SGflOOhTAX
IS LEVIED
The Directors ere Cautious on the
Subject
OPINION BY SOLICITOR BURKE !
The Board's Power to Make Tax Levies
Explalned-Fonrteen Mills Fixed
as tae Rate, or Welch Eleven
Are For School Purposes,
Tho subject of tax levy was tho principal
topic of discussion at au adjourned meeting
of tho School Board last night, which was
attended by Directors Coughlin, llauua,
Ilaugb, Dove, Malick, Whltaker, Sullivan,
Britt and Connors.
Solicitor Burke proscntcd the following
opinion in writing as to tho levy :
"IJcplylng to your Inquiry of last evening
as to your powers and duties in the levy of
taxes, have to say that you can levy hut 13
mills for taxes for school purposes; you can
lovy as many mills for buildiug purposes as
for school purposes. These two taxes and a
library tax are the only taxes that you cau
legally levy.
'You cannot mako a special levy to meet
your funded indebtedness; this indebtedness
must be met out of tho taxes levied and col
lected for school purposos, unless tho indebt
edness bo such as was incurred iu tho pur
chase of school grounds, erection of school
buildings and improvement of the same; if
this Indebtedness be of this latter character,
then you are not required to meot it out of
tho taxes collected for school purposes in
fact you ought not to do so but you should
lovy a building tax and apply it to this in
debtedness."
Mr. Whitakcr, of tho finance committee.
then prosontcd tho following resolution,
which was adopted:
' Resolved. That it Is hereby ordered by
the School Board of Shenandoah School Dis
trict that the tax lew for the vcar 1808 shall
be at the rate of 14 mills ou tho dollar of as
sessed valuation, distributed as follows: For
buildiug purposo, 2J per cent; for school
purposes, 11 mills; and for library purposes,
i mill."
The Board then authorized tho issuance of
a warrant to Tax Collector Burke for 1808.
Mr. Hanna moved that tho proper officers
be authorized and Instructed to executo and
issue to tho Merchants' National Bank, a cer
tificate of indebtedness equal to the amount
of orders on tho School District for teachers'
wages now held by them, the certificate to
beardato of Octobor 8, 1803. The motion
was carried.
Tho proceedings of tho meeting were
marked by extreme precaution evinced by
the Directors relative to fixing of the tax
rate. Mr. Whitaker, chairman of the finance
committee, was especially cautious and plied
numerous questions to tho Solicitor and Sec
retary as to what proportion of tho district's
indebtedness is duo to the account of build
lugs. Satisfactory answers wero given to all
Interrogatories, and after receiving assurauces
from the Solicitor that, upon the facts pre
sented to tho Board through tho rainuto book
and other sources, tho Direetors would be
justified and legally protected in adopting
tho resolution fixing the tax rate, there was
a unanimous vote of the Directors present ou
the adoption.

MUTINOUS SAILORS IN IRONS.
Thoy Objected to Going; to Sea In a
l.enUy Vessel.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9. With the ma
jority of his crew In Irons, having- mu
tinied, the British ship Jane Burrlll,
Captain Robertson, hence for Santos,
with 3,006 tons of coal, passed seaward
yesterday. Those who know Captain
Robertson have not fears but that he
will conquer the mutineers. Despite
this feeling1, there are some who have
the Idea that blood will be shed on thU
vessel.
While outward bound the Burrlll an
chored at Brandywlne shoals, and while
there began to leak, but only slightly.
All hands of the crew were set to work
to pump her out, and while thus en
gaged decided to protest against going
In the ship, on the Hround she was un
seaworthy. After a most thorough sur
vey the ship was pronounced sea
worthy. This was told the crew, but still they
protested. Captain Robertson faced
the Issue squarely. He sent to Phila
delphia for a sulllclent number of men
to wqrk the ship clear of the capes,
and went out yesterday. The crew to a
man were In mutiny, and will be kept
locked up until they agree to turn to
without further trouble.
Not long ago the British ship Ross
Shlre, Captain Baxter, hence for Illogo,
put to sea under similar circumstances,
and much uneasiness was felt for the
safety of her officers. She has since
been spoken, ond It Is presumed that
the men had turned to, as no report of
the existence of a mutiny was then
made.

THE TRACTION COMPANY.
Its Snow Sweeper Objected to by the Ash
land' Ilorough Council.
Tho meeting of tho Borough Council of
Ashland, on Wednesday evening, was prin.
cipally occupied in considering tho Schuyl.
kill Traction Company aud tho work of its
snow sweeper. Tho company has certainly
caused an ill-feeling to exist among the people
by the increased rate of fare recently iu
auguratcd, and this is cropping out in tho
deliberations of the municipal bodies in tho
towns affected. The Town Council of this
place, at its last meeting, instructed the street
committee to prohibit tho company from
blocking the streets with snow removed from
tho tracks of the road, and this was followed
by inst'uetions to tho solicitor to at once
collect the amount due as car tax by process
of law.
And now comes the Ashland Council with
similar actiou. The snow sweeper cannot be
operated iu that town, au ordinance having
been adopted to that ell'ect without a dissent
ing vote. Tho Chief Burgess was instructed
to preseut tho amount of pole tax due aud
tho number of cars operated in the borough
so that the amount of tax could bo fixed.
There are 102 poles in tho town, for which
the company must pay 25centseachannually.
Council will also secure a copy of tho com
pany's charter from the authorities at Harris
burg. Tho Chief Burgess was given to under
stand that ho must enforce rigidly tho pro
visions of the railway ordinances hereafter.

Henry ltusaell Wins His suit Against the
I. & It. C. I. Company.
Pottsvillo, Dec. 0. The trial of cases in
tho civil court Is about ended, with the ex
ception of those called yesterday. Judge
Bechtel adjourned court at an carlv hour
yesterday aftornoon because thero were no
case3 ready.
The jury in the caso.of Henry Russell vs.
the P. & R, C. & I. Co, returned yesterday
afternoon, and this morning brought in a
vcrlict for tho plaintiff for ?380.32. The
suit was brought by the plaiiititT to recover
about $1,800 for tho mining of coal and
robbing pillars at North Mahanoy colliery, ut
Mahanoy City. It was contended by Russal
that he had a contract to take out coal from
the colliery at 75 cents a wagon, aud $1 a
yard. He was stoppod by Reese Tasker and
was told that he might recover by law, if he
had a claim.
Before Judge Endlich this morning was
called the case of the Safe Deposit Bank vs.
the County Commissioners, to recover $20,000
said to havo been loaned the county and
which is not accouuted for. Much Interest is
manifested iu this suit, as it will bring up
tho missing $10,000 that figured so promin
ently lu the prosecutions against the old
board of Commissioners. Tho county is
represented by H. W. Bechtel, while tho
bank's interests is looked after by Edward
Smith and S. H. Kaercher, Esqs, The cuso
will not bo finished before to-morrow.
It was expected tho County Commissioners
would appoint tho Mercantile Appraiser
to-day, but at 4 o'clock no announcement had
been made. The position is worth about
$1,000,
At Payne's nursery, Glrardvillo, you will
find the largest stock ever seen in the county.

THETtpii
OF STEELE.
Who Aided Siugorly to Wreck a

THE BANK INSOLVENT P0E YEAES
District Attorney Heck DoolnreH Tlint
SltiKurly'H Overdrafts at tho Time of
tho Failure Amounted to $117,000.
Hln Total Indebtedness 9800,000.
Philadelphia, Dee. 9. The trial of
William Steolp, late cashier of the
Chestnut Street National bank, charged
with conspiracy and misapplication of
the fundB of the bank, making false
entries and false reports, waa begun
yesterday. A Jury was quickly secured,
and then District Attorney Beck made
the opening address, In which he re
viewed the affairs of the bank at
length. Mr. Deck declared that the
bank had been Insolvent for years. On
Dec. 27, 1S97, when the bank failed, the
overdrafts of Mr. SIngerly, the presi
dent, amounted to 117,000, and alto
gether he was Indebted to the bank
for over $S00,O00. The district attorney
laid particular stress on the fact that
without the connivance of Cashier
Steele Mr. SIngerly could not have se
cured the funds of the bank, and the
mismanagement that led to the failure
of the Institution could not have oc
curred. James S. McCartney, who testified
that he was Mr. Slngerly's confidential
agent In many transactions, was called
to the stand and asked why so many
checks, made payable to him and notes
Indorsed by him, were carried by the
bank. He said that he turned all the
money secured on the checks over to
Mr. SIngerly and Indorsed the notes at
the latter's orders. Mr. McCartney's
voice trembled as he made his replies
The first tilt between the opposing
lawyers resulted In a little victory for
Mr. Shields, because of Judge Butler's
intervention. Mr. Shields was on his
feet making an objection and Mr. Beck
attempted to speak. The Judge peered
benevolently over Ills glasses toward
the defendant's counsel, and Indicating
Mr. Beck by a wave of his hand, said:
"Tou keep quiet; I'm listening to Mr.
Shields."
With the appearance upon the stand
of Bank Examiner Hardt the real
struggle of the trial began. Ex-Judge
Gordon took an active part at times
In questioning the witness. The main
portion of Mr. Hardt's testimony bore
upon his discovery of notes and checks
amounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars which Steele had ordered the
receiving teller to carry as cash, al
though the evidences of indebtedness
often remained unpaid for three months
at a time. Judge Butler, at this point.
asked the witness how long such pa
pers could rightly be carried as cash,
and the reply was, "One night only."
