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.

Postmi ster Mellel's resources for con

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

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

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.

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.

DUPED BY
HER HUSBAND
Mrs. Untinawlcz is First Robbed and
Then Deserted.
GONE BUT NOT MOURNED !
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.
McElhenny's Thursday Night Invitation
