rV regular monthly meeting of the
School Board was held in the directors'
room on South West street last evening
with Directors Conry, Hanna, Trezise,
Lynch, Burke, Manley, Ogden, Devitt,
Baugh, Morgan, Stanton, Lee, Hooks and
Muldoon in attendance. A lively debate
was looked for over a recommendation
by Superintendent Whitaker that
another second grade grammar school
be mit In tho new South West street build
ing, so as to relieve the crowded condition
of some of the schools and at tho same
time have the three second grade gram
mar schools in the same building. It wrs
also claimed that the change would be
an economical one for the Board. To ac
complish this end Superintendent Whita
ker proposed to have Miss Morrison's class
transferred, to tne if. ai. church minding
and transfer miss uurns' class to the room
to be vacated by Miss Morrison. Thel
recommendation was voted down by a vote
of 8 to C. Several members were opposed
to It because they did not deem it wise to
have the three classes in one building,
superintendent ultaker stated In his
monthly reDort that all the puulls entered
tnescnoois promptly on tne opening oi
the term and although the second week
of the term is only at hand the enrolment
is ',4uu, a consmeraoie increase over tne
enrolment of former years.
in retrard to the vaccination rule. Mr.
Whitaker stated that he had received
letters from several physicians stating
that the weather was too warm to warrant
vaccinations and sUBirestlntr that the en
f orcement of the ruld be postponed until
later in the season. Alter consultation
with Dr. Spalding. President of the Board
oi Health, the suuerintenuent decided to
allow all children to enter the schools
until such tlmo as the School Board
might designate for the presentation of
certificates of vaccination. The Board
decided that all pupils who do not present
certificates of vaccination on or before
October 15th, next, must be excluded
from the schools.
The SiiDerintendent also recommended
that monthly examinations In the schools
be auollsned and mat tney ue ueid every
two months. The recommendation was
adopted.

to i'hlladelphla yesterday was ;ur. Jon
Brennan, a former Schuylkill countlan,
brother of William S. Brenuan. of town,
and a member of the Central Park police
force in New York City. The passenger
was lounging comiortably in his seat and
enjoying a Havana when Mr. Atkin Selt
zer, of Ashland, entered the car. With
an exclamation of iov Mr. Selt
zer rushed to tho seat occupied by
the reclining passenger, with hand ex
tended for a friendly shake. Air. Brennan
was taken by surprise and failed to recog
nize the other passenger, who said, "1
gaess you don't recognize me. Its thirty
one years since we met before. I am
Atkin Seitzer. ' In an instant a most
vigorous haud shaking was In operation.
Messrs. Seltzer and Brennan were mem
bers of old Co. G, Pa. "Vol., and served
throughout the war together. As Mr.
Seltzer said, they had not seen each other
for thirty-one years, but the Ashland
man s memory was bo keeu that he recotr
nlzed his old comrade the moment tie
glanced at him lu the car.

Finding of Bodies a Hoax.
All the collieries of the Philadelphia &
Holding Coal & Iron Company through
out the region suspended operations last
night for the balance of tho week. They
will be started up again on Monday morn
ing, next.
This shut down Is one of the most com
plete the company has enforcod in several
years. There is not a wheel at any of its
collieries in motion and even tho washer
les are Idle. It has been the custom of
the company when suspending Its coller
les on account of a dull market to keep
repairmen, blacksmiths and others
in employment making repairs that
cannot be attended to during the regular
operations; but under the order of the
present suspension an classes oi work
men other than pumpsmen, engineers nnd
fireman aro thrown idle, except in cases
where it is absolutely essential that some
blacksmithlng or other repairs shall be
done.
It is said that none of the collieries of
tho P. & It. company aro likely to work
more than four days a week during the
present month and the most ot them will
be idle three davs a week. This schedle.
of course, is subject to any change which
may oe made necessary uy reason ot a
continued drought. Thus far only one
colliery In this district Indian ludge
has actually suspended on account
of a shortage of water, but In the Sha
mokin district several collieries have
suffered. Should the drought continue
some of the other collieries may be called
upon to keep the shipments which the
suffering collieries may lose.
