The papers were referred to the committee
on evening schools with the understand
ing that there shall be a report at the

stances warrant the committee in calling

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,

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.

Thetflnnl touches for the comnletlon of

on last night and everything made per
fect. Early this morning a motorman and
a conijuctor took oar N'. 4 overthe trestle
and bridge and reported the trial very
satisfactory.
At half past one o'olock this afternoon
Superintendent Betts, accompanied by

rip was very satisfactory. Tho cor
ascended the heavy grade on Bowers street
steadily, without the slightest Jar to any
of thomcuhanlsm, or auj thing elso to In
dicate, there will be any difficulty on the
grade. The return trip and descent of the
grade was made with equal success.
The trip from Bowers street to Main
was made in three minutes and twenty
seconds. Superintendent Belts said this
time will bo much reduced after cars are
run over the trestle for a while.
Upon the arrival of tho car nt Main
street (he extension was declared open for
general traffic and all cars which arrived
In town subsequently made tho trip
through to Main street.
BOTH MEN HELD.
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.

tho street parade and they found this very
discouraging work. In tho first place
many of tho societies that intended to

their minds when tho postponements were
made; and, secondly, the weather was so
threatening that some of tho organiza
tions that Intended to parade to day
changed their minds at the last moment.
However, a line of parade was formed,
It was short, but as pretty a ono as has
been seen hero for some time. The
line was headed by Chief Marshal
