THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS'. A Regular Meeting of the Board Held Last Night. NIGHT SCHOOL OPENING ! The Term Fixed and Seven Teachers Elected For the Schools -High School Boys Won't Raise Salaries. A regular meeting of the School Boatd was held In the public library quarters last evening with Messrs. Conry, Ilanmi, Stanton, Lynch, Baugh, Davenport, Trezlse, Hooks, Burke, Manley, Morgan, Muldoon, Devltt and Lee in attendance. The most Important buslnets of the evening wasjthe establishment of night schools and the election of and fixing of salaries for teachers. Requests from Miss Jennie Gunter and Frank B. Williams that their salaries be Increased wero not acted upon, anil a re quest for an increase of salary by James Mcllugh, Janitor of the Union street school building, met the same fate. The board was not disposed to Interfere with the schedule of salaries. The statistical report of Superintendent W hltaker for the month of October was as follows: Term enrolment boys, 1210; girls, 1427; total, 2C37. Monthly enrol ment boys, 1186; girls, 1393; total, 2331. Dally average attendance boys, 073; girls, 1182; total, 2155. Percentage of attend anceboys, 90 ; girls, 89 ; average, 00. Pu pils present every session 521. Visits by citizens 237. Visits by Directors 80. The superintendent added that the change from monthly to bi-monthly ex aminations and the rating of examina tion papers by the modified percentage system were giving satisfaction. Tho committee on evening schools recommended that seven schools be opened one In the West street building, two in Lloydatreet, one each tn the Coal, White and Union street buildings, and one at TurkeyRnn; one of the schools to be a boys' evening high school. The com mlttee also recommended that seven teachers be appointed, that the term consist of four months of twenty even' ings each, commencing November latlu and ending March 2Ut. The report was adopted. The salaries of the teachers for these schools wero fixed at $35 per month each for the high school and Turkey Itun school and $25 per month for each of tho other schools, the janitors to receive $7 per month for oneschool nud $10 for two. Lewis Hopkins, Jr., was made janitor at the High school building for the bal ance of the flscalfrcar. It was decided that $11,000 worth of in surance on school buildings be secured from T. T. Williams, David Faust and J. J.Cardln. It was decided that the children of the Hood and Gilbert families, residing on Locust mountain, near the cemeteries, be admitted to the schools of the borough free of charge. An election of teachers for the evening schools was then taken up and after three ballots Mlase Sadie Baugh, Annie E.'McNells, Maggie E. Palmer, Hannah Scanlan, Lydla E. Eisenhower, Katie Brogan and Mary Whalen were elected. The other applicants were Misses Annie B. Bierman, Katie A. Eisenhart, Ida Lewis and M. Jessie Glover. Miss EUenhower will have charge of the High school and Miss Brogan takes charge of the Turkey Hun building. The evening school teachers will not be required to attend the county Institute, which is to be held at PottsvlUo next week. The board has granted the teachers the privilege of taking the 0:10 a. m. train for Pottsville during Institute week, so that their late arrival at the morning sessions will be accounted for. Many of the teachers will be obliged to go down every morning and return at night as they can not secure accommodations at Pottsville. Superintendent Whttaker will go to Pottsville on Saturday and has volun teered to purchase tlckota for the institute series of entertainments for any citizen who may wish to attend them. The superintendent's intention Is, of course, to act as agent only. He Is not setting them up for the town.

ELECTION ECHOES. Political Pen Pushers Present Pithy, Pertinent Points. 1 snowing. It Is stl But fewDemocratlo footprints are seen ln'thesnvv, Hastings' majority seems to be bound to roach thd 380,000 murk. Slngerlf only carried one ward In Phila delphia, ind that by less than 60 majority. Many potties of champagne were drank last nlgbjt in settlement of campaign bets. "Farmer" Kulp'sdefett of Buckalewiu Northun berland is considered one of the wonderi' if the campaign. Postmi ster Mellel's resources for con solation are never exhausted. He says the Den acrats succeeded in getting the Increase, it debt through, anyway. A great many Democrats are professing delight dver the election of Senator Coyle. They sajr his election Is a rebuff to the Butler township Democrats for the defeat of Frantr. Messri. William T. Trezise, T. It. Edwards and P. W. fiiersteln deserve great credit for their work In connection with the arrangements for the flual Re publican parade here. For a man who has dropped $2,000 in fighting a local cause ex-candidate for Sheriff Thomas J. Hlgglns Is n remark ably Belt-possessed man. He takes his de feat very philosophically. Many local Democrats are clinging to the hope that before the olllclal count Is completed the farming districts will show King's election. King's election to the Senate Is postponed for at least four years. McElheauy, the caterer, Is building up a big trade by his enterprise. The inng niflcence with which he had his building illuminated and decorated in honor of the Republican demonstration last Monday evening Is still the talk of the town. The Hastings Campaign Club will meet at 7:30 o'clock to morrow (Friday) night to wind up Its affairs and pay off all In debtedness. There are sufficient funds to pay dollar for dollar. The meeting will be held In the rooms of the Shenandoah Republican League, In Refowlch's build' lng. The offices of Cooper & Co., the East Centre Btreet stock brokers, were exceed' lngly comfortable quarters for the Re publicans who sat up to receive the election returns on Monday night, and tho firm has won the hearty thauks of those who shared the hospitality of its hand somely furnished quarters. The thnuksof that part of the com munity that was anxious to hear the election returns on Tuesday night aro due to Mr. Frank W. McDermott, the manager of the local Philadelphia and Reading telegraph office. He was prompt in post ing the reports and they were given with exceptional accuracy. As a manipulator of the key Frank Is equal to any emer gency. The tall, slim, fine-looking gentlemm who paraded up and down Mnln street from 7 to 11 o'clock last night was none other than Constable Thomas Tosh. The hat under which he strutted was won from Lawyer Burke on a bet that Higgins would not get 400 majority In thl3 town. The winner of the bet was to walk about town for four hours to give the people a chance to see the hat. Begley & Schoeuer's oyster bay, 11 West Centre street. Families supplied with fresh clams and oysters at short notice. thurs&sat The Jury's Verdict. Deputy Coroner Manley held nn inquest on the body of Eugene Lescinsky, the man who was found dead near the Shen andoah City colliery on Monday morning. The witnesses examined were Dr. S. C. Spalding, James McNeils, George Beck and John H. Johnson. It was shown that on the Saturday preceding the day on which the body was found the deceased had suffered from hemniorrhnge and the evidence justified the conclusion that when Lescinsky tripped nnd fell, his head striking a rock with much violence, con cussion of the brain was caused ond another hemniorrhage was brought on, the man dying before he was discovered.

Ellis, undoubtedly the greatest of stage favorites with ladles and chil dren everywhere, comes to Ferguson's theatre on Tuesday evening, November 13th, when he will be seen In his old favorite comedy drama, "Cusper the Yodler."

Car No. 1, of the Lakeside Railway, left the track near tho corner of Centre and White streets last night and was delayed three-quarter of an hour.

If the Recreant Spouse Will Only Stay Away Uer Mind Will be Easy A Boarder a Loser, Too. Frank Untinawlcz, a Pole, who has a family residing on North Bowers street, Is reported missing. He was last seen by his wife on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Un tinawlcz is not distracted over the dis appearance of her spouse, but worries a good deal In fear that he may return ; and It is not likely that the husband has been kidnapped, or has met with foul play. It is really a case of skip with evidently mutual satisfaction to both husband and wife. Untinawlcz left his house on Tuesday morning at the usual hour to go to the mines. Within nn hour later he returned and told his wife that on account of water In tho mine tlieie was no work. He went upstairs and a few minutes later left the house saying he was going to look for an empty houso. The couple had been talking of moving. The husband has not been sen or heard of since. Tuesday evening a boarder in the house returned from work and upon hunting for his best suit of clothes found It missing. A further search revealed the absence of about $20 In cash. The boarder called the mistress of the house to account. She mnde a search tn her money box nud found It empty. Mrs. Untinawlcz and the boarder were puzzled at first, but they have since con cluded that the missing husband was re sponsible for the thefts and that he re sorted to them to give him a start oil his own hook.
