HE IS STILL SUPERINTENDENT
He Will Hot Visit the Schools, or Draw
Salary Fending the Proceedings on
Appeal-The Legal Status of
the Matter Prof. Cooper
Acting.
A special meeting of the School Board was
held last night and in addition to tie presence
of all the members of the Board there were
six newspaper reporters in attendance, repre
senting all tho town publications! as well as
newspapers of Mahanoy City and, I'ottaville.
This unusual array of paragraph! was due
to the oxpectatlon of interesting And lively
proceedings bearing upon the cab of Super
intendent Bogart, but in this tetpeot the
meeting was to a great extent disappointing.
Under the order of business of "communi
cations" Secretary Hanna held tip three or
four letters which he said contained applica
tions for tho position of Superintendent
of the schools, should there be a vacancy.
President Prlee told the secretary to lay
them asido, as it was unnecessary to read
them at this time.
Among tho communications read was tho
following from Superintendent Bogart :
"Shbnandojih, Jan. 11, 1807.
"Board of School Directors,
"Gentmuirn : Bolng convinced, botli by
what I heard direct, and by the onlnions of
others In a position to judge impartially, that
my trial at Pittsburg was nnjnst and unfair
also illegal in several respects, I have asked
for a new trial ; also because of a concurrent
opinion of many disinterested members of
the legal profession and citizens of Pittsburg,
strangers to me, agreeing on tho unfairness of
the trial, l feel justified in asking a continued
suspension of jndgmont on the part of all
fair-minded people until, at least, the close of
a new trial.
"I will further stato that it- is proper to
discontinue my salary during the interval
between Thursday, January 7th, 1807, from
the time of tho verdict, and the date of
granting the new trial.
"Eespectfully submitted,
"C. D. Booabt."
When tho proper order of business arrived
President Price exclaimed, "Well, gentle
men, what do you propose doing with tho
communication of Mr. Bogart?"
A silence followed for almost four minutes.
Somo of tho directors whlsporcd to each
other, others seemed to fall into profound
thought and others looked askanco towards
their colleagues, hut none ventured a step
during that timo. Meanwhile President
Price awaited pationtly with gavel lu hand.
Finally Director Ogden aroso slowly from his
seat, which was opposito tho president's
tabic, advanced deliberately to tho reporters'
table and, resMng his hands upon tbe tablo
and loaninf jllghtly over it, and facing tho
president as directly as his position would
allow, ho broke thospoll of silencoby quietly
and with somo deliberation, saying: "Imovo,
inasmuchthat Jlr. Bogart is toj-emain with
out pay, that further action in tho matter is
postponed until the result of the motion for
a new trial is hoard, Mr. Cooper remaining in
chargo of the school in tho meantime.
Director Treziso seconded tho motion.
Director Hanna arose and said that, in
view of all tho facts connected with tho
matter, and thore could bo no good end
gained by further delay, ho would offer an
amondent that the Board immediately de
mand Superintendent Bogart's resignation.
Director Higgins seconded tho amendment.
Director Leo asked, "What position will it
put tho Board In if it does demand tho resig
nation T I want to understand this matter,"
he added.
Director Hanna again aroso and said, "I
fully determined to remain silent upon this
matter. Thore are certain legal steps that
must be taken and it is presumed that the
gentlemen who have sustained Mr. Bogart
thus far are the proper parties to take them.
Under the bcliof that they would do that for
the best interests of the schools, and all con
cerned, tho minority had made up their
minds to leave it lu their hands. It will bo
very uncomfortable for the miuority to take
the steps that tho majority should take. So
far as tho assertions of Prof. Bogart nro con
cerned I don't propose to go into a discussion
of tho matter. All tho slander has boeu
transferred from tho shoulder of tho mem.
bors of tho Board to the Judge and jury at
Pittsburg." Mr. Hanna's remarks li-
camo vory lengthy and ho driftod into the
assertion that if any or tho directors
bad any manhood they would not attempt to
uphold Prof. Bogart any further, when Presl
dent Price rapped with the gavel aud called
the secretary to order. Mr. Hanna said he
was only expressing his fears and President
Price told him to avoid personalities and con
fine himself to a discussion of matters befoie
the Board. Mr. Hanna took his seat.
President Price then had his inning. He
said : " have made Inquiry into this matter
and I expected to have a communication
from the State Department in Writing to
show tho Board, but I havo not received It
yet. But I havo been to the State Department,
personally, and have seen the four men at
the head of tho department, and this Board
has no legal right to demand the resignation
of that man. We can demand it, but he can
suit himself as to whether he will comply
With it, or not. The State Department has
nothing to do with tho case while it is in the
court, aud until tbe new trial has been re
fused, or granted, we can do nothing with it,
unless Mr. Bogart decides, of hi own free
will, to tender his resignation. Therefore, it
would not be any more than right for this
Board to be cautious. Tbe State Department
is in the game boat as we are. If a new trial
is granted it place Mr. Bogart in the same
position he was in. before the trial. If re
fused, then, a I understand, Mr. Bogart will
push the case still further. Dr. Sounder, the
State Superintendent, and Mr. Stewart say
they can do nothing for the present. I thluk
the suggestion of Mr. Ogden is as good as
anything we can do. When the con it are
done with htm the State Department can
annul hi commission.
A vote on the amendment was called. Mr.
Hanna wanted an aye and nay vote, but
rresluent Price said a standing vote would
answer tho same purpose, aud It was taken.
The amendment was defeated by a vote of
U to 0. Mr. Ogden's motion was carried by a
vote of Oto 0.
Among the other communications was one
from Acting Superintendent Cooper, in which
he stated that there were 380 pupils absent
from the schools on account of the vaccina
tion law. AU but about ninety of them are
children of the first and second primary
grades. A few of them have been vaccinated.
but have lost their certificate and their
parents are too poor to pay for new one. As
an example, Mr. Cooper oiled the case of a
woman on Line street having four children
Many parent object to vaccination in the
winter time.
Mr. Edwards moved that the case of the
four children be loft in tho hand of the
committee on compulsory education and
before th close of tho meeting It was an
nounced that the committee had decided to
allow the children to return to school to-day.
On motion of Mr. Tresise the rule applying
to the vaccination of night school pupils was
extended one month, and on motion of Mr.
Hanna tbe day school case were left in the
hands of the compulsory education com
mittee and acting Superintendent Cooper.
Upon a request of tbe Peck-Williamson
company for payment of the balance claimed
on it plant, tbe Board decided to postpone
action until It becomes satisfied with the
plant.
A proposition to discontinue one of the
evening schools and put an assistant in the
evening High School was left In the hands of
Acting Superintendent Cooper with power to
act.
The Secretary was Instructed to correspond
with Architect Davis, relative to the suit by
the Shenandoah Lumber and Feed Company
against tb School Board for f 139 bs extra
work on the new building.

Senatorial Contests Elsewhere.
A LB AMY, Jan. 15. Without the usual
formula of a nominating speorh, with no
word of eulogy, but with a strength of
votes that was overwhelming, Thomas O.
I'latt was named a the Ilepublloau can
didate for United State senator by a vote
of 147 to 7 for Joseph II. Choate. Two were
absent. Seldom, If ever, has the assembly
ohamlier the meeting place"" of the joint
Republican oauous on tho United States
senatorshlp presented etioh a lively scene
as it did last night Long before the hour
for assembling arrived, the galleries were
filled with visitors. Before the ballot was
taken a resolution, was adopted to make
the choice of the caucus binding on all
Republican members. The nomination
was made unaulmous amid applause. The
caucus selected Chester S. I.ord, of New
York, to bo regent of the state university.
Fow men havo been more in the publlo
oye during the last fifteen years than
Thomas Collyer Piatt. His emergence
into national prominonco in 1881 was
TIIOMAS a TLATT.
under conditions so unusual that his
earlier public career and his prominonco
nsa banker aud morchant have boen gen
erally forgotten. Unable, on account of
bad heulth, to pursue his collogo courso
boyoud tho sophomore year nt Yalo, Mr.
Piatt took up a business onreor, which lod
tho way to the. presidency of a national
bank at Tioga, N. Y., and to a successful
venture in the lumber trndo in Michigan.
In 18T2, when 30 yoars of ago, ho was
clocted a representative in congrosq, and
Ugaln in 1874. HeWft9 OlCcted to tho United
States senate to succeed Francis Kernan,
his torm beginning Murch 4, 1881. In ilay
of the same yoar, in consequence of a quar
rel with Presldont Garflold over tho dis
tribution of pntronago in Now York stato,
Sonntors Conkling and Piatt raslgnod
from the senato, expecting to bo ro-oleotod,
Instead of which the places thoy had va
cated were given to Messrs. Lnpham and
Miller.
Mr. Piatt held the office of commissioner
of quarantine of New York city from 1880
to 1888, when ho was removed by proceed
ings instituted on account of his alleged
nou-rosldence. He has been a delegate to
all of .the Republican national conven
tions, beginning with that of 1870 aud In
cluding that of last year. Ho has been the
rooognized dlreotov of tho Republican
party organization in New York state for
tho last twelve or fourteen years, and
though Ills title to supremacy has fre
quently been nttaoked, ho has as often
demonstrated his ability to hold It against
all oomors. Mr. Piatt Is tho president of

Tho punishment for violation Is a fine of

Mitchell's Ile-elcctlon Probable.
SALKM, Ore., Jan. 16. The Republicans,

John II. Mitchell to succeed himself in

Mitchell a bare majority of the legislature.
