Tho most important business of the oven
ing was that relating to tho inspection and
fate ol the White street school building,
A lengthy report by Mr. Murphy, of which
the following is a copy, was road:
SInco recoiving your communication of
April 8th, 1892, containing measurements and
general data concerning repairs to your falling
brick school house, I nave been unablo to come
to ftuch conclusion as I have doslrod. All ex
perience demonstrates the dangers of dcfcctlv
construction, particularly in public buildings.
Our recent firo here, at which X was proscnt
which destroyed the Central Theatre, tho
Time Annex and other buildings, is a late and
awful illustration. Tho manner In which
portions of the walls fell nnd the difficulty
which tho contractor has since had In getting
the balanco of the walls to fall, shows the un-
certainties of any such conditions.
Having been executive officer of the Engl-
neers' Club of Philadelphia for many years,
my acquaintance among engineers is unusually
large and I have availed myself of the benefit
of consultations, in your matter, with at least
four engineers of decided and well deserved
prominence and all of them agreed with me
concerning tho danger and difficulty which
beset your problem.
Of course tho simple solution would be
take down the entire building, using such nor'
lions as remained suitable In the construction
of a frame structure upon tho same site, but
have boeu endeavoring to satisfy myself that
this saorllloe of so vuluablu a building could bo
safely avoided.
While I am convinced thut the very Imperfect
work and material in tho masonry foundations
are sufficient to account for tho conditions, nnd
while I deem It praotloable to rebuild these
foundations In a satisfactory manner, I cannot
convince myself that the ground on which these
foundations rest is not of uncertain stability.
While no well detined sinks may ooour, as Is
frequent In limestone regions, there Is no
danger of a large area of surface being gen
orally affected by mining operations underneath,
nnd I am sure that your building is not to bo
regarded as safe under such a condition.
I do not predict such an occurrence, but there
is danger, just as there is of earthquakes In,
Japan, where a building like yours would not
be admissible, even if built In the best usual
manner and yet where It might stand for ages
without any tendency to fall.
I consider it probable that, with proper
masonry foundations under It, and proper ties
your building would be permanently safe, and
if nothing but the loss of additional money
were to bo considered. I would not hositato to
undertake the necessary repairs; but, as It
entirely possible that the ground underneath
may prove unstable and as the precious Hies of
your children and teachers nro involved, wc
cannot but feel conscientiously obliged to be
moro than cautious.
I therefore am compelled to conclude that
tho only absolutely me courso is to abandon
tho use of the present building. In Its present
condition, without repairs, it Is not lit to be
used for any othor purpose and, should it
collapse, it might do serious damage, so, it it Is
decided to abandon It, it should be promptly
taken down.
If, however, In view of all the conditions, the
Hoard desire that the structure shall not be
sacrificed, I would stnto that I havo considered
several plans for its rescue.
Should It bo decided to endeavor to preserve
the wholo structure, all tho present foundation
walls should bo removed, part at a time, and
replaced with thoroughly good rubblo masonry,
laid in the very best American cement mortar.
These now walls should bo thick at basoand
the upper wnlls should be substantially tied.
This work should not bo dono by contract but
by day's work, by highly skilled masons under
constant nnd most competent supervision, all
of the materials being purchased by tbo Hoard.
Additional stone, also, would no doubt bo
quired for headers, for In lack of bond, and
other respects, these- foundations are perhaps
the worst I over saw In a building of this
character. I estimate that to do this work
properly would cost about 96,000.
Another plan would be to removo tho upper
story and lower the roof, thus altering the
building to a two story one, but I would not
trust tho present foundations with even this
diminished weight without extensive repairs to
them, and I therefore consider that tho total
cost would probably bo about the same.
I have considered, also, a plan for tho re
moval of the third and second stories and their
replacement by two framo stories, forming
building similar to many that have been built,
but I havo concluded that it would bo better
and more satisfactory to replace the whole
structure with framo, than to adopt this plan.
If you decide upon tho tearing down of the
building and the substitution of a framo one, a
large-number of tbo bricks should bo used to
build a proper firo escape. Theso flimsy iron
stairways, passing in front of windows from
which volumes of flames are almost certain to
Issue, are a sham and a fraud. After much
careful attention to this subject, lam convinced
that the only good practicable tiro escapo Is a
substantial brick tower with a safe stairway
therein, the tower to bo located far from the
building and connected with each floor by open
bridges.
The balanco of tho bricks could bo sold, nnd
much of tho other material in tho present
building used over again, thus dimlnishiffg the
cost of anewone. Tho cost of a new frame
building would depend largely upon its stylo
and tlulsh, nnd ostlmates and designs can be
furnished as soon as these points are generally
determined.
In conclusion I would say that I have never
had a structural problem Involving so much
dlflloulty nnd uncertainty. I have tried hard to
devise means to savo your building and, were
there no doubt as to the stabtlltyTJT the ground
underneath, I bellovo it could bodono with the
assurance of permanent safety.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD MUIU'HY,
Civil and Hydrnullo Engineer.
After a lengthy discussion of thejropert it
was decided that tho matter hi loft in the
hands of thpbuilding committee- and that
tho commiUoe invito somo of the beet town

tend a meeting and disouis tho matter,
with a view to determining what shall be
done with tho building.
An Indlsputed Test of Merit.
A medicine that has beon a household
remedy for over fifty yi-ars and used in
that time by moro than 150,000,000 persons
must havo great merit. Such a medicine
is found in Brandreth's Pills. This fact
demonstrates tho value of those pills bettor
than any statement of the proprietors. It
will be observed that the doso required to
cure is small. Ono or two pills taken
every night for ten or twenty days will
cure dyspepsia, costiveness, rheumatism,
liver complaint, biliousness, or any disease
arising from an impure stato of tho blood.
Brandreth's Pills aro purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safe to tako at
time.

SENSATIONAL
bomb was exploded
hero to-day by the
discovery, of a circular
distributed in town by
some unknown people
The circular is print
ed in tho Polish and
Lithuanian language and its terms are of
the most violent character. No circular
issued within the memory of man has been
of a moro pronounced Anarchistic char
acter.
Tho paper is directed against tho Jewish
people of the town and they are greatly
agitated over it. They gathored in tbo
store of one of their countrymen to-day
and discussed the original circular and a
translation of it in an indignant manner.
Tho sourco ol tho circular is not known,
but by tho vlgiience of peoplo sent out by
objects of the attack circumstances that
indicate the guilty parlies have been
secured and tho matter will undoubtedly
be placed in the hands of the District At
torney within a few days.

The Jews into whoso hands the circular
fell to-day wero too greatly excited to say
much to a Hkrald reporter. They wanted
nothing said in the newspapers about tho
matter for the present, as they wanted to
get somo traco of the guilty parties, but
thoy admitted that they already had a
good clue.
Messrs. "Wolf Levino, Levi Kefowicb,
L. Goldin, and a number of tho other
Jewish clothing merchants wore in almost
constant consultation this alternoon.,
Thoy all agrepd that tho circular was 4
evidently a scheme to detract the Polish
and Lithuanian patronage from them, but
asserted that tho measure is an exact
counterpart of that adopted against tho
Jews in tho old country. They say that
recently arrived Polish and Lithuanian
Immigrants aro mombors of an anti-Jewish
society oxisting in thoir own country and
they are sowing its seeds here at every
opportunity. Thoy further claim that the
Jews of town have been persecuted un
mercifully for several weeks past
and that their wives and daughters are,
insulted wherever they are met.
Chief Burgess Smith vouched for a case"
in which he and a special ofScor were
obliged a few nights ago to arrest two Lithu
anians who grossly insulted two Jewesses
on South Main street.
Wolf Levine and bis friends assert that
whenevor he stands in front of his place of
business ho is called a hog, and otherwise
insulted.
Chief Burgess Smith says that ho will
cah bis specials into active, duty and do
ovorything necoeeary to quash these prac
tices. The Jews who have a copy of the cir
cular have engaged counsel and say they
will not place tho matter in the hands of
tho authorities at once.
It is but fair to state that there aro a
number of the Polish and Lithuanian
peoplo who condemn the actions of tho
unknown parties in tho most severe terms. J
They say that tho parties who had a hand
