Te the Heaftl nf Scheel Direetun i
Gentlemen: Your city superintendent

schools for the month of April :
The number of pupils in attendance was
951 in the high schools, 3C5 in the grammar,
254 In the secondary, 52 in the ungraded,
697 in the Intermediate, and l,4t2inthe pri

making a total of 3,008.
Tne average iwrcentagc. of attendance

Barnes, Hiimphrevllle, King and Mrs. A.
McCemsey. It Is but Just te these absen
tees te say that one el the meetings, that
ferihe intermediate grade, was held en a
very disagreeable evening, which accounts
for the number from that grade being se
large.
The number of visits te the schools made

Very respectfully,

Mr. Itarttnan presented the petition of a
number of citizens of tbe Seventh ward for
the use of the Rockland street school heuse
for the purpose of holding religious wor
ship. The prayer of the petitioners was
granted upon the usual conditions that the
school room used be kept In geed order.
ALL WANT TO SPEAK.
Dr. Levorgoed presented the following
petition from 24 inembers of the graduating
class :
We the uudersigncM members of the
class of '89 of the 1-nneaster high school pe
tition the beard of directors te allow each
graduate te speak at the commencement
exercises of the said high school.
Gee. H. Dlnkelberg, C. S. Inglls, William

Huber, Jennie Skeen, Carrie L. Met7ger,

V. Erlsman, William C. Bletcher, W. S.
Splckler, Henry F. Myers, Walter W.
Watsen, Bertha Sell, A. M. Sheck, Gee. II.
Klnzer.
Dr. tavcrgoed moved that the prayer of
the iwtltleners be granted and In support
of It wild up te last year that had always
been the practice The high school coin cein coin
mencoments were always crowded until
last year, when tickets were a drug. Last
year thore was no life te the commence
ment and It was because nf the change
made limiting the number of speakers. It
Is said that If all sneak it will nrolemr
the exercises. Directors who de net choeso
te need net remain at the hall. The parent's
and friends of the children are Interested
In this matter. The superintendent and
teachers have no right te select these
speakers. Distinctions are made and
favorites selected.
Mr. McCoiusey foil like, giving oil the
graduates an opportunity te speak, but the
graduating classes new are tee large for
one session. Te Indict forty or mere ora
tions and essays en an audience Is tee
wearisome, monotonous ami tiresome.
Freedom of speech Is one of our iualicnable
rights, and te glve all a chance he moved
as an amendment that the prayer of the
petitioners be granted, and" that the pro pre
gramme shall be se arranged that thcre
will be two sessions en commencement
day, instead of one, as heretofore.
Dr. Levorgoed accepted the amendment.
Mr. Grlest was npjesed te granting the
prayer of the petitioners. Thcre was an
objection a year age because all were net
allowed te HiMak -when all extcctcd te.
During the present year the pupils of the
graduating classes have been working with
the Idea of winning ene of the honors that
would entitle them te speak at the coining
commencement. Geed work has been done
In the high school this year by this rivalry
for the honors,and the averages were never
before se high os this year. As te the asser
tion that the pregramme last year was as
long as nt any ether commencement, the
committee hud nothing te de with the filling
In of the musical pregramme, mid It was
that feat u 10 that lengthened the exercises.
In conclusion he said the teachers of the
high school are content with the arrange
ment us new made.
Mr. Reynolds favored nil the graduates
talking. The high school Is the end of edu
cation of u great number of our boys and
girls and it was proper that the parents,
relatives and ft lends nf the graduates
should have the privilege of hearing them
from the stage at the end of their school
life. It Is a gieat day for the parents when
their children appear as graduates and their
happy.smlllug faces show hew pleased they
are when the names nf their children are
announced from the piegraiume. Percent
ages, upon which honor are given, he did
have much confidence in. Pupils are ie
duced for misconduct and honors very
often go te the persons net entitled te ex
ercise them.
Mr. Btesiiis was opposed te the granting
of the request asked for weightier reasons.
It may be plcasaut for parents that their
children aie allowed te take part in com
mencement exercises, but that is a trivial
reason for a change In the former jmllcy. He
believed in honors and thore was no ineon ineen ineon
tive Ke powerful. If nil graduates aie
allowed te take part in these commence
ment exercises all aie en a dead level and
the dull and bright pupil receive tke same
reward. It is the experience of all school
men that where honors are the reward thu
best results are obtained. There can be no
such thing as favoritism.
There huve been two honors at our com
mencements for the past thirty or mere
years and he has necr before heard of
these being awarded through favoritism.
They always w cut te these w he wen them.
The motion granting the prayer of the
petitioners wus adopted by a vete of 111 te
14, as fellows :
Messis. Barmstetter, I'rismau, Iiver Iiver Iiver
goed, Lichty, LlpHid, Marshall, McCom McCem

cepted and a vete of thanks tendered for
faithful -rformauce of duty.

of teachers us deemed advisable.

Mr. Schroyer moved that u committee of
Jive, of which Mr. Marshall Bhull Ihj chair
man, be apelnted te make all the nccca
sary arrangements for the high wchoel com
mencement. The motion was adopted.
Mr. Cochran said he did net think the
IkkihI fully realized what it had done In
granting permission te all the graduates te
speak en commencement d.iy and he
moved that the high school commencement
committee, the city biipurinteiidunt or
superintending committee, shall net take
any action us te arrangements until after
the next meeting of the beard.
The point of order was made that the
motion could net be entertained, It havlnjr

motion was in order.

What the Proaecntor and Defendant
Ajirce te De te Prerrnt Their Wires
Interfering With Xaeh Other.
Geerge Lulf. and Millard Waller, two
empleyes of the Pennsylvania Telephone
company, who are charged with malicious
trespass In cutting down a dead wire of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
which they claimed iutorfercd with
their wires st Duke and Christian streets,
were heard liefore Alderman McConemy
this morning. A large , number of wit
nesses testified te the state of the wires
at this point, where these nf the
railroad and Western Union companies
cress these of the telephene company st
right angles. At the hearing the railroad
eemiauy's counsel contended that they
hail the right of way ami the Uiopheno
company's wire must boJcVptfrem theirs.
The telephene ceuiiany contended that the
railroad company had raised Its wlre se as
te unnecessarily bring them In contact and
that they hail put up the dead wlre, .which
is net insulated, for the purpose of render
ing these of the telephene company useless
in onler that Ihey would 1st takeu away.
Yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, upon
application of the telephene company,
Jttdge Livingston granted an Injunction
restraining the railroad company from con
tinuing the dead wlre and directing them
te remove It. The Injunction was served
upon Supervisor Leng, Tut no attention
was paid te It and the w Ire remained up.
During the night railroad officers watched
the wire, but at 8:30 this morning the tele
phone employee cut It. The railroad com
pany again put It up t nd the telephone
ceui)aiiy was about te ask for an attach
ment against Supervisor Leng for con ten t
of court. The tolephono counsel coutended
that while these proceedings were end!ng
before Judge Livingston the uldermau
ought te glve no decision in the telephene
case.
At this stnee the matter was temporarily
settled by nn arrangement by virtue of
which neither party walve any legal right
which they may have. The railroad com
pany agreed te withdraw the trespass suits
It hnd Instituted and further ugroes
without expense te the telephene
company, te place the telephone
wires nt a safe distance from the railroad
and Western Union wires. The telephone
ceinmny agrees te w itlidraw Us bill for un
Injunction. Fer, the present the railroad
company will put up an Insulated wlre In
stead of the dead wlre, he that these of the
telephone company will net be atfectcd.

' President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania

presidents ofthe commercial and umrltlme
bodies of Philadelphia, In which he de
fines clearly the position held bv the com
pany tewartl the bill new pending in the
legislature known ns the "grade crossing
bill." President Roberts says that thore Is
a grave misapprehension In reference te
the previsions of the bill, and asserts that
it Is only intended fur the carrying out of
existing laws prohibiting the crossing of
imblie streets at grade by ste.iiu railways,
laeays the Pennsylvania Rjiliwuy com cem
istny is only liitetcstcd se farTn the bill us
it will assist thein In changing Its present

girl slept. He took a lamp from the man
tel, Ut it and began his search for valuables.
The dicker of the light and thecreak of the
deer alarmed the girl, and, rising te u sit
ting posture, asked the burglar his busi
ness. He coolly replied that It tas none of
her concern, and if she made any outcry
he would threw the lump at her.
The girl wasn't Intimidated by thethieal
and started for the fi out room, se that she
could glve the alarm. As she arese the
Intruder thiew the lamp nt her, but It
mbsed its mark, and falling te the lloer,
was crushed te splinters, 'the man then
descended front the window which he had
entered, taking with him $10.
Will Secretary lllalne Ilollref
Secretary lllalne is reiierted hs steadily
improving hi health, and announcement is
made that he will be at his desk lu u few
days. In circles usually well informed It
Is strongly intimated that Mr. Illalue is
likely te lotlre from the cabinet befoie
long. Tim ground assigned in certain
quarters is a degree of Ini empatlhlilty ex
isting between the president and Mr.
lllalne, but many persons believe that the
secretary will be forced toretlre en account
of his inquired health. The constant
strain of the past two mouths lias been tee
much for him, and he lias been advised te
leave Washington and take rest at some
health lesert, rather than te return te the
lalsirs of the state department and the In
cestant importuning and badgering of
ollice beekers.

In Which the Cuban Giants Get Their
Itcvcngften Lancaster.
Between (bur and five hundred jieople of
this city went out te McGrann's park yes
terday afternoon te see the Cuban Giants
get even with the Lancaster clttli In their
cceml gairie Tet the championship or the
Middle States League. Never have a set
of ball players visited Lancaster who felt
as bsdly as the Giants did ever thelr deftmt
en Wednesday. They expected te sweep
everything befere them nnd therefore hail
geed reason for being put out at a defeat
In the llrst game. Few, If any, poreens in
Lancaster expected the home club te win
mero than ene game from this strong ag
gregation and the disappointment was net
great at the result or yesterday's contest,
which was wen by the Giants by a scere or
1 te 0. The colored men had bleed lit thelr
eyes from the start ami they worked like
Trojans te win. Their Uttery was Sclden
and Themas' and the Lancaster boys could
de nothing with the delivery of the former.
They managed te get fetir singles, two of
which are credited te Cellins. They hit the
lall nt ether times, but It nearly always
landed In the hands of the darkeys.
At ene tlme they had three men en bases,
but could net scere. Carrell pitched well
for the home team, and Gibsen caught lit
geed slyle, although he was n llltle bit off
in throwing. Thore Is little doubt that he
tvtll overcome this fault In lime nnd turn
out a very valunble man. The Innings in
w hlch the runs were scored wero the thlnl
and seventh, nnd then Carrell was hit haul.
In tliu third Seltlnn get a hit and stele.

tatter's two bagger nnd n slngle byThumas.
After tw n hands wetti out lu the seventh,
Grant get his base en balls nnd Harrison
brought him in with n long drlve
te the race track In deep centre Held
for a home um. Cellins made a
great olVert te get the tiall nnd had It net
been for his fear of Injuring himself against
the track rence he might have had It. The
ball Wame lest In a gulley or Harrison
could net have gene around en It. Follow
ing Harrison came Frye, who tcek hlsbase
en balls. He atole second nnd advanced
te third en Deytl's hit. Solden's ball was
stepped by Umg who threw te 'O'Denuell
and the latter mulled It allowing the two
men te scere. This slopped the run gettlnit
of the liming and for the remainder of the -I
game, although at nun tlme the Giants had
three men 011 bases nnd iw hands out. The
greatest feature of thn game w as thn second
base play of Grant, who accepted twelve
chances, rapturing balls that soenied
