Mr. Brlnten wpa for a long time a di rector et tbe Philadelphia tiunplke ; of the Lancaster aid Mlddietewri turnpike; and waa for the past six years treasurer of the Lancaster and Wllltauibtewn turnpike read. In ISM) Mr. ilrlnteu was elected treas urer or the Lancaster it Huequehauna turn pike read company, and bold Iho cilice up te tbe tlme et bis death. lie was for many years in the rnanagoraent or the Inland In surance and DepeRlt company.

In IStiO be waa chosen president or the beard, and con tinned te serve in that capacity until 1878, when be declined re-election. He was re garded as au excellent parliamentarian and an impartial presiding cfllcer, while bis thorough knowledge et tbe rules govern ing tbe beard enabled lilm te transact bus' ness wltb dispatch and regularity. president of tut. school ueaiid. Mr. Brlnten'a term as president et the school beaid was mere trying than that or any or his predecessors or successors. Dur ing tbe war partis inshlp ran high, and en tered the school beaid as well as all ether departments of the local government. The legislature1 had previously cbanged the law several Union te cite the Kepubllcans con trol el the soheol beard and city councils. The school beard at that tlme consisted of thirty six elective members and three ex officio members the mayor and the presi dents et select and common councils. Dur lng the early days of the war the Kepub 1 cans bad a majority, but owing te the warm partisanship exhibited by some or tbe mem bers, tbe Democrats in 1SG3 nominated a full ticket of twelve candidates and eleetej them all, giving tl em control of the beards. In 1607 tbe Kepubllcans bad enacted what was called a "non partUan" soheol law, for Lsneister city only. It legislated out of cilice all the old directors, including tbe myer and presidents of councils, and provided for the election et thirty-six new directors, divided Inte one, two and tbrcn year classes ; It further pro vided that no elector should vete for mere than eighteen et tbe tbltty-slx directors te be chosen. By a clever arrangement the Democrats elected twenty one of the thlrty-slx members, and tbuH continued in control et the beard. The Kepubll cans next secured tee passage of a law changing the tlme of election et school directors from March te November. This law remained in force until 1674, when the adoption of the new ntate constitution went Inte efftct providing for the election et all municipal officers In March. Through all these changes In school alTalrs Mr. Brln Brln eon was president et the beard and brought te the annoying duties of the eillce such a thorough knowledge of the various laws, operative and Inoperative, as te win the esteem of bis political opponents, and when he retired from the presldeney he received a unanimous vote of thanks for bis digni fied and impartial action as presiding cm cm esr.

As is well known tbe offi cer is the smallest man en Iho pelice foreo. He Is active and strong, howevor, aud dues net lack pluck. The colored man was a big ugly looking customer, weighing at leaU 175 pounds. It was about lour o'clock yesterday afternoon when word was sent for pelice rflleers te go out te the corner of tbe Pennsylvania railroad and the Uarrlsburg turnplke where there were a number et ttamrs, Olllcer Beas went out te the place alene, and upon arriving tbere he found four white men and the coon standing near a tire which they bad built. The white men ran at the approach of the officer, but the darkey remalned. The officer told blm that be would bave te meve away Irem that place, and he bad better go without any trouble. The coon became very saury, and told tbe clllcer that be would net leave. Te emphaslzi his words he roached Inte his pocketand pulled out a villainous looking revolver, the trig, ger of whleh he began working. The clll cer was somewbat (surprised at this and was unable te get hta rovelvor In time. He im mediately thought et anether mede of war war fare howevor, which he put into operation He quickly dedged under the darkey's weapen and " butted " him in tbe face with his head. This knocked the colored man down and caused the bleed te Hew from bis mouth. The officer secured his pistol, yet the darkey still showed tight, butltwBbad for blm that he did, as the olllcer proceodod te glve him a first-class tbreablng. The negre then agreed te go along te tbe station bonse, whleh he did, with thonlpperson his wrist. When the man was searched a quart whisky bottle, tbocentenlH of which bad been nearly all drank, was found en him. The revolver tbat be carried was leadod in overy cham ber. The man gave his niime as Charles Hendersen, and said bis home was in Car lisle. This morning another whisky bottle was found ou blm. it bad been overlooked last evening and be had drank the contents during tbe night. This morning he wai yet under the Inlluence cf ll'juer. He was given a hearing betore (be mayor, who Bent hlmtej4tl ler 30 days. Officer Beas has also preferred cbarges against blm bofero Alderman Plnkerten.
