CITIZENS MAKING IMPROVEMENTS It Is Now the Duty of tho Sohool Board and Borough Council Authorities to do Their Share. MMWITjir street pavomenls aro now receiving the atentlon of pur poo pie and in all section of the town property owners are replacing dolapidated old wood walk?, with the better looking and moro sub Tbcse improvomonte stantial flagstones. are especially noticeable on "White street, in front of the Watson and O'Hara proper ties, and on Jardin street, between Centre nnd Oak streets. And now that tho Individual property owners are bestirring themselves in tbe matter of street improvements let us call tho School Hoard to ordor, in pursuance of a request by a prominent White street resi dent. Tho wooden pavement in front of the "White street school building is in a horrible condition. Some of tho planke are high, others are low, many aro 10 badly worn that Immonso splinters threaten to drive themselves into tho shoes of pedes trians, and tho spikes in all of them project above tbe level, in some cases an inch, threatening to either tear the dresses or shoes of passers-by, or cause people to trip nnd have ugly falls. Tho School Board has dono excollent pavement work at the Coal street building. Now let attontion be turned to the "Whito street property. V And when tbo School Board turns its at tontion to tbe latter property lot it cast its oyes upon tbo grey-haired iron railing in front of tho building. It is tottering and looks as if a breeze would blow it down, This railing should bo braced and painted. With this improvement and the painting of the building tho structure will be some thing to which tbe people may point with pride. And now that I am calling the.School Board to order let mo also say to tho Borough Council, the Chief Burgess and the Sanitary committee, that it is very essential that their attention bo directed to tho condition of two particular parts of the town. Complaint is made that an un bearable s'.ench arises from certain proper ties on "White Btreot, south of Oak. But tbo case which demands immediate and effectual action presents itself at tho south ond of "West stroet. There filth is flowing over tbo rocks and presonts what one of tho residents says, is a disease breeding Niagara. Chiif Burgoss Smith and Chief of Police Davis have not stlccooded In establishing the idontity of the boy who is stopping at tho latter's house and who was arrested on Monday night as a vagrant. They have established one thing, howovor, and that is tbo boy, although evidently well brod and well educated, is liable to lie a little. Those who read tbo account of the case in yosterday's Herald will remember that the boy was crodited with saying that he know tbe Roman Catholic priest and a school teacher in Mahanoy City. Ho also stated thai be lived in that town, at No. 12 Fine street, about a year ago. Burgess Smith visitod Mahanoy City yesterday and learned that neither the priest or school teacher knew the boy. Smith also found that thoro is no building at No. 12 Pino streot. A vacant lot is thoro. Nocluotoaboy of "O'Kourko's" namo or description is missing from Mah anoy City and tbo lottcr carriers of tbe town, who have moro than once succoeded in returning stray boys to tbeir homes, know nothing of tho boy bore. Thero are O'Kourko families roslding in Buck Moun tain and New Boston, but these places bavo not been visited yet. Chief Burgess Smith and Cbief of Police Davis now incline to tho theory that the boy is a fugitive from St. Vineont's Home, Phil adelphia, and that during a brief visit to Mahanoy City he gleaned (tho facts upon which he based bis story to our police. Tbe investigation Is still going on. Pbtku. TWO HARVEST EXCURSIONS Viu the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul It'y, August SO, and September -87.

Spieie, of Tamaqua, Baid, "Tho obnoxious word 'whito' still remains in tbo constitution as one of tho qualifications of membership, and our present ritualistic work is far Jrom satis factory to a majority of the camps; wo aro, however, now' promised that an elaboration and perfection of tho one degreo ideal will bo adopted and enacted by tbe National Camp at their meeting to be held at Lob anon on tho 20th of next month, Tho simplification of tbo ritualistic work nnd tho introduction of tho one degree system seems to meet with general favor, and so far as I am able to judge theio U very little opposition to tbo cbango." President Spiose also said, "The manner of selecting District Presidents should be changed, The present method may seem to be vory simple but to the anxious State President, I beg to assure you, it is yory difficult and the source of no little annoy ance. As so much depends upon tho character and fitness of tho person chosen to act for tho State Camp in this capacity, I would recommend that each district bold a District Convention and elect tho District President for the ensuing year, or that where no District Conventions aro held, than each Subordinate Camp express its choice lor some brotbor who is qualified and send in the name with tbo annual report on tbe 30th of Juno." Tbo stato secretary's report is most flat tering and shows a large increase in mem bership, the total number being 60,000, eighty camps being added within tbo year, making this the banner one in tho camp's history". A proposition to loa a the money of the State Camp to subordinate camps was not approvod. The Stato Gamp expected to adjourn sine die at noon to-day.

INTERESTING SCHOOL BOARD SESSION DISCUSSION OVER PROMOTION OF TEACHERS. MOTIONS HEAPED UPON MOTIONS A Committeo Rocommouds School Teacher Conry and an Attempt to Substituto Miss Bronnan Causes Discussions. CIIOOL Board met last evening for gen eral businoss, but especially to provide for tbo transfer of certain school teachers. It appears that Miss Mc Fad den, who taught in the Coal streetbuildlng last term, Is to bo transferred to a school moro centrally located in town and it therefore became necossary to make an appointment to fill ber placo. All the directors of the board were prosont and it was quito evidont that a fight of eomo kind was on foot. The in dications were not false ones, for beforo the board adjourned there was a very lively scene. When tho board was ready for business Secrotary Hanna read the applications of James It. Lewis, M. F. Conry and Miss Mary A. Slack for promotion to first grade grammar schools. Upon President Conry's instructions the committoe on teachers and salaries with drew from tho meeting to consider the ap plications. Tho committee remained in session for some time and evidently had a lively time of it, Messrs. Williams and Uachman eventually leaving Messrs. Gal lagher, Burke and O'Hearn, tho majority of the committee, to do as thoy pleased. Finally all members of the committed returnod to the room and Mr. Gallagher made the following report: "Wo rocom mend that M. F. Conry be appointed to the first grade grammar school made vacant by the resignation of Miss Lesslg; that the salary of the first grade primary school in the Coal street building bo raised to $15 per month and that Mr. Burke be appointed teacher of the fourth grade primary school in the Union street building. Alter some discussion over tho report, during which Messrs. Bachman and Williams said thoy did not concur in it, Mr. Davenport moved that tho matter of appointing teachers to fill vacancies bo left in tho hands of tbo superintendent. Mr. Lynch amended that the assign monts bo mado as recommended by tbo committeo. Mr. Davenport then kindlod the fire by stating that the assignment business seemed to him as a family affair. He did not think it right to raiso Mr. Burke over tbo heads of touchers older in service and who bad gone to the cxponso of passing through tho Normal schools. Messrs. Gallagher and O'Hearn retorted warmly. Tho former said that when Mr. Davenport's side had a majority of tho board thoy seomod to think everything they did was all right, but now that the othor side bad a majority Mr. Davonp.rt did not take his modicine very well. Mr, Beddall moved as an amondment to the amendment that Miss Maggio Brennan be appointed to the school for which Mr. uonry was recoramenaoa by the com mittee. A vote was taken. Mr, Troziso retained his seat while Mr. Brennan half arose President Conry doclared tbe amondment to tho amendment lost by a vote of 7 to 6 Mr. Boddall claimed that Mr. Brennan had votsd for the amendmont, but Presi dent Conry ruled that Mr. Brennan bad not raised from his scat so as to bo counted as voting. A yoto on tho amondment to tho motion was then taken. The amendment was de clared It st by a vote of 8 to 7. Then tho motion to refer tho mattor to Superintendent Freeman was taken up and carried unanimously, Mr. Beddall moved that the fixing of salariosjor toachors bo reconsidered and the motion was carried. Mr. Boddall then movod that tho salary for tho school in the Coal street building bo fliod at 15, and this motion was also car rlod. Mr. Davenport then movod that Miss Brennan be appointed to tho place for which Mr. Conry was recommended and President Conry declared the motion out of order on the ground that tho board had voted to leavo tho matter in tho.hands of tbe superintendent. Mr. Beddall then moved that tbe motion leaving the mattor in tho bands of tbe superintendent bo roconsidorod. Prosldent Conry : "I declare the motion out of order.1,' Beddall: "Why?" Conry: "Because you are out of order." Beddall: "We bavo a majority now (moaning that Director Brennan would voto for anything that would lead to the substitution of Miss Urennan, his sister, for Conry) and I would like to know how I am out of ordor." Conry: "Well, you aro out of order." Beddall s "Why ? In what way ?" Conry : "Bocauso you have come hero to mix up things. You aro out of order. I declare this board adjourned." Tho gavel fell and all the directors filod out of the room. Vnlofs the complexion affairs change considerably in tho ueanttm? there will be a lively session at tbe next meeting of tho School Board. Tho rules of the School Board provide that tho superintendent has "solo power to place and. transfer touchers, to suspend them and to make tenipomry appnintments in cases of vacancios occurring m.m sick ness or other circumstance?; but such action shall be reported to the Board for its final decision at its next regular meeting. " It is plain, then, that should Superin tendent freeman placo Messrs. Conry and Burko in tho schools recommended by the committeo, at tho next meeting of tbe board, if Director Brennan continues to stand by tho sovon Citizen members of the board, the superintendent's appointments may be rejected and Miss Brennan may be substituted for Conry. At all events, tbo next moetirg promises to be a lively ono. Superintendent Freeman said last night that he would porbaps make no appoint ments, but leavo the whole matter in the hands of the board. RESPONSIBLE BONDSMEN. A Scheme by Which. Legal Costs May be Collected. The county cemmissioners of Luzorno aro working out a scheme by which thoy expect to recover many thousands of dollars to tho county treasury. At every term of court many litigants on whom tbe costs aro imposed have heretofore escapod payment of thoso costs by sheltering them selves under tho insolvent law, in such a, woy that they are never called on, but, instead, tbe costs are saddled on the county and, of course, paid. Under tbo present condition of affairs the man who has had costs imposed on him, who either cannot pay or doesn't want to and has to go to jail, has his attorney draw up a petition asking for bis discharge from j ail on the ground that ho is insolvent. A bondsman must then be secured in order that the alleged insolvent may not fail to appear at court and have tho matter of his insolvency officially determined. This bondsman obligates himself to see that tho alleged insolvent does thus appear at court, but tho fact is the matter goes no further, the Insolvent goes scot free, tbe county pays tho expenses and the bondsman is nevor bothered as to bis bond. Tbe Luzerne county commissioners havo decided to issue tho following notice to all bondsmen of euch alleged insolvent debtors : Deaii Sm : In No. Term 18 you became hall for the appearance of to the next term of Common Pleas Court, for the purpose of presenting his petition asking for the benefit of tho Insolvent law. The condi tions of this bond have not been complied with, and unless the amount due thereon Is paid within ten days from the date hereof, suit will be brought on it. While it may not be possiblo to collect a great deal in tbo present move, tbe com missioners are sanguine that tbeir attempt will bavo a tendency to prevent a largo number of trivial criminal cases being sent to court that should never be sent, and thus save the county many thousands of dollars of unnecessary expense. THE HOME CLUB BEATEN. The North Knd Club, or Philadelphia, Won Yesterday. A homo club of baso ball players organ ized by 'Squiro Monnghan crossed bats with the North End club, an amateur team of Philadelphia, at tho trotting park yostorday afternoon and suffered defeat by a scoro of 8 to 0.

Tbo homo team scored all its runs before tho close of tho fourth inning and had tho game pretty well in hand up to that time. The visitors then settled down to solid playing and net only prevonted the home boys from sooring any more, but ndded five runs to their score ol three in the sixth inning and held the lead to the end.
