nWF? y,W THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY, -JANUARY 23, 1889. rwr'rv?. AS AWFUL TANGLE For Justice to Unravel in the Case of a Contracting Official. C0BA0P0LIS TO THE FRONT AGAIN "With a Test Case as to Whether a School Director May Dicker. WILL HIS ALLEGED LIABILITY. PAN OUT Judge Gripp will to-day at least he has promised give his opinion on a case that is of interest to all officials who have an am bition to serve in public office and at the same time make money by contracting. The title ot the suit is Porter & Kelty versus the Board of School Directors of the borough of Coraopolis, and the affair has become in volved in a considerable snarl, and the re sult of the suit may possibly be the stepping stone to nnother. The history of the case is this: The borough of Coranpolis has been fol lowing the command given in the 28th verse of the first chapter of Genesis, and in con sequence it has been found necessary to eu- ; large its school facilities twice in the past four years. The last enlargement was made last summer, when a new building was added. The School Board let the contract to a man named Caler. Caler sub-let the contract for the stone and brickwork to Johnston & "Whalen. Johnston & Whalen let the contract lor layine the brick to Porter & Kelty, the plaintiffs in this case. J. S. Cook, Esa., represented the plaintiffs, and C. E. Cornelius, Esq., the defendant. LIKE A DOG'S TAIL. Soon after the work began people began to wag their heads, and it was whispered, not that the directors had founi "a nigger in the woodpile," but that they had found a director among the contractors who were building their new house. Complications were predicted, and they finally were real ized, when the suit was entered. Porter & Kelty, it is alleged, failed to get their pay from Johnston & "Vhalen, and when they began to spear around they found that John ston was a member of the board of directors, and the plaintiffs take the cround that, when dealing with Johnston, they were dealing with the board. Porter said in his testimony that Johnston did not in the deal allow him (Porter) to know that he (John ston) was a sub-contractor, but left the im pression that the board was a party to the contract. The only mistake that the board commit ted seems to consist in the fact that it had inadvertently let the contract before the money to pay for the work had been se cured. On a former occasion school BONDS HAD BEES' DISSOLVED, and after last year's contract had been made it was discovered that the limit of school in debtedness had been about reached, unless the taxpayers saw fit to allow the needed en largement. So a special election was held, and, ere the matter had been passed upon, the board informed Porter that he had bet ter not co on with his work until the money was granted, as there was a possibility the election might fail. The plaintiff claims this to have been a virtual acknowledgement of his claim., and, as he cannot get it from Johnston, he pro poses to make all the members come up to the rack. Here is the section of the school la which is now being fired at S. B. John ston's head. It is section 17 of the act of May 11, 1862, P. L., page 475: That it shall not be lawful for an v director nr .president of any school board In this Common wealth to be interested in the furnishing of books or any otner supplies for said school. A SDBURBAX UIPEOVEILEXT. Ronp Street Bridge to be Erected by tbe Pennsylvania Railroad. At a meeting of the Committee on Public "Works yesterday afternoon an ordinance compelling owners of abutting property on streets on which public sewers have been constructed to make connection with the same, was referred to a committee con sisting of Messrs. Wightman, Ford and McCurry. A communication was also received from Chief Bigelow in reference to the resolution directing him to notify the Pennsylvania Bailroad to erect a bridge at Eoup street. Chiet Bigelow recommended that Councils amend the ordinance recently passed for the grading, paving and curbing of Eoup street so as to include that portion of the Etnt over which the railroad passes.

B5 Pifth. artnuc wren FAIK FANNY WAS ILL, And So a Great Gathering of People at the Opera Honio Hnd to bo Turned Away la Disappointment. An angry shade of disappointment swept over the countenances of theatergoers last evening when they came to the Grand Opera House entrance to find an announcement placarded that Miss Fanny Davenport was ill and could not appear. Some philosoph ically accepted as a plaster for their wound, the further announcement that tiokets would be exchanged for any other night of the week that suited holders convenience. Mr. "Wilt stated that Miss Davenport had not been feeling altogether well, and he feared that she had taken cold on Mon day night, as she sat in a draft for some time, the draft being caused by the carpen ter's door being left open. He said he had it shut as soon as he discovered it, but ap parently too late, but expressed the opinion that she would be on the boards to-night. At the Anderson Hotel Mr. Melbourne McDowell, of the Davenport company, stated that Miss Davenport was too severely indisposed to be seen, and that the doctor had given orders that she be kept quiet, or she might be sick for some time. Mr. Mc Dowell said that Miss Davenport had been overworked of late, and had reached a point where fatigue, combined with cold, had made it necessary to economize her strength. WHAT DID ME. AVERT MEAN? Rev. -G. W. Jenkins Explains Ills Views of a Provision of That Will. Eev. G. "W. Jenkins, of the Merrill M. E. Chapel, called at this office yesterday to say that he had not meant any reflection upon "his opponents in the contest for what he believed his church people entitled to out of the proceeds of the Charles Avery estate. He had simply desired that nobody should think he was neglecting the interests of his charge. Candidly, after reading the will, he did not believe the late benefactor, Mr. Avery, meant any one church organization when he left a bequest "to the African M. E. Churches" of the two cities. That term, he thought, meant all M. E. Churches com posed of African members. Moreover, the beqnest specified that it was to aid the colored church, and surely that could not mean one wing of such churches. THE MEMBERSHIP IKCSEASING.
