School Controllers Board of School Ci stated meeting of the Boaid of was held yesterday afternoon. A communication was received from the Fourth section, stating that the coal furnished to the sec tion was examined, and it was found that that fur nished to the Ringgold school was twelve tons short, and the Ronaldson school, eleven tons short* Re ferred to the Committee on Supplies. One from the Eleventh section, informing the Board of the appointment of Mary J. Sell as teacher in Primary No. 5. One from the Twelfth section, asking permission to hold but one session daily in the Robert Taux colored school. Referred. One from tbe Twentieth section, asking for further ichool accommodations to the Rutledge school house. A petition was read from principals of unclassified schoolß, asking for aninoreaseof salaries. They find fault that female principals should receive $9OO, when they receive but $6OO, which they state to be an unfair discrimination. Referred to the Com* mittee on Estimates. One from the Twenty' second section, appointing Miss Lettie Livzey as principal of the Williams Un classified School. ~.. Fromthe Twenty, fourth section, asking ror an ap propriation of $6,000 for the erection ofa new school house on Lancaster avenue, between Westminster ■ avenue and Fortieth street. Referred. A communication was received from Miller & Bros. , contractors for furnishing coal to the Fourth .district, explaining their reasons for not furnishing the full amount of coal according to their contract. They had agreed to lurnlßh- Lehigh coal at $7.30 per ton. At that time they were buying Lehigh coal themselves at $4.25 at the mines, and could not eon- - tract with the miners for more than a month’s sup ply ahead. Coal has recently advanced so greatly that - they cannot lumish coal at the price at which they contracted, and therefore ask either for an advance or an annulling of the contract. They state their ability to furnish the.balance of the coal at $9.50 per ton for Schuylkill, and $lO 50 per ton for Lehigh coal. Mr. Green moved that the communication be re ferred to the Committee on Supplies, with instruc tiona to report the faots of the case. Agreed to. The Committee on Accounts reported bills amount ing to $127,235 39, and for increase $66,377.61, which were ordered to be paid, The Committee on Supplies submitted a report in reference to furnishing coal to the achool geotlons, and the frauds incident thereto. Messrs. Wright and Eyre are stated to have done their duty, and furnished the full quota of ooal. Mr. Stiiart could not understand how the com mittee could report that there was no deficiency in the quantity of coal furnished. He said that in his dlstnot the coal was not weighed. Mi. Fagsn could say, with respect to the Fourth section, that,the coal was only weighed in one or two iußtanees, and that a deficiency of 23 tons had already been discovered. In reply to a charge of Mr. Fitzgerald, that in many cases cellar-doors were left open, and windows not properly closed, Mr. Fagan, said that the Ringgold sonool was carefully guarded, and it was impossible for any theft to be committed through any imperfections in the building. Dr. Nebinger said he visited'the Ringgold school, and found it so illy protected that coal could be re', moved from the cellar without detection. Mr. Kline moved that the report be recommitted, Which was agreed to. The Committee on 6flty Property reported a reso lution, requesting Councils to permit the expendi ture of $250 for furniture to the Francisville Pri mary achool. Agreed to. The Committee on Property reported that part of the appropriation for repairs in the Fifteen section was expended by Mr. George^ 1 . Gordon, president of the school section, without the authority of the Board, he alleging that the expenditures were ne cessaryto the health of the achool ohildren. Mr. Fletcher said that an example ought to be made of this case. It was contrary to law for any expenditure to be made without authority. No better example could be made of any section than the Fifteenth, as that one had always been asking favors, and violating the laws of the Board or 'Control. ■■■_*, A spirited debate ensued In which the Fifteenth school section came in for a large share of censure. Mr. Fitzgerald defended Mr. Gordon, bat could not'excuse his action in this case. A resolution to pay the bills contracted by Mr. Gordon without authority was not agreed to—4 yeas, 21 yeas. The Committee on Grammar, Secondary, and Pri mary Schools submitted a report, with a resolution, authorizing a six-division grammar school in the 'Washington School building, Fifth, below Wash ington. Also, confirming the action of the Nine teenth section, creating a new division in Primary School No. S. A protest was read from the directors of the Third section, against the erection of a new school house* as above stated. A similar protest was read from the Eighteenth section. Mr. Stuaet said that the erection of a new school in the Second section would either be a failure, or would materially Injure the aohools of the neighbor ing sections. /; Mr. Stuart, stated that the place where it was pro posed to open this grammar school was on the Une of a steam railroad, and-directly opposite a Urge steam-boiler faotory, which of eates a continual noise and disturbance, ana he did not think that this was , the place to gather together such a large number of children; and besides, the First and Third sections had ample accommodations for all the children that may be sent them. Mr. Nebinger asked that the report of the Com mittee on Property* to whom waa referred the sub ject of thebulldlng of new school houses, should be read. , This Board reports in favor of an appropria tion of Sic,ooo for the ereotion of a first-class gram rcar school, on the Wharton lot, on Fifth street, be -12 RTe nue, Mr. Nebinger then said iSSF* sf— were Iq- favor of the erection of thu school, and the directors, in furtherance of that SjAn’lf * oho “ 1 ma V be established.' No reason had been shown, by the gentlemen opposing, this measure, why this school should not be erected. Upon taking the yeas and nays, the yeas were 12 and nays 12, and the resolution was not adopted. The second section of the report was adopted * Mr. Shippen moved that City Oouuiils be re quested to appropriate such an amount of money as wilt give to eaoh teacher the sum of sioo over the amount given to them in the appropriation for the year 1883, provided that such resolution shall not apply to those teachers who receive salaries of more than $360, and that such resolution bo referred to the Committee on Estimates, to ascertain the amount of money required for this purpose, and that suoh committee have power to act. Mr. Nebinger presented, by leave of Mr. Shippen, who withdrew the above resolution for that pur pose, a petition from the assistant teachers who re ceive salaries of less than $350, asking for an in crease of salary proportional with that given to principals. The motion of Mr. Shippen was unanimously adopted. Mr. Vaughan offered a resolution that Councils be requested to appropriate such an amount of money as will inorease the salaries of all teaohers receiving more than $360 twenty-five per cent, ex cept the teachers of High and Normal Schools. Mr. Marohment, pending Mr. Vaughan’s motion, moved that the resolution in reference to the loca tion of a six-division grammar school in the Second section be reconsidered. Adopted. Oh the original motion the yeas were 13, nays 12: and the resolution was adopted. On taking the yeas and nays on Mr. Vaughan’s motion, the yeas were 16, nays 9, Adopted. Mr. Kline moved that any action by this Board to relieve any ooal contractor of the First school dis trict for 1862 be inexpedient, and that no additional aum be asked of Counoils for that purpose, Pending this resolution the Board adjourned.

This was an action to test the right of plaintiff to a fund of $550, paid into court by the Pennsylvania Life In surance Company, Ac. The facts of the case seem to be these: In 1356 Mary Mowry brought suit against plaintiff for damages. The suit was re ferred to arbitrators, who awarded against the plaintiff in this case (Gault), $5OO damages. He appealed from the award, and while the appeal.was pending, he in order to sell some property, a clear title to which he could not make, as the award was a lien upon it, agreed to deposit $6OO with the Penn sylvania Company in trust, to pay any amount that might be finally recovered in the Mowry suit. At the time the Mowry suit was brought up, the pre sent defendant, John C. Nippes, was oounsel for Mrs. Mowry, but afterwards retired from the csss, and Geo. A. Coffey became oounseL In 1860 Gault and Mrs. Mowry settled their case by his paying her about $5O, and a writing was filed to mark the case “ discontinued ” of record, whioh was done by the prothonotary. Gault then gave notice to the Pennsylvania Company of the settle mont of the suit, and demanded the $550. Mr. Nippes had previously given notice to the company that he had a claim on the fund, and denied that Mr. Gault had any right to it. The company then re fused to pay the money to Gault. Upon this Gault brought suit against the company, which then ap plied to court for an interpleader between Gault and Nippes, and thereupon paid the money into court. The case having been tried yesterday, the court dlrectedthe jury to find a verdict for plaintiff. B. "Woodward for plaintiff; W. L. Dennis for do fendant. .

The undersigned, as General Subscription Agent, Is authorised by the Secretary of the Treasury to continue the cale of this popular Loan, and TEN DAYS public notice will be given of discontinuance. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS remain unsold, and this amount Is scarcely euffloient to furnish a basis for the circulation of the National Banking Association* now being formed In every part of the Country. But a short time must elapse before this loan is wholly ab sorbed, the demand from Europe, Germany especially, being Quite active. As U Is well known that the Secretary of the Trea sury has ample and unfailing resources la the duties on Imports, internal revenues, and in the issue of interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is nearly cer tain that It will not be necessary for him for a long time to come to issue permanent Loans, the Interest and principal of Which are payable h*. Gold. These considerations must lead to the prompt conclu sion that the time Is not far distant when these “ Five- Twenties” will sell at a handsome premium, m was the result with the “Seven-thirty” Loan, whenU was all sold, and could no longer be subscribed for at par, This is a SIX PER CENT. LOAN, th» latere** and priaslp&l being parable In coin, thus yielding about bight per cent, per ajinmw at the present premium on gold. It is called * ‘Five-Twenty." from the fast that whilst the Bonds may ran for twenty years* yet the Govern ment has the right to pay them off In gold at par, at any time after Jive yeans. ~ The Interest la mid half yearly on the first days of No vember and fifay. Subscribers can haT* Coupon Bonds which are paya ble to bearer and issued for $5O, $lOO, $5OO, and $l,OOO, or Registered Bonds of similar denominations, and In addition $5,000 and $lO,OOO. These “Five-Twenties” cannot be taxed by States, eltles, towns, or counties, and the Government tax on them Is only one and a half per cent, on the amount of income, when, the Income exceeds six hundred dol lars per annum. Income from all other Investments, such as mortgages, railroad stocks, bonds, &c., mu* pay from three to five per cent, tax on the Income. - Banks and Bankers throughout the eonntry will son- Hnue to dispose of the Bonds..and all orders by mall or otherwise properly attended to. The Treasury Department haying perfected arrange ments for the prompt delivery of Bonds, Subscriber* will he enabled to rsoelye them at the time of subscri bing, or at farthest in FOUR days. This arrangement Will he gratifying to parties who want the Bonds on pay ment of the money, and will greatly lnerease the sale,.
