SALARIES OF HIGH
SCHOOL TEACHERS
HIGH SCHOOL COMMITTTEE CAN
NOT AGREE ON THEM.
Mr. Gibbons Last Night Succeeded
in Having Messrs. Barker and Jen
nings Appointed on the Commit
tee Bids for Supplying Coal nnd
Wood Received Mr. Jennings
Says Assessors Are Not Correctly
Enumerating Children Salary of
R. J. Jennings Increased by Board.
It has been a well known fact In
the Inner .circle, that the members of
the high and training school committee
of the board of control have been at
loggerheads during the past few weeks
over the nppolnttnents at the high
school for the coming year, but this
fact didn't come to the surface until
lust night's meeting of the board, Just
before the committee's report wns to
have been read.
Just ns Mr. Jayno called for the re
port of the committee, Mr. Gibbons
rose nnd moved that the committee
be Increased by two members and that
Messrs. Barker nnd Jennings bo added
to It. This took everybody by surprise
nnd the motion was adopted, without
any opposition.
Mr. Gibbons then moved that the
report, which nnd not yet been read,
nnd which Chairman Francois ad
mitted wns not complete, be referred
back to the committee for considera
tion, and this, too, was carried.
The report, which the committee had
ready to present, wns signed by three
members only, Messrs. Kvnns, Schwnss
and Neuls. It provided for the ap
pointment of Prof. YV. K. Schlmpff as
Instructor in mathematics to succeed
Miss Mattlc H. Gregg, and for the
retention of nil the other high school
teachers. No provision for salaries
was made. .
MATTER OF SALARIES.
A member of the committee stated
to a Tribune, man last night that the
commltteee could not agree on salaries
nt all. Some favored Increasing Vice
Principal Wagner's salary by $300 a
year, he said, while others were un
alterably opposed to this. Others
wanted Professor Grant's salary raised,
while those who are opposed to this
want Miss Mary Nlland's salary in
creased. Just where Mr. Gibbons stands on
these questions he would not state,
but he Intimated that with the addi
tion of Messrs. Jennings nnd Barker
to the committee, the controller ittam
the Twentieth could have things his
own way. The next re;.-ort of the com
mittee will undoubtedly cause a deal
of argument.
The bids for furnishing coal and
wood to the district for the coming
year were opened, read nnd referred
to the supply committee. The coal
bids were as follows:
Michael Gibbons and company For
Second district; sizes larffer than pea,
$2.43; pea, $1.73. Third district, sizes
larger than pea, $2.50; pea, $1.73.
Hugh Gllmorc First district, sizes

sizes larger than pea, $2.45; pea, $1.74.
James Flynn Fourth district, sizes

The bids for wood were ns follows:
James Flynn Kindling wood, $2 for
a one-ton wagon and $3.50 for a two
ton wagon. Slab wood, $1.73 for a one
ton wagon and $2.C0 for a two-ton
wngon.
James Kearney Kindling and slab
wood, $2 for a one-ton wngon and $3.50
for a two-ton wagon.
WANT CORRECT ASSESSMENT.
Mr. Jennlncs announced that he
understood that some of the assessors
believed that a rule exists In the
county commissioner's olhce that the
assessors will be paid only for register
ing the names of only COO children in
each ward. Therefore, ho said, many
of them were making a point of stop
ping when they had registered that
number.
He moved that the truant officer ho
Instructed to compare the returns of
last year with those already turned In
this year, for the purpose of ascer
taining If this state of affairs really
exists. This motion was adopted, and
the board also decided to Instruct the
teachers' committee to wait upon th
commissioners and see if any such rule
exists.
Captain May, of the kindergarten
eommlttee.reeommended that the board
engage, during the coming year, but
three kindergarten teachers In addi
tion to Miss Underwood and Miss
Grace Peck, these three to be selected
by the former and recommended for
appointment. The committee also rec
ommended that no bills for kinder
garten supplies bo passed by the board
unless such supplies were ordered by
the committee or by th superintend
ent. Both recommendations were adopted.
Mr. Gibbons suggested that four more
kindergartens be opened to utilize the
four teachers who will have to walk
the plank. Captain May stated that
the committee had considered tills
question and had decided that tho ap
propriation this year is Insufficient for
any Bitch extra expenditure.
As nearly everyone hired by the
board except the teachers have had
their salaries recently raised, It was
decided, upon the recommendation of
the supply committee, to Increase the
salary of R. J. Jennings, In charge of
the supply room, from $03 to $75 a
month.

Superintendent Howell, In a com
munication, recommended that four
Crowcll physical cabinets bo purchased
for the use of thr hluh and p.iiiiiimir

of apparatus, which sells for $350
apiece, was present with a sample

The board decided to purchase four of

GUARD MOUNT CONDUCTED.
On Court House Lawn, Under Direc
tion of Adjutant Atherton.
A regulation guard mount wns con
ducted yesterday afternoon on the
northwest corner of the court house
lawn by Adjutant Dolph B. Athorton,
of tho Thirteenth regiment, assisted by
several of the officers of that com
mand. A largo throng of spectators
witnessed tho tnctlcal evolutions, It
helng a novel sight to those not accus
tomed to camp life.
Forty volunteers from tho various
city companies took part, about ten
representing tho old guard and thirty
the new guard. For the beneilt of those
who may not understand what a guard
mount Is, It may bo explained that it
Is the ceremony of changing and sta
tioning a guard nround a camp, and
takes place every morning about 9
o'clock.
Bauer's regimental band assisted In
the ceremony, which was' witnessed by
Major W. S. Millar, Inspector of the
Third brigade, who appeared much
pleased at the showing made by the
men. The Idea In conducting the mount
was to give some of the men from
each company practical experience,
which will come In handy nt camp.
Captain W. A. Raub acted as old offi
cer of the day, while Captain John YV.
Kambeck was the new otficer of thi
day. Lieutenant David J. Davis was
officer of the guard, and Lieutenant
Pross was supernumerary officer of the
guard. Adjutant Atherton, as men
tioned above, was In command.
SCRAGG WAS ANGRY.
Told His Client to Keep Bothering
Peoplo Who Had Him Arrested.
Four worthy citizens of the Nay Aug
Falls region appeared before Mayor
Molr yesterday afternoon and testified
that they had been greatly perturbed
and disturbed on several Sundays past
by a certain brand of music which has
como floating on the breeze from a
merry-go-round organ, situated Just
outside Nay Aug park.
This testimony was offered at a hear
ing In tho case of James L. Robinson,
the proprietor of the merry-go-round,
who had been arrested upon tho com
plaint of the above-mentioned citizens
for maintaining a nuisance on Sunday.
Mayor Molr, after hearing the evidence,
fined Robinson $5, which was paid.
When the five dollars had been
turned over, Mr. Robinson's attorney,
John F. Scragg, turned to him and
said:
"You go back up there now and Just
bother the life out of these people all
week, If they won't allow you to run
on Sundays. Play your organ all you
want to."
"Well, If ho does," retorted Chief
Robllng, "we'll have him up here again,
for a man can maintain a public nuis
ance on a weekday Just as well as on
Sunday." Whereat Mr. Scragg was
silent.
IMMENSE ROCK STRUCK HIM.
David Thomas Severely Injured at
the Bellevue Slope.
David Thomas ,aged twenty, a com
pany hand at the Bellevue slope, sus
tained a painful Injury, as the result of
a fall of roof, yesterday morning.
He nnd a number of other company
hands were dispatched to clear away
the debris of a fall that occurred the
night before. On arriving at the scene
of the fall they found the roof still
"working," and decided to, withdraw.
Just as Thomas was turning to leave,
a slab of rock, weighing 300 pounds, fell
and struck him a slanting blow on the
head and shoulders, cutting a four
Inch gash In his scalp and inflicting
painful bruises. Another workman,
standing at his elbow, escaped Injury.
Dr. J. J. Roberts treated Thomas at
his home, 902 Eynon street. It required
ten stitches to sew up the wound on
his head.

ACCIDENT WAS DUE
10 VANDAL'S ACT
TROLLEY COMPANY OFFERS A
IJ200 REWARD.
General Manager Silliman An
nounces That That Amount Will
Be Paid for Information That
Will Lead to the Arrest of the
Guilty Party Motorman New
combe Claims Ho Did All He Could
to Stop His Car Coroner Begins
Investigation Condition of tho
Injured.
It Is now a practical certainty that
Sunday's trolley wreck nt Old Forgo,
by which Motorman Westbrook lost
his life and at least a dozen others
were Injured, resulted primarily from
the switch signals having been tamp
ered with.
After ns thorough an examination as
time and circumstances would permit,
Oeneral Manager Frank Silliman
adopted this theory of the cause of
tho accident, and In the hope of ferret
ing out and bringing to Justice the
guilty vandal, decided to offer a re
ward of $200 for Information that
would lead to his detection. The offer
of the reward will be found In tho ad
vertising columns of this morning's
Tribune.
Residents of tho neighborhood of the
switch nt tho Mudtown end of tho
block, In which the accident occurred,
nil tell of It being a not uncommon
practice of boys of that place to change
tho signals after a car has passed, and
the crews on that line say they have
often had to back up to one switch o.'
the other on account of two cars being
brought into tho same block by tho
changing of the signals after they had
set them.
OFTEN CHASED BOYS.
Mrs. Joseph Brown, whose homi
faces the switch signal at Mudtown,
says she has frequently chased boys
away who were evidently bent on turn
ing the lights. She has seen little tots,
she says, not over nine or ten years
of age, attempting to turn the signal
lever by reaching up to It with a stick.
There Is a standing reward of $10 for
Information that will lead to the ar
rest of any person tampering with any
of the lights. Tho company wilt ex
haust tho forces of tho law to make an
example of any one caught In this
devilish act.
The conduct of Motorman Newcombe,
of the incoming car, was tho subject
of much discussion yesterday, and it
would appear from the later Investi
gations that his compliance with tho
company's strict edict against discuss
ing accidents with outside parties, has
subjected him to some undeserved cen
sure. Whether or not he did all that was
possible to avert the collision, he alono
knows. In his statement, made to Gen
eral Manager Silliman, ho says that
he reversed the power and put on tho
brake as hard as It could be applied
before he Jumped.
In this he is corroborated by Master
Mechanic Thomas Mullen. When he
and his men attempted to draw New
combe's car out of the wreckage they
found the brakes on; so tightly that It
could not be started with the power
lever at the highest notch. They at
tempted to let off the brnke, but tho
brake rod had been bent and would not
work, and to release It they found It
necessary to chisel away the pin which
fastened tho brake-chain to the bottom
of the rod.
CORONER TO INVESTIGATE.
This matter, however, will be cleared
up, It Is expected, by the coroner. He
set about tho Investigation yesterday
by empaneling a Jury consisting of M.
E. Sanders, M. A. Rafter, Thomas E.
Reynolds, D. C. Powell, James Leyshon
and Daniel Harris, who after viewing
tho remains of the dead motorman ad
journed to give tho coroner time to
look up the witnesses.
Motorman Westbrook's body was
taken from the hospital yesterday
morning to Cuslck's undertaking es
tablishment, where It was prepared
for burial, and, in the afternoon, It
was removed to his parents home In
Brooklyn, Susquehanna county. The
funeral is to take place tomorrow.
Unless present symptoms are mis
Interpreted by the attending physi
cians, the list of casualties will not
be Increased.
Mrs. Mattle Lewis, whose condition
Is the most serious among the Injured,
will escape without permanent disabil
ity, It Is thought. Her physician, Dr.
Adam Stegner can find no more ser
ious hurt than a fracture of the lower
end of the spine, a quarter-Inch of
tho lowermost vertebra belnrj Jiroken.
The spinal cord Is not nftected, as
was at first feared, and the fracture
Is of such a nature that It will likely
heal without the necessity of a sur
gical operation. Mrs. Lewis is still at
the home of her friend, Mrs. Pascoe,
in Rendham.
Mrs. Daniel Morgan, of the corner of
Price street and Van Buron avenue,
who was reported into Sunday night
by Dr. Reynolds to be in a serious
condition, is now thought to be out
of danger of death. Unless the Inter
nal Injuries develop to tie more serious
than yesterday's symptoms Indicated,
sho will recover.
IN A NERVOUS STATE.
Mrs. James Williams, of 1932 Wash
burn street, who suffered a violent
shaking up and who fainted away af
ter being assisted to Lnlly's drug
store', continues in a highly wrought
nervous state and several times yes
terday had spells of fainting. Tho
others are nil reported to bo doing
well.
Tho list of slightly Injured has been
increased by four. John Lewis, hus
band of the woman whose spine was
Injured, found his ankle badly swollen
yesterday morning, and an examina
tion showed that it has been sprained.
His infants daughter, who was being
carried In its mother's arms also sus
tained Injury. To save tho child, the
mother, in her excitement, shoved It
out of the car, and the little one's
face was badly cut on both sides,
James Williams, husband of one of tho
Injured women, also complains of a
sprained writs.
Miss Crane, of New York city, who
is a guest of Storekeeper O'Connor, of
th Lacakawanna road, sustained
painful bruises and a severe shaking
up that resulted in her being affected
with nervousness all of yesterday.

ACCUSED OF FORGERY.
E. M. Guackenboss Arrestod fay Two
Patent Medicine Companies.
E. M. Quackenboss, of this city, was
yesterday arraigned before Alderman
John T. Howe, and In default of $2,000
ball, committed to the county Jail on
the charges of counterfeiting nnd forg
ery, preferred by tho Lydla Plnkham
Medicine" company and the Peruna
Drug company. Tho latter discovered
about six weeks ago that some one In
this city wns selling a medicine In
bottles enclosed In wrappers similar to
those they used. Quackenboss was sus
pected nnd Mr. Gracy, tho company's
a,gent, lodged Information against him
before Alderman Howe. A warrant was
Issued, but before It could be served
Quackenboss left town.
Tho PInkcrton Detective agency then
took charge of the matter and last
week Quackenboss was arrested In
Columbus, O., by Detectives H. B.
Krusen and H. II. Herney. Requisi
tion papers were taken out and yes
terday morning ho was brought back
to the city. James T. Wetherald, agent
for the Lydla Plnkham Drug company,
also swore out a wnrrnnt for Quacken
boss' urrest, charging him with coun
terfeiting their drugs, nnd selling a
preparation which he claimed was
made by tho company. Quackenboss
was held In $1,000 ball on each charge.
Morgan H. Howell, n. former resident
of tho West Side, but more recently a
peripatetic "Mexican" doctor, was ar
rested with Quackenboss and taken to
Wllkcs-Barro to bo tried. It Is alleged
he operates here as well as In Wllkes
Barre, but tho case against him in the
Luzerne capital Is considered tho
stronger.
GORDON HELD IN BAIL.
Ha Is Charged with Selling Liquor
at Heart Lake.
Anthony Gordon, of tho central city,
was arraigned before Alderman Kas
son yesterday and held In $500 ball on
the charge of selling Intoxicants at the
Letter Carriers' picnic at" Heart lake,
on July 4, C. E. Roberts, one of tho
cottagers at the resort, preferring tho
charge. Saturday, William Campbell,
a local letter carrier, was arrested on
the same charge, but yesterday tho
complaint wns withdrawn, as It was
found that Campbell was merely act
ing as a waiter In the booth.
A warrant was then sworn out for
Gordan and he was arrested yesterday.
Michael O'Malley became his bonds
