Mr. McCUaiMyte Amendment te a Bae I at tea Offered by Mr. Brtatea la Adopted PetaU of Dlaeaaalea. " A ipectat meetlBg of the Lancaster etiy school beard Was held en Friday evening, with Utt following mmbm present! Messrs. Belenlm, Breaeman,' Breaay, Brlnten, Cochran, Grieat, Judith, Johnsoa, Llehty, Marshall, MoOerosey, MeDeaell, McEUlgett, MeKUllps, MoMallen, Pentx, Ratbfen, Raab, Rellly, Reynold, Reland, Sekreyer, Shirk, Warfel, White, Wicker bam, Wiaewar, Wehlsen, Wolf and Dr. MeCernilck, president. The call for the meeting. (timed bvMeasra. - Grlest, Marshall, Lippold, Rellly and Brlnten, was read. The object of the meet, tag- waa stated te be the follewing: Bttelred, That the committee en build ings and grounds be instructed te have . plans and specifications prepared for two twelve room school buildings, te be erected en Seuth bake street and Seuth Mulberry ireei, ana report me piass ana specifica tions and iUe cut luifite of the oet of build ing te the beard at the next regular meet ing. . Mr. McCemsey said this call has been a surprise te him. Ue had no Idea such a move was contemplated. Before action en this important question waa taken he would like te hear the views of these press ing the resolution. There should be strong reasons given why these houses should be built at once. The people will want te knew whether the reasons for the Imme diate building are pressing. Te bring the matter before the beard Mr. Brinten offered the resolution noted above as tbe rill for the meeting. Mr. McCemsey offered as an amendment that it is deemed Inexpedient te build the present year. uln support of the amendment he said tee beard has just completed a building (and te pay for which a lean has been au thorized. In the erection of tbe Chestnut street building a new system of heating and ven tilation was adopted, and $3,0M was spent en it. I there any member that can say that this system of ventilation and heating is a success T It has net been learned whether It will prove satisfactory and time shouhLbe taken te learn all cbeut the sys teui.ift' -Mr Marshall asked whether the system spektm of was net adopted en the recom recem nendatta of Mr. MoCemsoy, after an ox ex ox amlqatleiV'vhlmof its workings In the PltUWg5$Dls. MtCumsy said that waa true, but the fewbarg schools were heated with natural gas," which mede a material differ ence. This school beard has never built a new school building unless there was absolute . pressing necessity and there was none such. It was net policy te proceed with undue haste. There are accommodations for 700 pupils en Seuth Duke street, while there are but 520 pupils enrolled. On Seuth Mulberry street there are only 800 pupils enrolled. While he favored pro pre vlHltig te some extent for the future he was opposed te building for future genera tions. One room en Seuth Mulberry street that basTaccommedatlons for 200 pupils has only 70, en the roll. With en expenditure of $3,000 en the Mulberry and Duke street schools the erection of new houses en these sites could be deferred for ten years. These buildings will each cost $30,000, and that means an Increased tax rale. Mr. Cochran said he dotdred te second the amendment of Mr. McCemsey. The erection of these buildings means an ex penditure of from $50,000 te $00,000. He did net see his way clear te favor the reso lution offered, but by the latter part of the year he thought steps could be taken look ing te (he erection of a new building. Since 1879 this beard has expended for buildings and furniture $130,000, and that was doing a great deal in ten years. In a year or two the Mulberry street buildings may give way te a new structure The present tax rate Is three and 'a hnlf mills, and the ftnance commlttee will make an effort te keep it at that. In these depressed times it was net policy te raise tbe tax rate. Mr. Brlriten said the adoption of the resolution he offered was net making haste tee rapidly. While the beard has dens well in tbe past as te new buildings, why net contiaue. As te the pressing neces sity, he could net understand tbe assertion mode that tbeie was no such. In his visit te the Mulberry street school he found the ceilings, floors, windows and walls in bad condition, and allthese buildings were badly ventilated. He has heard complaints 7 from patrons, teachers and pupils about the bed condition of these schools. The very point the chairman of the superin tending committee mede about the small attendance Is an argument in favor of new schools. People will net Bend their chil dren te these Bcboels If they can avoid It. As te the financial condition of the beard he desired te say a word. In 1880, before tbe erection of any new buildings but tbe high school, the ssHets were $150, 017.70; liabilities, $3,030; ossets ever liabili ties, $147,717.70. In 1889, with eight new schools erected, the assets were $240,488.00; liabilities, $78, 000 ; assets ever liabilities, $1(58,488.0!). With the new Chestnut street building completed the assets are $271,488.09; lia bilities, $98,000,000 ; assets ever liabilities, $173,488.00. With two new buildings erected at a cost of $80,000 the figures would be: Assets, 331,488.09; liabilities, $158,000,000; assets ever liabilities, $173,488.09. Tbe erection of these buildings are an Imperious necessity and the meney ex pended Is net money thrown an ay. If it is desirous te wait for improvements In heating and ventilation, school houses will i.ever be built, because every year there are improvements. Tbe adoption of this resolution does net bind the beard te build. It directs tbe property committee te get plsus and speci fications. He understood tbe tax :ate would be four mills and with this addi tional half mill tax the revenue of the beard would be increased $0,000 or $7,000. This is the meeting at which action should be taken. A halt new means the less of a year's time. Mr. Cochran said no one disputed the figures presented by Mr. liriuten. The only question before the beard was whether an additional tax should be im posed, which would be made necessary by the building. Tbe policy of tbe beard since ba became a member was the con servative one of removing tbe old buildings gradually and iu time tbe Mulberry and Duke street buildings would be reached. Mr, Wolf did net bce why there was te much haste as te these two buildings, and Why the beard cannot wait another jear before going en with the work. Ir. Oriest held that the resolution doe tot commit the beard te building these school beuses. He could net see any barm in the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Jehnsen said it was absurd te talk of having plans and specification prepared in tbe time noted in the resolution, and It looked te him as if an effort was being it te force the beard into building these M Oaas, MM tUt IMWfeOta 107. - - EIGHT PAGES; matter waa arranged before the meeting. Mr. Oriest said If k was cut aad dried, a had been, charged by the preceding epeaker,hekeew nothing abort . The ebBlraesaef the flaaace eetnmlttee said It waa probable, thai the beard oealdgoon with tha baUdlng by the aad of the year. IfL that waa se there waa nothing lest in havlag the plana prepared.

He under stood tha meeting te ba ealled te get the eesse of the members te the erection of these aehoel houses. It waa a abama that this beard had ea two of its principal thor-eughau-es aueh dingy unpregreasiv look ing aehoel buildings, and aa It has been stated that the building ean be erected seat year, why net go ea with them new. New buildings wen a necessity. H would net like a child of his te attend any of them In their present condition. A vote was called en Mr. McCemsey'a amendment, that it is Inexpedient te build this year, and it was adopted by the follow ing vete: Messrs.

An Euglne and Several Cam Thrown Frem tbe Track. There was an ugly wreck en tha long siding at Safe Harber, which connect the rolling mill and the Pennsylvania railroad, en Friday afternoon. While an engine was up at the rolling mill doing aeme work, a stone about the alto of a barrel rolled down tbe blghlll just below Swel ga'rt's hotel and landed en the aid ing track. When the f engine waa en the way down te the main track it ran into the stone. On account of the curve In 'the siding near that plaee Michael Wayne, engineer, did net see tbe stone until he waa almost en top of It. It was then tee late te de anything, but te try and aave his life. He reversed the engine and he and his fire man jumped off. When It struck the stone the engine was thrown from the track and very badly breken. It ran Inte a pile of beard,or it might have gene Inte the river. Several cars that were attached te the loco motive were considerably damaged. The stone Is supposed te nave been loosened by the thawing of the ground. SAYS HE WAS FOnCBD TO MABItY.

There was quite a lively time at the evening session of the Heuse en Friday night. Usually, the Friday night bearings are very sllmly attended and the debates uninteresting, but that evening was an ex ception, and the occasion was enlivened by n lively tilt between Mr. Cooper, of In diana, and Messrs. Tarsney and Stene, of Missouri. The question was raised ever a bill which President Cleveland had vetoed granting a pension of $40 a month te Francis Denning, of -Michigan, en the ground of blindness. Mr. Coepor advocated the passage of the bill, and, referring te Presideut Cleveland's veto, said that If he (Cleveland) bad steed upon his economical principles, and net endeavored te hunt up a blind man whom he could jump upon with both feet, he might ba e been presldent te-day. - Mr. Stene said his state had furnished mere soldiers than Indiana, and had mere pensioners. Mr. Cooper disputed tbe statement, and Mr. Tarsney sarcastically regretted that x-roeiueni neveiana naa net naa tee coun sel and advice of the gentleman from In diana te guide him and save him from error. Ne man hed mere sympathy than he for these groping in darkness, but be was net warranted in putting his hand into tbe public treasury te show that sympathy.

LANCASTER, PA., SATURDAY, EMBEZZLED OVER $10,000. f. a. iimfflmrm iftwsiT nn IIMILTN IT A IITICTIfl. He Walvea a Ueartec aad la Committed la Deatalt of 10,000 Bait for Trial at the April Term of Ceart. Frank A. Dlflfendsrffer, whose arrest waa aeted la tha iMTBtuaaNCRa en Friday, waa brought from Brooklyn, If. Y., en the evening train and taken te tha offlee of Alderman Barr by Detective E, J. Dough arty, of PinkertWe force. Ha waived a hearing and in default of $10,000 ball was committed for trial at the April term of the quarter aeaaiens court. Tbe prosecution of Dlffenderffer Is the cul mination of a celebrated rase which haa been in the Lancaster courts for year. The defendant 1 a well known man, and has been prominent in all the sporting events of this city for the past fifteen years. A gentleman familiar with tbe history of tbe Dlffenderffer trust estate, who was aeen te-day. had this te aay About it: About 1878 Dr. William Dlffenderffer died. Shortly before bla death he disposed of his estate, worth about 900,000. Te hla son Frank At, be gave hla share, one-half of the estate absolutely. The ether half be gave te bla mother, but obliged ber te make a will in bla presonce bequeathing it te hla remaining son, J. Ixrae Dlffenderffer, in trust. This estate consisted of two tracts or land, and $8,000 in bends, and the trustees named in the will were Frank R. Dlffonderffor, Mrs. Catharine Oroff and Frank A.Dlffenderffer. Mrs. DIffonderffer survived nor son, the doctor, several years, and shortly befere ber death, when she was 80 years old, Frank A. Dlffenderffer induced her te de stroy the will made In the presence of ber son and Instead execute a deed of trust, making him the sole trustee of J. Lene Dlffenderffer'a estate, and by virtue of thla deed of trust all of J. Lene Dlffcnderffer'a estate passed into the control of Frank A. Dlffenderffer. After be received this estate the trustee lived in great style, and was lavish In the expenditure of money. Seme years age J. Lene was Informed by friends that his es tate was being wasted by his brother, but his confidence in his brother's integrity could net be shaken. A. O, Sutten, a relative, who had been told of Frank A.' fast living, went Inte court with a petition, and asked the court te interfere. The court, in the opinion filed, said that much an they would Uke te interfere, it could net be done, as Mr. Sut Sut eon was net In interested party. Friends of J. Lene Dlffenderffer then in duced creditors te petition court that the estate was being wasted, but the court could take no action, as they bad no legal standing. Shortly after this Frank A. Dlffenderffer borrowed $2,000 and gave a mortgage en the Dlffenderffer property en North Queen street, in which J. Lene Dlffenderffer had a third interest. The money secured by thla mortgage was used partly by Frank A. Dlffenderffer te pay his personal debts, and when J. Lene heard of thla transaction he went into court with a petition asking for an accounting by bis trustee. The court directed a citation te be Issued, but It had te be served en Frank A. Dlffen derffer personally. lie left the city te avoid service and a Plnkerten detective had te be employed, and after several days search the trustee was located in Philadel phia and the citation served upon him. Dlffenderffer filed an account and not withstanding the handseme estate he bad received his account showed that J. Lene Dlffenderffer was indebted te him $474.60. This account also showed that the trustoe had in his possession $8,000 In stocks and bends. He was asked te produce them and premised te de se. Instead of appearing at the next session of the audit he ab sconded. He came buck in a week or two and said he had pledged them te a party in the controller's offlce in Philadelphia, but no such party as bn named had ever been employed In the controller's office. His testimony also showed that be kept no aoceuut of the trust moneys and he tailed te show hew he had expended the money he claimed te have upent as trustee. The auditor after making liberal allow ance for all payments he claimed sur charged him $10,005.00, which report was confirmed absolutely by the court and an order was made that he pay evor te his successor, the Lancaster Trust company, the above amount and also band evor the titles te the real estate of J. Lene Dlffen derffer, which he held as trustee. Tbe trustee fulled te comply with an or der of the court and au attachment was Is sued. It was placed In the hands of the sheriff for execution. A number of con stables, a citizen and a Plnkerten detect Ive were deputized te execute this precess, but Dlffenderffer was tee smart for the whole batch. Fer eight weeks his resldence in this city was watched, but be managed te elude these officers by tbe aid of a neighbor, through whose heuse lie passed when he escaped from the city and state and beyond the jurisdiction of tbe court's attachment.
