Two CARS MIDDLINGS. !an exodus OF TEACHERS. They Flock to Pottsville the Institute. to Attend A DELAY IN DEPARTURE ! Tlic Pedagogues Will Spend the Week In Listening to Lectures by a Num ber of Brilliant Instructors. School teachers by the score were at tho Lehigh Valley depot early this morning attired In attractive winter garment, cheeks ruddy with the glow of health and faces beaming with smiles la anticipation of the good time which awaited them at the county institute that opened at Potts ville this morning. All the eyes of the incoming and outgo ing passengers fell upon the throng of pretty teachers Impatiently waiting for the I'ottsvilie train and they were filled with admiration. The teachers showed clearly that they felt the shafts of atten tion. In the throng were tho pedagogues of the town, township and farming ills tricts, and a blind man could pick out a teacher from tho respective dls- tricts. The train was about an hour lato. The Shenandoah teacher vented her Im patience with this expression, "What can the matter be. Where is P. J. ?" The township teacher said, "This is tough nearly broke my neck when I left the patch this morning to make this train." The modest farmer's daughter who teaches the young idea to shoot gazed in tently at her hayseed admirer and mut tered, "Zach, If I'd known that train would have boen so long I could have done the milking this morning." The travelling equipments were also in great contrast. The Shenandoah girl car ried u telescope satchel, the patch girl car ried the regulation style, and the hay maker carried her change for the week in paper. One young girl had forgotten to turn the paper so ns to hide the advertise ment of the storekeeper and as she stood on the platform tho spectators read "He geants' Iiest. Give it a Trial," on her "grip." Owing to an accident at No. S by which a car was thrown oil the rails the train bound for Pottsville did not arrivo here until ten o'clock. Jt ws made up of live curs nnd tho teachers filled almost every seat. Tho delay prevented the teacher; from reaching the Institute until nearly 11 o'clock this morning The session opened at nine. This is the thirty-second animal session of the teachers' Institute of Schuylkill county, and it will bring into re union over six hundred teachers. They will he in daily attendance until nnd including next Friday. It will undoubtedly be season of much social and Intellectual profit to the teachers, as County Superin tendent G. W. Weiss has succeeded in bringing together a tnot excellent faculty of instructor and the talent engaged for the course of entertainments includes some of ihemost brilliant minds of the Eastern, Mid lie and Western states Among the Instructors are Dr. A. K. Winshlp, Boston, Mass. ; Dr. John 11. DeMotte, Cambridge, Mass.; Miss Sarah L. Arnold, Minneapolis, Minn.; Dr. S. C. Schmucker, Indinna; Dr. E. O. Lyte, Millersvllle; Dr. W. W. Deatrlck, Kuti! town; Dr. Georgo M, Phillips, Wes Chester; and Dr. George W. Hull, Millers ville. All the day sessions are open to the public, free of charge.

One of the adjuncts of the institute will be the School Direotois county conveu tion, which will be held ou Wednesday. Among the questions to be discussed will be "Should the state furnish free text books for all public schools ?"and "Should tho state superintendent of public instruc tion have supervision of tho methods of teaching In public schools la order to In sure greater uniformity i" 0.

The Coakley Family Involved In the Litigation An Instrument of Trans fer Claimed to be Invalid. A law BUlt which Is exciting consider able Interest among the residents of tho First ward is that of ex-Councilman Dan Coakley nnd wife against Carby Egan The latter isConkley's uncle. The parties interested in the suit are among the old est and best known residents of tho town It teems that n strip of land extending on the north side of Lloyd street, from Peach alley to tho Lehigh Valley railroad, Is owned by Egan nnd the houses on It were owned by his sister, Mrs. Daniel Coakley, Sr., deceased, who was the ex Councilman's mother. By some understanding with his broth ers, Timothy and James, Daniel Coakley nnd his wife deeded their interest in the houses on the property to the brothers nnd they deeded tlie houses to their uncle, Carby Egan. These transfers were rundo In January, 1891. A few weeks ago Daniel Coakley con cluded that he had not been treated right and he brought suit before Justice SVIH- lams against Egau to recover his share of nil rents from the properly accruing since January last. John F. Whalen, E-q., of Pottsville, claimed that the transfer of the property made last January wns not a valid one, as tho deed was not acknowl edged by Daniel Conkley and his wife. When this claim was set up M. M. Burke, Esq., appearing for Mr. Egan, asked that the suit bo dismissed because the Justice had no jurisdiction. This re quest was based on tho fact that the title to tho real estate was brought into ques tion by the plaintiff nnd under the Act of 1810 Justices of the Peuce have no juris diction over cases In which the title to real estate Is questioned. The suit must be brought in the Common Pleas Court. Justice Williams ami onnced Saturday evening that ho would consider Jhu. ques. tlou nnd give his decision next Saturday eveniug. THE GAS WAR.

Eleven years ugo to day the fire demon swept over this town and laid one third of its butt business houses and residences In ashes. While the effect of the coullngra tlou hud a terilble effect upon miuy of of the people individually, it nnd a whole some effect upon them collectively, in time it swept out of existence muuy buildings that were rookeries and their places have been filled with structures more worthy ot space lu the largest towu ot Schuylkill county. The citizens of the town should be, and no doubt are, very thankful that they have not suffered from another vlsi tatlon us thnt of November 12, 1688. For this they are indebted to more substantial buildings nnd an enlarged and improved fire department. By the way, wouldn't It be nn appropriate celebration of the anniversary If the insurauce companies should chop a little off the rates. Change of Schedule.
