The com mittee next visited No. 35, and after Inspecting the two attic rooms, which were almost unbearably hot on account of tho nearness to tho roof, a meet ing was at once held and the com mittee decided to Instruct the princi pal to havo only a single session in theso rooms frqm now till school closes. No. 33 was the next school visited, and here enjoyable slnelng exorcises were conducted by Mrs. Annie Barnes. While Inspecting No. 38 on Franklin avenue, a little later, the commltteo also looked over the dwelling on the northerly side of that building, which Is owned by tho school district. Tho committee seemed to consider It especially adapted for the purpose of a training tiehool for next year, and decided to recommend to the board that tho matter of using It for such a purpose bo thoroughly investigated by the high and training committee. It Is known dellnltely that the train ing school will have to bo moved from tho High school next year, and this Is considered a most advantageous place to move It to. Inasmuch as prac tice work would bo very easy with a school next door. In the afternoon the commltteo visit ed "Nos. 3 and 10, and this morning thy -will Inspect a number of other schools. It will take about four days to make the complete rounds. SUPREME TREASURER COLLINS Ho Was Tendered a Rocoption by Local Forostors Last Nifjht.

COMPANY MAKES STRONG ACCUSATIONS. Alleges Thiit ths Recent $14,000 Issuo of Bonds by the Lackawanna Township School District Was Irregular and Thftt a Fraud Is to Bo Practiced on the Taxpayers Family Quarrel Over Benton Prop ertyDamage Suit from Olyphant Will of R. T. Black-Court Notor. In on amended bill In the equity suit of tho Delaware, Lackawanna nno. Western company against tho school board of Lackawanna township, llled yesterday by Wlllard, Warren &. Knapp, an attack Is made on the regu larity of tho recent Issue of $14,000 worth of Improvement bonds, and peti tion mado to havo thorn declared In valid. Tho action of tho board In authoriz ing tho Issue was first attacked, bc eauso It would Increase tho district's debt to $21,000, which N far in excess of tho constitutional limit of two per cent, of tho nssessed valuation. Tho amend ment complains of the bonds them selves, and the complaint Is couched In no uncertain terms. The meat of It is contained In these threo paragraphs: Seventh Your complainant further allogei that the said defendants In attempting to dispose of the said bond Issue havo Illegally turned the same over to the attorney of the board and de puted to him the peiwcr of determining to whom and upon what terms the said bonds should be sold; that no advertisements were made by the said attorney or by the said schexd board for the sale of said bonds and that the same were not sold in tho open market, but were sold af pri vate 6alc by the said attorney illegally and in violation of tho law, and the said Lackawanna township sehoed district ilid not receive fur the said bonds as large a price as would have be'en recilved if the same wire advertised and sold In the open market. Eighth "V our complainant further alleges that the action of the defend inta in connection with said liond Isiuc is not only illegal for the rea sons hereinbefore stated, but it Is also fraudu lent toward me taapayers of said district. No necessity ulsts for suth increase of indebted ness, no new school buildings are re'piireel to meet the needs or ilemands of said district at this time, and it Is alleged that the proceeds of said bonds will not be used for the purpose of said district in carrying on a system of eduei tion br common schools, but it will tie used, anil Is Intended by said defendants to be vned In a fraudulent and corrupt manner for the pur chase at an exorbitant price of real estate, whie.li is entirely unnecessary for any reasonable pur poses of said school district; the said district having at this time more land than It actually needs for the purpose oln site for school build ings and Is advertising unimproved land pur chased for a school house site for sale. The slto proposed to be purchased by the school board with the funds derived from the sale of said bonds being a tract of two lots situated only about three hundred (SOfl) feet from the present school house in the district, which said school building Is entirely adequate to the needs of said school district. Ninth Your complainant further alleges that the said elefcndants by their attorney having sold the said bonds, and the ssld isue of bonds and the ale thereof being entirely and wholly un warranted and illegal, the said defendants are about to levy a tai to provide a sinking fund for tho payment of ald bonds so Issued Ille gally as aforesaid, and If the said school district is permitted to use the said money elenved from the sale of said bonds ami to levy and collect taxes for the pavment thereof, the plalntllf and other taxpayers of said school district will suitor great and irreparable wrong and Injury in that their school taxes will be greatly Increased to pay olf Illegal, unnecessary and fraudulent ex penditure's. Tho petition prays for an Injunction restraining the defendants from buy ing the lots In question, or paying out any of the funds received from the sale of the bonds for any purpose whatso ever, and compelling them to recall the bonds and rettlrn the money rcoolved for them. Casos in Common Ploas. When common pleas court resumed yesterday morning, after the Memorial day adjournment, Judge John P. Kelly, in No, 1, took up the case of Lettle E. FIsk agalnfct Charles and Ira Nafus, an ejectment suit for a four-acre plot of ground In Benton. The defendants are brothers and the plaintiff Is a sister-in-law of Ira, She had a Judgment against the latter and to secure satisfaction sold out the plot In question as the property of Ira. A part Interest In the plot Is claimed by Charles and he Is also In possession. The present proceedings were brought by Miss Fisk to establish her tltlo and oust Charles. Tho latter has no deed to the prop erty and relies upon parol testimony to establish his claim. He alleges that his father convoyed the land to Ira, that Ira sold back a part of It to the father and that the latter transferred this part to him. S. B. Price and Partridge & Vaughan represent tho plaintiff. Thei defend ant's attorney U D. C. Newcomb. Tho caso was for a tlmo In danger of an abrupt determination. Ono of the principal witnesses for the defense Is tho mother of tho defendant. Her tes timony was taken by depositions, bo cause of her being unablo by reason of pnysicai mtirmities to come into court. Because tho depositions, after being transcribed, were not signed by her, tho plaintiff's counsel objected to their admittance. Mr. Newcomb argued that whilo tho prescribed practico calls for this, It Is not Insisted upon now, and has not been since the use of stenography In taking depositions has becomo so general. Judge Kelly ruled that if tho plaintiff persisted In the objection tho deposi tions would havo to be ruled out, but If OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE COIY SAVINGS BB II TRUST MP W, Spruce Street, Opp, Court House L.

After some hesitancy the plain tiff agreed to waive the technicality, and the trial was proceeded with. Tho caso of Daniel Klslusky against Thomas Gllboy, Urldgot Gtlboy and tho Horough of Olyphant wan given to a Jury In No. 2, by Judge Archbald, Just before adjournment. Tho plaintiff sued to recover for dam1 ages alleged to have been dono his proporty by tho water flowing thereon. Four years ago ho bought a lot on Mooslc sftreet, Olyphant, from tho Dela ware and Hudson company. It was perfectly dry, but located nloncslde a water course which ran through tho Ollboy lot Just across tho street. In the fall of 189S, OUboy filled In his lot and Incidentally thr water course. This was followed by tho flooding of Kls lusky's lot. Six months later the borough blocked up tho culvert which carried tho water across tho street and nlong the course which formerly crossed tho Gllboy lot. This did not change the conditions any as far as thoy affected the KIslusxy lot, but simply moved the offending In terference farther up the course, and as Judge Archbald ruled, relieved Gll boy of liability from that tlmo on. After the testimony of the plaintiff was In, Judge Archbald directed a non suit against Mrs. Gllboy and caused tho plaintiff to elect between the two re maining defendants as to which to pro ceed against. Gllboy was chosen. Ac cordingly, a non-suit was also entered ns against tho borough. Tho plaintiffs were represented by James J. O'Mallcy and I. 11. Uurns. The Gllboys' attorney was ex-Senator M. 13. McDonald. Frank M. Lynch, solicitor for Olyphant, looked after tho borough's Interests. A verdict of $330.09 In favor of tho plaintiffs was returned yesterday morn ing in tho case of Wills & Hlgglns against D. H. Hand. Tho verdict be ing subject to a reserved point, the de fense secured a rule on tho plaintiffs to show cause why Judgment should not bo entered for the defendant, not withstanding tho verdict of the Jury. The plaintiff falling to appear, a non suit was granted In the caso ef Joseph and Hllzabeth Chase against Thomas Barrowman. The suit of John S. Jenkins against the Itush Brook Coal company was re ferred to Attorney Charles L Hawley The case of Wolfe & Wenzel against J. W. Guernsey was reported settled, and the case of A. M. Freas against George W. Brown was continued for settlement. Will of Robert T. Black. The will of the late Robert T.
