Blooming Plants For now and Decoration duy, at CJIwk's, florist ilny HATTON LOT AGAIN BOUGHT THIS TIME THE BOARD WILL PAY ?3,000 FOB IT. Some Months Ago the Board Decid ed to .Pny 84,500 for tho Property but the Warrant Wb Held Up. Slto for Now No. 8 Purchased for 810,000 Architect B. T. Lacey Will Draw tho Plans for the New Building: To Observe Flag Day. There was much talk nbout economy and the necessity of keeping down ex penses nt last night's meeting of tho school board and a lengthy meeting was the result. Tho purchase of the Hatton lot ad joining No. 23 school was again brought up by II. J. O'AInlley and nf tcr a good dcnl of tulle and a declara tion against the purchase by W. II. Christmas, the controller from tho ward, It was decided by the following vote to buy tho property for $3,G00: For O'Mullcy, Murphy. Iloche, Welsh, rtoblnson, Walsh, Jennings, Sohrlefcr, Pelf, aibbons-10. Against Christmas, Kynon, Phillips, llnud, Jnyue, Kvans, Leonard 7. This property was originally pur chased by the board for $4,500, but the board decided tho price was too high and Iho warrant to pay for It was held up pending Investigation, Hatton agreed to reduce the price to $3,500 and last night the board by the vote given above, 10 to 7, decided to buy it. It Is questionable If the property Is yet pur chased for tho reason that It requires eleven votes, a majority of the mem bers, to buy properly. It Is contended by some that this was not an actual purchase, since that was- done before, this being merely a fixing of the price. The purchase of a new site for No. 8, diagonally across Cedar avenue from the present building, for $16,000, was recommended by the building commit tee and after a dozen or more speeches the recommendation was approved. The lots have a frontage of 130 feet nnd a depth of 190, B. T. Lacey was em powered to draw tho plans for an eight room building to occupy the site.

Brown, appeal, there was no appearance for the plaintiff and a non suit was granted. Before Judge Newcomb the case of Wright Lowry against George Thacher was called. Lowry has a farm at Green Grove, and he said he sold a cow and a quantity of produce to Thacher, all of which was valued at $10. There was no appearance on the part of tho defend ant, and a verdict for $61.13, tho full amount of tho claim with Interest, was returned In favor of Lowry.

He was represented by At torney John H. Bonner, and the defend ants by Attorneys James E. "Watklns and John F. Murphy.

In court room No. 2, before Judge Mc Clure, the trespass case. of Mrs. Mar garet Thomas against the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail road company was put on trial yester day.

Ho wus killed In the wreck which resulted, near the bottom of the mountain, when the runaway train crashed Into a train which was ahead of It. Mrs. Thomas has two children, nnd sho sues to re cover damages In the sum of $50,000. Sho Is represented by Attorneys C. E. Olvor and I, II. Burns, nnd tho com pany by Attorneys Everett Warren und O. P. O'Malley. Tho wrecked train was a "wild cat" going south from Oouldsboro. Tho plaintiff's contention Is that tho curs wero old and tho air-brakes not in c-ood order nnd because of this tho heavy train could not be controlled on the down grade. The witnesses examined yesterday were tjjo widow, Mrs. Thorn as, and Theodore Stevens, tho head brnkeman, who gave a very graphic de scription of tho terrible rldo down tho mountain side after tho engineer had lost control of the train. Stevens said that nt tho top of tho mountain tho train stopped and a bad pleco of nlr brako hose was taken out. When the train was reodv to resume Its course Engineer Thomas tried tho air, said It was right, und tho rldo to death down the mountain began. The cuso will bo resumed this morning.
