The examination exercises preparatory to the graduation of the fourteen pupils of the eight grade of t,Jie borough schools (E. F. llanlou's room) were held in the Daniel Coxo Memorial school on Satur day. The examination was conducted by Messrs. McLaugliling and Ilanlon, teachers, and Secretary •). F. Sweeney, of the school board. The morning ses sion was taken up with questions in spelling, arithmetic and geography, and t.lie afternoon session with questions in grammar, history, reading, writing and oral exercises, making in all a very rigid and complete examination. After all papers prepared by the pupils were in the hands of the examining board, t,he\ were dismissed and the result of their work was given at the school board meeting that evening. The average percentage made by each pupil was a> follows: Mary McGIII 9<s% Mary Boyle 94'4 Aq nil la Johnson 93% Hannah McLaughlin 93% Mary McLaughlin 93 John Lindsay 92% Daniel Timony 91 L Genevieve Bachman 90% Bessie Owens 88% Mamie Brown 87% Allio Boyer 80% Walter Davis 82% Maine Crawford 80% Pearl Mowroy 80% The examining board had previously decided that, all pupils attaining a per centage of 70 should graduate. As every pupil entered went at least in above this figure, the pupils, teachers and directors are proud of the result of the first year of the schools under the graded system. The showing of the pupils was consid ered very good and the results ought to spur on to seek further for knowledge those who intend to remain at school; while the object lesson of tiie examina tion, it is hoped by the directors, will serve as an incentive to other pupils of tin? borough schools, that they may du plicate the success of these pupils in the examinations of the future. It is likely that when the board re ceives the diplomas tlio class will be called together for the purpose of pre senting tliem witli tokens of tlio direc tors' appreciation of their work. The papers of the pupils can lie ex amined by parents or other persons in terested by applying to tlio secretary. Better Railroad Accommodat ion*. Reference to the new Lehigh Valley time table, which went into effect yes terday, shows that Freeland lias fared very well in this latest schedule. An early morning train for Now York and Philadelphia, leaving here at t.20 o'clock, and a late train from the same places, arriving hero at 8.32 p. in., are the principal changes, and the ones which our business people wero most anxious t,u obtain. The afternoon train from the county seat now arrives ut 4.32, instead of 2.39 o'clock, and the last train from the upper end is due at ($.57, in instead of 7.25, its former time. The departure and arrival of all other trains vary only a few minutes either way. Postmaster Davis lias not yet received orders to send mail off on the 0.20 a. m. train. This was a very convenient ser vice and it is hoped that mail will soon bo carried on it again. The first out going mail closes at 3 a. m. Reception at. St. Ann's Church. At St. Ann's Catholic church last evening tlio ceremony of formally ad mitting nineteen applicants into the Daughters of Mary Sodality and lifty two applicants Into tho Children of Mary was conducted witli impressive services. The initiation ceremonies were carried out under the supervision of Father Mack, and were followed by an able serinon from Father Dever, of Beaver Meadow, who spoke for nearly an hour, giving much sound advice and encour agement to the largo congregation pres ent. Father Fa 11 ihoe, of St.. Ann's, and Fathers Leonard and Burke, of llazleton, were also present. For Lelrtenring for Governor.

Albert Leisenring, C. C. Bowman, L. M. Minnick and W. 1). Watkins. Three other delegates were absent. A canvass showed that the delegates were a unit for ex-Congress man John Leisenring for governor for first choice, aud in tho event of ills name being withdrawn, their support will ho divided among the other candidates. Rev. S. Cooper TraiiKferred. Rev. S. Cooper, pastor of St. Paul's Primitive Methodist church, lias been transferred to Mt. Carmel by tho Penn sylvania* conference, which met last week in Pittsburg, lie will bo succeeded by Rev. Samuel Ponglase, of Plains. During his stay hero Rev. Cooper won the respect of the entire community and worked faithfully in building up his charge from a small gathering to a large congregation. The best wishes of the community will go with him when lie leaves for his new field. LOCAL WAR NOTES. Company D, Ninth regiment, was composed of Wilkesbarre's elite, but when it came to volunteering nearly one-half of these chappies said "no." Among the brave young men who went, to Mt. Gretna and filled tlio vacancies left by these holiday soldiers Freeland is represented by Simon J. Neuberger. When "Sime" told his friends lie was "off for the war" they somewhat doubted him, but a.l noubts are dispelled by the muster roll, a copy of which tho TUIHUXK has received. A. J. Colburn, state president of the P. (). S. of A., has issued a letter to the members in which he recommends that companies be formed from the camps of each district and that they begin drilling immediately. If another call for troops be made lie expects to have a P. O. S. of A. brigade ready for service. Captain L. Denison Stearns, of Com pany B, Ninth Ponna Volunteers, is the youngest captain in the army. He is only 22 years old. Tho captain is a son of Major Irving A. Stearns, of Wilkes barre. the president and general manager of the 1). S. *& S. and other Coxe corpor ations. Lieutenant E. C. Denticr, of the Eleventh infantry, regular army, who lias opened a recruiting office at Wilkes barre, will be in llazleton tomorrow at 10 o'clock to examine all parsons in this region who desire to enlist. White Haven's contribution to the army consists of E. S. Trimmer, John Meztgar and Fred Grunert. They have enlisted in Company F, Ninth regiment. Mitchell Gallagher, the bicyclist, has joined Company D. Edward Roberts, a young man who formerly lived here, called on Freeland friends on Saturday wiiiie en route from Shainokin to Wilkesbarre. Ho intends to enlist at the latter place in the reg ular army. Robert Farrar. a son of George C. Farrar, of South Heberton, lias enlisted in the Fifth Missouri infantry. This is another case where blond tells, his father having served in the rebellion. Wutar Company Improvement!*. Freeland Water Company will, begin tliis week to enlarge tho capacity of tho big reservoir at Rirvanton. An addi tional water depth will he given by in creasing the height of the walls two feet. Bricklayers, masons and car penters will lie put to work on the im provement at once, tomorrow probably. The reservoir will, when this work is finished, have a capacity of nearly 30t$,- 000 gallons, an addition of 72,000 gallons over its present capacity, it is B<)xtso foot and will have an average depth of 8% feet. The company does not expect any scarcity of water during the coming summer, as the supply is good aud enough can be stored in tlio reservoir to (ill present ncods for days at a time, but they intond to keep ahead of tlio growth of the town, as in Hie past, and thereby prevent a water famine. The steadily increasing population will not bo permitted to reach the limit of tho supply, as the constant improvements made by the company testify. Sluirk ClinrmorN, In the Persian gulf the divers have a curious way of opening the season. They depend Implicitly upon the shark conjurers and will not descend with out their presence. To meet this diffi culty the government is obliged to hire the charmers to divert the attention of the sharks from the fleet. As the sea son approaches, vast numbers oinatives gather along the shore aud erect huts and tents and bazaars. At the oppor tune moment—usually at midnight, so as to reach the oyster banks at sunrise —the fleet, to the number of 80 or 100 boats, puts out to sea. Each of these boats carries two divers, a steersman and a shark charmer, and is manned by eight or ten rowers. Other conjur ers remain 011 shore, twisting their bodies and mumbling incantations to divert the sharks. In case a man-eater is perverse enough to disregard ;he charm and attack a diver, an alari"* is given and no other diver will descend that day. The power of the conjurer is believed to he hereditary, and the efficacy of his incantations to be wholly independent of his religious faith. Projectiles for Rig Guns*. % Projectiles used by the United States Army for its great modern guns cost as follows: Solid shot, 8-inch, $09.80 each; 10-inch, $114.50 each; 12-inch, $212 each; 12-inch mortar shells, weighing 800 pounds, sll4 .each, and 12-inch mortar shells, weighing 1,000 pounds each, $195 each.

Bears the /i Kind You Have Always Bought School Board-* in SeNsion. Foster school directors held tlieii monthly meeting at Woodside on Satur day evening. Superintendent Gabrio's report showed an average attendance of 957 pupils. Institute will lie held next Saturday, and the superintendent called the attention of the board to the fact that T. J. McConnon, of Wilkesbarre. will bo present and talk upon tho sub ject of vertical penmanship—a matter which is being discussed at length in educational circles. He invited the directors to attend. The application of Miss Lulu Schmidt, of Freeland, to enter the permanent certificate class and that of Joseph Sar rieks, of Sandy Run, for a state normal diploma, met with the approval of the board. Tax Collector Oberrender's account of his efforts to collect taxes from men em ployed by Markle *fe Co. was quiet inter- esting. lie visited Jeddo oflico three times without success. The list of names which the board refused to ex onerate at a previous meeting was given to Superintendent Smith, but not a cent of taxes can be collected from them until their store debts to the company are cancelled. The report showed how hard the collector had tried to get the money, and the board acknowledged its appreciation by exonerating him from these taxes and passing a vote of thanks for his efficient work. It WHS decided to close the schools at the end of the ninth month. The teach ers are to be given their vouchers for the eighth and ninth months. There is $350 in tlie treasury.

The president reported that on account of the illness of Mr. Zimmerman the plan adopted at tlx; last meeting for the examination of all the schools would necessitate the closing of Mr. McLaughlin's room, and that not being the understanding of the members at the time, lie engaged Miss Mary Me (iill at the minimun salary of $35 per month. The action of the president was approved. In view of the work perform ed by Messrs. Ilanion and McLaughlin in conducting tin; examination of the grad uating class, the board voted them an extra day's pay. The secretary then read the result of the examination, which is published in another column. The question of procuring a suitable diploma for the graduates was referred to the secretary. Mr. Timony was instructed to have some necessary repairs attended to around the different buildings. The board accepted the urinals contracted for some time ago with William William son, they having been placed in the buildings. A request from Miss Tillie Lindsay was granted, allowing her the use of a room for the purpose of con ducting a private school. The following bills were ordered paid: E. J. Edwards Si Co., flag-pole rope, $1: John Brennan, repairs, $1; A. A. Bach man, painting, ss. It was agreed that the examiner, in arranging the papers of the pupils in the different schools, give to those making the required percentage and entitled to promotion a document stating the same, in order to facilitate matters at the opening of next term. Tax Collector Baclunan was present and stated the means whereby he was endeavoring to collect the money still due the school district. The members of the board will look up some way of assisting the collector, who will also consult with his attorney. The board adjourned to meet at the call of the president.

Ccneral Sheridan's Opinion of IN'tinsyl vuni*4*B National Guard Recalled l'aririy Cannon Cutting Capers on the Square. What Some People Want to Know. From tlic Philadelphia Record. In view of the recent contention over the standing of tlio Pennsylvania Na tional Guard as an organization, and the efforts of the state authorities to have the troops enter the volunteer array intact, an incident of Cleveland's first inauguration is of special interest. As the head of the Pennsylvania troops reached thq president's stand that offi cial, turning to General Sheridan, then the head of the army, asked: "Are these the regulars?"' "No, Mr. President." answered Little Phil, "that's the First brigade. National Guard of Pennsyl vania." "Well, are these the regulars? again asked the president, as the next, brigade appeared. "No, Mr. President." was the reply, "that's the Second brigade. National Guard of Pennsylvania." A> the next body of troops reached the stand, the president remarked. "These surely are the regulars?" "No, Mr. President," again came the answer, "that's the Third brigade, National Guard of Pennsylvania." "Well, gener al," asked the president in surprise, "are there any troops here from any other state than Pennsylvania?" "None that are worth a damn!" was the prompt ! answer of the famous fighting general. Pari<lCannon ami Ills Hike, from the Wilkesliarre Lender. If Paddy Cannon continues topractic with a bicyclo on the Square there will be no arches to greet the visitors of next week. Paddy lias been tumbling against thoso arches all week in his frantic j efforts to master a wheel. He is improx ! lug, of course, and before many weeks | will bo among the scorchers. Once upon a time Mr. Cannon was the best 100 yards runner in the state and even now there are few who can equal his record, lie still possesses the power which won him fame as a runner and there is every possibility of bis developing into a great rider—that is if he ever learns to ride. And he will, for he can even now ride around the Square without running into j the court house curbing more than seven i times. What a Few Thousand Want to Know. From the Wilkesbarre Reporter. There are a few thousand men in tin county of Luzerne who would like to know why the taxes have been increased so much when it lias been published in large and small headlines that, the coun ty has boon saved fifty thousand, mot or less dollars in routine expenses. It looks nice in print but when taxes are almost doubled they want to know what sort of system Is followed. It seems to be a case of the more is saved the more it cost. SIOO Reward, SIOO.
