| SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Directors Agree to l>i*cni iuue 'the Case
Agulnnt tliu Hoy*.
Tho school board mot last evening in
special session with Messrs. Timony,
Sweeney, Ferry and Rnte present.
The latter was ciiosen president
pro tern. Tho object of the meeting
was to settle with Tax Collector Mal
loy.
The collector's exoneration list was
presented. It contained names of many
persons who cannot he found in the
town, also the names of a few in town
who take quite an active part in politi
cal and other movements, but who will
not pay tax. The board carefully ex
amined the list and allowed all the ex
onerations except, seven. These the\
thought ought to be made pay the $10.70
they owe, and the collector will got
after them again. Including this
amount Mr. Malloy's balance due the
school district is only $87.70.
Messrs. Bell, Eastwood, Donop and
Dougherty, parents of tho boys who
broke into the Washington street school
building a short time ago and destroyed
a lot of books, etc., appeared before the
board and asked that the directors be
lenient with them, as it was the boys' (irsi
offense. They asked to have the mat
ter settled out of court.
It was agreed that the board should
discontinue the prosecution of the boys
and have tho matter settled. The
parents agreed to see that tho boys be
have themselves in the future.

llilliiiun Breaker in lining.
On Tuesday evening the old llillinst.ii
breaker, located in Plains township,
collapsed and fell in a heap of rotten
timber. The crash was heard some dis
tance away. It came when the rain
poured in torrents. A number of men
were returning to their homes from
work but had luckily passed on before
they sought shelter, instead of standing
under the old breaker, as was the gen
eral custom. Had they taken refuge
there some fatalities would have result
ed. The breaker was built many years
ago and has been abandoned for some
time.
A*kc<l to Itr-sign or Withdraw.
Clerks of Courts J. L. Wagner lias
asked his chief deputy, W B. Ivoons,
formerly of Sandy Run, to either resign
his position or withdraw as a candidate
for the Republican nomination of clerk
of courts. Mr. Wagner is a candidate
again, and he does not take kindly to
to any opposition coming from within
his official household. Mr. Loons' an
swer has not yet been made public. His
friends claim he lias a sure grip on the
nomination and would gain nothing by
withdrawing from the contest.
Investigating a Breaker Fire.
From the Ilazlcton Plain Speaker.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company offi
cials are yet suspicious that some one
set fire to the breaker at No. 1 Jeanes
villo several weeks ago. A Jeancsville

declared his Innocence. There is no
direct evidence that tho fire was of in
cendiary origin, but the officials are con
ducting an investigation.

ASSAILED ROCKEFELLER.
A Missionary From China Scores the
Mmiar<l Gil Magnate.
Pittsburg, May 25.—There was a gen
uine sensation at the Baptist conven
tion now In session here. The Rev. W.
H. Cossum, a missionary from China,
was called upon to tell of the work in
his foreign Held. As he mounted the
platform the delegates settled them
selves comlortably lor a two hour ad
dress on foreign missions. What they
got was a rather sensational address on
John D. Rockefeller. It was a rhetor
ical bombshell.
"I know that what I am about to say
will not please ail of you," said Mr.
Cossum, "and may displease many of
you. But I am bold to say what 1 be
lieve to be right. I must say what is.
burning within me. It is this: What
our denomination needs is not rich men,
but holy men. A New York millionaire
has offered us a great gift. I say I hat
great gift should not be accepted unless
John D. Rockefeller tirst makes con
fession to the American people. We
must accept no money that does not
come from clean hands. Let Mr. Rocke
feller purify himself and bring in this
gift as a righteous. God fearing man.
and then we can accept it.
"1 know I am not saying what Dr.
Duncan wanted me to say. but I am not
Dr. Duncan's man. He knows it. too.
but he is not here just now so that 1
can tell him so. I am aware that what
I have said is not the sentiment of the
body, but 1 am bold enough to say what
1 think should be said regardless of
what the world may think."
As the speech closed with these words
a little ripple of applause started, but
quickly subsided. It was evident that
the delegates were taken by surprise.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Kennard of Chi
cago made a spirited defense of Mr.
Rockefeller, asserting that the great
millionaire is a devout Christian and
not a mere worshiper of wealth. He
scored Mr. Cossum for his attack on
Mr. Rockefeller and hinted that the
young missionary would learn modera
tion with increased experience in the
work.
The Rev. Dr. 11. Moorhouse, on be
half of the Home Mission society, ex
pressed its disapproval, censured Mr.
Cossum and spoke of Mr. Rockefeller
as the noble benefactor of the Baptist
denomination.
The Rev. Mr. Grant of China, a friend
of Mr. Cossum. defended his colleague,
and the debate became heated. A mo
tion to adjourn was made and quickly
passed. Upon the fall of the president's
gavel a babel of tongues broke loose,
the delegates discussing the sensational
feature with animation.

THE DYNAMITE PLOT.
TRIAL FOR TRY
ING TO BLOW UP A FAMILY.
j Tlmt Is t!i Accusation Against tin* Pris
oners—Former Congressman Levi Wullei
and Mr, Samuel Knorr Were, It 1M Al
legfld, the Intended Victims.
| Bloomsburg, Pa.. May 26.—Lloyd 9*
Wintersteen and Clifton Knorr have
been placed on trial before Judge Kr
mentrout of Berks county, charged \vitl
making an attempt by dynamite Upoi
the' life of Levi E. Waller and his fain
.ily.
District Attorney Graham of Phila
delphia, for the prosecution, and J. 1-1
Jacobs, for the defense, examined the
jurors, and 12 men were secured aftei
a list of 48 had been run through.
Knorr and Wintersteen were called
upon to plead to seven different Indict
ments, comprising 15 counts. Knori
pleaded guilty to all the counts; hence
he will have no trial. Wintersteer
pleaded not guilty. He says he car
easily prove his innocence. Case No. 1
charging Wintersteen with intent tc
commit murder by exploding a dyna
mite bomb, was the first one called.
Levi Waller, upon whose life the at
tempt was made, is a son of an eminent
Presbyterian divine and was a incmbei
of the legislature from this county. He
is a brother of David J. Waller, late
superintendent of public instruction in
this stale.
Mrs. Waller, whose life was also en
dangered by the explosion, is a daugh
ter of former United States Senator
and Congressman Charles H. Bucka.
lew, who was also United States minis
ter to Peru and who was defeated by
Hartranft for governor of Pennsylva
nia.
Mr. Wintersteen has a large law prac
tice and is also actively interested In
the Bloomsburg Car company, Blooms
burg Brass and Copper company and
Keystone Foundry and Machine com
pany. He is a man of ample means.
A charge of dynamite was exploded
on the porch of the house of Levi E.
Waller, a leading attorney of Blooms
burg, on the morning of Sept. 10. 1896.
Part of the building was torn away.
The explosion was directly beneath
Waller's window. He and his wife, whe
were asleep in bed. were stunned fot
more than an hour. The whole coun
try rose up In Indignation, and a reward
of SI,OOO was offered for the dynamiter
Waller thought of Lloyd S. Winter
steen's hatred of him and told his sus
picions to a detective.
The Arrest of Knorr.
On Christmas day Clifton Knorr
young, well connected, refined, a grad
uate of Lehigh university and fret
from any criminal associations, was ar
rested in Heading and placed in jail at
Bloomsburg.
Knorr made a clean breast of all th
villainous dealings which, he said, h<
had had with his prompter and em
ployer, Lloyd S. Wintersteen. The lat
ter was arrested too.
Wintersteen, Knorr said, had hated
Waller for several years. It began in a
social feud and was carried into law
suits. Colonel Samuel S. Knorr, Clifton
Knorr's father, and Wintersteen had
been partners, the latter having com
menced the study of law as the colo
nel's student. They made investments
together. the most important being tin
controlling interest in the Bloomsburg
Iron company, acquired in 1887. Tin
colonel died in 1889. The mill did nol
prosper.
Wintersteen had acquired two-thirds
of his partner's stock and was trying
for the remainder when the widow
Clifton Knorr's stepmother, made lega
complaint of mismanagement. Wallet
was her counsel, and the suit grew
more bitter every day. Other suits fol
lowed.
Clifton Knorr was not on his mother's
side, though he lived under the samt
roof with her. Wintersteen had lent
him money from time to time, and, it is
said, could do what ho pleased with,
him. Knorr said Wintersteen frequent
ly declared to him that Waller ought t<
be put out of the way. Dynamite was
several times suggested.
Finally Wintersteen offered Knorr, s<
the latter says, several hundred dollars
after the dynamiting was done, and
$5.0u0 or $6,000 after his suit against Mrs
Knorr for money loaned was ended, lb
told Knorr where to get the dynamite
In a quarry toolhouse. Arrangements
for the explosion were perfected in Sep
tember in Heading. Knorr told how
he put the dynamite under Waller's
porch, lit the fuse and escaped to Read
ing.
Knorr twlpo put poison—a powder—
Into his stepmother's cup at Winter
steen's suggestion in December, 1895, sr
the confession says. The servant girl
saw him and emptied it out without
telling her mistress. In January. 1896
Wintersteen suggested killing her by
diphtheria germs, Knorr said, and thej
were purchased by mail from New
York.
But the conspirators found they would
have to inoculate Mrs. Knorr. and knew
no way to do it. The stepson scattered
the germs over her dress, but they had
no effect.
