I.uckiiuunnu Township School Directing to Create a Debt of'l 2.000. Fhvuntlng a red ilunnel rag ahead of an Infuriated bovine of the masculine gender bus about the same effect on the temper of the animal as a refernee to the costly new Moosio school building operutes upon the nervous tension of the average taxpayer of Lackawanna township; and a piece of information that will not tend to sweeten the dis position of the citizens of I.uckuwuuna Is the news that Jl-'.OO" worth of school district bonds are about to be floated to pay for building the school. Three years ugo the citizens of Moo slo began to agitate the question of providing better school accommoda tions for their children and succeeded then in getting the school board to purchase lots on the Main road In Mooslc a short distance Ijjdow the Pres byterian church. Last summer the school board agreed to elect a new. school nt u cost approaching $10,000. The plans were adopted and the con tract let to Mulhcrln & Judge, of the Sou,th Sid.e The citizens of Mlnooka assembled, and In unison protested against the action of t he board. The law was re sorted to, bu,t court decided that the School board was acting In accord with the power vested in it and sustained the action of the board. Work on the su perstructure was begun early In the winter and has advanced along well to ward completion. To pay for the school the directors have decided to float $12,000 worth of ."i per cent, redemption bonds of $500 each, payable In five years. This will entail an additional levy on the tax payers an annual sum of nearly $3,000. Taylor & Lewis are the attorneys for the board and have In hand the task of drawing up the bonds. The reason thut the money has not been raised up to this time is because Assessor Frank Toole had not filed his assessment. It Is necessary to know tho assessed valu ation of the township before Hoating bonds. The objection of the other citizens of the township against the Mooslc school Is that the people were already well enough provided with school facilities. MATINEES EACH DAY.

UEETEM DENIES THE STORY Local Capitalists Are at Their Wits' hnds and Don't Jiiiow What to Believe, Proposed Changes, It Is Said, Will lie Sweeping. Star'illng rumors have been rife for several days that a complete change la to be made In the management of the Scranton Traction company and that the financial control of the entire sys tem Is to change from 10. W. Clark 4i Co., the Philadelphia lllianclers, to lo cal capitalists. Many thousands of dollars are said to be Involved In the new deal and speculative capitalists are at their wits' ends from the fact that what la consid ered reliable Information from one source Is us eniphutlcully denied by an opposite faction. Changes to Take Place. A gentleman who Is well Versed In Tructlon company affairs, to a Tribune reporter last, night gave detailed Information of the chunges soon to occur. Another Interview with J. R. lieetein, the general man ager of the company, would In dicate that there Is neither a con templated change In the management nor any exepected transfer In linanclal Interests. From what The Tribune considers a reliable source comes the following In formation, the important portion of which is denied by Mr. lleetem: "Vice President Clark Is expected In Scranton next Tuesday, soon after which will transpire u sweeping change of olllclals Including the retirement of General Manager lleetem, Knglneer Fox, Divi sion Superintendent Dubois, Inspector Gallagher and Clerk Herlllcker. The chief reason given for the change Is that expenses, other than operation, have been Inconsistently high. Mr. Ueetem has been to Philadelphia fre quently of late to consult with President Ulsley and others and the result will be his resignation." What Mr. lleetem Says. In his rooms at tho Hotel Terrace, JJr. lleetem was seen last night by a Trib une reporter. "Is It true," he wns asked, "that there is uny contemplated change In the man agement of the company'.'" "Emphatically, there is not," was the reply. "Is It true that there Is any proposed change in the financial Interests or financial control of the company?" ' "N'o, sir; that Is not true either," said Mr. Ueetem Just as firmly as In his re ply to the first question. Among a certain financial element which watches Very closely any local enterprise Involving capital It Is said that John A. Mears, John T. Richards, 11. II. Archer, P. S. Page and William Mears are seeking to become largely In terested In, which virtually means owners of, the Traction company. Ac cording to financial gossop Mr. Archer, who preceded Mr. lleetem, Is to be the new president, and William Mears, an other ex-manager, is to be the new gen eral manager. OLD MAX'S SIDPEX DEATH. James .Tiguc, of May field, Passes Away While Sitting In a Chair. After eating a hearty supper yester day evening James Tlghe.aged SO years, of Lackawanna avenue, Mayfleld bor ough, retired to the sitting room with his wife, where they sat for some time chatting pleasantly together. His ad vened age did not deter him from en Joying good health. As they were speaking he suddenly paused and after a momentary struggle fell forward from his chair to the floor dead. He Is survived by his wife. II resided In the upper end of the county for C8 years, and was a co laborer with the late John B. Smith, when the latter toiled hard and earned his bread by the sweat of his brow. WORK ON HOTEL JEKMYN. Steel Frame of the Topmost Story Is lie lng Put In Place. High above the busy street nre the artisans tit work upon the steel rib bing of th Beventli story of the new Hotel Jermyn. This Is the last tier of metal work, and It will be finished In a few weeks.

Contractor Conrad Hchroeder's inc diunk'H are busy laying the granite side walls, and the rear wall of the structure Is looming In the air. The pillars of tho entrances and windows, on the Bprucc street side are ulrendy noticeable. KEOI IEM MASS. Celebrated for llcpnso of Soul of Kcv. lather Mnngan. Yesterday morning n solemn high mass of requiem for the repose of the soul of the late Rev. J. J. Mangan was celebrated at St. IVtcr'B cathedral. Rev. P. F. Quitman was celebrant, Rev. P. J.

The service was attended by clergy man from various parts of the diocese, the students from St. Thomas' college, of which the late Father Mangan wns president, and a number of pupils from St. Cecilia's academy. AN INGENIOUS EAMILY. Three llrothsrs Who Have Perfected Val uable Patents. A local company has been formed to place on the market a pntent lawn mower Invented by F. II. Zone, of Mon roe avenue. The capital stock will be $.V),000 und the company Is being or ganized by ex-Judge 11. A. Knupp, A. U. Warman, Kbenezer Williams, Henry II. Pfelffer, F. L. Phillips, and Charles Pierce. The machine has not the cum bersome wheels and other Impediments of the ordinary mower and It cuts aitil i.itna tlm irrasM. Messrs. Williams Dill' Pfleffer have been to New York clty and Newburg, N. Y where the ma chine was tested and report that they were highly satisfied with the results. The mower weighs twenty-eight pounds and the casting will be mode In local foundries and placed together tiy employes of the company. Mr. Zone Is a machinist In the Delaware, Luck awunna and Western muchlnn shops and has Invented other clever contriv ances. His brother, E. Zone, hns also designed a new button machine to Ilia the vough edges on buttons and hus been In use with great Buccess In tho Bcranton. Uutton works, on the South Side, for some time. The. custom Is to file buttons by hand, but Mr. Zone's In vention will supersede tho old methods and complete the work In a better man ner. About a year ago he patented an eloctrloal, mining engine, which was thorough.y tested In the soft coal re- glona, and a second machine has Just been completed at the Dickson works and will be given a final test In a few weeks. Another brother, L. A. Zone, has patented an Ingenious contrivance for sterilizing milk. He resides at ISound Rrook, N. J., und Is mechanical en gineer for the company organized to manufacture his Invention. He Intends to make arrangements for a branch manufactory in Heranton. .MA II Eli AND COMPANY. ICnlertalned a Pair Sized Audience at the Academy of Music. , rpter Mailer, the Irish heavy weight, and touted us "the coming champion of the world," may have to do some stilt punching to possess that title, but he sparred sufllclently well at the Acad emy of Music last night to make a monkey of Hurry Cortrlght, one of Ucranton's pugilistic stars. Billy Hen ncssy, the Boston welterweight, met James Judge In a three-round bout und the exhibition proved that the Heran ton man is all that his friends claim for him. Hennessy and Judge opened tho box ing part of the entertainment. Tho Boston man Is heavier, taller, has a greater reach and more ring experl enc than Judge, who, though outclassed, evidently Impressed Hennessy that be was not up ugalnst a raw "amachoor." If the men had been evenly matched, Judge, who has but recently become a professional, might have been termed the better of the two. The Maher-Cortright exhibition was a farce. The shifty man from Ireland with one hand tied could probably have smothered the Scrantonlan In one round. ' Maher and company will appear Sat urday night at the Academy, when Professor P. F. Murphy, boxing Inst rue tor of the Scranton Athletic club, will meet Maher, and Peter Lowry will go In ugalnst Hennessy. -Maher has with him a very good va riety company, whose Introductory en tertainment satisfied the fair sized audience. The two Mayo brothers, boy character vocalists; John Cotiley and Joe Madden, comedians, and Price and Mack, black face acrobats, and the other members of the aggregation merited the applause accorded them. DIRK WANTS A CHANGE. Would Like to lluvo Money Transferred to Pave Venn Avenue. It Is quite probable that the 189.1 city appropriation ordinance will be delayed one week In select council tonight. Each branch of councils will be In ses sion and it had been hoped that the ordinance would pass third reading In the select branch and be sent over to the commoners for two readings'. It appears, however, thut Selectman Durr, of the Eighth, has not abandoned hopes of getting $J,500 appropriated for paving Penn avenue between Spruce street and Lackawanna avenue. At the last meeting of select council the ordinance was amended to appropriate that sum for the opening of Wyoming uvcliue between Phelps and Ash streets. The money Is expected to accrue from the tax on poles, which was not Includ ed In the city controller's original esti mate of revenue. The Wyoming' avenue appropriation was made on a divided vote. It is re ported on good authority that Penn avenue property owners have Influ enced two of the afllrmatlve voters to call for a recommendation of the amendment. Based upon the former vote It Is claimed that the amendment will be changed In favor of a pavement for Penn avenue. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. John Doellner, Jr., of the car shops, Is seriously 111. Robert F. MeKenna sustained a re lapse a few days ago and Is now con fined to his bed. Rev. Warren G. Partridge preached an excellent sermon on "Faith" at the machine shop noon meeting yesterday. Today will be one of the greatest In the life of Archie Baldwin, as Miss Hosle will be known as Mrs. Baldwin by this evening. All his comrades wish the happy couple long life, prosperity and happiness. Brakeman Benjamin, of train No. 28, sustained a severe accident at Great Bend yesterday morning about 0 o'clock. While engaged In coupling cars his light hand was caught be tween the buffers, three of his lingers being crushed. He was brought to the city in the caboose and conveyed to the Moses Taylor hospital, where the three Injured lingers were amputated. 1'pon Inquiry last night he wua reported to be resting comfortably after the opera tlon, and the medical men were hope ful of his being discharged from the In stitution at an early date. Tonight the closing entertainment of the season will be held, when Lovett's Boston Stars will be present. Accord lng to Frank Glover, an ardent Bos tonlun, "the .Stars will lick anything In creation." This ought to be sutlhient of an Inducement to members to attend the entertainment. Many of the mem bers, however, heard Lovett's Stars nt the Plymouth church a yeur ago, and declare that they would walk to Ml .nooka to hear them again.' It should be observed, however, that members only will be admitted. All those not holding membership tickets will be re fused udmlssion. To Close Out.

HON IS OVER ZEALOUS Conducts Kcli(jiou.s Services in 'av- crly Schools. BEGIN LEGAL I'KOTEEDIXGS They Ask for on Injunction to Kcstraiu Professor lluiiyon from Heading thi lllblo and Conducting Kcligious . Exercises in tho Schools. Religious zeal on the part of Principal Fred C. llunyon, of the Wuveiiy bor ough school, bus caused a spirited feel ing to spring up between himself and the board of school directors, and the courts are usked to Intervene and settle the dllliculty. Haiiyon is principal of the Waverly schools und for some time past he lias conducted religious worship according to the persuasion of the 'Methodist Kpis copal church, at the opening of school each morning and ut Intervals during the day. From tho facts In the case It appears that lately u Series of revival meetings were held for two weeks ill the Waver ly Methodist Episcopal church and Im mediately nfterwurd the scene of the meetings was transferred to the Baptist church, where two weeks more were de voted to the service of the Lord. llanyon became so filled with pious fervor thut be established it as a rule that his school should be opened each morning with Bible reading. lie usually read the first verse of the thirty-second psalm and the pupils would respond by reading the second verse In unison, ami In that manner llanyon and the pupils proceeded through the entire psalm, reading al ternate verses. He required the children at various times to repent in concert certain pas sages from the Bible and kept .drilling them until they were able to repeat the quotations from memory. The morning exercises were always closed with' singing by the school from the Pentecostal hymnal. Kcligious Address Delivered On one occasion last December, Rev. J. L. Thomas, who conducted the re vival meetings, visited the school, and at the request of the principal Hev. Mr. Thomas delivered a fervid religious ad dress. Vpoa the conclusion of his re marks the clergyman asked the pupils who loved the Lord to signify It by up lifted hands. The pupils who did not raise their hands were chided by the principal and rebuked for not making the sign, and he then asked them if they were not sorry und ashamed. Among the pupils attending llanyon' a school there are a few children of Koman Catholic parents. The exer cises conducted by the teacher are al leged to have been especially offensive to these parents, and complaint was made by them to the board of directors. The secretary of the board Is George E. Stevenson, an influential citizen of Waverly, and a man well known in this city. Two of his children are pupils in the school mentioned and the religious teaching carried on by the principal was distasteful to Mr. Stevenson's chil dren because they do not subscribe to the articles of faith of the Methodist Episcopal church. llanyon exercises a general supervl slon over all the grades of the school, and beside the children of Mr. Steven son and the Roman Catholic children there are several others who do not take kindly to the methods of leading people to salvation which Hanyon prescribes. Legal I'locccdlnps llcgun. In order to put an end to the religious training in the public school and the introduction of any further sectarian ism, Mr. Stevenson, the secretary of the district, went to the school on March 1 and saw for himself that the principal conducted religious worship. Then at the next meetlngof the school board ho Introduced a resolution ap proving of the course llanyon was pur suing. The directors unanimously re pudiated the resolution and thereby placed the seal of disapproval upon the teacher's action. He was notilied of the action of the board, 'and still re fused to desist. Yesterday Attorneys E. C. Xewcomb and John P. Kelly, representing the ofti cers of the Waverly school district, be gan an equity suit ugalnst llanyon and petitioned for an Injunction restraining him from carrying on bis religious work any further In connection with his duties as principal of the public school. Judge Gunster was upon the bench In the muln court room and the papers were laid before him. One of the documents was a petition praying for the restralnment of the principal from his religions 'work und the other was an nllldavlt setting forth the facts In the case. Judge Gunster granted a rule to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be granted ami fixed Satur day next at ! a. m. as the time for u healing. AN UNURATI'lTL YOUTH.
