At Thursday night's session of the building committee of the board of control It was unanlniouBly decided to award tlie bids for the proposed new schools as follows: No. !, Mulhern & Judge, $1,C5,"; No. 15, Conrad Schroe dcr, $20,411; No. 2S, tlreen Kldge Lum ber company, $2::,4l!Tr Last night when the type written copy of the commit tee's recommendations was passed around for the committeemen's signa tures four of them, Messrs. Carson, Welsh, Conrad and Casey refused to give to It their band and seul. This was a great surprise to Chairman Da vis and the other ttvo members of the committee, Messrs. Gibbons and Notz, but when the order of report of build ing committee was reached Mr. Davis read the award agreed upon Thursday night. Mr. Carson followed him with a re port from the majority of the commit tee recommending that tlie matter of awarding the contracts for tlie new buildings be postponed for six months, by which time the annual tax levy will have been made. There was a breezy bl't of parliamen tary wrangling which culminated In Chairman Jennings ruling that the question before the house -was u mo tion ninile by Mr. Wormser to defer ac tion on both majority and minority re ports until after the tax levy had been lliade. Mr. Notz tried to table It but fulled, and It passed by an almost unanimous vote. It was decided that any bidder thut cured to might with draw his bid and the accompanying check. 1 1 10 ATTACKED THE BOAItD. Folovslng this Mr. Notz secured the privilege of the floor and made a, lengthy speech attacking the board iu general and Mr. Wormser In particular for keeping the South Side out of Its much needed school. Mr. Wormser called him to order with the remark "the gentleman from the Nineteenth is making a harrangue which is not cred itable to himself." The gentleman from the Nineteenth wus made to take his seat. The finance committee reported as per instructions of tlie previous meet ing, a resolution piovldlng for the bond issue. It was dtawn up by the board's solicitor, Hon. 11. A. Knapp. It stip ulates that the Issue shull be for $120," 000 und shall bo known us the 1MI7 find ing loan. There are to be 120 coupon bonds of the value of $l,d00 each, forty to expire In 1992; forty in 1925 and forty In 1927. They are to bear AV per cent interest, the counons to be payable semi-annually, on April 1 and October 1. They are to be sold for not less than par and accrued interest. An additional tax or one-half of one mill Is to be levied annually to meet the interest and provide a fund for liquidat ing the principal. The resolution was approved by a vote of 14 to 1. NOT YET DEFICIENCY. Mr. Notz and Mr. Langan wanted to make provisions in the bond Issue for the $6,000 debt on the lots recently pur chased on Washington avenue flats and those purchased in the Second ward on which $3,000 Is still owing. Mr. Wormser explained that the com mittee did not include these debts be cause they do not fall due until next year and cannot legally be considered deficiencies. A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

LOAN ART EXHIBITION. Interest in It Continues to Grow Large Collection of Gems Is Surprise to Scrantonlans. This a It Is evident from the increasing at tendance at the loan art exhibition now being held In the board of trade build ing that the people1 of Scranton appre ciate urt. Last evening a large num ber of people came and went from the gallery. 11 Ik not possible to convey a proper Idea of the exhibit even though the description might be ex tended. One must visit the collection to form an adequate conception of its worth and merit. Tlie walls of the large store room are covered by the choicest works of art in the city. Few people realized that there were so many gems of art In this section as tills collection has brought to light. Tlie works of tlie Ital lun master fill a large space and tlie contrast between their style and tech nique and that of modern urtists Is the subject of comment as they hang side by side. Special attention must be called to "The Jefferson Democrat" of Hoy, "The Prelude" by Collgii, "The Hotlund Hull" by Howe, "Quiet Life" by Bought, "Prayer" by Wlgnnd, "Tlie Zither Play, ers," Scherer; "The Old Violinist" by Currnn, "Coast of Scotland," Klchards. These are only a few of tlie modern artists. Of tlie ancient masters the vis itor finds Corlgo, Coiido, Hogarth and Holbein, any one of which might be u subject for an extended article. Be sides the works of art there Is a very Inrge collection of curios und articles of special historic merit. Last evening the beautiful painting of Miss Brownscombe, "A Quiet Sub bath," loaned by Mrs. H. M. Boles, at tracted special attention, as did the "Kequiem of tlie Sea," by nought. Among the rare books and engravings In the collection loaned by Walter Dickson deservlnir special mention Is tlie set of Boydelle Shukespeuiean Plates, a very rare collection. A curi osity for lovers of horses Is "Marcum's Masterpiece," by ClerveaSe Marcum, muster of the horse to Queen Elizabeth. In one case Is to be seen tlie last let ter of John Brown, written by him In prison and loaned by Mrs. Cann; a plate from the collection of Napoleon HI; a check of George Washington for $200; a mummy of the Ibis, tlie suered bird of Egypt, un ancient book of Cey lon written on the llbre of a tree, the wonderful bending stone from India. These are only n few things that at tract the attention of tlie visitor. The exhibit is open from 10 a. m. to 1(T p. m. Admission, 25 cents. Next Tuesday afternoon pupils of the public schools will be admitted for 15 cents. All Who possibly can should visit the exhibition befor.o It closes. A Gentleman' Smoke, Roy Cigarros.
