Borough Scholari* Examined.
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

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.

Whoa ton, Esq., G. L. Halsey, Esq.,

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

During his stay hero Rev. Cooper won
the respect of the entire community and

A. J. Colburn, state president of the
P. (). S. of A., has issued a letter to the

pany B, Ninth Ponna Volunteers, is the
youngest captain in the army. He is
only 22 years old. Tho captain is a son

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

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.

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 borough school board met on Sat
urday evening. 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.

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.

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.
