TEACHERS ELECTED.
The School Director of West Mnlintioy
Township Itrlng About Mi Klectlon.
After several attempts to elect teachers for
the schorls of West Mabanoy township the
Hoard of School Directors of that township
succeeded In bringing about an election but
evoning. Tho meeting was held in tho
High school building, at Lost Creek, and was
of short duration, only thirty minutes being
occupied In transacting business.
Tho short duration of the session was a
surprise to all interested and It was
rumored that a slato hnd been made bo
foro the meeting was called. A residont of
Lost Creek, who is looked upon as authorita
tive, stated to t Her.u.d representative to
day that there was uo slato made, but that it
was a mutual agreement the threo Demo
cratic and tho threo Citlzons membors of the
Board.
Tho Citlzons faction succeeded in landing
ine of their fifteen applicants. They are
Misses Koso Jlfthun, Ilrownsvillo ; Mary
McDonough, Bhonandoah ; Koso Dcvltt,
Connors Fatch ; Josephine and Sabina
Flannery, Lost Creek ; Ellon Kilcur, the
same plato. Tho male teachers aro : James
Crane, Lost Creok ; and Ellis Jordan and
Domlnick Qanghan, of Wm. I'enn.
Besides the above tho following were also
elected : II. J. Brennan, P. F. Dugan,
Thos. I'. Dixon, II. J. McLain, M. II. Carey,
Tbos. J. Donlan, Oil. Ferguson, John
Cauffield, Michael Dixon t Misses Salllo
Price, Maize Jones, Roso Ferguson, Kate
Brickloy, Llllie Beddall, Winnie Med rath,
Nellie McGuire, Maggie Dixon, Annie Noon,
Kato Malia and Mamo Murphy.
The ousted teachers aro : Misses Mary Mc
Llain, Mary Donahue, Bridget Gilroy. Anuie
Coyle, Eoso Deane, of Lost Creok ; Maggio
Deane, of Lost Creek No. 2 ; and Misses
Sallie Palmer and Maggio Welsh, of Wm.
Ponn.
There aro thirty-one teachers employed in
tho township, and of this number tho Demo
cratic faction retains twenty-two. The
Citizens aro fayorod with nine, leaving eight
dropped from tho old corps. There was one
vacancy to bo tilled owing to Mr. Carroll, of
Brownsvillo, failing to apply for reappoint
ment. Tho bond of Treasurer McAndrew,
which had been hold up, was approved at
last night's meeting.
Tho rosnlt of last nights election has
created wide-spread discussion throughout
the township. The deal is looked upon by
friends of the two factions as being tho only
proper thing to do, to avoid legal entangle
ments and in the interest of tho schools.

Another Report on the Water Works
Presented, and Unanimously
Adopted.
The Borough Council met Inrcgularscssion
last night, with tho following members in
attendanco, Messrs. McGuire, Hand, Coakley,
Neiswcntcr, Tracky, Ilarkius, Shoemaker,
Iiochm, Straugbn, James.
John McDonald, of West Strawberry alley.
complained of a nuisance created on his
premises by a public sewer running througl:
his premiees. The street rommitteo was In
structed to turn tho course of tho sewer
down the alley, and that it advertiso for bids
r the work.
Mr. Coakley reported that Managor Ash,
of tho Schuylkill Traction Company, had
made a verbal proposition to pavo tho inter
section of Main and Centre streets, provided
tho borough would glvo tho company the
prlvilcgo or putting a turn out there, to con
nect the Schuylkill Traction and Lakesido
Railway's; and also to givo the borough tho
stone with which the Schuylkill Traction
track on Main street is paved if the borough
will pavo tho track with brick; if the bor
ough will not do this, tho company will allow
the stono paving to remain.
Mr. James stated tho opinion that Council
should provide an Inspector to Inspect tho
brick to bo used for the street paving and Mr,
Straughn said the street coniinitteo should
see that tho paving contractor docs not dump
the refuse taken from Main street on to other
streets. This brought out a declaration from
Mr. Traccy that tho committee should be in'
creased, as It has too much work at present,
whereupon it was decided to increase, tho
committee from threo to fivo, and Prosident
McGuiro added Messrs. Hand aud James to
tho committee.
George Folmer was granted permission to
place his weigh scale in front of his property
on Lloyd street, npon tho condition that ho
sign an agreement to be responsible for any
damago that may ariso from tho placing of
tho scalo and that he will remove it should
tho borough desiro to pavo that street at any
time.
The brick inspectorship was taken up and
the street committeo was instructed to secure
bids from persons competent to act as inspec
tor and that a special meeting of Council be
called to act upon them.
Mr. Hand, of the finance committee, said
Mr. Tracey had called upon Tax Collector
Scanlan to get the county duplicate for 1S90,
but he refused to givo it. Mr. Hand said ho
did not know whether the temporary loan
for $2,000 authorized at tho last meeting had
been negotiated. President McGuiro said he
knew nothing about tho matter. In tho dis
cussion that followed it transpired that the
loan was negotiated on a note signed by tho
treasurer aud secretary, and also by Mr. Bell,
who acted as temporary president of Council
at tho last meeting. In answer to a question,
Solicitor liurke stated that such papers
should bo exocuted by the permanent pros!
dent and, on moliou of Mr. Neiswenter,
was decided that hereaftor the president and
secretary negotiato such loans.
It was decided, on motion of Mr. James
that Council rofuse to act on the 1800 tax ex.
ouerations of Mr. Scanlan until he furnishes
Council with a posted duplicate, and that th
fiuanco committeo so notify him in writing
On motion of Mr. Coakley tho annual
license fur tho theatrical year of 1800-1000 for
Ferguson's theatre was fixed at $100, tho
satno amount as is charged by the Borough
Council of Pottsvillo.
Mr. Boehm stated that the ordinanco passed
by Council somo mouths ago, fixing a license
fee of two dollars for each public ball held In
the town, is working an injustice, in that
most of tho balls and parties held in Bobbins
opera house aro for charitable purposes and
tho ordinance makes no exception. Tho
matter was referred to the ordinance com.
mltteo.
The law committee and Borough Solicitor
Burke made a report on tho result of tte trip
mado to Brandonvllle last Wednesday, as to
the claim for damages against the borough
mado by a mill owner named ilosor. it was
stated that photographs wero takon of the
mill and streams. The contention of the
borough is that the dimnnition of wator
the stream is not duo to appropriation of the
supply by the borough for its water works,
but to coal dirt lodged In the stream, and
therefore Mr. Moser cannot claim damages
from tho borough.
Solicitor Burke also stated that ho found
upon Investigation, that the Shenandoah Ice
Company could not claim damages for the
injury done to one of its wagons by the
collision with thp book and ladder truck,
because the collision was the result of an ac
cident.
The secretary read tho following communl
cation ;
Qkntlkme.v : Haling been annoyed In
the past by the boisterous conduct of people
In attendance at certain weddings In town
wo, the undersigned, respectfully request
your honorable body to suppress such conduct
by ordinance, or otherwise."
The communication was signed by sixteen
Polish aud Lithuanian citizens. One of tho
signers was Policeman Georgo Uraitis. The
communication was filed after several mem
bers commented upon the policeman s name
appealing asking for protection.
Councilman James stirred up a hornet
nest on the polico question by requesting tho
Chief of Police to state whether or not there
was any truth in the report that the paid
polico got some of the $10 that was paid as
costs to the Justice of the Peaco iu tho 'Red
Onion" case. Ho said If such was tho caso
was wrong for tho police to take the money,
The claim is made, lie said, that there was
not sufficient evidence to hold the peopl
raided and, if such was tho caso, why wero
they fined?
President McGuiro said he understood from
tho nowspapers that the polico "pullod" the
people at the "Red Onion" and had them ap
pear before a Justlco, and the police had such
a caso that the people agreed to leave
borough In ten days, hut they wore pot out
yesterday (Weduesday) aud the police should
explain why they aro not out 1 If tho police
cannot satisfactorily oxplalu, Council should
take hold of the nutter, and of the police
force
Chief Murphy replied hotly that tho "Red
Union was not raided, nut arrests were
mado at the place under warrants Issued on
information received from parties that were
In tbero. The Chief acquainted the Borough
Solicitor about it, and had an unlerstandi
what to do, and tho parties agreed to settle
and get out of tho town. They couldn't get
house and the Chief called on them a ooupto
of times, reminding them of tho agreement.
To-day (Thursday) tho proprietress of tho
Red Onion" said sho was going out. The
man who is talking about the costs kuows
o thine about it.
President McGuiro said: Then the officers
had a good case, and they are not doing their
uty to this borough, and Counoll should not
submit to it any longer. If an agreement
was entered Into that theso people should
leave within ten days, it should bavo been
enforced."
Chief Murphy replied that ho didn't glvo
them any specified time. The girls left tho
town that day, or the day after, and tho pro
prietress went looking for a house.
President McGuire then said, "I railed the
attention of an officer somo timo ago to a ciso
and I heard of a man connected with tho
placo getting the information from tho officer,
in. I will tako a stand Bgainst tho officers
ho don't do their duty."
Councilman Traccy snid, If tho placo was
not raided, it had a right to be, aud moro
places ought to bo raided."
Councilman James: "What I want to
now is, did any of tho polico get any of the
money on that arrest. I am going to find it
out. It is your duty (addressing Chief
Murphy) to furnish tho information."
Chief Murphy : "Tho paid polico got uo
money."
Borough Solicitor Burke said that, in view
of tho discussion having arisen over tho
flair, ho desired to mako a statement. He
said: "I was not at tho Justico's ulllco when
pcoplo wero brought tbero. I knew
othiug of the circumstances, but I told the
Ulcers, in view of the resolutionsof Council.
that, if they became Involved in such raws,
stood ready to help them. Two
Ulcers, in pursuance of the resolution
nd tho statement I made, came to my house
at four o'clock Sunday morning and I told
them to lock up tho parties. Later in the
day tho two officers came to my homo again
id told me of tho caso. I saw tho evidence
was flimsy and told them that if they could
not secure better evidence, they would not bo
ablo to couvict nuybody. They called again
Sunday ovening and repeated what evidenco
they bad, and I told them that if they
could not secure more, they would not be
ablo to convict tho peoplo iu court, and they
would come back and be the laughing Btock
f the town. The officers said the people
wero ready to leavo tho town if the police in
sisted, and I said they should insist. In ordor
that these people might not be in a position
to deny that they agreed to leavo tho town,
drow nn agreement that they leavo without
delay (It was not typewritten by tho way)
and the officers took tho paper with them,
and said tbey would compel tho parties to
Igu it. that paper is in my safe,"
President McGnlro said that, on East
Centre street, it is almost impossible for a
decent woman to sit on her porch without
being Insulted and, if the present police force
cannot stop it, there should bo a new police
lorco. Council should Insist on the police
doing their duty.
It was decided that tho lamp and watch
committeo meet the polico next Monday
evening to sco whether any of tho polico re
ceived any of tho money paid as costs iu tho
lied Onion" caso, and to also investigate tho
chargo mado against Policeman Uraitis two
months ago.

Theso figures may, to tho unthinking, appear

Against this wo can only present a redemp
tion of bonds to the amount of $9,000. Were
tho water department to be chargod with the

as well as a proper proportion of bonds that
should be redeemed annually, wo would still
have almost our full quota of bonded indebt
edness, because tho reports show that this de
partment is not solf-sustalning.
Let us tako tbo past two years (the most
favorable) as an Illustration. Tho operation
of tho water plant (exclusive of the amount
paid for land. $11,390, which might properly
bo included) amounted to $30,412 62 ; interest
on bonds, 2 years. $11,220; proportion of
bonds that should bo redeemed, $11,150
making a total of $55,782.62.
The credits include water rents for tbo

Tho figures given above are official, and are
in direct contrast to tho statements sub

That roport also stated that "the water rate
was reduced one-half, 25 conts a month, and
likewise tho rate for all other tbiugs for
which water rent Is charged, saving the bor

grievous error, and misleads the people, The

were not reduced, but remain tbo same as
they were beforo the borough plant was

Rennee, Aug. 18. The case for tho
dofense In the Dreyfus trial by court
martial began yesterday. General
Roget, M. Hertulus, the Investigating
magistrate), tho widow of the late
Lieutenant Colonel Henry and Colonel
Plcquart wero on the stand.
Mr. Hortulus, who was oxamlnlng
Magistrate In tho early stages ot the
Dreyfus revision proceedings, and who
has long declared IiIb absoluto con
viction of the Innocence ot Dreyfus,
I was the llrBt witness put forward by
Maltro Domango In behalf of tho ac
cused. Ho declared that Colonel Du
nty Do Clam and Mile. Pays were tho
authors of tho "Dlancho" and "Sper
unza" telegrams sent to Plcquart.
SI. Hertulus Uien related the noLiblo
Intorvlew betweon himself and Lleu
tonant Colonol Henry July 18, 1898,
Bhortly before Honry committed sui
cide. This, naturally, was a painful
recital for Mme. Henry, tho widow.
who was much dlstrossod and wept
silently as the dramatic scene, when
Hortulus and Henry proceeded to seal
up tho seized papers, was depleted.
After recapitulating his othor evi
dence before tho court of cassation M.
Hortulus energetically affirmed his bo
llof In the lnnoccnco of Dreyfus. He
declnred tho bordorcnu was In three
pieces and not In llttlo bits. Ho also
said It did not roach tho war ofllce by
tho ordinary channels.
M. Hortulus also said his boll of In tho
lunocence of Dreyfus was also based
on documents In the secret dossier
which he hod seen and the absence of
motive which could havo tempted
Dreyfus to have committed such a
crime. "Without motive," emphatic
ally declared tho experienced magis
trate, "there was no crimo. You have
been told that Dreyfus Is guilty. For
myself I believe, and beilovo pro
foundly, In his lnnoccnco. If I came
here to tell you so, you will understand
that It Is because my conscience tells
mo that In so doing I am performing
duty, an absoluto duty. The court
of cassation has declared the border
eau to be the work of Esterhozy. Now,
tho court of cassation Is tho supremo
authority In all matters of Justlco In
France."
Tho evidenco of M. Hertulus, was, on
tho whole, favorablo to Dreyfus in tho
Judgment of civilian listeners. Unfor
tunately his reputation is blown upon.
He
belonged, when at Nlco, to tho
South Railway gang, and, as the magi a
trnte sent to Investigate their swindle.
played Into their hands. M. Bertulus Is
an epicurean and has shocked Rennea
people by his rather gay relations with
a former actress, who somehow rolls In
riches.
Mme. Henry, nfter M. Bertulus had
doposed, asked leave to speak. She
stood up In a stagey manner, raised hor
left hand and said: "Jo domande la
parole" (I ask to be heard). She
wanjpd to contradict what Bertulus
had sold regarding the friendship of
her husband and Esterhazy. "On July
18, the day my husband called on M.
Bertulus," she said, "the colonel, in
the course of n conversation that even
ing, told me ho had a friendly and
charming reception. Ho described how
tho magistrate advanced to meet him
nnd hold out hl3 arms. I said to my
husband: 'Are yon sure of this man?
Aro you sure ho Is sincere? I am very
much afraid that his kiss was the kiss
of a Judas.' I was not wrong. This man
is Indeed tho Judas I Imagined."
Referring to the papers which ar-
rlvod at tho same time aa tho bor
dorenu, Mmo. Honry said:
"Those papers wore not all torn In a
thousand pieces. I was able to noto
that personally. Letters often came en
tiro. M. Bertulus has maintained that
everything arrived In pieces. That Is
false. I have nothing more to say."
M. Bertulus said he did not desire to
reply to Mme. Henry, adding: "Sho ta
only a woman."
I am not a woman," exclaimed Mme.
Henry, furiously) "1 speak In the
name of my hubband."
Tho incident caused great oxc! fo
ment In court.
Colonel Plcquart was then called to
tho witness stand. He protosted most
firmly against all suspicion of having
caused the disappearance of any docu-
mont relating to Dreyfus. Ho described
tho consternation In tho war office
when the treason was discovered, and
me renet experienced wnen It was
thought the guilty porson had been
discovered. It waa then the witness
discovered the similarity between tho
handwriting of Dreyfus and that of tho
bordereau, and be had recourse to Du
I'aty de Clam, "who waa supposed to
nave grapnoiogicnl knowledge."
"ueyona tho bordereau." added the
witness, "there was nothing against
yreyrus absolutely nothing."
Tne colonel next declared that In
1894 he did not know the contents of
the secret dossier, but he believed, like
all other officers, that It contained
(rightful proofs against the Drlsoner.
When ho became acquainted with Its
contents, however, he found that his
"earlier impressions wore entirely
