Knowledge of the present where

Woolbaugh, of Lafayette street, and
the other. Pension Agent Feeny, of
Washington, D. C.
Many' years ago James Woolbaugh,
a brother of George Woolbaugh, and
now deceased, lived at Smlthfleld,
about nine miles from Stroudsburg.
Ho was a veteran, having lost u. leg
in the civil conflict of 1861, und at the
close of the war secured both a pension
and position from the government. His
pension was only $2 per month and his
work was to carry the mails from
Stroudsburg to tho Marshall's Creek
postodlce.
He was also u farmer on a small
scalo and employed Thomus Fenner, a
good working and also looking young
fellow, to work for him. The family
comprised Mr. nnd Mrs. "Woolbaugh,
three daughters and one son. Mr.Wool
l'augh was absent during much of the
day, he making two trips of nine miles
each twice a day as a mnllcarrier.
On Aug. SO, 1SS3, his wife left home
ostensibly to visit her mother, who
lived about half a, mile distant from
them. She never returned and had not
been definitely heard of since. Neither
has the farm hand. Moreover, neither
has anything been learned as to what
became of Elllo, the baby of the fam
ily, taken by the mother when she left
home.
For nearly two years Mr. Woolbaugh
bunted for his recreant wife and his
child without success. Ho then took
unto himself another wife, who, with
her daughter, Is now living nt Anna
comle, near Stroudsburg. He had been
married but a yenr when he died. '
Ills pension, however, went on. The
two older dnughters and the one son
got their portion of It each month, and
Ellle's collected nt the pension depart
ment for her. Frank, the son, recent
ly graduated from the Harford Sol
diers' Orphan school, having reached
sixteen years, and Is residing with his
uncle, George, on Lafayette street.
The pension accumulation ha now
leached a substantial amount, and that
Is why Miss Eflle Is requested to make
herself known. Also that is why Agent
Feeny wants to know about her, for
If she never turns up the money re
verts to the government. Her two eld
er elsters nre married and reside with
their fnmllles at Spraguevllle, Pa.

EFFECT OF DECISION
ON SCHOOL BONDS
Will Make nn Issue ol Filly Thousand
Dollars Illegal.
AN APPEAL IS DEINQ PREPARED
If Supreme Court Woeldei to fix n
Hpoclnl Dnto lor Hearing It tho
Local Court War Not Grnnt Format
Writ of Ouster Tending the Docli
lon oi the Higher Court'-Legallty
ol Dorouch Honrds Will I'robnblr
Soon Uo Questioned.
David J. Itccdy, attorney for the
board of control, Is already at work
on the papers for nn appeal to tho
Supreme court from the decision of
Judce It. W. Archbald with reference
to tho quo warranto proceedings
ngnlnst the board of twenty-one direc
tors. Mr, Ilcedy doea not say that
the Supreme court will refuse to sus
tain Judge Archbald, he contents him
self by saying that they will have tho
highest court In tho Btate pass upon
the matter that tho exact legal status
of tho act under consideration may be
finally determined.
It Is not Improbable that the Supremo
court may consent to fix a Bpeclal date
for hearing arguments on the appeal
In view of It importance. If a spe
cial date is not secured tho caBe will
have to wait until February, 1S9D. the
Hint- when the general run of Lack
awanna county cases will be heard by
the state's highest tribunal.
There Is n well defined opinion that
tho local court will not grant a. writ of
mister against the hoard of twenty-one
If the Supremo court decides to hear
the case In the very near future. If,
however, argument will not be heard
until a year hence the court may bo
constrained to allow the wilt of ouster
upon proper application being made
for It.
One of the argumentfl presented by
Ex-Judge II. A. Knapp when the quo
warranto proceedings wero under con
sideration was that to set aside the
act of 1874 nt this time would work
great hardship and Injustice to per
sons who had purchased bonds of the
Scranton school district because the
declaring Illegal of tho net of 1874
might make It necessary to go back
to the act which provided four school
districts for the territory now embraced
In the city of Scranton which would
wipe the Scranton school district out
of existence entirely.
EX-JUDOK KNAPP'S FORESIGHT.
It Is probable that ex-Judge Knapp's
foresight saved the city of Scranton
from finding itself In Just such a pre
dicament nt this time. There is a
general state law making each city
a school district, but when the act In
corporating tho city of Scranton was
passed by the legislature It contained
a provision exempting It from the pro
visions of this net und allowing the
school boards of Scranton, Hyde Park
borough, Providence borough nnd Prov
idence township to continue their sep
arate existence.
This arrangement continued until
the act of 1874 wns passed, the one
which Judge Archbald on Monday de
clared unconstitutional so far as It
pertains to school districts. Then the
four districts were merged Into' one
without more ado nnd the Scranton
school district was created., and has
continued to manage the school affairs
of the city up to this time.
After ex-Judge Knapp became solic
itor of the board he saw the weakness
of the act under which the district
wns operating and fearing that some
such decision as that of Monday would
throw tho school affairs of the city
into chaos drafted a bill
which h.iH
passed by
the legislature of 18SD and
approved by Governor James A, Reav
er, lepeallng the act of 1S07 and Its sup
plement of 1876 so far ns It related to
providing four school districts for the
city. That put Scranton in the list of
cities coming dnder the provisions of
the general act directing that each city
shall constitute one school district.
The decision of Judge Archbald If
sustained by the Supreme court will
establish that from 1874, when the
Scranton school district was formed,
until 1SS9, when ex-Judge Knapp's re
pealing act was passed, hnd no legal
school body. The four separate boards
had passed out of existence and a
board directly In conflict with the city's
charter was acting. The actions of the
"lu "ii " i'im ui uiieeu
years win nave no legal standing it
the Supreme court says that Judge
Archbald'fi decision Is good law.
BONDS WERE ISSUED.
During that period $55,000 of school
bonds were Issued, which have not as
yet been redeemed. It is not likely
that the school district vould try to
avoid tho payment of them on this
technicality even If the courts would
permit It to do so. The school district
had tho benefit of the money realized
from tho sale of the bonds and the
courts would undoubtedly find some
wny of protecting the bond holders.
Ex-City Solicitor I. II. Burns, who
wns attorney for the petitioners in
the quo warranto proceedings, said yes
terday that there Is troublo ahead for
nearly all the borough school boards
hereabouts. Most of them are con
stituted as Is tho present bonrd of this
city by electing directors from each
wurd instead of six from the borough

It Is agreed by nlmost every person
Interested In the public schools of
Scranton that some kind of legisla
tion Is necessary that will pernllt the
schools of cities to be managed In a
different manner than are those of n
sparsely settled townships but the evil
of It Is that the legislature cannot be
looked to for relief. Men who have
given time nnd, abundant study to this
pioblem declare that It Is not possible
to frame any kind of relief legislation
that will successfully run the gauntlet
of the Supreme court. Tho constitu
tion Is tho snag against which relief
legislation will run and until the con
stitution Is altered legislation much
needed by cities of tho third clnss and
by the school districts of the state
generally cannot be obtained.
VIOLENCE CAUSED DEATH.
That Is What tlio Autopsy In Uodlz
Cnsn Demonstrated.
An autopsy performed by Coroner
Lo'ngstreet on the body of Andrew' Ro
dlz has revealed that his death may
have been due to Injuries Inflicted by
some person or persons unknown. As
related In The Tribune, Rodlz died In
the Lackawanna hospital Sunday night,
one hour after being admitted there
from the county jail. On Saturday he
had been committed to the latter In
stitution for drunkenness.
The pot-mortem examination of the
body showed that Rodlz died from peri
tonitis. While that was the immediate
cause of death, the primary cause was
a blow upon the abdomen. This rup
tured the capillary blood vessels of the
muscular structure. Peritonitis and
then death resulted. A bruise beneath
the skin cave moie outward evidence
of violence.
At the inquest last evening In Coro
ner Longstreet's olllce testimony was
given by Dr. W. D. Donne, jail physic
ian, concerning Rodlz's condition while
under treatment at the jail. The coro
ner explained the results of the au
topsy. An adjournment was made to
permit the procuring of evidence con
cerning Rodlz's movements previous to
his arrest. lie was dead drunk when
arrested. The police do not seem to be
In any way responsible for his death.
The injury to Uodiz may have been
caused by a kick, a blow or a fall. It
1 wns to determine, If possible, the ex-
nct cause of the Injury that the in-
quest wns adjourned. The jurors are:
Drs. Newbury and Webb, of the hos

KIMBALL
RIANO

L
Oreat musicians use KImballs. Ths
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I uso my Kimball piano tho
better I like it." Jean D6 Iteszko says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
