In tlio premises, 1 desire to state tliat 1 bear tlio honor of being a member of the bir and an otluer of the court of the count of Lackawanna, and, as such, am amenable to tlie court nt all times fur my speech and conduct. If my action lus been Midi as to deserve reprimand, it was the duty of tlie grand jur.v to bring such action to the notice of tlio court by foim-il presentment. Their faiiuie tn ilu so proves condu'Ivcly to luy mind that they lined not. Any statements I have made, I stand prepared tn substantiate at the pmper time, b.v competent evidence; and, as a matter of fact, 1 did substantiate the state ments by legal piool before that augu-t body, the grand jiuj, and I still insist tliat those statements aie true and entirely warranted, not withstanding the asseitlnn of the jury to the con trary As .in liidivhluil and a I eprcscnt.it ive of the Municipal league and the Men's union, 1 de siie to estend my appreciation and thanks to them for tho work they did do.

Lively Debate Over the Report of tho Teachers' Committee with Refer ence to Night Schools and tho Qualifications of tho Teachers Who Are to Be Employed Schools Will Open Next Monday Night Sug gestion to Change District Lines Referred Back to Committee. Jttit a month ago last night School Controllers 1'vnns and Gibbons had an exceedingly lively wrangle over some woik done nround No. 13 school, which Mr. Gibbons charged Mr. Kvans with having authorized. Mr. Kvans sought vindication two weeks ago nnd suc ceeded In having a special committee nppolntcd to investigate the matter. The committee presented the following report nt last night's meeting of the school board, which was read and ordered Hied: To the Hoard of Control. Seranton, Pa. ('cntlciurn: The siiecial committee appointed to look Into tlio matter of tiie work done on the retaining wall at No. 13 school this summer, went to the building on tlie afternoon of the loth instant, a'companicd by other members of Jour body. 'lhe found lint tlie wall on this noitlieaslcrly and southcily sides had been e hanged so tliat the top would be boilontal instead of following the gi uh' of th ground as !( had been origin-ill) built, and that on a part of Hie northwesterly side and em a put of the soutliwcsleily side a new wall had been constructed.! Theie Is no question in tho minds of the com mittee that the change Is an Improvement, al though not absolutely niiessary. The criticism is that in dannge xvo'ild have been done had the woik b"cn postponed until the wall already erected icquired icpairs or until tlio district was in a belter finat'dal condition. Tlie wall was originally built in ls'ri, or onl) four jears ago. and eouhl have been left tor a number of Jems without being touched, thereby saving much of the l,t-'.'0, which was expended in making tho el anges Hie past siaunur. We eouhl not find tint tlie work had been nuthotized b.v tlie bo..iel or Iho building com mittee. When Ih" latter made their usual early xislt to see what repairs were ncoessir), tho change in 'lie will was spokm of, and a note nude of It b.v tli.' superintendent of repairs, rh" councilor cf Hie w.erd chums he bad nothing to elo with letting th- eoii'ract for these changes although he knew of it. It seems to jour committee that where so mm h lrrnev is tn be 'sp-nt, as was expended in this ease, tlie work should not bo undertaken without tlie approval of the boird and should be legally advertised. It Is a ver loose wav of doing the business of the hoarel, and if it does not lead tn actual dishonesty, it blings about many iircgularilica anil great extrava gances, W, . May, John O'Malley. Louis Schwa!. TIIE WINDOW SHADES. Another Investigating committee also presented a report. Tills was tho committee appointed to investigate the facts surrounding tho letting of a big contract for window shades by the building committee. This committee reported that they found that a contract for Venetian blinds for three schools had been let by tho building committee, the total amount of the contract being $9S3. These Venetian blinds cost three times ps much as Holland shades, said the report, but as there was a ten-year guarantee they would per haps be cheaper in the mil. The com mittee had received bids from several parties for Venetian blinds and the lowest bid received was only ?5.72 less than the price contrncted for by tho building committee. They enclosed an opinion from tho board's attorney, stating that as the board had not au thorized the contract, tho district could not be held liable for the bill. Tl.is report was also received and tiled. The following recommendations of tlie teachers' committee were adopted with out debate: That Miss Catherine Hastings bo permanently appointed to No. S an nex. That Miss Anna L. Harrett, teacher in primary C grade, No. 16, be credited with primary C work for one year in pilmary A grade, in adjustment of salary. The other. recommendations of this committee, however, were discussed for over half nn hour. The first to re ceive, nttentlon was one requiring all night school pupils to register with tlio secretary of tho board. This was tin ally voted clown aud It was decided to nllow the pupils to register with the principals of the various schools for the four days preceding the opening of tlies night schools, and at the night schools themselves two nights before their opening. NIGHT SCHOOL THACHEKS. The second recommendation was that only those night school teachers should boappolnted who possessed the same qualifications as day school teachers. Tills was vigorously discussed und was finally amended to read "until the sup ply of such teachers is exhausted, when only those who shall be High school graduates shall be engaged." Tlie last recommendation, and the one that was fought until it was finally voted down, was one recommending that all boys under twenty-ono years of age now out or. striko be admitted, upon application, to the public school located In the district in which they live. Tho general sentiment was that in stead of ciowding the day schools to accommodate these transient pupils, the night schools hhould be opened at once and that they be allowed to at tend them. It was pointed out that letting them attend the day schools would require the hiring of a large number of extra teacheis and the rent ing of additional annexes. The boaid finally decided to open the night schools next Monday night and to le'iivo the cngaglng of teachers to the vailous controllers, their action to be afterwards approved by tho board. The following tepoit of ho building committees were adopted without dis cussion: The building commuter recommend tliat tho ah.iy of the unitoi at No. 2 Uo lived at &0 per mouth, and that he be paid $13 additional for de.iuing, havln; alieady been paid ?l.1.

OBSERVANCE OF NEW YEARS DAY Hebrew Residents of This City Yes terday Appropriately Celebrated the First Day of Their Year. Services in celebration of tho Jewish New Year were conducted throughout the various city synagogues yesterday morning-, and everywhere the Hebrew citizens scrupulously observed the day. Scranton's busy business thorough fares were dotted with establishments that were closed In honor of "Hosh Itashonah," while the propiletors nnd their families attended divine worship nt the temples, and fittingly observed one of the greatest and most axe-ln-spiiing of nil the holidays of the Jew ish calendar. From JO o'clock to VI o'clock in tho morning alt the Seranton synagogues were thronged with xvorshippers, and the afternoon and remainder of the day was entirely devoted to happiness and merriment. This festival Is one of joy and mirth, and everyone beginning the year with the customary good resolu tions, starts the New Year with a day of wholesome pleasure, which is to serve as a model for the 361 to follow. The entire holiday is entirely In vari ance with the Day of Atonompnt, or Yom Klppur.whlch will begin the night of Tuesday, October 2. This latter event Is no less important In the Jew ish religion than New Year, but is marked by services throughout the en tire day, and a strict fast from nour ishment of any t-ort. It Is a period of gloom and sorrow, greatly In contrast with the happy, meirv day which was yesterday celebrated. Services began at 10 o'clock yester day morning In the Linden street syna gogue. The church presented a beau tiful appearance, palms and potted plants, banked gracefully in a mass in fiont of the pulpit, producing a hand some effect, Sol Foster, formerly of this city and now a student at the Hebrew Union college, a rabbinical university at Cincinnati, was in charge of the services, and created a splendid impression upon all his auditors. He chose as his theme yesterday morning the extract from Genesis, tell ing of the sacrifice of Abraham, on tho occasion when the patriarch was about to offer up to Heaven his own son Isaac. Ho told of the struggle the maker of tho covenant with the Lord had with himself as he heard the warn ing voice of his conscience, nnd lie graphically described the marked ef fects it produced on his after life, Mr. Foster pointed out a similarity between the clear, tinging notes of tho voice of conscience and the vibrant tones of the "shofar," or cornet, al ways sounded in the house of worship on New Year and the Day of Atone ment. The "shofar" is intended to pro duce tlie same results as .the wee sma" voice, and by its warning peal to re mind nil who hear it of their own er rors, und the fact that It Is not too late to mend. The discourse was logical and thoughtful. During the service, sacied music was rendered by the choir, under the leadeishlp of Professor C, II. Der man. BICYCLIST BADLY INJURED. .- Wheelman Struck by Carriage Pole and Thrown from His Seat. Scarcaas lietlar, a Syrian residing on North Ninth street, while riding down Lackawanna avenue yesterday morning on his bicycle, attempted to dodge a street car and collided with a surrey.

Ho was later ie moved to his home. 4 Wurzburger Imported Beer or draught at tho Coyne. REPORT MADE BY GENERAL SECRETARY CARPENTERS' UNION HAS GROWN RAPIDLY. V Two Years Ago the National Union Had 428 Local Unions and 31,508 MemberB Now It Has 718 Locals with a Membership of 08,403. Finances of the Organization Are In Good Shape Next Convention Will Be Held at Atlanta, Ga. Ad dress by an Ex-Prcsldent. Secretary-Treasurer P. J. McGulro. of Philadelphia, yesterday presented his annual report to tlie convention of Cnrpenters and Joiners. A marvelous inctense in the membership of tho union was shown and the association's finances revealed to be in splendid condition. Since 1898, when the bien nial convention was held In New York, the membership lias doubled, owing in a large measure to the activity of tho district organizers. The place for tho next convention has been fixed, and Atlanta, Ga., will bo the favored city. The morning session was begun at'8 o'clock nnd tho committee on resolu tions rendered part of its report. George Coneybear, of Auburn, N. Y., Is the chairman of this committee, and the members are John Lorlng, of Springfield, 111.; Guy Latlirop, of San Francisco, Cal.i Charles Speyer, of New York. An Important suggestion was made. In advising tho adoption of a union label to bo placed on goods turned out of planing mills, and es tablishments of a similar nature. Tho convention passed tho resolution, which will now be submitted to a referendum vote of tho local unions. SECRETARY'S REPORT. Secretary-Treasurer McGulro then presented his report. He opened this by speaking briefly of the splendid condition of tho association. He re ferred to the local labor conditions, and in speaking about the strike, said: M"n and women waste their cars In irksome til for meagre pay in factory, shop and mine, while palaces rear their stately heads and the blackening shadows of labor' hovels daiken the hillsides and cast their placid gloom In the alio.is and by-streets of our cities. Other states Invo their full measure of wrong and injustice to tlic working people, hut in nene is there more refined Industrial lobbery, more artistic political Jobbery than In the Ke.vstone state. Still it w-as not alwa.vs so in tiiis state, nor did economic oppression stalk abioad in the Ian as it eloes oclay. There was a time In tins stale when labor was xvell remunerat"d and highly honored, when there was a spirit of political ir ciepndence and a larger field of opportunity with a horizon of advancement. Hcacls of families; then did not feat for the future of their children. Individual incentive was accelerated b) happy homes, life was made gladsome by cheeiy hopes with loftier thought's of still better conditions. Then it was tliat trade organisation among the miners was almost romplete They hid their own representatives xcry largely in oRcial posi tions in city, county und state. But in a dark hour the rancor of religious ond national bigotry, soldered their ranks. The once powerful or. conization of miners melted awa) and corporation rule and all its attendant evils assumed a direful pover over them as it does in oth-r occupa tions. More than a quarter of a renlury has seel, anil today this struggle of the miners brings to us n lcfon of forceful moment. Much as they have done of late )oars by repeated movements, fn.gnifi.tary and spasmodic, at last they have oiganlred on a broad basis to try and regain tliat which xvas lost to tliem for want of pres eivatlon of their organization long ago.

GROWTH OF UNION. Two j ears ago the union comprised 428 local unions, and ,'.1,W! members. Toda) there are ,18 locahi and CS.tr.l members pa) Ins taxes tn the general oihee. On July 1, 1)00, a balance of $siO,2c'S.()'J was reported in the treasury. This has, however, 1 een considcrabl) reelmed b.v do nations made by the grand executive board to assist local unions on strike, and In aiding van. ous traeie movements. Two .scars ago tlieie were but 10" cities woik. Ing eight hours a day; now there are 1S e nil's under the eight hour rule. In 211 cities strike movements were conducted, and of these 101 were successful, 17 were compromised, and but 6 de feated. Of these 11J were for Hie e.ght hour rule, S3 for tlic nine hour rule, and tlie bal ance for enforcement of trade rules. During the afternoon session the question came up of tho place of the next convention. Delegates from At lanta, Ga., Washington, D, C. Louis ville, Ky Columbus, O,, St. Louis, Mo., and Kansas City, Mo all eagerly pressed the claims of their respective cities for tho honor. Severnl eloquent speeches were delivered by the enthu siastic representatives of the contest ing places and tho greater part of tho afternoon was spent in the discussion of their relative merits. W. J. Wil liams, of Atlanta, gave a strong talk in which he impressed upon the con vention tlie beneficial results which would arise from the next session being conducted in Georgia. W. L. Glraril oux, of Jacksonville, Fla., also spoke for Atlanta, and C. A. Thompson, of Columbus, nskecl that Ohio be the next stato honored. Both these latter gen tlemen are colored and are delegates from two of the sixteen local negro unions.
