Little Thing Like the l.niv Proved No Unsurmountnblo Obstacle. John J. Burke and Miss Elizabeth Boston, of the North End, found them selves In a rather perplexing predica ment, yesterday, when they applied to Clerk of the Courts John H. Thomas, for a marriage license. The young lady is but eighteen and without par ents or guardian. As a consequence no one could give the required consent. Love, however, can generally be re lied upon to find a way and this in stance was no exception to the rule. Attorney M. J. Walsh was appealed to and In an hour's time the girl's brother returned with papers certifying' that he had been duly appointed guardian of his minor sister. The license was forthwith granted and of course it Is appropriate to say they went away happy. MINER FITZPATRICK INJURED. Premature Explosion of n Blast the Canse of the Accident.

DETAILS OF UNPLEASANTNESS .Mr. t'ibbons and Mr. Jennings Call One Another Names During a Tilt Over the Placing of Fire Insurance. Report of Committee of the Whole iu the llo well Booth MatterXrs. Spurhuui's Statement. Last night's meeting of the board of Control furnished the liveliness and spice that has now become almost a regularly slated occurrence In that body. There wore two echoes to the Howell-Hooth case. One was tne aaop tlon of Friday night's secret proceed ings of the committee of the whole exonerating Superintendent Howell anu the filing of a "statement" from Mrs. Sparhutn, whose original affidavit re sulted In the recent airing of the case. Hut the Howell-Booth business was rushed through in a mechanical, per functory sort of way, leaving the life of the session to a warm aeoate ana How of uncomplimentary words be tween Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Jennings over the taking away of a large block of tire Insurance from Boland s agency T. J. JENNINGS, , . Chairman or Committee of the Whole who Presented Report In Howell-Booth Case. and scatterintr It -among eleven agen cies, and In a general skirmish concern ing whether new school buildings, Nos. 3, 6, 28 or 38 should have precedence In being erected The Boland agency got back Its In surance block of about $35,000 through the efforts of Mr. Jennings, and build ing ouerations will begin on the new No. 6 and on alterations to No. 20 schools as was recommended by tne building committee. Before the Insurance fight was over Mr. Jennings had called Mr. Gibbons a "sneak" and the latter naa retanatea by dubbing Mr. Jennigs a "little whelp," accompanying the remark with the as sertion that notwithstanding his (Gib bon's) advanced age he would do some thing else besides call names if the tilt was in the open air. The squabble was precipitated by Mr. Jennings' demand for a report from the insurance committee of which he and Mr. Barker are members and Mr. Gibbons is chairman. He stated that the Insurances' represented in policies expiring December 1, 8 and today in Boland's agency should be accounted for. Mr. Gibbons in response stated that the expired policies had been cancelled and the amount represented, about $35,000, distributed among eleven of the city's twenty-one agencies. He re marked that out of over $400,000 Insur ance the Boland agency had held over $100,000 worth which he thought was partial and unfair. Mr. Barker, of the committee, said he agreed with Mr. Gibbons' statement. MR. JENNINGS' POSITION. Mr. Jennings said that while he would agree to gradually reduce the amounts carried In the' agencies of C. G. Boland. Norman & Moore and others he would oppose any effort to wipe out any large blocks at one time as such action tend ed to put an agency In disfavor with the companies It represented and was an unwarranted sudden financial Injury to that agency's business. He moved that the expiring policies be renewed In the Boland agency and Mr. NoU offered as an amendment that the mo tion be tabled. Mr. Gibbons made a further statement In support of his action and In re sponse to his request Secretary Fel low, s read a memorandum" showing the eleven agencies with which the In surance had been placed in amounts of from $2,000 to $3,000 each. In order to permit freer debate Mr. Notz withdrew his motion to table. Mr. Jennings con tinued his argument for renewing the pclioies with the agencies In which they had expired. He warmed to his subject and linally exclaimed: "Minority or majority. I will not be a parly to having this board made the resort for carrying out some mem ber's personal spite. I say he (Mr. Gibbons) it a sneak and performs a dishonorable " "I won't etand that," exclaimed Mr. Gibbons, "from any man! I won't take any abuse from a little whelp like him! Snenk? Why, he's a sneak." He then said he would mirsue a different course, notwithstanding his advanced years, if the episode was taking place outside the building. Mr. Gibbons then became more pacific and stated he had not been actuated by personal motives in the Insurance transaction. He and his daughter, he suid. carried Insurance with the Boland agency and he had recommended to it more than one of his friends but he didn't want to be called "a sneak," cither, he concluded. Mr. Jennings' renewed his motion to reuev the policies and Mr. Gibbons of fered nn amendment to table. The amendment was Sost by a vote of 7 to as follows: Ayes Sharar, Wormser, Schaefer Schrlefer, Barker, Notz. Gibbons. Nays Francois, O'Malley, Davis, Casev Devanney, Conrad, Walsh, Jennings, Langan.

The first business of the meeting after roll call and the reading of the minutes was the report of the committee of the whole by Its chairman, Mr. Jennings, on Its finding In the charges made against Superintendent Howell by Mrs. Boom. Mr. Jennings' report was typewritten and occupied three and a half pages of legal-cap paper. The report In its In troductory paragraphs referred to the proceedings of the meeting of Nov. 23 when Superintendent Howell's state ment was read. It was at that meeting mat tne ngnt was made and which adjourned to last Friday evening. Af- ter reviewing the beginning of the lat ter session and the excluding at report ers and other spectators Mr. Jennings' report makes public the proceedings a. follows: , Mr. Welsh moved that the action of (he board taken at the last meeting calling for the reading of the testimony be reconsid ered. The chair declared the motion out of order. Mr. Welsh appealed from the decision of .the chair. Mr. Sohrieffer the same, and upon roll call the ehair being sustained by a vote of eleven for and nine against. NAMES OF WITNESSES. The secretary proceeded to and read the testimony of the following persons who were sworn before the high and training school committee: it?, tlllia Sparham (page 1), Mrs. Prime ipuge 14), M. A. Sic Ginley (pages 25, lusi). Mrs. Mary Saun ders (page 2ti). David Saunders (page 31), Dr. Coolidge (page 35), Dr. Anna C. Clarke (page 3H, Dr. Louis Frey (page 44). Mrs. Lucy Booth (pages 52, Kl), Kexford Booth (pages .', 85), Huury Schloss (page W), Superintendent George Howell (pages 1"). 115), Mrs. Capwell (page 117), Mrs. Bridget Walsh (page 118). At the conclusion of the reading of the testimony Mr. J. H. Williams offered the following written resolution: "Resolved. That after having heard the reading of the evidence taken at the in. vestigation of the charges against Mrs. I.u. y Booth, and having fully and care, fully considered the same, we find that the conduct of Professor George Howell, the city supeiintendent, was not only Jus tillable under the circumstances of the case, but was highly commendable. "We Hud that Professor George Howell's action in the matter was taken by him w ith a view of performing the duty which devolved upon him under the provisions of the law and his oath of office, and which the best interests of the school demanded. That any Imputation of Improper motive on his part is entirely without uny foun datlon in fact, and entirely uncalled for und enjustiriable." A motion was made bv J. H. Williams, seconded by Mr. Notz. that the resolution be adopted, and the same was unanimous ly adopted. Mr. Barker moved that the secretary be Instructed to place all the testimony in a sealed package and file it away among the paper of the board, the same not to be opened or the testimony referred to at any time In the future without a vote of a majority of the board, and no one to have access to the testimony without a vote of the board. The motion occasioned much discussion and difference of opinion. Mr. William offered an amendment that the testimony should be Hied away un sealed, the members to have access to It. The following substitution was offered: "Resolved. That the testimony as read shall be placed in the files of the secre tary's office, the members to have access to It, but only in the office of the secre tary; Is not to be' taken away, or any part of the same copied." Substitution as offered was carried. Mr. T'urkT dissenting. Mr. Wormser moved, Mr. Devaney seconded, that the commit tee rise and report to the board. The mo tion prevailed. THE REPORT ADOPTED. Mr. Jenings moved the adoption of the report, and that action was taken Without debnte. The statement from Mrs. Sparham was left with Secretary Fellows by u boy who evidently knew his business. He made his apearance early in the session and placed a package of manu script on the secretary's desk, after uotng wnicn he hurried from the room. Mrs. Sparham's case was settled quick ly and unceremoniously but with a slight mistake at the beginnig which was rectified later. Under the order of business Involv ing communications Secretary Felows re id Mrs. Sparham's letter. She had written a request that the statement accompanying the letter be read. Both letter and statement were referred to the teachers' committee, but Just be fore adjournment on motion of Mr. Francois the matter was reconsidered and Mrs. Sparham's letter and state ment were ordered filed. A copy had been furnished the press with the un derstanding that it was not to be used In case the statement was not read. Mr. Jacobs, for the building commlt tee.presented with Its recommendations plans for the new No. 6 school and for extensive alterations to No. 26. When was made a motion that the report be adopted Mr. Gibbons registered a de cided objection. He first wanted to see better school facilities provided In other sections of the citv, on the South Side and in his ward, for instance, where pupils were packed Into basement an nexes like so many sheep. The pro posed new No. 38 school, he claimed, ought to be planned at once. Mr. Conrad was another pronounced opponent to the report. He claimed that a new No. 3 school had been prom ised precedent over either the new No. 6 or alterations to No. 26 schools or to a new No. 38 school In Mr. Gibbon's ward. In no other ward were the ac commodations for scholars so inade quate or so unsanitary as in his ward, the Eleventh. in order to pacify Bomebody a recess for five minutes was taken on motion of Mr. Jennings. CONSERVATIVE POLICY. When the meeting reconvened Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Conrad disputed the needs or one another's districts, while each united in opposing the commit tee's recommendations. Then Mr. Williams invited a hot retort from Mr. Gibbons by advocating a conser vative policy and suggesting that he and Mr. Conrad wait for Improvements In their districts until funds were avail able. "Oh. that's an easy suggestion from you and Mr. Jennings and some oth ers from wards that were not a part of Suranton before the consolidation. We've built elegant new buildings f jr you and now you want us to wait nnd meanwhile keep our people's children studying In cellars, cellars so foul aired that we have to shorten the sessions In order to give scholars a chance to breathe." Mr. Conrad and Mr. Gibbons advo cated the issuance of bonds If next year's appropriation was not large enough to meet the expense necessary for new buildings.. The report was, however, adopted by a viva voce vote. T maluka tribe. No. 72, Improved Oi - of Red Men, was granted per mt yn to give a tlag to No. 27 school. A hltects' contract estimates of $2,50j and $2,000 were ordered paid, re spectively, to K. S. Williams for work on No. 23 school and to the Green Ridge Lumber company for work on No. 10 school. Proposals for furnishing curtains for No. 16 school were referred to the sup ply committee. The lowest bid was that of $135 by Slebecker & Watkins. An adjournment was made until Monday night of next week, when the December pay roll will be approved in order that teachers and janitors may be paid before Christmas. Meals nnd Cold Lunches.

HIS BODY BURIED IN THE WOODS Husband Enraged by the Conduct or His Wife Killed Her Lover with am Ax and Then Succeeded in Wiping Out All Evidences of His Crime. Name of the Murderer is Not Known. "Did vou ever hear," said Dr. Adam Stcgner, of Rend ham, yesterday to a Tribune reporter, "that a man was murdered within a vear or so at Aus tin Heights, his body buried some where ui the side of the mountain, and the persons Implicated In the mur der were never discovered?" This storv was widely circulated in Old Forge recently. There are ma.ny people down there who believe the story is not by any means an Invention. Austin Heights Is the fag end of this county on the west. It is situated In Old Forge township well up on the side of the mountain and is peopled mostly with Hungarians. Drunken brawls by the score huve taken place and upwards of one hundred men have been beaten almost to death. It Is nothing strange after pav-day each month for doctors to. be callil to the place to patch up a half dozen men who have been wound ed In a fight. In view of the remoteness of the set tlement from the built-uo portions of Old Forge occurrences of a law-breaking character pass off without notice very often. A few years ago the Aus tin Coal company built a breaker a mile or so above the Sibley on the Bide "of the mountain. Houses were built In the vicinity of the works and were tenanted by few families except Hun garians. This left the field clear to them and as a small percentage only could talk English, their doings sel dom became noised about. KILLED WITH AN AX. The story of the murder Is to the ef fect that a boarding house keeper dis covered his wife one night in a com promising position with one of the boarders and that he crept quietly out of the house to the yard, secured an ax, went back to the house and sunk it into the boarder's head. His wife was the only witness of the deed. The blow killed the boarder and his life blood covered the floor. The husband's brother was aroused by the commotion and he set to work to assist In carrying the dead body to the woods and helped to dig a grave In which the remains and the blood-stained clothes were buried. There was no evidence of the crime when the other boarders got up in the morning. The woman had the house scrubbed and the blood stains had dis appeared. But the boarder's absence aroused suspicion after a few days, and one of his friends began to inves tigate the cause of his disappearance. About the time he was gaining evi dence to clear up the mystery, the boarding boss got after him and threat ened to kill him if he ever said a word intimating that a man had been killed. The friend feared that the threat might be carried Into execution, so he decided that the safest course to pur sue was to leave the place altogether and hie hlmselt to some distant place. Before he left, however, he told the story and It soon became widely circu lated. He failed, however, to give the name of the man that did the killing. STORY GENERALLY BELIEVED. Whether any detective work was ever done on the strength of these rumors Is not known. The story is generally credited In the vlclnltv and It Is easy to understand how such a crime could bo committed at that place and a knowledge of It kept from the com munity at large, especially where the circumstances surrounding the killing were so well calculated to induce secrecy. . CAP0NE SAT UP YESTERDAY. His Would-Be Murderer Has Not Yet Been Captured. John Capone, of Raymond court, up on whom the murderous attack was made Sunday evening by Clncenzo Rossi, the shoemaker, was able to be out of bed yesterday. Rossi did not go toward the West Side when he committed the attempt at murder. He went toward the South Side and sought shelter from an Ital ian living near the Erie, and Wyoming Valley railroad. The Italian refused to let him In, and then he went toward Pittston where a brother Is living. Pa trolman Victor Sartor went to Pittston yesterday but failed to locate Roesi. Capone will be around In a week, but the wound will leave a large scar on his face. HIS NECK BROKEN. James linnnon, of Olyphant, Caught I'nder n Slab of Roof. James Eannon'9 neck, was broken yesterday morning by a fall of a slab of roof In No. 2 shaft of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company ut Oly phant. He was a car runner and is 17 years old. He was broucht to the Lackawanna hospital and an operation was per formed on him by vt. McGrath and Andrews. They removed two of the vertebrae of the spinal column from his neck, these two bones having been crushed and pressed against the spinal cord. The lower part of his body Is paralyzed. His recovery is not expect ed. ' BLACKT0N OF THE JOURNAL Shows and Tells How Newspaper Cartoons Are Made. . At the monthly rally of the Railroad Young; Men's Christian association last night a pleasant and Instructive en tertainment was given by J. Stuart Blackton, cartoonist of the New York Journal. His description of the manner of making newspaper caricatures and his exhibition of the work Itself was provocative alternately of resounding applause and uproarious laughter. It was amicuit to decide which predomin ated the artist or the humorist. The members of the association en Joyed a luncheon after the entertain ment. OETTINa DID NOT BUY THE RING. But H.
