Another move has been made in ref erence to the chat ges npainst Itevenue Collector t.lrant Herring which it Is Imped will result In bringing the atten tion of congress to them. Some time ago a bill was Introduced to reimburse Postmaster V. M. Vantl ling of this city for $s,:!00 worth of stamps that watte stolen from the Si'tontim postolllee. The payment of this amount must bo provided for by the appropriations, committee. The matter is now under consideration by Hie appropriations committee of the house, of w hich KepivsenUilive Dingley is chairman, ami a request has been made on that gentleman to ask for the papers in Hie Herring-case on lile in the treasury department for the purpose of disclosing the i luiracter of pome of the persons who lieiuenti:il the federal building. The object of the new move is obvious. It is also staled that W. .T. llurke re ifntly liled new- evidence in the Her ring case w ith the otiicials of the treas ury department, and that he has other evidence in course of preparation. VEUY FLASH MK. JOHNSON. President of the Oriental Club Arrested for Keeping a (iainbling House. Jinny .people about the central city no doubt have noticed a very Hash, heavy-muslm lied colored man, who hangs about the principal streets on pleasant at'leiiioous sunning himself and affecting tlie air of n man who has nothing to do but spend money. That Is William II. Johnson, president of the Oriental club, .lust vvpu and what Johnson mid the oriental club are cuu be best gleaned from this: Fred Hrndloy, a colored man, ap peared before Alderman .Millar yester day iitternoon and iniid that he had been skinned out of $IS, his whole month's earnings, by sharpers at the Oriental club, 404 i 'la It ford court, a Rambling den kept by W. 11. Johnson. He wanted to get iiin money or revenge, and us a good met hod of getting both was ad vised to svvoar out a warrant for John son's arrest. This was done and the Tory Hash president of Hie oriental club was be fore Alderman Miliar yesterday after noon charged with running a gambling house and ulso with selling lhiuor with out llcensi1. owing to some misunderstanding about the time, several witnesses were absent, and tlie hearing had to be con tinued until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Johnson gave ball for his appearance at that time. TWO HOLD, HAD IJOYS. Juvenile Pigeon Thieves Received at the County Jail l.nst Night. Two boys, Menard Hamilton and "Wil liam Mox. neither more than 12 yenrs old and unable to read or write, 'were committed to the county Jail last night by Justice of the Pence James Scott, ol'iThronp borough. They were nrrest ed for stealing pigeons from lloger Comerlskey, of Throop, and could not give ball for their appearance at court.

POLICY OF RETRENCHMENT Has lfccn Put in' Practice by the Hoard of Control. CAUSED A HEATED DISCISSION Paring Down licgun With the New lluilJ ing Mr. Not Is Interested In, oil J lie Strongly Objected to Such Action. Tteirenchment is now the motto of the board of control. The f ree-handeii expenditures of last year' which neces sitated a twenty per cent. Increase in Hie tax levy being ordered at the last meeting has caused criticism from the lax vnyers ami awakened the control 1. rs to a realization of tlie fac t. After Liking a ivtros'Jecttve view they came to the conclusion tba the new school buildings or rather he inices on these buildings, were the cause of the delh-it nnd here they concluded wa9 the proper place to hedge. Heretofore I, has been an unwritten rule that M.MH) should be allowed for each room in a new building. This nit ant that a. twenh e-iooin building would cost, when healed, ventilated ami tiirnisli. tl. and the grounds graded ami lixed up a litlle.somevvbere In the neigh borhood of $.".ii,inmi. It was impossible for tlie powers-thnt-wvre to say to a. North Knd man that he wasn't to have us cosily a building us a West Side man and on condition that this man voted for that man's building, that mini would it turn the compliment. Something had lie done to bring ubotit a reform and at a eonfeunce of some of the leaders of the hoard It was agreed to launch a movement to make the standard price for new build ings Jt:!0.0i)t) including everything. Plans had been made for a building for Mr. Notz. which would cost $.!6.iMiii without taking Into consideration the heating furnishing or the like. This building was selected as the lirst victim for the paring process and as may well be Im agined there was a. vigorous kick from air. Notz's quarter. NOTZ WAS ANl'.ltV. The gentleman from the Nineteenth was In an Intensely belligerent mood before the meeting started nt all and when It got through he was threaten ing to "knock the stutling" out of Mr. Wormser and maUlnrf ir-nacing visits to Mr. millions' desk, t .ie time when affairs came to such a iss that he was no longer tolerable President Mitchell told him that it' he did not come to order he would take measures to com pel him to. It was under the head of tlie building committee's report thnt tin- new movement was launched. Thu report read: "Wo recommend thnt the contract for the heating ami ventilation of No. 1ft school be ii warded to Hunt & Connell. thev being the lowest und best bidders. "The said llrm submitted two bills for the system, one according to the plans and s'leclticatlons of the nrchitect for R!M5. and another for $:!.fli), to Intro duce a system similar t that in No. lit with the addition or automatic control to regulate the temperature. The sys tem ut No. Ill appears to be entirely satisfactory, and Hunt & Connell guar antee that they will put In a system at No. 10 that will give complete satisfac tion. We therefore recommend It. as It will result in a saving to the district as follows: Difference in bids. JIKm; cost of additional stack under first bid, $500; total amount saved by acceptance of second bid, $I.4."i.j. "We also recommend that Hunt & Council's bid to put in the Smead sys tem of dry closets for $fd., be neceptetl.V they being the lowest and best bidders. IU'ILDINOS TOO COSTLY. Mr. Wormser, In a lengthy speech, which came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky upon Ill-fated Mr. Notss, said It was time to calfa halt on high priced school buildings. The board, he went on to sny, can not begin to meet the ex penditures voted last year, notwith standing the 20 per cent. Increase In taxes. There are other buildings need ed at present and In the near future there will be a general demand for in creased facilities from all parts of the city by reason of the compulsory edu cation law going into effect. The build ings that have been going up are too high priced. It is time to call a halt. There Is too much glnger-breud embel lishment to the school buildings. We can give the same comforts und con veniences In a cheaper, yet equally BUb stantlal building, and hereafter we should cull for plans for u building not to cost over $30,000 when completed and ready for occupancy. Like education Itself, let the buildings bo substantial but unostentatious. The children will lie as well cared for and the people as well satisfied. Mr, Notz took the lloor and said In solemn, slow, measured tones thut he was not surprised. "Jlr. Wormser," he continued, wanning up somewhat, "had thrown cold water on everything the South Hide has brought up for ycurs." Jlr. Wormser Interrupted him with a point of order that ho was personal and was impugning n member's mo tives, all of which Is forbidden in the rules. The point was well taken ac cording to the ruling of tlie chair and Jlr. Xotz took another talk for awhile. He Dually got back along personal lines and ehnrged that it was not the cost or the building that was being honestly considered, but rather that it was u move to shelve the new South Sitle sc hool for another ycur. Mr. Wormser was culled to the chair ami President Mitchell proceeded to put himself on record us being in hearty accord with Jlr. Wormser's Ideas. Tim board, he snld, thought It was doing the propr tiling to put up handsome and cosily buildings so that the tax payer w .mid see somelhing tangible for Ills money. This idea if followed out would bankrupt tile district. He cited tlie city of Syracuse as being larger and more metropolitan than Scranton yd it limited the cost of its school buildings to $l,Siw a room. Here they are limited to $;i.00O u room but when everything is completed In and about a building the cost llgui-es up to $4,000 or $.1,0110 a room, lie concluded by mov ing that the pluns for No. 10, together with the building committee's heating and ventilating recommendations be recommitted and that tlie urchjtec-t be Instructed to draw up a new set of plans which would give the district a building complete and ready for occu pancy for $30,000. WHAT MR. NOTZ SAID. Jlr. Notz again took the floor and brought out the point that the South Side was entitled to us good a building as any other part of the city. Mr. (lib bons brought down Mr. Notz's wrath upon his head by making a speech in favor of retrenchment. He also be-lle'-pd thnt the board was spending too much money for buildings and said openly and frequently thnt If he was I eieeiea 10 cue scnooi ocmra, ne would vote against costly buildings. There was no reason he said for continuing a bad policy because It had been begun. Two wrongs don't make a right and as one of the new members he wus'not going to stand by and see the wrong continued. In his ward, the Twentieth, he hns a building that cost only $4,4ti() but there have been some blight boys and girls raised there. Jlr. Wormser, upon getting back on the lloor, took occasion to answer Mr. Notz's previous personalities by quietly remarking thnt there was no occasion for the gentleman from the Nineteenth to get worked up over the matter, as the No. 1ft building would go up Ju; as well If Mr. Notz was In Alaska. Mr. Notz, with the air of a martyr, started out: "After faithful promises If there Is a reporter here let him take this down." Somebody from the Democratic side of the house interrupted htm with: "An, why didn't you stick to your party?" There was no sympathy In the tones Jn which it was uttered either, and so Mr. Notz subsided. Messrs. Gobbons and Davis thought thut the heating and ventilating plans could be accepted as the promised change in the plans of the building would not disturb its dimensions, but merely Its style and finish. A majority of the members, however, thought oth erwise, and the whole matter was sent back to committee hy a vote of 13 to 3, Messrs. Casey, Devanney and Noti be ing the dissenters. STATK DIPLOMAS.

Delivered I wo Addresses in tlto Interest os the Salvation Array. StnIT Captain F.ilith Murshull, of New York city, was In the city yesterday in thu interests of the Auxllllary league of the Salvation army. At 3.3ft o'clock in the uftei noon she addressed a gath ering at Young Men's Chritctluu asso ciation hall, and In the evening u meet ing was held at the Simpson Methodist Kpiscopiil church. Captain .Marshall Is more scholarly than the usual Salvationist, and her style of addressing an audience Is some what different from that usually em ployed by the public speakers of the army. "The dfell is an up-to-date being." was one of her expressions. Sin; her self also Feeiiis to be of the Twentieth century style. The meeting at tin; Simpson church In Ihe evening was remarkable from the fact that there was not. the slightest direct referenc e to tlie split in the army. During her forty-live mintpe speech Captain -Marshall did not even mention the Volunteers. She came; as a Salva tionist, with no axes to grind, save the Interests of the army, und 111 this re spect her mission was perfectly fulfilled. At the talk at the Simpson Captain Wntklns was guilty of a disguised ef fort to enforce upon the minds of Sal vationists the greatness of the army. She gave a history of Its Inception by William llootii and in an adroit way touched upon the holiness of the work. The Salvntion army attended the meet ing In a body. Others who figured In the doings of the evening were Captain Lewis, of the local corps, and Captain Kate Jenkins, of New York city, who Is visiting here. DESERTING A COAL TOWN. Mines Abandoned That Employed Nearly 1,000 Hands. Hazlotnn, Pa., May 11. The town of Stockton Is rapidly becoming depopu lated, although two weeks ago it was one of the liveliest places In the coal regions. The remaining employes of Lindemann & Skeer, at Stoc kton, last evening were notified to tear up the tracks end remove them from tho mines. This means the drowning of the colliery and Its entire abandonment, throwing nearly 1,')00 men and boys out of employment. There Is still a large amount of unmlned coal, but the ex pense of mlnlnu It Is so grent that the operators cannot afford to pay the enormous royalties demanded by the land owners. As there seems no hope of future work, the people ure moving away from the town. m i Death of W. S. Slonn. Norwalk, Conn., May 11.

Who the new district chiefs will be would not be olllciully divulged, but rumor lias it thut McMunus, of the Crystals, for the central city: Rayner, of Petersburg; O'Maih y, of Itellt vue. and Kinsley, of th" West Side, are among the new men. Schwartz, the South Side assistant chief, ia slated to succeed himself. Fred W. Warnke was offered the West Side district chief taincy, but refused to take it when Charley inns was not macie c hief engi neer.
