JOHN C0NNELL WAS
BADLY INJURED
While Practicing with the Scaling
L.nddeis at Connell Hose House
He Fell Totty-rive Feet.
John Connell, n member of the Life
Saving Corps of the William Council
Hoso company, was badly Injured last
night, while piactl3lng for tho com
ing exhibition to bo given on the occa
slon of the annual Inspection of tho
flic department next month.
Tho high diylng tovvci, which has
lately been elected in tho icar of the
hose house, has been ued by the mem.
Tiers of the corps In piactlclng with
their scaling ladders. It Is about six
ty feet high nnd has windows on Its
side avhlch may bo used for scaling
purposes.
Connell started out last night about
0.30 o'clock w Itli a scaling ladder to
practice ascending on tho tower. Tho
place was very aaik, the only light
being a small lantcin hung nt the top.
Tho scaling ladder Is about twelve feot
long nnd il provided on tho end with
a hook, which Is thrown over the
w indow sill, thus holding the ladder.
When the llrcman reaches the w In
dow ho picks up tho ladder and
thtows it over the sill of tho window
on the next Uoor nbovo and so on till
tho top of tho building Is i cached.
Young Connell has heielofore gono up
ns fnr as the second Uoor, but last
night wus the flist time ho attempted
to go any higher.
He leached the second window In
safety and hooked tho ladder over the
silt of tho thlid window nnd started
to ascend. In the uncettaln light af
fouled by tlir Hntein he missed his
footing on the swaying ladder and fell
backwards, striking tho safety net
stt etched underneath.
Connell was iendied unconscious.
Tho net was stretched too tight. There
was no give to it nnd as ho expressed
It attenvau's himself, It was just Ilka
slill:lng the giound The height was
about foity-llve feot.
His cry as he fell w is heaid by his
fellow members inside tho hoso house
and they lushed to his assistance. He

MANY YOUNG MEN
GO TO COLLEGE
ARE GRADUATES OF SCRANTON
HIGH SCHOOL.
High Standard tho School Has At
tained Is Demonstrated by the Fact
that a Diploma of That Institution
Permits a Younm Man or Woman
to Enter Nearly All of the Best Col
leges nnd Universities of the Coun
tryThose Who Will Take aCol
lege Course.
This fall Is pioving a lecord-brcnkor
In the number of young men and wo
men sent to college from the Scranton
High school, and nnvono looking at
tho list of graduates admitted to the
higher universities can rxpeilonce no
doubt whatever us to tho status of
this city's leading educational Insti
tution. Harvaid, Princeton, Cornell,
Lafayette and Dickinson, all claim
their quota, nnd Smith college re
ceives ono of the young lady members
of tho class of 1900.
Tho two Dickinson candidates are
both nlumul.i They am Thomas Dona
hoe, of tho Scranton Truth, and Wal
ter Shantz, of tho class of '03. Doth
of these young men wll leave the city
Monday for Carlisle, and there enter
the Dickinson Law school.
Severnl of tho young men who ato
entering college, are allowed to begin
their course of study without being
compelled to pass any examination,
their High School certificates, signed
by Principal Grant and tho teachers
in charge of their High School instruc
tion, being considered siifllclent" quali
fications. Haivard, Vale nnd Pilncoton appli
cants must undergo n severe examina
tion, but none of tho other largo uni
versities demand any qualification of
this nature. Tho fact that a High
school certificate will admit a student
to universities of tho standing of Cor
nell, I'lilveixlty of Pennnsylvanla, La
fayette, Lehigh, and others shows In
a mnasuie the status attained by the
school and establlshs the fact that
It Is ono of the best pieparatory In
stitutions In the state.

those aie Call iClegler, last year's vale

tlvo Yale student.
RAISING STANDAUD.
The ginde of college woik Is rising
oveiy year, and the tequlrements
glowing stricter and theiefore it Is
.i matter for tho city to be pioud of
that so many High school students
hove been admitted to these unlveisl
tles. Ah an illustration of the plane
to which tho colleges are aspiring. It
may bo mentioned that tho Harvaid
authorities aie now endeavoring to
bi Ing about a material change In the
'aw school lequhonmits nnd that It
Is already almost an established fact
that within a year or so no ono other
than a giaduite of tome college will
bo admitted to the legal depaitment.
A similar change is to be made In
the me Ileal school, nnd It Is thought
that this mode of u qulioinents will
b adopted by tho universities
thioughout the country end made the
standaid In tho law, medical and theo
logical schools.
'In this way," said Pilnelpal Giant,
of tho High Bchool yesterday, "It Is
thought that the so-called learned pro
fessions will bo made open to learned
men, and learned men only."

WILL NOT OPEN THE
NIGHT SCHOOLS YET
On Account of the Failure of Pupils
to Register the Board of Control
So Docided Last Night.
At a special meeting of the school
boird, held last night, It was unani
mously decided not to open the night
schools next Monday, as plannod, for
mo reason mat the number of regis
trations so far recorded does not war
rant such a procedure.
It will bo remembered that the board
decided at its meeting last Monday to
open them to accommodate the many
boys thrown out of employment by tho
strike. Mr. Gibbons brought the mat
ter up last night by moving that tho
former action be reconsidered.
He said that so far In his ward not
a single teglstratlon had been made at
any of the three schools and that, ac
cordingly, it would be folly to open any
night schools. He said that the weather
at present Is too pleasant, and that tho
majority of the youngsters would pre
fer being on the street to going to
school.
Mr. Schwass said that In his ward
not a single registration had been
made, either. The board reconsidered
Its foimer action by a unanimous vote,
and the superintendent was Instructed
to still advertise that registrations
would be received, so that the board at
Its legular meeting n week from Mon
day night .would be able to tell whether
the schools should be opened then or
not
This notion was also taken because
the majoilty of the members woie of
the opinion that tho stilke would be
soon settled and the necessity for the
early opening of the schools thus obvi
ated. It was the concensus of opinion
that those boys desiring to go to school
In the Interim could enter the day
schools. The meeting was called for the spe
cial purpose of settling the dispute
about the boundary lines between No.
2G and No. 27 school. At a meeting of
the teachers' committee, held last
Wednesday night, a petition was pie
sented fiom a number of the piopeity
owners whose children attend No. 26
school, asking permission that the
boundary line be changed from Depot
street to the Delaware and Hudson
tiacks, In order that the children would
not bo compelled to cross said tracks
on their way to school. The commit
tee recommended that the petition be
gi anted
Mr. Shi: es, in whose ward No. 2G is
located and who didn't want to see
that school lose any pupils, offered an
amendment that dn annex In the Car
ter building be rented, In order to es
cape the danger
All of tho members weio opposed to
this plan, on the ground that the at
tendant expense would be entirely un
necessary, as tho childien could go
without tiouble to No. 27 school.
Messrs. Hartfet and Goodman, two of
the signers of the petition, made brief
addresses, explaining the great danger
of tho railroad crossing and how they
were always on the anxious seat about
their chlldien's safety.
The amendment, being put, was lost
by an ovei whelming vote, Mv. Shires
himself being the only one voting for
It. The committee's recommendation
was then adopted.
President Jayne brought up the coal
question. He said that neither tho
Clark Tunnel company nor Hugh Gil
more, who have the contract for fur
nishing coal, have a ton on hand, and
said that many buildings have not a
bit of fuel In their bins In case a cold
snap should suddenlv come on.
The matter was finally settled by Mr.
Baiker, who moved that, until tho next
meeting of the board, the supply com
mittee be authorized to pui chase such
coal as was absolutely necessary for
each building, regurdless of existing
contiaets. This motion was adopted.
The building committee was author
ized to sell the Iron screens which wore
bought for No. 19, but condemned by
the board of health.
Miss Iiene Goodman was appointed
as an Intermediate C teacher at No. 88
school. When the meeting adjourned a
box of clgnis, addressed to the boaid,
was iccelved from her fathet.
- "Perhaps we hadn't better take
these," said Mr. Francois, looking
aiound at the newspaper men. "We
may be Lexowed next." The box didn't
last two minutes, however.

WANTS CITY TO PAY
HIGHER WATER RATE
PRESIDENT W. W. SCRANTON'S
LETTER TO MAYOR MOIR.
In a Communication Sent to His
Honor Yesterday the President of
tho Scranton Gas and Water Com
pany Says That on nnd After Oc
tober 1 the Company Will Refuse
to Recognize the Existing Rato of
85,000 Per Year No Contract Ex
ists at the Present Time.
Mayor Molr yesterday received of
ficial notification from President W.
W. Scranton, of the Scranton Gas and
Water company, that on and nfter
October 1 that company will no longer
furnish the water for city purposes
at existing rates. This notification
was made hi tho following communica
tion: Olllco Scianton Oai anJ Water Companj1.
Sept 2S, 1000
lion Jamej Molr, Mijor o' Fcranton.
Dear Sir: The contriet made by the cltj with
the Scranton Gas and Water companj for water,
Oct 1, 16i. terminated Oct. 1, 1MK; rate,
$1,1100 per annum At, the date of the cxccii
tlon of this contract theie were connected with
the mains of this company, 171 public tiro hj
urants, 11 engine houses, i station houses
The contract made by the cltj with the l'rovl
denie Cas and Water compiny for water nn
Jan 1, 1&S7, terminated Jan. 1, 1812, rati,
$1,000 per annum. At the date of the execution
of this contract there wrro connected with the
mains of that companj', 80 public Arc bjdrants,
4 engine houses
The two companies were consolidated in Inly,
1000.
The city has so Increased Its me of water that
there are at this- date connected with the water
mains of this companj, including the- Pros!
dime division, SOU public fire hjdrants, 10 en
glue houses, J station houses, the Municipal
building, the public library, the city crematory,
and the city parks.
Since about 1S93 the city has also used im
mense quantities of water from the public fire
hjdrants during the summer and fall months,
at the times when it Is most difficult to main
tain the normal siippl", to wash the paved
streets throughout the cltv, as well as to flush
the city sewers. In tho central city double and
fien triplo hjdrants havo largely replaced the
single hjdrants formerly Used
In short, the city government la now using
fully five times aa much water m when thn
contracts svpre made and fhe pnee paid, 000
per annum, Is no longer equitable
t'nder these circumstances, we beg to give J on
notice that tho terms of the above contracts,
which expired so many years ago, will not be

understanding,
ABOUT THE HANDLEY ESTATE.
Proceedings Have Been Commenced
at Winchester, Va.
The following special dispatch from
Winchester, Va., was ptlnted In yes
tei day's Washington Star:
Suit was entered in the circuit court here this
afternoon bv the board of Handles trustees to
have the lourt detinu the duties and powers of
the trustees and to utilize the fund left bj
the late Judge John llandley to the city of Win
chrstir as soon as possible Judge llandley died
in l$')f, leaving the city of Winchester WAOilo
for a public libiarj, and M30.000 for Industrial
schools, the money first to be invested in Vir
ginia bonds until the accumulated Inteiest
equaled the plincipal Mleged heirs attacked
the will, but were beaten in all the courts
This litigation ha Just ended, and the trustees
on this account have been unable to collect the
full bequests.
When Judge Handle made his will he cvl
dently thought Winchester would be a large citv
when the provisions of the will had been com
plied with, and he also thought that bv invist
ing the principal of his bequests In Virginia
state bonds, the accumulated interest would
vqual the principil In les.s than fifteen J card.
As a matter of fact, with the low market value
and rate of interest of Virginia bonds, together
wltli the slowness of the executors In turning
over the moiiev, it would require about fortv
years for the Interest to equal the principal In
the meantime, the citj council, to whom the
trustees are answerable, lilt upon a plan for nit
earlier carrying out of the provisions of the
will. But the council could not act in Hie mat
ter without J favorable report from the trustees
The trustees deemed the- propostd plan Illegal
and refused to accede to the council's wishes
This resulted In a rupture between the two
bodies, and the suit today was brought In de
fine the trustees' powers and to construe eertaln
portions of the will, with a view to beginning
the cairjiug out of tiie provisions of Ihe will at
once. The use will be heard in November.
