas, 11 nays.
Adjourned.
Corener's Inquest.
Last evening Corener Mishler held an
inquest en the body of a German, appar
ently about 40 years of age, who died at
the county hospital yesterday morning.
The evidence elfercd at the inquest was te
the effect, that the mau had been found
lying helpless ou the read in West Cocal Cecal
ico township, en Wednesday afternoon
last ; that he was brought te the hospital
by a farmer residing in the vicinity of
where he was found ; that he received
medical attendance, but was se far geuc
that he could give no account of
himself, and that he died yesterday
morning as above stated. He was a man
below the medium size, aud a full head of
brown iiair and were a full brown mous
tache and chin beard. He was comfort
ably dressed aud did net have the appear
ance of being a tramp. He had no money
en his person, but from papers found iu
his possession his name is believed te be
Frederick Brown, aud it is thought he
came te this country about six years age.
There were no papers about him that gave
any clew te his having friends iu this
country. His remains were interred in
the county cemetery.

for breakfast the juice of a piece of beef

The Londen "Lancet ' e-.i the Cuhe.
Londen, Sept. 2. The Lancet says :
" We de net think the healing of Presi
dent Garfield's wound will be promoted
by probing te sce hew far granulation has
proceeded. The most favorable signs arc
the fall of temperature te normal and fre
quency of the pulse. This is a thoroughly
safe criterion of iucreascd strength, and
the subsidence of bleed-poisoning, tegcthur
with improved power of digestion, ability
te sleep soundly, mental cheerfulness and
clearness, affords solid grounds for
hope of recovery. The case is a strikiug
illustration of the power of a geed con
stitution te held up against illness that
would certainly have killed a feebler pur pur
sen, but another failure in the president's
digestive powers or symptoms of blood bleed
poisoning might at any time turn the bal bal
ance against him, and what we have
hitherto insisted upon se eltcu we arc
bound te repeat, that President Garfield
will net be uit of danger until the wound
is healed.'

were given that necessary assistance
in that particular would be
given. Messrs. Caldwell and Lewis,
receivers of company, held a mcetiug this
afternoon at which business which
has accumulated during the month
since last sitting was acted upon. The
question of leasing Pert Richmond ship
yard te a company of capitalists was dis
cussed but no final action taken.
Bush Fires Interfering With Navigation.
Kingsten, Ont.. Sept. 2. Navigation
has been considerably interfered with by
smoke from bush fires, the density of
which led te the detention yesterday of
the steamers Magnet and Spartia, of the
Royal mail line both bound down the

of Verena. Six families have been left
destitute.

THE PRESIDENTIAL PATIENT.
Last Night One et Anxiety Fearlul of tlin
Coining Saturday.
The situation last uii;ht remain -d
unchanged. Net se the public u Heavi
ness, however, which is nuquestieuably
en the increase. As the un
lucky Saturday approaches the pulse of
the patient quickens, the symptoms are
less satisfactory aud the great loyal heart
of the nation throbs with a mero anxious
beat in dread anticipation. Despite the
circumlocution of the doctors it is evident
te these who have seen and talked with
them and steed face te face with the
White Heuse people that the condition
of thiugs is net as satisfactory as
Wednesday. There have been ue preten
siens en the part of his physiciaus that
the president has actually been making
any progress toward the restoration of
strength that is te say. they have net
officially declared that any progress has
been made toward recovery siuce the re
cent rally. All the rosy pictures have been
made up from personal interviews, aud in
these conversations they have endeavored
te put the best side out. Whciiyeu go
back te the bulletins you will find the
last three days can be condensed in the
siuglc significant phrase : " He has held
his own." Helding his own is but the
maintenance of the statu quo of Monday.
They have based a geed deal of hope en
the ability te held his own for a few days
until nature had a chance te give him
a fresh grip en life by building up his
system aud the throwing off of poisonous
secretions. Four days are gene, and the
doctors new confess that there lias been
no appreciable cain of strength. The
waste from all sources has been fully equal
te the supply. This is the melancholy
fact. All the '" best days' and faverable
conditions reported from time te time re
fer euly te the restfulucss of the patient
and his freedem from pain or fever. The
public is apt te be misled by such reports.
It must face the fact that, save in a modi
fication et the si.e and character of the
glandular swelling and the continued suc
cessful use of the stomach, the president
is new just where he was last Sunday
night.
