Interesting Session of the School Board Destruction by Fire of, a Barn Sad Mino Accident. Tho school directors held a special meeting Tuesday evening to take ac tion on the exoneration list. A num ber of taxpayers were exonerated from personal taxes, but when tho list of widows was presented the question was raised as to the legality of exon erating. A decision recently given In Scranton was read, wherein It was de cided school boards had not the power to exonerate from real estate. The question was discussed fully and the board oppeared to be In a dilemma. They finally took a charitable, If not a legal, view of the case, and decided to act on the list as has been their cus tom In past years. A number were exonerated In part, some In full, while tho remainder will have to pay.

The principal, who was present, was asked bv the board to give his version of the affair, which he did and which put such a different complexion on the affair that the board decided the bov deserved what "he received, and, furthermore, the sec retary read a portion of tho school laws to tho parent In which It was plainly shown Mr. Benson's contention about tho teachers' authority over the pupils outside the school building was entirely wrong. Messrs. Morcom, Ed munds and Prltchard Were appointed visiting committee for the present month. At half past one o'clock yesterday morning a barn at tho rear of Michael Furey's residence, on Mnln street, was discovered on Are, the discovery hav ing been made by some members of the Artesian Hose company.
