tweeii Chairman Mitchell and Mr- Not
last nlsht. It followed the report of
the high school committee on th- text
books adopted for the new curriculum.
Mr. N'oU wanted to know what the
books would cost. Ml'. wormsei,
chairman of the commillee, told him
that the ( iniilleo could not Kive hint

"Now, live asked a simro. question

"You Kt a square answer, Mr. Xidz,"
said Chairman Mitchell.
"I jn it no square answer. There was

This turned tho lansh on Mr. Mitchell
lull lie took it Bui id naluredly, attfibut
ins Mr. Not.' jocosity to his uaial

A little later In his liarraniru.- Mr.
N.itz charged that "Just because a

could ?et the whole order." This nettled
Chairman Mitchell somewhat and iu
very pointed tones he addressed Mr.
Not with: "ritJenUliiK of square nn-
siveis, Mr. Notz, had you made a square
answer to somethini; you wer inter
located ulmut recently you wouldn't be

Mr. Wormser for. the lliy.h Kchon!

TWKNTY-F1VB FOU EACH.
This last arrangement does not meet
with. the upproval of some of the mem
bers and on motion of Mr. Jeniiln.irs
It was decided that each controller
should receive at least tweuty-nv
tickets. Mr. (jibboiis thought that In
usinucli as the auditorium would seat
only ti bout l.tiOU persons, the exercises
should be repeated on Friday und Sat
urday. The committee would not heat
to this, however. The bulldhiK will be
open for public Inspection for three
days, when anyone may enter. The
exercltes will, however, lie conlined to
those holding invitations. Mr. Not::
urinied usalnst exdudihK anybody at
any time. The doors ought to be
thrown open to the general public and
let the first come be llrst served, and
such like.

OPENING THE CITY SCHOOLS.
l.iirgcly Increased Attendance lb"
purled by Supcriiilciiilcnt.
The public schools, with the excep
tion of the new high school, which be
gins its session on the 2Sth lust., opened
yesterday after the Hummer vacation,
with a largely Increased attendance in
every district. Superintendent dew-go
Howell wus unable to give figures, but
he said It would be safe to stale thai
the increuse was exceptionally laisc
this year. To (he operations if the
compulsory educational law, which
went Into practical effect here yst-r-day,
he attributed a goodly portio:i of
the Increase. Later, when the law is
in full effect, thut Is when the attend
ance ollicers get to work, the nuiuber.of
pupils will be still more lai-i-ly in
creased. The superintendent was seen jmt as
he hud completed a tour of buildings
nnd he reported that notwithstanding
the Increase!, every one of l:i.00 or
more pupils was provided with a sent.
The opening of the two new building",
Nos. IS and 1!( and a number of annexes
in crowded districts made this possi
ble. There are still a number of va
cant rooms in vnrlous buildings and
unless there is an Inllux of punils far
exceeding expectations there will be no
serious inconveniences as far us ac
comodations are concerned.
Superintendent Howells' estimate of
the nttendnnce was within three per
cent, of the actual enrollment and ns a
consequence the provisions for accom
modating the pupils were such as to
make chnge of grades or new divisions
of districts unnecessary.
Principal Oeorge Ij. Phillips and Pro
fessor Frank Lyttle and John U. Wag
ner, yesterduy examined llfty.one ap
plicants for admittance to the high
school. This number was principally
made up of pupils who hud failed in
their examination at the end of the
year and who received a recommenda
tion from their teachers that they were
worthy of another trial. Some -also
came from parochial and private
schools and others still were those
whose families recently took up their
residence In this city.

Mr. Steward was not n politician In
any sense of the word, lie was too in
dependent to be held strictly within
party lines and too straight-forward
to i-iiirasi- in political Intrigues und
manoeuvres. Hut by reason of his
force of character and Intelligence nml
without endeavor on his part, he be
came :i potent factor in the politics of
his times. He never sought or strove
for any office, but was often culled to
till otlicial places and positions of trust
iu his town and county, and wa gemr
ully supported by his republican neigh
bors, among whom were many of his
best friends.
In 1MD he was elected to c.illgiess on
the lienioccatio ticket and was one of
the working, inlluential but (piiet mem

THAT TURNPIKE AGAIN.
Company lias Begun to Make Repairs.
Refused to Stop at the Request
ol City Officials.
The trouble between the city and tl

yesterday began repairing the road
against the ix press directions of the
city und refused to desist whet: ordered
to do so by Acting Street OoiinnissUincr
C.eorge l'erigo. Warrants will be Is

COURT REFUSES
AN INJUNCTION
Traction Company Can Continue to Lay
Washington Avenue Pave.
HEARING ON RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
Juilte Art-ulmld decided That from
the F.vidcucc llct'ore Him the Trac
tiou Company Hud n High! to Oc
cupy Washington .vt-niic--Tbat Is
.Not the fcnd ul'thc .Hutlcr, However.
Again yesterday after a moretliwuugh
understanding of the case. Judge Arch
buld refused to grant a preliminary
injunction to restrain the employes ot
the Scrantou Traction company from
laying the track on Wnshlneton ave
nue. Last Friday Hon. John P. Kelly and
J. Alton Davis, esq., representing Cyrus
D. Jones, who Is the owner of the
building In which J. W. (luernsey s
music store is, applied to the court
through the equity channel for an in
junction to plop the work of tearing
up the avenue. In the bill the reasons
advanced why the court should Inter
fere wer two: First, that the charter
and articles of association of the Val
ley Passenger Railway company, under
which the Scrantou Traction company
Is acting on u lease, do not give the
defendant the right to that part of
Washington avenue; second, that even
If the right was vested by the charter
and articles, yet the franchise was
void because of lapse eif time.
On Friday It was not clear to Judge
Archbald'thnt he would be Justified in
stopping the work, and he refused a
preliminary injunction, at the sume
time grunting a rule made returnable
yesterday to show cause why a prelim
inary injunction should not be grant
ed. The hearing wus set down for 10 a,
in., but was not begun until 1.30 In the
afternoon. Court stenographer W. P.
Coston was culled iu to take the testi
mony. AN ARK AY OF COl'NSEL.
Messrs. Kclley and Davit, ns on the
day previous, represented the plain
tiff, nnd the company wus again rep
resented by the following array: Kx
Judge W. 11. Jessup, Major Kverett
Warren, Attorneys I. H. Burns and
Horace K. Hand. General Manager
Frank Sillimun, Jr., tins present on the
part of the Traction company, and on
the other side of the room sat H. H.
Archer, who is deeply interested in the
Citizens' Street Railway company.
Assistant City Clerk Kvun J. Mor
ris was sworn as a witness. He had
with him the ordinance grunting th
Valley Passenger company right of
way over the streets named In their
charter, and also the subsequent or
dinance of Jan. lSita. which granted
the coniMHiiy un extension of time
until Jan. lt. 1WT. in which to con
struct the lilies.
(leiierul Manager Sllllinan was sworn
and told what Hie. company proposed
to do with the Washington avenue Im
provement. He described the route of
Ihe Suburban cars us coming In Wash
ington avenue and going out by wuy of
l.uckuwaiina and Washington ave
nues to Spruce street to Adams ave
nue. Mr. Archer was called as n witness
on the part of the plaintiff and gave
testimony concerning the purposes of
the company when he was general
manager, whenever the lines were to
be extended.
.R(iriNd Tiin: matter.
This was ull the testimony taken
and Mr. Davis began his argument
for an Injunction, lie was followed by
Mr. Kelley on the same plea.. The (ir-
gimieuts against the petition were
made by Judge Jessup, Major Warren,
Mr, Hand and Air. Hiirns. After hear
ing them all Judge Archbalil refused
the injunction, lie said it was not es
tablished that the defendant company
Is on the street without authority, but
did not care to pa.-'s linaily upon the
question until It could be more fully
presented and argued.
This is not the end of the case. H
will go on the equity trial list and
come up In November or at some later
term. Superintendent Robert F. Fox.
of the Tract ion conipuny, informed a
reporter of The Tribune that the
Washington aveiiue connection w ill In
laid, tin; poles planted, wires strung,
turnouts iu place, nnd the cars run
ning wlithin two weeks, providing lioth
ing unforseen occurs In the shape of
delay In the arrival uf building ma
terial.
If after the road Is built and In oper
ation Hie coin I should decide that the
Traction company, lessve of the Valley
Passenger company, has no right on
the street the truck may have to come
up.
AN APPEAL IS REFUSED.
Opinion of Judge (Imiiler ill the
I'rolliiughaiii Arcade Case.
Judge Cunster has refused to grnnt
an appeal from the judgment of Alder
man Millar in Hie Prothiiighum portico
case. Last .April Arthur Fi otlilnghum
began the erictlon of a portico In front
of the Arcade on Wyoming uvenue
Street Commissioner Kinsley ordered
him to stop and when Mr. Frothing
ham refused he was arrested on a war
rant sworn out before Aldel-inan Millar
alleging u violation of a city ordinance,
The uldennuii after hearing the caso
discharged Mr. Frothlngiuim for hicli
of evidence and an appeal was taken t
court. Judge (lunsler's opinion quash
ing the appeal is ns follows:
111 tile court of quarters sessions an HP
Plication was made on behalf of the cilv
of Seratiton for leave to appeal from the
decision or this alderman und nu tiling !
tition and ufliduvlt an appeal was allowed
It appears now from Ihe transcript of the
liilitenniaii's oucKet mat the ileremuiut
was urre.ited on a wariuiil Issued in the
nam- of the commonwealth for erecting h
structure on Wyoming avenue, contrary
to the provisions of mi ordinance of sa'd
city, approved the tenth day of April.
and Unit the defendant was discharged lor
lin k of evidence.
It is clear to us that this whole proceed
ings except the discharge of ihe defendant
were Irregular.
The alderman did right In illsrharslng
the defendant because thre wns no ehai-Ke
nKuinst him upon which he could be held
to bail or of which he could be summarily
convicted. If the action had been proper
ly brought then the application for leave
to appeal should have been made to the
court of common ph-us or a judge thereof
and not the court of quurter sessiohs.
We express no opinion upon the merits
nf the cuse becuuse it is not properly he
fore us.
The rule to quash the appeal is made ub
solute. COURT NEWS NOTES.

SAMPLES OF ASPHALT.
They Were Submitted by Dunn Brothers
to City Engineer One Not Satis
factory, Otber Not Yet Tested.
The critical moment in the usphalt
war will soon arrive.
Dunn Bros, completed the laying of
concrete on Monroe avenue their first
job In this city Friday afternoon, and
yesterday morning began spreading the
"binder," a composition of pitch and
broken stone, for the reception of the
asphalt cushion. City Engineer Phillips
who believes they propose to lay an
Inferior quality ot asphalt, upon learn
ing that the asphalting was about to
be commenced,- reiterated his former
notice that he would not permit the
work to be curried on.
The Dunn's sent buck word that they
were not laying any asphalt, as yet,
and that when they do start the as
phalting there would be no cause for
Interference on the part of the city en
gineer us they proposed to lay asphalt
that would meet the requirements of
their contract. This however, docs not
satisfy Mr. Phillip and the conse
quence will doubtlessly be, an Injunc
tion proceeding and lltigution such
as Wilkes-Harre has Just gone through.
The sample of asphalt llrst sent iu
by the Dunns was submitted to ex
perts by City Fnglneer Phillips and
their reports satlslled him that it was
an Inferior material of the quality
known us land asphalt, lie thereupon
notllied the contractors that he would
not allow them to lay the pavement.
They paid no heed to Ills notice fur
ther than to say that they would live
lip to the HpecitleutioliH of their coll
trust which me to furnish "pitch lake
asphalt or asphalt proven equally us
good." The Dunn'sc have submitted a
second sample of usnhult, which the
city engineer has not us yet had time
to test.
