Mrs. Gather.
GHOOL BOAKI) held
Its regular monthly
meeting last night ami
disposed ot, several im
portant matters. Di
rector Muldoon served
as chairman in the
nlueuce of Director
Conry. The otlior director! present were
Messrs. Gallagher, Lynch, -Burke, Davenport,
O'Hearu, Tresise, Gable, llrenuati, Ogdcn,
Ilacliman, Bcddall and Hauna,
31. W. Titinaii, representing the Shenan
doah Heat and Power Company, appeared
before the board and statud thnt ho would
liko to make it contract to lient the Iliuli
School building with sU-am from the com
pany's station at the corner of Lloyd and
Bowers streets. Mr. Tltman said the com
pany would agree to furnish the heat for $300
for a season of eight mouths, or from about
September 15th to May 15th, and would
keep a refiistoreil power of olght pounds iii
tho building, and more in very cold weather.
Tho company could easily connect the pipe?
now in tho building with its own pipes and
have the service ready in three days. Tin
only cost to tho board for making the con
neclions would be $15.. Mr. Titinan said it
was tho Intention of thi! company to event
ually secure a contract for heating -all the
6chool buildings and proposed to ehow the
value of Its servico by Introducing it iu the
High School.
Tho proposition caused quite a spirited
argument. One member thought tho prico
was protty high, as It only costs $174 for coal
used in iho building fur a term of eight
months. Others argued that tho cost of coal
hauling, the cost of a male janitor to look
after the building and the annual expendi
ture lor repairs to tho boilers and heating
apparatus ran tho figure considerably above
that fixed by thu steam heating comiany.
A motion that the board make n contract
with the company for tho remainder of this
term, as a experiment, finally carried, Messrs.
Uurke, O'Hearn and Lynch making a
vigorous protest. At the samo time the board
will rebuild tho chimney and re-arrango the
lieating system of thu building so that it will
bo ready for use in case the company's ben-ice
proves unsatisfactory.
Mr. Josiah Johnson was also present and
made his report as adjuster for the School
Hoard in fixing the damages sustained by the
Are in tho High School building. Mr. John
son said that tho damages to the building
iiud heating apparatus had been agreed upon
between him and tho adjuster for the insur
ance companies at $1,301.-18, and that he
would be willing to take a contract to repair
the damages for that amount. The repoit
was accepted.
On motion, it was decided that J.
O'Xelll b appointed to represent the School
Bond iu tho adjustment of damages sus
tained by the school furnitaio by reason of
the lire.
Superintendent Freeman said he could not
present his statistical report, as the school
month will not close until next Monday.
He announced that whan tho report is ready
it will be furnished tho Hkhai.d for publi
cation. The superintendent also enumerated
tho arrangements made for the schools that
wero disiosseSiiel by the fire and recom
mended that the board get the High School
building iu order as soon as possible. Ho
thought it well only make temporary re
pairs to tho building, as much more- sub
stantial and satisfactory work can bo dono in
tho summer time than in winter. The1 su
perintendent also presented a resolution
highly recommenuiug Mr. A. E. L. Lcckio,
who recently resigned as teacher to accept a
government position iu Washington. Tho
report aud resolution were adopted by the
board.
As a supplemental report the superintend
ent stated that a Mrs. Seibtiri had complained
that P.iehard Mollalo, a teacher, had abused
lior son. Mr. Freeman said he made a full
investigation of the ease aud concluded to
leaVo it at the disposal of the board. Mrs.
Selbert presentad a petition signed by several
pupils, setting forth that Instead of teaching
Mr. Mollale goes to sleep
In Mr. Mcllalo's behalf there was a paper
signed by a numper of pupils setting forth
that they denounce Mrs. Seibert'a petition as
a forgery; that Mlohaet Seiuert, the boy
threw atone at the teaeher, Mrs. Selbert
usodafasasive language, and both Mr. and
Mrs. Seiuert abuted the teaeher.
Superintendent Freeman said that from
what lie could glean the trouble arose iu tho
night school taught by Mr. Mollale. Tho
boys atteudlug that school made praotioe of
making a door mat of a towel used in the
day school. Oue of the Seiburt boys used
the towel id that manner one night and Mr.
Mollale ordered' him to put it where it be
longed. The boy refused, but the teaeher
forced him to comply with the order. The
boy's brother picked up a slate- to throw at
the teaoher, who kicked it out of his bauds.
After the school was dismissed and while tho
teaeher was on his wuy home the brother
threw a atone at the teacher, but It missed
the mark. Mr. Mcllale ran after the boy
and caught bim. The teacher says thu puu-

Freight Depot.
IIEltK wm a littlo in

phia and Beading Ball
road Compauy'g frolght
depot -yesterday morn
ing that did nut ureate
much oxcitement at
the time, but it has
since duveloped Into a
law suit and is earning muoh comment.
Tho facts of tho matter as gleaned by a re
porter seems to be that a 'freight car of
ixitaloes arrived at the depot for Amandus
Woomcr aud eomo, (tiettiou arose between
Mr. Woomor nnd Mr. Neiman, the chief clerk
at the depot, as to freight charges. Previous
to this there had been a mistake as to tho
weight of the car and freight and the discus
sion yestotday became quite warm. Finally
Mr. Woomer asked Mr. Neiman to bring out
the hill and ho would pay it. Mr. Neiman
asked Mr. Woomor to go into the office as
that was the place to pay bills, Tho affair
wound lip wit'. Mr. Woomer and his driver
being shut up In tho freight n- with the
potatoes aud they were kept tln-ie for somo
time. Tho depot people then sent for the C.
& I. police. Mr. Woomer nnd his olerk wero
released from the cur and the former settled
tho freight bittr
Jt was thought by many that lho matter
would bo dropped hero, but such Is not tho
ease. To-day Mr. Woomer nnd his clerk
swore out warrants against Mr. Neiman,
Lotiis and Hartv Hnfner and F. H. Hopkins,
Jr., charging them with assault and battery
and fatso imprisonment. Constable Tosh
served tho warrants to-day and the ease will
bo heard before 'Squire Dengler this evening,
unless it is settled iu tho meantime.
POLITICAL POINTS.
A Few Paragraph Hearing Upon the Ap

. These who would like to play an independ
ent jidrt in the coming municipal olcction,
but who, bound by party obligations, would
hesitate in regard to ousting a vote fojn can
didate of a different political faith, should
remember that politics have no rightful
place In tho munlclp-il election. Tho citlxeu
who alusents himself from the polls, or refuses
to sever party ties by voting against un
worthy candidates, will be lacking in duty
to himself aud tho confmunity.
The Auditors' next duty will be to got out
the tickets and issue the election proclama
tion. It ill feared that in many township the
clecflyns will bo ono-sided or goby default on
account of ignorance of tho new law.
There will bo two school directors voted

'Snuiro Shoemaker will succeed himself in
the Second ward, he having no opposition.
The light for Justice of tbo Peace in the
Third ward, it is said, will be quite lively.
Unusual caro has been taken in many
localities to nominate the very beat people to
fill the ollice.
Col. J. G. Friolt is going to try again to be
