TEE COMMISSION AT W0EK.
Chairman Scott Thinks a Library Tlsn Will
Soon Be Selected.
.Tames B. Scott, Chairman of the Carnegie
Library Commission, said yesterday that he
is anxious to have a plan selected before the
holidays, but is not certain that it can be
done. The work is necessarily slow and in
speaking of it, Mr. Scott said; "We have
not yet taken concerted action. The pro
cess so far.it elimination by the individual
members. Of course they talk with each
other and agree on a great number that are
not worthy of further consideration.
"Wlienthe commission meets for final
action, there will be but a few designs that
will be discussed. There are 18 members of
the commission and, of course, no two will
have exactly the same opinion". Still I
think that a selection will be made the lat
ter part of the month and after the design
is completed by the architect, we will invite
competition by the contractors."

The Emerald Senate, made up of repre
sentatives from 20 brandies of the Emerald
Beneficial Society, on Monday night passed
a series of resolutions condemning the
speech of Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, and

Dr. P. J. Bowan and Attorney John F.
Miller.
NO SILENT SENATOR.
Quay Talks of Blaine, the Warmcastle
Affair, Speaker Crisp and
Florida Fishing
THE MAINE MAN WILL BE NAMED
For President Practically Without Opposi
tion Providing His Health Remains
in the Froper State.
THE COLLECTOR OFF TO WASHINGTON
A Epeedj-Adjustment of the Charges Against Him Is
Kow Confidently Predicted.
Senator M. S. Quay came to Pittsburg
from his Beaver home. He was accompa
nied by his son Dick. Contrary to his
usual custom they took rooms at the Du
qucsne. The Senator occupied Parlor B.
His son was assigned to an adjoining room.
C Li. Magee, Major Montooth and Marshal
Harran were at the hotel awaiting the Sen
ator's coming. Postmaster McKean accom
panied the Quay people from their train to
the hotel. They walked from the depot and
the Senator's face was hidden in the great
collar of his storm coat. He is burned
brown as a berry by his fishing trip to
Florida and he says he is enjoying perfect
health.
'There is good fishing in all ports of
Florida and there are plenty of oranges
there," the Senator said in answer to a
question on national politics.
"Will the selection of Crisp for Speaker
have any bearing on the nexc Democratic
candidate for the Presidency," was disked.
"I cannot see how the speakership
could have any influence on the Demo
cratic candidates," the Senator replied.
"Some of the news papers think it will,
however, but I hardly believe it. How
ever, 1 know nothing about it, save what I
see in the papers."
"Who will -the republicans name for
President?"
lllalne Can Have the Nomination.
"I don't know if Blaine wants the nom
ination, he can have it if his physical
condition will permit, he will certainly be
nominated."
" Do you know anything about Mr.
Blaine's physicial condition?"
"Only from the newspapers. You know
I left for Florida the dav after the last elec
tion, and I did'not get hack until Sunday.
I had not seen Mr. Blaine for some time
before I went South and I have not seen
him since my return."
"In your judgment. Senator, will Mr.
Blaine be nominated?"
"Well, that depends entirelv unon his
health. He will be nominated it he de
sires." "Is it true that vou are here looking after
vour own campaign for re-election to the
United States Senate?"
"2o, that is not true. I will appear"be
fore the grand jury to-morrow in my suit
against the Pittsburg FosU That is my
business here."
"Are you going to push these libel
suits?"
Llw Snits Take Up Time.
"Certainly. The successful issue of my
case against'the Beaver paper is satisfac
tory to me- My friends have advised me to
bring similar suits aiainst 100 and more
papers throughout Pennsylvania, but it
would requireall my time for at least four
years, and I cannot mortgage mv time for
that length of time."
"What do you think of Collector Warm
castle's trouble;?" ,
"I know little of it. Commissioner Mason
promised me before I come awav from
ashington that lie would hold the case
over until my return. I will go there as
soon as I can get away, and then I am hope
ful the matter can be fixed up. I am not
aware that the charges agasnsfMr. Warm
castle are a serious as has been reported in
the papers." t
"In the event of Mr. Warmcastle's re
moval who will be named to succeed him?"
"We do not contemplate the removal of
Mr. "Warmcastle. I don't think his trouble
is that serious."
The Senator was then told that Mr.
Warmcastle's friends in Pittsburg were
confirmed in their belief that the Collector
would either resign or would be removed.
"Should ex-Collector Frank Case be
named to succeed Mr. Warmcastle, would
his appointment meet with opposition in
the Senate?"
"Xot that I know of. As far as I am
concerned there would be no opposition.
But, as I said, I have no reason to think
that Sir. Warmcastle will either resign or
be removed."
TVanncaMIe OfTto Washington Again.
While Senator Quay was talking Mr.
Warmcastle 3ras speeding toward Washing
ton, to be present at the Department to-day
or to-morrow, wnen nnai action is lasen on
the charges preferred against him. The
charges have been referred by the Commis
sioner of Internal Reveune to the Secretary
of the Treasury and the .President, which
indicates that they are of a grave charac
ter. The Collector spent yesterday
in Pittsburg. He was "in his
office part of the day. The remainder he
spent hustling about among his political
and business friends. An effort was made
bv a DisrATCir reporter to have him ex
plain the cause of the alleged discrepancy
between his receipts and deposits, whether
his alleged omissions to make deposits are
technical and accidental or deliberate,
whether the Government has been ac
customed to drawing strict lines in their
money matters, and, finally, whether he
knew of the strictness of the rule requiring
daily deposits of his office receipts.
Mr. Warmcastle refneed to listen to the
question, saying: "Again I must positively
refuse to be interviewed, there can be
nothing gained by mv rushing into the
newspapers. Wait until the matter is dis
posed of at Washington."
"But.Mr. Warmcastle, tfie people here are
anxious to have a definite statement from
you of the present trouble."
"I will say nothing on the subject at this
lime. It seems to be a matter entirely nith
myself and I really do not know enough
about the charges "to talk knowingly on the
subject." Then the Collector hurried away
with United States District Attorney Lyon,
Ritbcr Eesi&natiou or Removal.
Mr. Warmcastle's most intimate friends
are now satisfied that unless he resigns he
will be removed. They are confirmed in
the belief that the revenue laws regarding
depositing the receipts of his office were
violated, but it was learned definitely last
night that the discrepancy was arranged
immediately after the Collector's attention
was called to it by a Govcrment inspector.
A rule of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment requires that the receipts of every
office of the department shall be deposited
in a bank specified by the Treasury De
partment not later than the day following
the day of their reception. This rule ex
tends to all branches of the Government
service. Inquiry developed the fact that
the rule was strictly obeyed in all the Fed
eral offices, save that of the Internal Eev
enue Collector.
Ex-Internal Revenue Collector Frank Case
said last night that he had no knowledge of
the charges against Collector Warmcastle.
He had heard, however, that they were
serious. He never had any trouble during
his administration of that office, but he said
he had always studied carefully the laws
and rules of the department, and had with
him a competent cashier.
"What was the rule governing your ad
ministration of the office in regard to re
ceipts and deposits?" was asked Mr. Case.
"My cashier deposited daily the total
eSSfelt
Ss", r
V
THE PITTSBURS-
amount of our receipts up to the lateswpos
etble time to reach the bank. Mopey re
ceived by us after,tbe hour for closing the
bank we accepted only in the way of accom
modating the taxpayers. Such receipts we
included in the deposits of the next day."
"Have you any idea as to whether Mr.
Warmcastle's alleged failure to make such
regular deposits was accidental or delib
ate?" "I don't know anything about Mr. Warm
castle's business. That is a question for the
inspectors of the department to deter
mine." "Do you stfpfcse Mr. Warmcastle knew
of the department's strict rule govern
ing deposits?"
"I know nothing of Mr. Warmcastle's
information on a construction of the law.
For myself, I knew of that rule and obeyed
A Strict Government Bale.
Ex-Postmaster Larkin said yesterday that
the rule requiring daily deposits of the re
ceipts of the postoffice was one of the
strictest of the denartmnnt. Any failure to
ainake daily deposits, he said, was by the de-
jiuiuicut uonsiaerea emDezzicmeni ana was
treated as such.
The affairs of this Government are con
ducted on strictly business principles,"
Mr. Larkin said. "The rules governing the
various departments are prepared with care
and are made for the protection of the Gov
ernment and the people alike. An array of
cool, deliberate agents or inspectors are ap
pointed to see that none of the rules meet
with violence at the hands of the office
holder or his subordinates. These agents or
inspectors drop in upon you at th6 most
unexpected time. Their report to the
department is usually confidential and their
finding is generally final. It is the bus
iness of these inspectors to pick flaws, and
they are always looking for something
wrong. When they appear in an office they
take entire charge of it. The safe and cash
boxes and the books are turned over to
them, and the officer is not allowed to add
to or take from the accounts until the in
spection is concluded. The affairs of the
office are stopped just where the in
spector enters and if 'the Qfficer has the
money in his one hand he is not allowed to
put it in the cash boxes until after all the
accounts are examined, and the absence of
the money, even though it be in sight, is
reported as a shortage, which means embez
zlement "I know nothing of the Warmcastle
troubles, but if it is true, as reported, that
he neglected to make daily deposits, he will
have some trouble."
ANOTHER HOPE DISPELLED.
Maror Gourley Reftces to Act on the
S!ral;litont City Committee He Will
Take So Active Part in the Coming Mu
nicipal Campaign.
Like a mist a the morning Straightout
Republican hopes' have been deserting the
earnest band. The latest'idea dispelled is
that Mayor Gourley would consent to act
on the City Committee for the new-born
party during the coming municipal cam
paign. At the last meeting of the Straight
out County Committee, Chairman Fleeson
was authorized to appoint city committees
in Pittsburg, Allegheny and McKees
port. The slate is already made
up and includes Mr. Gourley as
Chairman of the Pittsburg Committee.
It 3vas thought that his recent utterances
with regard to granting the city's chief
magistrate more power indicated that he
would cast his fortunes with the Straight
outs, but the reckoning was made without
the Mayor. His Honoris not afraid to give
an opinion, however, and yesterday stated
that ke would not take any active part in
political TKOTK.
"Will you support the Straightout move
ment?" he wasasked.
"I am not in politics," was the reply.
The other sad fate that has befallen the
Straightouts is the suits that have been en
tered against them for clerk hire. Chair
man Fleeson came down from Tarentum
yesterday to consult with his brethren in
politics. "Those'girls ought to be paid,"
he said, "and they will be as soon as we
get the money." -When asked when that
very desirabli article would walk
around to Straightout headquarters,
Mr. Fleeson replied that he didn't
know, but that a meeting of
the County Committee would be held soon
to devise ways and means to cancel the
debts. James O'Hara Black, he stated, had
already received $100 for work that no per
son had discovered he had done and he
didn't think it likely that a further dona
tion would be made. The Pittsburg Com
mittee, he stated, will be announced at the
County Committee meeting and prepara
tions made for a lively campaign.
Another Allegheny Candidate.
County Commissioner Weir has announced
himself as a candidate- for delegate to the
National Convention from Allegheny. Mr.
Weir's candidacy complicates matters con
siderably. William Witherow said last
night that he would insist upon running
his own campaign and would not enter into
a combination with any of the other candi
dates. Only a Political BlntT.
Patrick Foley, the well-known Demo
cratic politician, said yesterday that the
new. association of Democrats is nothing
butJfblufT. He thinks it will have no effect
on county politics and that it will soon die
out. He said it wasn't worth serious con
sideration. THE CEEDIT0E3 SATISFIES.
They Examine Into the Condition at the
Standard Flate Glass Company.
Between 50 and CO creditors ot the Stand
ard Plate Glass Company met at the com
pany's offices at Butler at 11 o'clock yester
day. They made a thorough inspection of
the plant, and afterward received reports
from Receiver Wheeler as to its condition
on August 2, when he assumed control, and
also at the beginning of the present month.
The showing was" entirely satisfactory to
the creditors, who appointed a committee
of five, consisting of W. E. Wells, E. H.
Myers and L. M. Flummer, of Pittsburg,
Mr. Hatlield, ot Philadelphia, and J. H.
Troutmen, of Butler, to devise some method
of liquidating the indebtedness of the plant,
and to report at an adjourned creditors'
meeting to be held in Pittsburg on Decem
ber 22. "
The committee began their work this aft
ernoon, and will continue it to-morrow in
Pittsburg.
Slashed Himself With a Knife.
Thomas Flisch, aged 36, attempted, to
commit suicide yesterday by slashing him
self with a butcher knife. He has been de
spondent and is subject to fits of insanity.
In one of them yesterday he went to his
home on Orphans street and drove out his
lamilv. xney called tne police, but when
the officers arrived Flisch was covered with
blood. Dr. Cathcart was summoned and
found four wounds on the man. Two were
on the neck behind the right ear and two
were on the left arm. He had severed an
artery in the arm and was bleedinc freelv.
The flojv of blood was stopped and a watch
set over the prisoner to prevent a second at
tempt on his life. His condition is not
serious. '
A Ble Pu.rch.-ue Contemplated.
President Hitchcock, Superiniendent
Sanford, Secretary Casement and Mr. Wil
cox, of the Pittsburg and Moon Run Rail
way and Coal Company held an important
conference yesterday. It is stated they
have under contemplation the purchase of
the Remington Company's coal lands. The
Pittsburg and Moon Bun Company now has
7,000 acres of coal in that district and it is
said will be able to secure as much more.
This amount of coal will give employment
to a large number of men for many years to
come.

Holmes Anderson's DischargejLeaves
Another Murder Mystcn;.
AN ECHO OF THE GUNSAULIS CASE.
A Toetic Theory of Enicide Is Advanced
and at Once Shattered.
TBAGEDT OP WEST LIBERTY BOROUGH
The release of Holmes Anderson on his
own recognizance leaves another of Alle
gheny county's great murder mysteries un
solved. The crime for which he stood
charged was the murder of John Gunsanlis
on the night of April 4. He had just bid
den his sweetheart good by, and while the
kiss was still warm on his lips he was shot
down at West Liberty Falls. It was a
lonely spot, hidden by. a bend in the road,
though scarce 100 yards from the home of
Miss Smith, who was in a few days to have
become the bride of Gunsaulis. The shoot
ing occurred at 10 o'clock. Kext morning
a party of workmen found the body lying
on the bank above the road. The bullet
had gone almost through his head, and the
tracks showed he had ran up the bank to
escape from some danger in the direction of
the falls. Across the road and above the
falls there were marks in the underbrush
showing that some' one had been concealed
there.
A Stronc Chain Forged.
Coroner McDowell and County Detective
Beltzhoover, with Alderman King and
Mark Donley, went to work, and that night
Holmes Anderson was arrested. Link by
link the strongest case of circumstantial
evidence ever produced in Allegheny coun
ty was forged about Anderson. William
Smith, the girl's father, had boasted of the
good circumstances of his future son-in-law.
It was even declared he had $1,250 in cash
at the time of the murder. It was proven
that Anderson was in the neighborhood the
evening of the tragedy. He was located
near the scene just before the shot was fired.
Within 15 minutes afterward, pale, trem
bling and wet, though it was a cloudless
night, he was at the door of a house down
the valley asking permission to warm him
self by the fire. After that he made dam
aging statements and told conflicting
stories, yet no part of the stolen booty
could be traced to him. As no more
tangible evidence could be discovered the
prisoner was released.
Some of the county officials, however, are
of the opinion that Gunsaulis committed
suicide. It was claimed that the dead lover
was a physical wreck, aud in despair shot
himself. The claim was that he had no
money, tore his own clothes, threw his
watch" into the pool below the foils and then
fired the shot Coroner McDowell scouts
this idea, and insists that it was a case of
murder. He says Gunsaulis was physically
perfect, and in an interview yesterday he
said:
An Unsolved Mystery.
"True, it has never been proven that Gun
saulishad a large amount of money, but ithas
never been disproven. The position of the
wound was such that it could not have been
self inflicted. Even if it was there would
have been powder marks and there were
not. The wound was inflicted while the
man was running away. Death from
such a wound was instantaneous and he
never could have run up the hill and placed
the revolver in his pocket after firing. To
my mind the mystery is as deep as ever. I
have tried to find whether Gunsaulis had a
rival, but have been unable to discover any
thing. "v
THE FI0TJE SACK T2ADE DULL.
The BTannfactnrers Meet, bat no Changes In
Trices Were Made.
The Flour Sack Manufacturers' Associa
tion met at the Monongahela House yester
day. It is composed of 13 makers, who con
trol the bulk of the trade in the United
States. Ex-Congressman George W.
Crouse, of Akron, was present After the
meeting Mr. Crouse said the association
was nothing more than an agreement be
tween the manufacturers to maintain prices.
He says they haven't a good grip on the
trade, as any man could start a printing
shop and turn out paper sacks. The trade
is remarkably dull at present The ten
dency of prices has been downward for the
last three years, and in that time they have
not been advanced. No changes were made
yesterday, but the condition of the market
was discussed.
Among those present were James Arkell,
father of W. J. Arkell, one of the owners
of Judye; Edward Godfrey, of Godfrey &
Clark; U". W. Taylor, Alfred and George
W. Adams, of Cleveland; A. B. Mudgett,
Middletown; A. K. Chatfield and J. R.
Raymond, Cincinnati; E. L. Embrel, New
York; James Monoghan, Westchester, and
G. C. Sherman, Wstertown.
Mr. Crouse served in Congress with
Speaker Crisp. He says it was the best
thing for the country to have him elected,
bnt it would have been better for the Re
publican party if Mills had been the man.
Mr. Crouse thinks that Sherman will be re
elected in Ohio. In his section of the State
they are all for the Senator.
QEBWIG AND BB0WB AT WAS.
Mayor Wyman Ask Permission to Item it
a Fiflj Dollar Fine.
Allegheny Finance Committee opened
last night with a scrap between Controller
Brown and Councilman Gerwig over some
of the money to be paid out The 'report
showed there was still a ballancc due the
appropriations of $103,000, and this, with
other debts to be met, would leave a bal
ance of about $50,000 in the treasury on
January 1. Mr. Gerwig commented on
some of the moneys to be paid out,
and stated that he never knew
of them before. Controller Brown retorted
that they were in his monthly riports to
Councils. Mr. Gerwig irew angry and said
the Controller had no right to take excep
tions to anything said by members of the
committee that weie seeking for knowledge,
and the Controller replied that his "report
was before the members every month, and
it was their fault if they did not see things.
Mr. Gerwig created another sensation by
asking for a resolution to remit a $50 fine
imposed in a drunk and disorderly case by
Mayor Wyman, who thought the man was
an old offender. Mr.Gerwigsaid the Mayor,
in view of recent events,, was alraid to're
mit the fine. Mr. Wertheimer "decided a
resolution would have to be presented in
Councils.
Library nail Association Fleets Officers.
The annual election for officers of the
Pittsburg Library Association held last

A WIDESPREAD SCHZK5
To Dispose or Clothlnc Stolen Recently jit
St. Lotus.
Word was received from Toledo last night
that the detectives there have made an ar
rest which they say unearths a gang of rob
bers doing business all over the country.
Louis Hansen is the man and he is charged
with suspicion. For two days detectives
noticed him button-holing farmfcrs who
come into market and patrons at the cheap
hotels. His scheme was to talk about the
weather awhile and finally lead the fanner
to some secluded place and sell him a 523
overcoat for $10. The detectives caught
him making 23 Bnch sales before they found
out where his headquarters were. They
were in the back room of a cheap hotel. Six
huge trunks were filled with overcoats,
gloves and cutlery. The price and size tags
had been torn off. Express receipts in his
pockets showed that eight trunks had been
sent from St. Louis to Mexico, Mo , and
three from St. Louis to Pittsburg.
The detectives sny that Hanson Is one of
a gang whose headquarters are at St. Louis.
Large quantities of clothing have recently
been stolen 'there, and the police believe
agencies have been established all overvthe
country to dispose of the booty, as Hansen
was doing. Hansen will say but little more
than that he was acting as an agent. The
Pittsburg trunks were consigned to Andrew
Anderson, whom Hansen declares to be one
of the St Louis "managers." He says there
are agents similar to himself at Columbus,
Wheeling, Youngstown, Zanesville and
other cities. He will be held pending fur
ther investigation.
AFTEE LAW BEEAKEBS.
Fourteen of Pittsburg's SabDatb. Merchants
to Be Arrested.
The LaTV and Order Society has not gone
to the destruction that some people pre
dicted when Captain Wishart left the town'
Under the guidance of Detective McClure
it promises to continue the work of saying
the country. To-day, as a faint indication
of the power of the law, information will be
made against 14 business people, ot various
stages of wealth, who will be charged with
haying violated the laws of the Common
wealth, which prescribes the manner in
which the Sabbath day shall be observed.
Mr. "McClnre's detectives have the informa
tion at hand which, they claim, will con
vict the accused 14, and yesterday they pre
pared the charges at Law and Order head
quarters. Owing to the large number ot
cases to be brought it was found impossible
to make the information before to-day.
Another move which the Law and Order
people are said to have in mind is a renewal
of the war against speak-casies. It was be
lieved by many speak-easy proprietors that
the crusade would be commenced yesterday,
on account of it being election day. and a
harvest for illegal liquor dealers. As a con
sequence of the scare, many people went
dry, but it has proved to have been unnec
essary. When asked yesterday what he was
doins, Mr. McCline said:
"Nothing. The object of the Law and
Order Society is to prevent Sunday viola
tions. I am not supposed to run down
speak-easies during the week, and unless
employed by outside parties will not do so.
I am running a detective agency, with Law
and Order business as a part of the work."
WILL PUSH THE CASE.
The Suit or Bnlford Against Postmaster
GUleland to Come Up Soon.
The way of the Federal office holder con
tinues to be darkened with troubles. The
most recent difficulty presents itself to Post
master Gilleland, of Allegheny. It is the
suit for $10,000 damages which was entered
some time ago by Simeon Bui ford, Jr., a
discharged letter carrier, who claims he was
maliciously Blandered. It was supposed
that the suit had been dropped, but it is
now stated that it simply took a vacation.
Bnlford'ss. claim is that his place was
wanted bv ft Republican, and that Post
master GillclanJ and Inspector Dickson
conspired together to effect a removal. The
plan he alleges that was followed was to
drop an open letter in a box where he made
collections and afterward discharge him on
suspicion. He brought suits against both
Mr. Gilleland and Mr. Dickson over three
months ago, and since then nothing has been
heard of them. It is now stated that the
Sheriff made a mistake and that a new writ
will have to be served on Mr. Dickson.
This, it is promised, will be done in a few
days. The cases will come before the
Court of Common Pleas No. 3, and as there
is little business ahead, there will be little
delay. The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington is said to be involved and sensational
developments are developed.
UBS. "WALKER IS CHASING HIM.
She Is Confident the Man Who Married
Marie Gosslin J Her Husband.
An excited lady with a copy of The Dis
patch under her arm walked into the St
James Hotel yesterday afternoon and said
to -Frank Newell, the clerk, "Don't you
know me?" After looking at her face for a
moment Mr. Newell recognized her as Mrs.
Walker, the Mansfield widow, who had
been married and deserted by her husband
last October at the hotel. She had read
about the experience of Marie Gosslin at
Niagara Falls, and from the description of
the man she jras convinced that he was the
one to whom she had been married. Mr.
Newell thought he had registered as J. M.
Ingle, El Paso, but this is n mistake. His
name as it appears on the SO James regis
ter is Thomas Benton, Idaho.. Mr. Ingle is
a well-known Texas ranchman, and the
blunder does him a great injustice.
Mrs. Walker denounced Benton, or Tay
lor, which is the last name he adopted, and
she had a long talk with Detective Cuulson
about the case. Mrs. Walker states that
threedays after Benton married her, he was
wedded to a Miss Horner, ol Ueaver Falls.
Miss Horner is said to be the daughter of
wealthy parents, and when he found
he couldn't get money from her he
skipped out instanter. The widow is deter
mined to bring him to justice. The fellow
changes his name wherever he goes, and
proceeds at once to make love to some
woman who has a little money.

THE CHA1E OP SCIE.NCE IS A FAT ONE
Teachers' salaries went np last night at
the meeting of the Central Board of Educa
tion. On the schedule of increase to go
into effect September 1, 1S92, the first
matter attempted was increasing the salaries
of principals in schools having 6 to 14
teachera to $1,500. There was only slight
opposition from Messrs. Phelps and Mc
Elroy, but the increase was given.
Mr. Yeagel next moved that the schedule
for writing and drawing teachers be stricken
out, and tbey be paid the same as primary
teachers. His motion was lost by 14 yeas
to 15 nays. The schedule recommended for
these teachers was, for first year, $450; one
to three years, $500; over three years, $550.
On motion the schedule was added to by
making for over four years for writing and
drawing teachers, $600 per year.
The schedule for the ward schools was"
then adopted as a whole, Messrs. Philips
and McCandless voting against it.
liaised the Chair of Sciences.
Mr. Phelps wanted to increase the salary
of the Chair of Sciences from $1,000 to
$1,500. Wainwright made a plea for $1,400,
and Messrs. McCandless and Keller thought
one salary could not be raised without
bringing the others up. Dr. McCandless
said he had been instructed to vote against
any raises. The motion to increase to
$1,400 was adopted.
The teacher of drawing at the Normal
School was next increased from $800 to
$900. The balance of the salaries recom
mended by the committee were approved
and the report adopted as a whole.
Next came the resolution recommended
by the Committee on Teachers and Salaries,
that all teachers who are grsduates of the
Pittsburg High School and Normol School
and State Normal School be credited with
one year's experience.
Mr. Phelps moved to strike out the State
Normal School clause and confine 'the
benefit to the graduates of the Pittsburg
High and Normal Schools. Messrs. Mc
Kain, Yeagel and Jones oppposed the
resolution as an unjust discrimination.
State Normal Schools Barred.
Mr. Gray offered an amendment to pro
vide that the resolution should not go into
effect until next September and apply only
to new teachers elected thereafter who were
graduates of the Pittsburg High and Nor
mal schools and would not affect teachers
now employed.
The amendment was carried by 13 ayes to
12 nays, and the salary question was con
cluded. The report'of th'e Committee'on Finance
for the month of November showed the ex
penditures to have been $41,748 65.
City Superintendent Luckey's report for
November was received, showing an enroll
ment of 28,569 pupils, with an average at
tendance of 2.,043. The report of the Princi
pal of the High School showed an enroll
ment of SSI, with an average attendance of
834.
The report of the High School Committee
was received, recommending that the in
surance on the High School be fixed at $50,

Ye are selling more Dress Goods
and Silks this season than ever-before.
-Why?
Because we offer larger and choicer
assortments than ever before.

anywhere else.
