Professor Frank B. LIttell, who has
resigned as teacher of mathematics In
our hleh school, has been signally hon
ored In Washington. D. C. While still
teaching hero he was urgently request
ed by the commodore In charge of tho
naval observatory In an autograph
letter, to return to Washington nnd re
sume his position as one of the comput
ers In the observatory. By a special rul
ing of the civil service commission lie
was reinstated as eligible to appoint
ment. On account of his navy friends
and pleasant relations here, Mr. LIt
tell hesitated a long time, but so much
pressure from tho astronomers at
Washington, was lirought to bear upon
lilm that ho finally yielded. He has
since been promoted to position of chief
comnuter of the naval observatory. Mr.
LIttell has made a verv brilliant record
and Is considered ono of tho most rapid
computers In the country. Ho has elicit
ed favorable notice from the great Pro
fessor Simon Newcomb and other as
tronomers and Is considered a coming
man.
A bicycle on tho sidewalk stealing up
behind you like a malignant ghost Is
bad enough, but It has only two wheels
to wipe grease off on your skirts as It
passes, while a baby carriage has four
nnd is sure to run over your toea be
sides, causing you to Jump around like
a lunatic, owing to its aimless method
of locomotion. There is one thing
about a bicycle, it always seems to
have a definite aim and If you're a
pedestrian anywhere in the vicinity
you're reasonably convinced that it's
yourself.

Many people complain, nnd Justly, of
the terrible din made by the numerous

LIVELY SESSION OF
BOARD OF CONTROL
Members Made All Kinds of Charges
Against One Another.
DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN ORDER
Clinirninn Jennings Had to Sny Homo

of Order--! rnnlc 1,'ittoll Itcslgns
Ills Position ts n Dlombor of tho
Faculty of tho High Rchool--Con-trncts
lor Supplies Aro Awarded ns
Kccommcndcd Jly Committee.
To one who doesn't enre much about
tho reputation of the city of Scranton
last night's session of the board of con
trol would doubtless be very entertain
ing. It would bo painful to anyone
who might fear that the municipality
would be Judged from the actions of
some of the men who compose what Is
supposed to bo a body of Its represen
tative citizens. So turbulent did tho
meeting become at one time that Presi
dent Jennings In great Indignation told
them that they were not only unpar
liamentary but ungentlemanly, and
warned them In tones filled with mean
ing against further disorder and par
ticularly personalities.
The worst offender was Jlr. Notz, of
the Nineteenth, who was on his feet
nenrly all tho time, frequently speak
ing In a wandering and unintelligible
manner. The other members who par
ticipated cither of their own will or
from being provoked Into the discus
sion were not guilty of meaningless
mouthlngs, but many of them were al
most as bad as Notz In their person
alities. The report of tho building committee
recommending the appointment of Wil
liam Phllhln In place of John Conry,
as Janitor of No. 2 building In the
Twelfth ward provoked a defense of
the present Incumbent by Mr. Gib
bons and a personal onslaught on the
latter by Mr. Walsh, the controller
who seeks to remove Conry. Insinua
tions and counter-Insinuations led to
the disclosure that Phllhln, the nomi
nee. Is a brother-in-law of Controller
Walsh, and Controller Walsh got back
nt Jlr. Gibbons, who made the expose,
by saying that Conry was one of Gib
bons' ward heelers.
WANTED CONRY REMOVED.
Controller Walsh said he wanted
Conry removed because ho has been
working In the steel mill Instead of at
tending to the school, one consequence
of which was the destruction of eigh
teen windows, during the vacation time.
Tho accused Janitor was given the
privilege of the lloor and said that the
fact that Controller Walsh had per
sonally recommended a raise In his sal
ary should be sufficient evidence of
whether or not the accusation was Jus
tifiable coming from Jlr. Walsh. He
further said that Jlr. Walsh had given
him permission to work in the steel
mill, saying he might have his wife
nnd daughters attend to the school.
Tho windows would never have been
broken if Jlr. Walsh had not had the
screens taken down. He wound up by
saying thnt when he reported the
broken windows to Jlr. Walsh the lat
ter said: "I wish to they were
all broken; they are too small, any
how." Jlr. Walsh denied these two latter
statements. He also said he was satis
fled with Conry's work but was op
posed to his engaging in another busi
ness. The matter was referred to com
mittee. Bids for a fence at No. 19 school and
a stone wall at No. 23 provoked another
tilt of which the above Is a fair sam
ple. Jlr. Carson complained that Jtr.
Davis had awarded the contracts with
out consulting the other members-of
the committee. Jlr. Davis said Jlr. Car
son was mistaken and also some other
things. Mr. Gibbons said Jlr. Carson
wns lazy and neglectful. Jlr. Carson
said things were going In a high' hand
ed manner and so on. There were sev
eral such scenes during the course of
the meeting, but they would be tire
some to relate In detail.
The resignation of JIlss Emily Evans
(now Jlrs. E. E. Robathan) from the
Grammer A department, of No. 14,
and of Frank D. LIttell, professor of
mathematics at the high school were
received and were referred to com
mittee. MATTER OF APPOINTJ1ENTS.
Jlr. Schlefer wanted to have C. B.
Derman appointed music teacher forth
with, but a majority sent It to com
mittee. Jlr. Notz wanted a JIlss Jlorse,
of Brooklyn, named as drawing in
structor but Chairman Jennings ruled
the motion out of order on the ground
that the matter was before the high
and training school committee.
Tho teaoheis committee made the
following report which was approved
without discussion.
Scranton. Pa., Aug. 23, 1897.
Tha teachers' ccmmltteo present tho fol
lowing report:

m
MAIION AND LITTLE DISCHARGED.
I'lno Imposed Upon tho Kditor Ito
f it tided by Atdcriunn Mlllnr.
Jnmes J. JIahon, business manager of
tho Scrantonlan, who was arrested by
Chief of Police Robllng Sunday, wns
discharged by Alderman Jllllar yester
day nnd the fines collected from Rich
ard Little, editor, were refunded nnd
the proceedings quashed.
JIahon said yesterday that ho thought
ho had good grounds for an action for
damages In trespass against Chief Rob
llng. As stated In The Tribune yesterday
when JIahon wns arrested he called
In the services of Attorney James JIa
hon. The latter at once raised the point
that the arrests were Illegal, that the
law countenances arrests on Sunday
for high treason, felony and breach of
the peace only. Chief Robllng thought
that the "crying of papers on tho public
streets," would cover Little and Jln
hon's alleged offence, but nothing wns
submitted to Alderman Jllllar which
proved that the arrested men had cried
their papers. "They were simply dis
tributing them," said Alderman Jllllar
yesterday. He therefore discharged Ma
lum and gave n check to Little for the
costs collected Sunday.
JIahon did not directly say yestculiy
that he would bring action against
Chief Robllng. He attributes tho cause
of tho prosecution to rival Sunday news
paper proprietors.
WANTED AT HARRISBURQ.
Man Nnincd Cor inch Arrested Hero
Tor Itnislnc Checks.
Chief of Police Frank Robllng, Jr.,
yesterday arrested a man named Gor-
such, who Is wanted In Harrlsburg for
forgery. The arrest was mado at the
Hotel Jermyn, where Gorsuch had en
gaged a room. Word was received
here Saturday to watch for Gorsuch
who, it was known, had left for this
city.
The Information received from Chief
Weston, of Harrlsburg, over the long
distance telephone, was that Gorsuch
had raised $4 checks to $40 and $3
checks to $50. He had left word with
his friends to address him at the Hotel
Jermyn. Gorsuch wns missed at tho
station, but shortly after noon yester
day he was seen at the Hotel Jermyn.
Chief Robllng arrested him and took
the prisoner to the station house. Gor
such showed much nervousness, but
wns surprised at his arrest.
He disclaimed any knowledge of the
crime with which he Is charged. Gor
such Is well dressed and seems to have
plenty of money. He was very fearful
that the news of his arrest would reach
his wife who, he says, Is now confined
to a Philadelphia hospital.
Chief Robllng received a dispatch
from Harrlsburg late yesterday after
noon Informing him that an officer
would leave at S o'clock this morning
to take charge of the prisoner.
CASE WAS DISMISSED.
An rW-.Mnyor Arraigned for Selling
Liquor on Sundny.
Ex-Mayor JIntthew Loftus was dis
charged by Alderman Jllllar yesterday
afternoon on the charge of selling liq
uor on Sunday, preferred by John Bur
rows. The hearing had been postponed
from Saturday afternoon.
At 4.30 o'clock Jlr. Loftus arrived and
the case began. Burrows gave very
speclfio testimony. He had a note book
from which he was able to swear that
ho with others had purchased beer and
whiskey in Loftus' hotel at JIoosIc Jlay
9, 16, and 23; June C, 13, and 20. It was
brought out that Burrows' cru'ade
against Loftus was due to a former suit
before Aldermnn Howe when Loftus
sued for board. Alderman Jllllar dis
missed the case.
