Brown, in au inter view concerning the Pennsylvania rail road mileage book, for which S3O is charged,, the additional $lO being held as a guarantee that no one but the purchaser can use it, savs there are features about the mileage book which are annoying and appear to be in vio lation of the spirit of the constitution, and the protests of the traveling public and the Internal Affairs department have been disregarded. If the company's charter ]>ermits it to make such demands then its action is legal; if, on the contrary, the ac cumulation of hundreds of thousands of dollars, as a deposit from the pur chasers of mileage books, is not auth orized by law, then the company's ac tion is illegal. Major Brown cites the constitution to show that 4 ' no corpora tion shall engage in any business oth er than that expressly authorized in its charter." and no carrying company shall directly or indirectly engage in auy other business. He holds that this holding up of the $lO by the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company is dangerous ly near the banking business,and prop er regard for the depositors would suggest the payment of interest on de posits. "The fact is," concludes Major Browu, "that the mileage book put ou the markot some two or three yearn ago wax not the result of the best thought iu connection with tlie transportation of passengers,but those who conceived the idea are not willing to acknowl edge tlio wrong inflicted upon the pub lic, as they would do by abandoning the scheme. It bo ab andoned just the same." "The Homeless 26," an organization of traveling mcn.numbering thousands in Pennsylvania, witli offices iu Pitts burg,has addressed a letter to Govern or Pennyi>acker calling attention to the uujustuess of the Pennsylvania railroad's demand for an extra ten dollars before it w ill issue a twenty dollar mileage ticket, and asking whether any reform legislation to pre vent this would be considered' at the coming extra session. The Governor replied that the suggestion would bo carefully considered. Commercial or ganizations all over the country are taking the matter up, and if nothing is done at the coming extra session, the subject will certainly get before the regular session in 1807. Forty States' Divorce Union. The Commission appointed by Gov ernor Pennypacker to codify divorco ; laws of the State and to arrange for a congress of delegates from all the States of the Union at Washington on i February 19 to obtaiu uniform mea ! sures of divorce, had its third meeting | in Williamsport on Friday. ' The Commission consists of William H. Stakey and Walter G. Smith, of Philadelphia, and C. Laßue Munson, of Williamsport, and it announced that already thirty States had notified it of appointment of delegates to the congress at Washington ; 10 more had ; signified an intention of doing so at once, and but one declined. This was South Carolina, and the Governor of that State explained that inasmuch as his State has divorce laws it would not be necessary to bo represented in the congress. Among the delegates ohosen are a number of bishops, one archbishop aud a number of other prominent ecclesias j tical men. RELATING TO DIPHTHERIA The subject of diphtheria claimed the attention of the School Board fur while .Monday and notion was taken on a very important point relat ing to the disease, which, it seems, does not come iu under any of the rules laid down by the State to govern the schools. Borough Superintendent Gordy call ad attention to cases which now and thou occur iu which when diphtheria breaks out, others iu the same house hold who are not infected leave and r.f ter sojourning iu some other residence when the card is removed at their own home return aud as the latter placo has undergone fumigation witli some show of right claim the privilege of attending school immediately. Pro fessor Gordy explained that it is a feature of such cases not covered by the school law anil that it remained for the School Board to decide wheth er these pupils returning home be per mitted to attend school immediately after fumigation at the pareutnl resi dence or that they be required to re main out of school thirty days as the other children of the household who passed through the quarantine are re quired to do by the school law. Thero was a lougthy discussion on the subject of diphtheria aud on the provisious of the school law rclatiug to it, which latter several of tho mem bers unhesitatingly pronounced absurd, although no one took the view that the law iu the premisos should be ignored. Dr. Harpel regrettod that thero is such au exaggerated idea of diphtheria abroad iu the community. There is a positive scaro, ho said, which is un warranted by tho real conditions. Tho recent article iu the News on tho sub ject by tho Board aud Dr. Harpel askeil that the same lino of writing be pursuod to theond that tho public bo reassured. Dr. HariKsl moved that in cases such as above quoted, pupils temporarily absent from their homes and returning immediately after fumigation bo per mitted to attend school at once. The motion being duly secouded was put j to a vote aud lost. Ou motion of Mr. Fischer it was ordered tlmt Miss Lowry's school iu the Third Ward bo closed this fore noon and that tho room bo fumigated as a precaution owing to tho fact that a case of diphtheria has brokeu out among the pupils. Tho disease de veloped last Friday, although tno fact was not reported to the teacher until yesterday. Tho truant officer presented his re port as follows: Pupils sick, 65; trn auts, 10; those without suitable cliotli iug, 12; notices sout out, 8. Mr. Pursel reported the loss of a tree at the Second Ward School Building, which wan brokeu off by a runaway toam. The tree was about 4 inches in diutneter aud was growing nicely at a spot whore it was always very difficult to get a tree to grow. It was tho souse of the School Board that the owner of the team, which it was alleged had been loft uutied, should be held re sponsible for the loss aud be made to pay for the tree. Mr. Pursel was re quested to bring tho mutter to tho owner's attention. On motion of Mr. Heiss it was ord ered that an electric light be placed in the hall way of the Third Ward School Building, provided that the Light Company agrees that, the account shall rim only during the school term. Treasurer Schram presented a state ment of finances to date, which show ed a casli balance ou hand of $9475.87.
