the occupation of the new building oxcept
that taught by Miss Weber, provided par
ents are willing te make the change
from oue school te another ter the sake or
Hpcuring better accommodation and in in
BtruMien Ter Hiclr cliildrcn." I hardly need
add that the number or pupils te a teacher
in the girls' high school is entirely tee
large te give the necessary attention te the
classes and tlie subjects taught.
Fer the Information or the new members
or tlie beard, mero especially, your city
superintendent would state that his oUlee
hour Is from 8 te 85 u. in. en every school
day, and that he meets the teachers at his
office as fellows :
Primary grade, en the first Saturday of
each month at 0 a. m.
Intermediate, en the flrst and third
Monday or each month at 6p. m.
Secondary,en the second Tuesday or each
month at 7 p. m.
Grainniar.en the fourth Saturday of each
month at 0 a. in.
The meetings efthe high school tcachers
are gonerally held in their own rooms -en
such days and at such tlmes as is most
convenient.
It would afford both teachers and super
intendent plc.isure te meet mombers of the
beard at these gatherings, and all are
ceid'ally invited te be prosent.
Very rospectmlly,
"i our obedient servant,
R. K. BuErmLE.
, Mr. McComsey said there should be a re--taining
wall en the eastern side of the
Chestnut st root school building and he
moved that tlie property committee lie
authorized te contract for such work. The
motion was adopted.
Mr. McComsey thought that the third
story of the new school building en Chest
nut should have u fleer and he moved that
the property commlttee have that work
done. This motion was oppesod by sov sev
eral inembers, who held that there was no
necessity for the fleer, as the apartment
was net intended rer use and Mr. McCom McCem
sey's motion was laid en tlie table.
Mr. Hegencr meved that the city tcachers
1)0 requested te attend the lustltute next
week, and be enrolled, and that theso who
fail te be enrolled shall have deducted from
their salary for the time they are net in at
tendance Mr. McComsey said thcre was a diil'er diil'er
ence or opinion among tcachers as te the
benefit or these institutes. Seme of the
teachers spout that week In vUiting the
schools of ethor cities, and in thelr Judg
ment derived mero benellt than ir forced
te attend the Institute lie believed in
allowing teachers te exercise their own
chnice in the matter.
Mr. Raub took the posititien that 200
teaching days made tlie school year, and
mero than that could net be asked of the
teacher.
Mr. Grlest held that as nothing had been
said, when the salaries were fixed, about
teachers attending the Institute, ir the
beard compels teachers te bocemo mem
bers of the institute the beard w ill have te
pay them for attending.
Sir. HcL'cner's motleu was laid en the
table.

The annual banquet te the members of

Immediately after the adjournment of the
beard. Jehn A. Snyder was the caterer
and he propared an elegant set-out, which
was heartily enjoyed by the members and
thelr Invited guests, the mombers who re
tired en the last day of October.
President McCormick presided at the
banquet and after the table had been
cleared of edibles speech-making was de
clared in order.
Dr. Wickersham was called upon and he
gave an Interesting account of his trip
abroad. He concluded by saying that
after examining closely the institutions of
Europe he was mere than ever convinced
that there was no country en the face of
the glebo te equal the United States.
Mr. McCemsey was next called upon
and he entertained the beard with remi
niscences since his first membership with
it, a quarter of a century age. He spoke
feelingly or the less the beard sustained In
tlie death or Rebert A. Evans and Charles
F. Eberman, who had been at the last ban
quet. Or the 36 members constituting the beard
when he became a member. 25 are dead.
During his membership, 43 members with

Among these were many honored names,

.Sanderson, Dr. McCormick, Abram Shenk,
Geerge F. Breneman, U. A. Reck held,

This large number or deaths Mr. Mc Mc Mc
Comeoy said would seem te iudicute that
the ofllce or school director Is net a healthy
business. ,
Continuing his reminiscences thospeaker
said that of the Urst beard organized under
our common school system, ail are dead ;
or the first corps or teachers net ene is
living.
When he became a momber the entire
school property in the city cost the
beard less than 923,000. Today thore
are two or three buildings in the city,
either ene or which cost mero than that.
The school property in the city te-day is
worth $270,000. During Ills membership
ever g.'OO.OOO wero oxpended for buildings
Hud furnltureuncl flO.OOOrorrreo textbooks
and notwithstanding this large expendi
ture the debt or the district is less than
100,000 iiud during all these years the tax
rate has been three mills, with but ene or
two exceptions.
There was net a city in Pennsylvania
no
children
and in
termediate, 815 In the secendary and
grammar, and f30 in the high schools. This
cost Is 100 per cent less than In soine ether
cities in the state, although we graduate 100
per cent mero from our high schools than
our neighboring cities.
The salaries paid te our teachers are net
as high us souie ether cities, but they are
far beyond the avorage and equal te many.
The number of pupils enrolled in twoniy tweniy twoniy
flve years has doubled, the number or
teachers has doubled and the salaries or
toachers largely increased.
Mr. McComsey then roferred te three
worthy sons or honored sires: Dr. D. R.
McCormick, Wm. R. Brinten, and Thes.
B. Cochran, present members, with whose
fathers he had served in the beard. In

lenberg and Jehn Zlmmerman.
Dr. Wickersham referred te tlie early
days or the Lancaster city school beard.
When he was county superintendent in
1851, '55 and '58 Lancaster had ene or the
nblcst school beards In tbe state. He paid
an eloquent trlbute te Themas II. Bur Bur Bur
eoeos, te whose olferts, mero than any ene
man, he attributed the success of the frce
school systeui.
Jehu I. Hartman was next called upon.
He said he was glad te soe that politics was
a thing or the past. That was evidenced by
the manner in which the ofllcers were
chesen. He knew the members would
work for the best lntei ests of the schools.
He closed with a reference te the many
new school buildings erected since he be
caeo a member.
Thes. B. Cochran was next called for.
He referred te the unsolicited honor be bo
stewed upon him, in making him the chair
man orthe llnance committee, as the suc
cessor or Rebert A. Evans. He paid an
eloquent tribute te tlie memory or Rebert
A. Evans, and said that he would endeavor
te serve tlie school beard and publie in the
line his predecessor did.
He said lie had a word te say te the Re
publican members orthe beard, and it was
this : that the Democratic members or tlie
beard bet them an oxample, by thelr action
this eveiiing that is well worth following,
and se far as he was coucerned in tlie fu
ture he would be goerued in similar
cases as the Democrats wero govcrned en
this occasion.
In conclusion he referred te the improve
ment made in buildings Blnce he
cuine into the beard, and wild that
te Henry E. Slaymaker and Jehn
I. Hartman mero than te any ethors
w ere the dtiens or Lancaster indebted for
these buildings.
Dr. D. R. McCormick, in Ircspense te a
call, speke of his brier membership or blx
years; paid a tribute te Jehn I. liartinau
for his great interest in the publie schools
and hoped that his business would been
permit him te re(urn again te tlie beard.
Mr. Cochran biiggcsted that the beard
employ a general utility man te leek ulter
the school property and de such repairs as
may be needed. He believed the beard
would save meney by having such a man.
Mr. Hartman endorsed all that Mr.
Cochran had said us te the necessity or
employing such a person.
Mr. AMckersliam suggested that the
property cominittee be districted as was
the superintending committee in that
wuv the labor would be divided.
The lire alarm struck whlle Dr. Wicker
sham was speaking, and at the conclusion
of his remarks the assemblage adjourned.

,' , teea I Covered by Insurance.
Last evening there was a very destruc
tive tire en West Grant street, this city, in
which a stable was destroyed and flve flne
horses burned te death. The building was
owned by Gustave Relchman, proprietor
of the Ancher hotel, en West King street,
and It was situated en Grant street, Imme
diately In the rear of the hotel. The build
ing was occupied by Moses Plose, a herse
dealer. The Are was discovered about 11
o'cleek by Mr. Relchman, who saw flames
Issuing from the second story, where the bar
was keptln the building was six herses,Bn'd
Geerge Nelty and Jehn GUI, who reached
the fire early, tried te get them out. They
succeeded In rescuing a black mare, which
was badly burned, however. The flames
spread se rapidly that It was Impossible te
save the ethers and they perished. One of
them was living after the Are. but It was In
such a terrlbleoendltlon that it had. te be.
xuiea. -rne cne mat was saved had ene
eye burned out and the tall and mane
etT. After the fire had been discovered an
alarm was struck from box 10, at Water
and West King street, and all efthe tire
companies responded, although they
scemed te be very long getting te the burn
ing building. They could de but little
with the building which was seen almost
entirely destroyed.
During the flre thcre was a tremendous
crowd of peeple In the narrow stroet and
the heat was intense. In a stable im
mediately across the street rrem the burn
ing building were soveral horses belonging
te Geerge Wlant. These were taken out
with the greatest difficulty, as the animals
were frightened at the flre. When they
wero gotten out they tried te get away, and
It was with much trouble that they could
be controlled.
Mr. Reichman had nothing In the build
ing. Besides the horses Mr. Plose bad 150
bushels or corn, three tens of hay, a sleigh,
two carts and some ether things, all or
which were burned. Five or tbe herses
were fine heavy draft animals that bad
been purchased by Mr.Plose In the county,
Three of them only came In last night at
nine o'clock. The heavy herses were all
valued at ever xzoe per head. The sixth
herse was Plose's driver. Te-morrow Is
the day for shipping the horses te New
Yerk, and had the flre occurred te-night
there would have been fifteen herses In tlie
stable Plose did net knew exactly what
his less would be this morning. He had
an Insurance of $2,000 en horses with Bails
man & Burns in the Northern Insurance
company,or Aberdeen, and 1200 en wagons,
sleighs, harness, blankets, tc., and (50 en
hay and reed, In the same company.
Tbe building was 64 feet long and 32 feet
wide. It was entirely of frume 'und was
considered ene of the best herse stables In
the city. During the summer Mr. Reich
man enlarged, filled up and Improved the
building, which at the tlme of the Are had
25 stalls. There Is no doubt that the flre
was the work of an Incendiary, who likely
crawled into the building and applied the
match te the hay. This morning large
crowds visited the stable ; It was a sorrow
ful sight te beheld the flve large herses
lying dead.
The stable was lnsured with J. II. Oster
myer for $22i" in the Rochestor German
company, and (225 in the New Hampshire.
FORGOT $160,000.
Xiroe ,Men Leave That Amount In a
'Cab.
It is a (rule of the New Yerk clearing
house that all bank exchanges must be m
at ten o'clock every morning, the penalty
for a breach of which rule is a flne or $').
The oxchanges are conveyod rrem the Im-
fierters and Traders' bank in a stout
cather box, which is cbalned te a clerk,
an assistant helping him, and a
third man as watchdog. On Thurs
day the box was filled with exchanges
amounting te $2,000,000, and $700,000 worth,
which could net be enclosed, were put in a
hand satchel. As it was near ten o'clock a
cab was hired and the three men wero
driven te the clearing heuse, where in their
haste te be en tlme they rushed into the
building, leaving the satchel in the cab.

PAM FIUDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1889.
THE PAPACT AND CATHOLICISM ,
The 'atlean'e Deelree and Probable Fu
ture Course Explained by a Cath
olio Oman.
With regard te the question of the res
toration of papal sovereignty In Italy,
which has agitated taoCathelki world for
some time past, the following from the
Baltimore GitheUt Mirror seems te Indicate
a new departure and explains what Is
desired by the Vatican t
We think we voce the Intelligent senti
ments of Amertcah Catholics at least, when
we say that It Is net desired te interfere
with the geographical lines that at present
deflne the boundaries of the kingdom of
Italy. The kingly prerogntlve that for
merly lnhered In the pontificate In rotation
te the temperalities that constituted the
papal dominions Is neither essential nor
Indispensable te the spiritual authority or
spiritual dominion efthe pope.
The holy father, as vicar or Christ and
vislble head or the church, has no need for
cxtenslve territory wherein te wield the
power ed exercise the rule or an earthly
kingdom. The transfer of tbese states that
for centuries constituted the temporal pos
sessions of the church from the control of
the papacy te that of tbe secular power
or Italy, though achieved-by rraud and
robbery, cannot be regarded as a depriva
tion affecting themplrltual Interests of the
Catholic world.
It was never contemplated that the main
tenance of the papacy was.te depend upon
the revenues dorivee. front' temporal pos
sessions or any kind. It Is the business
and the duly orthe Catholics of the whole
world te properly support and maintain
such a system as is necessary te carry the
gevernment of the church.
But while the Catholle world dee net
demand the restoration of the papal states
te the secular dominion of the iope. it
,dees demand that tiie sovereign pontiff
shall oniey absolute froedom In the oxer exer
else or his spiritual authority. Te attain
this it is ladlspensable that he shall net be
subject te any secular power nor depen
dent upon any. He must be really and
absolutely free in the fullest sense of the
term.
It is further demanded that the seat of
the pepe's spiritual kingdom shall net be
removed. The primacy or Rome must be
preserved and perpetuated.
One thing is certaln, the pope will never
voluntarily relinquish the rights or the
holy see te the enjoyment or lndopendenco
in the rree exercise or spiritual dominion
in Rome. If he leaves Heme he wilt leave
it as the result or vielence, as some or his
predecessors have dene, under pretest, and
without for a moment censlderlmr the
feasibility of a permanent abandonment of
tne eternal uity.
What the Catholle world hopes te see,
and what It Is anxious te elfect by the ox ex ox
erclso of every available power at Its com
mand, is the final establishment of tlie
holy see within the present limits of Reme.
The perpetuity or tbe church's mission
does net Involve the possession or "tem
poral power" in Its old sense. It does ro re ro
qulre immunity for its supreme head rrem
evcry suspicion of secular Interference with
thesjcred functions of his holy ofllce; but
this can be had in Rome as elsowhere. pro
vided such frcodem as is iudisponsabfe can
be sufficiently guaranteed and secured by
an. understanding between the secular
powers upon whom the duty of Its preser
vation would naturally develve.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE.
NEWTM LIGHTER DIES AT BIS ROME,
DUKE STREET, TilSSORMM.
ON
A Member of the Bar Ovev Fifty Years.
He Serve In Councils und Soheol
Beard A Prominent Churchman.
Newton Llghtner, one of Lancaster's
beat known citlzens, died at 11 o'clock to
day at his home, Ne. 310 North Duke street.
He had been In 111 health for a long time
from a general breaking up of the systein.
Of late he had been gradually growing
werse until death relieved him of all suf
fering te-day.
Mr. Llghtner Just bofero his death made
a particular request that no portrait or him
should be published in the paers with his
obituary. The iHTKLUOF.NCKn published
some rominlscences of Mr. Llghtner en
June 10, 16S5. and with the artirle prlufed
an excellent likeness, the cut or which we
still possess and had ready for use at the
head el this article The Intkllieencxr,
aa Mr. Llghtner well knew, Is tlie only
paper In the city having a cut or him. He
and his friends had often praised the like
ness, but In deference te his modest death
bed request we refrain from using It, with
the comment that his face must live mere
vividly In the raotnery of all who kuew htm,
and no artist could de Justice te that white
locked head, clear blue eves and finely
chlseled features.
Mr. Llghtner was born In Wllllamstewn,
Lancaster county, NovemborO, 1913. Judge
Llghtner, his futher, was a man or promi
nence lu his day and gave his son a geed
education. He graduated at Princeton col cel col
lege In 1823, afivr which he entered the law
otllce of Jehn R. Montgomery, a leading
member orthe l,ancaslcr bar, and read law
with him uutll 1830, when he was admitted
te the bar, and has been In practice ever
since. He seen had a geed practice, but
being in easy circumstances he did net at
tempt te push hlmseir into the front or at
torneys, or te squabbie for fame bofero a
quarter sossleus Jury.
He was a memuer of both common and
select councils for several yours, being
firesident or select council for three years,
le was a member or the Lancaster school
beard almost continuously rrem 184S te
1860 and was presldent orthe beard for two
years. During bis long bervice he held
positions en the most important commit
tees, and took a leading part in the delib
erations or the beard.
Mr. Llghtner In his earlier life was for
many years an actl ve member of the volun
teer flre department. Frem the flrBt of
January, 1818, te the 4th of January, 1855,
he was president of the Union Fire com
pany, decllulng a ro-electlon at the latter
data.
Mr. Llghtner was a Ufa-long momber or
the Protestant Episcopal church, and for
forty-threo years a vestryman or St. James'
church.
Mr. Llghtner's wire was a daughter or
James Hepkins, esq., one or the most cml-
nent lawyers that ever practised nt the
Lancaster bar, who was n most estimable
woman. She died about four years age.
Thelr only seu, Jumes Hepkins Llghtner,
is well known. Mr. Llghtner has a brether
(Hervoy) living In Peoria, Illinois.
Anether brother (Hepkins) was for many
years an efficer lu the fourth auditors
ofllce at Washington. He died In 1860.
He was a Jefforsenlan Democrat,
without the shadow or turning, and
ever ready te glve reason for the
faith that was in him tn language both
foiclble and ceuvlnclng. He was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Judge of this Judicial
district In 1851, and polled 4,000 votes, te
6,602 cast for Judge Hayes and 5,122 for
JudgoCemly.
He was genial, cultured and kind
hoertcd, an accomplished gentleman und
worthy citizen. Modesty was a prominent
trail, and It wus his wish that his obituary
should be bricf,as wohave.tricd te make it.

A Criminal Knterprlse.
The general term of the New Yerk
supreme court has handed down a
decision sustaining Judge Barrett's
erder dissolving the North River
Sugar Refining company. Tlie docislen
wus wrltten by Justice Dnniele, Presiding
Justice Van Brunt and Justice Brady cou ceu
curlng. In his opinion Justice DunteU,
after speaking orthe Sugar Trusts, says :
A Jury certainly would be felly Justified
In concluding, from the facts of the evl evl evl
donce in tbe case, that the governing object
or the association wns te ruise the prlce of
thn product by limiting the supply. That
it wus tlie intention of this combination,
agreement, association, or whatever olse It
may be called, te raise tlie price of a neces
sary oflife by limiting the supply is appar
ent, aud as such is subject te the condem
nation orthe law, by which It la denounced
as a criminal enterprise.
Thrasbed by His Mother-ln-Law.
A Hungarian woman in Seuth Bethle
hem recently offerod a man or her own
nationality 830 ir he would marry her
daughler. Thoeffor wns accepted aud the

wero en Thursday marched te Justice
Krauskopf's ofllce by Constable Dornn,

The l'oeplo Decldtng.
Te a ropertor or Iho Washington rest
ex-l'resldent Cleveland thus expressed
hlmseir in regard te the elections ou Tues
day last : " It is evident that the leaven or
tariff reform lias at last loavened the whele
lump. Tlie West, which has sullered tlie
most from the unjust burden or tariff
taxation, lias awakened. The state plat
forms or both Iowa und Ohie wero abreast
or the St. Leuis platform en tlie sublect or
tariff referm. The peeple have considered
nnd passed Judgment. It wus for the people
te decide. They are new deciding. It is
enough for me te say that I am satlsfied at
the indications und results or Tuesday's
elections. The verdict in Virginia indicates
that the Seuth Is still faithful te the
Democracy of Joffersou and Jackseu."
