FORMAL ACTION OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD
EXPRESSES REGRET AT DEATH
OF D. I. PHILLIPS.
President Jnyne In Explaining the
Object of tho Meeting Referred to
the Deceased as One of the Most
Progressive nnd Valuable Mem
bers of the Board Eulogies Pro
nounced by Superintendent Howell
nnd John Gibbons Text of the
Resolutions That Were Adopted.
The members of tho board of con
trol, nt a special meeting held last
r.lght, decided to close the city schools
today at 12 o'clock, out of respect to
tho memory of Daniel I. Phillips, the
late school controllir from tu Fifth
ward. All of the membeis wro pres
ent, except Mr. Jennings, when the
meeting was called to order.
President Jnyne explained that tho
meeting had been called to take suit
able action on the death of Mr. Phil
lips, whom he referred to as having
been "one of tho most progressive and
valuable members of the board." He
then appointed the following commit
tee on resolutions: E. E. Evnns, P. J,
Langan, John Olbbons, A. B. Eynon
nnd Peter N'euls. The committee re
tired and Inter presented the follow
ing lepoit, which was unanimously
adopted:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Whcicas, We, tin- members of the Scranton
Hoard of Control, hau learned of the sad and
unexpected death of Mr. I). I, Phillips, late
member of the boaid from the Tilth ward; and
Whereas, We hie assembled In special session
to eiprcss our sorrow for his low and our ap
prcelatloii of Ids character and of his seriiccs
to the school district; now, therefore, be it
tit solicit, That we deeply regiel his untimely
deatli as r great loss to this board, to the dis
trict and to ids ward. We feel that wo haie
lost a valuable member and one whose place It
will be most difficult, if not Impossible, to fill.
Although a member of the board but a littto
more than fwo icars, he has been one of its
most Influential members by reason of his ster
ling qualities, Ills Intellectual force, his sturdy
manhood and his determination in the cause
of right. He was honest, upright, fearless, and
was eier ready lo sacrifice personal Interest for
the sake of advancing the cause of public edu
cation. He was n friend of the teachers and
pupils alike and was beloved b) all who came
in contact with him.
Resulted, That in Ills death the boaid has lost
a mot efficient member ami the school sjstcm
of this city an earnest adiocate and friend.
While a member, lie has served on the most
important committee und was uluais prompt
and actiie In this discharge of his duties. Dur
ing tin- past seir, he was chairman of the
teachers' committee, and ids zeal and nbillt In
Hi it position weie iccoguized by his appoint
ment at tli last rc-organlzation of the boaid
to the head of another impotent committee in
ihaige ol the high and training schools. At
the time of his election as a member from the
Fifth ward, lie was nlo elected at large as a
member of the board ol six school dliectors, a
fmtlier lecngnition of his fitness to manage the
school alfahs of the district. As one of the
boaid of tiwiiti, -one, it might be said that
eiciy member was his personal friend. A man
of such marked charaiter and strong eonilctions
was necessarily in opposition at times to tneas
uies ndioeatcd lj senile of his fellow membeis.
Hut Ids sense of justice and fairness lias such
that no personal feeling was allowed lo bins
Ills ollioi.it nets, ami his i curtesy and kindness
of lie-art wire such that no feeling of lesent
ment could be felt c-ien by those who might
be for the time being in opposition to him.
As ,t citizen, his ehaiaeter was aboio reproach
and eierywliere arc heard expansions indicat
ing how general is the feeling that tho com
munity has suffeied a great loss in his death.
In this hour of sorrow, we desire especially
to extend our simpathy to Ids bereaved family.
.in exemplary aim iicioteel husband, a kind,
iilfectlonatp father, Ills absence from the home
circle will cause a grief that we, his friends
and associates, can only partially comprehend
Very few men were more widely known or had
more friends than I). I. Phillips, in the social
circle, in the business world and in pub
Ik atlalis. And now that lie will be
seen no moie In any of these walks of life, we
shill more than ever appreciate his character
and abilities.
Hesolied, That we extend to bis stricken fam
ily and relatlies our heartfelt simpathy in their
hour of sorrow and bereaiement,
Hesolied, That this board attend the funeral
of our late lamented member in a body.
Hesolied, That, out of respect to his mem
orj the public, schools be closed at 12 o'clock
noon on Tuesday, and that the flags at all build
ings be displayed at half mast.
Hesolied, That for a period of thirty dajs,
the desk occupied by Mr. Phillips In the board
rooms, be duped in mourning.
Hesolied, That these resolutions be spread
upon (lie minutes' and that a copy of the same,
attested by the officers of the board, be for
warded to the family of our departed fellow
memhei.
PROF. HOWELL'S REMARKS.
After the adoption of the report.
Superintendent Howell, who has been
a life long friend of Mr. Phillips'.
spoke feelingly of his denth, referring
to the marked Influence he had upon
his own life. Mr. Howell's voice
broke and he was notlcably deeply
moved as he finished his remarks. He
was followed by Mr. Gibbons, who told
briefly of some evidences of th de
ceased man's charity that had come
under his personal observation.
The membeis of the board, and any
ex-members who may desire to attend
the funeral, will meet nt city hall at
1.15 this afternoon, where carriages
will be waiting for them.
There promises to be a most Inter
esting fight over the election of Mr.
Phillips' successor, who will bo chosen
by the board. The act of 1874, under
which the present school board ls
transacting business, provides "that In
case of any vacancy In any of the said
offices by death, resignation or other
wise, such vacancy shall he forthwith
filled by said board of control for the
remainder of the school year,"
The "school year" means from the
organization on the fourth Monday of
every February to the same time tho
year following, so that Mr. Phillips'

successor, who must bo chosen at once,
will have almost n year to serve. Mr.
Phillips was R member of what has
been termed tho "loyal 'leven" faction
of tho board, and his death reduces
that faction rom cloven to ten mem
bers, so that honors between the two
portions of the board are now even.
This Is what will cause the Inter
esting fight above referred to, for
which ever one of the two factions
that succeeds In wlnnlnir over n man
from the other side to Insutc tho elec
tion of the new member will consti
tute the power that will be for the
coming year. One candidate has nl

suddenly went off, the bullet taking
the tops off two of McGrnll's flnpers
nnd striking Dougherty In the abdo
men. It fortunately struck it button
nnd made only n slight ubrasio.l on the
flesh. Had it entered the nbdomo'i se
rious consequences might havo result

appeared In Clerk Daniels' office, they
were confronted with a telegram from
Haines' father, forbidding the grant

he was twenty-two and beyond his
father's control, but the clefk had the
father's telegram, declaring thnt the
boy was only nineteen and the clerk
chose to believe the father.
Soon after they left the office the
