In voting on the report Mr. Darker stated Unit tho cutting of these teach ers salaries wns equivalent to asking for their resignations and he charact erized the net as n, cowardly trick. The report of tho committee in full, as read by Chairman Jnyno was as follows: Scranton, Pa., July 14, 1899. Tho high nnd training committee In recommending teachers for appointment nt tho high and training school, submit tho following report: Wo have carefully considered tho re. port of Superintendent Howell and tho statements of tho high school teachers made to your committee, copies of which havo been transcribed and placed in your hands. Dr. G. W. Phillips, though summoned on two different oecuslons, has failed to appear before your committee nnd an swer tho statement niado by Superin tendent Howell nnd the teachers of tho high school In regard to tho condition of the school during tho past year. Tho statements mndo-by Superintendent Howell that Dr. Phillips lias disregarded the lawful authority of tho superln tendent; that ho has Ignored resolutions adopted by this board governing his man agement of tho high school; that there Is no uniformity In crediting pupils for work dono In tho school, and that tho discipline of tl.o Bchool Is lax, much of which has been conllrmed by the cvi denco of tho teachers summoned befoio tho committee, aro before you without any statement or denial from Dr. Phil lips. NOT FULLY JUSTIFIED. Your committee, after mature dcllbcrn. tlon, havo decided that wo are not fully Justllied In asking for Dr. Phillips' dis missal, but in recommending his appoint ment, do so with tho distinct and posl tlvo understanding that ho Is to be gov erned by tho lawful nuthorlty of tho superlutandent nill tho resolutions of tho board of control tn his management of tho high school.

There was no discussion on Mr. Jnyne's motion to ndopt the report, but Mr. Barker.ln explaining his vote, made some tart remarks and Mr. Gibbons re sponded. "In voting no," said Mr. Barker, "I wish to go on record as saying that I consider this reduction of those teach ers' salaries as a most despicable piece of business. I can't understand how the committeo could do such a thing. It strikes me, It Is a very cowardly way of getting rid of a man. It is, to my mind, nnd will be generally re garded, as equivalent to asking for hU resignation. I wish to register my dis approval of it." Mr. Glbbbns said In reply: "I want to say that I, for one, don't regard the committee's action as equivalent to asking for Mr. Phillips' resignation. A salary of $2,000 Is enough for him. I thought so when he was hired and think so still. I havo no personul ani mosity for Mr. Phillips, and I do not know that the committee Intended this recommendation to be equivalent to asking for his resignation. I, for one, don't. But If It does mean his resig nationnow that you've dragged It out of me the district will not lose a great deal." Tho voto to adopt the report was as follows: Ayes Messrs. Shires, Francois, O'M.iI ley, Phillips, Cai-ey, Roche, SSeldlir, Schrlefcr. Neuls, Walsh, Jnyne, Jennings, Evans, Langan, Bchwass, Gibbons, Leo nard, Davis. 18. Nays Messrs. May, Schrlefcr, Barker.

A western college professor has been picked upon as principal for the high school In case Dr. Phillips does not accept. TEACHERS RECOMMENDED. Through Chnlrman Phillips tho teachers' committee made the following recommendations: That Miss Mary, Fltzglbbons be appointed principal of No. 10, In place of Mr. Cruttenden, transferred to thb high school; that Da vid Thomas bo nppolnted principal of No. 8, In place of Professor Beaumont, transferred to the high schol; that Miss Christmas bo transferred to Grammar C grade, In No. 23, In plaea of Miss Laurent, resigned; that Miss Estella McCulloch bo appointed to pri mary B in place of Miss Christmas, transferred, and that Miss M. S. Mof fatt be nppolnted to Intermediate grade, No. 23. Mr. Jennings cnlled attention to tho fact that a vacancy existed nt No. 10 and nominated Miss Harkln, a training school graduate for the place. With tho understanding thnt she was not to bo assigned to any particular grade until Superintendent Howell returns, the committeo adopted this Is a part of Its report nnd the report was then unanimously approved. Miss Fltzglb'bon Is at present assis tant principal of No. 16. Prof. Thomas Is a Scranton man and a normal school graduate. His patron Is Controller Nculs, with whom he formerly worked as a moulder at the ateel mill. Miss Christmas was In gj-ammer B grade in No. 23. Miss McCulloch Is a recent graduate of the training school. Miss Moffatt Is a re-ap-Dolntee. ' On motion of Mr. Jnyne, the salary of Miss Potts, secretary to Superin tendent Howell was Increased from $50 to $03 per month and Miss Meredith, assistant to Secretary Fellows, was allowed an Increase of from $35 to $30 n month. After a lengthy debate tho board decided to accept the offer of $2,230 for old No. 3 building, received from the congregation of St. Mary's German Catholic church, who wish to attach It to their parochial school, which it adjoins. EXTRA PAY FOR SECRETARY. A proposition by Mr. Barker to al low Secretary Fellows $15 and Miss Meredith $10 for extra work cntnlled by the high and training school com mittee's Investigation, was referred to that committee. Tho board conllrmed the text book committee's appointment of seven teachers to select the new text books. On motion of Mr. Evans, It was decided tn Introduce the study of vocal music In the schools and the "Normal Music Course" represented by Mr. Trask was adopted. Only material sulllcient for the primary grades Is to be purchased this year. Tho "mate rial" Is $1,500 worth of charts. After that comes text books for each grade. Mr. Trask dined the board at Zenke's after tho meeting. The building committeo recommend ed that the contract for erecting tho retaining wall and laying Hag walks at No. 32 school be awarded to S. Sykes & Sons, for $1,771; and, that tho secretary bo Instructed to advertise for bids to furnish the district with four hundred single desks and the nec essary number of rears, the bids to bo In at the next regular meeting, tho sum of $75 to be enclosed with each bid as a guarantee of good faith. The recommendations were adopted. The supply committee recommend ed the awrdlng of contracts for sup plying coal as follows: First district II. J. Gilmore, largo sizes, $2.40; small, $1.47. Second district Michael Gibbons, large sizes, $2.43; small, $1.C3. Third distrlct-M. J. Ruddy, large sizes, $2.43; small, $1.75. Fourth district James Flynn, large sizes, $2.G5; small, $1.50. The report was adopted, but not until after the board listened to what was possibly the most heated exchange of personalities that ever occurred in a public meeting in this city. THE COAL BIDS. captain May ana Mr. Evans ques- tioned the committee's action In award ing the contracts, contending that they had not gone to tho lowest and best bidders. Mr. Evans argued that the Consumers Ice company's bid of $2.18 for large sizes nnd $1.15 for small sizes for tho Third district, or West Side, was In tho uggregate tho cheapest bid, and produced figures to show that if the consumption of large nnd small sizes respectively would be the same as last year, the board would save $70 by accepting the Consumers' Ice company bid. No response was made to this. Captain May inquired as to whether there wasn't a lower bid In the Second district, or South Side, than that of Michael Glbons, which the committee proposed to accept. Chairman Roche, of the supply committee, replied that there was, but the bidders, Murray & Co., he was told, furnished poor coal. which had at one time been condemned by tho board, Captain May then went on to state thnt he was In a position to know that the Murray coal was entirely satisfac tory. He drew an order every month to pay for coal furnished by Murray and he had yet to hear the first com plaint about it. Mr. Gibbons took tho floor and re ferring to Captain May's speech ngalnst tho tearing down of No, 9 building, In RIDE' Tlie Scranton Bicycle $ BEST MADE. Bittenbender & Co. J Manufacturers. Vo 9?frs. Pinkham, gnn, 7Ifass LETTZK TO ll. rlNKHAU MO. 4t,K7 " DnAii Fme.nd A year ago I was a great sufferer from female weakness. My head nulled all the tlmo and I would get so dizzy nnd havo thnt all gone feeling in tho stomach and was so nervous nnd restless that I did not know what to do with myself. " My food did mo no good nnd I had a bad case of whites. I wrote to you and after taking Lydla E. Plnkhain's Vcgc tablo Compound as directed, I can truly say that I feel liko n new woman and cannot tell you how grateful 1 am to you. "I have recommended it to all my friends nnd have given it to my daughter who Is now getting along splendidly. May you llvo many years to help our Buffering sisters," Mns. C. CAltl'EXTEIl, S53 tillAND ST., BltOOKLYN, N. Y. Over eighty thousand such letters as this were re ceived by Mrs. Pinkham during 1897. Surely this is strong proof of her ability to help suffering women. which Captain May spoke of his com petency to Judge of tho expediency and wisdom of the proposed act, went on to say: "It may bo that he Is as com petent a Judge as ho Bays. If he Is a competent Judge of coal and has tha opportunity of knowing that this Mur ray coal Is well, If I was In his place I wouldn't get up and lie about it. I know us much about coal as ho docs and I say that when he says the Mur ray coal Is all right, ho Is making a misstatement." CAPTAIN MAY ON HIS FEET. There wns a breathless scene whten Captain May with ashen face and Hash ing eyes jumped to his feet to reply. He paused for a moment us If to collect himself and then In a voice that could bo called calm, considering' tho cir cumstances and with measured and de liberate utterances said: "I made the statement that I was peculiarly competent to Judge In that matter referred to nnd I will now tell why I am competent. I have no large property Interests hero nor has the company which I represent. For that reason there was no personal bias or business Interest to control me." Here Captain May's voice and man ner changed and turning towards Mr. Gibbons he proceeded in loud tones and with violent gestures: "I am the slave of no man. I do tho bidding of no man. I am free to net ns my judgment directs. I own no coal mines, nor nm I the brother, or brother-in-law, or fnther-ln-law or any other relation of any man owning a coul mine. I havo no relatives to bo nppolnted teachers or janitors and I havo never secured work from tho dis trict for a carpenter or a painter or anything of that sort. I'll leave It to tho citizens asesmbled her If I nm not more competent to act impartially than any man on this board. Why nm I not In a betetr position to net Impar tially than this man (pointing to Mr. Gibbons.) I will leave It to his em ployer, the man who owns him, whether or not Murray has not furnished satis factory coal to Elm Park church." GIBBONS ALSO MOVED. Mr. Gibbons was very evidently as greatly moved as Captain May, but he made heroic efforts to conceal it. "I like this. I like to stir up things once In a while, even If It is one of the eleven Spaniards (laughter). I have daughters who ure employed by the school district. That Is true. But they aro earning every cent they get-." Captain Muy "Who Is putting in this coal bid we have here?" Mr. Gibbons "My brother, and it is an honest bid." Then continuing in somewhat warm er tones Mr. Gibbons said: "I want you to understand that no man owns me, and (addressing Captain May) the man you say owns me Is too much of a man to own any man. Ho never Indicates to me how I shall vote or act and I have heard him say that the man who will coerce another man in his vote or interfere with his religion Is not (It to be a man. Any one who will refer to my employer as Captain May did Is a sneak and a coward. And he refers to my daughters being In the employ of tho board. He says he has no daughters to make teachers of. It Isn't my fault. He"l have to explain that." Captain May offered nothing In re ply and tho business of the meeting proceeded. THE GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE. It Waited Upon the Hon. William Connell Yesterday. A committee of miners from the Wil liam A. colliery nt Duryea waited upon Hon. William Connel nt his oUlce in this city yesterday and presented their allpged grievances for his consideration. The miners struck on Tuesday without acquainting Mr. Connell with the na ture of their grievances. Ho told tho committeo that If certain of the gtiuvnncesset forth by them were a3 stated he would promptly have them remedied. Others ho could not con Flder because they constituted a radi cal change In the manner of conducting tho colliery. Tho committee was much pleased with tho result of their interview and stated that they would recommend nt the meeting of tho miners when they present their report that tho sugges tions given them by Mr. Connell dur ing tho conferenco bo adopted and that they return to work.
