In the opinion of the architect and property com mittee the contractor and nls bondsmen took no advantage whatever In evading n the least In net fully and honestly com plying with the specifications and agree ment. The exception referred te above was In net having the building completed en the 1Mb of October instead of December 30. The detention was caused by net getting , the stones at the proper time.

As before reperted the Snead & Wills warming and ventilating apparatus and the admirable dry closet system has yet te be tested, but we have no doubt but that It will prove a cemplete success. Tho.whelo system of heating Is guaranteed for seven years against all repairs, except worn out and broken grates. This agreement will be carefully preserved for future refer ence. The attic 1ms been floored new and sub stantial fencing placed around the entire building and ether Improvements made tint nfccKsurv te mention. The school building has been Insured for $10,000. The Insurance Is perpetual. The furniture is also included, being a little mere than one-third of Its real value. This hand seme uud substantial school building will add nearly 830,000 te the value of school property In Lancaster. The malicious outrage that was com mitted in the school buildings en Seuth Mulberry street has been guarded against In the future by having new locks placed en all doers and gates and additional win dow fastenings and also watchman em ployed several nights. In connection with the chairman of the textbook committee we offered 850 for the apprehension of the per son or persons who committed this mean, malicious and contemptible outrage. The chairman of the text book commlt cemmlt commlt tee will report the amount of damage dene in the destruction of the books. Th fnllnwlne- named lanlters have been appointed, oil sober, Industrious and suit able men: Philip Myers, East Lemen street; Martin Warfel, West Chestnut; Frederick Bush, Seuth Mulberry street. Mrs. McClaln, of East Lemen street school, and Geerge Sensenderfer, of Seuth Mulberry street schools, were removed for eufficlent cause. We hope the abeve appointments will meet the approval of tha beard. ... .... The American societies have asked the property committee te ciect a suitable flag stall en the uew school building and refer the matter te the school beard for instruc tions. If authorized by the beard we are prepared te gratify their request. Mr. Mayer, contractor, has presented a bill efW83 for extra work done that the present property committee knew nothing about.

Glvler then went towards his home and the next morning waa found unconscious about fifty yards from his house. He waa car ried te hla home, where he died shortly afterwards. There were marks en Glv ler face and body and the coroner found that death resulted from injuries received at the lisnds of Geed.

It waa also shown that Geed admitted the next day that he and Glvler had a fuss, and that he had given Glvler a thrashing.

Cogley, hla wife, mother-in-law and another relative walked te the Bread street station ea Sunday evening. Jee waa with a nephew and waa some dis tance ahead of hla wife, and when the rail road station waa reached through the great crowd there he and his wife Docauie Mrs. Cogley thinking that her husband was en the 0:30 train, lu the smoking car, get en tbe train. He missed that train lu looking for his wlfe and took tbe next train, which lea Bread street at 0:50, and that waa the last aeen of him alive. . On Monday morning be was found near the track, two miles from Trenten, In 15 Inches of water. His neck was broken and there was a hole In the back part of his head. His body waa taken te Trenten and S laced In the niorgue, but was net Identl ed until late en Monday afternoon. There waa no Inquest held and the exact manner In which be met his death will never be known. He waa net killed In Jumping off the train, as was supposed, because there were tour tracks between thst en which his train was and wbore he was found. The theory of thoerow of the freight train who found his body Is that Cegley became awake after the train left Trenten, the con ductor slewed up te let him offend that he was struek by the Western Express as he was walklngiiaek te Trenten. The Western Express was due at that point where bis body was found at 8:35, the exact time at which his watch was stepped.

One of the Contestants Leses Ule Eyes and Others Break Thetr l.tmbe-8ul- 11 van, an Old Soldier, Whipped, Last night a cocking main, that has been talked about by tbe sports for some time past, took place at a resort in the eastern section of tbe county that has become quite popular for affairs of this kind. A large number of men left this city In the evening and ever ene hundred tickets wero sold at the gate. The place where the fighting took place Is well adapted te tbe purpose The pit Is a geed ene and In fact the only drawback last night was the very peer light, which soemod te have a bad effect upon the cocks. The birds that fought nre owned by two rival sets of breeders who come from ene section of this city. Whan the fowls bad been weighed It was found that six pairs i-euld be matched, and It was agreed te have that many battles. The fighting began about ten o'clock and lasted until after ene o'clock this morning. There were several runaways In the let of chickens, but the most of the lighting was of the llveliest and best kind and the birds were highly prnlsed. Twe cocks were un un un fortuuatei tiiey hail thelr legs broken early In tbe flglits, but evon then did very well. Each stde wen three of the fights, one taking the first and the ether the lastturoe ; nene of the fights were very long. The betting was very spirited, but the most money was put upon the last thrce fights. Each oallle was fought for J5 per side In kddltlen te the outside betting. The evening's entertainment began with a side fight whleh had nothing te de what ever with the main, It was between a dark red bird weighing 4 pounds 0 ounces, from the oastern section of the city, aud a ginger from the west end that wolghed 4 pounds and 4 ounces. The Irishtown bird lest both eyes early In the fight and was knocked completely out in ten minuter. The bird did net show up as well as his opponent and secincd te be out of condi tion, The main began with a battle between a allver back of 5 pounds 11 ounces and a dark red of 5 pounds 10 ounces. The silver back had a leg breken In the first fly, but still be madoageod showing. Thounfertu nate accideat was tee much for him and be was defeated afterwards and had te be .killed. In the next fight n blue red cock of 5 pounds 4 ounces was pitted against a dark red of the same weight. This was a geed fight ler a short tlme, but tbe blue bird finally disgraced hltnseir by turning tall and trying te run from the pit. That set set Med bis show in the fight. A glnger cock of 6 pounds 1 eunce was next put against a black red ene ounce lighter. The ginger cock had a leg breken early and after trying te de all he could he ran away In less than ten minutes; bis op ponent of course get the fight. One stde wen the entire three fights, but then their luck stepped nnd they get noth ing mera afterwards. There was a great deal of wrangling before the fourth battle could be started. One side shewed Sullivan, a dark red cock, welghtng4 pounds and 13 eunces. This bird had a, splendid reputation up te Inst night, as he had nover been beaten. Ills backers claimed that the ether men were trying te run lu a different cock against him from the ene they had weighed. The one they showed was a demlnlck of 4 pounds 16 ounces and they declared it was the one that had been wolghed, Aa the conditions were te give or take two ounces the fight went en. It became evident very early that Sullivan had at last found his match and se It proved, for In a short tlme he was net euly badly whipped, but he ran. Theflgbt was a rattler, however, and plenty of geed money was lest by tbe Sullivan people. Decidedly the beat fight of the eveulng was the flfth of the main, between a dark red of 4 pounds 10, and another of 4 pounds 11. The birds went at each ether like demons and no hotter tlghtlnghas evor been seen lu n pit. They cut very hard an Jln n short tlme the bouvler of the two waa killed. In the next fight a black hackle of 4 pounds 5 eunces, a brother of the wlnner of the last fight, was put against a dark red of 4 pounds 6. After a long and rattling geed fight the dark red bad a leg and ene wing broken und oeuld net recoer. He was whipped in geed style. THE SONS OF VETERAN8.
