OUTGOING AND ; IUIKG i n V 1 "" " 'I board of Control Will Meet Tonight for Reorganization. MAKE IT OP THE NEW BOARD Faces That Have Ueea Familiar on the Board for Years Will Be Missed Tonlfbt-Who the New Members Are. When the board of control adjourned last night It was to meet for the last time at 70 o'clock tonight when the present body will dissolve and reor ganisation takes place. Just what will be done at organisa tion in the way of electing a chairman Is a question which no one Is In a posi tion to question. The peculiar politi cal condition of the board and the fact that seven new members will take their seats tonight makes speculation little more than guessing and even keeps the leaders of the opposing factions In a quandry. The Republicans and Democrats are Jumbled together Indiscriminately In two factions with F. L. Wormier and George Mitchell at the head of one and W. J. Welsh and T. J. Jennings leading the other. The former represents a combine known as the "loyal 'leven." As the matter stood last night the opposing candidates for the chairman ship are George Mitchell or possibly F. S. Barker on the one side, and W. J. Welsh on the other. Each side claims the necessary eleven votes and to apare. The worth of these claims will develop tonight. No opposition is as yet apparent to the present secretary. On tonight's organization will depend In a great measure the selection of a city superintendent In the spring. MAKE UP OF THE BOARD. Following Is the make up ot ew board, showing the old, new saw re elected members: l.-Oeorge Mitchell. 5. A. L. Francois. 3. H. J. O Malley. 4. Menaon Davis. 6. George B. Carson, 6. John Casey. 7. John Devanney, 1 . P. L. Wormser, i' . W. J. Welsh. 10. Jacob Schaeffer. . 11. C. J. Conrad. 12. Anthony Walsh. II. C. S. Jacobs. , 14. T. J. Jennings. j , . ' 13. J. H. Williams. Hi. O. B. achrlefer. 17. F. S. Barker. 15. Patrick Langan. !. Herman Noit. - ' ' 20. John Gibbons. 21. W. S. Langntaff. New members; Re-elected; un marked, old members. The seven old members who retire from the board tonight art C. H. von Storoh, Second ward; James A. Evans, Fourth ward; John P. Mahon, Sixth ward: W. 8. Watrous, Tenth ward; James O'Boyle, Twelfth ward; William G. O'Malley, Twentieth ward. In the retirement of C. H. von Storch the board loses a good man. He is a lawyer, and an aggressive Scrantoiitaii, who took a great Interest In school board work, and during his four years of service gave many an bour of his time to the district. Mr. von Storch waa elected chairman of the 'board In 1894, and last year was honored with a place on all the more important com mittees, being chairman of the supply committee and committee on rules. During his Incumbency the needs of his ward were carefully looked after, one very tangible token of which Is the new No. 27 building which was erected in his ward last year. MR. EVANS. OF THE FOURTH. James A. Evans was always consid ered one of tho solid members oft the board and his opinions had great weight with his colleagues. He suc ceeded In ereotlng a handsome new building, No. 19. and can retire with the consolation that his ward is better taken care of In the matter of schools than probably any other ward In tne city. John P. Mahon was one of the young er element of the board, and although having no practical knowledge of the needs of children as regards training and education, showed nevertheless that he was an apt learner himself, for his constituents accord to him the praise of having given them an unsur passed representation on the board. During his Incumbency a portion of Bellevue was unnexed to his ward, and to provide for the new addition, he, in conjunction with Mr. Williams, of the Fifteenth, had the new No. 3i building erected on Bellevue Heights. Mr. Ma hon was a member of the finance com mittee and the teachers' committee, two of the most Important on the board. A. S. Watrous ended an eight year term last night. His distinction on the board was his knowledge of the busi ness of the supply committee, over which he presided for the greater part of his term. He was one of the best liked members of the board, and his fellow members express the deepest sympathy over his loss of health, which required his going to Denver, where he now lies in a precarious condition. MAN FROM THE TWELFTH. James O'Boyle Is another young man who had made a good record dur ing his term. While he built no school house, none being needed, ht Improved the old one to such an extent that it left no new one to be desired, and saved the taxpayers no small sum thereby. Mr. O'Boyle was honored with a place on the supply. Insurance and high and training school committees last year and attentively looked after the various duties these committees imposed on him. Ha retires from the board with the consciousness vf having faithfully and ably represented the old Twelfth. William G. O'Malley would be a capi tal man In any deliberative or executive body, and the district may well regret the loss of his services. lie is master mechanic at the South mill, and one of the most popular men on the South Side. If he cared to enter political life he would, no doubt, be signally hon ored, for he combines all the elements that command political success. On the school board Mr. O'Malley was especially valuable as a member of the building committee, where his knowl edge of machinery, plumbing and the like came In to great advantage. This Is no small matter when the number of heating and ventilating plants, which have been constructed In build ings during his term, Is taken into con sideration. THE NEW MEMBERS. . A.Ij. Francois, the new member from the Second, Is one of the city's repre sentative business men. He is a mem ber of the firm of Bell A Francois, wholesale meat dealers, having houses In this city and Carbondale.' He Is 45 years of age, and has been In busi ness here for twenty-five years. Benson Davis, one ot the three Dem ocrats, who, within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, has succeeded in carrying the Fourth, is a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western master car penter, a good, solid citizen, and a man that can be relied upon to think for himself. John Casey, is proprietor of the St. Nicholas, and both In and out of his business circle Is a popular young man. He is one of those kind of men who be lieve In doing things well and It can be looked for that Mr. Casey will be one of the most active members the board. Jacob Schaeffer, who comes from the Tenth. Is 45 years of age, and Is em ployed as foreman of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's carpenter shop. He Is another of those substan tial men who should be welcomed Into the city's governing bodies, and who can always be relied upon to look out Vfor the city's Interests more than their darn. He represented the Tenth ward In'tcouncUa eight or ten years ago, and , made a good record, which he can be expected to duplicate or surpass on the board of control. WILL BE A WORKER. Anthony Walsh, who takes the next turn at representing the Twelfth is iifi years of age and un employe of the low er mllL The fact that he comes from the Twelfth bespeaks that he will be found among the workers on the board. His ability as a worker was Instanced In the election In which he defeated his popular opponent by thirty-four votes, although he ran on nomination papers. Patrick Langan, who succeeds the late lamented Thomas Coar from the Eighteenth, was elected without opposi tion, although he had to beat a hard man, M. M. Ruddy, in the primaries. Mr. Langan Is twenty-six years of age and a native of the ward he represents. Despite his years he holds an Important position under the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western company. In which line he has few superiors, It is said, among the older heads. Mr. Langan is a cousin of T. J. Jennings, the Demo cratic leader of the board. Of John Gibbons, who comes back to school board where he did such yeoman service when the district was fast as suming shupe, little need be said and no Introduction Is necessary us he is oneot the best known men In Scranton toduy. LAST BUSINESS MEETING. Board of Control Uolds a Short Session und Pays Bills. The school controllers had but little old business to transact last night, and being the last session, it was no time for the Introduction of new business, so very little was dune outside of the payment of the ordinary bills. The pay roll or officers amounted to $450 and was approved for that amount. The Hat of delinquent tax collectors, printed in The Tribune Saturday, was presented and approved. Kate O'Boyle was appointed Janltress of No. i school vice Mary O'Boyle. deceased. Air. Notz wanted to take the con sideration of the bids for heating and ventilating No. 10 building out of the hands of the building committee and decide forthwith upon who was to get the contract. Air. Welsh entered a vig orous protest against this, saying that he had assured the four bidders that nothing would be done In the matter until after reorganization. On an aye and nay vote Mr. Notz's motion was killed, the vote being 9 to 5. a communication regarding the res Istry of school children who have been vaccinated was received from the board of health and referred to the teachers' committee. MISS KOCII'SDEIIUT. Was Heard at Frothlngham for First Time as a Cnnetrt Singer. Aliss Anna Ida Koch's debut on the concert stage at the Frothlngham last night was a most flattering success and presages a promising future for the gifted young woman. She was former ly a resident of this city, and Is the daughter of Louis Koch and a niece of victor Koch, of the Scranton house, When a resident of this city Miss Koch was a member of the choir of the ?ec ond Presbyterian church, and was famed locally for the sweetness and power of her voice. For several years Mlsss Koch has studied tinder the best Instructors In New York and the good results from her arduous duty were apparent last night when she sang her llrst number It was Meyerbeera "Roberto O tu Cho Adoro, an ambitious selection, which it would possibly have been better for Miss Koch to have reserved for luter in the evening. At first there was a trace of agitation in her voice and man ner, but before the selection was tin Ished she was completely master o ier self, and the splendid qualities of her fine soprano voice were critically noted by the audience. It is or great sweet ness. range and power. Miss Koch has a graceful carriage, fins stage appear ance, and sings with a naturalness and ease, that Is seldom observed among concert soloists, rne otner selections In which she was heard last night were Georgia's "Nevada Star," "O Sonnen sheln," Grmun, by Schumann, and "A Child's Lament," by Nevln. The singer was accorded hearty applause after each number. She waa assisted In the concert by Miss Ethel D. Houston, contralto; W. Otto Polemaun, tenor: Edward 8. Roe, basso: Thomas E. Perkins, pianist, and Miss Marlon Short, elocutionist. They are all artists of more than ordinary ability, and combined gave a concert that has not been surpassed In this city In years. Miss Short's recitations were raptur ously applauded. She Is an exception ally gifted young woman in thai line, Besides the solos Miss Koch sang a duett with Mr. Polemaun and with Alias Houston, Mr. Polemaun and Air. Roe, made up a quartette.

REASONS THAT ARE ADVANCED It Is Contended That the Placo Is Not Necessary and Is Near a House of Worship-Was kefused Last Year. The first remonstrance against an ap plicant for a liquor license was the one tiled yesterday in the olllce of Clerk of the Courts Thomas npalnst the petition of Lena, wife of William Decklenlck, for a hotel license at the corner of South Atnln avenue and Luzerne street In the Fifth ward. The remonstrance comes from the pastor and parishioners of St. John's German Cutlmlle church, which Is situ ated across the street from Decklenlek's pluce. This stand wus opened for the first time la April, 1SK4. Then there was a hard protest from Kt. John's congre gation. After selling one year Deckle nick was refused a license In March. 195. on the ground that he sold liquor on election duy. The reasons outlined In the remon strance now tiled uguinst him are sub stantially as follows: That the place Is not necessary for the accommodation of the public and of struugers and travelers; that It Is distant from St. John's church only 70 feet, and if li cenced would become u great nuisance and source of discomfort to the congre gation; that In conjunction with the church there Is conducted u school, at tended dully by about Via pupils of both sexes, ranging In age from six to twelve years, and the hotel would be a menace to the welfare of. these pupils and would work Incalculable Injury to the morula and habits of children of such tender years; and that the place is within 100 feet of the Sisters' house and directly across the road from the garden where the SlBters must take their exercise and recreation; and that the granting of a license as requested would subject the Sisters to great an noyance and would materially affect their happiness. Rev. John J. Frleker, pastor of St. John's church. Is the first Blgner, nnd after him came the names of eighty two members of the parish. Attorney Walter ilrlirgs represents the remon strants.
