NOTICE OF THE ATTACK.
A communication from tho board's
solicitor, H. A. Knapp, gave formal
notice of the quo warranto proceedings
In court, brought by John Jermyn, to
determine the board's right to exist os
a body containing ono member from
each ward Instead of six members at
large as previous to tho act of 1S7I,
which, by two learned lower court
judges, has been declared illegal. On
motion of Mr. Gibbons, seconded by
Mr. Devanney, President Jennings was
directed to appoint two members In
addition to himself to act as a. com
mittee to secure additional legal coun
sel to nsslst the board's solicitor If such
action was deemed necessary. This
motion prevailed only nfter consider
able opposition and counter motions
by Mr. Uarker and Mr. Schrlefer who
wanted the matter of additional coun
sel left to the discretion of Mr. Knapp.
President Jennings appointed on the
committee to act with hlirihClf, Messrs.
Schrlefer and Gibbons.
The building committee presented tho
following:
We recommend tho purchaso of three
lots located on Fllmore as-onuc, in the
Fourth ward, said lots being each 30 bj
ISO leet, and tho price $1,100 per lot.
We recommend that John A. Duckworth
be instructed to prepare plans for a 12
room building to take tho place of No.
3, tho cost not to exceed $2,000 per room.
Mr. Walsh saw no necessity of a
new building In the district mentioned
inasmuch as no Information to that ef
fect had been received from Superin
tendent Howell or, previously, from the
committee. Mr. Uarker disapproved of
buying lots for building purposes un
til provision had been made for new
buildings in the Tenth and Seventeenth
wards.
Mr. Davis, chairman of the building
committee, nnd Mr. Gibbons advocated
the purchase of the lots which are on
tho westerly side of Flllmoro avenue,
between Swetland and Pettebono
streets. The site, they said, was an
Ideal one, and a new building was ab
solutely necessary to relieve the over
taxed old No. 19 building, which had
been condemned and had only two
rooms and three teachers to accom
modate tho 200 pupils, On motion of
Mr. Barker, action wns postponed un
til the next meeting.
NEW NO. 3 BUILDING.
A year ago the board entered Into a
contract with Architect Duckworth to
prepate plans and specifications for a
ll-room new No. 3 building In the
Eleventh ward, payment for the work
not to bo made until 1S9S. On recom
mendation of the building committee
last night tho architect wns directed
to prepare plans for a twelve, Instead
of a 35-room structure.
Before Mr. Notz resigned and made
his formpl speech of adieu, he said he
had ono request, a last request, to
make. It was for an electrlo bell for
No. 10 building. The request was re
ferred to committee.
After Mr. Notz's resignation wns ac
cepted, on motion of Messrs. O'Malley
and Devanncv, the retiring controller's
t-on, Alfred It., was elected, on motion
of Messrs. Gibbons and Lnngan, the
former "ouchlng for tho Junior Notz's
character and fitness for the trust,
lie was elected unanimously, Mr.
AVelsh not voting. Later In the session
tho new member was sworn In by Sec
retary Fellows. It wns voted to close
tho schools on Friday, as well as on
Thanksgiving Day.
As it Is desired to open Nop. C and
13 buildings on Monday, It wns decid
ed to Inspect them Thursday afternoon,
but the board slipped a cog somewhere
by not providing for a meeting of the
board meanwhile. This point escaped
the controllers In tho opposition of a
few of them to doing business on a
holiday, and their efforts to havo the
Inspection made tomorrow afternoon
and tho building accepted at a special
meeting tomorrow evening.
Just beforo adjournment, President
Jennings said that some uniform rules
should bo adopted In reference to tho
display of Hags at such buildings as
were In possession of the national col
ors. The matter was referred to a com
mltteo of three, on motion of Mr. Bark
er, tho president appointing Messrs.
Barker, Langnn nnd Davis.
Curd ol'ThnuliK.
E. W. Itobathan. of the Sibley, de
sires to return his sincere thanks and
appreciation to the many kind friends
who assisted him In his recent bereave
ment In tho loss of his dear wife, and

of their feeling by lloral offerings,

MUSIC STORE ENTERED.
Burglars Take Money and Musical In-
slruments from Powell's on W yom
ing Avenue" Way They Entered.
Burglars secured two cornets, several
opera glasses and about $S In money
at L. B. Powell's music store, on Wyo
ming avenue, some time after dark
Sunday or early yesterday morning.
Thero wns ono Incident in the Job
which might have panned out Into a
story, creditable to the genius of Conan
Doyle.
It concerns n couple of wires which
enter the store room through n win
dow on the north side, facing St. Luke's
Episcopal church. Through this win
dow the burglars entered the building.
Just what time this was done is not
known, but nt C.15 o'clock Sunday eve
ning something happened In the ofllces
of the Western Hilton and Postal tele
graph companies, which, It tho op
erators "only knew," would have
landed somebody In the police station.
The two wires entering tho window lu
Powell's had been tampered with.
Tho burglary, presumably, fearing
that tho wires were attached to some
trap or alarm, which would go off
when an attempt to raise tho window
was made, cut the wires beforo pro
ceeding with their work. Not being a
burglar alarm, but ordinary "mes
senger call'' servants. tl two
wires caused bells to ring in the two
telegraph ofllces announcing that there
was an open circuit somewhere.
Immediately ni'-n were sent out to
locate the break. These men li'unted
for several hours, but fortunately for
tho burglars tho quest was unsuccess
ful. It is wholly probable that nt tho
very time the telegranh mpn were
skirmishing about the Powell musical
stock was being diminished.
The burglars broke In a pait of the
glass, enough to Insert an arm, and
then lifted the catch. Entering the
olllco they broke open a drawer in a
desk close to tho window. Nothing
was taken here. After this the mis
creants tore open u cash drawer and
secured a single dollar. Leaving Uie
ofHce, several unused casli drawers
were pried open and the noxt attack
was made on tho cash register. Six
or feeven dolbirs were taken from It.
Two cornets were taken from tho
cabinets. Ono was nlcklo, the other
was brass. The whole booty Is valued
at about J30.
A good point about the burglary wns
tho lctovcry of a clieel: for SO which
mysteriously disappeared about a year
ago. The check had slipped unJer tho
cash register and was found on the
lloor where It had been dropped na
usi'loas by tho burglars. Tho check is
still sood for Its face valu. Two years
ago Powell's store was burglarize!
before.
II0RAN BADLY INJURED.
Held t'p by Highwaymen at the
IMioonix Breaker.
James Horan, who resides a short
distance noith of Plttston junction,
was robbed of his month's pay near tho
Phoenix breaker Saturday night. Tho
highwaymen kicked and beat him un
til he was unconscious.
When he recovered consciousness lie
proceeded to his horns and Dr. Pier,
of Avoca, was summoned to attend
him. Ho found Horan !n a serious con
dition. His face and eyes were black
and blue, his head was covered with
bumps tho size of a hen's egg and lie
had teveral black and blue bruises
about tho chest and body that were
very painful.
There were also numerous cuts about
the head from which blood ilowed free
ly. Tho doctor feals certain that none
of the Injuries will prove fatal, unless
Internal Injuries should take a turn
for tho worse.
