EMARKS BY JUDGE BEGHTEL I In Disposing of the cases He Imposes Ten Dollars Fine, Orders Restoration of Money Drawn and Removal of the School Directors From Olllce. Pottsvllle, Jan. 17. John F. Whalen, Kn., this morning stated to court that, in tho ab sence ot tho District Attorney, ho would movo for tho sentence of the West Mahanoy township School Directors recently con victed of having drawn mouey from tho school district In payment for attendance upon tho county institute and school direc tors convention. Judge Bechtel then called tho defendants, Messrs. P. J. Fergusou, M. F. McLaln, John Donlan, P. M. No'oue and T. K. FUnigan, before him, and aftor giving them an imprcsslvo lecture sentouced each to pay hisshaio of the costs; $10 fine; to restoro tho money taken from tho township aud to be removed from olllce. Among other things the Judge said that they had been acquitted of all but one count, tho costs wero very high, $1,158.71. and a large petition asking clemency had been pre sented. Tho fact that they had been con- Ictcd of taking hut a small amount of money oes not lessen tho gravity of tho ollenso. A majority of the signers to the petition are Irom other districts. Under the circumstan ces of the case ho could notsuspend sentence. ml a provision of tho constitution mado it mandatory upon tho court to remove from olllce anyono convicted of misdemeanor. Were it not tor tho fact that the defendants ere acquitted of a great many counts, tho large petition presented and tho heavy hill of cost which are guaranteed to bo paid so that tho county will not he obliged to stand for the same, the court would he disposed to add Imprisonment to the sentence, but under tho circumstances a nominal lino, tho pay ment of costs and removal from olllce, would, in the court's opinion, servo the public's in terests best. Tho Judge then said that there. Is 011 record a decision from the full count in which tho defendants wero notified that no school district, or school board, has tho right to em ploy a member of tho board and to pay him for services. This was in tho case against McKeruan. His purposo in speaking of this was because of their ncqultuil ou the count charging them with paying money to a truant otlicer, who was a member of tho board, and tho statement in tho cliargo of tho count that the money might bo illegally paid out and yet not Be a criminal act. All act of this kiud should not ho done In any suapo or form. It should be bomu In miud that tho School Board represents tho School District aud cannot employ itself or settle with itself. Tho school fund is perhaps tho most sacred of all funds, aud being for the education of young aud young minds of all classes is akin to charity. Kverybody should therefore, not only scorn to take from it, but the disposition should be to add to it. The amount of tho costs, fine und restora tion of property makes the share to bo paid by each director $247. I.IUKNSK EXCEPTION'S.

After Judge Koch delivered several opinions Judge Bechtel called oil the trial list and excused somo jurors for legal reasons. A dlvorco was g. anted in tho caso of Sadio i. Thomas J. Evans. In the case of John F. Reynolds vs., the U. S. Industrial Insurance Company, in which a demurrer was filed by tho defendant Judge Koch was about to announce a decis- slon when Attorney Iloughawout stated that he had not waived his right to argue the point. Attorney Suhalck for th defendant then explained that ho had handed up the papers under tho other impression. Judge Koch instructed Mr. Iloughawout to file his answer by Wednesday, and ho would have his opinion ready by noxt Monday. The rule fur judgment for want of a sum clent allldavit in the case of tho lluminels town National Bank vs. Elizabeth Andrews aud M. 1". Walker was denied.

The application of the Firemens' Belie Association of Pinegrovo was refused. Judge Koch said, in a long opinion, that tho powers of the court are limited to the statutes. I no purpose of this society is set forth in thu petition to be beneficial and protective;' aud, the statutes restrict such societies to those in which the fundsare collected therein whereas, this Association proposes to ralso funds from "legacies bequests and otherwise.' Under their application they might go into tho manufacturing ut llremeiis' regalias, etc. or any other sort of bus'ness.
