This is in accordance with an announcement by Mr. T. J. James, chairman of tho committee, who has been notified that the committee appointed to select a site has completed its work anil is ready to report. Tho exact nature of the report is not known, but it is understood that it will favor a site on East Centro street, between Main and White. In calling this meeting Chairman James makes an urgent appoul for tho attendance of representatives iiom every society in the town, so that aU may havo nn opportunity to be heard on the question of site nnS tho best method for railing funds. It is highly essential that tho latter ques tion should bo settled at once, as many of tho organizations and individuals who have pledged themselves to contribute to the fund are desirous of taming thoimoney over to tho treasurer. One of tho main questions to ba settled -whether or not tho committee will issuo cer tificates or -stocK to peopio who may cou tribute. A number of tho commlttco men favor this plan, but do not wish to adopt it until the societies of town have ample op portunity to have a voice in the matter. The secretary has issued invitations to all tho societies aud it is hoped they will be well represented at the meeting to-morrow night.

It is expected tho Ashland branch of the road will ho in operation by December 1st. Three care havo beeu sent to Qilberton and will commence running as soon as tho track is finished. The entire line between Maha noy,Plane and Mahanoy City will be put in operation at the same time. Ono huudrod men are engaged on this branch. This will probi'bly be tho last week for the open cars. Two closed curs aro about ready at tho power liouso and will very likely bo put on the road by Saturday evening. By December 1st tho company expects to havo ten cars in operation on the Seuaudoah- Girurdvlllo branch. When tho open cars aro replaced with tho two closed ones Bix will bo in operation and tho bodies for four moro closed cars have been ordered. Two of them will bo placed ou tho trucks of tho summer curs, which wilt bo stored away until the next summor soason. A Mpilorn Marvel. When The PUUImrg Timet took possession of its splendid building last April its pub lishers promised that Ihe Time would grow in excellence in the samo proportion as its quarters have been enlarged, The Times had already won such a proud position among the nowspapors of tho country that thcro was general curiosity to know how the promise would bo redeemed. That curiosity has been most pleasantly gratified, The Timet has been so enlarged, and so many now features have been added, that it is every where cited as a marvel of modsru jour nalism. The chief wonder is that a nows paper so complete in every respect cau bo sold for one cent a day, or $3.00 per yoar, little moro than the cost of a first olass weekly paper. If any of our readers aro not familiar by personal Inspection with the merits of The Timet, we advise them to send for a sample copy, which will bo mailed freo to any address. If there is no ugent for Tlie Timet in your locality it will pay you to wrlto to TU Ttmet for terms to agents.

Give us something harder to digest, dear Chranlete. Alox. McClure, of the Philadelphia Timet, is making free trade sieeches in different sections of the state and is booked for Scranton this evening. But Alex, cannot fit d timo to accept Ilrumm's challenge for a discussion of the tariff question. The latter's debating abilitios and his knowledge of tho subject are too much for tho wily Alex. Brumm's election is now a cortainly. Tho femalo portion of our population are solid for him, Last evening, while on his way to Lcwt Creek, he was compelled to address a large crowd of tho fair sex, who made the car ring with cheers for our next Congressman. The New York Tablet, (Catholic), says a strong effort will bo made south of the Har leni to keep down tho great Democratic ma jority, and those who recall tho splendid Republican showing ruado in this city in tho election of 18D0 may confidently look for want for good results. A greater nuraler of Democratic workmen will vote Uio Republi can ticket in New York city and Brooklyn than in any past election. The party man agers throughout the country districts should thcrofore take every necessary precaution to bring every Republican voter to the polls. If thoy como with their normal majority to the Harlem theto cannot be anydonbt e-f success. A big haul of Tammany floaters 1,500 of them will bo made in a few days. They will bo put where their votes wont count. Another Irish-Democratic club in Now York lias gouo over to the Republicans. WASHINGTON LETTER. Senator Quay u Conspicuous 1'lgure at the Cnptlnl, Special IIehald correspondence. Washington, Nov. 2. Duriug tho past week interest in tho political outlook has been overcome by sympathy with and in terest in the family of the President, during their sad bereavement, As but ouo week remains within which the rest of tho campaign work must bo done, and tho greatest efforts of the leaders of both parties will be exerted in that timo, the interest and attention which are directed upon the great political ombat are all-ab sorbing. Throughout the various depart ments of tbo government, the election is tho ouo topic of conversation, and inciden tally considerable money is wagered ou the result. Democratic confidence in tho general result iias abated somewlmt, but they seem iugly claim that their candidates will carry New York with their old timo assurance. Tho apiearauee of Senator Quay at the Republican headquarters' was tho theme of conversation and the object of a great deal of speculation. It was surprising to see the general gain in confidence among the Republicans when it was learned that the silent hut successful leader of the struggle of 1888 was at the holm. None the less sur prising was the fear as to the result that tbo event created in Democratic circles. It goes to show that notwithstanding the maligning and criticism to which Pennsylva nia's great politician has been subjected, tho people generally recognizo thai fact that tho credit for tho Republican victory in tbo last presidential election was very largely due to Senator Quay. From Indiana the advices of last week are such as are calculated to reassure tho friends of tho administration, and justify the assert ion mado in my former letter that tho disaffection iu tho Republican ranks was not wido spread, but was confined to what is known as the Fort Wayne district. Tho samo opposition to President Harrison ex isted there in 1SSS, and tho fact that it crops out again need cause no especial anxiety. The advice given by Quay during his so journ in New York that special attention be given to states other than New York state has increased the activity of both parties in several of tho smaller doubtful states. Con necticut this year is more of u puzzlo than ever, aud it is admitted on both sides that the victory, on whatever side it is, will bo by an extremely small margin. The same may be said of West Virginia in regard to which tho general opinion seems to bo that Secretary of War Elkins holds himself, as it wore, person ally responsible that hisstato shall he found iu the ranks of the Republican electors. LIttIo comment is beard hero as yet in re gard to the political complexion of the next Houso of Representatives. A statement was given out last week that gavo the Democrats 100 members, tho Republicans 1G0, and the remaining 30 members credited to tho Thlid party au J Farmer's Alliance, coming chiefly from the south and west. Another estimate gives the Republicans ten plurality, but gives about the samo number to the third party. If the result should be as thus outlined, the fight for Speaker in tho next Uouse will be more than ordinarily interesting, as neither of the old parties having a majority of tho whole House, the small body of third party meniliers would be in a jiosition to dictate as to tho ontiro organisation of tho House.

REDUCTION OF THE TAX RATE The Increased Assessments Enable the Board to Levy Fifteen Mills Instead of Eighteen. The Gather Propirly CHOOL boatd held its regular monthly meet ing last night and arranged several im portant matters. The directors present were Messrs. Conry, Brcn- nan, Gable, Burke, Lynch, Hauna, Muldoon, Beddall, Trosise, Ogden, Bachman, O'Heurn and Williams. Superintendent Freeman made his monthly report, the substance of which has already appeared in the Herald. In addition he reported that the night schools opened Tut day evening with small attendances. Seven teachers are employed in the work. Applications from tho following named teachers for increase of salaries wero read Misses Hattle Hess, Corlnne Tempest, Nellie Baird, Hannah B.. Morrison, Mary Roberts and Irene Shane, and Frank Williams. President Conry said that tlieio is a con tinued scramble for positions as teachers and as soon as they are secured thcroisuscrnmblo for increased salaries. Ho said ho believed the board is dealing as good with teaehers as any board in the state. A statement was made that ene of the teachers is receiving a larger salary than the other teachers in the same grade, although her class is no larger. In response to this it was stated that Miss Smith was given a larger salary because, at the time, she had tho largest class, but sluco then tho size of the class has been reduced. Tho board decided that as all salaries have been fixed for the year the request ef the petitioners could not be considered. A communication from the state depart ment of public instruction requesting the board to havo photographs made of the school buildings for dUplay iu the school exhibit at tho World's Fair was read. Di rector Beddall mado a strong appeal for a compliance with tho request, but tho pietuies were turned toward the wall. The board reasoned that school districts that can set along with four aud five mills cau better afford to furnish photographs than this dis trict. But Messrs. Beddall and Trezise did not alter their opinion on the question, J. R. Coyle, Esq., solicitor for the board, was present and made a report concerning the Cather property. Ho said that W. J. McCarthy, Mark Bowman and 'Squire Chrlstmau, tho viowors, had decided that the property the board desires for school purposes ! jonn tm. m. ,, thought, too high. Ho said ho believed that the viewers were influenced in making tho valuation by assuming that the rest of the Cather property would be depreciated in value by having a school building adjoining j it. Mr. Coyle said that the board could ask for a review if it so desired. Ho also said that Mr. Breckons, attoruoy for the Cithers, had stated tint although the property sought iho UaDlBmea who r()turnel to tow yM by tho board had boon assessed at $1,200, Mrs. day aud as a result of a day's hunt they Cather would take $4,000 for it, or sell tho showed 15 quail, a rabbit, pheasant aud red entire property for $7,500; aud that Mr. B(luirrel- Breckons had also stated that tho Cather!

It is believed tho iiroposed new building will bo erected as an addition to the school building at the corner of Centre und West streets. The finance committee presented a report showing that under tho increased assessments tho board could reduce tho tax rate to 15 mills aud yet havo more money than it had under tho 18 mill rate, whereupon the board adopted a resolution reconsidering the fixing of tho tax rato and fixing the rate at 15 mills.

An electric car struck the wagon and Mr. Cross was thrown between the horse and shafts. The horse took fright und ran off, but fortunately it was stopped before Mr Cross was dangerously injured. Tho accident was not due to carelessness, but rather to thu nervousness of a new motor man, who attempted to stop his car when he saw the wagon, but put on the powor instead of shutting it off. Tho bell for St. Joseph's Catholic ehr.rrb has arrived. It is said to be the largest in the coal regions and weighs sixteen hundred pounds. When placed in the tower it will be heard miles around.
