SCHOOL BUSINESS.
President McCarthy Charged With Being
Responsible for District's Condition.
President McCarthy, Secretary Swee- i
ney. Treasurer Timony and Director ■
Schaub were present at the borough i
school board meeting on Saturday even- j
ing. After the call to order, the secre
tary read the minutes of the October j
meeting and proved that lie lias finally |
carried out bis repeated threats to falsi- j
fy the minutes of the school board re- j
garding the famous marble slab. Neat
ly tucked in the minutes of the meeting :
referred to was this: "The secretary ;
•lsked permission to make a statement
in regard to a matter published in a
newspaper about the marble slab. The
secretary interrogated Messrs. Schaub
and John sou as to whether they were
present at a caucus at which the word
ing was decided upon. They answered
that they were, the president sustaining
the secretary in the matter."
This flagrant perversion of the truth,
inasmuch as Mr. Johnson emphatically
stated he did not know of the wording |
until the slab appeared in the building,
did not cause more than ordinary aston- j
ishraent among those present, as many
are aware that the secretary lias on J
several occasions threatened to place I
something on the minutes which would |
clear him of the stigma which is attach- :
ed to the changing of tlio names on the
slab.
A communication from John Rogan.
offering to haul coal f0r93.50 per double
load and wood for 552.50 per doublo load,
was received and laid over. A bill of
$313.52 from Kaudruff tfc Davey, archi
tects, representing balance claimed to
be due on plans for new school, was
read. It was agreed to pay them 5 per
cent on contract price of the building, !
viz., 5 per cent of amount paid Contrac
tor Riebe. State Treasurer Haywood
notified the board that the annual ap
propriation would not likely be paid be
fore May, 1808, owing to the falling off
in state receipts and the paying of large
hills contracted by the legislature.
The insurance on South Ilcberton
building, which expires November 17.
was ordered renewed at the present
rate; also that a special permit bo ob
tained for the vacant building in South ;
Heberton. The Daniel Coxe School was
ordered insured for 813,000 and the fur
niture therein at $2,000, to be placed by
Mrs. S. E. Hayes.
A lengthy discussion was indulged in
by the president and secretary over the
legality of the recent meeting at which i
the board decided to elect a teacher to
relievo the crowded condition of the
schools. The president claimed lie had
not boon noli lied of the purpose of the
meeting. The secretary then asked for
a remedy. McCarthy suggested double
sessions. This was opposed by Schaub
and Sweeney, the latter making a motion
to elect an assistant teacher. The
motion was lost by the president voting
against it, and the discussion ended by
Sweeney charging McCarthy that the
responsibility for the condition of the
schools now rests upon the latter.
A complaint that the system of educa
tion adopted by the board was not being
carried out, that some teachers persist
ed in using their own ideas instead of
tlio course laid down by the directors,
was presented in an indignant mannor
by the secretary. He stated that one of
the teachers was his informant. The
president asked Sweeney to give the
name of tlio disobedient teacher, so that
action could be taken by the board, but
this was refused.
The secretary wanted the whole corps
of teachers called together and warned
on the subject. Schaub and McCarthy
did not favor lecturing all for an offense
said to bo committed by one. As the
secretary still refused to furnish the
name of the guilty teacher, this episode
ended by directing the principals to
have the' course of studies carried out
strictly.
Director Schaub notified the board
that M. Schwabo will deliver Drifton
coal at 30 cents per ton, provided he be
allowed to do all the hauling. In view
of tliis, he moved to advertise in the
Trirunk and Plain Spcaktr for bids for
hauling. McCarthy defeated the motion
by voting against it. His suggestion
! that the secretary write and post notices
j for bids was then adopted.
| A freight bill of 35 cents from the 1).
S. it S. Company was presented. The
president not having any objections, it
was ordered paid. A large number of
bills were laid over until next Saturday
evening, when business will be resumed.

| ing the force out of polities—" that is,
by administering it on principles of
J decency, and appointing and promoting
men on their merits, without regard
!to their political backing. The first
! case was that of an old fellow, a vete
| rati of the civil war, who was at the
time a roundsman. 1 happened to no
tice one day that he had saved a wom
an from drowning, and had him sum
moned so that 1 might look into the
matter. The old fellow brought up his j
record before me. and showed not a
little nervousness and agitation; for it
appeared that he had grown gray in
the service, had performed feat after
feat of heroism, but had no political
backing of any account. lie was a
grand army man, but not one of the
"political" type, and so had not re
ceived any attention from the former
police bomrds; and now, at last, he
thought there was a chance for him.
He had been 22 years on the force,
and during that time had saved some
25 persons from death by drowning,
varying the performance once or twice
by saving persons from burning build
ings. Twice congress had passed laws
especially to empower the then secre
tary of the treasury, John Sherman, to
give him a medal for distinguished gal
lantry in saving life. The Life Sifving
society had also given him its medal,
and so had the police department. On
examining into his record carefully, we
found that he was wholly free from
complaints of any infraction of duty,
and that lie was sober and trustworthy.
STOPPING A RUNAWAY.
(One of the Heroic Deeds Performed by-
New York's Policemen.)
We felt that he was entitled to his
promotion, and he got it. We did not
know his politics, nordid wecareabout
them. It was very unlikely that the
woman whom lie last saved, as he swam
out towards her, felt any special inter
est as to whether he had voted for
Cleveland or Harrison; nor did we.
Jle had risked his life freely again and
again to the performance of his duty;
l.e had conducted himself so as to be a
credit to the department, and a credit
to the city; and we felt that he was en
titled to his reward,
It is worth while mentioning that i
ho, kept on saving life after lie was pro
moted to a sergenntcy. On October 21,
1800, he again saved a man from drown
ing. It was at night. Nobody else
was in the neighborhood, and the slip
from which lie jumped was in abso
lute darkness, and he was about ten
minutes in tlie water, which was very
cold. The captain of the precinct, in
reporting the case,said: "The sergeant
was off the bulkhead and into the wa
ter after his man quicker than it takes
to say 'Jack Robinson.' " There was no
way in which the board could reward
him for this, except by telling him that
he was an honor to the department;
for he had been given all the medals,
and bars to the medals, that ho could
lie given. It was the twenty-ninth per
son whose life he had saved during his
23 years' service in the department, and
he was 55 years old when lie saved
him.
