Principal Houck's Report to Directors Treats on Laxity of Parents in Relation to Scarlet Fever. The November meeting of the borough school board was hold Wednesday even ing. Those present wore Directors Kline, Trevaskis, Hell, Isaac, Hrown, Everltt and McCJolo. One of the principal matters before the hoard was a reference in the month ly report of supervising principal Houck to the carelessness shown by the parents of many pupils In allowing their chil dren to visit and frequent houses where scarlet fever exists. The principal supplemented his report with verbal statements relative to the subject, and the directors were unanim ous in their opinion that the laws of the Hoard of Health should bo strictly obey ed. There are a number of cases of scarlet fever in town, and, unless the parents of pupils carefully follow out the health laws, an epidemic will natur ally follow. The pricipal's report for the second mouth showed an enrollment of 891. The average attendance was 92 per cent. The building and grounds committee was authorized to have duplicate grates for the furnaces in the Ridge street and Washington street buildings cast at the Salmon Iron Works, so that no school time may be lost should either grate give out during cold weather. Principal Schmidt, of Hirvanton school, made application for a better system of ventilation in his buildiug. The matter was discussed and several members offered suggestions which if acted upon will overcome the present difficulty. The insurance on Washington street, Second ward and Third ward buildings having expired, it was decided to renew the contracts with Mrs. S. E. Hayes for three tnofe years and to increase the amount on the Second ward building SSOO. The insurance carried on these three buildings will be as follows: Washington stroet, $15,000; Second ward, $1,500 on building and S3OO on furniture; Third ward, SSOO on building and $l5O on furniture. The report of the county superinten dent showed that all the Freeland teachers attended institute five days, with the exception of George McLaugh lin, who was absent the last day on ac count of illness. Tax Collector Malloy's report of taxes collected and money paid the treasurer during th 6 lirst sixty days was read and accepted. An agent of the Melodian Music Com pany, of New York city, addressed the board on the subject of introducing music in the schools and stated he would be hero before next term begins to demonstrate the merits of his system. He complimented the members upon the business methods they show in con ducting their alTairs. These bills were ordered paid: Wil liam Wood Si Co., books, $8.08; Fisher tfc Schwatt, books, $29.91; American Hook Company, books, $44.70; Hutler, There is no pleasure in life if you dread going to the table to eat and can't rest at night on account of indigestion.

Freeland Republicans have as yet taken no steps toward arranging for a celebration of Tuesday's victory. It was understood that if either the national or county ticket won that the event would bo commemorated by a demonstration, but tho magnitude of the sweep, it would seem, has been so great that even the Republicans are dazed and cannot arrange a fitting celebration. A number of tho party workers will go to Ilazleton this even ing and participate in the parade in that city. l'A HADE POSTPONED. On account of the inclement weather the parade and demonstration in honor of the Republican victory, to be held this evening at Ilazleton, was postponed this morning to a date which will bo an nounced later. Some, evening next week will be chosen by the committoe in charge of the celebration. Will Pay Semi-Monthly. (. 11. Murkle & Co. have notified their mine employes that the firm will pay semi-monthly. Tho Tribune has not learned the date when the change from monthly payments will be made, but it is said the now rule will go into effect in the near future. This action of tho firm is voluntary. It is understood that petitions con taining the namo of almost every em ploye of the firm are about ready for presentation at Jeddo. These petitions relate to tho semi-monthly pay law, and when presented it will be compulsory on the part of Markle & Co. to pay tho employes their wages twice a month. The employes of the Delaware and Hudson Company have demanded that tho company comply with the semi monthly payment law. The employes of tho Kingston Coal Company have made the same demand. Toadstools Caused Death. Joseph Turkon, of Throop, Lacka wanna county, died this week and his death Is supposed to bo tho result of his having eaten several of those deadly fungi, toadstools, while under the be lief that they were mushrooms, On Monday afternoon his wife wont into the fields near the house and picked a largo number of mushrooms, which grow plentifully thereabouts. Together with these she must have gathered several toadstools, for after the evening meal Turkon, his wife and two of their children became violently 111. Mrs. Turkon and the children were relioved and soon felt no ill effects from the meal. Turkon, howovor, grew speedily more and more sick. Warrants for Three Men. Warrants wore sworn out yesterday for the arrest of three young men of Audenrled, on tho charge of assault, preferred by Mrs. Ilalaman, of Gar wood.

A number of prominent citizens discovered the young men in tho woods, and attempted to capture them, but they escaped and have not been seen since. Work Resumed.

Montana, were gladden ed yesterday by the receipt of a tele gram announcing his election to the legislature of that state on the Demo cratic-Fusion ticket. Two years ago he was defeated by a small majority. The young man is a son of Mrs. Morris Ferry, Washington street, and was a visitor here last spring. Mr. Ferry is the second Freeland young man who has been chosen to represent Silver Bow county in the Montana legislature. The other was Charles Boner, a son of Mrs. Patrick Boner, South Washington street, who served a term in that body some years ago. The Republicans in Lackawanna county elected everything but their candidates for judge, sheriff and register of wills. There was remarkable inde pendent voting. McKinley lias a ma jority of 1,200, and John P. Kelley, the Democratic nominee for judge, has a majority qf 4,100. Judge Kelley Is the only Democrat on the Lackawanna bench. lie was appointed some time ago to the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Gunster. The Republican committee of the Fifth legislative district claims to have discovered overwhelming evidence that wholesale frauds at certain voting pre cincts have been committed, so that it would be made to appear that Burke had been elected. A thorough investi gation has been ordered, and the com mittee claims a contest will show that William Strange, Republican candidate, has been elected. Timothy Hayes, at one time a resident of Freeland, went down with his fellow- Democrats on Tuesday. He was a can didate for the legislature in the First district of Lackawanna county. Hayes received 3,538 votes and his opponent 4,031. Silas E. Jones, of West Ilazleton, the defeated Democratic candidate for pro thonotary, is In the field for the nomi nation for sheriff next year. Explosion of Powder. A peculiar explosion occurred in No. 5 colliery, Jcddo, yesterday. A box of dynamite and a quantity of common blasting powder went off In some un known manner in the gangway worked by Thomas Elliott. The latter and his laborers happened to be absent from tho Immediate vicinity at the timo. While they escaped danger from the explosion, they wore in peril of being suffocated by tho Intense smoke It created. To obtain pure air they had to pass through tho smoke, which they did with great difficulty and were completely exhausted when they reached a safe spot. The cause of the explosion is un known. No person was near tho pow dor at the time, and why It exploded is a mystory which will probably remain unsolved. No Change in Strike. There is no change of any account in the strike at the silk mill. Tho plant continues to run with tho force which remained at work, but the lack of help has badly handicapped the management and there are rumors that tho mill will close down for an Indefinite period un less sufficient help is soon procured. Tho striking employes are less demon strative of lato than they were during the early part of tho trouble. They claim, however, that there are no de fections from their ranks and that they will stay out until the mill owners com ply with their demands. Sheriff Harvey was prosent at the mill on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at quitting time. Teachers' Institute. The semi-monthly institute of the teachers of Freeland borough schools was held Wednesday evening In the Washington street building. There was a good attendance and all tho teachers evinced a great doal of Interest in the papers read.
