Rellly, the Pottsville ar chitect, was present and presented rough plans for the rchool building to be erected at the northwest corner of Jardin and Cherry streets. They were favorable In the opinion of the board and Mr. Rellly was authorized to prepare the plans and specifications for the. structure.

Whalen, Sadie Baugh, Katie Brogan, Annie E. McNenlls, M. Jessie Glover, Hannah Scanlan, Ida Lewis, Maggie E. Palmer and Lydla Eisenhower, The papers were referred to the committee on evening schools with the understand ing that there shall be a report at the next regular meeting, unless the clrcnui stances warrant the committee in calling a special meeting of the board. Superintendent Whltnker made his report for the month of September as follows: Term enrolment: boys, 18S1; girls, 1395; total, 2570. Monthly enrol ment: boys, 1135: girls, 13S8; total, 2523.

The Superintendent also gavo a detailed statement of the attendance In the several gmdes of the schools and added that there is an increase iu the attendance at the higher grade of schools, which Is due to the operation of the free text book law and the appreciation of the benefits of the public schools by parents. The committee on teachers and salaries reported having moved Miss Bellis' class from the White street building to the Primitive Methodist church, and the change was endorsed. Director Lynch (without mentioning names) presented the application of a par ent to have a child placed in the White street building instead of following the change to the Primitive Methodist church, but the board decided not to consider in dividual cases, as it might lead to endless complication, and ruled that the matter was entirely In the hands of the commit' tee on teachers and salaries and the su pcrintendent. The report of the committee on text books and supplies showed that there had been an additional expenditure of $1,413.28 during the month of September. Mr. Ogden, of the finance committee, stated that Receiver of Taxos, Scanlan, paid Into the School Board treasury an aggregate of $7,000 for September. A communication from Henry Geary, presented by Director Burke, was read and referred to committee. Mr. Geary claims that his rate of taxes Is greatly In excess to those he has been paying. John R. Coyle, Esq, the solicitor for the board, stated that the tenants of the buildings at the corner of Jardin and Cherry streets, the property selected for the new school building, were unoble to vacate on account of being unable to secure suitable premises to move to, al though Mr. Snyder, one of the tenants, was willing to move out within a week providing tho board would pay him $300 and Mrs. Kerns would move out in con slderatlon of $100. The board decided to offer Mr. Snyder $75 and Mrs. Kerns $40, and at the same time decided that If the offers are not accepted the tenants shall be allowed to remain In the buildings until next April, when the leases expire, and the erection of the proposed building will be post poned until tho vacancies occur.

Witnesses Connect Ketolskl WlthSelbcrt's Crimes He Stands Committed. Justice Williams last night continued the hearing In the case of Enoch Selbert and Stlncy Ketolskl nnd listened to the evidence of several witnesses, who testi fied that the two men were boon conipan ions and that on the same night they burglarized Samuel Block's place, on South Main street.they broke Into a barber shop on the same street and stole shears, clippers, razors and other tonsorial Im plements. Ketolskl stoutly contradicted all the evidence adduced against him, but Sel bert, evidently rejoiced In having a com panion in misery, made a clean breast of everything and stated that the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution was correct. Both men were committed with bail and were taken down to Pottsville this morning. The authorities believe that In the arrest of the pair they have bagged tho responsible parties for the many mys terious burglaries which have been com mitted In the town during the past sev eral months. He Apologized. Festy Toole, of Lost Creek, boarded one of the cars of the Schuylkill Traction Com pany and tried to bluff the conductor, Michael Gallagher, out of a fare. When It wos asked for Toole charged the con ductor with "knocking down" fares. Gal lagher took the charge as a joke and good noturedly remarked It made no difference how much was knocked down, all pass engers were expected to pay their fares. Toole repeated tho charge and still per sisted In refusing pay. Then Gallagher became serious and in a short time the Lost Creek bluffer was In Justice Green's office, nt Wm. Penn. When Festy saw a half dozen charges Btarlng him in the face he weakened and begged for mercy. Upon promising to be n model possenger while on the electric railway cars in the future, apologizing to the con ductor nnd paying tho costs, he was dis charged. Miss Lillian Kennedy.
