TO REPLACE OLD HOOKS. The only recommendation the board adopted was the substitution of tho Revised Torbell's Language lessons for the old edition. The book wns re vised by the publishers. Ginn & Co., to meet certain suggestions made by Superintendent Howell. All of the old books now on hand are to bo replaced without expense to tho board. A recommendation was adopted that "Raub's Stepping Stones to Lit erature" should be added to tho list of readers but as there Is nr such book the recommendation falls flat. Tho books which the advisory com mittee wanted replaced wero Miners' arltmetlcs, Swinton's spellers. Town send's civil government and Vall's writing books. One of the controllers who was in (sympathy with tho report of the advi sory committee has furnished the fol lowing statement: "In looking over the list It will be seen that the only new readers added are the "New Normal" by Prof. Raub and the "Stepping Stones to Litera ture." This will entail no additional expense, for tho reason that they are compelled to use readers In the city of Scranton and that the books were to be ordered for those that were needed for this year. "No change was made in the geogra phies. In tho grammars a change was made from the old edition of Tarhell's Language Books to the revised edition. This edition of these books could be ordered this year and displace the old books, gradually, entailing no ex pense. COMPLETE CHANGE. "In the arithmetics, the teachers rec ommended a complete change, believ ing fully that the books recommended would be far superior to those already In use. The histories they made no change In. In the matter of physiolo gies they recommended the same book in use, but recommended a change In the system of writing. "It was claimed at the board meet ing last night that this change would cost from $11,000 to $17,000. In conver sation with a number of book agents It was understood that a full change of all the books In the city of Scranton could be made for $10,000 or $12,000. A wholesale change was never thought of. "The meeting of the teachers' com mittee was secret and they acted on the merits of the books. It Is an in justice to the teachers of this city to have their report turned down In the manner that It has been. I believe that the teachers are better abl to judge tho merits of text books than the controllers, for the reason that they are using the same, and that they had these samples submitted to them, have gone ovi r them carefully, and are fully capable of judging as to the merits of the different books. When a text book has betn in use for three vears It is nearly worn nut, and It would be cheap er for tho board lo adopt a new text ' tiiilr 'ia tar tf 111 nflac ttui ovnlrintliin 'IUIMI, 110 VIII.J IT it U l IV till-- i;AlIUblUII I of three years have to purchase neaily as many to supply their present needs as they would If they did not make a change. Tly making n change the pub Ushers allow a greater discount and take all the old books off the hands of the board, which saves considerable expense. Till; EFFECT. "If the teachers In the city of Scran ton arc not allowed to recommend the books that they desire, and be sup ported by the board, it will amount to this: That no matter how gool a book may be It v.ill not be recommended to the board under the present con ditions, and that the old text books that havo been In use for the last ten, liftecn or twenty years will be con tinued In use and the children of tho city will not have the benefit of the new Ideas embraced In the new publi cations. "I feel that If the board wanted to act conscientiously In the matter of adopting text books, that the report of the advisory committee of teachers should have been adopted, considering that Instead of tho expense of $17,000 It would havo been only an expense of $4,000, and thoso hooks would be continued In use for tha next three years and the board would not have to purchase any more of tho same, books for thai period, thereby giving new books, practically at iio expense." There is talk of n npeelal meetl'ig or the board being called this wools to reconsider tho action on tho text book matter. This depends altogether on whether or not a majority can be e- cured to support thp recommendation of the advisory committee. VANDLINQ AND A ItOBBEK. They Had an Exciting Struggle on the Steamer Shlnnccock. Ex-Postmaster Frank M. Vandllng had an exciting experience while on his recent visit to Shelter Island. Mr. Vandllng haB been spending some time at the Mnnhanset. nnd going thither took the customary delightful water trip from New York on tho Shlnnccock. Last Tuesday night he was roused from tho more or less ivstles slumber which the traveler secures In u stateroom berth by a stealthy sound near the foot of his couch and tho next moment re alized that a man was climbing In the window. Hi; sprang out nnd grappled with the Intruder, who hud evidently not count ed on waking an athlete of rather gigantic proportions, but who struggled vigorously In Mr. Vandllng's grasp. The latter overpowered his unwelcome visitor and, pushing him to the taffraU, was strongly Inclined to illng him over board, Indeed declaring such to be his Intentions. The robber begged plte ously for his life and was finally deliv ered up to the ship's authorities. One of the regulations placed In all staterooms warns the occupant to close tho window upon retiring or leaving tho room, but the average Bleepor objects to the Idea of asphyxiating in such narrow quarters and usually takes the risk at night. On this occasion one of the deck hands had climbed In from the deck, which Is an easy feat. ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. Edward Steludel, of South Scranton Sent n Bullet Into His Brain Last Night He Will Probably Die. Edward Stelndel, n man r,2 years of age, made a determined effort to end his life by sending a bullet from his revolver Into his forehead., at his home on Pear street, near Irving avenue, tit .".30 o'clock last evening. The act was committed In the yard of his home. Ills wife, who witnessed the deed, ran to a neighbor's house and sum moned help. Stelndel, when picked up, was un conscious, and was a mass of blood. Dr. John J. Walsh was called and latter Dr. Mauley arrived. They made an examination of the' wound, and made an effort to locate the ball. Ow ing to the man's condition It was de. elded to let him rest and If he surviv ed the night, which wns considered im probable, a further examination would bo made today. It Is thought hat the bullet Is lodged at the base of the brain. To a Tribune reporter, who called at the Stelndel home last night, the fam ily stated that there was not any rea son known why the father wished to end his life. For several weeks he has been ill and despondent, and told his wife and children he .Intended to end his career. Heing In comfortable circumstances they assured him that the remainder of his days could be parsed In case. During the past few days Stelndel acted as If he was becoming Insane, and his family were strongly consider ing having him examined, and placed In the Hillside Home Tie was sinking rapidly at midnight, and was still unconscious. ENTERTAINED AT THE HOME. Commendable Act of n Bevy of Thoughtful Young Ladies. An entertainment consisting of mu sic and recitations was given to the "Old Ladles" nnd children of the Homo for the Friendless last night. The participants were: Ada Von Stofch, Mary Morris, Ethel Cooper, Grac.) Merrlam, Leone Fnrnham, Clare Slocum and Luclle Multer. The young iadies were under the di rection of Mrs. William Bright. After the entertainment refreshments were served to the Inmates and before leaving for their rooms all sang "God Bo With You 'Till Wo Meet Again." PRINCIPAL SYKES RESIGNS. Head of the Training School to Give Up Teaching. Miss Mary E. Sykes, principal of the Scranton Training school, has resigned. Her resignation Is now in the hands of B. T. Jayne, chairman of the High and Training school committee, and will be transmitted to the board of control at the next meeting. Miss Sykes' reason for resigning is that she proposes to give up teaching. Her successor has not as yet been picked upon. TRUSTEES IN BANKRUPTCY. Approved in the William Gray and Hendrickson Bros.'

WITNESSES WERE CAREFUL It Wns Difficult to Extract Any In formation from Them Verdict That Was Returned by the Coro ner's Jury Throe Generations of tho Gallagher Family Are Now in tho County Jnll Charged with the Murder Indications Point to the Guilt of tho Women. The person who throw the stone that ended the life of James Qulnn, sr., near Carbondale, Sunday, is still unknown. Mrs. Paul Dempsey, her daughter, Mrs. John Gallagher, and the latter's sons. Joseph and Thomas Gallagher, aro In the county jail, charged with the kill ing. There is probablytno parallel case In tho history of the country whore thieo generations of tho same family were placed under arrest for participa tion In a murder. Coroner J. J. Hoberts and, his Jury met last night In the office of Alder man S. S. Jones at Carbondale and heard testimony with reference' to the killing of Jnmes Qulnn, sr., at Pow derly's mine in Carbondale township on Sunday afternoon. The Inquest did not throw any great amount of light on the killing for the reason that tho witnesses examined almost without ex ception absolutely refused to tell all that they know about the affray. They were very reluctant witnesses, all of them being neighbors of the Qulnns and the Gallaghers, who wero mixed up In the row which had such serious con sequences. The story of the killing as gleaned from the testimony of the witnesses Inst night, supplemented by Informa tion from other sources, Is as follows: James Qulnn, jr., lives In a house ad joining that occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John Gallagher In Carbondale town ship. Gallagher's household consists of himself and wife and their two sons, Joseph, aged 24, and Thomas, aged 20, and an adopted daughter, aged 5 years. Adjoining the lot of James Qulnn, jr., on the other side, Is the property where his father lived. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. On the line between the Qulnn nnd Gallagher properties Is a well that the families use to get water from. Sev eral months ago there was a dispute over this well and the Gallaghers nailed It up. On lay .27 Mrs. Qulnn had Mr a Gallagher arrested for mak ing throats nnd last week 3he was ar rested for being a common scold. This shows that there was bad 'blood be tween the families. Sunday afternoon James Quinn, jr., and Thomas Cummings were on their way towards Qulnn's home and when a short distance from It at a point whore the turnpike crosses the rail road, Joseph Gallagher approached and said he wanted to talk to Quinn. The latter was Inclined to Ignore the re quest at first, but In response to a second request from Gallagher couched In the form of a demand he stopped nnd Cummings went on for a short distance. Gallagher charged Qulnn with hav ing made an Insulting remnrk about bis adopted Mster and Qulnn denied the charge. Just who struck the first blow was not developed at tho hear ing, but In a few minutes a lively fight was In progress. THE FIGHT GltEW. Thomas Gallagher was a short dis tance away and he went to the assis tance of his brother and they wero soon reinforced by their mother and grandmother, .Mrs. Paul Dempsey, who also llve.s In that neighborhood, James Qulnn, sr., wus standing on the rail road a short distance nway talking with r. man, when the fight started and seeing Hint his son was receiving rough treatment, lie started for the group at the crossing. There is some evidence that he reached them and was belaboring the Gallaghers with his cane when he was struck in the head by a large pleco of cinder which cut two ugly sashe3 In his forehead. A moment later he was struck In the side of the head with a stone. Its force must have been great for It caved In the right side of his head, lacerated the brain and cracked the skull In a frlghtfiil'manner. He fell to the ground like a log and was dead soon afterwards. There is Tronic conflict of testimony as in the position of the parties at tho time. Some witnesses allege that young Qulnn and tho Gallagher boys wore nbout fifteen feet from the old man on one side and the two woman a similar distance on the other side when the fatal blow was struck and others say that they were all In a bunch. YOUNG MAN HURT. The fight did not terminate when the elder Qulnn fell. The Gallagher boys had young Qulnn down and were kick ing him. He has frightful wounds on his head and chest as a result of the light. Dr. Gilles, who Is uttending him, Is of the opinion, however, that he will lecover. His face is badly swollen and thirteen stitches were required to close tho wounds In his head. There aro also some ugly cuts on the head. As soon as Qulnn fell tho two women walked hurriedly toward tho Gallagher home and Cummings did his best to save young Qulnn from further injury at the hands and feet of tho Galla ghers. It seems certain that they were too busy with young Qulnn to throw any stones at the latter's father and that the missile which ended his llfo must have come from the hands of the women. As yet no one has been found who will admit having seen nny of the stones thrown, but that part of tho case will probably be cleared up later. At tho present stage of the case cir cumstances point strongly to tho wo men as tho ones who did tho killing and the fact- that they walked hur riedly away after old man Qulnn fell seems to strengthen tho theory that they threw the stones. FOUH AP.HESTS MADE. Sunday afternoon the two Gallagher boys were arrested and the next morn ing their mother and grandmother wero 1 taken Into custody. All aro now in the county Jail. Joseph Gallagher has a bruised head, Thomas Gallagher some scratches nnd Mrs. Gallagher has her arm bruised, All sustained their Injuries during tho melee. At the Inquest last night the follow ing Jurors listened to the evidence: S. S. Jones, E. J. Nenry. William Morri son, P, II. Murray, J. F. McAndrew and W. F. Loftus, The witnesses were examined by the Coroner Hoberts. John Gallagher, whose wife, mother-in-law and sons nro In Jnll for the killing, was present and sat beside Attorney Joseph 0'P.rlen, who has been retained to defend the accused. Mr. O'Hrlcii did not make any effort to examine the witnesses. He contented himself with taking notice of the facts brought forth by the questions of the coroner and Jurors. Constnble William llradley was the first witness sworn. His testimony was sadly mixed up. He contradicted himself several times. Of one thing, however, he wns quite sure; that Is, he was too excited to notice who threw the stones. He saw Qulnn fall, he said, and went and picked him up. He did not make any effort to separate the fighters or arrest any of the parti cipants afterwards. Pradley has been a neighbor of the Qulnns and Galla ghers for years. SAW NO STONE THROWING. Mr. Cobb was standing In his lot .1 short distance from tho scene of the fight at the time It occurred, but could not tell who threw the stones. Thomas Cummings, who was mixed up In the fight as a peacemaker and was hit In the side and on the shoulder with stones, was also unable to say who threw the stones. Thomas Carden was nearby, but saw no stones thrown. He saw tho women walking away, but their backs were toward him and he could not Identify them. A young man named Hughes testified that he recognized tho women walking away as Mrs. Gallagher and Mrs. Dempsey. The jurors nfter con sidering the evidence returned tho fol lowing verdict: . From the testimony of the witnesses summoned and appearing wo find that tho said James P. Qulnn came to his death from being stiurk by a stone hurled by some perron to this Jury un known during a riotous brawl which took place near Pnwdcrly's on Sunday. Aug. 13, 1839, at 2 p. m., In which Joseph Hal Ingher. Thomas Gallagher. Mrs. John Gallagher and Mrs. Paul Dempsey were Implicated on ono side and James I'. Qulnn, jr.. and James P. Qulnn, sr., on the other side. FUNERAL TODAY. The funeral of the murdered man will take place this morning. He wns uni versally respected. ' John Gallagher, whose sons, wife and step-mother are In jail, keenly feels the disgrace that has fallen on his house. He Is a man of fifty, bright and Intelli gent In appearance and well thought of by all who know hlm; His sons have the reputation of being somewhat wild. DROWNED IN LAKE WIN0LA John Leech Fell from a Boat and Sank tARise No More Was a Clv War Veteran. John Leech, a painter nnd paper hanger, was drowned In Lake Winola Monday evening. In company with Silas H. Itoblnson he was returning to Mr. Robinson's cottage about 7.30 o'clock and while stepping Into a row boat lost his balance and fell Into deep water. He failed to come lo the sur face again. His body was recovered about an hour later. Coroner Winters, of Wyoming coun ty, was summoned, but deemed It un necessary to hold an Inquest owing to the large number of persons who saw tho accident. He took the body to his rooms In Mill City to await it being claimed by his relatives. The remains were later removed to D. D. Jones & Son's undertaking es tablishment on Washington avenue. Deceased was a native of Virginia and a veteran of the Civil war. He was about 43 years of ago. But little Is known of his life owing to his ex treme reticence in regard to himself. He came to this city about ten years ago from Paterson. N. J. He was a member of the Elm Park church and was also Interested in the work of the Rescue mission.

His Honor Declines to Glvo Any Specific Reasons for the Dismiss als, Saying Slmiiy That Their Resignations Are Wanted As Far as Is Known, Offensive Partisan ship Is the Only Charge Laid Up Against Them Dyer Wns Mount ed Officer Until Reduced. Patrolmen James Saul and Stephen Dyer nro no longer members of the police force, Mayor Molr yesterday nsked for their resignations and re lieved them from further duty. Neither appeared on his beat last night. Mayor Molr declined to discuss the cause of the removals, further than to say that he wanted the resignations and asked for them. He also said that tho resignations would be forthcoming. Roth these olllcers have been slated for dismissal ever since Mayor Molr took his seat. They are accused of per nicious activity In the Interests of Mr. Roche In tho mayoralty campaign. At least this Is the only charge against them as far as Is known. One of the first moves made by Mayor Molr after his Induction to olllce was to reduce Dyer, who was mounted officer, to the ranks of the patrolmen. He wns gen erally acknowledge to he the shrewd est and most Intelligent member of the force. Patrolman Saul was also an efficient officer and one of the bravest men on the force. He was shot two years ago while arresting n drink-crazed youth on the West Side and Is minus tho little finger of his right hand as a result. The youth In question stationed him self at tho head of a stairway with a double-barreled shotgun, threatening to kill anyone who entered the house. Patrolman Saul responded to the call for the police and after futile attempts to coax the fellow Into submission, made a dash upstairs after him. Tho lad fired and shot the officer in the hand, but he continued up the stairs, grappled his man and, although suffer ing excruciating pain from his badly mangled hand, disarmed and subdued him. Roth Saul and Dyer were appointees of Mayor Fellows. The Grandest Summer Trip.
