Must Give Two Weeks' Notice When They Want to Quit. PINB FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY Tlio l'cnnlty Clnusc, However, I Stricken Oir, After Itolng Clinrnct crlzcil ns Illegal and Illdlculotis. Superintendent Howell Gets n 8500 Itiiiso In Snlnr)--illr. Jennings' Jiitllo I2xosc-Scliools Mill Close on Juno 18, as Originally Decreed. At the meeting of the school board two weeks ngo a discussion arose ns to what was tho proper system to be em ployed by a teacher In submitting- a resignation. The question was referred to tho committee on rules and at lost night's meeting the following was pre sented: Tho committee on rules rocommend that hereafter all resignations be placed In tho hands of the secretary at least two weeks beforo tho vacancy Is toioccur, tho samo to bo read at the next regular meeting of tho board and referred to tho teachers' committee. It Is further recommended that each teacher shall at tho tlmo of submitting her resignation also notify the controller of the ward to that effect, and tho super- Intendent Is hereby directed to notify tho teachers pf the action of the board. Any teacher falling to comply with this rulo Bhall forfeit two weeks' salary un less a good and sufficient excuso shall be furnished for such failure. In a tono of deep disgust Mr. De vnney moved to lay the amendment on tho table. A vote was taken and tho motion was defeated. Nays Messrs. Shires, Davis, Casey, Walsh, Jacobs, Schrelfcr, Langan, Notz, Gibbons, Jennings 9. Ayes Messrs.. Carson, Devaney, Worm ser, Welsh, Shacffcr, Barker, Langstnit 7. Falling to defeat the measure as a whole Mr. Wormser sought to strike ofC tho penalty clause saying It was Illegal and ridiculous. Mr. Barker said the whole thing was ridiculous; that a teacher could resign whenever he or she felt like It and the board could not lnltlct any line for It. Mr. Gibbons thought otherwise. The board was under contract with tho teachers and was liable for a year's salary If It dismissed the teacher with out what In tho eyes of the court would be good and suirtclent reasons. Tho board he though ought to have a right to penalize a teacher If he or she left tho employ of tho board without due and proper notice. Th'& penalty clause was stricken off despite the protests of Messrs. Oasey, Walsh, Jacobs, Langan, Notz, Gibbons and Jennings and then the remaining part of the report was adopted without opposition. Mr. Notz called attention to the fact that allowance had been made In tho estimates for a $30t raise In the super intendent's salary and advised that tho board proceed at once to order tho In crease as It could not, he contended, be legally done after June 1, when tho superintendent's next year began. It was finally decided after a lengthy de bate to authorize the Increase provided the board's attorney could see no legal obstacles. If the law against raising or lowering the salary of an official during his Incumbency applied in this case It is proposed to discharge the superin tendent, raise the salary of his ofhee and then hire him over again. Messrs. Welsh, Shoeffer, Jacobs, Schrlefer and Barker voted against the Increase. President Jennings, during the early part of the meeting, announced that three bills for books had been present ed to him for his signature, and that upon looking them up he dlscoverd that no orders had been Issued for them, under which circumstances hu would have to refuse to give them his approval. Mr, Langstaff, who was chairman of the text book committee, under the former regime, arose and stated that he had personally authorized the pur chase of the books in. question. Tho superintendent on one occasion came to him and etated that he needed tho books nt once, and on the strength of this he took the responsibility of auth orizing the purchase. Mr. Jennings, who tod scored the little point he started out to make, re marked that In that case, as long oh the books were accounted for, ho would certainly sign tho bills. The board decided to attend In a body the exposition of the work of the high and training school, to be given June 1, In the high school auditorium. Mr. Gibbons thought that Inasmuch s the schools were delayed a week In opening, they should be kept open a week longer than usual. No one elsa on the Moor thought bo, and tho schools will accordingly close June 18, as rec ommended by the teachers' committee at the beginning of the year. Mr. Davis brought up the matter of a retaining wall at No. 18, and Mr. Shires Introduced a resolution for the purchase of a lot adjoining No. 27, both of which were referred to the building committee. On the recommendation of Mr. Da vis, chairman of the building commit tee, the board decided to adv.ertlso for 2,500 more single desks. GOT A DOCTORED DEED. That Is Whtit Frank Whooloroi Oly pliant Alleges. The only case called before Judge Gunster In equity court yesterday was that between Frank Wheeler, plaintiff, and John and Catherine McAndrews, defendants. John J. Manning and O'Brien and Kelly appeared for Whee ler, and Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons and E. C. Newcomb for the McAndrews. "Wheeler alleges that ho bargained with the McAndrews for a lot in Oly phant, agreeing to pay $750 for it, pro viding ho should have also a strip of land along Its westerly side seven feet wldo and one hundred and fifty feet deep to be used as a driveway. A deed containing this provision was drawn up by O'Brien & Kelly In the presence of Mr. McAndrew and Wheeler and it was delivered to McAndrew that lie might take it to Jersey City and have his wife sign It. Instead of signing this deed they drew up- another one, it is alleged, which cut one hundred feet off the driveway and delivered It to Wheeler as the original deed. He built a store on the lot and had the rear arranged for, tho delivery of goods and when he started to run the driveway to the rear he discovered the alleged fraud which had been practiced upon him. He now seeks to havo tho deed re formed so that ho will get the full one hundred and fifty feet of driveway. Attorney Joseph O'Brien, who drew up the original deed, went on tho stand nnd swore that the one given to Whee ler was not the one he had drafted. "Tho plaintiffs attorneys do "not spell 'with' 'w-e-t-h' nor 'necessary' 'n-e-B B-o-r-y' " waa Mr. O'Drlen's comment. The plaintiff' sldo had not llnlshed at adjournment. , HAVE GONE TO EASTON.

Large Number of Additional Democratic L, Votes Will, from Present Indica tions, Dc Knocked Out. Twenty-threo witnesses were exam ined before the Dunmore election con test commissioners yesterday. Fred Kite, of the First district of the Third ward, voted on his discharge papers from the army and will have Ms vote thrown out. So will William Coulter, who voted on his first papers. Edward Kratts, thought he paid a tax to Col lector Charles Savage In 1895 but was not sure. Charles Weber, of tho First district of the'Thlrd ward, did not know wheth er or not he had paid taxes and Rich ard Angwln, of tho same ward and district, was In the Fame predicament. Unless they can throw a favorable light on the subject their votes will be thrown out. Others examined yesterday whose votes were found all right were T. P. Letchworth, Casper Hedgelman, Chas. Long, Charles Brod, John Flelght Peter Hodgen, Nelson S. Krotzcr, Ever ett Moore, Frank Miller, Fred Ntcker son, Charles Noll, Harry Winters, Arch Washer, James MoMullen, Harry La Bar, Walter Woodward and Friend Halluk. Charles Mowery, who was examined last week and marked doubtful because he could not produce his tax receipts, was recalled yesterday and presented the required receipt. His voto will stand. During their examination of wit nesses the contestants discovered Dem ocratic voters whose ballots were Il legal for reasons other then those al leged lu the original bill of particulars. For Instance a man might be attacked for non-payment of taxes, but It would be shown that he had paid taxes all right, yet was voting In the wrong dis trict. There were Just fifty such cases and In order to take advantage of these discoveries, the contestants yes terday, through E. E. Swartz, repre sented by Warren & Knapp, secured from court permission to amend their bill of particulars by adding the follow ing names and reasons for the dis qualifying of their votes: First ward, First district Patrick O'Boyle, papers: Thoiws Walsh and James QUI, voted under ace.

Peyton Taylor, a colored man whose breast is scarred from healed knife wounds, was tho one exciting individu al in the city yesterday. lie created two or thrco lively scenes and at 9.30 o'clock to cap the climax Taylor Jump ed through a window In Alderman Howe's offices on Lackawanna avenue to the sidewalk, a distance of Blxteen feet. Early In the morning a warrant was Issued from Alderman Millar's of fice charging Taylor with assault and battery on his wife. Tho warrant -was placed In the hands of Special Ofllcer Frank Egly. A few minutes after Egly left the ofllco Taylor came In, looked about In a wild way and then suddenly disap peared down the steps. He said not a word. Aftcrwurd Egly came across Taylor on Lackawanna avenue. The cotored man resisted and broke away from the ofllcer. Egly then sought tho tifslatance of Special Officers Cole and Yeomnns. The three ofllcers heard that Taylor was drinking In Hlgglns' hotel on Lackawanna avenue. They entered by way of a rear door. When Taylor saw them coming he tried to escape. Passing Yeomans, whom he knew, the colored man duck ed his head and "butted" Cole with all his force. Colo was hurt but ho threw his arms about the prisoner and after a struggle he was taken before Alder man Howe. Taylor was drunk and desperate. He pat with his back toward an open win dow facing Lackawanna avenue. When Alderman Howe said to the ofllcers: "You'd better take this man to Jail and lot him sober up " Taylor sud denly made a backward move and out he goes through the window, head foremost, miraculously to land on the sldewnlk on his feet. Yeomans rushed to tho window and yelled for the crowd standing around to catch the fugitive. A dozen nen pounced upon Taylor and In the struggle his clothes were nearly torn off. He was afterward taken to the cen tral police station where he now Is to await a hearing. THE CHILDREN'S FRIEND. Glorious Fun and Trollc Galore lor tho Young.

There Is also ample assurance that tho youngsters themselves will be recog nized and catered to, In a manner to add to the established list of holidays a genuine Children's Day, and one mer rily overflowing with healthful and harmless entertainment, Just such as the little folks can best appreciate and most enjoy.

Tho Scrnnton Trlbuno asks: "Is Scranton destined to supplant Pnter eon, N. J., as the metropolis of tho American Bilk Industry?" If Scranton treats nil responsible applicants as fairly and liberally ns she did tho pro prietors! of tho silk ribbon factory which has Just decided to locate there she Is likely to do so. By the way, there's tho difference be tween this city and) Scranton and this difference is the reason Scranton Is contlnunlly getting manufacturing plants when Bho don't deserve them any more than we do. The difference Is right here: An applicant for a loca- tlon and the encouragement of the in- I wnuueiiL ul u 01111111 in vjjtii nun ui iuvui capital Is first considered, here, ns a bunco steerer nnd compelled to prove his Innocence; In Scranton he Is taken for an honest man until tho board of trade find something to his discredit. It Is a fact that tho silk ribbon fac tory which Is going to locate at Scran ton also made a proposition to the proper trade organization In this city but it was completely Ignored and the oportunlty was lost.
