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.

Strong.
Henry W. Gault vs. John O. Nippes. This was
an action to test the right of plaintiff to a fund of
$550, paid into court by the Pennsylvania Life In

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.

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,.
