Mr.Ilyrnr,cbatrman of the book committee,
submitted the following report.
7lhe J'rrMltlent timt Member! of the Umemtcr
hehoet Beard
Uk.NTLi.MhN : A resolution of the beard
adopted at lla last meetlug Instructed the
oemmlttoe ou text books and course of In
struction te report at this meeting en the ad
visability of supplying te the children In our
schools free at cost tbe books which are new
provided by their patents or guardians.
Your committee tlnd that the plan of fur
nishing free books, although a new Idea In
this community, is net an experiment It has
been In operatleu In Ibe city of New Yerk ler
50 years, and lu Newark, N. J., for forty
years. The system bat grown old In uiaay
of tl.e cltitm ami towns of New Kiigland. It
la still rapidly extendiug throughout the
Ksstern states, and Is new very lamlllsrin
tbe atatra or tbe West In our state the
city of Philadelphia has been furnishing
free beska ler many years, and tbe city of
Chester has been lolloping its example for
ten years.
Hlnee tbe passage of tbe act of tbe IMnn
sylvanlaleg alature, alllruied Juue'JI, lSvi,
authorizing school directors te purchaie text
boeka ler free use in tbe public schools, a
a large msjerlty of tbe districts In llucks,
Montgomery, Cheater and Delaware coun
ties have availed tbemselvea of Its authority
and are new furnishing books and station
ery, free of all cost, te tbe children In their
achuela. O.her count leu lu the state have
adopted the system, but net se largely as tbe
counties named.
In the investigation of the subject of free
books, your committee haa examined a geed
deal of printed matter from dlflerent sources,
and besldes,entered Intocerrespondenoe with
the school ollleers et various districts in
Pennsylvania, and It may beaald without
reservation whatever that the reports from
uvety source are strongly In favor of the sys
tem. Your committee's correspondent at NorrU NerrU NorrU
tewn says : Yeu msy rest aure thst II you
adept the system of free books your
teachers will be able te de bstter work and
that it will meet with tbe approbation et
your cltltena Tbe average cost ou number
et pupils enrolled is about 70 cents te each
pupIL"
Tne report from West Chester is much
stronger. Itsaya: "We consider it great
advantage te community in every way.
The Increased taxation when the system ia
fully established la inappreciable, while tbe
burden of expense which iathua lifted from
these unable te bear It causes general relief
and rejoicing. Children are net se early
withdrawn, Intelligence la mere widely dli
fused and kind el aatlsneU feeling pre.
alia."
Knewing tbe business ability and high
character or tbe president of tbe beard of
publle education la Philadelphia, your com.
tulttee were desirous of having his opinion
en the subject uuder consideration. Tbe
following extraeta are taken lrem a letter
dated March 10, 1837 : ' While the city of
Philadelphia rinds a greater demand upon Ha
treasury than It la able te meet as It would
desire, I feat aure that nothing would lu
due the city authorities te atrlke out
the appropriation for boeka and atattou atatteu

supplies in Philadelphia, eaUmatlDg tha
whole department high schools, normal
schools and manual training schools, is about
one dollar per upU per aauum."
The cost In Lancaster under the present
ayatem, of boeka alone, ia eatlmated at
about two dollars par annum for each pupil
enrolled. Tnlaeeiimate is baaed upon sta
tistics obtained from all the schools in the
oily except that of Miss Curtis' nod deea net

inlttee believe thst Its adoption by this beard

recommend that section 130 of the rtilea lie

and calling upon "school directors, teachers
and scholars' te unite In making It a day

monwealth." I leth moral and utilitarian
considerations seem te demand that the day
be observed by our school., and I aball be
glad te carry out any instructions aa te tbe
observance of tbe day wblcb the beard may
see tit te give. Judging from the number of
pupils who presented tbemselvea for examU
nation in physiology with a view te promo,

enough te receive all prepared te enter next

Our secondary and grammar schools merit
greater attention than they receive, espe
cially aa regard a tbe pupils who de net pasa
from tbem te tbe higher grades. A long
step In this direction was taken when tbe
Ingle-room ayatem was adopted. Tbe next
step will probably be te elevate tbem above
tbe sphere of mere preparatory achoela for
tbe grade above tbem into independent
schools doing a work or their own. Te bring
Ibis about, tbe reputation of schools and

In response te a call Issued by Urand
Master Workman Terence V. Powderly for

various parts of tbe state, the first meeting
took place Thursday at tbe Knights of Laber
hall, Uarrlsliurg. At 3 o'clock Master Work

sessions will Ins open te all who may come. A
special committee waa appointed te Invite
tbe membera of the legislature and Dever.

status of the various bills In which the
meeting Is Interested. Mr. Uethersall offered
his service te the convention by way ei aid
ing It lu procuring any information it might

bers each were apixilnted te consider bills
bearing en the following Industries: Bitumi
nous coal, anthracite coal, iron, oil, lumber
and agriculture and elate. A committee te
consider general labor bills was alsoappelnted

All tbe leading Industries et the state are

have been Introduced for the bandit el these
whose livelihood depends respectively upon
them. The leaders, however, are advising
tbat the convention recommend In an esixjcial

that all efforts be concentrated upon their
linal passage. It Is then Intended te select a
committee te remain there during tbe re
mainder of tbe session el tbe legislature te

I'OWDfcltl.V'n MI'hbClt.
At tbe meeting in tbe evening In tbe hall
el tbe Heuse of Kspresentatlvef, Mr. Callrey
Introduced (irand Master Workman Pow
derly, who made a stirring speech upon the
duties in hsud :
It I with a reeling of pride that I address
a meeting gathered lu the Heuse of Hepre
xenuthes of my state en tbe question or
labor, net only as it relates te werKingmen.
hii' ! a broader sense ts it relates te alt I
fil It my duty, therefore, te speak In regard
te the convention here. 1 called It te bring
our organisatien together through Its repre
sentatives, te meet with chosen repre
sentatives of the people regardless of Party ;
te ceuter with tbem en measures te benefit
our state. We are charged with being lobby
ists, a labor lobby ( Mr. Powderly here referred
te an editorial lu a Philadelphia paper
which makes tbat charge) ; lebbylsta were
here befere us aud will be here when we are
gene, but we are net here as lobbyists. We
came here te say te the representatives of the
commonwealth, "such a measure is geed,
ethers are net" liefere every election candi
dates wk the working people u vote for
tbem. 'Ibey say, de se aud se and we will
render an equivalent Having made this
premise we certainly bae a right te come
and see If tbat promlne bas been lultllled.
We are charged with being Anarchists and
favoring meaxuren that tend te anarchy. As
chief of our organization 1 can xay that noth
ing of anarchy linds an abiding place in our
midst, but uioneKiliats want te make people
believe the contrary. Ne matter wbaterrera
we have committed in the past, we have
always aimed at doing right We have pur
sued a line el policy aud leund out things tbat
are right and wreug, but we always kept
clear et one thing that brings odium en our
country anarchy. lu his afternoon xeech
Mr. Powderly rejoiced eer the deleat el tbe
Anarchists' candidates In Chicago. J
la is net mere honorable te come here like
men and confer with our repreaentalitesas
te what ought te be done, aud go away and
say we bsve rather aided than retarded
work ? 1 was proud te meet the delegation
tbat came here today. It was larger than 1
exx3cted. 1 saw in that delegation a sign of
hex net a mii was under tbe Intluenceef
liquor. I spoke te many anu all told me
that they neither tasted nor touched or
baudled liquor. Of all our officers, net one
leuche, tastes or handles that which de
grades tbe eul aud damus the body.
As Mr. Powderly concluded there was a
storm et applause. He then Introduced Mr.
Charles II. l.ltcbman, of Massachusetts, gen
eral secretary el tbe Knigbta of Laber, and
afterwards Mr. Ueaumeut, of Washington,
also spoke. Ills remarks were directed
agatust corporations aud against the laws
creating tbem. lie claimed tbe same privi

Jehn U Butler, of llarrlaburg, was then
called upon. He pleaded for the passage of
tbe bill belere the Heuse te prevent tbe em
ployment el children uuder fifteen years of

Mr. Powderly tbeu adjourned tbe meeting
with the remark tbat he hoped all would

all levers of amusements. While tbe opera
msy net become aa popular aa aeine ethers
written by Ullbert and Hulllvan, it certainly
contains a great deal of geed music, wblcb
appeals te tbe popular taste. The Urst act la
much the latter df the two, and tbe ending is
decidedly queer.
The company of last night Is an excellent
one sod, with musicians, contains almost lllty
people. It la beaded by Dlgby Hell, the pop
ular actor, who In the character llehin Oak
itpj'lc, the here el tbe opera, Is given an op
portunity te display his wonderful talent
Ills singing was very effective and the fun
he created was almost unceasing. 11. Mac Mac Mac
doneugb bad tbe part of Jtichartl Dauntless,
the sailor, and fats tenor voice was heard te
advantage. Ills hornplpe In the Urst act was
very nimbly executed. Miss Annie Myers
as Jleic Mayhud was charming and she sang
welt Mrs. Laura Joyce Bell, who In former
years was a great favorite in Lancaster but
has been seen here but little of late, was very
tine as Dame Itannalt. The music la
adapted te her voice and her acting Is
capital. Miss Bessie Kslrbalrn, who last year
was a star In one of BannettA. Moulion'scom Meulion'scom Moulien'scom
panles, was warmly received when she ap
peared In the character of Mad Margaret.
Hhesang and acted very well. Tbe ether
membera of the company did their work
well. A numbeT of tbe soles, duets and tries
were repeatedly encored and tbe audience
seemed greatly pleased with the singing as
well as the acting.
The opera waa put en In tbe best of style,
as the company carries Its own scenery. The
scene in the picture gallery of Kuddygere
castle, In tbe second act, could net have been
better. Ibe costumes or tbe ladies were very
handsome, while tbe soldiers' uniforms
were ery rich and Interestlng.as tbey repre
sented one of each English regiment
Tbe company went from here te llarrla

Tbe Jury at Fault In Finding He Died of Con
gestion of ibe Brain.
In accordance with tbe directions of Dis
trict Attorney Weaver, Doctors M. L. Davis
and Jehn J. Stewart, made a pest mortem
examination of the body of Geerge Welsh,
wbe was found dead in Hcheenberger's
park en Wednesday morning. The second
peat mortem was made at tbe request or tbe
family, wbe bad every reason te believe tbat
deceased had been foully dealt with. Tbelr
chief reason for tbat belief was a wound en
tbe back of the bead, which had net been no.
ticed by the coroner's physician when he
examined the body.
Corener Henaman, Jehn A. Ceyle, esq.,
counsel for the family, and District Attorney
Weaver, and a few ethers were present at
the pest mortem at the beuse of deceased,
which was begun at 5 o'clock en Thursday
evening. Overan hour was consumed In the
operation. Tbe result reached was that Geerge
Welsh's death did net result from violence,
but the conclusion of tbe physicians is tbat
death did net result from congestion of tbe
brain, as testified te by tbe coroner's physi
cian and se found by tbe Jury.
Tbe examination was made by Dr. Davis,
wltbDr.btewartasblsasslstant Tbey found
en the back or tbe head two scalp weuuds,
each about one-half inch in length, but tbese
wounds did net penetrate te tbe skull and
consequently could net bav e caused his death.
Tbey teund no congestion or the brain beyond
tbat which would be produced by alcoholism
wblcb, with exposure, in their Judgment,
caused death. The wounds were such as
might have been produced by Welsh railing
en a couple or small atones.
Dr. Davis says the family were Justified In
demanding that such an examination should
be made as would determine tbe true cause
of death, and forever settle tbe doubts wblcb
might exist as te the cause of death. The
wounds en tbe back of tbe head were sus
picious circumstances, and their full extent
could only be axeertalued by athoreugh post
mortem examination. That has been made
and the family are new satisfied.
It is due te Corener Uensman te state tbat
be is In no ways te blame for tbe necessity el
tbe second pest mortem examination. At
tbe inquest his directions te tbe physician
were explicit He instructed Dr. Compten
te make a thorough examination of tbe body
for marks of violence and when tbe physi
cian reported tbat there were none except a
row bruises en tbe race which were no doubt
received through a fall, be did all that was
required of him.
The aecend pest mortem cost tbe county
an additional ?J0, which could have been
saved had tbe Urst examination been a
thorough one. If tbe lessen learned by tbe
after developments of tbls inquest are heeded
tbe county may be saved such additional ex
penses in the future.
Tbe funeral of Welsh took place this alter alter
neon at '1 o'clock from his residence, Ne.
551 Green street. The circumstances sur
rounding his death had tbe effect of attract
ing a very large crowd. Tbe Interment was
tnade at St Mary's cemetery.

tbe projects proposed aud the needs or tbe
